WAR ON SWILL MILK The Governor Orders the Sheriff to Quar- antine the Blissville Stables. * RUNNING OFF DISEASED COWS: Vigorous Meastires Adopted by the New York and Brooklyn Authorities, An order from Governor Robinson reached Sheriff Rushmore, of Queens county, L. L, yesterday, to quarantine the swill milk stables of Gaff, Fleisch- mann & Co., Blissville. ‘he Sheriff thereupon, pro- cceded to Long Island City and placed the or- der in the hands of his son, who is: Under Sheriff, and deputy sheriffs Wilkinson, Hurley and Smith were despatched to the stables and a complete quarantine was established, uo opposition having ‘been offered on the part of the proprietors. The causes which led to this action on the partof the Governor ary familiar to the public, having been de- tailed daily for several weeks in the columns of the Hznatp, The attention of the pubiic had ‘Deon aroused, not only in Blissville and Brooklyn, Dut also in Now York, to the alleged violation of the | Banitary rogulations of the ‘Brooklyn Board of Health in the matter of swill milk. The Health su- thorities thereupon took action in the matter, and ‘brought such pressure to bear upon the Executive that the order for quarautining the cattle was the re- sult. A Hemarp reporter called last evening on Under Bheriff Rushmore, who resides in the Court House at Long Island City, and represents his. father, the Bheriff, whose place of abode and principal office is at Hempstead. ‘he Under Sheriff is short in stature, about twenty-six yeara of age, of stout build and ruddy complexion. take charge on behalf of my father in this section,” he said un- reservedly to the reporter, ‘and I have no objection ‘to state our action in this swill milk matter.

The deputics quietly but firmly informed the hands employed that they intended to remain in charge of gates till they received further orders. Sheriff Rushmore will arrive in Long Isiand City early this moruing, and if any violence be offered, he will if neceasary apply for assistance to the Brooklyn authorities. “We are desperately in earnest in this matter,” said a police officer whom the Henaxp reporter encountered, ‘‘and we will make ® clean sweep of the swill milk business before we get through. It’s a shame that the people had to submit to it so long.” ‘The news of the Governor's action reached Jamaica before uoon and gave rise to much excitement. It is believed that a general.raid on stables containing dis- cattle will result from this. order, residents of. places nity to Blissville : mye ge pawage ingent laws in regard to the sale of swill milk, The continuance of the quar- sutine will throw a number of men out of em- yt mea and trouble is feared.

Aubany, Feb. 12, 1879. Mr. Law, one of the commissioners sent by the Governor to investigate the reports of cattle disease on Long Island, bas sent informiution to the Gov- ernor that he has found a disease called pleuro- pneumonia among cattle in six different places on the island. As cattle sre not exported from that section or sent out over the country it is not probable that the disease will spread, ‘but by some accident such a thing might vccur; hence the Governor, under the authority of the law of last adopt prompt and stringent measures to prevent any ree of the disease. + AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GOVERNOR. Professor Law and General Patrick had a consulta- tion with the Governor this afternoon on the sub- ject of the cattle disease on Long Island, General Patrick is of opinion that the discase is similar to the one which Lpaeeecer? several years ago in and around New York, the result of feeding cows on swill, and that it is entirely local in character. YEN THOUSAND DOLLARS APPROPRIATED. Mr. Sloan called attention to the passage of a law at the last session giving the Governor power to tuke action to suppress diseases among cattle. He (Mr. Sloan) was informed thut the Movernor had learned that a disease, ealled pleuro-pnenmonia had broken out enone ne cattle on Long Island and it was neces- sary that prompt action should be taken, and in or- der that something uright be done to enable the Gov- ernor to carry out the law referred to he would in- troduce a bill making an appropriation to meet what necessary expenses might be incurred. He thought it adv le that the bill should be passed at once. Mr. Brooks did not think it necessary to pass this Dill at once. He did not like such hasty legislation, The anthorities of New York and Kings had taken up the matter and were actively engaged upon what- ever remedies were necessary. Still he would not insist upon an objection to acting bivty the bill now, though it was cleur to his mind that the Governor had full power to act. ‘The bill was put on its passage and passed, It sintply appropriates $10,000, to be used—or as much of it as is nec —to carry out the pro- essary: visions of the law of last year to extirpate cattle dis- uses, ‘)WO YEARS ON HORSEBACK. . THE PROPOSED BIDE OF A NEW YORKER TO PATAGONIA—HIS START LAST EVENING. About midnight last night was commenced one of the severest tasks that suy man could