Secretary Foster, when asked whether it was true that Collector Erhardt had resigned six weeks ago, as reported, he replied: "Yes, his resignation was in the pre dent's bands before I went out to Ohio." "Were the reasons he assigned the same which he gave to the press last nightr "Substantially the same. He had aa idea that Mr. Piatt was interfering with the appointment of subordinates in tbe custom house. I dou't know just what special grounds in ba5cd this complaint THE OLI COLLF.CTOIL upon. Mr. Piatt has not interfered In anything of the sort since I became secretar3' of the treasury. I fancy tho feeling between the two gentlemen was of long standing. The reason why the resignation was made final oc curred, however, after the collector's letter had been in the president's hands for some time. I refer to the cutting down of the custom house force. We were obliged on account of tho refusal of congress to make adequate appro priations, to economize on all sides. We entered into correspondence right and left, and the collectors generally, to whom we applied, signified their willingness to submit to reductions. Col. Erhardt stood out howevor, as- TOE NEW COLLECTOR, sorting that he could not get along with a smaller force and do tho business of his otlice prop erly. We sent special agents to investigate the matter, and on tho strength of their report, we decided to reduce expenses in New York by some SbO.000 a year. CoL Erhardt took this very much to heart, I believe." "Is Mr. Fassctt still Mr. Piatt's choice for the office?" "Mr. Fassctt's appointment was de cided on by the president to tho best of my knowledge, without anybody pushing him. The president has had him in mind for some time." MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
