THE WHEELS OF THE CUSTOM HOUSE. Mfetin of tho Public Cartmen? Indignation at tie Hew Rule? Strong Resolutions? Some One in the Removal of A large number the Custom tlouse cartmen assembled at riper's Ma'i, in lileecker street, last evening, to express their disapprobation of tlie late action of the Collector. other meetings have been held for workman's rightsi but, Judging from tho Intellect uai personnel of tlie two or threo dozcu caJteU together at this ball in Bloecker street, one could scarcely imagine that thej should be the surferera in a public benefit. But ho it seems; aud the indignation, which louud full expression in a series of resolutions adopted later lu evening, was very strong among them. 'Hie meeting was called lor eight o'olock; but owing to the absence of the chairman, and wnen all hopes or ills coming were given up, Mr.

1'iewer called the assemblage to order, and Mr. King was appointed chain nan. When the minutes of the previous meeting had been read Mr. Brewer, President of the Carttneu'a Association, arose ami said that what he could learn of the movement ironi the newspaper reports was decidedly favorable; still, those engaged therein should yield to their better judgment, tube the thing coolly as possible and consult with tho higher authority In Washington ana ascertain if there was anything wrong, or if there was any bribery. Thev should lie careful how they spoke 01 aud treated outers, as these very men who apparently w'ere their bitiei enemies, ami whom tuey accused roundly, wuuhl prove to be their best friends.

He hoped the can present would weigh this manor carefully, so uiat nomine should to cause pain hereafter. Mr. Ackkhuak stated, in regard of the transfer of goods from the vessels to the wareliouaM, thut he was miormed by Air. Lttulsley to the (bat the merchants would have their orders checked uuul the 1 -in of February. uut would be the action aiier that dute ha could not say.

The iQjlQW'JBg resoiatlous wore handed to the secretary and read as Kesolvrd, Tl.nt the boudocl public More and ship eurttnen 01 this i'lty aud vicinity, in convention assembled, hereby respoctiuiiy uuil hrmy proteai against the proposition of the Collector ol tins I'ort, or Ills agents, to percentago of our earning lor the support ol tiswljr-creatcd oJDcer, to be called the Ueneral Superintendent of the bonded of ttiis cay una vicinity and tve are under Ootids to this ootineu WHO salety to the government, Vulgarly denominated "sore-headed lartmen" bji the taul Colltteior anil uli nt, and nave been charged with sUallug goods iroui their trucks, we sluiiiiy refer to tue position we lam hclil for many years and tUu estimation we are hold in by our employers, anil we bereny deoy tae tald charge with Indignation and a fcslmg to couberaia that any pi hoidlnn so lii-U ttvier tue (overmaaal would iuhhj "Tlmi 10 be made such a charge uonest, hardworking men. hea'jlrcU.

Kesolved, That wbereai hsve been Informed by the Collector in person liiat o.any of tbe merchants who signed the protest presented to to in some time since against tlie new of cartage havu Informed him that tuey wished to withdraw their mimen Irotn said protest, being ll satlsCtd with the new wnereaa we have mada inquiry among the lcadlug llrms in New signed said protest and have boen unable to find any desiring to withdraw their names; aud, whereas the t'olleetor has refused to furuisb us with the uatnes ol such hrms. resolved, therefore, that unUi such nsnita are we must consider the chargc without foundatloe and false.

0 One 01 the members present tUeu rose and said thut the carcuicu were too slow tlieir action. Tills was an outrage on the community and wa.s done for purposes. Many have been atraid to express their seutimenis, thinking that they were to tie Iuckt ones, aud it was certainly very siruure that live or six men should control eijrtit or nine tiousand cartmen by Infusing tins spirit of fear Into their minds, or himself lie would to have tbe matu taken up at once ami land boiote Hie proper authorities. It was tlicu moved Uiat the lunous should be carried and printed Id the frwudly to theeause; but objection was made to the last remark, as there was no paper which was not friendly to tho movement wbtu 11 came to 1 rearing tbe matter editorially. The remark was withurawu 1 aim the resolutions were tarried unanimously.

some Turtner discussion ensued, showing how the new system worked and how heavily It bore upon the merchants. One ease was cited ot exceeding official laziness or an inattention to business whkoli could not have occurred before the present Collector's new-fauRied ideas were put into operation. The steamer City of London left this port last Saturday witii full cargo, provisions, and tne gooes which she discharged on her arrival and which mould have been carted away a week ago and, been deposited in the merchants' stores, bad not all been removed yesterday morning. Soon after the meeting adjourned, subject to tho caJl of the chair. KAILROAD MISMANAGEMENT.

