mads by Dal-till M Beatty. who. according to Col.
Wbltley, waa discharged from Ibe Secret Service
Division for appropriating a)>out ?0 bottles of
eelied wine to his own use. The witness admitted that
many eise* of fraud sgalust the Government
were settled by the payment of money, but as?
serted that in the present crowded condition of tbo
U. S Courte no other paaaltf could be euforced.
He denied ?-' .ing asked tho officers of the Shoe
and Leather Bank to reward Bcatfy f jr seizing a certain
counterfeit plate, and asserted that he never made a
seiiura which be did not ropi rt to the Collector. He was

TKSTIMONT OF JUSflOl 0. WATSON? BKCALLF.D.
A calculution, based on returns furnished by
this witness, showed the receipt by Loct __ Htocking of
lM.str packages at tbo Leroy-st. store during tbo year
1871.
Senator Casserly?During the first days of tho sitting
of this Committee we reoeived from the Custom-bouse
tbeir statement for the year 1871, in which the number
of packages, bundles, cases, and so forth, given In, up
psrentlyst least, as great detail as yours, foots up
101,070; do you observe anv difference between the Cus?
tom-house return and your return I A. I notice a diflcr
euoe. Yes.
hen at or Howe?Are those two amounts for the same
period t A. 1 suppose so; I know nothing of it, bow
over.
coi-STRr. nvR storaoe.
Q Some testimony given since you were here renders
It necessary for us to ssk you lu regard to goods never
actually reoeived within the doors of tho warehouse I
understand the practice to be that when goods are at
the door of the warehouse, but tiefore they have _____B. I
the warehouse, if a permit is presented thev are imme?
diately delivered to the merchant to be taken away ; Is
that correct I A. Thoy im reported the same as if they
??n'ered the warehouse; and tosa may tie datirerod from
the cart to the owner's care without actually rommg
wiibiu the warehouse.
?j. Then for all that class of packages, the warehouse
charges and receives compensation precisely as though
it had received and store?! the goods for one month f A.
Just the same, except us to tin? mutter of cartage; If a
merchant brings them up himself, he pays the cartage.
Q. Then the idea is this: if a merchant reaches the
dock within M hours after the arrival oi the ship, with
his dutt -paid permit, for the Inspector to deliver to him
the pads, and it so happen* Hint the Ctistom-bouso In
tpoctor had marked tin m for Generul Order, the mer?
chant could not Uiucb th. m, and they would be carted
first to the General Order store?is that the easel A.
That Is what I mean to state.
?y. Then Is the men haut compelled to follow his goods,
from the dock where be was prepared to take tb.-m, and
where be bad a permit authorizing him to take them, up
to tbs Oeneiai Order store, and got them at the door of
that atore ! A. ?nicas the lnsi?ector allowed bin? to
take thorn off the dock.
Q. Then can he got his goods when thev have resched
the General Order store I A. Not until lie goes to the
Custom-bouse and gets bis permit stamped for the I?eroy
??u.1 Wesi si. stop : but as u matter of saving time,
merchant or hi- clerk would, tinder the clrcomatanoi
go immediately to the Custom bous, and get hi* permit
reotaamad; but when be got back bis goods might then

A. Yes, Sir.
Q. Have yon the preparation of the catalogues of un?
claimed and other good* that are to be-sold at auction I
A. No, Sir; all I have to do Is to appraise tho value of
goods before they are sold; I send clerks around who
appraise the goods, and I afterward make a personal in
?pectlon of tbo goods to see if they have been properl/
?ppraist'd. I give the appraisement official sanction.
?5- Are goods sold without description that will lead the
purchaser to know the value of the goods) A. Yes. sn ;
I don't think the (Jovernnieut assumes auy re.sj?onsihlbty
in the matter of quality and quantity.

