I, A leport aile to Please Mayes and Net to Displease Cameron. [inlonnost Enquirer.] WARa1tNaTOx, Sept. 17.-There is a good deal of quiet laughing here over the ludicrous way in which the Phila delphia Custom-House Commission, in its report, has stultified itself in its zeal to please Hayes and not displease Cam eron. After recounting that all of the principal customs officers neglect the government business and attend to pri vate interests of their own; after assert Ing that politics govern the appoint ments, and that many idle men are em ployed; after asserting the following flagrant violations of law, to wit: "Dep uty Surveyor Charles Redheffer, while superintending the discharge of steam ships from foreign ports, has author ized cases of wines and spirituous and fermented liquors to be landed without permit and the payment of duty; Depu ty Surveyor Hiram P. Goodrich has done likewise; the articles so landed were sometimes for the benefit of some offi cer or agent of the steamship company, and sometimes for the benefit of the said and other revenue officers and their friends, being usually obtained as gifts or gratuities from the officers or agents of the companies. The said deputies, together with the Surveyor, E. O. Good rich, have each received some of the ar ticles so landed, knowing, or having reason to know, that the same had been landed without permit and payment of duty. The naval officer has received articl.l so landed on one or two occa seir's, but states that he did not know tom whom they came nor of their un lawful importation." After rehearsing page after page of these and similar malfeasances in the Philadelphia Cus tom-House, the commission concluded by saying as follows: "We take pleas ure in reporting our conviction that, on the whole, the condition of the service at the present time is reasonably satis factory; that it is conducted to the gen eral approbation of the business com munity; that corruption is apparently unknown." From this finding of the Philadelphia Commission it is evident that they meant to avoid the error of the Jay Commission on the New York Custom-House, which incurred John Sherman's displeasure by recommend ing wholesale dismissals when it found a similar state of affairs in the 'New York Custom-House. THE CAPITOL. Improvements In the Hall of Representa tlves and Elsewhere. [N. Y. World.] WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Congress con venes four weeks from to-morrow. The Capitol building was never in better con dition for the reception of the two houses. Both of the new chambers and the old hall-now known as Statuary Hall-have been put in verfect order. The rotunda has been also cleansed and repainted from the floor to the top of the canopy, a distance of 183 feet, and Is resplendent in its new colors. The new ventilating and heating apparatus of the House hall was in working order yester day for the first time, and has proved to be a great success. The new plan was introduced by Edward Clark, arch itect of the Capitol, in accordance with the report of the board of United States officers convened by the request of the committee on public buildings in the last House, and for which an appropria tion of $33,000 was made. The fresh air is now taken direct from the grounds of the Capitol through the terrace, and is tempered by the warm air in winter from the hot water coils, while in sum mer it is thrown into the building direct from the grounds. A series of yentila tors have taken the place of some orna mental pendants in the ceiling to carry off the foul air. There is every reason to believe that the new system will be largely conducive to the health and oomfort of the members as well as to those who occupy the galleries. The spacious lobby in the rear of the Speak er's chair is hereafter to be used excJu sively for those who are entitled to the privileges of the floor of the House while in session, and the Speaker's parlor is also to be reserved for the Speaker and no longer to be a recep tion room for female lobbyists and fe male applicants for clerkships. Its abuse as a reception room heretofore has been, to put it mildly, simply scan dalous. The old reception room for la dies, used latterly by the Record report ers, is to be restored to its former pur pose, and the official reporters are to occupy hereafter the room used in the last session by the late Mr. Kerr and by Mr. Randall, adjacent to the Speaker's parlor as a private office for the Speak er which was the old room for theCom mittee on Postoffices, and, from its loca tion as the only committee room in the Speaker's corridor, the headquarters of the postoffie and railroad lobby under Republican rule. The Clerk of the House has also introduced some im provements in his office, which were much needed. The file room has been extended, and the facilities of the dis bursing room enlarged. THE SPEAEERnHIP. [Ohicago Times.] WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-A well-known New York political striker is here mak