FOR THE MAplsoNlAN.
THE PILOT LAW.
MR. EDITOR

Mr.. EDITOR:
From the zeal manifested by some few individuals
against the repeal of the act of Congress of 1887,
you might be induced to suppose that some such law
imperatiyely demanded-that it was cautiously
matured and its merits deliberately canvassed before
II received the sanction Of Congress-that subsequent
experience has demonstrated its beneficial effects and
corroboraed the reasoning by which its advocates at
tempt to defend it. 1 will not occupy, in this com
muncation so much of your columns will be re-
quired to touch all these topics. will, fov the
present, but glance at one or two Of them.
In the first place, was the law of 1887 the offspring
of careful inquiry and deliberations Did il pass after
full discussion and understanding of its meritsi
can answer these queries, without hesitation, in the
negative Amid the hurry and confusion Of the close
of short session, its character wholly unnotced
if j remember rightly by single member
who proposed the postponement of question SO per-
picking, till time should be given for deliberate egis
lation the Pilot law of 1887 not passed. but to
the fashionable and expressive phraseology, was
rode Though Its friends seemed afraid to have il
subjected to any scrutiny; they afraid to have its
true character made known and, with indecent haste
therefore, il wasas often happens in similar
shufled through, when the hurry Of the closing
sion hid its deformtes. n priori, can we suppose
a law SO passed. characterized by the wisdom which
should govern the legislation of great representa-
tive body, on question of much intrcacy and inn
portance Looking at the mode in which the law
was passed, can any doubt exist that the subject
should be at length maturely considered and the law
either repealed or completely remodelled The
manner in which it intruded into the statute book
think sufficient to create a prejudcatlon IN every
dispassionae mind against it. Were there no other
reason this is sufficient to induce revision of it, On
It's other characteristics shall offer some comments
in future communications,

THE SHIPPING INTEREST.

We published not long since some remarks and
statements respecting the injury to which our ship
ping interest subject by the unequal oper ,ton OF
the existing commercial arrangements in force be-
tween the United States and Great Britain. 1t was
shown that unfair preferences secured to British
ships over own even in the transportation of our
own products, and that the rapid increase of British
tonnage in our ports was an alarming indication OF
the results of the treaty of $780, the further effects of
which It not avered, would be TO transfer the larger
portion of our own carrying trade to British bottoms
The National ln,elligencer of Saturday contains a
letter from firm in Savannah, the statements OF
which 10 the same point In ref renee to list of

will be pursued by our Government at the present
time can scarcely be doubted. When the dispatches
now on their way from Mexico reach Washington,
we may look out for decisive action. If John Tyler
is the man we take him 10 be, he will give the Mex
