NEW ORLEANS, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1875.

| and travel by this route are of great im-
pOrtance to New Orleans. and should be
| encouraged in every way.
Thlrd-The harbormaster's exaction OF
three cents per ton is evidently illegal, for
| the same reason, being a duty OF tonnage
| the consent OF Congress. The decision in
| Cannons case seems to dispose Of this, as
! we'll as the decision in the case Of the pOr:
I Wardene, 6 Wallace, o. 81.
FOurth-The port warden's charge of s.,
I s'service or no service" was declared illegal
for the same reason, in case of Steamship
Company vs.. Port Wardeps, Wallace, ..
81, above alluded to.
As far as these illegal exactions by har-
bormasters and port vardens are con
cerned, it seems to your committee that the
Governor Of the State, Who appoints these
officers. and who is specially charged. IS
chief executive, with che prevention OF
offenses and illegal acts. might be properly
appealed to. II he should prove unable or
unwilling to put a stop to such exactiOns,
It would seem that the courts might be
successfully called upon 20 interfere.
The members of the committee are Messrs.
w. w. Howe. john ". Ssndigde and F. A.
Haber.
The report was adopted.
Judge Kennard made few remarks on
the fair prospect Of the New Orleans and
Texas Pacific Railroad, and Colonel Bur
we'll followed with come upon its import
ance. In this connection he spoke Of iRmi-
grafton from Great Britain especially, and
the Importance Of the cotton crop TO that
country. What was needed was an alliance
between the cotton grower and cotton spin
nef.
Colonel Burwell offered the following
resolutions:
Rcsolred, That the president appoint
committee OF nine to ascertain, by any
mode OF information accessible, and re-
port
l. Whether the government of Great
Britain would approve that her emigrant
agricultural labor shall take the direction
OF the cotton planting zone Of the United
States, a1d especially to that portion thereof
lying in the alluvial basin of the Missis-
sippi, and chiefly within .he States Of Louis
lana and Mississippi.

Total


This bill is made up as follows: Fifteen
cent? per ton for wharf and levee dues;
three cents per ton for harbOrmaster, and
IS for portw ardens, whether the latter sen-
der any service or not.
In regard to these items, we find:
First-The sO-called 'longshoremens act,
No. 70, of 1874, was declared unconstitu.
tionsl about q year since by the First Dis
trict Court Of New Orleans, court Of last
resort in that special matter.
If any annoyance is still experienced
that the parties who are annoyed apply to
the police authorities for assistance, or, if
need be, to the civil courts.
Second-The city wharf and levee duty of
fifteen cents per ton was declared illegal by
the Supreme Court of the United States in
Cannon vs.. New Orleans, 20 Wallace, 579,
if levied on all vessels arriving at this port:
it being considered duty Of tonnage"
which no State or municipality created by
State can levy without the consent Of
Congress. The court in rendering the de-
cision declared, however, that the city
could probably require q reasonable COM
pensatiOn for the expense OF building and
maintaining her wharves. In accordance
with this suggestion, on the nineteenth of
January last, the Council adopted the ordl-
nance fixing and regulating the charges for
wharfage. levee and other facilities by the
city of New Orleans to commerce. The
point of the decision in Cannon's case
seems to have been that the wharf duty
of SO much per tonnage was levied by the
city on all vessels that came to the port,
whether they occupied q wharf or not.
The above ordinance attempts 20 con-
form to the decision, and 1t the same time !
levy Q charge OF fifteen cents per ton on !
all vessels engaged in the gulf trade which |
use the city wharves. We do not under |
take to say that this ordinance is also |
illegal.
II the amount be unreasonable it seems |
hat the Common Council should be ap-
oealed to. s....--,o-

