Mr. IIURLBURD replied at some length to Collector Smythc's card, declaring, tn the course of his remarks, Unit the New York Custom House was, under Smythe's administration, reeking with corruption. In reference to the bonded warehouse business, u more flagitious, improper, disreputable and disgraceful transaction than that shown in the testimony, had never been made public. He also declared the evidence showed mat while Smythe took an oath every month that he received nothing from cartage, &c, he actually did receive every month $3o0 from that source, which money. was handed to his .Secretary, who kept it until the monthly oath had been taken by the Collector, and then paid it over by checks or otherwise. Ho would never forget the the Indignation he felt when a witness testified that Mr. Smythe had said to him, " I am damned sorry that l ever niiciertooK to carry the President's daughters." Mr. Smythe, to bo sure, denied that he had said so. but the witness said to him, I do not know what you thought. I do not know what occasion you hud to say so, but I do know you used these very words. Rcferrln to the name of Mrs. Perry, he said she was no myth. Her veritabe presence in the Executive chamber was proved more than once, und the. soft, low words there spoken to her: it was in proof she was to have shared one third of the profits of the general order of business, and one of the witnesses hnd told him after he left the stand that Mis. Perry had a written agreement to the effect, and that the Presi dent of the United States hud read that agree ment. He characterized Mr. Smythe as t vampire, sucking out the life blood of the commerce of New York, hampering commerce and making it subordinate to his own personal aggrandizement and to political objects. No action was taken.

In reference to the bonded warehouse business, u more flagitious, improper, disreputable and disgraceful transaction than that shown in the testimony, had never been made public. He also declared the evidence showed mat while Smythe took an oath every month that he received nothing from cartage, &c, he actually did receive every month $3o0 from that source, which money. was handed to his .Secretary, who kept it until the monthly oath had been taken by the Collector, and then paid it over by checks or otherwise. Ho would never forget the the Indignation he felt when a witness testified that Mr. Smythe had said to him, " I am damned sorry that l ever niiciertooK to carry the President's daughters." Mr. Smythe, to bo sure, denied that he had said so. but the witness said to him, I do not know what you thought. I do not know what occasion you hud to say so, but I do know you used these very words. Rcferrln to the name of Mrs. Perry, he said she was no myth. Her veritabe presence in the Executive chamber was proved more than once, und the. soft, low words there spoken to her: it was in proof she was to have shared one third of the profits of the general order of business, and one of the witnesses hnd told him after he left the stand that Mis. Perry had a written agreement to the effect, and that the Presi dent of the United States hud read that agree ment. He characterized Mr. Smythe as t vampire, sucking out the life blood of the commerce of New York, hampering commerce and making it subordinate to his own personal aggrandizement and to political objects.
