4 PREF PORT

The bill Of 5Ir. Hahn, purporting to
make New Orleans q free port. proposes
to do SO not absolutely. but compare
lively. New Orleans may, and indeed
must abate many of those charges upon
commerce, which were perhaps, permits
sible when there was no other outlet to the
valley. But there are certain charges
that are imperative and can not be alto
gether repealed. We refer especially to
the charge for wharfage. The wharves of
New Orleans are very expensive and pc
culiarly perishable. We assume their cost
at $3.50, 600, and their annual repair and
replacement at twenty-five per cent. This
would require an assessment Of $187, $50,
either upon the city which invites this
commerce Or upon the shipping. It might
be divided between them. utitmust b re-
membered by the Legislature and the Com
mon Council that the city has no right to
charge more for the use Of such public
easement as bridge, wharf, or 3 ferry,
than will make and replace the structure
OF facility. Hence all wharfage charged
in excess Of this Service is Illegal It il
proper to defend the local authorities in
their right to collect proper wharfage.
Bnt there If one modification This
charge which We hav always thought |
might be made with advantage. It Is
this: when barge or foas brings down

We SHALL in fact, derive much advantage
from the completion of those lines that
open to immigration and commerce the
upper portions Of Texas, the south Of
| Kansas, and that Arcadia Of fertile land
and clear streams known as the Indian
Territory Why should we be alarmed at
the progress Of St Louis? The country
described has been the home of the buff
falo and the Indian. New Orleans has
derived little gain from a commerce with
these customers. 4 participation in SONG
trade is better than monopoly of no
trade, and single train from Fort Gibson,

SEUFFLINe AND BVASTVB.

II the answer Of the President 10 The
committee Of indignant Orleanais who
beset him with contradictory statements
Of their political bankruptcy was evasiye,
as the ?jc0ylne insists it was, and shut
fling. too, it certainly differed from the
general tenor of the responses he is accused
Of making. General Grant simply stated
that he answered the demand of United
States Judge for assistance in enforcing q
judicial order. as he was in duty bound to
do, and he die not see how he could have
avoided that action, or how he could re-
caIl it. without becoming derelict to lis
oath of Office. There was no evasion of
anything in that answer, nor was it at all
shutting, and the best evidence of this is
the fact that il scattered the committee in
short order. The delegation eyaded the
force OF the argument, and shufted out o.
Washington ia hot haste.

VOTERS ETA FAIR ELECTION.

In one of its moral and dignifed lee
lures 10 the st. Louis organ of the Fusion
party, touching the highly respectable
character Of the Reform and Democratic
parties in Louisiana, the Picayune declares
that while certain parties felt disposed to
support Governor Warmoth, there was no
regular understanding to that effect among
the Democrats and Reformers, the latter
merely tolerating the Governor g because
he was in position to ensure a fair cleo
ton, and to keep few negroes from the
polls" If men who wear store clothes
and pretend to direct the morals of O com
munity viii allow themselves to entertain
such suggestions as the above, that a fair
election consists in keeping legal voters
from the polls, what must be the condi-
ton of most Of the honespun clad brigade
that gets its information from such
source? As the negroes that were kept
from the polls by the cunning Of the Off
GERS afterwards put in an appearance at
Judge Ddrell8 precinct, perhaps the pro-
priety of engaging men who win fair cleo
tons by cheating the voters will not be as
as It was.
