CUSTOMS GRIEVANCES. TO THE EDITOR or The “Howɑning Telmoraph,” SIR-With reference to the letter alga-d "Fiat Janliis Rust Cœ'um," which appeared a few evenings ag›In your tely reid paper, the stats- ments are somewhat exaggerated, and do noi exhibit a very high degree of calfare on the put he writer. The outdoor shift is not likely to gain much by this kind of advocacy. No doub it would be well if there were some system by which men could rise from the lower to the apper grades; but, as gards the general attitude of the indoor members towards the outdoor, I canarly saw as the result of many years' expe rience in the latter depatment, that I have always found them in every sense of the word, gentlemen. There may, of course, be exceptions bqt they are few and far between.
