A MISUNDERSTANDING. The Heruld in
its last issue was rather hard on the Off
GERS of the .'Kanagha Belle" IN relation
to the mails We, as much as any one,
regret the irregularity in the arrival Of the
mails, but the officers are notso much to
blame as the Mail Contractor The boat
desires to carry the mail, but must DO paid
for it sum sufficient to make all the land
iugs necessary. Kaadrha Journal.
The Journal misrsprcsents Mr. Deem
by attaching the blame to him. The trou-
bic is with Capt. Cox, and he is alone re-
sponsib!e for it. The whole object was to
extortiOn from Mr.. Deem sum Of money
that would not justify him in carrying the
mail. and thereby hopo to cripple him
with the Department. that ho might be
frustrated in his bid for tho new contract,
aud then tho Belle" could demand what
it pleased to convey the mail between the
points named. The amount paid by Mr..
Deem to the Belle" was sufficient, be-
cause she made every landing where the
mail is delivered, in her trade upand down
the river. She was not Inconvenience by
the mail, and what she got for carrying
the mail, ST2s year, was clear gain. -
We look upon the action Of Capt: Cox as
aclear violation of his contract with Mr..
Deem, and an outrage upon tho people;
and SO long as he refuses to carry the mail
aud deliver il at The Offices along tue river,
SO long should the people refuse to travel
upon his boat, or send freight by her,
If the Belle" can stand it, tho peoplecan
