COLLECTOR MURPHY. What He Has to Say About the Collectorship. ‘His Views Regarding the Republican Party and Benator Fenton—The Boss and Tammany Hall in Connection With the Re. ception of the Irish Exile: Arumor having been circulated to the effect that Collector Murphy was about to resign bis post at the Castom House a HERALD reporter called en Satar- @ay evening at his private residence in order to ascertain whether the report was founded on fact. Mr. Murphy is a gentleman of genial presence and affable manners, but he ts usually bound by official Propriety to reticence, Stlll there are occasions ‘when for an hour or so he casts off the restraint en- forced by his position and thaws Into verbal fuency, ‘The writer on Saturday night was fortunate enough $0 Gnd him in one of these ay > OomMUNICATIVE Moons, ‘and the interview ranged over a wide fleld of politi- cal and social topics, including the past and present prospects of the repablican party, the stability of the administration, the brilllant record of General Grant, the disastrous effects of the Fenton revolt, ‘the strenuous efforts of Tammany politicians to reduce the Irish exiles vo amore degrading captivity than that from which they have been released, ‘and the merits, from a Custom House standpoint, of Hennessey’s Three-star Battle-Axe Brandy, “Is there any truth, Mr. Murphy,” began the re- Dorter, ‘in your rumored resignation?” “None that I know of,” responded the Collector, with acomplacent smile. “The first iatimation 1 have had of itis in what you just said. I suppose a man can’t very well resign without knowing it him- sclf. That 1s not the only misrepresentation that my frends (with a bitter smile) have circulated about me during the past few days. Boss Tweed, Hank Smith and their crowd must feel pretty badly burt at what 1 have lately done, or they woulau’t try se hard to DRIVE ME FROM THE COLLECTORSHIP. As my friend Tom Creamer said once, on a similar ‘oceasion, “They must have got fits, or they wouldu’t ‘Squeal 80 badly.’ “There is no dimeuity, then, between you and the Treasury Department?" “Noné whatever.” “There 1s 10 fear, elther, that these people will suc- eed in driving you from'otfice 1” “Of course they can do it after they have elected poo T. Hoffman President of the United States, it their stock Just now 18 not at a high premium at the White Hoase, and tous the prospects of the Fepublican party may not so briluant as they ve been, Iam going to do all I can to promote the it interests of the country, which can only bée one by keeping the repubiican party in power."? “You don’t think, Mr. Murpuy, tuat the republican v is as strong as it was??? “Well, not in this State, atany rate, Ill tell you what. I believe the orgamization of the republican party bas been demoraiized and vebased by DEMOCRATIC MONEY, Tammany greenbacks have corrupted some of e: Jeaders and have sown treachery 1n our ranks, Ju Jook at the management of republican aairs inthis State for the past three or four years, It benrs the luupress on Its face of internal treason. It 1s plain @s day that we have beea sold out agan and again by a pirchased faction, What is vitally necessary to insure the success of the party, especially in this city, is to have a change of men—that the men who Bre growing fat on Tammany pay should he iatd ‘aside and now and pure men brought to the front.” jut how about this attempt to displace you #? Pi tell youwhat. know that there 1s dn. ORGANIZED CONSPIRACY ‘to-day to drive me from my pr t post. Itell you that's so’ (warming up with the supject). “Tam- Many Hall is giving money to Tammany républicans to work t me In Washington; and I am not afraid to tell you also the names of the men who, @ccording to my information, head this plot. The Jeading traitor ts Jolin V. Gridley, and he is aided Se photian by the discharged postmaster of Albany, ther with some others of equal standing in the party. Of course while THEY STRIKE AT MB, their real object is to weaken the existing admin. istration and defeat the re-election of the noble gol- dier who 18 at its head.” “Do you think, Mr. Murphy, that Fenton has a guilty know.edge of thts conspiracy against you?” “I wouldn't like to say that he has. And I want to say this, too. Ihave no personal feelings what- ever against Senator Fenton, I am true to the party, end J will march shoulder to shoulder even with & A PERSONAL ENEMY in fghting in the republican ranks. The interests of tue party are superior with me to any private feelings and personalities, But I do know, from the Dest authority, that the leading men of the demo- cratic party Nave said that they intended to place Senator Fenton again in the control of the repnvti- ean party of the State, and further, tnat I shoula Bot where lam three months longer. 1 don’t personally care if they succeed in removing me, | only remain where I am TO SERVE MY COUNTRY through my party. Personally and pecuniarily the Coliectorsuip is a disadvantage tome.

