An Apparent Outrage Perpefrated on
the Golden Rule.
New Orleans Picayune, Thursday
A couple of roustahout3 brought suit
yesterday before the United States COM
missioner, for eight dollars apiece,
against the steamer Golden Rule, for
work they did not perform. 1t appears
that the rOCstabOuis hired on the boat at
Cincinnati, and on the arrival of the
beat at this pOrt were duly paid eff and
discharged. The reason for their dis
missal was for sinking their duty. A
summons was served on Captain Shin
kle, who sent his chief mate out to the
customhou5e to attend to the matter,
and when in the commissioners ssnctum
he proceeded to give his testimony, when
the judge ordered him to stop, and went
so far as to show him the door. When
these facts became known to Captain
Shinkle, that gentleman went cut and
gave bond, and had the boat released.
After writing the above, we learn that
the judge decided that the Captain could
pay the cost of court and lake bach to
Cincinnati the two roustabOuts, or pay
the two roustabou!s the sum Of eight dol
lars each, aud the roustaboUts could re-
main sE this porG. Csptain Shinkle had
a similar case while in command of the
steamer Charles BOdman. The case
was tried before United States Commits
sioner Weller, who decided against the
boat, and Captain ShInkle appealed it,
and when the case Gsme up before Judge
E. n. Durell, that judge decided in favor
of the boat, at the same time ruling
that the law governing vessels on the
high sea3 were not applicable to steam
ers navigating inland waters; that
captain of river steamer had right to
discharge any of the crew at port OF
entry. We have noticed several cases
before commissioners like that before
the commissioner yesterday, and can
only add that they are likely to occur
until a change Of government, which
will no doubt take place in November
next.
