THE SILK FRAUDS. COLLECTOR ARTHUR DENIZ8 HE GAVE MR. CLAFLIN PERMISSION TO BUY SMUGGLED GOODS EXCEPT AT PUBLIC AUCTION. A HERALD reporter yesterday called on Collector Arthur, at the Custom Honse, with @ view to as- certaining exactly the extent of nis sanction to Mr. H. B, Clafiiu in the parchasing of smuggled siiks and laces. In an interview with a HeraLp reporter on the previous day, Mr. Claflin statea that the Collector had said be could see no reason | why Mr, Claflin should not purchase these goods, The Collector stated yesterday that Mr. Claf- lin’s answer to the reporter was not sudiciently compreheffaive of the entire conversation between them on the subject of the smuggling. The con- — Versation between himself and Mr. Uladin was mainly relative to the necessity there was for the detection of the guilty parties, Mr. Claflin com- » Diaiuing bitterly of losses he was sustaining in consequence of the illegal traMlic, The discussion between them touched naturally upon the auction sales of these goods, then being extensively advertised, and on Mr. Ciaflin asking the question, “ What was he to do avout it?’ the Collector replied that he could see nothing wrong at that time in Mr. Clafin making pur- chases at the public auction sales, The Collector further stated to the reporter that he bad then no knowledge whatever of any private sales of such goods, nor hud he any suspicion that sales of smuggled goods were being made to any merchant in the city other than those made at public auc- tion, The idea of his violating bis duty as Collector of the Port by assuming to give Mr. Claflin or any other merchant the privilege of purchasing pri- vately goods smuggled into the port ot New York ‘Was simpy preposterous. From the ten ft the conversation between himself and Mr. C! suca inierence could be draw! At toe same time Mr. Claflin had promised to use his best endeavors in aiding in the discovery of the smugglers, and he did wid ail alons, He employed tue same officer a3 was employed by tne Custom House, aud workea zealously to unearta the fraud. hole matter was now almost en- Ureiy in the hands of tne District Atcorney.

Mrs. Tilton Writing a Book for | | the Press. ; It 18 repeatedly asked if Plymouth church will be apt to retain its prestige and popularity should the jury return a verdict of guuty | against Mr, Beecher, A member of Dr, Storrs’ | church, in Brooklyn, attempted the solution of this problem yesterday by saying that “ Piym- | outnh church will run along just as ever, even | if Mr, Beecher be found guilry, for about three | or four months, By that time the recoil of pub- | le sentiment will have begun to make itself felt, All the otler Congregational churches of the country will have disfellowsahipped it. 1t it will stand alone, a pariah among the Christian churches of the land, ‘Then one or two men like Qiaflin or Storts or Sage will drop away from it, Examples of this kind are always con- | tagious, Other reputabie men will follow, The women will stick longest to Beecher, 1|t1s women mostly who bave lately joined bis church.

Asa curiosity he Will continue to draw as long as he lives.’ Such were the ideas thrown out, On this point Opinions varv, though the one just given has a good deul of reason in it; yet there are many who insist that the Plymouth me:nbers have made up their miuds in regard to their Idol, aud a verdict of guilty will have no influence on them one way or the other. There has certainly been great de- votion shown to Mr, Beecaer by his congregation, and it will be an unexampled instance of attach- ment 1f, with all the world arrayed tn senti ment against him, they shouid stlil cling to | the fortunes of their pastor.

THE TEMPLH EMANUEL. ITS PRESENT CONDITION FINANCIALLY AND SPIRITUALLY —ANNUAL MEETING LAST WEEK. The Jewish Tempie Em nuel, on Fifth avenue aud Forty-third street, is the largest of ite kind im this city and in the United States. Its congre- gation is the wealthiest in this country, both ta- dividually and collectively, and its real estate 18 more Valuable than that of any similar corpora- tion; but in this last item the Portuguese syna- goaue, in Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue, Is nearly its equal, for it owns certain city property im addition to the synagogue building, but It is financially weaker than the Temple, having fewer members, and its seats represent a smailer value. Despite any ovjection that can be offered as to its wrcbitectural features, the Temple is the most imposing Jewish house of worship in the couotry, being one of the sights that every inteiligect stranger coming to New York must see ifhe wants to form 4 proper sceqoaint ance with local celeoriti It occupies @ commanding position on filth avenue, and its towers are conspicuous from almost every point on that fashionabie thoroughiare and | from the steamers on the Hudson and East Rivers. | The interior, thongu remarkably impressive, is acoustically defective; but recently the congroga- tion have placedalarge sounding board, some- thing ike a mainmotn oyster sneil, at the back of the preacher.

Yesterday the suinmer exodus began in earnest, and tne steamers left ladea with passengers, The Rhein, of the Bremen line, carried 186 cabin pas- sengers and 221 in the steerage—total, 407; the Cly of Berlin, of the Inman line, 140 cabin and 150 steerage—total, 290; the Amérique, despite her unfortunate pasi, took out 230 cabin and 7% steerage passengers—total, 300; the Cunard sieamer Algeria, 220 cabin and 70 steerage— total, 290; the England, of the Nationa! line, had 90 cabin and 200 steerage—total 290; and the White Star steamer Celtic 100 cabin and 215 steerage—total 315, These six steamers carried out 1,892 passengers, and those of the Utopia, of the Anchor line, and Colombo, of Wu. son’s line, and the other steamers, swell the num- ber to close upon 2,600, This, although it does not equal the corresponding exodus in 1873 at the same season, 18 certainly a good beginning. The huge Hamburg steamers and those of the Rotter- dam line ieave every Thursday, while those of the Williams & Guiom and the Great Western (to | Bristol direct) lines saul on Tuesday and those of | the State line on Wednesday. Inquiry at the re- spective steamship Offices showed that the sveam- ers were nearly all full, and itis probably no ex. ag eFAon 10 say that ab least 4,000 (und prob a iy more) people leit to.s port for Europe auring lhe page week, THE TOTAL.
