we nope tuab everything viii be dom
TO -reeonpense u river men for the
many difficulties and outrages under
which they have laborsd for many years,
Ia fact, eveT since Memphis was a ham
let. No other interest has paid As much
money into our city Golfers and none
have e As badly neglected. The por-
Ion Of the landing yet uupaved should
De pushed forward without delay and
anchors should be placed at proper in
tervais 20 make boats fast to. AT present
there is not One-half enough OF those
necessary conveniences on our landing
and we are satisfied that our city council
win as their first nesting consult the
wharfmaster, Capt. Wilkins, and remedy
this matter. IL u a subject Of general
complaint and can be remedied al small
expense. Let It be done.
There Is complaint Of q scarcity Of ton
mage at Cincinnati.
There is talk Of tuuneiing the Ohio at
Plttsourg just below the confluence Of
the Allegheny and MOnongahela.
The Starlight has been chartered to
run between Evansville and Johnson

APittsburg paper says: The builders
OF the Richmond, at Madison, labor IN
der a mistake when they say the Rich
mond Is the largest boat on the western
waters. The Great Republic has a thous-
n tons more capacity than the Rich
mOnd.
The Louisville Courier then says The
owners Of the Richmond do not say she
Is a large freight boat, and have no an
tieipations OF carrying as much freight
as either the great Ruth or the Great Re-
public She was not designed or intended
az q freight boat, and we have heard
Capt Neal very readily c0ncede the
point that either Of the above boats
would carry more freight than the Rfeh-
mond. The owners and builders of the
Richmond claim that she is the longest
boat, nGs the longest cabin and the lsrg-
est staterOT ms OF any boat now o
structed on the western waters. She is
the greatest passenger packet afioat, and
We believe, the fastest ever built, with
out any allusiOn whatever, To freight
boats, syen ifthey should have a thOus-
aud tons more capacity"
