sAILoRs.-The new system Of shipping

seamen adopted by ship owners in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore went
into operation ON the first inst. 1t abolishes
The practice Of advance ges in cash to
seamen; and instead of it proposes to furnish
proper outfit in clothing, ut cost prices, and
an extra compensation of ten per cent on the
wages of those who return in the ship, and
perform their duties faithfully Under the
old practice Of giving one to three months
wages in advance, on signing the shipping
papers, sailors have, for years, bcc:: the vic
tins Of set of harpies who have acted as
sailor boarding-ho keepers and shipping
agent, whose principal business has been to
contract with ships, about to sail, to furnish
their entire crews, according to order. These
men inveige the sailor to their houses, and
by oil sorts of arts spuDge upon him rs long
as he has penny, then run up an accoant
against him for liquor and board and loans
at spunging rates, till it is enough to covers
his advance on long voyage. and then shin
Inn under contract, and take. his W Of
advance for their debt, and the poor tar goes
to sea on. q long voyage, with. scracely cloth
Il
ing enough to cover his nakedness.
These boarding hells not only rob the sail
or, but deprave him by leading him into all
sorts of vicious indulgencies by which hi:
money can.be got from him. Seamen's homes
established by bene .olcnt persons in. almos,
every sea port, have done much to preserve
sellers from these dens of dissipation (; bu
the latter have agents too active, and theil
game is too profitable to be put down by thei,
conscientious rivals. Sailors are taken from
ships, almost by force, on their arrival il
port, and dragged Off TO these vicious places
and when once within their gates they dom
escape till they are thoroughly ''cleaned out
and half their wages in the next long voyag
secured by their inveiglers, in the shape o
advance. 1t has long been a crying and era
ell abuse in all large sea ports.
BY refusing to make advances anddiSpens
ing with the services Of shipping .ageats, an,
contracting directly with the seamea them
selves, it is hoped the infamous traffic afsail
or landlords may be broken mp and it, evil
remedied. 1t meets with resolute opposition
from the class it is designed to pat down, an
who profess Ia be Jacks peculiar friends, an
unfortunately exercise much influence owe
him. The first days OK pertinent Of Che ne.
system is very encouraging. The ships wer
supplied without officially with sober an
good'men.

20 The Enquirer is very smart and val
orous in defence of the fame of Dubois eoun
ty, which we presume is the chief theatre OF
its circulation and Of lis glory. 1t is ther,
only that It's high literary merits and enter
prise are fully appreciated. 1t is but natural
the Enquirer should bestow its applause in
return upon people of its own kidney. We
nave no desire to disturb this mutual admira-
ton of friends, but to make it stronger and
more durable, we would suggest That by re-
moval the EaQuirr could perhaps find its
more genial sphere somewhere in those re-
gions. --..

Indianapolis will require 900 from the
city to continue the schools another year,
which is nearly the amount we ask in Ev-
ansville.
In Lafayette ~ " 100
In Richmond - I" 100
And in Evansville fifteen cents on the 300
is the most ever levied, and we only ask an
additional tax of ten cents on the one hun
drsd dollars for the purpose of erecting a
suitable school building. The Act of the
Legislature of Indiana, approved March 9Th,
1855, no doubt gives cities and towns ample
authority to levy any amount of tax needed
for schools and school buildings. ~

The letter wcs sent OF private hands, in
order it should anticipate the mails, but un-
fortunstely Il vas delayed beyond the time
sccuPied BY our slow post. or the subject
would have been presehtbd,to the Council at
Its sitting on Monday. 1t is an Important
question to the city ,'thatnlust be. decided at
once; our own Vows in regard to the duty
and the interests of the city, have been SO of
ten expressed that we shall. not reiterate them.
A decision against issuing the bonds would
1--WE believe-be injurious to the credit and
reputation Of the city. Halt million dol
lars have been expended upon the roau; four
ffths of the grading il already done. To
s5an3on So mportaat am enterprise in its
present condition, fsons inability to eemple' q
L., would be q serious reflection upon the
character of the city; to permit it to anguish
and stop, through timidity or rival jeai-
ousies, would render Us contemplate.
The principal objections alleged to the is
sue Of the bonds, ars,fhat if Tho road be com
pleted only to tas srossing, it would be val
ueless; and the contractors having finished the
road to that point, would get their pay fol
the first section and abandon the further
prosecution of the work, and the wholeent
prise would result in an abortion.
These allegations are obviously inconsis-
tent. The contractors receive their wholt
dpafiin the obligations of the road. Ii the
road proves worthless, lis bonds will be value-
,flssa, md the. eontraetqrs will get nothing TO
their expenditures of near half million, TO
