In tbe Hoff. rr.ari HeifMt corridors and In the New Am-sterdsin Cml), tbe headquarters of tbe County Jietuocracy leaders, tbe question was vary tboroua-hiy esociaily In Its bearing as foreshadowing a possible exouse for latilmanv's troaeheroaur selling out the nominee on tbe Democrat In plate ticket, at indicated in-laat tlnnaay'a Somo of the leaders sopesred to think It advisaole to take some flefl-rite public notice of Mr. O'Donoflue's declarations, especially a tbey related to what be termed Mr. Cooper's bigotry," but the counel ttiat prevailed- were to maintain a "judicious silence ana in wait ana see tbe result or tne forthcoming elections for delegates to tbe State Convention.

Ntacx. July 17. The temperance people of Rockland County, Irrespective-of religion, political, preference, or color, are about instituting a movement for the purpose of com-bating Intemperance which promises, if tbe plan formed can be carried out, to be of largep. proportions and greater influence than any method of action heretofore undertaken In the county. It ha been noticed that during the last three months Intemperance and drunkenness have been alarmingly on tbe Increase In tbe 'various towns and villages of Rockland County.

More license hay been granted thl year than for some years past, and tbe consequence 1 an Increase in tbe number of drinkors and the quantity of liquor consumed. There not a town In the county that is not suffering from this blight of Intemperance In a greater degree than tor a long time past, and the moral portion of each community is arming itself, for tha strife which Is sure to come. A county mass temperance convention la to be cabled, to be held at tbe village of bpripg Valley on Tuesday. Aug. 4, when a plan of action Is to be determined upon.

It Is expected tbat every clergyman In Rockland County will be present at tbia convention as well as lay members from every church. Tboee wbo do a belong to any church, whether ibey be Jew or Gentile, Hottentot or Chinese, will be admitted to tbe oonveution and allowed to participate In its proceedings, so tbat tbe, movement may be made an effective one. Tbe call to be issued will say. among other tblnirs: We believe that a convention of temperance workers, of what ever soeae or conviction, wouid prove advantageous to tbe cauae of temperance in at least disclosing to us bow near we can come together in labor and tbe methods and kind of work we can co-operate in." The people of Spring Valley are going to provide dinner for all wbo are present at tbe convention, but all can rest assured tbat nothing stronger than coffee will be erred to drink. It is not said whether the movement is to strengthen the Prohihftinn Party in this countv.

Put it la believed tbat a metnod or work di tie root from any heretofore carried out here will be proposed. A XETT-HAXPSmRE STATE SEXATOR.

Woe to these unfortunates if the examiner comes to the conclusion that an invoice, say of lOaOOOf. of silk good, has been undervalued 10 per cent. Then tbe flat bas gone forth and tha end is tbat the importer bas to pay instead of or In our money I10.UXX duty aa additional SiOUU penalty. Now. tbe examiner will not under oath state tbat De snows ana is perfectly certain tbst tbe invoice has actually been wtilfuUy undervalued.

Norwill be swear that the goods actually cost the Importer more than stated' In the invoice. But toe examiner will probably Judge of tbe true market value of tbls Urge Invoice, amounting to S20.000, and procured, got up, or gathered together by a very large bouse abroad of great means, perfectly faniutar, through long eara of experience, witn tbe silk trade, and possessing tbe best facilities to purcb.e, wltb a paltry purchase of $000 or even $LW0 worth of similar goods that could not bave been procured, owing to tbe want of all tbe above named facilities, by at least 10, or for tbat matter perhaps 15, percent, higner price, Surely merchants, manufacturer, and men of mercantile experience fully understand tblt very easy problem. Yet such is th cruel law of market value that our revenue officials find quite natural and proper to merge, metaphorically speaking, tbe cat into tbe mouse, and then accuse the- cat of trying to make tbe world believe she Is a cat aud a mouse. However, the examiner after all pleads, and from his standpoint perhaps very Justly too, tbst be is oaly doing his duty, that he saw, as I Intimated, similar a-oods invoiced higher, and therefore he has his doubts. -Ana as a rule Custom House procedure reverses the greatest privilege In the common law.

Tbe benefit of a doubt In Custom House cases is always given against tbe accused and not in hi favor. Besides, tbe examiner eats bis conscience by knowing tbat tbe Importer baa bis appeal and can demand a reappralsement. I bave In a former communication shown who the Judge in a reappraisement are, tbat is, a salaried om-cial wno is almost-bound to uphold the examiner, and a merchant appraiser, who is. of course, a competitor, and as an umpire we have tbe Collector, wbo again represent the Government in tbe higbest sense. Enough If tbe flat lias gone forth in the first instance woe to tbe Importer.

