THE PRESIDENTS POSITION,

C, April 7.The Postmaster at Rome, N. Y., was yesterday suspeHded from further duty In his slice by order of the President, aud James li. Corobran ban been designated to perioral lk duties of the office iu his stead. The President proponed the rmoral of the. Pafmaster and Roraituted Corcoran to theeeuate at tbe recent session, and as it fulled to take action on the BomluatloB, the Postmaster-General applied to the President for his directions In the case, and received a written communicatioB, which has been procured from the department aad is as follows; KxKcirnvR Maxsiox. Washixotos. O.O., March ,W8. J . ITh. Km. VUnt, J 'oti MUtitr-CfHertil. Dear Sir: In answer to your Inquiry as to the disposition to be made ot the case ot the Postmaster at Karae, Oneida County, X. Y., wnleh whs presented to the Senate on the aeth day of March with a proposition that lie b removed torcause.and wnhh proposition was not ncted upon prior to tl adjournment ot tttat body on the second any ot April, I lmve to any to mc it clearly seems to be my duty to exercise by prompt action In this case all tue power which tbe present ondi;ioii ot the law lift lett In uiy hands so lar as It may be done Independently of the Senate, to protect the Interests of tue Government, to vindicate the taws which have been enacted tor the regulation of the postal service, and to Impress upon Federal ottlce. holders the fact that no Indulgence will be granted by the Executive to those who violate taw or nelect public duty. This Postmaster, under Section itoH ot the United States llevlsed Statutes, and the regulations of the Post-omce Department. was rwnilred to transact to the department, weekly, a report of the bufiiness done by him In the money order branch of bit ofllcc. It appears from the ottlcial report of aa Inspector of the Post. ottlce Department now before me, and which was bw omitted to a committee ot the Senate while, the proposition to remove tlitn official whs b.'fore them, that an cxhiii laatlon ot hUoiUce was ordered ou the arttli ot January, lswfi. In eonseciuenco of the fact that no such weekly reports had beu made Mnee the sixth day of December, 18t. It further appears from this report that such examination developed the most disgraceful contusion In all that pertained to the account and financial condition of the ottk-e. that there had been no entry In money order booktt since Ju V, W. und tliBt,amiKht have been expected, there was a deficiency In tue money order account of more than Hcven hundred dollars, and In tbe po-tal uecount of more than lour hundred dollar. There Is. I think, no uhtptite touciilnif these faetn. The denclency ha been refunded to the Uoverament under an arrangement with one ot tin? sure t leu of the delinquent ollklat; aad he attempts to exem-a the wretched condition of hit ottlce by alleging that hhi SMl.-taut had entire charge oi the moneyorder business, rs well hs other details of the omce. In making euch an excuse, this ofheer admit-, it svema to me, a viola, tton of plain dnty in turning over the operations ot h omce to an aisUtnnt without any pretext of the slcknciw or tin avoidable atis-noe Of the Postmaster, Which Ut contrary to a reasonable, construction of Section 40.il of the Uevlsed Statutes, which provides that, In cae of the s.cknens or un. avoidable absence of the Postmaster of nny money order omce,h may, with th.t npurovai f the Postinabter-Ueneral. HUthotiee the Chief Clerk or -..line other clerk employed therein, to act iu Ids place aud to Ui. charge all the duties required by lew of aach Po-itmaster. Hy the claim now made that the assistant bavin bad full charge Is responsible lor the delinquencies and Irregularities com plained of, the Postmaster also appears to contradict his own sworn statementmade to the DepHrtmxnt as late as September aeth, 1M, to the effect that he himself has per. fonned, for tliepreoedlngo.uarter.the moneyorder business in Ids olHce except when necessarily absent. i shall do all that Is in my power to rid the public ervlc of oftletals M ho exhIWt M!h loose Ideas of their duty to the Government, a he fact that 1 have before me dotumeiits Hlgned by many residents of tue city vhare this Postmaster is locatel, and who belong to both political parlies, asserting their entire confidence In his lione.ty and lldellty demonstrates tha unfortunate facility with whkh uch papers may be obtained, and gives rise to an unpleasant Husplckin touching a too prevalent standard of political honesty. If 1 can not remove lids delinquent Postmaster. 1 can surely suspend hint. This I have determined to do promptly, and 1 desire you at once to pre acnt to me the- papers necessary for that purpose with a designation of .lames It. Cor roran to perform the duties of Postmaster in plaee of tiie omclal thus mentioned. lours truly, Urovkh Clkvelakii. At an interview with the PostmasterGeneral, he stated to the reporter of tins United Press that the Senate Committee asked for and bad scut to tbent the im pcrs In the case, Including the Iusinrctor's report, and the reason for their declining to approve the proposed removal was mi known to him, and could only be surmised. The facts are plainly shown by the olllclstl report of the Inspector made during the term of President Arthur, and open to no suspicion of partl8n or personal unfriendliness, and arc hucIi, indeed, at hardly admit of explanation. The President, la his letter, has only ;ientloned those in mpect to which no opportunity for question was open. The removal was net proposed for any other purpose than to Improve the service, and the nominee is a man axalnst whom ho just objection could He. The Postmaster-General added that the present may be a good opportunity to fmy that from evidences before him lie believes a notion to be prevalent, aud the practice to be general accordingly, that Postmasters should have allowances for clerks sufficient to enable the business of their otllces to be transacted chiefly by them, while the Postmaster himself, though the bct paid, should be required to give no personal labor be yonda general supervision. This case illustrates what may happen from such a practice, if the excuse of the Home Postmaster be true In fact; and In every case of default, tlie clerk or assistant will be Biade the scapegoat. It Is tbe Intention of the department to make a careful scratlny of these allowances and reduce them whea necessary, materially, requiring the Postmaster to give his personal time and attention to the duties of the otnee and assist in their performances, except In those few larger offices where his time may be necessarily required in geaeral supervision. It Is believed that by such a course the public Will be much better served, and that a considerable reduction In annual exaeadltares of tbe Depart ateat stay he realised.

