that Mr. P. Lsmia be permitted to occupy the
building on the waters edge at the foot Of Ursu-
lines street as . refreshment saloon and shelter
from rain and the suns rays for the accommoda-
ton Of the people doing business in that locality.
The building is now used for that purpose.
II is believed, however, at the City Hall that
the establishment is contrary to law, and that
to grant the privilege asked for would be quasi
exclusive privilege, inasmuch as to grant other
persons the right to establish refreshment
saloons along the water front would be.impracti-
cable and probably interfering with commerce;
and the privilege being given to one person,
there would be no good grounds for refusing it
to another.

THE GRAIN TRADE.
In all probability the ordinance establishing
the grain carrying railroad will pass to-day, with
possibly one dissenting vote, although there
seems to still exist DEERE on the part OF q
prominent City Administrator to insert clause
fixing the maximum of toll which the road shall
charge to the other railroads for the use of their
track to the elevator.
In this connection il might be mentioned, as
an item OF no little interest, that MIR. Charles
Dillingham; has addressed petition to the Coun-
Gil asking for the privilege Of erecting steam
engine on Peters street, in building or build

CUsTOM-HOUsE NOTES.

tion, with few dozen followers, but up to noon
they had not made an effort to see the Collector,
although they did call upon the Returning Board
chief
They have concluded that the Collector might
make up his mind to select the colored represen-
tation from each of the parishes, as foreshadowed
by the interview in Monday mornings DEMOCRAT,
and for that reason have concluded to abandon
all attempts at bulldozing the Collector again, for
the present at least. It developes now that
Stamps wanted to coax the Collector into viola
tion Of the rule laid down by the Secretary OF the
Treasury in having two

assigned to places in the customs Offices, but the
Collector couldn't see it. and then came the war
and the visit to Washington.
A new move was made yesterday for patronage,
that being by the white ex-Metropolitans, who
sent committee to wait upon the Postmaster
and Collector.
Their first visit was made to the Postmaster,
Parker, who did not, it seems, give them much
consolation, although they informed him, as is,
perhaps, . fact, that their colored brethren were
largely in the majority in the way Of carriers,
clerks, etc., even as thirty-fve would be TO
twenty; but the Postmaster did not seem to be
much moved by their visit, and told them, it is
said, that they were not Representative" as
their committee did not include even one colored
brother.
When the Postmaster was interviewed upon
the subject of the visit by DEMOCRAT reporter
he hadn't the slightest bit Of information to i'm.
part. and. in fact, was exceedingly n-commlttal
upon all questions, and especially 80 upon those
that were leading, though he did say that he did
not think that the colored race had larger rep
resentation in his postoffce than the whites.

THE CUsToM.HoUsE COMMISSION.

A Observation-Disclosures Hints to Our
Timid Merchants.
Yesterday we made comparison between the
compensation of different employees Of the
gauge''s department, as viewed by the commits
sion. It was slip Of the pen that caused us to
attribute the employees alluded to to the gauger's
department, whereas they should have been
allotted to the sceigher's department. The
gauger has only one employe.
The commissions attention has been called to
another inconceivable provision of the law regu-
lsting the customs revenue system. It appears
that the consignee at this port of goods IN
hansitu
FOR FOREIGN PORTS,
which are Of that class not to be appraised here,
is required to give bond to secure the govern
ment's charges, and the return Of the certificate
Of appraisement and delivery by the customs off.
Ger Of the foreign port Of destination.
This Is considered another absurdity in the
law, for IL is Justly thought to be unreasonable
that q consignee in this city should be held re-
sponsible for the possible delinquencies Of an
official Of foreign power.
There were more complaints entered with the
commission again yesterday by importers, partic-
ularly in the matter Of
EXCESSIVE sAMPLINd.
One of the merchants being asked yesterday
why complaints were not made to the heads Of
departments when Irregularities occurred, re-
piled that the prevailing belief among importers
was that sit would do no good" This the COM
mission think 10 sad commentary ON the inde-
pendence OF our merchants, but they make an
allowance In their favor when the bayonet rule Of
past years is considered. and during which our
people were impressed with the belief that they
could obtain no redress of the injuries inflicted
upon them from any quarter.
The committee are said to be surprised at the
SMALL NUMBER OF APPEALS
made to the Secretary Of the Treasury by the
importers of New Orleans, as compared with the
number from New York, Baltimore and other
is to Fifty. And yet, they say the law is very
clear. In cases Of over-appraisements the mat
ter in dispute has only to be referred to two mer
chants. whose decision settles the question.
It is believed that great deal Of wrong has
been done by these er-appraisements, and the
efforts of the commission will be directed to cor
recting abuses II the charges are substantiated
after investigation. As we had the occasion to
say once before,

who are supposed to ignore the existence OF
abuses or wrong doing, since those who suffer
thereby fail utterly to apply to them for redress.
The commissioners are still hoping that all
who may have suffered or been annoyed through
customs officials will follow the example Of those
who have just preceded them, and come forward
now, in person or by letter, and make such COM
plants or suggestions as will assist the commits
sion in correcting evils and in establishing sys-
tenn that will facilitate commerce and at the |
same time secure to the government all the reve-
nues to which il is entitled,

selves as comfortable as possible and

Such is the effect of the climate and
our geographical and commercial
relations, we lack that strong,
vigorous middle class of mechanics
and artizans found in manufacture
ing cities, where there is a greater
diversity of pursuits aud labor
Yet, with all these disadvantages,
there are elements of intelligence
in our midst, men both rich and
poor, who feel the need of a centra'
and a well established library, ample
to meet the wants Of the many and
accessible to all without that air Of
exclusiveness, which repels. We
have but few Of the dilettante with

where all entitled to go shall fee
welcome and on an equality o

that the Odd Fellows contemplate
establishing a permanent library Of
this character at an early day. 1t il

ganization formed that will enlist

is believed that they can secure the
four thousand volumes accumulated

ton, and that books eau be acquired
by gift and otherwise from various
other sources, sufficient to start &
very respectable library. If the
Odd Fellows undertake it they vii
succeed, for they have the building
the capital and a thoroughly Syste.
matte way Of doing business. The
details have not all been agreed
upon, but will be announced in du,
time. The aim viii be to make thu
place attractive and accessible ; t
place rich stores of useful knowl
edge within easy reach of the many
foster a taste for letters, stimulat
intellectual growth, and build up
community of intellect to direc
and exercise an influence upon tn
community of money-makers. Til
enterprise is a most laudable one
and we trust will soon be inaugu
rated.
