Strange rumors are afoat with regard to obsta-
cles which are said to be thrown in tho way of
trade with New Orleans by United States officials
in authority at that port. 1t is commonly stated
among merchants that it is impossible to obtain
clearance of cargo of sugar or cotton without
paying douceur to some one. 1t is likewise
stated that, all the tugs being in the hands of the
government officials, sailing ships cannot get up
to the city from the Passes without purchasing
from some one the right to hire tug at an enor-
nous figure. These stories are probably unfound
ed or much exaggerated; but they are current
and generally credited we have thought it right to
mention them, in order that the officials at New
Orleans may be aware Of what is said of them
here and likewise that the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury may institute any inquiry which may be pro-
per on the subject Rumor makes very free with
names in connection with these alleged irregular-
ties.
