Neither they nor we objectto Robinson &
Co. as ferrymen-but they insist that the
charter shall be granted to- the people, and
then If Robinson a Co. will pay more than
other paties, the city will give them the right
to ran ferry. They do not propose or ex-
pect that the city council shall build boats
and hire men to run ferry. Nothing OF the
sort was ever claimed or desired. But they
do claim that the charter should be secured
for the people, with power to lease, to the
highest bidder, the privilege of running ls a
ferry, and thus, for all time to come, make
it source of permanent revenue to the peo-
pie and thus reduce their taxes. E--

NEW YoRK, Feb. 1.-THE report of a majority
of the News0rleans iotyeommittee is published.
1t says, insyiew of the facts proved we are con-
strained to say, that the time has fully arrived,
when Congress should interfere in it should so
legislate to secure TO the people of Louisiana
republican form of government, and the eondi-
ton of things cannot continue consistently with
safety, security or peace of the loyal men since
the surrender of the rebel armies. Rebellion has
assumed another form now controls the govern
ment through the same agencies thai led these ar
mics in time Of war; that Congressional acts
should be had is settled by facts and not opinion,
when men are driven from their homes and their
lives threatened and their. property destroyed
whenin business, there are prescribed when recent
rebels held all places of trust and having power
to Cypress and punish loyal men because they
are. and have been loyal men, who have never
finehed from duty as radical loyalists, when the
days were the glOOmiest and the danger the great
est in the time of war, are prosecuted by sys-
tenn. hunted like wild beast and slaughtered
without mercy and with entire immunity
from punishment, there is no room left for
doubt that some legislative remedy should be
applied. The serious matter of fact and act
of opinion and in our judgement but one
course is open and should be pursued with
out hesitation or delay. According to the
judgment of all who have felt the presence
of the rebel riot and have stood firmly and
fearless for the Union when treason was
nearest to success, who Judgment given upon
oath is based upon facts, within personal ex-
perience who give opinions resting on knowl-
edge and spealle of what they have seen and
known. The present civil government of
Louisiana, existing without sanction of ma
tional law, should be suspended by act of
congress and a provisional government es-
tablished and maintained by national power
until the time has come when Louisiana is
cotrelled by loyal men and may be restored
TO the former practical relations to the Union
with endangering its security and peace
The report is accompanied by bill providing
for the appointment of officers for the new
organization by the President and provides
that rebels shall he enfranchised by going
through the naturalization process, taking
out papers from the United States court.

THE FERRY QUESTION.
The Foor Heirs of John Wilson
Getting Desperate.

The owners of the ferry monopoly are
shaking in their boots, fearing that they shall
not secure another extension of their charter
and .. thus cut the people off from
any revenue from that quarter Be
tween foaw, hundred saad fac ha@aeed eiti-
zens Of this place have already signed a pc
ton to the legislature against any further ex-
tension of the ferry charter, and, up to TINS
time, Senator Webster has not permitteo II
to pass. But the poor heirs off, wilson,
latter having proved false to their own agree
ment with the city council, made when VIM,
Bailey was mayor, and sworn to by him, AZ
dermap Steel and others) are now thorough
ly alarmed for fear they cannot cheat the
people out of their rights for another term
Their great object now is to convince Sena-
tor Webster that he ought to let them do so
and as means Of doing this they have, in
this mornings Union, exposed the names OF
those who have signed their petition.
First in order, and probably calculated to
be "a sumner is the following, which we
copy from tHe tHtOU

GENTLEMEN The undersigned, members oil

generally would not thereby be subserved, and,
that the right TO a ferry to Davenport, if
granted to the city, would be used political
machine.
We believe that Messrs. Spencer, Robinson 4
Co have run the ferry in such manner as to
fully accommodate the public also believing that
they will do so in the future. We would there
fore recommend that their charter be extended in
preference to giving it to other parties, whose
ability and wilnghess-to accommodate the pub.
