Ml I.PHY'S FAREWELL FROM THE rRE.SS.NOW MKKAK THE t UHTOM-IIOfbE KINUS.
from The bvXJakt Ktprms.It is expected tbat the election will be speed¬
ily followed by the ntiremeut of Mr. Murphy from theNi w York Custom House, either by resignation or io-
moral, to the end that tbe greatest stumbling-block Inour ranks shall be removed. Hjmiliar action must siso liehud in the Ilúdalo District, where an equally offensive,objectionable and unfit person still retains power.
