Mr.. BORLAND. Before that proposition is disposed of
want to make inquiry OF the senator from Massa
chuset,s in reference the State OF Arkansas He will
recolec that bill passed the Senate time ago-I
think it has passed the House yet, bet have
doubt il wil-puiting the rivers OF Arkansas, or the
same footing those Of other States The general law
now not providing for the appointment OF inspectors by
the district Judges 10 the States which are not collection
DISTRICTS this bill passed for the benefit OF Arkansas,
giving to the district judge of the United States there the
same power OF appointing which the same judges have
| in other States SILL there is no port OF entry in Ar
kansas but il will be necessary at the time 10
make provision for inspection at Little Rock, be-
there important steamboat interests there aud
lney are becoming more anu more SO every year
| Mr.. DAVIS. believe stated upon former occasion
that il quite impossible nor do deem necessary,
that there should be inspectors IN every collection dis
| irict There is but in Maine, and one in New
Hampshire. There is none in Rhode Island and in
Connecticut There is one set OF inspectors in New
York, and in New Jersey; sci in Philadelphia,
one in Baltimore in Norfolk, one in Charleston, and
one Savannah. Now, the rivers much more
abundanily supplied than the sea-coast but have
made this arrangement we have supposed that in regard
10 all the steamers at terminus the other OF the
voyage will come TO place where there inspectors
Hence il is, that in many districts have made none
but if she visits place where there are inspectors there
she get the business done But suppose that there
may be exceptions TO this rule, and OF the chief
ends OF appointing these nine supervisors TO accom-
modate these very districts that destitute and por
tons OF the county that are destitute OF inspectors
at hand We have empowered these gentlemen in all
such to examine aud grant certificates, and we want
to try that experiment We think IL will meet all Tue
convenience you want and it will meet another difficulty
When you enter many parts OF The country il will not be
easy 10 find men qualified TO do these duties, We want
with The requisite qualifications 10 make these inspec
tlons-men suitable Tor The dues, and who will under
take 10 carry out the system in good faith. We suppose
al The points we have named such men can be found
do not mean say they cannot be found in Arkansas
In many places know they can, where they not APP
pointed. But we have appointed about many the
evenae will bear, and have left little practice and
little experience 10 decide whether local inspectors
wanted al other points; and II they are, suppose Con-
gTess viii furnish them. But think that these super
yisng inspectors will visit the Red river, the Arkansas
river the Missouri, the Mississippi and the Illinois
efs-yis all those points. That IS part OF the duty
imposed upon them, and one OF the chief ends OF APP
pointing them. And we expect 10 have very good
appointed for those States that have local inspectors
We are in hopes, al least, that the system will work
kindly, and will suit the convenience of everybody.

Is no place in the world where we DO need rigid in
speclion so much as IN my own States for no State has
ever been much imposed upon and imposition has
ever been so gross and injurious.
