brothers in reality as well as in name. 1t is our
desire TO elevate tho character, standing, and
qualifications Of every marine engineer who be-
comes associated with I'd. We do not encourage

amended that while 1t is law 1T shall also be
justice.

elevate the profession, and mean that the fact OF
an engineer berg o member of our Association

We shall be pleased to furnish you all informa-
ton regarding the necessary steps to organize an
association; such as cost of charter, number OF

LOUISVILLE, March 31.-Msyor Jacob, seeiug
the necessity of a re uction in wharfage, wisely
vetoed the ordinance fixing the rates Of wharfage,
night before last, in the Council, and the veto
was sustained BY the board and the subject re-
ferred to the Wharf and Revision Committee
He favored o. reduction of rates, and said in sab
stance that the city had been very liberal in its
subscriptions to railroads, while on the other
hand, it had beer very close-dsted and illiberal
to the river interests" We trust now that the
Wharf and Revision Committee will see at once
the necessity Of a reduction and an immediate
one-for the marine and commercial interests of
our city have suffered seriously by ii, and the
sooner reduction is made the better for the city.
We thank the Mayor for his veto. Now let us
give thanks to the two committees for liberal
and we will be happy. Steamboatmen
will rejoice, business will be revived, and Louis
vile will lift her head out OF the dust and put
her spring suit Of activity and make things lively
on the levees.