Is it not sad and lamentable tbat we erman tinder a tariff law tbat will not, or perbaps even can not. take cognizance of position, standing, and character Perhaps at this very moment there may tie large Invoice bung up belonging to: men wbo have been for a generation in our midfct whose character tor integrity Is acknowledged by tbe very fact of being Trustees In savings banks, trust money, bank Directors, Executors of large estates, whose word and honor is never doubted, yet no sooner do they enter the Custom House precincts than tbey are at once degraded and lose caste. Truly our shameful tariff laws under which we have been and ttill are suffering these 25 years have male our Custom Houses, rimilar to Dante's Inferno" over which is written, Abandon hope all ye wbo enter here. Of course, aa I have many time admitted, and reiterate again, that owing to our miserable swindling and exacting tariff, a number of piratical, systematio undervalue have sprung up who are preying on the revenue, and have been for years in collusion witb corrupt. officials, or else their trade could not bave flourished.

But surely thU class of traders is, or at least ought to be, koown by this time, and everybody will be glad to see justice meted out to them. But tbat these dead flies abould be tbe means of "making the whole apothecary's ointment to stink 1 simply sad spectacle fore people wbo always bave valued, and always will value, mercantile integrity and honor as one of tbe best traits In our national character. I am fully aware that tbe Treasury only seeks to carry out toe law as it stands, and tbat tbe relief can only come from Congress. Yet tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury bas nevertheless immense discretionary powers, and, while nobody exoects or wishes bim to use this power to shield tbe habitual evil-doers, be can In many instance mitigate or even prevent the vexation to which tbe numerous booest and large importers are subjected. And of this class tbe most important are the great silk importers, many of whom, notwithstanding the aspersion of the vidocqs and tbe "huhQ up" Invoice, are simply the victims of an Infernal tariff law that impose upon tbem the obligation to prove a market value wbicb is undeflnable.

and punishes them for buying goods and not paying a higher price for tbem than tbe agreement between the buyer and seller calls for. An undervaluation after all in the judgment 01 a iair-minoea, intelligent man, this: 11 1 buy good for lOOf. and pay 1001. for tbem. and Invoice tbem I naturally undervalue willfully my Invoice.

But if I buy. procure, or get up a certain quantity of good tbat actually only cost me lOOf. and that amount is all I pay for It, and invoice it what it cost me, wby should 1 be called upon to swear the market value 1 wben in an honest, straightforward way tney only cost luur.r Ana wby abould 1 pay a penalty of SO per cent, extra duty In New-l'ork because I did not pay tbe man In France or Switzerland 10T. more than we actually agreed on And why, above all, sbould not tbe solemn oath of a respectable man. whose' standing and Integrity Is not doubted, be as potent as an examiner's simple doubt aa to tbe actual cost and market value Ot tbeee goods abroad These are phases In our tariff system which Mr.

Mapping, but above all Mr. Falrcbiid. wbo is making tariff reform, I hope, a study, would do well to consider. If the ooject of our tariff la, as no douot it was lutended to be, so vexa tious as to shut up importations, then, of course, we bave nothing to sayt and only to admit tbat If tbe present law is long enough kept up we nan reacn mat mucu-witnea-ior goal so muca desired by tbe protectionists. But tben will fol low the old Engllsb system of tbe last century smugglers, land sharks, and water sharks, fitill.

I bave better hope in the good sense of tbe peo ple, wbo are ready for a tariff system tbat does pot mean tne destruction or custom Houses or absolute free trade, but a moderate tariff and simple laws to collect toe duties without vexa tion or tbe interference 01 spies. J. 6. MOORE. Nzw-York.

Saw Francisco, July 17. Johnny Skae. who wa known to mining men In thai city and on tne Comstock six year ago a the father of tbe Sierra Nevada bonanza, and who at one Period of his checkered career could alga his Check for IX 000. 000. died here yesterday pov- etty.

Tre history of Skae 1 00 which set out in broad relief the vicissitude of mining specu lation, and ooe which could have been prepared nowhere ale but oa the Pactae coast, at the time when speculation ran riot here and Involved in its meshes everybody who could 00m- mand a double eagle to deposit with tne brokers as a marain. Skae was born In Canada, of Scotch and Irish parentage, end he posse seed tbe shrewdness cf the one nation mingled with the reekiees data of tbe other. He came to California when a boy and learned the business of a telegraph operator. Hs was working for the California Telegraph Company wben toe four bonansa kings-Flood, O'Brien. Macks', and Fair were developing the resources ot tbe Consolidated Virginia and California mine on tne Comtock.

McKay and Fair, who superintended tbe operations at Vtra-lnia City, were In constant communication with Flood and O'Brien in in is city oy means or tbe telegraph, an! aa it was desirable to keep from "outsiders" th real condition of affairs in the mines until th proper time for booming tbem arrived, tbe meoaa-ers used wnat they considered a safe cipher in their dispatches. This cipher Johnny Skae, wbo waa tbe receiver on tbe Virginia City wire, succeeded in interpreting, so tbat be knew of every movement in tbe mines and was apprised of tbe great bonanza In sight for several day before tbe general publlo knew of it. Acting on bis knowledge thus acquired Johnny Invested all tbe cash he ennld rata in tha stock of tbe two mines, and be found no difficulty in securing brokers to advance him tb money to carry large blocks on margin in exchange for tbe secret Information which be gave tn era. ne nought thousands or shares at from 30 to 130. and when th Psciflo count awoke to the fact that tb big bonanza bad really been uDsanDeu jonnny eaae was one or tbe Insiders" In tbe tremendous deal wblcb followed.

