ENGLISH NEUTRALITY" ILLUSTRATED.
The New York Tribune publishes a COM
plete list of the American vessels. with
the tonnage of each, which have been
transferred to other tlags-mainly Eng
lish-because English neutrality built,
equipped, armed, and manned piratical
cruisers who made it their business to
plumber and burn our merchant marine
wherever they came across it. The total
burden of these vessels amounts to five
hundred thousand tons. Not a single
steamer has crossed the ocean during the
past four years carrying the mails and
passengers over which hoated our flag.
England, France, Bremen, Hamburg, and
even Sweden and Russia, were doing that
work. There seems to have been COM
bination organized by the force of cir
cumstances to drive US from the ocean
entirely 1t was not an unfrequert
thing for seven foreign steamers to sail

Negro License in louisville.
From the Louisville Journal

Upon every hand we hear loud COM
plaining that the negro servants in Lou.
isville, instead of being a benefit, are a
great nuisance 1t is impossible to rep
rimand negro without being threaten
cd with Gen. Palmer. They say that he
General has determined they shall not
be imposed upon. and that they will
work when they please. Now, We Will
not censure Gen. Palmer, for We do not
believe that he has authorized negroes
to use his authority to abuse or insult the
gentlemen and ladiesf0f our city, who
hire them as house servants; but we will
say. that, if there is any protection at all
given to the negroes to compel persons
employing them to hlfl all contracts
made with them by paying the sum
agreed to for their services, whether
they work or not, there should be pro-
lection enough given TO our citizens to
compel the negroes ito fulfil their con-
tracts, and if General Palmer will not
do what we see military authorities are
doing in the extreme South, viz: com
pei the negores to fulaatheir obligations,
the citizens of LouibTille should adopt
their own measures % prevent worthless
negroes from imposing upon them.
We know of many disgraceful cases of
servants leaving their homes 1--WE don't
say masters; for we ourselves would not
aspire to that proud title) and going to
headquarters with cSmplaints against la
dies in whose empbyment they have
been. And more tfisn this: we know OF
negroes being protected and assisted by
the guards on duty 81 the city in intimi-
dating the ladies into paying them mon-
ey that was not rea1ly due Shall this
be borne3 Shall ths people of this Lon
isville acknowledge 10 the world that, as
the negro has advalted TO freedom, they
have been degrade nearly to slavery :
We say no. The lnedy is simple, 1t
only needs unanim6n be action. 1t is this:
On and after the d. Of August let it be
generally understoa that no9negro shall
be employed in L6nisvi1le who cannot
produce . certi6cs4 Of good behavior

every one think ofs4his, aad determine
