Tho sound Steamers.

1t has been argued by the opponents Of the
measure to compel the Sound steamers to land
on the East river that 1t was measure to
control navigation, and that, therefore, only the
national Congress had authority to force the
change. This, however, Is an error. The
United States Supreme Court has very clearly
decided that ''police regulations for the accom-
mediation and safety of vessels in harbor
may be enacted by the local authorities" In
o case decided iu the United States Supreme
Court in 1858 suit was brought for damages
done to tho brig James Gray by the ship John
Fraser in Charleston harbor. The defence on
the part of the Foster was that the brig was
lying in the harbor in violation OF certain
local law. The owners Of the Gray contended
that the local law was void. This, therefore,
point now mootcd with regard to the Sound
steamers-namely, the power of the local
authorities TO prescribe rules for the naviga-
tion of the adjacent waters. The court de-
clared :-"Regulations of this kind are neces-
sary and indispensable in every commercial
portfor the convenience and safety of com
merce, and the local authorities have right
to prescribe at what wharf a vessel may lie,
how long she may remain there, where sh 9
may unload or take on board particular car
goes" &c. 1t is evident from the Supreme
Court decision that not only the Legislature,
but even the Common Council Of the city Is a
fully competent authority to make such rule.

The ARMY Bill. reported by General Logan,
with some nnimportant amendments, was
passed in the House yesterday. Some of the
organization are good, but the principle Of
mastering out the veterans Of the war who
have attained rank by hard service in the field
is wrong. We can easily enough afford to re-
tain these men in their positions now that the
war is over, and to do otherwise savors
strongly Of ingratitude. The bill would do
better If it provided for the non-appointment
of any more officers rather than for the mus
tering out Of those already in.

TIE TENNESSEE BILL.-A delegation Of
colored people from Tennessee called upon
President Grant yesterday and asked for mill
tary protection in that State. He referred
their request to the Secretary of War, but
stated that any proposed interference with the
civil law was matter requiring very grave
consideration. In this he is right and prac-
tical as usual, and we suggest that Butler,
Maynard and company give the matter very
grave aud serious consideration before they
determine to reconstruct the State, and then,
probably, they viii conclude not to do it.

SALOON KEEPERS.

AS class, saloon keepers of this city

to support good order as any other class OF
people in the city. And as long as they
pay their Licenses are engaged in q perfect

its desperate attempts TO manufacture poll

lowing paragraphs taken from it's issue of

Weare told that drunkenness on the streets
is unusually frequent of late.
Did Brother Hswley or Brother Rhes tell
you, or did the getter up of that paper sign
ed by seven hundred to have the saloons
closed hint it toyou?
The fact ID owing to the negligence of
the police in enforcing the ordinances re-
strsining saloon keepers.
How do the saloon keepers relish this
| accusation coming from paper that was so
loud in it's praise, and worked so hard for
the election of mayor who tended bar
himself, and instructed his police to have
all the other saloons closed. A majority of
these saloon keepers are republicans, and
if we mistake not are the ones who keep
their doors open latest at night. Perhaps it
is Lord Hswley who wants them restrained
