EgfsceEEHEe1TsS.
Business was decidedly dull on the
levee Saturday, with a very light port
list........The Champion passed uI
with about all she could carry.......
There is barely 5 feet to be found or
Walkers bar. and there is about the
same on Scufhetown and French Is
land........The Mollie Gratz passed
up without landing .........The Fayette
had moderate trip.........The Evans
Vile was we'll loaded with tobacco
and miscellaneous freight.........ThC
Idlewild was receiving liberally.......'
The new schedule of rates seem to
give entire satisfaction, as shippers arc
generally wiling to give fair rates.....
The frame of the hull for Andy
Hutchison's new towboat. is up, ant
will be completed with dispatch......
The Mallie Ragon and Norman ar
being put IN complete repair with al
possible dispatch.......The New Yorl
EUaniag Post was terribly exercises
over the recent race of the Lee ant
Natchez, and mourns over the pro
pensity to gamble among Western
! people. Coming from New Yorl
City, where they elect the prince o
gamblers to Congress, and where two
thirds of the people make their liv
ing by gambling, the homily is re
freshiDg. The Post is equally stupi
!, in its supposition that travel b.
steamboat is about superseded b!
railroads. This is its closing vail:
= We had hoped that the countr
; had seen the last of these steamboa
= races on the Mississippi. That might
L stream is fast passing out of use as
< line of passenger transit, and the day
y of the floating palaces, with thei
d gilded saloons and luxurious cuiSjn
J, and little games Of draw poker, laid,
II as the lawyers say, with contint
= andO, from day to day" have passe
= by. The railroads superseded th
n Father Of Waters for long journey
y and it ia criminal to Offset the IL
i. creased security thus afforded TO hI
e man life with fiery steamboat race
y which seem TO invite horrible di
d asters."