undertake. Mr. Henry ‘Tudor started trom the Henatp oflice with the avowed intention of riding on horseback all the way from New York city to Punta Arenaé, the most southerly point of Patagonia, South America. He takes with hiin as attendunt a young man who will no doubt help him to pass the time as ploas- antly as possible, he being an accomplished song and dance genius. A Henatp reporter éulled on Mr. ‘Tudor ut the Fifth Avenue’ Hotel yesterday to learn the object of that gentlowan's intended long journey. He said that he was impressed with the ides for some time that by going through the several republics of Central and Suuth America and ascertaining what articles of American manufacture could be introduced with profit a large trade might be established: Atthe present time the English and German manufacturers hoid all the business with these countries, and thefr revenues are greatly increased by reason of the enor- mous importations of tropical merchandise. ‘“Ihere is no reason whatever,” said Mr. Tador, “why tho United States could not compete successfully with any of the pakigeg countries for the commerce of the South A: ‘an continent, because she can tan. tufacture the same articles cheaper aud would have less distance to carry them to market. She is now manufacturing more seeds than bo ps ist Sasi and consequently you can many things fora ricdé in e London store “han you would have bs pay in New York. is going to visit o% town of importance along the route. The two travellers were plentifully supplied with everything that would tend to make them comfort- able. On Colonel Tudor’s horse was strapped a large tent, a “ ho,” but and a pair of immense eacdle been whil® in bis belt he carfied a ot large calibre Colt's revolvers, ‘which are intendutl for the wari reception of “Los sefiores del camino,” should be so unwise as to try and iuterview the travellers on the mountains. His companion was (© well provided with fire arms; iu fact, the two had enough weapons to sy alm a The ipply 5 route that Mr. ‘fudor intends to follow ia as follows:—Last hight they were to have gone a4 far as Newark; there they will move toward Philadelphia; from Philadelphia to Washi: yn via Baltimore, to Rich- mond; thence to Mo! to Brownsville, San Luis Potosi, city of Mexico. Here they will deliberate as to the next move, an will be guided altogether b; the state of the roads. Anyhow, an effort w: bo made to reach Guatemala by travel- ling slong the Pacific coast as near as pos- sible. They do not expeet to have much troubie in finding their way, as it is proposed to hire guides at convenient distances. When y arrive in Pata- gonia Mr. ‘Tudor intends jooking ne the ostrich and guanaco interests and believes that a large amount of money can be made by the exportation to this country of those articles. At present the latter, which is very fine kind of wool, is very hard to save, and when it reaches the northern markets it is generally. very much damaged. Mr, Tudor will ex- amine into cause of auch injury and try to pre- vent it. It is expected that the journey to Punta Arenas will occupy two years. SKATING CARNIVAL AT GILMORE’s. The interior of Gilmore's Garden has seldom pre- sented a more picturesque appearance than it did last evening at nine o'clock, when the ‘grand fancy dvess ball on ico” was at its height. Why it should have been announced as @ ball was not explained by the entertainment, Which was a skating carnival, wherein about one hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen appeared in costume, while as many more skimming the ice in ordinary dress, using ® preposterous nose or @ pair of goggles to dis- gitiso their identity. An audience of 500 people skirted the pond and looked on at the sport. A gentleman in harlequin costume was the first to appear on the glassy surface, and whirled along and around in manner very conducive to vertigo. He was quickly followed by a (cork) colored gentle- man with a colored partner in feminine attire, There was an insufficiency of development of calf and contour in the limbs of the latter, how- ever, that shook one’s faith in the sex of that indi- vidual. The pond was soon well filled with reproson- tatives of every race and nationality—the municipal policeman being, oe is usual on other occasions, about the last make his appearance. White hats, linen dusters and tans were in abundance, and one of the merry makers attracted a good deal of attention in @ paper ulster, coated on tho outside with cotton batting. To the music of the band weveral attempts at waltzing were made, but the us mature of the experiment cautioned the feat nujority from any attempt of it: | Snap- the-whip and merry-go-round were indulged in, and when the calcium lights were turned on from the wiudows above an enjoyable panto- mine w the ice. There were several collisions aud imminent catastrophes of various kinds, ‘Dut they were all averted as it by some special Prov dence, and the only wisi were a full or two, at- tended with no injury. The coming Arion ball will necesattate the cl x of the skating season at (il- inore’s at the end of this week.

