Cows Running Mt Large.

The fact that co VS. are permitted by their
owners to run at large in the rear of the
city, and that no steps are being taken TO
properly enforce the pound ordinance. is a
source Of continued annoyance to the city
surveyor and the Administrator of I'm prove
ments. Action was taken b. the Council
yesterday toward correcting the evil. The
question is being a.itated whether owners
of stock should not be required to fence in
the ground on which the cattle Craze.
Back of Broad stree: damage to the
amount Of thousands Of dollars ia done
every month by stock running at large.
bitches are dug, and streets and ban
quettes graded, but before tho earth has
had time to become sett,ed it is trodden ON
and trampled down by stock, SO that Pc
pairs are rendered constantly necessary.
Roads are broken into ruts and gulches by
droves Of cattle, and rendered impossible
by vehicles; and the city Admins traitor
whose duty it 10 to keep the streets in re-
pair is blamed for their condition. Thou

The Vessel.Owners and Captains.

At meeting OF this association held in
January, 1870. captains of vessels were
urged to resist the payment of one and one
half cents per tor, harbOrmasters fees, on
the opinion of its being unconstitutional
At a meeting held the third instant the
captain of the port E. B. Seaman, sent to
| the association q letter accompanied by the
! opinion OF Hon. E. G. Banfeld. Solicitor of
| the Treasury. asserting that the law in the
case is constitutional. Captain Seaman
| further said that he had every desire to
protect the vessel-owners in their rights.
but that he must collect these dues, and if
they were not paid he would be obliged to
take the necessary legal measures to en-
force the law.-HIau.icat Gazette, Juae7.
We are aware there is a decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States which,
to a superficial mind, might appear 60 be
in conflict with Mr.. Banfeld's opinion. In
our judgment. however. there is no dis
agreement. A State may not, Of course,
lay tax on tonnage But it, or one of it's
commercial cities, may provide harbor ac-
cOmmodations which TIE owner or master
of the vessel is free to accept or reject If
accepted. however, tho obligation to pay
the advertised price IL clearly incurred.
We question whether the trainers of the
constitution. tho Supreme Court. or the
New Orleans Times ever contemplated i'm.
posing upon port the duty Of building
expensive wharves, protecting ships while
in port, or rendering any other costly
and valuable service free Of charge. This
would be a palpabie violation Of another
provision of the con st;tU ton. The charges
are rated on the ship according to its size
and the room it requires. which is best as
certained by comp uting the rate at so much
ton. The harb ormasters fees are not,
therefore, a duty on tonnage, but are le-
gitimate and proper charge for services &C.
tually rendered. 1t VIII not be con tended
that New Orleans is required to do this for
nothing or that we ought to tax two hun
dred ton schooner as high as we do . three
thousand ton steamer If the harbor fees
can not be collected, our wharv es will soon
be permitted to PUN to decay. In that
case we should have . free port in.

1t is one of the peu lar features OF our
great city that sor many years it has been
impossible for one to 90 from IT to the lake
over any road which . vehicle can pass
without paying toll into the Golfers of a
private corporation! A revenue approx
mating thirty or forty thousand dollars a
year has been realized from those who, in
search of the various reereations the lake
shore affords, have passed over the shell
road beside the new canal or along GENTLY
ridge by Bayou St. John.

on their right passing the verdant foliage

The project of Mr.. Cornell, according to
Mr.. Mcclure, is to trade off to the legislature

In 1868 Mr.. Cornell procured the pas

The New York San tells hard story on
some of our officers on the New Mexican
frontier. The price of beef at one of the
posts was eight cents IA pound. The COM
missary rejected beef offered, as unsound,
and the herd was condemned by the COM
mander There being no other beef to be
had a man in the ring with the commits
sary and commander, offered to supply all
the beef needed at twenty-five cents a
pound. The offer was accepted. lie
bought the condemned cattle on the hooi
at eight cents, and sold the lot to the gov
eminent at twenty-five cents.
That country is a long distance from
headquarters. and there is IA sort of ire

robbing hen-roosts are sisted to be among
the diversions with which lonely officers
