curious story OF both tho means TO which
Messrs WEBSTER & CRAIG resort to obtain
business and the manner in wh.eh they ca
ry it On. 1t appears that on the day of the
seizure, tho defendant HAwKswoRTu was
met rs he was coming out Of the Custom
House by person who urged him to secure
tho assistance Of WEBSTER & CUAIu, OH
the ground that they had great experience
and unusual facilities for tho settlement of
such matters Acting upon such advice,
HtwNswoHTu employed the plaintiffs. lie
alleges that lac was at the tmc aud is still in n
very feeble condition, bodily and mentally.
and that the plaintiffs excited his apprehension
and alarm by representing that he was in
danger of Imprisonment, and that great and
ruinous disaster would beiail the firm unless
some compromise could he effected with the
Government. They said that such com
promise could only be effected by hir per.
s0ndl IN futRce 9th GOcorRB,cHt officers, and
by the mourning Of obligations to the Govern
ment or tie officers TO the amount Of from
10000 to $4,000. and that they would in
cur such LEGATIONS aud effect settlement
of the several suits, If he would give them q
writing (of which he should keep no copy
undertaking to pay h em $4,000 when they
should accomplish such settlement. Ac-
cordingly, he wrote and delivered to them n
paper promising TO pay them the above sum
if they would make An immediate settle
nent' of said suits.
The suits were settled and the goods re-
leased, and the dispute now is whether this
result was brought about Ivy the cxertions Of
WEBSTER & CRAIo, or, az the defendants
contend. by their own personal application to
the Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t seems to
be admitted, however that tho basis of the
bargain was the supposed personal innu.

The Excise Bill.

The Excise Lil came near being dc.
cisivcly voted down in the Assembly on
Friday last, and was saved from that fate only
TO lie referred to the Judiciary Committed
In what manner II will be amended in the
Committee remains TO be seen hut II does not
seem probable that it will ever pass In its
original form.
Whatever other changes may be made in
this bill, II should certainly be 30 amended as
TO allow Of greater range in the rates OF
charge for licenses. The bill fixes one hun
bred dollars as THO maximum price; but
while in many cnscs this would be a fair rate,
there is no reason for making IL the utmost
limit. In this city there are fifty establish
ments that can well afford to pay five hun.
dred dollars agar for the privilege of selling
liquor; and why should these aristocratic
institutions not be made to contribute their