Poor SPAIN.-There are two wars at
once in poor Spain. Alfonso has a hard
hight to put down the Carlists who have
a wonderful faculty of getting on their
feet as fast as they are overthrown.-
And the Pope's priestly legiOns are at
the same time struggling to squelch
the rising Protestant interest, and to
make religious liberty impossible. 1t
Is not remarkable that the Pope is striv-
ing to secure for the government in
Spain the power that in Germany is re-
garded as great outrage, but the diff
erenee Is thai in Germany a Protestant
Is on the throne, and he must let the
church alone but in Spain a tool of the
Pope is king, and the more power he
has IN church matters the better. So
1t always happens that circumstances al
ter cases.
There is scarcely moral force in Spain
sufficient to maintain any form of Con-
stitutiOnal government and the princi.
pies of to-day may be abrogated to.
morrow. 1t Is the most thoroughly Ro.
manned people in Europe. and there.
fore the most incapable Of governing
themselves or sustaining the forms o.
laws.

cHRIsT,s CHARACTER.

By character we too often mean only
purity. The purity of Christ was GER
tainly large part of that fame he has
left behind him. But what mankind
needs is not simple purity of life. A
child may possess a spotless soul. We
fan to see true greatness if we look for
1t only IN the fields of morality in the
simple obedience Of moral law. Besides
obeying the statute and moral law the
soul must possess a life and impulse and
mission of its own. The spotless puri-
ty OF Christ is so beautiful in our wick
ed world that it binds us to the train of
virtues that entered also into his char
acter Mark the personal independence
Of this Son Of Man. Tie Pharisees
could not brighten him, nor the power
loving tempt HIM. His own definite
purpose lay before him. He did not de.
cline riches and equipage and comforts
OF life because they we're wicked, but
because they were apart from his work.
They were able to be only drains upon
his power and time Though the Mosa-
&c law surrounded him in its written
and unwritten form, and though all were
slaves Of its precepts, yet Christ coming
from a carpenter shop displayed at once
the most perfect independence of thought,
and reviewed that law iu a most master
ly manner. The Mosaic law never re.
covered from these mountain-side re.
views. It's sun began to decline, and
the new sun Of new Righteousness be-
gan to rise. Such an original life seen
IN an earthly philosopher would have
awakened the worlds admiration. In.
deed when seen in a Luther, or any
modern hero. such personal independ-
ence has always awakened reverence.
these heroes are all limitations of Christ
he was free soul. This independence
seen In Christ is not desire for con.
met nor any part of egotism, but is only
another name for freedom of the indi.
vidual. Often Christ spoke of personal
liberty. He said, IF the truth shall
make yOu. free, you shall be free indeed. >
But there was no freedom in that mint
that lived under clouds of error. and n,
freedom in that heart that had not tn
herOism to fight against sin. Chris
stands before US not only the image O
virtue, but Of personal freedom. and O
personal courage, and the image of
heart with purpose. The resurrectio,
from the dead was an appropriate clos
ing scene for such career 1t was wei
for the body 10 do at last what the sou
has been doing so long and grandly.-
Thus we see IN this Son Of Man some q
the essential elements Of character. The
are purity, purpose independence am
heroism.-Darid Sloing.

WOMAN's CHARM OF NEEDLE-woRK.-
There is something exquisitely pleasant
and touching-at least of a very sweet,
soft and winning effeet-in this pecul-
iarity of needle-work, distinguishing
men from women. Our own sex is in
capable of any such by-play aside from
the main business of life; but women
be they of what earthly rank they may,
however gifted with intellect or genius,
or endowed with artful beauty-have
always some little handiwork ready to
fill up the tiny gap of every vacant mo-
ment A needle is familiar to the fin
gers of them all. A queen, no ubt,
plies it on occasions the woman-poet
can use it as adroitly as her pen; the
woman's eye that has discovered a new
star turns from its glory to send the pol
ished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a
casual flaw in her dress. And they have
the advantage of US in this respect. The
slender thread Of silk or cotton keeps
them united with the small, familiar,
gentle interests of life the continually
operating influences do much for the
health Of the character, and carry of
what would otherwise be a dangerous
accumulation Of morbid sensibility. A
vast deal of human sympathy runs along
this electric line, stretching from the
throne to the wicker chair of the hum.
blest seamstress, and keeping high and
low in a species of common union with
their kindred beings. Methinks it is q
token of healthy and gentle character.

and high thoughts love to sew, especial
ly as they are never more at home Will
