NEW ORLEANS. - Phe Times Of
Thursday says
The weather yesterday was not so
| oppressive as that of It's predecessor,
| but, nevertheless, the shade was far
preferable TO that Of exposure 90 the
penetrating rays Of Old Sol"
Business on the landing yesterday
was not quite as active as that Of the
previous day, there not being as many
departures, but considering the small
number that left, a t0lerably lar
! amount OF freight. was shipped.
10 consequence Of the manner ln
| which labOrers were treated yesterday
morning in dischargine the steamer
| Nicholas LongW0rth, it appears that
| the contractor bargained with Captain
| Hates TO discharge his packet, aud
/ placed a given number of men 20
work, and matters went on smoothly
for time when a posse Of twelve on
/ fifteen of the lower levee darkies
came along. and one of the number
] asked one Of the men engaged in dis
| charging what he received for his
! days labor, TO which interrogation
! the workman answered, two dollars,
when In turn the would-be infator Of
wages informed him that he shouldn't
| work for less than three dollars.
| During the time this conversation
was going on the contractor was inc
formed Of the proceeding. when DE
| forthwith called an officer and had
this ring leader arrested and taken
before Judge Becker, who, it IS said,
liberated him. Perhaps the Judge
took the prisoners word that he had
committed nothing wrong. But this
outrage imposed on our river friends
is not the first, for other cases Of mis-
| demeanor, where the offenders We're
caught and brought 10 the lookup
were liberated, Notwithstanding the
proof against them was positive Inc
steamer Nicholas LongWorth, which
/ should leave port to-day, is detained
In consequence Of the above tLansac-
tions, and cont possibly get oil until