Q. Mr. Itraltr speaks of several casos where p ir
were arrested with smuggled cigars ?nd ihe easel c

>ug from S_oo to $soo I A. I think such oases have ta
pince where men bave been taken to tho Dlstrlct-At

and I think it was under.titKMl that if that party wc
pav a flue ?nd give up the goods, he should not be pr

q. Who makes this compromise I A. The Assist?
District Attorney ; II Is a very bud way ; if there w
any facilities for Irving these cases it would be bettei
have them tried, but the foot ts the facilities for the t
of causes in this city liefere the United States Courts
no greater than they are in places where there is i
pei haps, one fiftieth of the business done that then
here, and there would be no more probability of a n
beiug tried and convicted of an offense against the ?
toins here than the most improbable thing I can Im?*!
the dockets aro so loaded that those causes cannot
reached ; thev do not even trr felony causes ; I hi
got a man in J*all who has been thers two years, and
Government has persistently urged the trial of
case, but It has been a Impossible to get it
whenever they attempt it they can keep a case off
long as tbey pieuse here, and a ball boud given fc
criminal is entirely worthless; I know of instan
where men have been out ou bail two t?r three Yours, i1
they ?re not anvwhere about New-York where tl
could be found; the great trouble lies In the want I
proper court to try these cases; we should have a eo
that would sit constantly; the fVcretary of tho Tr?
ury has been very urgent In regard to these eases;
want? the men to Is? toed and convicted; he thinks tl
is tbe only way in which smuggling can tx? broken I
und that has been my opinion snd my policy, but I in.
lieen entirely unable to enforce If; I have procure?
lsrge number of Indictments, but cannot got the c?
tried.

COLOR IN ART.
LECTURE Br WILLIAM PAOK.
The l,iM of tlif series i>f lecturfs on Art, iiy
William Page, was delivered at tho Ara. loiiiy of I?e. ign,
on Tuesday, Ix.fore a large assent ?l?ge. Over t_s? Huge
were suspended two getattaaa which furnlahed the sub
>et matter of the lecture, a copy of Titian's " Di ad
Christ " and a small picture by an American artist,
Washington Allsten, roprosirutlug a scone In one of Mrs.
lindel.fl. 'a novels. The lecturer said :

BrOBk, tmA BSBjaJHsafl that, h? felt at a loss for words to
expresa all that It conveyed to linn; and that he consid?
ered the original In the Isiuvre worth all the pictures In
thai gallery, sud the Houvrn Itself. The best Isalways
worth all llie n*st of Its kind; and every time he went
back after tbe lapse of years and saw it again, It seemed
new to turn, bo much mor? did It express to It Im.
I doslp-, he resumed, m v young frlt-uds to take to heart
this truth when their friends call upou them to desist
trviii U.? effort to do better. The trutU Is the truth for?
ever, sTld w?Jl jnolf 1 preach not the flo'-js'l.tbe Gospel
of Art that Is. f?i? trutlT Wherever the truth Is, whether
in ii i.it ion to light and darkness of color, or to Hie order
by which we endeavor to parallel nature, It Is truth, and
God's truth ; and. forever and forever, It will e??me up
again, again, and again, and sooner or later it will be
recognlied.
Mr. l'agi? then referred to Washington Allston's paint?
ing. He saw It first to years ago lit tins Academy, and
he frci|iu ntly thought of It afterward, and was de?
lighted to see it 13 years subsequentlv at a picture deal?
er's Btoro in tills clly. lie considered It tho liest
picture in tho gnlli-rr, which 1? tho liest In the
country; not lo good as the liest of Titian's;
but few of Tlftsn's of that color are so good in color.
In conclusion, I feel very much ns if this was an ice
laoat race over the surface of things. 1 have gone sys?
tematically over many things, preparatory for something
more elaborate and reaching nearer to tbo particular
means of pictorial art, but there seems to lie no one ut
bund ready to uudertake to continue the stibjecf In thst
(lltoctlnti, and therefore I foel that this will be the last
eveuing I shall have the pleasure of addressing you for
the season. Hut I must t hank you for the interest you
seem to have taken in the subject, and beg voiir kind con?
sideration for tbo intention, rather than the deed, In
winit 1 have ?lone. I have done It without any special
preparation ; and, though there are so many things that
nave crowded tii-ui me that I feel as If tin-re was no end
of talking, still it doc* uot do to treat such a subject at
too great length, or tho audience will bicorne wearied.
Hut I am in lii'pe* thai unnth.-r season wo will continu"
these or something more advanced IBM these Inclure? ;
and i? i Imp- we will have olbcrs to uiuounco lor the
remainder of the season.

cerned. I have been many years In public life, iwid Tor

rumored assertion entirely destitute of truth. I challenge
a linger to bo laid upon uu unworthy net of mini? In this