PovGuxrersiE, Feb. 12, 1879. Yesterday's rain storm has entirely cleared the snow from the ice surface of the Hudson River, aud to-day the ice for over one hundred miles is as smooth and bright as a mirror, and the greatest en- thusiaam is exhibited by the ice yachtsmon over the prospects for the best ice yacht sport for | years, Everywhere among the members of the | New Hamburg and Poughkeepsie ice yacht clubs the greatest activity prevails, Boats and rigging are | being thoroughly overhauled, runners sharpened and other preparations are being made for hot races. Asa on as the mercury drops to 32 (and it now looks as if that will occur to-night, as the wind has shifted to the west) the order to prepare for the start in the match race for the Kidd Pennant will be given, ‘This race will be between all of the yachts of both the New Hamburg and Poughkeopsio clubs, and as thirty yachts will start in it, it will be the main contest of the season. No one can safely ae whether New Hamburg or Poughkeepsie wil! wit, but certain it is that the struggle will be between the Flying Cloud, Phantom, Zero and Zephyr, of the New burg Club, and Haze, Icicle, the Buckhout boat and Ella, of the Poughkeepsie Club. At present the Poughkeepsie Club holds the pennant, having fairly won it. If the wind blows strong from the northwest on the day of the race terrific spoed will be attained. ‘The course will probably be from Poughkeepsie to New Humburg and return, or vice versu. Mr. Henry Frost, of the Regatta Committee, bas authorized Mr. J; A. Roosevelt to decide when the ice is in condition, and as soon as that decision is made the race will be ordered on by the Regatta Committee, Judging from the present outlook it will be the finest ice yacht race ever witnessed and the most exciting. After the raco for the pennanteach club will put on their annual races, and thet, will follow challenge | races of all kinds, and there will be several such, us the feeling runs high between the two clubs in the way of generous rivalry.

Quite a large number of spectators were present, including several demure | looking ladies who, i¢ was understood, were rela- tives of Wells, During the taking of testimony the latter ulso arrived in the court room and took a seat ‘The commission was composed of Fyederick A, Ward, who presided; Dr. Daniel Ayres and Charles A.

Commissioner Ward called the attention of counsel to the tact that in case Mr. Wells was adjudged sune there was no provision made for defraying the ex- penses of the investigation. : He wanted the counsel on both sides togrrunge the maiter before proeced- ing any turther, as the sheriff’s fees und the jurors would have to be He added thut, | in addition, he and his fellow Commissioners did not like devoting their time to the ease gratuitously, A debate by the lawyers here arose, which was cut short by Commissioner Ward, wito ‘informed Mr. Sibley that unless he would become personally responsible for the costs of ‘the investigation the commission would adjourn the case until such time as the expenses were guaranteed. Mr. Sibley then pledged his personal respousibility for the costs, and the Commissioner ordered the caso to proceed. PRESIDENT BOLSTON’§ TESTIMONY.

