Interesting to River Mem,

A decision has just been rendered in
the United States Supreme Court in the
case Of Captain John Cannon against
the city Of New Orleans, involving the
question of the right of cities to charge
wharfage dues on vessels and steam
boats fer e purposes. The ques-
ton is IN extremely important one, and
adjusts a long disputed principle. In
this case, the court held that the ordi-
nance imposing levee dues on vessels
which stop at the wharves of the city,
or moor in the waters of the Mississippi
river within the city limits, is not COM
pensation for the use of the wharves,
but a tax on such vessels for the privil
eye of landing or mooring, and as thus
viewed is the assessment Of q tax for the
tonnage Of vessels, it falls directly with.
in the clause Of the Constitution pro.
hibiting a State levying such a duty
without the consent Of Congress. It
states that a municipality, building
wharves and piers for the use of com.
merce, may properly require some COM
pensation from vessels using them, but
it is said in so doing, care should be taken
not to 20 beyond the space of State au-
thority as limited by the Federal Consti-
tuition.

Washington Special to N. Y. Times. Dec. oO.1
Captain R. B. Lowry. at present com.
msnding the United States steamer
C~snsndaigua, has incurred the displeas.
ure Of the Secretary Of the Navy, and
in consequence has been "furloughed."
On board the C~anandaigna a literary
journal has been edited and publ shed
by the officers and crew called the
C~anandsigua Journal. Recently there
appeared in that journal an article in
which the administration Of the Navy
Department was subjected to criticism. A
copy Of the journal containing the
offensive article was taken ashore at New
Orleans and the criticism copied into
o Of the daily papers Of that city, and
was thus brought to the eye Of Secretary
Robson. Captain Barrett has been
detailed to relieve Captain Lowry, and
left here yesterday. To furlough" an
officer Of the navy is a kind Of punish.

pay is $500 per annum; his waiting

reducing this one hall, will leave him
but sl4O0 per annum. The time which
the furlough is to continue is not desig-
mated.

New ORLEANS, January THE Times
says: THE farce of State government
in Louisiana received another illustra,
ton yesterday. Practically we have nc
government, legal or illegal, and have
not had for the past two years. What
is the use Of this show Of respec.for State
rights2 The rule is that Of the musket,
sword aud central authority, and every.
body knows it. Proclamations by the
President and appeals for assistance by
Governor Kellogg are formalities which
do not cloak realthe nature Of the bust.
ness. There is no pretense in this case
Of a riot or Of an instruction. 1t is q
seizure Of the State House by United
States troops in a time Of peace, a dis.
solution Of the Assembly and a forcible
expulsion Of its members.
The Picayune says: For the first time
in the history Of the United States
armed soldiers have invaded a legisle
tive hall aud bsyonets have been used to
expel representatives Of the people from
their seats. No one eve dreamed that
the President had the right to employ
the army for the purpose Of shaping the
organization Of a State Legislature. In
this case there was no such emergency
as the law contemplates, and no call
was made upon him through the chan
mel which the law points out.
There was no instruction, no invasion.
The General Assembly was in session,
and had not asked him to interfere.
Simply there was an organization of the
House which was not agreeable to Kel-
logg, and upon Kellogg's requisition he
sent his forces TO drag from their
seats members whom Kellogg as
serted not TO be- properly chosen,
and to constitute an organization under
his direction. There is no escape from
this statement Of facts. Gen. Trobiand
announced that he was instructed to obey
Governor Kellogg's orders. and that it
was in compliance with Kellogg's order
that be broke the organization Of the
House."

NEW YcaK. January 5.-Msyor Wick
ham has sent 9 REORGANIZATION to several
heads Of departments emphasizing the
recommendation in his message that an
end be put to the practice Of sending
persons to Albany to effect or influence
legislation having particular reference to
the department represented. The com
munition. it is rumored. was suggested
BY the knowledge that Comptroller
Green's agents are already in Albany
endeavoring to secure fresh legislation
affecting his Office. The Mayor has or
dered the corporation counsel, E. Della
field Smith, to show cause why he should
not be removed. The Mayor, in the
course of a long letter to the corporation
counsel. says: your appointment to
Office. so plainly tracesble to the agency
Of these men, Tweed and his henchmen,
kept them in the same relations to the
law department that they held under
your predecessor. The claims against
Tweed and his associates, involving
many millions of dollars, are now, by
the decisions of the highest courts,
placed exclusively in charge Of your
department, and we have reached the
fourth year since the last of these frauds
was committed. No gentleman standing
in your relation to Tweed and his associ-
ates could prosecute them with the zeal
and active energy needed to compete
successfully with the large corpse Of
eminent and able councillors whom their
stolen millions enable them to employ"
The corporation counsel, in reply to the
Mayors letter, says that he can answer,
to the satisfaction Of every just mind,
every fact and every inference in the
communication which is calculated to
bring the administration Of the law de-
psrtment under criticism.
