THE CRITTENDEN COMPROMISE

! The correspondent of the Portland Ad-
vertiser who furnishes that paper with a
communication in relation to the Critten-
| den compromise is welcome to all the
honor he can win from his article. The
charge which hemakes against Mr.. Blaine,
when plainly stated is that he used his in
! fluence in the Republican State Conven-
ton of 1861 in favor of the adoption of the
Crittenden resolution. That resolution
passed the Senate of the United States
with only five dissenting votes, only one
of which was cast by a northern Senator;
it went to the House and there it passed
also with only two dissenting votes; it
was supported by the entire republican
press of Maine and the loyal States; en-.
dorsed by all republican State conventions
held that season; and formed the basis
upon which Mr.. Lincoln and his admins
tration stood. We submit that Mr.. Blaine
was in very good company, even though
he may not have had the support of Mr..
George F. Talbot, as this correspondent
says. Mr.. Talbot might have been wiser
at that time than Mr.. Lincoln, Congress,
and the great mass of republicans in this
and other States, but his wisdom appears
not to have been appreciated then except
by rebels and copperheads. The first
name upon the Senate roll recorded in OPP
position to the resolution, when the vote
was taken in that body, is that of John c.
Breckenridge. Every New England SEN
ator and member of Congress voted for it,
including of course Mr.. Sumner, and both
/ the Maine Senators.

NARROW ESCAPE FROx DROWNING.

Since the rise in the rivers drlft-wood

and Mississippi levees, and the boys ofthe
city run many risks in venturing upon It,
The other day, son of Mr.. b. +. Parker,
while playing on the drift lodged against
Hinde's whaI f-boat, fell through up to his
neck in the river, but luckily saved himself
from going entirely under, But Leon
heart Lawrence, about IL years old, and
Houston Dickey, about 9, had much mar
rover escape on last Tuesday. They got
upon drift pile back of the slaughter
house, and while they were playing 1t
broke loose and to pieces and ho"ted away.
The boys managed to get upon log. As
they were floating, crying for help, man
on the shore cried out to them; "Drown
YOU SIS of b-s," and turned his back up
on them and walked away. That fellow
ought to be strung up. Just in the nick
oftime Mr. Slack passing along the levee
saw the little fellows, and procuring skin

WHARF-B
ACTION or THE BOARD OF ALDER.
MEN.
PROPOSITION TO TAX EACH BOAT
ONE THOUSAND DOLL AIS
PER ANNCM.

The Board Of Aldermen, al 10" -ng-'-.
ton Of NE Mavor, has adopted an "rd'h-
,ncc to compel the wharf.boa's now yinS
s., ,be wharf of the Trustees Of the Cairo
City Property to pay 81, 900 per annum' ms
/, license TO do business. The power to pass
this bill, in the opinion of the members oil
the Board Of Aldermen, is to be found In
the charter Of the city which authorizes
the Council to ''license, regulate or sup
press wharf boats" This provision Of the
charter does not give the Council authori-
" to license, suppress or regulate wharf
boats At the wharf Of Memphis or
81. Louis, but at the wharf of the
CITY of Cairo. Now, where is the wharf
of this cityp 1t has none. The Supreme
Court has decided that the wharf the city
claimed does not belong to 1t but to the
Cairo City Property and the city has no
more right to regulate the wharf boats at
the wharf Of the Trustees than 1t has at
tho wharf Of Memphis. We have hereto
fore made these suggestions but they
with others equally as strong,
were presented to the Board last
night In speech by Alderman Mckee, =
,ynopsis of which we shall endeavor to lay
before our readers tomorrow. The ques-
ton then arises: Cannot the city derive
sny revenue from the wharfboatsa Under
TINT provision Of the Constitution which
declares that all taxes shall be uniform,
We doubt lit can collect more than mer-
chants license; but we think, in consider
alton of the fact that the proprietors OF the
boats do more business, than other mer'
chants, Of the city, having better op
portunity, that they should be willing t.
pay at least $500 per annum. 1t would b
better to do this, than TO enter into long
yexatious and expensive law suit. W.
understand the wharf boat men have ex
pressed willingness to do this. The pro
position il the basis Of fair and equitable
compromise, and the city, fit knows 1t
true interests, will not hesitate to enter in
to it. We call this m;s ter othe attenti0'
of the Select Council, and ask the member
20 consider the matter without prejudice
and with deliberation.
