JHE CUSTOM HOUSE COMMITTEE, other Exposure of the Political Strategy of Mr. Murphy’s Custom House Ring. How a Minority Faction Has Been Supported by All the Patronage of the Admiuistration. MORE ABOUT SEIZURES The Deputy Collector, Having Charge otf the Department, Himself Sharing the Proceeds of Forfeiture. ‘Moral Proof of Corruption and Oppression. The Custom House Committee met agatu yester- day morning, at the Astor House, at ten o'clock. Although they again held a long session more than two-thirds of it was consumed in the examination of the same Custom House offictal, Deputy Col- lector Clark, who occupied the stand during the whole of Saturday and a great part of Friday. Of course, the testimony was very largely a repetition ef fasts already brought out in the previous ex- aminations, but the evidence in regard to seizures contained a few points of interest,especially as the questions necessarily touched Mr, Clark’s personal character and practices. Having acknowledged that he nad sometimes received ashare or propor- tionate share as informer, the witness was qhes tioned as follows:— Q. What isthe principle of division wnen there 4g more than one informer ina case? A. The pro- ceeds of the part of the seizure appropriated as the informers’ reward are divided equally among the claimants; there are sometimes cases where thero are disputed claims of informers in the same case; an such cases either the Court or the Secretary of ‘the Treasury decides the case; in all cases where I have had any interest in the reward my name either @ppears on the record or is Mot mentioned. Q. Why should you, g ‘public officer, | have any share in a reward and your name not appear en the record? A. use @ number of men were inter- ested in $h6 reward, and it was determined by mutual, “agreement that one man should appear as stag. informer, receive the reward and subsequently ‘Aivide the results as had previously been arranged by private agreement. Q. Why should such an arrangement be mado? A. It was a matier of no difference to the govern. mont whether it paid the reward to one man or ten men. Q. In all cases where your name docs appear @ the record there have been one or more other par- ties entitled toa share in the reward? A. Yes, str; there is a distinction sometimes avout tne value of Particular facts in a case of information; if tho mames of two men appear upon the record the reward must be equally divided aming them, but if only one name appears there when there are other anformers the division 1s regulated by private ar- rangoment. Q. What proportion of cases of seizure pass through your bureau? A. Ali of them, in some stage or other, Q. How extensive was the class of cases in which your name appears upon the record as entitled to a share in the reward forseizures? A. Perhaps one per cent; 1 don’t know exactly; the record will show thal; there are cases im which I am mentioned on the recora, but I scarcely kuow whether they are aumerous enough to form a class. Q. 1 think it surprising that you should be unable toname the number of cases tn which you hada direct personal interest. Can you say how many eases there were in which you had an interest though your name did not appear upon the record? A. Ican say that 10 is but a very small proportion of the entire number of seizures, Q. Suppose that your office, instead of being held by you, were filled by a rapacious and unscrupulous mau; wnat are the checks against gross abuses? A, t Nuppase there mignt be abuses. Q. Especially as all parties interested in seizures have @ direct interest in concillating you as the Deputy Collector, through whose hands the claims must pass, and as, further, you are allowed py the government to receive by private arrangement a share uf the proceeds of seizures? A. I suppose so. Q In cases of small seizures are the artic) Ire. quently returned to the claimanis’ A, Yes, sir; ‘very frequently. Q. Don’t you think that these small seizures, with she power vested in the hands of subordinate oRivers, are lable to gross abuses? A, I think there ts @ Possibility Of great abuses, out the government would lose @ great deal of revenue if the system ‘were abolished. Q Is there any appeal in these cases of small seizures trom the decision of the Collector? A. To the Secretary of the ‘Ireasury; any party bas a right to a trial by jury if he consent: 2 give a bond that he will pay all the expenses of the suit tn event of a decision against him; J don’t think thatthe num- der of cases of pilfering from this class of goods 1s very large. Hi joa ticorge H. Van Cleft sworn—Am 4 city surveyor; formerly was civil engineer at the Brookiya Navy Yard; here is my commission (showing it): I was Suspended about the 27th of October, 1870, but ve order Was served avout the 1st of November; there ‘was never any complaint against me in regard to the performance of my duties; on the contrary, I Mave a letter from my official chiet, 8. W. Burdon, *wouching for my good conduct. Q What was your first intimation that you were ‘to be discharged, and irom whom? A. Tue first I -heard of it was a rumor, in September, that I was “to be moved to Boston; within a day or so afterward I went to Washington and saw Commodore Ammen, the chief of my department; he imiormed me that I need have no feat, as no removals or transfers Would be made without his consent; within two ‘weeks {rom that time a friend of mine tol le that ‘Mr. Thomas Murphy had informed him that the ‘Tresident had suspended me at his oe ny’s) re- juest; I immediately telegraphed to Mr, Murphy at ng Branch, telling him that certain’ statements out me which had been circulated were false; next day i was sent for vy Mr. Murphy; Mr. Murphy told me that he had received my telegram at the President’s cottage, where he hi aoe to be; the telegram was read aloud, and the Prest- dent asked whether he (Murphy) wanted me re- tained or removed; Murphy told me that he then wepited to the President to let the matter go over for the present, and the President then said that he would revoke the previous order for my removal; in our conversation Mr. Murphy told me he had been informed that I was 0; to the aaminis- tration, and that I had said that for every man he ut into the Custom House I would put three in the javy Yard; I assured him that botn statements ‘were false, and ne replied by saying that he was the representative of the administration in New York, and tuat if we would work ether there would ve no troubie; I saw Mr. Murphy again shortly afterwards, aud the question of the delegates to the Saratoga State Convenuon was discussed; Mr. Murphy sata be hoped, as_ we lived in the same district, that we should not have any contest about the delegation; he proposed that I should name one and he should name one, while the third should be agreed upon between us; I replied that if he would name the thira gentieman he proposed to have I would decide whether 1 could accept the proposi- tion; finally, having thought over the name he pro- , 1 consented; the name he proposed was ulus F, Andrews; he named on his side, General Arthur, and | named Mr. Rightmeyer; subsequentiy Mr. Murphy asked me whom I U ht Mr. Right. meyer would favor for Governor; Tf replied ‘nat J thought Mr. Greeley; the Collector then sau he would like to see him; he did see him and at the interview offered him a place— watchman or something of that kind—in the Cus- tom House; Rigbtmeyer did not give up bis busi- ne vhough he took the place; I con't know wirether he performed the duties of his office or not; after the State Convention there came the County Convention, and the subject came up be- tween Mr, Murphy and myself; we divered about the dolegate, and at the primaries there was @ sharp contest hetwecn the Custom House ticket, headed by Murphy, and another ticket, headed by mveeif; my side polied considerably over two tune dred votes and the Murphy ticket polled only eighty- tree; Mr, Murphy and General Arthur were both in the room that evening; Mi jurphy stepped up to one of the inspectors and informed = tim that it would worth a gool deal to carry that primary; I afterwards heard that Mr. Murphy bad authorized another geniieman to give this inspector $500 to do what he could to carry that primary; there were a good many Custom House oniciais there, many of whoin Were hot even restients of the city, much jess of the district; Mr. Murphy said that night that be would have me re- moved before Saturiay; within ten davs after the rimary 1 heard that 1 was to be removed, and that here Was a consultation in the Custom Louse as to who should have my place; | went that evening ‘tw Washington and saw Commodore Ammen again ‘Who again assured me that I should not be removs ‘Without his advice being asked in the matier; ommodore Ammen volunteered to go with me to the President; when we got to the “ulte flouse we were told that the President was particuluriy engaged; the Commodore could not wait, but 5 NEW YORK HERALD.