An emiment Du-<iness man and one of our largest importers told me the other day that the Custom House has never been before so well administered.” “Then your optuion, Mr. Collector, is that Senator Fenton is piaying into the hands of the democraue arty 1”? “Tam not quite sure of that. All I can say, though, is that his republican trieuds keep very bad company.” «Woat do you think, Mr. Murphy, about the reso- Tation introduced by shoo-fly Cox ‘in Congress, re- garding the transfer of the general order business the forelan steamship companies ?’? “such a resolution Can Only emanate from aman Whois the author of the bovk entilied ‘Buckeye Abroad.’ “There has been an article in one of the dally papers about your connection with the Fenian re ceplion—about your spoiling the whole demonstra- ton!” “Well, I'll tell you just what my connection with this reception has been.

Well, this young man asked me Whether I could render any facilities to some per- Sonal friends and fellow suderers in order to enable them to meet the exiles in a convenient manner on their arrival at this port. I asked him to explain What he woulil like to have me do. He said he ‘Wished that 1 should take them down in one oi my cutters in order to give ine an opportunity to Ww come the exiles to this land of iiperty, and te co gravulate them on their Lappy deitverance from the YOKE OF BRITISH TYRANNY.

GROWING MOVEMENT IN THE MARKET. Improved Prospscts—The Relation of tho Up- Town Transit Scheme—Influenco of the Gov- ernor's Views—Long Jsland Lands—jhoir Value in the Judgment of an Expert— Large Transfer of Rast Side City Lots, Zz Satter THR FEATURES OF THR PAST WEEK. ‘The operations in real estate during the past week farnish important corroborative evidence in more than one respect of the truth of what was said here on Monday last as to the tendency of real estate values and the toterest felt in the current and prospective movements in the market, The large attendance at the sale of the Cram estate on Wednesday suff. ciently attest the latter fact, while the high prices obtained give equal proof of the correctness of the former assumption, With this exception the deal- ings in the public market were on a restricted scale, consisting mostly of small parcels. A sale of Brook- lyn property occurred which did not result with much encouragement for the immediate future of the market there, The exhibit made in Mayor Kalbfleisch’s message concerning taxes, and the de- termination to collect assessments for improvements in one amount, have operated to check activity in real estate in Brooklyn city. The office dealings 1n real estate in this city and neighborhood were, during the weck, on an ex- tended scale, and very decided inceptive sigus of the great spring movement in the market, which may be looked for about the lst of February, could be found in the ingutry at the various offices both for improved and unimproved property 1h particular localities, as weli as in the presence in Pine and Cedar streets of well known real estate magnates, evidently preparing to share in the EXPECTED RENEWAL OP ACTIVE SPECULATION. The time 1s certainly favorable to such a tarn in the market. In the interval which has passed from the last perfod of excitement great and valuable 1m provements have been made in various parts of the istand in the way of opening new streets and boule- vards and extending the area of the watered and lighted district. Then the uncertainty respecting the solution of the rapid transit problem, with the well known pressure to be exercised in pushing some scheme through the Legislavare, together wich the proposed annexation of Westchester county, seem to offer the precise oon- ditions wanted to provoke or stimulate speculative dealings. Taken in connection ts the fact that money now (a@ period of artificial stringency ex- cepted) is very plenty here, and that a powerful bear clique in Wall street are making extraordinary efforts and directing the strongest energies in an a‘tack upon all railroad and stock values, Should they succeed even to the extent of frightening small capitalists from the street, unis will bring to the real estate market strong support in speculative move- ments, The up town transit problem, in the very muddied state in which it seems to be, is likely to introduce another element of uncertainty concern- ing future vaiues, which, with the multiplicity of “points” sure to be confidentially given, is calcu- lated still nore to excite speculative activity, GOVERNOR HOFFMAN’ VIEWS on this matter. if carried out, are certain to ald much lu producing this result. It is doubtful, Bow- ever, 1’, outside of this speculative iraternity, pro- perty owners im general would approve of his method of proceeding. The Governor, i¢ will be zemembered, gave a strong endorsement in his message to that plan wach proposes “an elevated Tailway on solid masonry through the blocks.’’ Mayor Hall subsequenuly gave utterance to the fol- lowing Objections to this scheme:—“The project | amouuts to almost @ total confiscation of property near the biocks, and if the damage were correctly estimated by commissioners, periaps the expense wouid be found to be enormozs aud unparaileled in the history of enterprises.” in answer to tuis the Governer explains in an in- terview whicu appeared in yesterday’s HERALD, and from which we quote:—“The expense of the road would not he $0 much in the construction of it aa it would in the purchase of we property through which 1t would be ruu,” and proposes to euchre the property owners interested for the benefit of the corporators thus: “The way to get the best of this ditficulty with property owners would be tor thoxe Who propose tw run the road to buy up what- ever parts of blocks they would desire to run ‘Ubrouga, without, wheu they make their purchases, ieting the Owners kuow but they were baying the houses tobe used a8 dweilings.

