The barge and steamboat contest has &C.
auired no new feature of interest at ct.
Louis. The Democrat Of the 18th instant
says;
Rates by both similar. AS received from
Mr.. Charles Scudder, of the barge company,
they are as follows to New Orleans: Flour
20 cents; corn Is cents; oats 20; pork 40
cents; pound freight per 100 Is cents; to oac-
co per hid So; and rates are given to Liver
pool, Boston, and New York. We have the
assertions, also from the same authority,
that this week, so far, and last week the
barge company received twice as much
freight as steamers at the Atlantic line
wharfboat-that the company has no idea
of quitting; have 1900 tons loaded, and 5000
sacks corn on the levee. Hitherto it APP
pears that the stockholders have taken little
interest in the management of the enter
prise, being probably satisfied that the ex-
ecutive officers were performing their du-
ties; but they are becoming warmly inter
ested in the contest, and are wiling to do
great deal coDjOlntly in order to secure sue.
cess. Whatever phase the contest may as.
sumo, we sincerely trust that the steamboats,
will continue to dnd steady and remunera'
tive employment. We are not at all anxious
to witness a continued exodus of boatmen
from our river, and the casting aside of our
steamers as worthless property. 1t was
pleasant to see the departure of the Com.
monwealth lastevening, with every pound
of freight she wanted.

We publish the bill for the admission Of
Louisiana and other Southern States as 1t
passed both Houses of Congress. Among
those who voted for its passage in the Sem
ate were Senators Ross and Trumbul.
Van Wrinkle was paired with Hendricks, Of
Indiana. No Republican voted against
the bill. 1t was sent to the President on
the twelfth instant, and will become law
If he does not veto it on the twenty-second.
If be returns it before the expiration Of
the ten days with his objections, both
Houses Of Congress will undoubtedly pass
it over his veto without days delay.
The first section of the bill provides for
the admission the States to representation
in Congress when the Legislatures shall
ratify the amendment to the Constitution
known as article fourteenth. ...-..
The second section provides that the
Legislatures shall meet at the end of twenty
days from the time the act takes effect, I'M
less the governor elect shall sooner con-
vene the same. Governor Warmoth will
not probably delay action iu the premises,
The third section provides for the inau-
guration of State officers without delay
after the Legislature ratifes article four
teen Of amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States. The same section
makes it the duty Of the President within
ten days after receiving official information
of the ratification of said amendment by
the Legislature to issue proclamation an
nOunoing that fact.
Under this law the Legislature may con-
Vene and the State officers be inaugurated
next week.

A NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE,

Much good to the entire country may
result from the formation of the " National
Board of Trade" which has just been
completed at Philadelphia by conven-
ton of delegates from the various trades
associations of the several States. The
constitution adopted declares that each
local board of trade, chamber of commerce,
or other body organized for general COM
mercial purposes is entitled to represent
alton in this national board, the term OF
each delegate to be for not less than one
year; and honorary members will be ad-
mitted from similar bodies in British North
America
1t is to be hoped that each
industrial and commercial interest of
every section of the Union will soon
be represented in this organization, for the
debates during its sessions will do
much to instruct our national
Legislators in the wants of the country, and
the united voice of the body must have a
potent effect in regulating protective duties
and adjusting the tax burdens equally
upon the shoulders ofall. The rival inter-
ests Of manufacturers and agriculturists
have been fruitful theme of discord in
our past history. If through the medium
of this new association a happy mean can
be struck, and harmony secured, it will
prove a great national blessing. But it is
Of the first importance that no material in
terest should go unrepresented in the coun-
ellis Of this commercial congress; therefore
let a full delegation be sent from Lou
isiana.
