10 Committee Of Five, and that they be authorized
by the Chambers TO take legal advice upon the con-

Mr.. BLUsT hoped that the cost would be betrayed

The subject was referred TO a Committee consisting
of Messrs. Phelps, Tileston and Trembe.
Brib1Hg HaT6vr- !HasferS--A Singular COnfessioR.
Mr. BROWN said good deal had been said of late
about biibing HarborMasters. Now it was well known
that Il there were bribers nobody would be brbed.
lie knew that il a very common thing for mer-
chants by loans which they knew would never be
pad and through heiy stevedores and clerks to bride
harbor-Mssters. He sincerely hoped for the sake OF
the rising generation that every merchant would
henceforth resolve to be honest. To effect this,
said he - hardly know what to propose but think
that would probably be the beet way Tor us 10 meet
nj the Merchants Exchange and there with one heart
resolve that We will never never give bride TO
Harbor-Mastcr again. Subsequently he moved q
resolution to refer the subject to Committee OF 1--WE
10 report mode Of reforming the improprietes
in their official intercourse with Harbor Masters. The
Committee consists Of Messrs. j. II. Brewer, E. z.
Morgan Ed IIincken Moses II. Grinnel, T. Tleston.
The president was reelected unanimously for an
other wear and returned thanks for the honor in neat
speech announcing his intention OF declining once
after this year. Mr. Royal Phelps and Hr. A. a.
Lane were elected Vice Presidents.
The Chamber then adjourned for two weeks when
the election Of Pilot Commissioners will take place
