BY the above 1t would seem that the authorities OF
Wilmington intend TO compel vessels TO paw the
Harbor Master IN some way; 80 they have this
regulation sort of whipping the devil around the
stump" which. as they think, Will accom-
plish the object The ordinance In question
Is an obstruction to and violation OF
the rules or commerce, as no vessel can
discharge her cargo until the harbor masters fees
paid Give dollars 10 procure BERTH. BY that regu-
with valuable cargo on board the United States
could not collect duties until perhaps DAYS and
weeks OF pickering with the harbor master had
elapsed. ana the vessel and cargo might by some
accident be DESTROYED meantime. therefore the
United States authorities should intervene to protect
vessels from such abuse. Neither Wilmington nor
New York can oDstruct commerce by any quarantine
or harbor regulation under the pretext OF such State
or municipal laws and To endeavor to counteract
such abuses IN the future | intend to embrace
clause In the petitions have to present TO Congress
at the coming session. such as Will completely quash
such INSTRUCTIONS and abuses II attempted.