Otherwise the mid-winter dulness prevailed tu general trade. IN WALL STREET the chief events of the week have been the relaxa- tion in money and the buoyancy and advance in Prices at the Stock Exchange, The early course of the money market was signalized by activity, if not stringency, under the sudden withdrawal of abotit 1x millions of le; tenders from circulation by the locking up process, And for & brief period loans on call commanded 1-32 @ 1-16 per cent in addition bo.thg rate. The movement of money to this centre from thé reral districts was so large, however, that the gap thus made was soon filled and at the close money was easy at six per cent, with exceptional transactions on prime sccurities at five per cont. * . The stock market prémptly responded to thia altered situat‘on of the money market and a strong bullish feeling was developed, which led to a sharp Improvement 1n all the leading railway and miscel- Janeons shares, In fact the speculation for a rise was encouraged (a8 it always ia) by the knowledge that a ilarge short interest existed {i Connection with the locking up of greenbacks. The rise m the principal daily favorites was about 2 @ 8 per cent; but in two in- stances—Union Pacific and Hannibal and St. Jo- soph—It reached 10 per cent, while in the preferred shares of the latter road the advance upon the low- est price of the week was all of 11 per cent, The high. est prices of the rise were made about noon of Satur- day, but after that time a reaction ensued both upon the unfavorable statement of the banks and upon a “break” in Reading, attributed to the failure of a weak operator, who had ordered the purchase of a heavy instalment of the stock, to carry which he had not taken care to provide sufficient capital.

During the last few seconds of the totality the thin cloud covering the sun became nearly dissipated, and the faint con- Unuous spectrum of the corona which I saw at bes Moines became visibie, but before I had tune to ex- amine tt the totality was over. Notwithstanding the evidence of the chrononometer,.) could scarcely pe- lieve that It had lasted 105 seconds. It seemed to me but a moment, and I felt far irom satisfied with what I had accompiished, The high wind and the thin clond over the San Placed me at a great disadvantage, and prevented ine Irom doing much that would haye been within | my grasp under more favorable circumstances, Suil, I think the observations prove beyond ail nestion that the corona dues belong to the Sun; that it isto @ great degres, if not entirely, self lunnnous, and that its Iglt does give a green line ataoout 1,474 divisions of Kirchhow’s scale, thus coufirming the discovery made tadependenily by myself and Professor Young during the eclipse of August, 1869.

The in- ercased number of miles operated by several promi- nent lines at the close of the year 1870 may be secn in the following tavle:-— Dev. 1870. Dec.1869, Miles. Miles, Central Pacific... 742 Chicago and Alton. 431 Illinois Central... 974 Milwaukee and St. Paul 936 Ohto and Mississippf... 840 St, Louls, Alton and Terre Haute. ~ Bip If the expenses of operating newly pene lines, or branches, were always equal to those of the older portion ot a road, then Ce cernings should show an increase proportiot ig gous in- creased mileage, to place the company in an equally ood condition; but as the operat! expenses on ranches jaat opened, with tow waice running, ar ings 18 not to be expected. of we year’s work on the roads named pay be seen in the table following:-— t We ahtae Nha SBOE Central 87, Chtengo an ‘Cia, ead Vin, an \inois Cent ee Hingaceaual Mich!
