SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST u. s. COMMISSIONER
WELLER.

The subjoined charge against q. S. Com
missioner Weller, which we clip from the
louisville QUier-Journal, surpris IS US very
much, as we rave never heard Gov.
Weller:s name used in any of the vexatious
and disreputable suits brough' against steam
boatmsn at this point. We know that Shan
non and Frisbee had done enough to warra mt
the steamboatmen in pitching them into the
Mississippi River, and that they were scurvy
fellows, kept in their positions by that other
scurvy fellow. Dnrell, but Gov. Weller is a
man Of different stamp, and cannot and, of
course, will not permit such charges to go
unchallenged
A correspondent Of the St. Louis Republican
writes II see q paragraph in your pa pei request

tered against steamboat. b. tore Judge Weller
and other commissioners at New Orleans. If a
boat ships crew at st. Louis, and on your way
down you find one Of he crew stealing freight
and the master puts him ashore. he goes to New
Orleans and makes complaint before the commits

his court and compelled to pay the plaintiff 8
claims-his wages for the down trip; he then
asks You tn wait until he can show y u the reason
why. He gets q" old law book, with the law of
1857 dec airing that any master is Enable $40 tor

A RE6TRIl TON ON OUR COMMERCE.


A SCHOONER sEIzKD AND SENT TO FORT PIKE.
From Mr.. Poitevent owner of a number of
mills on Pearl River and quite feet of
schooners plying between this city and Pearl
ington, in Mississippi, we learn the following
facts:
The schooner Lille Smith arrived here yes
terday morning with cargo Of lumber.
When she passed Fort Pike the medical Off
Ger in charge there offered to give her clean
bill Of heal h, as there was no one i'll on board
if ten cents per ton was paid him as quaran-
tine dues.
This the captain refused, and the vessel
came to the Basin and was about half I'M
loaded when deputy sheriff interviewed and
ordered the men to stop.
The schooner was then or ed back to
Fort Pike with what cargo yet remained on
board Yesterday evening she proceeded on
her way, and doubtless ere this has been an.
chored under the guns
case of Charles Morgan but that gentleman
carried the case to the Supreme Court where
the decision was in his favor. 1t seems more
than strange that a vessel plying between in
land ports should be subjected to all the
burdens imposed on sea-g going vessels.
Pennington is known to be heal hy, and why
trading vessels running between there and
this city should have this tax put upon them
We cannot see. This matter deserves to be
looked into.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
THE CATFISH TRADE.
Not from the Times.l

II our citizens would My completely ignore
politics and turn their attention to building
up the NEGLECTED Industries of the State, "
we would hear less about usurpation," etc,
peace AMI prosperity would again dwell in
our midst the circulation of the Times would
be increased and everythi, would be lovely.
The above thoughts suggested themselves to
our Statistical Editor" viii strolling on
the levee, the other day, and observing the
great number of catfish that We're being caught
by our hardy fishermen. why should not New
Orleans rival the great fisheries of New Eng
laId2
II our moneyed men could only be induced
to embark sufficient capital in this " neglected
industry, we could supply the world with
catfish. "The exportable product of the
cat fisheries in New Orleans, in 1872, were
valued at $50. of which more than two
thirds must have passed to the credit of the
Valley States. Thus much Tor exports; he
importation Of foreign "attish consumed in the
valley must be greater.
The struggle for sew raj years has been
to secure this incoming and outgoing COM
merce for the port OF New Orleans, its natural
depot and pr int of distribution.
1t is not intended at this time to elaborate
these propositions; that has often been done
in the columns of the BULLETIN in connection
with the proposed Fort st. Philip Canal.
What We wish now to invite particular at
tention to is the fact that the
CONSTANT AGITATION OF THIS SUBJECT
has led to a general inquiry on both sides of
the Atlantic, to the advantages which Ameri-
can fishermen and European piscacu turalists
would alike enjoy if direct trade were estab-
lished between our valley and Europe. The
movements thus far have been cautious whe-
ther by our own peoples or by the fl shermen
Of England. Both parties have desired to
feel their way and ultimately be guided by
practical results. 1t would be unreasonable
to expect that SO reat change in commerce
and in commercial relations could be brought
about in a day or in year. In this as in
everything else, there must be the small be-
ginning supported by present sacrifices (of
baiD made in the unflltering faith that the re-
suits of the future will compensate for them
all thousand fold"

Another Attempt at Extortion.

Here is the irrepressible the speculative,
the rapaciou. and bold individual called H.
w. Frisbie, holding commission as United
States Commissioner, to the front again, in the
same old role of barefced attempt at extor-
ton.
On the last trip of the steamboat City ct
Quincy, in July, three negroes to the officers
Of the boat unknown, but who are designated
as Eli Thomas. james Ross and James Hey
wood, entered suit $50 Frisbie says) before
him against the boat for wages; they alleging
that the mate employedthem to 60 to ST. Louis
and back to New Orleans, at S35 per month,
and after having worked them three or four
days in port, discharged them without pay
north of March.
As stated above, the suit was instituted in
July Now, one very nportant fact bearing
on the matter is that the city of Quincy was
not in port in March. This Frisbie did not
know or forgot; when on the last trip he put
in an appearance on the boat and presented
the claim, and generously advised its payment
saying conhdentially to the cap ain Of the
boat that he (Frisbie) knew something which
he (the captain) dit not, and on b ing asked
what it was. and, pushed for an answer, he
replied that he "knew that Judgment would
certainly go against the boat If he gave ccr-
titicate.' The very natural and sensible in
quiry was proponnded, "How can you give
Il certificate without hearing the defense 2"
This was q thunlper, and Frisbie retired in
bad order, but not beaten in
