A paper has recently been issued in New
York entitled The Norihern Picayune. -
The Pittsburg Sun in relation to it says,
The paper itself IS we'll enough, perhaps
above the common standard, but the selec-
ton Of such name invites a comparison
which must be injurious. The Southern
Pioayune is unaPproachabo."
We look upon this language Of the Sun as
conveying a compliment in the seventh de-

to the Southern Pic.

FOR THE WING.

Mr.. Sieuens: Can be informed by you,
or through you. by any merchant here con-
nected with New Orleans Cotton Commits
sion House, how it is, or why it is, that the
charge Of drayage, storage, weighing and
labor is by one merchant charged 10 or IS
cents, by anolh er Is o: IS cents g. by anotA-
er As OF so cents per bale.
This charge of drayage, storage, &c, varies
so much, (last season a variance Of 40 cents
per bale with some merchanls) that il is very
hard to be understood what are the duties
or real expenses arising under this charge;
40 cents per bale was more than half the
freight paid on much of the Gotten shipped
from this city last season, and if pOcketed,
made an equivalent Of per cent. on sales,
at the low price Of last crop. This may be
locked at as a worn subjset, well Haganieed,
admit it, and yet the outrage and fraud lie
none the less. beg for information, and
wish 10 learn If the difference in charges lie
Legitimate, and if not to be arrived at here,
will you elicit information through the New
Orleans presses. A SHIPPER.

The following frank. honest confession, We
commend 10 the notice of our truth loving
locofooo Editors, who are so given to atlribut-

=" It is idle nonsense, it is an insult TO the
intelligence Of the American people to say
that the overthrow and defeat Of the party
in 1910 was caused wholly by the articles
and decisions Of our opponents, the wings,
every candid and ingenious mind must
admit that the personal unpopularity Of the

was carried by the wings after very severe

ceived 607 votes, and the wing 488. This
year, the wing ticket has 596 votes, and the
loco $40. Eleven out of the fourteen alder
men elected are whigs. The result proves
that Savannah is revoluiionized, and secures
wing majority in Chatham county Georgia,
which has usually gone for the locos.
