In deod, we are juformed] by Cuartes R. Conn WELL, Esq,, of Washington, who has been employed as counsel by the merchants to present their case to the Treasury Depart- ment, that many merchants have found it necessary to import their goods through other cities, where no such exactions are im. posed, and that by this means they not only save in time, but actually save in money more than enough to pay the additional cost of transportation from the port of entry to New York. What can be the object of thus levying half a million of dollars upon the commerce of New York? Why did Mr. Grinnevy, and why does Mr. Monpny, insist upon maintaining this odious exaction? Mr. CORNWELL tells us that Mr. Morpny has stated that, as a matter of judgment, he per. fectly agrees with Secretary BoutweLt in the opinion that the revenue would be equally safe under the system which the merchants desire, and that commerce would be greatly convenienced by returning to it; but that he cannot make the change, because it is necessary to provide for party purposes, and for the friends of President Guant. To or words, this great sum of half a mil na year is robbed from the merchants of New York for the benefit of certain favor ites of the Pres enrich, Thus it is that President Grant levies Mackmail upon the merchants of this great city, and iusisis on subjecting them to charges which are entirely unnecessary and without any justification of law, and which tend direetly to destroy the commerce of this city, in order that a few favored individuals into whose pockete he wishes to put mone and who possibly have made him presents in the past, or have promised to make him presents in the future, may fatteo upon this kind of plunder. lent, Whom he desires to eneliitiseaan he Alabama Clatms. England owes varions citizens of the United States about thirteen millions of dollars for damages caused by the operations of the rebel cruiser Alabama. heec claims belong to merchants of this city, to insurance companies, and to shipowners in various parte of the country, England is willing to settle them, Mr. Jomn A. PAnken, Presi. dent of the Great Western Insurance Com pany, has been informed by gentlemen who at his request have conrulted Lont Car. FENDON and other Brit'sh statesmen upon the subject, that if the United States Govorn- ment will consent, England will adjust the amount due in each case and pay it. Upen receipt of this information, application was made at Weshington for the consent of our Government to such a settlement of the controversy, That consent was refusod. Con gress was then wsked to take means to have the amonat of the claims officially ascer- tained and (o buy them, so that the Govern- ment, whi assumes to negotiate upon the subject, might alone be pecuniarily inter- ested, This, cowever, was also refused ; and we learn from the Jornada! of Commerce that the owners of the claims are now about to make a new effori to obtain a settleme: t fromm Groat Britain independently of the a our Government alo: on of The propased proces a judged ‘Yho question is political and international as well as pecuniary, No individual or associ atic A individuals ean negotiate upon such a matter with the Government of a foreign country.

The idea of attempting such @ private ar rangement a contemplated by Mr. PAuken’s inguiries in England, or by the movement now on foot, is entirely fullacious. The Administration of Gen, Guant, weak and remiss ae it has been in almost every. thing, has nowhere been weaker or more ios than in its treatment of this subject The whole matter might long ago have heen disposed of and the money paid to the claim. ants, if we had had a President and See tury of State adequate to their duties. The right course fur the owners of these claims to take is to subject the Administration to such ® power of public opinion as will com pel them to move efficiently in the matter. The first thing to be done is to secure the appolutment of a suitable Minister to Eng land, President Grant has dawdled with re this appointment long cnough, hawking it about the country to men who could not or would not take it, His negotiation with Senator Monros affords a complete illustra tion of his general method. When he first avkod that Bonator to become Minister to England, he reecived a positive refusal, Not content with this, he ineisted upon Mr, Mon taking the office; and finally, such was his pertinacity that he obtained from him a qualified acceptance. Mr, Monton was willing to take it if the election in In dinna should turn out favorably for the Ro publicans, That election has resulted other wise; and now Mr. Monron has renewed his refusal, and the President, after all his frivolous efforts, is still without a Minister to England, Lot the Alabama claimants insist on his adopting @ more sensible course, Let them urge upon him the example of England in her selection of & member of the great mer cantile house of Baring Brothers to come to the United States in 1841 for the arrange. ment of the northeastern boundary dispute, Tet Gen, Gnanv choose some one of our loading merchants to go to England to set tle the Alabama question, Lot him take euch @ roan as Mr. Mansuann O, Ron iid Mr Gronae Orpyke, Col, FA, lector has not exclusive control over the 1 justice for those who have waited so long. If the parties interested in the Alabama claims will urge upon the Administration such @ policy as this, they can hardly fail to make it hearken and act. Morgan Jones Comes Down—The San‘s Conxiino, Mr. Wititam E. Dovow, or Mr. Isaac SmERMAN; and if that emi- nent merchant, Mr. A. A.

The Hon. Monaan Jones has stated toa reporter of Tire SUN that Ae will not run for Congress against Mantin T. McMann, the candidate of the people and of ‘ne SuN. This is noble on the part of Mr. Jonns, He is a genuine Democrat, and knows, 96 every sensible man in the Fourth District knows, that Mc Manon is @ splendid, patri And eo Mr otic, able young statesman. Jones stands aside. Now there is no rival candidate remain'ng but Mr. Roosrvert, He is an estimable gentleman, wealthy, highly educated, the greatest fisherman in the country, but he has no connection with the hard-fisted Democracy of the Fourth District. He ought to ran for Congress among the up-town aristocrats, and there we should be glad to support him. But why should he continue to stand against McMauon after every other candidate, Democrat or Republican, has declined? Let him withdraw also, and let the people have & unanimous election. — The Hon.
