STR AVIS

IT'S said "a drowning man will catch at
straws' We think the Wing has verified the
adage, in its articles of the 9th instant. II makes
only two points, that come within our province
20 notice, in its assault on the verdict of the in .
lelligent jury which sat al the Custom House
TO hear aud decide on the charges brought by
tina, paper against the late Collector. The first
is as follows, and is a straw Of very slender di-
mensioDs
"Py the published proceedings, il ap.
pears that only ONE mentioned by US was
examined-he was Democratic was one
who urged upon the department at Washington
The propriety of Captain Nelson's removal he
still thinks the removal ought TO have been
made, and testified before the jury that the
Collector, 'USwARRASTED BIT THE LAW AND the
rAcrs.' imposed fine upon him.
Now, for the information Of the Wing, we
will state that the witness above alluded TO WAS
not the 'only one mentioned by il, who appear
ed before the jury. Messrs Edmond q DaVen-
port, and the Messrs. Haxall, were mention
edit we mistake mol. Members from each
of those firms, and members, too, who perform
ed the Custom House business Of those trims,
toers present and testified. The jury thought
their evidence sufficiently strong to warrant the
verdict which they found. Blu, IA word with
regard to this "Democrat," who "testiied" that
the Collector had Imposed a foe upon him
unwarran.ed by tho law and the facts. We
have yet to learn (unless he was under The IN
struc,ion OF the "Senior Editor" Of The "h's)
wha, opportunities Mr.. John J. Paris THE per-
son referred ,ol has had to acquire knowledge
of United States law superior TO that OF Messrs'
mcfarland, Lyons, and the rest of the intelligent
jury who sal on the case; or what "facts ne
could bring forward Of greater dignity than the
fuu record evidence exhibited. Why, If Chief
Justice fancy had delivered an opinion on the
questions, it could not have been paraded with
greater confidence. The fact is simply this,
that Mr.. Faris, in palpabls violation OF law,
las the Wing can ascertain BY taking the trouble
to refer to the statute removed from vessel,
bound 10 Riohmond from foreign port, por-
