giving some attention to our steamboat1nen-(the
Administrator OF Commerce 10 particularly For
years the steamboatmen have suffered and not
complaned; they pay excessive dues for the pur-
pose of tying up 20 dilapidated whaIves, aid have
never asked any fayors from the ''powers that
be- Now they do ask, and we think Justly, that
in the selection Of whartingers for the First.
and Second Districts, some old and exper ienced
steamboatmen should be selected. There are
several whom we might mention, that would
give general satisfaction, but refrain from giving
names, not knowing whether the gentlemen We
have in our minds eye would accept the position
or not.
