not shadow Of foundation. Fol, although they have
been repeatedly and basely slandered by the Wall
street press, the pilots have always done their duty
honorsbly and fully by them; and any assertion to
the contrary, in any way, from any source,
is as malignant and unfounded SANDER ever was
uttered against one Of the most honorable and high
minded bodies Of men that can be found in any part
of the werld. The whole career Of the New York
pilots give the lie to any such sssertionas the name
ola New York pilot is alone sufficient to give the lie
10 anything that is base or dishonorable.
And, lastly, we would remind the members OF
Congress that all the talk about the competition Of
the Jersey pilots producing increased activity in the
New York pilots, is senseless, and unfounded In
fact. We have twelve New York pilot boats-the
best in the woodland an ample number for our
harbor. To man these boats we have over one hun
dred piots-all active, able, enterprisng, skul
men. Every boat runs in opposition to the other,
that is, every boat is owned by different company
Of pilots, except two, the New York and Virginia,
and these two are owned by the same company So
that we have eleven different firms of New York
pilots, all competing with each other, and all sirl
wing, winter and summer, to excel each.olher. And
this state of things has existed for over year, and
will continue to exist, whether the pilot law Is re-
pealed or not.
These are the facts Of the case and in justice 10
our pilots we trust that Congress Will take the night
view of them, and repeal the law without delay.
The Next MAYOR OF OUR CIrY.-A great effort
is making by the wings in all the nominating eau
cuses, 10 have Gulian C.Verplanck nominated as the
wing candidate for Mayor at the coming spring
election. The Catholic influence that rules the
"Courier" has broken ground for him; and IN con-
sequence of his conduct in the Senate on the school
question, the Catholics are determined to vote tor
him to man. 1t is on the ground that he will get
the Catholic vote of this city, that the Courier
and the wing party are trying to have him nomina-
ted Very well; let him be nominated; Mr. Vert
planck is good man-an honorable mana man o
alent-a gentleman and a scholar. There can be
no harm in trying him. But will he be elected
We shall see.
The "Au1HoRIsEp AoESr.-At last we have
little light on this subject in the following para
graphs So
The Grand Jury Of New York have presented the
Board Of Brokers, the Lnnatic Asylu the Pentenary
the government" for abuse OF the habeas corpus Lew
D. Slamm, editor Of the New Era, was foreman OF the
jury and that paper says that the individual agent
is neither Recorder Tamadge or Judge Moan,
both Of whom the Era says have exercised TINS power
with discretion and propriety who IS the agent
then 7-.4ibany Atlas.
The above is what may be called "cornering" We
have no hesitation in making public the name
OF the authorised sgent" alluded to by the Grand
it is that of James Lynch Of the Judges appointed
under the celebrated Criminal Court Nule'-Ne~
Era.
Very WELL But now then, give us all the facts In
the CASE and let us see how far they subst antiale
the charge.
