ports. The city can only derive commerce
from those vessels which visit its wharves.
There is a reciprocal dependence of the
city and shipping. They should divide
the cost Of the interviews. 4 comparison
of the cost Of entering and clearing a ship
from all the principal ports in the world
will show New Orleans second, perhaps,
to Calcutta. Many Of our charges are
peculiar to our port. The long towage of
sail vestels has been 81 % per ton up and
G23c down. This on O vessel Of one thou
! sand tons would be S1875-a charge from
which our Eastern Atlantic ports are ex-
empt. Pilotage is not unreasonable. But
a question everywhere arises whether
piIotage should be made compulsory. No
doubt this contribution from every ship
is necessary to keep the pilot craft afioat;
the question hence arises whether that
expense should not be divided between the
shipping and the city. stevedorage is at
certain seasons very high in New Orleans,
but this can only be reduced by agree
ment among the Iaborers. It might be
much modified by the application of por-
table steam power for loading and dis
charging, as is now done with some
OF our best steam lines. Drayage
has been very serious item in
handling our through trade, but the late
eplzootic has shown that heavy cargoes
may be trucked by yard engines on the
railroad between the ship and the river
boat This will promote the cheapness
and good order Of shipments The petty
charges and annoyance Of the portwar-
dens and wharfngers Should be abated.
In some ports these officers will Law a ship
wherever she may wish, if paid for it.
This should not be permitted here. We
have explained that the quarantine
physician should be paid in some other
manner than BY tax on shipping. The
whole cost Of vessel Of 1000 tons which
takes pilot at the bar, is towed to the
wharf discharged, loaded, towed down
and sends her pilot back to the
Balize has been IN round numbers $40
per ton, or $4,000. The vessel can get a |
load at great many other American ports |
at a less cost. While, therefore, the charges
on commerce should be cut down as far as
possible, there are some which must be
imposed on shipping as large as it will
bear it. Experiment can alone determine
The proportion which it will bear. The
problem is: TIE rotain and Increase our
# commerce will bear the
ocal charges it IS well to continue them,
7ut if it will not, then il is better to put
'harges on the real estate and the business
# the city than to lose the trade. A com
nittee on commerce should summon the
)est informed merchants, ship owners and
he fiscal authorities of this city before
hem. From the information thus OBJ
aimed such law may be matured as will |
olive the problem stated With justice to all
interests.

II is now the well established law, as
was commended for by some of our citizens
during the rebellion, 'that at no time
were the rebellious States out Of the
Union; that their rights under the consti-
tuition were suspended, but not destroyed;
their constitutional duties and obligations
were unaffected, and remained the same. =

TIE REPUBLICAN AND ITS DETRACT0RS
The Pjcoycs2e has just madea very alarm
ing discovery. It has come up to q point
in the history of Louisiana dating back
10 moro than three or four weeks. The
REPUBLICAN and the National Rep,.b';aqa
informed the public month ago. more
or less, that the bill of the Times job office,
for printing registration blanks, etc,
amounted to more than one hundred and
forty thousand dollars, and that warrants
had been issued in payment, forty thou
sand dollars worth Of which had already
found their way into the treasury. Nearly
all the Northern papers have published
the statement, and the facts were patent
to all the world except the not oyer-Yigi-
liant organ of reform in New Orleans. But
we leave it to settle that question with its
readers. We have word to say, however,
Of the following allusion to the RErUB-
LICAN. In attempting to show up the incon-
sistency Of the Times, for having presented
such an ezorbitant bill afteg preaching
virtue SO loudly, the Pie says:
