The weather yesterday was highly
favorable for business, which was
quite active on the wharf, though the
arrivals were limited........The Min
neapolis passed down at midnight
Wednesday, and is a magnificent
steamer, built at Pittsburgh for the
Northern Line Company, upper Mis-
sissippi; but we regret to BE called
upon to record the fact that her Of
ficers acted the knave here. Joe
Morris, the night wharfmaster, was
promptly on hand to collect wharfage,
but her clerk could not be found un-
til she had discharged what little
freight she had to put off here, when
he made his appearance, and Morris
politely asked him for the wharfage.
He pretended that he was about to
pay it, but i" higgled about the
amount until the Captain tapped the
bell to let go, when the clerk said he
did not pay bills. Morris appealed to
the Captain, who ordered the pilot
to back her out, and answered the
wharfmaster, who was honestly at
tempting to discharge his duty, wi tn
contumely and insult. a man who
would act the knave and BLACKBOARD
in such a manner, is unfit to command
steamboat or to associate with
steamboatmen, who are gener-
ally honest and honorable. The
officers of the Minneapolis saved the
paltry sum of three or four dollars,
but have placed themselves outside
the pale Of gentlemen. Men who
would rob a wharfmaster would rob
their passengers, and should never
carry any.......~The Quiekstep, find

connection here, cOasted along, and

magnificent trip, and was receiving
largely for her return.........The Hart.

eeiving a splendid trip. Capt Cow
