oF1scs OF CNrsr srA-ss sHrrprSG comsssloSgR. I
New Orleans January l. 1875. !
The Honorable the !adSes OF the United States
Circuit Court
have the honor 70 submit the annual
report of this office from the frst day of
! January to the thirty first day Of December.
1874.
The documen. marked No. 81" shows the
number OF outward bound vessels Of all
classes, together with the number Of men,
the amount Of advances paid etc,
That marked No. ''2' the inward bound
| vessels. showing in u tabulated form the
total amount paid the sailor on discharge,
after completion Of voyage.
The number OF seamen reported as hav-
ing died is sixteen. report Of which has been
officially furnished the honorable the Cir.
cult Court as required by law.
The number of seamen shipped in this
| Office for the year 1874, was 1890. The
number discharged during the same period
was 1895.
l can not too forcibly impress the fact,
that the most powerful agent in debasing
the sailor may be found in the pernicious
system of paying Advances it is quite
eradicated. but little headway can be effect
ed in eleyating the manhood and moral of
the sailor. l have watched the system
carefully. and am well satisfied. that it will
be to the advantage of all to change it at
an early day.
Many ships leave this port with very ineffi
cieEt crews, for the reason that the captains
leave the shipment of the same to the mates,
who in many instances demand, and obtain,
G,l n X Il n !, q n fOr Nsl, nd
these circumstances the men so furnished
are the very worst in the profession, and
would not be shipped in this office as able
seamen.
The working Of this Office seems to give
general satisfaction. The merchants have
in all cases rendered me every assistance
in their power, for which am truly crate
tul.
Another matter OF great Importance,
which I consider my duty to bring to your
notice, is the small number Of American
sailors serving in our mercantile marine. l
am fully impressed with the necessity of
establishing an institution for the education
and training of boys intended for sea SER
vice, and more particularly to make pro-
vision tor large number of boys who are
running wild in our streets. The school
ships of England, France and Germany are
nurseries whence those countries draw
large proportion of their finest material for
their naval and mercantile marine.
! have almost daily applications from
very worthy clas, of young men and boys,
for positions in our mercantile marine, but
in consequence Of their lack of nautical
knowledge. their services can not be made
available.
Had We the much needed marine school,
employment could be found for an unlimit-
ed number of graduates.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM WRIGHT.

No CorruptioN

The legislative investigation into the bribery of members turned out about as we had expected. It wasn't an eager com mittee and with the assistance of able counsel they fonnd out as little as it was possible to find out. In the first place they were too modest to send for persons and papers, though the resolution under which they acted expressly gave them that power Says the Hartford Post:
 One of the men who knew the names of the squad of men whose votes were offered for sale. and who could have told the whole truth of that matter, as to the authenticity of which there Is not particle of doubt in the minds of those conversant with the facts, was not even asked to come before the committee, though he was known to be in the city during the last days sit ting. He had privately given ont that if called before the committee he would tell the whole story. He was defeated party, and there was possibility that he Daight feel ugly enough to disclose the truth. No effort was made to secure his attend ance. The man who had told two members of the House that he had paid money to a leading democrat to smooth the way for an appropriation from the treasury, was not summoned and did not appear. One of the members to whom this information was imparted went be- fore the committee, and after saying that he volunteered no evidence but was ready to be sworn, tcas su6ered to depart srith- out question being asked hiDa. Every man in the room knew to a moral certain ty that the first question would bring out evidence that would be fatal to at least one member of the House.
 The 'tsquad" referred to were the thir- teen members from this Congressional District offered for the modest sum of S25 a head in the Plantsville matter-whether by person authorized to treat for them. is the question. Even the suspicion of purchase at any price, and especially at such price, makes Litchfield county man ashamed of his "local habitation.

The Veteran Eneamnmsnt.

The veteran soldiers of the State have been celebrating the tenth year of the close of the var and their muster out of the service by general reunion at Char ter Oak Park, near Hartford. The Park association granted them their beautiful grounds free of charge, and theState leg islature gave them the use of all needed tents, beds and blankets. only taking a sufficient bond for their safe return.
 The citizens of Hartford had the camp laid out and twenty-five rows of ':A" tents with ten in each TOW were pitched, a good wall tent, with ':fiy" at the head of each street for the officers, then She usual Field officers tents, in the rear, covering about six acres The rooms under the grand stand were rented to pie-venders, suffers, and lager dispensers, while on the grand stand rife range was located from which was kept up a continual picket fir ing.
 On Tuesday about five hundred Vets. appeared and drew rations of candles, soap and ice water. At night real Virgin ia pinewood was issued and blazing camp fires illuminated the scene while merry songs, tough stories, and hearty laughs reminded one of marching through Geor- gia-"
 On Wednesday about three thousand were present, besides several thousand spectators. The forenoon was devoted to regimental reunions. music from Colts band and 8 variety of expeditions that slightly resembled foraging. At 3 P. m- the assembly beat, the veterans marched by regiments to the Grand Stand, and hs- tened to speeches from Gov. Ingersoll and Col, Sprague, orator of the day, a poem from Col. Sumner, of Bridgeport. the singing of various camp songs, Gen. Joe Hawley acting as chorister, Colts Band playing the air, and about two thousand voices joining in the chorus. Speeches were also extracted from Gen. Hawley. L Hammond Trumbull, and others Tele- grams from absent soldiers in Washington and New York, and from Gen. Burnside were read. A detachment of the 2d Conn. Heavy Artillery fired salute in honor of Gov. Ingersoll, and showed that they had not forgotten their old tricks. At night the camp fires glowed again and all enjoy ed merry time.
 On Thursday various regiments had rife teams and competed for prizes during the morning. At noon they all took cars for Hartford and. escorted by 1st Regt c. N G. in uniform, marched through the principal streets, many of which were gaiIy decorated. After passing in review they were disbanded and left fo- home, all highly pleased with this first reunion, and many expressed the desire that another might be held at no distant day.
 Great credit is due to Gen. Birge and Adiutant Jewell and Quartermaster Dick enson for their admirable arrangements. We noticed large number of our eoun. ty veterans, though it was not so largely represented as those nearer and having easier access to the city.
