The New York Nautical Gazette, OF
Wednesday, says:
"The Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Board of Steam Navigation Is now
in session at Washington, and, In pursu-
ance of instructions, will endeavor, by
| every honest means, to have the Amend
ed Steamboat Law passed. we are
charitable enough to think that some OF
the opposition evinced by members OF
Congress toward this law has arisen from
the fact that, not being conversant with
its Importance, and listening to the rea-
soning of bad and interested parties, they
have been misled as to the character of
the lust demands made by the entire
steamboat interest Of the country. The
steam vessel interest ask nothing that is
not fair, Just and honorable, keeping in
view the necessity of guar ling the best
! interests of their patrons, both rs to life
and property, and at no time have they
pressed their claims but IN the
most respectable terms. For four we airs
this body has fairly urged its just claims
it has not urged them, however,
through paid lobbyists, but in the persons
of It's delegates, who are men of marked
intelligence, sterling integrity and above
reproach as citizens and prominent busl-
ness men. These men have, rs body, n
bright, patriotic record, and for years
have been struggling manfully against
oppression, induced by the powerful in
huencc cxertcd by ring of patent right
schemers. whose acts have now been
laid bare, and whose nefarious business
has, to large extent, been broken up.
We sincerely trust that before the ad-
iournmcnt Of Congress, for the glad hOl-
idavs, whe shall be enabled to announce
to our readers the final passage of the
Amended Steamboat Law, rs proposed
by the Executive Committee of the Ma
tIonal Board OF Steam Navigation
