Tho Drawback Frauds in the New York, Cuse tom HouseIneifevtual Attempts to Remove Collecter Grinuell. ‘The frauds and drawbacks mentioned as having vecn discovered by the Congressional Commitice ‘and occasioning considerable excitement in the New York Custom House turn out, as far as tho information of the ‘Treasury Department 1s con- cerned, to be old cases which occurred in 1866. There is no knowledge here of any new cases. ‘The parties implicated in te frauds of 1866 bave been indicted and will be tricd as soon as the rigmarole of the law will admit. Mr. Blatchiord 18 one of tbe principal witnesses in the case. Collector Grinnell Ww-day mentioned wo the Secretary of the Treasury that he did not believe that Mr. Blatchford had left hia post irreguiarly. The gentleman bad obtained a eave of absence for a week, and it was the Collec tor’s opinion at the expiration of that time he would resume his duties. Mr. Griunell’s presence here to-day has led to many exciting rumors, but none of them probably true, 1 have good authority for the statement that Mr. Grinunoi has the full cond- dence of the President and Secretary of the Treasury, and thut certain efforis to procure his removal have been entirely iruitiess. More Currency Necded South, Senator Morton had a long interview to-day with the President concerning the currency, and aiter- wards he called upon the Secretary of the Treasury On the same subject, Mr. Morton is of opiaion that the South and West require more currency, and he contends they must have it {u order to answer their business requirements. He urged these views upon the President and Secretary Boutwell, and it is understood that both of them approved of his opinion, It is stated that Secretary Boutwell recom- mend in his report a larger supply of currency to the Sonth and West. Bonds Purchased by Secretary Bontwel!, Assistant Secretary Richardson, Virst Comptroller Taylor and First Auditor Sinith were to-day engaged in counting all the bonds purchased by Secretary Boutwell. Upto November $17,844,500 had been purchased on account of the sinking fund, and $45,000,000 as special purchase, subject to the future action of Congress. ‘The Georgia State Fair Governor Bullock has ordered tne specixl train provided by the State of Georgia to convey invited muests to the State Fair to be m readiness to leave Lynchburg for Macon Saturday evening, the 13th inst.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP, New York to Recede from Ita Ratificuiion of the Fifteenth Amendment~Views of Repub. licans and Democrats ou the Right to Po SomAbsiract o} the Friends’ Report on the Indian Qu on™ What Dhey Recommend as Necessary Remedies. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 18¢9, The overwhelming democratic victory in New York State and the good working majority secured mm the Legisiature have again revived the knotty question of the power of a State to recede from its assent to an amendment to the United States consti- tution while yet such amendment has not received the ratification of three-fourths of the States of te Union. The Legisiature of your State has already Fatidea the fifteenth amendment, and Goveraor Hoffman bas certified that fact by an ofl- cial communication to the State Department, The point now raised 1s whether the State of New York bas consummated its action on the amend- ment by the fact of ratification and a formal cert.f- cation of the fact to the central government, or Whother the Legislature to meet next January will have the power to undo the action of its predecea- sor and recall the ratification troin the hands of the Secretary of State. Republican politicians generally hold that New York has lost its control over the subject; that it was called upon to perform an afirmative act, and lias done so, and that whatever right it might have had to recede—a right which they gay is extremely doubtful wader any circum stances—has been lost by the action of Governor Hoffman in transmitting to the Secretary of State a certification of the ratification, That act, they contend, stops the next or any fature Leyisla. ture of the State from receding. The democrats hold an entirely