MUHPHY'S MANAGEMENT.
New York, Jan. 4. Tho senato com- i
niittee, here ostensibly to investigate our
custom-houie frauds, but sitting In the i
custom-houso and surrounded by custom- !
houso influences, and really preparing to j
whitewash tho custom-house, exnmincu
Horace Greelev. The philosopher, when
asked whether ho would affirm or bo sworn,
answered, "either way." Ho was then
wor;i, nnd In answer to tho president said
tho onlv nbuscs ho know of related to tho
control "of officer of customs by tho dom
inant pn-ty. Thrco or four customs of
flcals nio sent back to tho counties from
which thev enmo to Influenco and coerco
tho election of delegates. Among tho of
ficers so tiding, and, ns ho believed from
information, assigned to particular coun
ties, were Jeremiah Grow, Louis Lans
bcrrv, A. II. Cornel), nnd Addison H. Laf
lin. "Fiftvor sixty of thoso officers, includ
ing tho surveyor nnd naval officer, all paid
out of thn treasury of tho United States,
wero in Albany to control tho organization
of tho stato legislature by promise nnd
threat. A itnes is well assured that Gen.
Ketchum told tho nsscmblymcn from his
county that thev must vote in the interest
of tho custom-bouso nppointees or thoy
would lose their places. Friends noting
with witness told him this. Their names
aro Eastman nnd Gnring. The republican
stnto conventions of 1870 und 1871 wero
cont'ollcd by eustom-houo official.
O. AVhat do vou know of the working
of tho custom-home.
A. AVhat I know is very second-handed
on Oils point, but Mr. Shanks, of our
office, takes cliargu of theso matters.
Q. Do you say tho custom officers
woro paid fur going to Albany?
A. I say they nro drawing their pay
from hero whllo controlling tho logis
Inluro. Q. AVhnt tlo thoy w)h to control ?
A. Tho nomination or n spenker in

A. I shouldn't like to proclaim it bore.

A. If thev wish to conceal it I should
n't liko to proclaim It. If thoy proclaim
it I needn't toll.
Q. Tho argument isn't quite conclu
sive? ...
A. Thoy might proclaim it and I not
know It.
(J. Can you name any representative
who is n Fcnton man ?
A, Yes i 1 might. Mllo Goodrich.
Q,AVhleli wero Fenton men in tho lido
oom.rpss ?
A. Mr. Sheldon and Mr. MeCaithy.
Tho witness then gavo tho name of
postmasters in tho district of Mr. Sheldon
nnd Mr.McCnrthy, who wero succeeded by
Conkling men tinco tho 4th of March.
Ho believed about 100 men wero turned
out of tho custom-house because they were
Fenton men, sinco Mr. .Murphy became
collector. Mr. Grlnncll was removed to
mnko u phico for Mr. Mi'tphy. Mr. Mur
phy nfter that wnsa blttoroptionent of Mr.
Fenton, and n deeldod Conkling man. Ho
wont right to woik removing Fenton mon.
Mr. Pnlroor was replaced by Mr. Darling;

CAIRO, ILLINOIS, SUNDAY, JANUARY

, Q. You nro a resident of Now-York n
long titne, I bollevo?
A. Ye; ovor JO year.
Q. 1 it n now thing In Now-York pol
Klc for office-holder to uso their patron
go to niiiit'thelr party?
A. No; not to net against tho opposllo
party: but it la different n concerning tho
opposition of ono faction ngninst nnothcr
within tho eamo party. I do not know of
tho custom-bouso Interest being exerted to
nny uch extent ns unco Mr. Murphy be
came collector. At tho convention in
18C8, witness believed ho.Ay.a nominated
M n candidate for governor, but was de
feated by tho Conkling mon. Tho custom
house Inlluonco wn lirst felt at tho con
vention of 1870. Mr. Murphy, tho col
lector, then prneticnlly decided tho que
lion of tho cnmUdnlo of governor Jn favor
of Mr. Woodford, but thu trinl of strength
between tho Conkling nnd Kenton parties
was, on tho uppolntinent of temporary
chairman.
Senator Howe J t is your experienco
4hut every officeholder under every party
i'olt himself as frco to tnko part In con
vontlo nsn If thoy were not office
holders ?
A. No; I nm pretty suro Mr. Grlnnoll
did not mnko himself prominent whllo
collector, though when u private individ
ual lie was very ncllvo nnd prominent in
our conventions.
Q. AVcro Mr. Mcrrltt and Mr. Conk
ling less active in politics when In tho
custom-house than before?
A. Decidedly, ns regards our dif
ferences between ourselves ; thn in
lluenco of tho cusloin-houso was used
to control the two l&st conventions,
and about CO cu'tom-houso officials,
including tho collector and nnvai
officer, wero assembled at Albany. I do
not know who docs the business of lheo
officers in their absence. I hnvo Informa
tion that Mr. Murphy used regularly to
assess hi employes 2 "per cent, for politi
cal purposes, nnd 1 believe it. I under
stand an assessment of 2 per cent, wns
made the other day to get up n serenade
to Mr. Murphy. Laughter. A party
within a party controls the pntronago for
their own bvnetlt. Before Mr. Murphy
become collector, tho ofliccs wero about
fairly divided between tho two factions,
but after his appointment tho officer wero
coerced and alarmed into conceding to the
views of the dominant faction. I know
one federal officer, Mr. Samuel Mnddox,
deputy collector, who, I beliovo does not
rcsido here. I think it is n very great
public misfortuno when an-officer must go
out because oneparty comes in nnd another
goes out; still more when an officer must
ttn nti. rr n (...tin, ll,rnn..n f l...n
wthIn n party. X nm nforlnct)i ns stnlC(1
j u Ji'HUing
nrticlo in inv paper, that
iiiimy gentlemen would Ireeiygivu nvi
dencu to tho commilteo If its sessions
wero in another place who would bo deter
red by fear of personal retaliation from
coming hero.
To Senator Ciicrly I bolicvo Mr.
Alvand would havo beiiti.n Mr. Smith by
11 votes for the t peakorsh'.p but for federal
officeholders controlling tho legislative
organization. I havo bl ind tho general
order business complained of. Ono officer
Of tho CUStnm-ll01in rnlnplttliej to iio
that ho had to pav un assessment of S10 to
tho sorenado of ex-Collectoi Mtrphy.
Tho witness added t lint ho believed tho
question of the re-election of Gen. Grant
hnd something to do with the roniovnl
il.f utietf llf!ll.U?C.
In reply to Mr. Howe, the witness gave
an instance of how tbo public service i
sacrificed to the interest of a faction by
stowing that men had been let ofl'dutv to
mingle in party politics, and that men nro
appointed who nro vory uselul ns bar
room politicians, out good for nothing ns
Government officials.
To Senntor Howe I beliovo General
Porter and Mr. Itnbcock were sharing the
proceeds of tho general-order business.
Mv Informant Is Mr. Chns. A. Lnmont,
124 AVcst Thirty-fourth street, nnd ho
mentioned to mo tlio nnmo of M. Lindsay,
who know something about it.
To tho Chairman I believe thero nro
men employed in tho custom-honso who
nro not valuable public servants. I
wouldn't liko to mention their ncmcs, ns
It would bo only my judgment. 1 beliovo
there nro employes here latterly than there
used to be.
Mr. Greeley, when naked whether it

It would. Gentlemen would volunteer to