Then this whole business was transacted by Mir, Murphy not only tn the spirit of party politics, but in the spirit of party ities within a party? A. Yes, sir; 1 know other cases in which simuarly arbitrary removals tor pulltical causes have been Mr. Cushman was removed from t of gauger; also in my own = district Mr. Coupant from the Ap- praisers’ Department; Mr. Coupant had been here many years; Mr. Rightmeyer held his office until some twelve or fifteen days after the County Convention; tn my own district a number of gentle- men who held smalier positions as clerks were also removed: Lsupposed at the time that in all these cases the cause of removal was political, and I have never heard of any other reason being ed; 1 went to the convention of 1871; there were @ great many people there who were in the Custom House and who were busily at work tn the interest of the faction to which they velong; I have no doubt that they controlled the convention; my present office is not one with a salary; 11 depends upoa fees for ac- tual performance of duties; wicnin the seven or eight years that I have held alicense of this kind my total fees would pe about three thousand doliars from the city government. Q How men were there employed in the Navy Yard just’ before the election of 1870¥ A, About three thousand men; the number increased as the election drew near; I should think that per- haps where were, on the 1st November, 500 more men at work than on the 1st September; | am not able to speak as to whether there was any increase ot work; there was no increase either of force or of workin my department; there was a list of seventy-five men sent me from Brooklyn, with @ request to me to put these men to work; this was three days before my removal: I aid not put them to work; the gentlemen who brought the iis: tola me that the Secretary o1 tne Navy wished me to do as they desired; I left the Navy Yard on the Friday before the Tuesday of election. Mr, Howe then took the witness in hand, and questioned him at tedious length in regard to vari- ous passages in the 7ridune and the affairs of the Young Democracy. Of course Mr. Van Cleft could say very little about this, as he had no connection tn any Way with that journal. fe explained, how- ever, the nature of the contest in 1870 between Hall and Ledwith, and said that he and others thon,nt it was not the business of the republican party to consider whether their action would or would not nab Tammany Hall, pus to make Nair ritoprwor trus honesty and integrity of the ie. te Sieeting oft e General Committee just before the elecuon the Murphy wing were aten and bolted. ‘fhe Committee then adjourned until ten o’clock FINANCIAL AND COMM GROIAL, WALL STREET, } Monpay, Jan. 16-6.

The stock market Opened strong with an active movement in Northwest common, which advanced to 73 in sympathy with & sudden rise to 95 in the preferred shares, The latter advance was due toa small “corner’’ on the American agents of Myn- heer Van Koopmanschoopf, the eminent banker of Amsterdam, who, it seems, gave orders by cable 10 sell the Northwest preferred stock which he bought so liberally last summer, as our readers may Provably remember. The agents sold it “regular’? inetead of for future delivery, expecting to borrow the stock until the arrival of the steamer, The stock originally borrowed had to be returned to- day, and as the ocean mails were not In by noon me agents had to resort to borrowing once more; but the clique in the stock made the shares acarce and compelled the borrowers to pay as high ag 1 per cent for the use of the certificates over night, while among the outside “bears”? % per cent was a gene eral rate.

The Albany Journal says that next season the New York Central Railroad will lay down a third track the entire iength of thetr line, Since the clos- ing of the canals the management of the road find it quite impossible to forward the freight entrusted to ihem with despatch, and not interrupt passen- ger travel. So much diMculty of the kind has never before been expertenced, At Syracuse it 1s pro- posed to run the freight cars around the city on the north side, across the head of Onondaga Lake to Geddes, connecting there with the main line again. ‘The earnings of the Chicago and Northwestern Raliroad for the past year were as foliows:— 1870. 1871. $ aT January. $796,024 753,782 February Maren. 929,077 1,177,897 Jpisd,se 09492 3,927,512 7 : 259,282 December.