opposite givuna on the subject. They argue wat unul the requiced number of State legislatures shall ave asseaied to the amendment any legislature which may have ratified it Is ut liberty to recede, even though tne Secretary of state may have been nowlled ay required by law. They say that no one doubts the power of a legisiature to ratify, even though Its predecessor may have re- fused to raufy., If then a subsequent legislature May upset tue nogative action of 1s predecessor, why may it not aiso past tae adirmative action? The rule, they cou (I, Ouglit to work both ways, Ohio, with @ democratic Legislature, repudiated (he ‘Miteenth amendment, but toe next Lewisiaiure of that State, which is repabiioan, wilt undoubtedly ratify the amendment, And, say the democrats, the ad- qnistration Will not deny tie aucuority of We next {@bio Legisiature to take this step.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 1869, 129.—Woodruff, et al, vs. Parham, Collector— Error to the Supreme Court of Alabama,—The plain- tits are merchants in Alabama and import into unat State merchandise from other States of the Union, which they seil in the original packages and claim they are not subject to the tax Imposed by the State of Alabama on the gross proceeds of all eaces made in the State, belng protected by that clause of thé federal constitunon which prohibits the States from levying any imposts on imports and exports. The Supreme Court of Alabama held the tax to be valid and the case was brought here on writ of error. Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opinion of the court firming the judgment beiow; holding that the provision of the constitution relied upon by the pisints8 was intended to apply only to imports whd exsdrts” from foreign countries, and that a State bas the power to tax the sales of all goods imported from the different States, provided the tax does not discriminate as against such goods, but is general in its character, applying as well to similar productions of the State laying the tax. If lila Were not the case, say the court, then persons of large wealth trading in the cities of the Union o8 importers of merchandise from the different States would be whgily relieved from any contribution toward ne expense of sustaining the local govera- ment whose laws protect them. Mr, Justice Nelson Misaented, holding the established interpretation of the ciause of the constitation in question as fixed by the construction of Mr. Chiet Justice Mars) Mr. Chief Justice Taney and Mr. Justice Strong muintained that it applicd as well to inter-State commerce as to foreign imports and exports; besides it was expressly provided by the constitution that Congress stiould regulate commerce among the several States as well as the foreign commerce of the country, The dissenting opinion then proceeded to show at length that by the opinion of we court just deliveret, the imports and exports to and from tue different Etates were left to the unrestricted tax- ation of thestates, even to the utter destruction of such trade, New York could, without discrtmina- ton in favor of ber own citizens, proceed to tax the vodctions of Pennsylvania to an un)timited extent, because the people of New York Foci little or ho coal; so the State of Petnaylvania, without discrimi- nation in favor of her own people ,couid tax the gait of New York to any extent. So in like manner as to the cotton, rice ana sugar of the South, they could be made the basis of burdensome taxation at the North without eg to the people of those States, and vice verse as to the produotions of the North whon taken Souti, The rule laid down, therefore, as to discrimination failed, and there was no barrier leit to protect commerce between the States from injurious Local taxation, Hinwon vs Lit Collector.—This was a similar case, and was decided on the main potuts by te ¢ cision m the foregoing case. 1t was also considerc in the dissenting opinion, The Steamer Carrol, Belonging to the Balttinore and Ohio Rattroad Company, Claimant, Jonn Green.—Appeal from the Circuit Court Jur the Dise trict of Marviand.—This was @ case of collision in Ne the eee Bay in December, 1545.