TREATY NEGOTIATIONS.

TX XCJMMMMe1 a4es-l-a &t !RSHPJHtWty aPpty With the HrlMsh West IhUs-WIH Meeting- With Heme Faver, LHrd Oraavilla Thlnki It Laeks the Ksaeatlat XI e. SHcst ef stability, J.o.Mo.v, April 8.The Foreign Office has published the oorresKadeao reKneeling the negotiations for a treaty htween the United States and Great Urltaln In rejeard to reciprocity of trade with the llrltlsh West Indies. On October 25, 1681, Lord Granville, British Minister of Foreign Affairs, directed Minister West to propose to ths American Secretary of State, the follow Ire: basin lor a treaty: The British West Indies colonies to abolish their duties of tne following articles coming from the United States j Bread biscuit, butter, cheese, corn, meats of all kinds, flour, lard, lumber, kerosene, oat meal aud oil cake; aud some of tbe colonies to also abolish the duties oa hams, meats, shook and staves; the United States in return, therefor, to reduce the duty on sugar coiulug from these colonies at least tlfty percent. Ou November aOth, Minister West In formed Lord Granville that the Halted Slates desired a wider basis for the treaty, and that they also stipulated that tbe advantages proposed to be conferred upon the United States should not also be conceded grails to third parties under the Hiost favored nation clause of treaties. Ou December 4th Minister West forwarded to Lord Granville a draft of a counter treaty proposed by Mr. Frellnghuysen. This is an elaborate document, eoBUiulti)? schedules of ICO articles upon which an abolition of colonial duties was desired, in return for which concessions tbe United States would abolish the duty on all Himars below No. 1G Dutch standard. The exclusion of third parties from the benefit of the colonial concessions Is also Insisted upon in this draft as au indispensable clement In any further negotiations. Included in tbe correspondence at this point Is an estimate by Sir John Lubbock, M. P., for Loudon University, in which he states that the adoption of Secretary Frellnghuysen's proposed treaty would reduce the revenues of the affected colonies by only 160,000 annually, while the yearly loss to the United States would be '-',-09,000. Sir John strongly urged the acceptance of the Frellughnysen draft, aud this recommendation wa'i concurred in by .Minister West. Ou February 12th. however, Lord Granville directed Mr. West to inform tbe American Secretary of State that It would be impossible to accept the propetals made by the United StRtes. To do so would be to admit a principle which would revolutionize the conventional fttlpulatloHii an to commerce among all nations. It would render the 'favored nation clause" & fruitful cause of dispute, aud would, in fact, be a plain Infringement of international law. Lord Granville minutely criticised the points raised by Mr, Frellnt-huysen's proposition, and in conclusion, expressed his iejsret at being compelled to reject the draft, and his hopefulness that an agreement satisfactory and beneficial to both nations will be reached sooner or later. A copybf this dHjHttch was forwarded by Lord Granville to the Colonial OBke with the additional comment that the concessions offered by the United States were of less real than apparent value, and that the proposals lack the essential elements of a stable agreement.