A BODY OF STOCKHOLDERS APPOINT A COMMIT- TEE TO EXAMINE [8 AFFAIRS—TARE KkE- CEIVERSHIP. A meeting of a small number of the stockholders of the National Trust Company was held yesterday at the Coal and Iron Exchange, iy Cortlandt street, for the purpose of considering the legality of Mr. Bost's receivership and to perfect a plan for investigating the affairs of the company. The mecting was a secret one, and the particulars were given at its close by Mr. William O. McDowell, one of the leaders in the movement. It was presided over by Mr. A. Weinberg. Mr, William O, McDowell read a statement to the mecting showing that the capital stock’ of the company is $1,000,000; that the company holds $95,100 of its own stock, and that consequently a ma- jority would be $452,000, of which he claimed that xo far he was sure of the co-operation of the repre- sentatives of $200,000, A resolution was then adopted appointing Abraham Wakeman, Richard M. Nicholls, Myer 8. Isaacs, Henry Hyman and William O, Me- Dowell a comuiittce with full power to represent the approv:: stockholders and to investigate the affairs of the National Trust Company, both under the management of the trustees and receiver; and if they find a state of facts that im their judgment will enable them to hold personally liable either or all of the officers, trustees or receiver of said company, to the extent of the recovery for those present of the full power of theix stock, they aball do so, ‘This com: mittee was empowered to all necessary proceed- ings, Pees. however, they flust secure the ap- val, in writing, of stock: representing at least $200,000 of . In & subsequent interview with Receiver Bost that ontleman seemed to care very little for thé meeti fio said that Mr. Wakeman, one of the gentleme pointed on the investigating committee, wae stockholder, and that the other member of mittee had very little interest in the company. Tn regard to the T of allowing them to examine the books of the Trust Company, he considered it ridicu- lous. It was not his intention to allow outsiders to obtain information which could afterward be used for blackmailing pu *. In any event, it he should allow any outsider to examine the books he would be Hable to prosecution by the courts. ALCOHOLIC STATISTICS. MEETING OF PROMINENT CITIZENS URGING THE PASSAGE OF A BILL BY CONGRESS TO PROVIDE FOR A NATIONAL COMMISSION ON THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. y Anumber of gentlomen met yosterday afternoon inthe rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, No. 63 William street, for the purpose of taking stops toward the promotion of. the passage, by the Mouse of Representatives, of the bill which haa already been passed by the Sonate of the present and two preceding Congresses, to provide for a National Com- mission of Inquiry concerning the alcoholic trafic and its relations to the public welfare, Mr. William L.

On two occasions already fw portant national issues before the House of Kepreseutatives had caused to be deferred the passage of the vill atiecting the liquor trafic, and if now this bill was not considered and passed by the House before March next all that had been already done would have to be done over wud, dad Leice tis micvting bud been called bo sel to urge upon the House of Representatives the im- portance of legislating at once in this mutter, Dr, C.

At the present time © life was only from twelve to | fifteen years, while im 1810 the syerage ite was 26 15-109, In this city ninety per cent of the children died in their first year, a form of insanity. From the facts already known it was apparent how important it was to have full knowledge on this subject, und even though they should fail this year they would try again next, and by perseverance accomplish finally the parpose they had in view. . IMPRISONED HOPE. THE UFARING BEFORE POLICE JUSTICE FLAMMER YESTERDAY—BANE OFFICIALS IN COURT. Everybody was on the qui rive in Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday at the formal and explicit ex- amination in John Hope’s (or the recent Manhattan Bank burglary) case. It was pretty well known that Captain Byrnes had accumulated a good deal of tes- tinony against the prisoner; tliat is to say, establish Ing the fact of his presence in the immediate vielvity of the Manhattan Bank on the morning of its despoiiation, October 27, 1878, As soon as Justice Flammer had disposed, of the morning watch District Attorney Phelps, Waldo Hutchins, Edward Schell and Vice President McLeun were seen to enter the building and come down the aisle to the chancel of justice, to which they were immediately admitted by the officer at the gate, At the same time t was whispered that “Johnny Hope” had just been brought !n by Detectives Dolun and Slevin and Cap- tain Byrnes through the private or ‘prisoners’ en- trance. The discharge of the watch and all other such minor affairs hed no further interest for the spectators, who anxiously awaited Hope's arraign- ment. It was not long before the prisoner was called. He ‘was represented by Counsellor Price, and District At- torney Phelps appeared for ‘the people. He