can safely and surely conduct her yos t the
wharf to which she issdestined. fstfhe
pilot, like the lamprey eel, clings to ner'
and becomes a. resident on board, eating
and drinking and drawing pay when nc Is
of no more use than o jackass thar may
constitute part of the cargo.
II has been the habit of the leading peo-
nile, near the sea to help the pilots in I'M
posing their unjust exactions upon the
river commerce and very mean haolt II
has been. The imposition was unjust ana
outrageous, and long has this city feit ite
Injurious effects. Freight destined for for
e;rn ports has been compelled to take first
a coastwise shipment to New York before
taking its departure for its foreign destlna'
ton, because the vessel which was ready
and anxious to come here for this freight
could not afford to pay pilotage up james
river, This hardship benefited nobody
and has been detrimental to the best in
terests of the State.
We do trust that Congress will remedy
this great cvil--kcep pilots at sea, where
they properly belong-and leave to steam
tow-boats the business of conducting YES
sells along tidal inland streams, where NJ
danger exists and where commerce should
be relieved of unnecessary burthens. 1t II
due to the general interests OF the country
that this should be done.

"Tetch it Light"

venerable secessionist, who had passed
through all the sights, the scenes, the
trials. and calamities, of the late civil
strife. was conversing with friend about
the state of the country, when he was
asked what he thought now of his fa7orltc
remedy for encroachments by the General
Government upon the rights OF the States.
He replied that as long as it worked right
it was good but, after his last experience,
if secession came around again he should
"tetch it very light "
Just now this is good motto with refer
ence to other matters. There are other
things which we should now "tctch very
light" If You are desired to enter into
a new agitation to right wrongs and redress
grievances, in which the past is to be raked
over, and all the innammable material ga
thered up for grand explosion OF popular
feeling, "tetch it very light" 1t is dan
gerous to NEEDLE with explosives just now.
Keep very quiet and calm, and wait awhile,
till you know more about surroundings.
Recently knocked down, your head is still
slightly confused-it is not exactly level.
Wait awhile till the smoke clears away and
you are yourself. again. Then you may
venture forth. Until then reject all the
solicitations of impulsive people to enter
the ring and do or die. They may offer
this alternative, but cannot control results.
In fact, there is no alternative just now.
You can only die. So until you have a
chance-a real Internationally. "tctch it
very light.'

The Legislative Disclaimer.

We are gratifed that the House OF Dele
gates on Saturday passed with great una
nimity resolution disclaiming the inten-
ton of electing anybody to office who is
disqualified by the fourteenth amendment.
We have little doubt that Governor WALKER
is perfectly satisfied with the act. In his
message he suggested that persons 80 dis
qualified might be elected to judgeships
and an appeal be made to Congress to re-
lieye them of their disabilities. y candid
construction of that recommendation con-
Cured entirely with the Governors true
meaning, which was that in exceptional
cases-if, indeed, such cases should be pre-
sented at all-where persons fitted for the
judgeships of high dignity could not be
found amongst the qualified, they should be
taken from amongst the disqualified, with
the condition that Congress should relleVe
them before they entered upon their duties
We sunnose the Governor had in his eye
possibly one case-hardly more than TWO
ut farthest. He presumed upon the good
feeling of Congress and of everybody else
in such n case, and in so presumlng be-
slowed compliment on Congress and every
body else. We thought lie erred at the
time. but not to his discredit. And he finds
sucb ballaballoo about it that we are sure
he is pleased that the Legislature has dis
claimed any such feeling of confidence and
trust.
This is another act in the process OF re-
construction calculated to smooth the ways
and remove all impediments to the easy
movement Of the old ship into deep water
completely restored to equality amongst the
States.

River Cities-Commerce.

4 committee Of the House of Representa-
tivcs which has recently had under con-
alteration the question of the decay of the
commerce of the nation has just made
report Of very considerable gene
raj interest. We have only seen q very
brief Geographic statement of its purrort,
but that is sufficient for our purpose. One
Of the causes OF this decline OF our ship
ping interests, as stated by the committee,
is the heavy charges for pilotage and har-
bor-mastcrs. and they propose as remedy
that the owners Of ships may be permitted
to employ pilots or not, as they choose.
This is Il prop eSSire idea. The com
MERGE of this nation has been long shacklet
with usages which prevailed before the err,
of steam, which rendered those usages
nuisances. BY one device and another the
pilots have chung TO the river commerce as
do barnacles to ships at sea, and burthened
that commerce with taxation without com.
pcnsation, which has been Il serious draw
back upon the prosperity of all rive,
towns.
Against this We have for many years
struggled without success. Tie pilots hat

twas coutended that unless the pilots were
sustained they would no longer roam the seas
TO seek ships in distress and save life and
property in peril-that the society of pi-
lots would cease, and all commerce would

comforting influence of the luxuries of the
deep and the liquid they most delight in
when deprived of their own native element
increased the horrors Of the perils of the
sea, and determined the ingenious alliga-
tors to secure ample sustenance to the dar-
ing men who lived amongst those horrors
Tor the good Of mankind! Year after year,
under these incentives the pilots were forti-
fed in their excessive demands, and every
uilc from this city to Hampton Roads was
heavily assessed with tax to support their
association. The wonder is that their as
eessInent had not followed the freight of the
Yessels they pretended to navigate to Rich
,nond through the entire length Of the
canal.
The truth was the real theatre Of danger

miles beyond the capes. There should be

CANCELLATION OF STAMPs.-Owing to the
extensive frauds committed upon the reve-
nues by the washing, restoration, and retise
of such internal revenue adhesive stamps
as have been used and cancelled by the
machine known as the Ribbon Stamp, it is
ordered and prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Bureau that on and after May LIST,
1870, all adhesive stamps used upon the in
struments, documents, writings, and papers
mentioned and described in schedule B of
the internal revenue laws, shall be cancel
| by writing upon each and every stamp, in
| ink, the initials of his name and the date,
year, month, and day upon which the same
is attached or used, or by cutting and can
ceiling the same with the machine called
Wheeler's patent CHANCELLOR, or such other
machine or instrument as may hereafter be
designated and prescribed by said Commits
sioner, and that no other method of cancel
ling such stamps employed on or after that
date shall be recognized rs legal and suffi-
cient until otherwise prescribed and order

SO here is the setting aside of the ribbon
stamp and the substitution of another mode
