HIGH FREIaHTs.-The enormous rate of freights
charged by Red river boats is exciting the indg
nation of merchants against the miserable policy of the
New Orleans insurance officers in ruling out all boats
over four years old without any regard to their sound
ness There is said to be sufficient tonnage now lying
idle in New Orleans and forced into other trades to
reduce freight reasonable This is dodge on
the part of the New Orleans Offices which has double
object. In the first place, 1t is ostensibe reduction
of the rates of insurance. which results really to the
disadvantage of shippers for what is saved by the re-
duction in insurance boats is than lost by
the increased freight charges Of the favored few. An
other object is to endeavor to hedge off the st. LOUIS
movement. Wevery much hope that the liberalty and
enterprise of the St. Louis insurance companies will
defeat this scheme

these laws. The conservative wing frequently nomi-
nate men for office who are known to be disqualified
under the reconstruction laws but who are also known
to be acceptable to the Democrats. The success of
the Hamilton faction, as it will be produced by Demo
cratic votes will be the defeat of Republicanism in

the latter class indeed the fast young men and old

night. The gambling saloons have tolerably held their
own though the gathering has been generally of what
is metaphorically known as 'low flung" crowd.

A Row IN CANA negro camp meeting at Morris
vile, Pa, opposite Trenton, broke up in on
late Sunday night. Several shots were fred, resulting
in dangerous and probably fatal wounds. There was
also some stabbng, and rough and tumble head smash
ing of the veliest character. The difficulty occurred
in consequence of the civtes of some white men to
some black women-a compliment which the negroes
failed to appreciate in the spirit in which it
dered. So the irrepressibe conflict goes on.