asked Justice Flammer what he was likely to do in the mutter, and that official thought that nothing could be done except to commit the prisoner for examina- tion until this afternoon at threé o'clock, aud mean_ while take the Captain’s complaint and the affidavits supporting it. 4 District Attorney Phelps expressed the wish that the man’s complicity should be established as quickly as possible or his innocence declared. A CAREFUL EXAMINATION. Justice Flammer then. formally committed the prisoner, who was sent up on the second tier in the inais part of the Jefferson Market Prison, and pro- ceeded to sift the evidence against him and bring it into proper legal shape. John Hope was held for the nonee on Captain Byrnes’ affidavit, to the effect that, on information and belief, he arrested and ac- cused John Hope of being connected in sofme way as apurticipant in the burglary and robbery of the Manhattan Bank, at the corner of Broadway and Bleecker street, om the with of October, 1873, of $3,068,000, When the prisouers withdrew Justice Flammer took Cuptain Byrnes and his witnesses intu the pri- vate room and cross-questioned them closely. He took particular care to let them swear to nothing but what cach could vouch personally for; hence the ap- purent meagreness of the affidavits. ‘Tho first wit- Ress called was an employé of the St. Charles Hotel, who swore gs follows :— S James If. Jonnings, of No. 648 Broadway October 27, 1878, [ was employed ut the St. at the number given; at about half past six o morning I was at a Wooden gute, with wire sereens at the side and rear of St. Charles Hotel, when T was addressed by John Hope, the pris censed herein and now pres: ent, who wos in an alleyway leading from Bl nd around the building occupied by the Manhattan inxs Institution and by said wooden gate; the said Hope asked deponent ax to the whereabouts of the water closet; depouent replied that there was no water closet, and if there was he could not let him in; the said Hope rocecded then through said alleyway toward Bond str fait “turaing himself around threo diferent tines, and euch time looking at deponent : re said Hope reached Bond street, und while said Hope was in said alleyway de- ba ale laa JAMES H, JENXtEGS. | As soon as he had given his testimony Jdihings left and the colored woman-was called.

Doponent further says that the person here aerated fn court as Joli Hope, the accu herein, is the person who answered to the milcwen W aforesaid. (Sigued) ker street Sa ANNIE SAMPSB: OTHER TESTIMONY. Officer William Wauren, of the Fifteenth precinct, said thatonthe morning of the robbery he was on duty in Bleecker street and identified John Hope as a person whom he had met on the corner of Crosby and Bleecker streets at that time, and who an- swerod when asked what he was doing thut he was “waiting for @ car,” Officer Gilgar, of the same precinct, swore that he recognized in Hope. the prisoner, the nran who had spoken to the milkman from the side door of the bank on the morning of thie 27th of October, 1878. When the testimony was all taken the witnesses were allowed to withdraw, and Captain Byrnes stated that he had sutficient inkling of What transpired on that Sunday morning to induce him to push matters vigorously. He expected that great consequences would fotlow thisarrest. At any rate, bank burglars’ combinations were about as well understood now as was that of the Manhattan Bank that Sabbath morn. JOHN HOPE'S POSITION, A Hxnacp reporter calied on John Hope in the porte and bey bw a tee! with hii, bem owever, consisted m of littering generalities. Hope, who was in his shirt sleeves and under the especial supervision of Keeper mott in the lust cell on the top tier of the prison, smiled when to about the arrest and all complicity in the great robl . “Why,” said he, “I never had anything to do with it, and T have not been stowed away, as the police say, 1 have been knocking about the city for the last couple of months and could have been col- lared at any time if necessary, As to what my father has or has not done I can say nothing. He would not be very likely to tell me snything about it. Ihave been astray once, but the greater part of iy life has been spent in trying to build up a liquor I tailed. These people may talk and swear and make charges against me as much * please. Still 1 am sure they can never connect mo with the Manhattan Bank burglary. I was not there. 