for The place, and against whom there
conld possibly be no. honest oljcc ion.
The Governor was pleased to APP
point him under date of The 18th,
Dec. Mr.. II. g. Vaughan the mem.
Der above alluded to rs the third
commissioner, Capt. Pol, and the ne
gro member met, to hold n meeting,
on last Monday, when Capt. Pol. was
informed tat his appointment was
void inasmuch as the G.. Il. member
had not resigned and "would mott
and that on the 23rd he had come
down from jackson, and, with the ne
gro member, had held a meeting: and
these two, without giving any notif-
cation to AR. Vaughan had appoint"
cd a Harbor master Capt. HalD, had
dismissed one Of the pilots Capt.
Moore (who had withdrawn from the
Pilot Association, or Ring" and
who in connection with a brother was
running a pilot boat and had appoin,
ted another negro in his stead.
! Now the G. B.. alluded to, does
not live in the county is a m~erchaat,
in Jackson, and has no sort VI interest
here; and as the pT..u is purely a
lov~ui%eacIn and OF crates for the
local interest of the place, we consid.
er this action on his part as q piece of
purely oficious intcrmeddling with
other peoples business.
What could have induced him tc
slip down here, and with the negro
act thus, without notifying the only
member of the Board who represents
the material interests of the place,
we cannot conceive; but this very
courso il sufficient to impress u9 with
the fact that it was for no good. No
personal or political feeling actua es
us in writing this article, we feel
none, but we are convinced that our
commerce, and consequently our pros-
perity, needs encouragement and los
tering care, and we denounce any
attempt to impede it or any effort to
harass it.
Those who have brought it into
life, and who haye rurtured it thu,
far, insist that q few vampires shall
not nov swoop down upon it and for
the sake of speedy gains suck out its
very life blood.
And we call upon the member W! o
has left our locality and county to
resign, that others more interested in
our affairs NAV have some direction
in them.
Since writing the above, we have
been shown the order issued by the
(the two Of them) revoking
Capt. Moore's license as a pilot. The
order states that the license or nted
Capt. Moore on the 18th day of May
1873, Ito take effect on June 1s!), is
revoked, tor intemperarce while in
charge of schr. Eva Adele. on 14th
of February 1873.
That is, the Board so far allows its
feelings to run away with its discre
ton, that they revoke the license for
deed char ged to have been commit
ted three months before the license
was issued, and owe one month be-
fore the biz creating the Board be-
came a law.
Verify two Daniels have come 70
Judgment, and if the Governor does
not revoke" the appointment Of these
two commissioners for incnmnetency.
