The CASE OF JAMES C0LLIER.-The late
whig Collector of San Francisco, arrested in
Ohio under charge Of certain shortcomings in
his accounts with the treasury while in Califor-
MIA has put in plea, through his counsel,
against being tried in San Francisco, on the
ground that, under the constitution and the laws
of the United States, he is entitled to trial in
Ohio. We should think it would matter little
to Colonel Collier, if his books and returns
were perfectly satisfactory, whether the trial
was in California or Ohio; but lawyers will diff
fer in such things. And why not? 1t is all the
same to the government in the end.

DEMOCRATIC WINGS ATTrETIoS.-This even

will meet at the Broadway House, by order OF
James Kelly, chairman. What they arc going
to do we cannot exactly say but we suspect
that business Of great Importance in reference
to the November election, will be taken up for
consideration. The democratic whigs have now
the choice in their hands, either to unite among
themselves and sweep the State, or to throw
the balance ofpoWer into the scale cfthat branch
of the re-diyided democracy, which they prefer
Everything now depends upon the action Of the
wings. Who could have dreamed OF such
thing last November But we live in fast
age, and the destiny Of parties even for six
months into the future have passed beyond the
power Of party politicians to arrange or to FORE
tell. Let the democratic wings tonight. take
counsel Of sound discretion, and act accord
ingly. We must have the question settled--whe-

Hon. r. j. WALLER AND THE CHINA MISSION
One Of our special Washington correspondents
furnishes in another column, q detailed history
OF Mr. Walkers connection with the China
mission. II seems that Mr.. w. was entrusted
with extraordinary powers. such as the HERALD
has always said were requisite to the success of
this most important enterprise ohaye grant
ed them was evinciDg, on the part of General
Pierce, credtable boldness. This is a virtue
always admirable in the eyes Of the people,
1t was this quality which sustained General
Jackson through his successful, extraordinary
and brilliant career.
Nor was Mr.. Walkers power to treat confined
to China, but it extended to Japan and other
eastern countries.
Our correspondent says that when the written
conditions on which Mr.. Walker accepted the
mission, and his letter of resignation to the
President, are published, they will confirm his
statements. Undoubtedly. But when will they
be published They constitute highly inte-
resting and important part of the political his
tory Of the times, and we should like to see the
documents themselves.

VIII the philosophers of the Tribune now find
some new ground Of attack upon Mr.. Walker?
They have pursucd with singular malgnity and
viruenco the great champion Of free trade.
But something must be forgiven to the indrmi-
ties Of human nature II is not surprising that
they should show some gall and wormw.od in
the ink which they spread upon ono who has
done SO mach TO make ridiculous in the eyes OF
the people their darling hobby, protection. But
the ex-Secrctayy can stand it all, and much
more.

The WASHINGTON UNION AND MEssRs. BGoS-

This policy was frankly and freely declared and

Now, by reference to the telegraphic reports

Messrs 'Conor and Bronson, Of their respective
Offices, was O matter Of extreme doubt-yes, ex-
IRENE doubt. Their final acceptance did not
involve their consent thus to harmonic with
Van Buren, and company, hut may be explained,

Mn. DIx's Full. LENGTH GEORGIA LETTER.
We published some days ago short but pithy
letter from Mr.. Dix to DR.. Garvin, of Georgia,
defining his position on the slavery question,
and promising IN early and full length en-
largement upon the points therein laid down.
This full length exposition of his political
principles and antecedcnts we lay before our
readers to-day. A copy OF this letter has been
politely furnished us by Mr. Dix at our request,
on the receipt of information by telegraph offs
publication in Georgia. We must employ the
telegraph to keep pace with the political move
ments of these days. We submit the letter to
the brown study Of the hard shells. Having
gulpcd the Baltimore platform, with some ex-
ceptions. we presume the soft shells will be de-
lighted with this letter of Mr.. Dix. 1t ought to
he read through at the breakfast table, and in
wardly digested during the day.
But what is the matter at Washington? Why
was not Mr.. Dix's small-sized Garvin letter
satisfactory there? five mistake not, it was
publ he'd before the nomination Of John Y
Mason to France; and if we are not mistaken
again, the supposed free soil and abolition
opinions of Mr.. Dix were the obstacles to the
announcement OF his appointment months ago.
Or was it the fact that Mr.. Dix ran as che free
soil abolition candidate for Governor in this
State in 1913, in conjunction with that rampant
wing abolitionist, Seth ". Gates, that " stuck
in the craw' of Governor Marcy? We don't
know. Nor are we likely to know from the
parties concerned yet awhile. Hereafter we
may get at the mystery in the "reminiscences of
some decayed politician who has had finger
in the pie. For the present, let the curious
inquirer into the opinions and political history
Of Mr.. Dix, read this letter. The compromise
measures have been working wonders in these
ATTITUDES. Who comes next?

Our NAVAL EXPLOITS ON THE FISHING GROUNDS.
The gallant officers and crews Of our squad
ron detailed to watch over and protect Arseri-
can interests on the fishing grounds must have
had warm and exciting work Of it all through the
summer. Day after day Commodore Shubrck
and his officers were called upon to maintain
the honor oftheir country, where the champagne
artillery was most incessant, and where many
dozens of bottles-went down among the dead
men. Their exploits in this field of action
were only varied by the occasional transfer Of
the scene Of engagement from the cabins OF
John Bulls men-ofwar-whenever they went of
to watch the fishing grounds-to the saloons Of
the colonial ports of Halifax, Pictou, or Char
lottetown.
And yet, Notwithstanding their very arduous
services in this way. Yankee fishermen have
been found so unreasonable as to grumble at
the conduct of the squadron of Commodore
Shubrick; and to intimate that their interests
were not sufficiently protected by it. The
Captain of one schooner recently informed the
Newburyport Herald that he had cruised dill
gently during the whole season on the most
noted fishing ground, along the coast of Prince
Edwards island, and did not once get sight Of
United States armed vessel although he saw
one or more British cruisers every day.
Now, what could be more unreasonable than
such murmuring? The vessels of Commodore
Shubrick's squadron could not well manage to
be in two different places at the same time; and
if the Commodore considered that the duties
confided to him could he performed as etfectu-
ally, and much more pleasantly, in the Inter
change of Inequalities with English officers
and Colonial municipalities, it was not to be
expected that he should be found cruising along
the gusty ceast Of Prince Edwards Island.
The Commodore very naturally preferred the
convivial way Of doing business; and if the
Provincial cruisers did take advantage Of his
easy going nature, and did modest American
fishermen, deprived of the protection they had
a right to expect, is it entirely fair to impute
all the blame to him? Still, however, the
complaints so unanimously preferred by our
prosecuted fishermen as to the ineficiency OF
the squadron, are entitled to a fair hearing.
Let them have it. We think the government
Should have full investigation made into the
matter. For our part we are inclined to be-
lieye that American interests might possibly
have been better guarded and promoted on the
fishing grounds than they were. And we alss
are inclined to the opinion that our naval ser.
vice might be inestimably more effectual if the
command ofvessels- and squadrons were always
entrusted to men possessing some remnant Of
the fire and energy which youthful blood in
parts, tempered at the same time with the rru-
dence to be derived from experience. At all
events we think that the country might manage
to dispense with the active services of naval
Ingraham. We put the question to Secretary
Dobbin lis it TO so?