1 have nothing more to way.” So the mutter stands. The examination to-day may bring about an eclai METROPOLITAN “L” STRIKE. The strike among the laborers employed in the construction of the Metropolitan clevated roud still continues. About fifty men came to work yesterday morning, but their foremen told them of the com- pany’s resolution to suspend operations fora few days and they quietly returned to thetr homes. Mr. J. T. Conover, the superintendent, intormed the di- rectors of the New York Loan and Improvement Company when they gave him notice of suspension late on ‘Tuesday evening that any day that they wanted to commence operations he would be ready with ail the mon needed at the reduced price. ‘The men engaged in Vlasting tock wore the only men at work yesterday on that portion of the road in process of construction, STREET CAR LICENSES. en Many of the horee car companies in this city have . for some years past refused to pay any license foes for the privileges enjoyed by them, although, by an ‘ordinance of the Common Council, they are obliged to take out @ license for each car which is run. The consideration of this subject was referred a few weeks axe to the Law Conmunittee of the Board of Aldermen, the members of which have just presented # report to the Common Council, in which they state that the companies ought to pay for the fran- chises they enjoy, and ask the Board of Aldermen to veqnest the Legislature to enact a law compelling them to do so. “ALWAYS WITH YOU.” ‘The Hrnatp has received trom “if.

Whey referred to am oeeurrence | alleged to have taken place at a Catholic church up | town reflecting severcly on its pastor, As the Henatp declines pomtively to publish anonymous communications a representative wax detailed to as- | certain the truth or faleity of the statements made | by “Plutarch.” The result of the investiga j tion will be found in the subjoined account. | A couple of Sundays ago, at the Church of St. Cecilia, Father Flattery pastor, a scene took place that has seldom been witnessed in a temple of worship, The pastor at the early mass made certain romarks re- flecting severely on a young lady of the congrega- tion, and the father of the young lady stood up in his pew and remonstrated with the clergyman. A reporter of the Hrnatp having called upon the gen- tleman of the congregation referred to above ol tained from him the following statement‘of the trouble between him and the pastor. Mr. Charles Leary, over a year ago resided in East 109th strect, and was # wember of the congregation of St. Cecilia Church. Father Flattery called at the house and expressed a desive that the daughter of this gentleman, Miss Mary Leary, a young lady of sixteen years, should become a member of the So- ality connected with the church, He left a sub- scription book with her, the collections to bedevoted to the interests of the church. The family subse- quently moved out of the parish into East 116th street, near Third «venue, and Father Flattery expressed wish that they should still attend his church. Ona Sunday receutly the pastor warned the congregation that he would read from the altar the names of the quent members of the Sodality. ‘Thereupon,” said Mr. Leary, “I bade my daugh- ter return her book, as i did not wish her to con- tinue as a member. I was opposed to the system of soliciting subscriptions, and we lived at some dis- tance from the church. My daughter brought the book buck to Father rahevag? f and told him that her father desired her to return if. He refused to uccept it, but she insisted upon fulfilling her father’s wishes, They purted in the most triendly manner, On the Sunday following, January 19, our entire family went to early mass. My daughter received holy Communion trom Father Flattery. Immediately after he ascended the altar he addressed the congre- gation and made the following remarks :— “+4 young lady called upon me last week and acted in such an ignoraut manuer that she threw her Sodulity book at me. Were I as ignorant as she I aight have done the same. That young lady was ‘Miss Leary, of 116th street. Now, I would advise Miss Leary to xeop auay from this ehurch, or if I catch her around here I will take her by the shoulders and push her out.” “Whereupon I got up in my pew and spoke to Father Flattery as follows:—‘Futher Flattery, you need not put yourself to that trouble. It was at our solicitation and by your coaxing thet Miss joa and her tamily kept their pew in this church since they moved to 116th street. You ought to be asl Of yourself to expect any young lady to at- tend your mvetings and leave at such unseasonable hours to go home.” x Father Flattery then answered or retaliated me and said, ‘1 do not kuow the gentleman; he no pew in this church.’ “T replied to him, knowing the utter falsity of his statement, ‘You arear untruthful gentleman; I caa show you my receipts for pew rent, and if Lowe you anything you know where I live and I aim willing at amy time to pay it. Task no favors from you, Father Flattery, or anybody else.’ “Then 1 left the church, but my family remained.” Mrs. Leary said that after her husband left the church Father Flattery remarked, “Chat gentleman just now going out of the church I never suw before in wy life, and I never put my toot in his house.” Mr. Leary continued his story my stating that on the fallowing Sunday (January 26) he went to Father Flattery’s house to pay his pew rent. Notices had been previously put up at the portals of the chureb warning pewholders to pay their rent. “I went to Father Fluttery’s,” said Mr. Leary, “at halt-past nine o'clock ou t! Sunday morning. A servant asked me for my mame. I gave it, stating that I had come to pay my pew rent. Father Flat- tery sent out word that he would not see me and that he didn’t want my pew rent. I told the servant a4 I froma goo.

