above accident, thrown out of the receipt OF

New JERSEY AND THE PILOT LAws.-Thc most
unmitigated piece ofimpudence that ever came to
our knowledge, is that recently perpetrated by the
little State of New Jersey-the same which resorts
to the contemplate system of levying black mail
to recruit its finances, and which lays over to each
successive session her Legislature, resolutions
creating literary institutions. While this State
has her hands continually in our pockets, collect
ing black mail tax on every one who crosses
her territory, her Legislature passes resolution
calling on the Congress of the United States not
to repeal the odious and unjust law passed in the
year 1887, by which our New York pilots have
been nearly ruined in their business. New Jersey,
without any tonnage of her own, except lew
oyster boats, steps in between New York and
Congress, and uses it's small influence to perpe-
tuate a law, because, forsooth, few of her own
citzens-her Jersey pilots-are allowed to levy
black mail on our shipping and on our pilots.
A pretty State New Jersey is to talk of the
necessity of free rsde--a State full of monopolies,
from end to end-and whose very State govern
ment descends to the paItry trick Of lrvyng black
mail, like the "bold baIons" Of old, on all who
get within her clutches.