ing arrangements for Cox's campaign for the Speakership. He says that Cox's friends intend to come on about the 5th of next month. He speaks very en thusiastically of Cox's strength in the South, and says that "Sunset" will as tonish everybody by his strength on the first ballot, but while he believes that Cox will get a great deal of strength from the south, he yet fears that it will not be a strength that will stay by him. Cox, according to him, is very popular with the Southern people, and they in tend to give him a large vote for com plimentary purposes. Sam's city, he says, has been rather against him in the canvass. He states, as a fact, however, that the New York delegation with its sixteen votes, with one exception, is for Cox. This exception is Fernando Wood, who will support Mr. Randall with the understanding that if the latter is successful Mr. Wood shall be made chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. Cox's friend thinks that the votes of the New York delega tion will be able to control the nomina tion, particularly if the contest is close between the leading candidates. The votes of the New York delegation will stand by Mr. Cox throughout the con test. Cox's avant-courier says "Ran dall is not going to have any walkover this time. He has got the inside in some way. He has the House machine ry with him and the old chairmen who want to keep their places. I think that both Cox and Sayler have in the last two weeks gained more than Mr. Ran dalL Sayler in particular is picking up strength very fast. Stories have been ciroulated about Sayler by a fast man a.bout tn, but between you and me a man attends to business during busi ness hours he can do what he has a mind to outside of that without hurting him." He sums up the situation by saying that he thinks Cox, Randall and Sayler will develop nearly equal strength upon the first ballot, but after that he would not care to venture a pre diction. COTTON MANUFACrURER. [N. Y. Bulletin.] The United States, estimated by the bulk of products, ranks as the second among cotton manufacturing countries, our consumption of cotton being ex ceeded only by that of Great Britain. England consumed during the twelve months ending October 1, 1876, 1,270, 287,000 lbs. of cotton; while the United States' consumption last cotton year was 674,638,000 lbs., or 53 per cent that of England. The present total annual consumption of raw cotton in Europe and the United States is 2,910 035,000 lbs. or equal to 6 191,564 American bales of 470 lbs. Of this aggregate England manufactures 43.6 per cent and the United States 23.2 per cent, or the two countries combined 66 8 per cent, and the remaining ten na tions 33.2 per cent. The consumption of this country is nearly equal to that Germany, France, Russia and Austria combined. It would seem that, occupy ing such an important rank among the cotton manufacturing countries, the United States should develop a much greater ability to supply the wants of the non-manufacturing o~untries than we have hitherto at tained. More than one-half of Eng land's consumptian is re-exported in the shape of goods; while of our own con sumption not more than seven per cent is for export. There is no real reason why a considerable portion of England's export manufacture should not fall into our hands. The main obstacle to our getting it lies in a tariff system which artificially enhances the cost of every element that contributes to the produc tion of goods; and when the cotton manufacturers see their way for uniting for the abrogation of protection, so called, they will have taken a long step towards the realization of this great ob ject of their ambition. THE TURKS E.TTER ARMED THAN THE RIUMMANS. (London Tines.] VIENNA, Sept. 3.-There is one point to which a certain amount of import ance must be attached, though it is easy and common to make too much of it-namely, the arms employed by the two combatants. In this respect the Turks have a decided advantage. Their Krupp guns are superior in material, in range, and in accuracy to those of the Russians, but a far more important question is, how do they use them ? So tar as I have seen, the aim of the Turks has been bad and that of the Russians fairly good, but much may yet be done on either side to improve the shooting. A course at Hythe would do wonders for both armies, and it is worth remember ing that a great many of the men now being brought up to supply losses in the Russian ranks had hardly any prac tice at all with their weapons. The Berdan rifle, which is the only arm up to the average of European require ments, has been supplied to but a few of the Russian infantry, whose usual weapon, the Krinka, is decidedly in ferior to the Peabody-Martini supplied to the Turks from the United States; but on the whole the better shooting of the Russians more than balances the differ ence in armament. Any addition to tactical skill on either side would pjt the difference in actual shooting of oA the question. TECK MAINIE VoTs, [N. Y.
