WE clip the following, which is OF interest to
shipmasters, from the Liverpool (England) Jour-
nal Of Commerce, of a recent date:
What are the American COnsul's Powers!
To the Editor OF the Journal Of Commerce.
Sir: Captain o. ]. Bishop, master of the ship T.
]. Southard, Of Richmond, Maine u. S., having
gone to sea under protest OF the American Consul
at this port, should feel obliged by your giving
publicity the following statement of the captain,
which may be of use to those masters and mer-
chants who do not understand the exact reading
of the law, and what the law actually is in refe-
renee to the disrating of officers and seamen in
American ships. AS shipmaseers at present
derstand the law of the United States, master has
power TO disrate an officer or seaman after an alb
sence of twenty four hours without leave. For
twenty -four hours absence, without leave an
officer or seaman forfeis all wages due and after
forty eight hours he forfeis all wages, goods and
chattels In some instances three days pay is de-
Quoted for every day IS Absence instead of the full
penalty being Imposed. The facts in connection
with the T. j Southard are these:-When the ship
arrived in Liverpool laden with deals, and was
placed in berth for discharge the captain ordered
me chief mate that the crew assisted in land
ing the cargo and that the second mate superin-
tended and assisted them The second mate OBJ
iected and went on ehore to the Consul, whereupon
the Consul sent for the captain, who made state
ment at his Office The Consul then ordered the log
book TO be prod and the book having been for
warded, nothing more transpired for few days,
and the second mate absented himself from the snip.
The cantain afterwards had occasion 70 go 10
the Oousul's office, and the Consul then told him
that ne would have 70 pay three months wages
extra for the second mate on account of putung
HIM to snpeTintend and assist In the discharging
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-12-14

OF the cargo After this the steward, who had also
absensed himself applied for his discharge, al
tho0 gh the articles stated that he and the second
mate had shipped for voyage from New York TO
o timber port in North America, thence to Liver
pool and other foreign ports, and back to the
United States The captain told him that he could
not give him more than one-third of his wages
due mp to the arrival In port, as that was the Oon
suls order, and the law of the United States pro-
vided that an officer or seaman could claim that
amount but did not state that the captain was I S
bic 10 pay more The captain, therefore, paid the
advance of one-third, but the steward was not
satisfied, and again went to the Consul, ana .ne
The Consul having heard the captain, held that he
had acted rightly and legally and sent tne ste"asu ~
on board ship. In the meantime, however, the
captain had enployed mother steward owing to
the desertion or absence OF his hrst stewards but
when the old steward came on board he set him to
clean the brass work and paint and to clear the
cabin floors, which he considered part OF a
sfevyard;s duty, and which the steward had
at ttuaIIy been in the habit of doing on the voyage
from New York round to Liverpool The captain
further told the steward that he must go as a
passenger, and the steward was not allowed
10 cook or to wait. The Consul held the
ships papers, and the ship detained two
days in consequence. During this time the
steward went on shore, where he met the second
mate, who advised him TO go again to the
Consul, as he would get three months extra pay,
He went to the Consul's office, and did not again
return TO the ship, The T. j. Southard then cleared
at the custom house, and the captain applied at the
Consuls office for the ships papers, but the Consul
detained her register, crew list and articles, and
refused to deliver them up unless the captain paid
ESQ extra for the second mate and steward, which,
of course, he refused to do, stating that he would
not allow his owners to be robbed in any such
manner, but that he would let the case go to the
United States Supreme Courts. The vessel then
had to go to sea without the second mate or stew
ard the captain could not induce them to return
ON board, and the ship sailed under protest. The
master of the T. J. Southard is naturally very
much surprised at the action adopted by the Con-
sui, and cannot understand that the articles made
out by anotary in the United States are according
to the Oonsuls view, not worth the paper upon
which they are written, and that the Consul ls
armed with supreme power to act contrary TO the
letter and spirit of all the Congress relating
ters of ships for years past. The master also com
plains of very great irregul8riy in the conduct OF
business at the American Consular Office at Liver
pool, which causes great annoyance and throws
immense difficulties in the way of shipmasters.
Surely, sir, these are matters which demand some
investigation, some explanation, from the
American Consul and Vice. consul at this port.
Yours, &C., AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN.

