contemplating an entire Reorganization of the Aims
House and Bellevue establishment and we have
collected few hints the subject, shall give
them on another day for their benefit without charge.
Tlae New York pilots.
For some time past, the Pilots of New York have,
on many occasions, gone out to sea- far as oppo-
site the east end of Long Island in meeting vessels,
and bringing them into port, Yet it has often taken
place, that the Of such vessels would not al
low the very pilot who exhibited such activity and
ardor, to take the vessel 10 sea, has always
been customary in similar cases .eretofore--pre-
ferring, from prejudice and Spite to give their job
to some of the Jersey oaferq who are now crus-
ing about Communpaw and Staten Island, in search
Of ships on the water
Thereon changes in the Pilot laws may have been
wise or not-tme will show. We shall not argue that
point The camor against tkc New York Pilots
originated in the Courier and Enquirer, during very
season last year, when several unfortunate
shpwrecks took place at Rockaway beach As a
body of men, and embracing course of years, will
be found that the New York Pilots are as able as en-
ergetic prompt skilful faithful set OF fel-
lows, can be found in any country under heaven.
1t would, indeed, be an utter disgrace to their
standing and their capacity to compare them, for
enc moment with the ignorant loafers from the
fresh waters Of New jersey now picking up a
ship here and there, and carrying her Out to sea,
in the soft summers breeze. The lamentabe
shipwrecks, and destruction of human life, which
ook place last year, measurably occasioned by
the elements. The very same prints and politicians,
4 who mournea over these events then, now en-
gagged in throwing up every obstacle to the ntroduc-
ton of similar passengers lnte the city. The camor
against the Pilots political than otherwise.
We will not deny tina, during that mclcment sea
son, some remissess may have happened, but since
the wreaking up Of public attention, we will ventnr,
to say that the New York pilots have exhibited traits
of industry and activity, which ene them to NOR,
consideration from the owners of the line packets
than they are now receiving When New YORK
pilot meets packet 100 l50 miles at sea, is no.
fair that he should have the job on board the same
vessel when she sails Yet on several occasions o.
late this rule of justice and of equity has been viola
ted We could mention several instances, but shall
not I'LL we see if any reformation take place.
The conduct of the several lines is prompted by too
petty spte-not manliness-not justicc-not mag
nanmity. 1t is poor mode of management at The

FORE give these ntruders the preference in smooth
summer seas The New York pilots have laboree
for years their profession II is their sole depend
epce. They understand it thoroughly. They are a
competent for winter rs for summer piotage. Thu
Jersey pilots ignorant land lubbers without an
character, experience, or responsibility. Even ,oda
one Of them will be broke for his incsmpetency.
We do verify believe therefore, that the line shi
owners have sufficiently gratifed the soft feeling
Of love- in the inequable treatment already extende,
towards the New York pilots. Let the ship owner
and the New York pilots shake hands and max
friends. They only are capable Of suiting each oihe
through all seasons. The Wall street prints have ex