I was not there, but my son, who was pres- ent, told me all about it,’ Ido uot want to make this unfortunate circumstance public, I would rather avoid publicity, but I caunot allow any oue to slan- der a member of my family.” Mrs. Leary, with tears in her eyes, said that it was very hard tora spur, virtuous girl, just after receiv. ing Holy Commtuniob, to be spoken of from the altar Pa in such @ mauuer. ‘The young lady in bogey isa modest, quiet, ume assuming girl, the pride of Ler parents and esteemed by all ber acquaintances. : CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. ‘PRESIDENT HAYES ‘Destiics Tar ff SHALL BP * ‘CAnniep ovr rd’ tug LEerren—dis INsTAVO TIONS TO THE, CUSTOMS; OFFICTALS, President Hayes has sent letters to Collector Mew ritt, Surveyor Graham snd Naval Officer Burt on Custom-House management, aud these officers yes- terday morning held a conterence in regard to the sume, They stated that it was not deemed expedient to give these letters to the public until they had agreed upon some plan of action for euforcing the policy of the President. It is understood that the President in his letters states that the law providing for competitive examinations of applicants for posi- tions in the Government service is still on the statute books, and that he desires that the same should be 5 thet the customs service, in his opinion, should be kept free from political influences; that the best pos- sible service should be given on & purely business basis, and that pny ed should fee! that their pusi- tion was secure as long us their conduct and business qualifications guarantecd it. He states further, so it is said, that he does not wish any removals to be made simply because 4 of those employed in Ps ‘Custom House may be the appointees or friends Genoral Arthur, the late Collector; or that any changes or appointments for the future shall be gov- erned merely oy or personal reasons. ne it is sei be anxious that reforms shall be made in the public service whenever found. "4 and that the pledges for the faithfulness and effi- ciency of the new appointces, which he gave in his communication to the Senate, shall be fully redeemed, At the conference held by the three officials yester- day morning it was xgreea that a compctitive exami. nation simier to that which took place in 1872 should be inaugurated. It was not decided, however, precisely who was to compose the Board of Examiners, exc that they would be men exclu. sively in the service of the goverument, as there is no @ppropriation to cover expenses of outside com. missioners. It is believed that the Commis- sion will consist of one or more experts from each department of Custom House. When vacancies shall occur from any cause the higher grades will be filled b; promotion, and the new appointees will be selected for the lowest grades. The new appointees will, it is thought, as in 1872, be placed on six months proba tion, at the end of which period, if their capsbilitics are satisfactorily proven, their nomination will then be forwarded for contirmation. The Board will re- turn to the appointing oflicer the three persons be ing the highest examination, one of whom wi selected to fill the vacancy, Another conference will be beld to-day for the pxe of agreeiug on a definite plain of action, wi Is understood to go into effect on the Ist proxino, WINE AND SPIRIT TRADERS.