MAsrERLY INAcr1v1rY.-Th New
Orleans Bee, closing q review of the
constitutional amendment and the
demands of the North, says:
I'VE see no other policy open to
the Southern people with respect to
national politics but masterly mac
tlvlty; pursued to the bitter end with
4 resolute patience, behind which, as
behind an impregnable wall, they
may address themselves diligently to
all matters that concern their mate
rial prosperity"
We see many evidences that this
will be the purpose of the South.
The people there will, for the time,
abandon politics, and leave the con
sequences to themselves, and the
country with their radical persecut-
ors. The whole country, and, MS a
matter of course, the South with it.
will suffer from this coercion. for
there will be no stability in trade, no
substantial order in Government.

The Two Glasses.

The Louisville Democrat. which
thought that ''the war should be
vigorously prosecuted that the Union
should be preserved" in a recent
issue, has the following sensible view
Of the situation in which the men of
the South are placed. It presents
two pictures-"the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of two sets of people.
Although. as our own people know,
there is nothing new'in the picture,
yet, as it is presented below, it is
worthy of consideration:
''Ihere were earnest Union menin
the South, who did their best against
secession, but who at last went with
their States into the support of the
sConfederacy. They could not be
loyal to the Government of the
United States, for they had no pro-
lection by the United States. There
were others who deplored the acts of
secession, and never voluntarily aided
It. These latter have generally made
no ado about it. They still kept the
respect of their neighbors, submit
llng to the necessity OF the times.
we don't find this latter class
cnttlng a figure now in the North,
making harangues and abusing their
nelShbors, amongst whom thev have
lived. They have no taste for the
employment.
There are men South, however,
VINO are OF different stripe, who are
now martyrs to the loyal cause, who
dld what they could in behalf of
secession, when their support of it
was most effectual, and became con-
verted just when Federal power be-
came dominant again"
We think that the above is one of
the best descriptions of political
hypocrites we have read. We detest
a man who now tells us that he was
always in favor of the Union, when
we know he labored for the Confede
rate cause, in which he was also a
hypocrlte. The true secessionist of
lo6o IS the best Union man of 1866,
ana can be trusted further than the
neW-Hedged '1oyal" men of the
South.

MAKE MORE OR OF YOUR CorroS
The Nashville U,sion and american
says:
Make oil from the cotton seed, and
alter expressing the oil, use the
"cake' for cowfeed or fuel. BY this
means, you get all that can be derived
from cotton-planting. The oil is worth
from S1.75 to So per gallon-the cake
will sell readily for 81 to Sc per ton.
OF course every planter cannot have
a cotton seed oil factory, but every
large cotton-growing district can. 4
gentleman who is in the business in
a neighboring State, informs us that
with an outlay of $4,000 for ma
chlnery' ne is making 800 gallons per
day. A little knowledge of figures
applied will show that there is a fine
opening for profit insuch enterprises
in the South.

THREE PARTIES. The Washington
correspondent Of the New York He
rall says:
There are parties in this city-who
are neither radicals nor conserva
tives-who are closely Watching the
course of events preceding the meet
ing of Congress. These gentlemen
say that when Congress meets, and
the radicals view the situation, they
will not, as q body, support the move
ment of an attempt to impeach the
President; that there will be three
parties in Congress on this question
the out-and-out radicals, the radically
democratic and the moderates-and
that the latter party will be able to
manage the other two. These gen
tlemen are Of opinion that there will
be no necessity for impeachment.

pondent writes:
Chief Justice Chase is at the White
House again this evening, in con-
sultation with the President upon the
subject of the compromise measures
which the leaders Of both the princi-
pal parties are now urging upon Mr..
Johnson. The compromise is said to
consist in offering to the people of
the South general amnesty, in corei-
deratlon OF their accepting univer al
suffrage, with q qualification either
of property or intelligence. 1t is be-
heved that this measure will be well
received by all parties. The Presi-
dent seems inclined to give the sub
Ject fair and full consideration.