The schooner was stink and becanie a total loss, and the owner libélled the steamer. The decree below austamed tie lrbel, and the ratiroad company brought the case here, Mr. Justice Davis deuvered the opinion of tho court, afirming the decree below, remarking that the only diftewlty found yy «the court was in the consideration of the conticting testimony; but the — tyatn 1) facts were plain, and these condemned the course of the steamer.

Trell Gate, full of the old associations of terror, proved a bugbear yesterday to the quiet denizens of Astoria. No emailer sensation than an earthquake was announced, and as many of the gentie folks who enjoy the quiet and blesseduess of rural life in this favored part of Long Island objected to being swallowed up by any freak of nature, science or art, much anxiety Was felt throughout the adjoming districts and precautions for salety were at once taken, Nine o’clock was announced as the hour when the shock might be expected, and ag the hands on the dial told the ap- proach of the fatal moment hunareds of human organising twitched with painful nervous ness and endured an indedinite variety of alternations trom hope to fear and fear to hope, Taking time by the forelock, a number of ladies deserted their luxurious suburpan villas ou the banks of the East river aud took up @ less advanced position relatively to the polat of danger.

That ; there 1s a strike, and quite an extensive one, of the | brakemen of the freight trains on the eastern divi- sion, 13 fully ue, and what is the true state of the | case at present may be gathered from the followlig statements of both the oilicers of the road at the Jersey City depot as well as of the men on strike at j Port Jervis, The two statements, a8 will be seen, | vary considerably and contradict each other in | several tmportant points, but that.of the men 1s £0 | full and so circuwstantial aud backed by particular facts, that it at least looks credible, while the officers | confiped themselves to mere general denials. | VHAT THH OFFICERS SAY, i On application to the superiniendent at the Jersey City depot of the Erie Rallroad, Mr. Henderson, he said that there was no cause whatever for the strike, that the arrangement made with the brakemen last } time as to wages was fully carmed out by the com- pany, and two doilars per day have regularly heen patd ever since; that there was no intention of re- duelng the pay and witndrawing from the arrange. ment then made, though it was convemplated to en+ gage a few cheap “gangs; that one of the mest mutinous of the brakemen at Port Jervis hod lately | been discharged, and that it was the firm resolution of the company not to take him back; that the men, on Sunday morning, assembled ia their Lodge, or | meeting room at Port Jervis, and resolved to quit work; that no notice of their intention to strike had been communicated to the com- pany, nor did the men lay any of thelr alleged griev- ances before the officers of the road, with a view to ; have them remeated; that when asked tnetr reason | for the strike the officers were bluntly told to come | before the meeting and there they would be informed; that tne whole number out Is between 275 and 800; that the paymaster of the company had gone out to Port Jervis on Sunday night to pay off the men, and that up to six o'clock last evening only elghty-elght of the strikers had applied foc aud received ther wages due up to Sunday, the balance not coming } forward to yet their money, which Jact, in the opinion of Mr. Henderson, showed & desire on their part to return to work; but that, so far as he was informed, the company would aot again employ a | siogle man of those on strike, In regard to the force sent out from here and Jersey City, Mr. Henderson states that at ten o'clock on Sunday night the company despatehed, on a special train, a squad of eighty men from New | ork, probabiy not of the gentiest kind of the city’s inbabitants, armed wils revolvers, not to. provoke @ coilision, but as a guard to protect the property of the compan, lat with them went forty special deputy sheriiis for the same purpose, and about twenty-five new hands to be cimployed as brakemen, On che express train, which left aia quarter past ten yesterday moralng, another squad of forty-five newly Ca eS brakemen went out, and with the quarter to five f train flity new empiovés were again forwarded to Port Jervis.

In fact they elaim that the train despatcher at this ce Mas made the assertion that he intended to ave & new set of Men as B00n ag possible, On this pasia, they held a meeting Wednesday evening last, with KE. D. Ra- hilly, chairman, and thus decided that unless the company would reinstate the men, and pay fail price to all the men, they would sirlke. This the company refused to do, dud on Sunday the men re- fused to go out. ‘The ather side of the story puts a different aspect on the aifair. I conversed tia afternoon with Mr. Jey Gould and other oficers of the road and gained this information;—They say that the men who were discharged were the ringleaders in the other strike and that the company did not want them. That they bad put on a few new ange of men, and that of course they did not consider thein worth as mucn as experienced men, and they were hired for $1 76 per day, Mr, Gould juformed me that he had brought up about 100 men from New York, and that there Was nothing to prevent the regular runnin; the trains. He had a despatch from Buffalo stating thag he could get 100 men from there, and he satd \aat he had no doubt they could get 500 men Jor every 100 that wag needed, THE NEW FORCE that came up from New yore were a pretty hard looklng crowd, such a3 you sce “repeating” on elec- tion day in the Tenth ward. They did not like the job so well after they arrived here and many of them took the first opportunity to slip off to the city. Sixteen of them went back to New York on the two o'clock train thia afternoon, The reat felt a little nervous, although they are said to be well armed and prepared to fight in case there should be any disturbance. ‘The strikers have given out that they do not intend to interfere with auy meu who choose to work for the company, but they are firm in thetr determina- Hon not to work until their demands are complied re ‘They have hired a ball and are holding meet- ut8 About every tree hours.

If that reality were anywhere realized is was on t Union grounds, where the Atlantic: and Eckfords obliged the Atlantica to mest them on the Union grounds, and, to see the home and bome game, there assombied at tho grounds a crowd of spectators remarkably, large, considering the unpropitious weather.