Coroner Dignau was promptly notified and held an luquest.

TH2 NATIONAL LABOR UNIGK. Proposition to Make Utu tletuK Ita Organ. Washington, Fob. mo. TO TUE FiDtXOtt OF TUB Tho undersigned, oaicial representatives of the National Labor Union, are desirous or procuring a newspaper or national circulation, through which to enunciate the doctrines and purposes or tne organlzattoa.

In most of the States ol thi? Union tlie State and local organizations have the medium of newspapers either established by themselves or in their interest in connection with other purposes. We represent the interests of over ronr of voters, in connection with whom may fairly be added 25,000,003 of people. The official utterances of the undersigned will command a comprehensive hearing, and the action, especially the congressional action, of the antagonists of labor, will demand the occasional repetition of these utterances. We propose to the "New York Ukraui, on account, among other reasons, of its larirer circulation, that it become the medium of the National Labor Union for the object stated In the first paragraph hereof, upon the terms, first, that no communication in the name of 'he National Labor Union be published, except over the signatures of the undersigued officers, or such one or more ol them as they shall in writing authorize. And secondly, mat the 11 skald and the undersigued be entirely Independent or each other, as to the doctrines and pulley or the National Labor Union ami the enunciation ot the measures in connection (herewith.

f'i return for the benefit coulerrnd upon the Labor Union bv the use of journal or such standlugaud circulation in their beliult, 01 winch the undersigned are fully appreciative, It will be for the Her ami to weixh whether the additional sale of the newspaper will compensate. And in this conncctnm, let it be said, it is tho purpose ol the undersigned to press oy every legitimate means the progress to success of the cause and interests of American labor up to tue tune or me next Congressional elections, and to make them a ruling influence in those elections. And iu view or this it la principally mat we now address ourselves to the New Yokk Herald. And wliy? We propose that ourselves and tho paper be each free aud ludepeuUent of the ot'uer. Tho national or pan ot this national cause must necessarily command an extensive additional circulation forthwith.

The amount of It would oe conjectural with us. and could probably be ascertained better by tue exoeriebce of the Hkkald. Nor would ttiere be a heavy pressure upon its columns. The undersigned would, uecessarliy, nave to act only on occasions ol moment; direct and advise the action ot so numerous a body of men; to direct measures in antagonism of an enemy so influential as the enemy of labor, and so powerfully propped and organized, and demand well directed rather than frequent appeals.

To the Working mkn ok the United We, the undersigned, the official representatives ot the National Labor Union, comprising upwards of four million voters, and in connection with whom are involved the interests of twenty-five millions of the American people, mvoKe your attention to a bill now pending in Congress, entitled "A bill to authorise the refunding and consolidation of the national debt, to extend banning facilities and to establish specie payments, introduced by Senator Sherman.

This Mil converts the currency loan made to the government at the rate cf fifty -fire ceuts on the dollar into a gold payment at the rate of l.iu on the dollar, thus furtively reducing the Interest from six to five per cent per annnm. To apologize for the iniquity ot converting a depreciated paper debt into an exorbitant gold payment, yeur currency debt now due, and as it becomes due, can be paid by a government, not a bank currency paper issue, equal to ihe full amount of the debt proposed to be funded by this bill, thus cancelling interest and taxation as a cousequence immediately; and furnishing to the people a circulating medium of the highest value, which uever depreciates, because based, not on the credit of banks, but on the credit of the people themselves; whereas this slierman bill greatly prolongs the gold payment of a currency debt. It will appear that this mode of payment is adopted thcie be collected from the producing classes during the nietiiue or me bonds, and handed over to ihe bondholders as interest, tho aggregate sum of over $3,281,000,000, leaving the principal, 000,000, still unpaid. This bill is skiirully drafted, aud exhibits the oul cropping of the craft. If he draughtsman had an honorarium of for lila lee It could not be more dexterously fitted for its neiarlous purposes.
