ments OF their accounts, and masters are re-
quired to keep accurate books showing all
payments to their crews and deductions
claimed from their wages. Men are entitled
to pay within specified time after arrival in
port and on commencing voyage may desig-
nate o relative to whom part Of the wages
shall be paid during their absence
Under the new law, if properly admins
tered, the old system of shipping sailors while
drunk must be abandoned and those who have
lived by specializing upon the infrmites of our
tars will be obliged to seek their gains by other
and less cruel methods. Every sailor who
leaves port will have the opportunity to Judge
soberly as to the character of the master and
officers of his vessel before shipping and
when he returns he will be protected in all his
rights and full and honest payment of his
wages assured. Captain Duncan, the Com
missioner at this port, an old seaman, has Or
ganized his Office with a full staff of assistants
If Jack is fooled out of his hard-earned wages
after being paid off, under the provisions Of
this new law it will be his own fault, and it
seems that he cannot be unwillingly dragged
into an engagement Of course, when afoat
no law can absolutely prevent rough usage
from brutal officers but he can reflect that the
law is open to give him relief and to punish
his wrongs when he shall arrive at an Ameri-
can port and that the sympathies of the pub
hc will always aid him in obtaining justice.

negroes TO Sucn an extent Us 10 impress tneSe
ideas upon their minds, and thus we find that
in all counties free from coercion and corrup-
ton the large majority of the whites voted
against the republicans. Only in counties
where threats of prosecution were used, where
military rule was enforced and where money
was freely employed did the republicans
secure any large percentage of the white vote.
The practical effect of this attempt to keep
open the wounds of the war, to revive the
hatreds of slavery and to raise dangerous
issue between the negroes and the whites has
been to bring disaster upon the republicans I'M
State where two-ffths of the voters are colored
men, 1t will be still more fatal elsewhere if
persevered in by the friends of the administra-
ton. The whole country outside the political
supporters of the administration Fright or
wrong is opposed to the harsh and extraordi-
nary measures that have been imposed by Con-
gress on the Southern States and put in opera
ton by the President. This opposition will be
increased by the efforts Of the republicans to
force the rule Of negroes and carpet-baggers
upon that section of the country and by the
practical evidence of its evil effect upon the
negro mind. 1t is recognized everywhere
as wicked and dangerous experiment; as
a reckless act that is ikoly to bring dis
order and bloodshed ON the Southern
States The republican politicians who are
surrounding the administration and leading it
into all manners of peril must be able to see
