A Tribute to the Late Captain welsman

A regular meeting of the st. Georges socie.
ty was held on Wednesday last, the president, Il.
P. Walker, Esq, In the chair.
The regular business Of the meeting being dis
posed or the president announced the death OF
Captain James Wesman, one OF the Oldest men,
bers OF the society, which had taken place since
their last meeting, when the following preamble
and resolutions. submitted by Mr.. Henry Gourdin,
were unanimously adopted:
The ST. Georges Society records, with senti-
ments OF sorrow, the death OF Captain James
Welsman, one OF its oldest and most cherished
members. He was born at Sudbury, Devonshire,
England on the 18th November, 1874, and arrived
In Charleston in May, 1908, In the British brig
Burnthorn from Exmouth, with some ten other
passengers, all OF whom he survived. In conse.
quence OF the failure to receive credit which his
father had provided for him, he was with shil-
ling only in his possession when he landed In
Charleston, and his first employment was on
board of a Sulliyan;s Island sail packet. Under
the advice, however, OF Mr.. Lewis Oger, then
warden OF St. Philips Church, lie was apppren-
tlced to Mr.. Delaney, then pilot for the bar and
harbor OF Charleston; and soon after became his
copartner. In 1917 they, with the late Mr.. Will
liam E. Snowden, built the brig Catharlre, and
taking the command Of her, after two voyages to
Europe, he engaged in the West India trade, sail.
ing chiefly between the two ports Of Charleston
and Havana. He retired from the sea In 1882,
and became successful ship owner having been
interested in several Of the largest and finest
ships owned in the city and engaged In the Eu-
ropean trade. he lost the larger portion Of the
handsome fortune that he had acquired, during the
war, and retiring altogether from business after
the war, he lived in contented cheerfulness it'll

Resolued, That the memory OF Captain Wells

members; and that his death In the maturity OF q
well spent life, leaves Us little to regret but his

New YeRK, Jan. PA bill has
been introduced into the South Caro-
line Legislature for the sale of the
public lands. and the devotion of the
proceeds to the purpose Of sinking
fund for liquidating the State debt.
The Commercial says that, on Sat-
urday evening, an agreement was en-
tered into aud signed. between the
Adams and American Express Com
panies, by which the latter surren-
ders to the former all the routes and
advantages given by the Adams to the
Merchants Union, under the arrange
ment of December, 1867, and which
were transferred by the Merchants
Union to the American, upon their
late consolidation of interests. In
consideration of this re transfer of
routes, the Adams Express Company
pays to the American Company 5000,
coo cash within a period of four years.
As a compensation for the transfer
of the Fort Wayne & Chicago route,
the Adams gives to the American the
transportation over the Cincinnati &
indianapolis Road, the lower end of
the Illinois Cyntral Road and the
Jeffergonville u indianapolis Road.

In,erIor ports Of Entry.

There is much complaint by i'm
porters in the interior concerning de-
laws and impositi0ns In the New YCrk
Custom House. The merchants oil
PhiladelE who have alm0si alto
gether ceased to import direct to that
CITY. as was their wont In earlier days,
and who find the carrying trade now
too exclusively in toreign hands to
make return to direct importation
now practicable, are becoming as
anxious as these of Western cities for
a measure like the Port Of Entry bill
favored by our business men. The
Philadelphia y ortb american, In
noticing this concentration of foreign
interests at New York. says this would
not be advantageous if goods for
Philadelphia could only be promptly
receiyed-a5 they are not-and adds 4:
There are two causes operating to
prevent this. The first and greatest
is the monstrous corruption that has
so loug prevailed at the New York
Custom House. The salaries officials
receive there seem to be the smallest
part of what they make. Goods des-
tined for any other city than New
York are hurried off to the bonded
warehouses, and then there is no such
thing as getting them out without a
vast amount or circumlOcution and
useless fOrmality The process can
probably be expedited by extra pay
ment. and this is the cause of the
trouble, since all the money thus paid
has to be added to the cost Of the
goods. Now, in times like these. when
merchants are obliged to calculate
closely every cent of cost this is
practically a conspiracy TO give the
New YORK importers an advantage In
the trade of the whole country. 1t
means that, whether so intended or
not, and has that effect. The second
cause to which we refer may be i'm
aged from this: it Is, that New York
importers, merchants and public men
are all deeply interested In continuing
/ this nuisance. and work together 10
its defense with a harmony, a zeal
and a success that are most striking.
For years these difficulties have
been sill more seriously felt In Gin
cinnati, St. Louis and other cities OF
the Interior. 1t has finally come to
this-of course precisely what New
York wants that cur merchants, in-
stead OF importing for themselves,
have found il more convenient and
prnfi,ab bic, in the long run, to deal
with foreign j0bbers in that city. This
has q tendency to enhance the cost ol
all imported goods to buyers here. buI
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1870-01-25

perhaps not more so than to submit
TO the protraeted delays and the
scoundredly impositions which seem
to have been reduced to a system IN
the New York Custom House, and
which still defy all attempts to rem
edy. Our only relief is in direct i'm
portation, and the delivery OF goods
through interior ports of entry. The
hopelessness of effective reform IN
any other way is manifest.
The Philadelphia Board of Trade,
in the fall of 1866, adopted memo
rial, which was presented TO Congress
at its following session, setting forth,
in substance, that very large quanti-
ties of the importations at New York
were for the account of merchants of
Philadelphia and other cities; that
this trade is burdeRed at New 4 ork
by great delays and heavy expenses,
attending the appraisal, entering the
bonding Of all merchandise SO i'm
ported at the port of arrival, as now
required by law; overcrowdiDg the
custom house there, and obstTucting
business; that this requirement Is en-
tirely useless for the protection Of the
Government and prejudicial 20 its in
terests; which are always Injured by
useless distractions, and pro
NOTED always by the greatest
freedom of transit. In view Of these
considerations, the memorial asked
such change in the revenue laws as
should authorize the immediate for
wardIng Of goods and merchandise in
tended for either Of the ports of Bos-
tor, New York, Philadelphia or Bal
timore, 70 the custom officers Of either
of the said ports as directed, without
entry, warehousing, bonding. or other
delay at the port of arrival, under
such regulations as should perfectly
secure the interests of the United
States Treasury and the rights of i'm
porters This fairly raised the ques-
ton, but New York influences pre-
vented the passage of the bill submit
ted along with this memorial.
The matter was subsequently
brought before the National Board of
Trade, at its meeting in BOstOn-de
cisive actio in favor Of the change
having been previously taken by the
Board of Trade of Cincinnati. St.
Louis and Boston-aBd resolution
| was passed endorsing the proposed
measure. The House of Representa-
tives passed the bill in May, 1868
step IN advance for which we are
much indebted to the constant atten-
ton and efforts of Hon. Benz. Egg
glestoD, then a member of the Com
mittee on Commerce.. Ia the Senate
it was referred to the Finance Com
mittee, and its Chairman, Senator
Sherman, as we'll as Senator Cattell,
were for reporting it back favorably.
But the New York Senator On the
committee worked zealously against
it, and it soon became evident that no
pains were to re spared to compass
It's defeat. A substitute was agreed
to-plausible enough in appearance,
but only device to secure delay. As
such it was a decided success.
A new bill will be agreed on at this
session, of such character as to con
solidate all interests on this side of
the question, and with skillful man
agement we may reasonably hope a
decisive result before the Winter is
over.-C Cincinnati Chronicle.