He gave up bis desk In the telegraph office and became a oentral fia-ure on CalllorniaatrMt and at the Stock Excbange. When tbe stock began to climb tbe scale of price he dashed reck lessly at toe market, ordering bis brokers to "double up" daily, until tbe stock had reached close to J1.0U0 a share. When tbe deal ended and the tidal wave of excitement bad receded, leaving tbe market strewn with tbe wrecks. Johnny Skae waa t3.000.0uu ahead. Re now went to Virginia City and as- cumou uuuiiut vi 1119 irarinm ana uoia mil ater orks, while engaged in this enterprise be spent "his wealth as recklessly aa did Coal Oil Johnny, of whom he was tbe Western prototype.

His trout breakfasts here will long live in tbe memory of Virginia City gourmets. He bad a pond stocked with trout, wnich were regularly fed and carefully preserved. There was no ex-olusivenees about tbe breakfasts. With Senator Miaron ana Jones Bkae would Invite half of Gold Hill and Virginia, and tbe trout fell easy victims to tbe skill of the Comstock anglers. Wine of the most expensive brands was as plenty a Ice water at tbeae mammoth entertainments, and tbe fameof Jobnnv Skae for months tranaoeoded tbat of any millionaire on tbe Pacific coast.

During all this time Johnny continued to speculate In tbe bonanzas, and be bad himself made President of tbe Sierra Nevada, in whiob Senator John P. jonee waa a heavy stockholder. Sierra Nevada, however, was away down in the market, and nothing in sight wsrnnted any very strong belief In Its future as a productive property. Skae had not the means of knowing tbe Inside workings of tbe Consolidated and California mines tbat he possessed wben a telegraph operator, and, like hundred of others wbo made fortunes In the big deal, he was not prudent enough to unload in time. Tbe result was tbat moat of hla f3.uOG.000 waa steadily gathered In by tbe bonanza king and found It way to tbe vault of tbe Nevada Bank.

Tben came the sudden depression all along tbe Comstock lode wbicb characterized the year 1878. and Johnny Skae, like many other disgusted speculators, started for New.Tork to find new fields for enterprise. On his way be was intercepted by a clauatoh telling him that there were Indications of a bonanza in Sierra 1 Nevada. Be hurried back to Virginia in a special train, examined tbe mine, and was convinced that a bonanza was Just ahead ot the He had but 8.000 shares of Sierra Nevada and not much of hi (3,000.000 clean-up on Consolidated Virginia, but all that bo bad went to hi broker on margins, and tbey were ordered, as of old. to "double up.

They doubled up for the bold speculator, and be bought on bia brokers money until tbe stock, whloh two months before bad been selling at SO cent had reached rrra. John P. Jones waa tben in Virginia conducting bis canvass for Cnlted States Senator. Skae took him into the mine, and tbe Senator Invested nearly all that he could raise in tbe Wben tbe $278 limit had been reached Skae was estimated to be worth 10,000.000, and he became tbe lion of. the hour.

He was hailed as the "father of tbe new bonanza," and his prosDectiv millions wore counted up by bis admirers until Vanderbllt's fortune seemed a mere pittance. Songs were made in bis praise and sn alleged poet described his basty return from tbe East in a parody on Sbetidsn'i Ride," which be entitled "Johnny Skae's Ride," for wbich be waa paid tbe munificent sum of $100 Instead of being hunted down with a shotgun. Tbe report of tbis piece of extravagance spread, and within a week every Bohemian in San Fran cisco who could write 10 lines of dogs-erel wearing a new suit ot clothe and Jingling a few twenty-dollar piece in bis pocket. Johnny was a great poker player, and during this season of his popularity he lost 00,000 in one game at tbe Palace Hotel. 1 But the crash soon eame.

Tbe promised bonanza did not appear, and Johnny Skae went down with tbe crash. Tbe father of the new Bonanza" and tbe princely poker player became in one week virtually a oaupeK He had held bis stock at tbe top fia-ure. and wben tbe crash came bis margin and thoae of his friends were sweptaway.

FREPARIXQ FOR ACTIVE WORZ 1 PLANS FOR BELIEVE? 3 1 GEN. GRANT FROM DISTASTEFUL IDLENESS. Mocnt McGkeook, July 17. It sounded pleasant to Gen.

The General took to both of these suggestions. Dr. Douglas warned him not to tag himself in doing either, but to bear tbem la mind as thing to be done, and to attempt a little at a ub. whenever be pleased. He did not set about either to-day, but tbe remedy for hi discontent bad been applied and waa effectual in that with something to which to look forward be has oeaaed to worry.
