Those OF our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors OF the

their energies at some Of the many delightful

old favorite Jackson route, under u vigorous and
efficient management. has become one OF the
very best travelling thoroughfares IN the country

A sORA MBLE OVER A BURNED SHIP
AND CARGO.

The ship Gov. Morton, loaded with over
down the river caught fire when In the Passes
and was In great peril Of destruction when
one Of the steamers Of the towboat company
came to her rescue, and after much labor
succeeded In extinglilshing the fire. but not
until her cargo was worry seriously damaged.
The towboat company, then, taking posses
siun Of the Gov. Morton. towed her up the
river. and, fling libel for salvage, fixing
their claim nj two-thltds Of the value Of the
ship and cargo discharged the cotton at the
Lower Cotton Press. Then opened q war
between the various claimants to the pro-
ce eds Of the ship and cargo, which has wfxed
into a very fierce and vigorous conflict, liz
veying cotton-ptessnen underwriters, ship
agents. towboatmen, auctioneers and 9th
ers. the United States Marshal III the
meantime being constituted the stakeholder
N, retain The funds. the proceeds Of the ship
and cargo until Judge Billings can make 1t
conven lent to come down here and determine
the rights Of the various claimants. 1t may
illus trate the perils Il losses Of sticl calan-
tiles 10 refer to The amount of these various
claims.
First the towbnat company claims two
thrds Of the proceeds for salvage That
association also claims $4,000 for the towage
IF the ship TO the Lower Cotton Press.
The cotton press only claims $4,000 for stor-
nue and labor. Two inspectors claim dollar
n bale for inspecting. There are various other
charges. including the court and Marshal g
fees which sum up $4,000, and when the
owners Of the ship and the underwriters OBJ
tain leave from the court to bond the cotton,
they have TO deposit IN court, In cash. the total
amount Of these charges, and give good bonds
for the remainder. All these contests and
proceedings cause delay which depreeiates
the value of the cargo when 1t ls sold. 1t was
sold last Saturday, and The total pfoeeeds
amounted To some $12D.DDO. which, or tho
greater part Of It. was deposited tn tho
hands of Tho Marshal But one of the put-
ehssrts ut this sale was tho owner
of the cotton press which had filed
claim for $4,000 Of the charges, and he not
wishing to abide the great delay In allowing
his claim refused to pay the auetioneer fol
the cotton he had bought. He rendered re-
ceipt for his charges, which he contends give
him n lien on the cotton In otdsr to prevent
the auctioneer from tesellng he obtains an IN
junction against him. and having possession O
the cotton appears to have obtained nh advan
tppe which Ia regarded as nine-tenths OF th'
law.
Meantime some anxiety and curiosity ls
felt to know what will bo left TO the under
writer's and preprietors ofths ship and eargt
after these parties have recovered their va
rious claims. II has been sarcastically sug
rested that the underwriters would be quite
happyif they were allowed the iron ties OF tn
four thousand bales, which would be ea''iva
lent to the shells which liberal attorneys ar
wont to accord to their clients when the.
have swallowed the fat oyster.

A CORRECTION.

There appeared yesterday In our local col
,,nna d short article entitled 1.-THE Levee
eond Case" IN which IL was stated that the
Supreme Court, upon the application of AS
siptant Attorney General Egan, had granted
n rphearing In the Forstall case, wherein the
validity Of the levee bonds was recently Rus-
famed This statement turns out to be 40
vnsniouously ineSact that IL IL incumbent
anon ,,s 20 inform our readers how Ii came to
bc made.
Al about o'clock on Monday evening one
pf our reporters visited the Governor for the
purpose of ascertaining from him whether
he had received any Information on the sub
iect Of the umo,ed strike OF railroad EN-
ployes at McComb City. The Governor IN
formed him that he had heard nothing of any
such strike. Our reporter was about TO take
his leave. when the Governor, with his we'll
known kindness and courtesy towards jour
nalsts in eager quest of items, intimated to
him that, since he had come 90 far on false
scent, he would console him with u piece OF
news. Thereupon he stated to our reporter
i'm substance, that which Is embodied In the
article referred to,
We do not know who gave to the Governor
This information; perhaps It was tho result
of misunderstood telegram or something
OF that sort. But, however that may be, We
are now authoritatively informed that Will,
a rehearing was applied for. In the Forstal
and Mathers cases, IL was not only MOI
granted, but was refused by the court.

THE STRIKERS STANDPOINT.

We mblish this morning a communication
from Mr., Frank Heiderhoff upon tho subject
If the railroad strikes at the North, In which
he gives the strikers view OF the question:
which he also declares to be the popular one.
We have already expressed our sympathytor,
rather than nth, these poor, and in one re-
spect, oppressed people. Yet we can not
agree that they, or any other class OF persons,
have the right to resort to violent and turbu-
lent means in their efforts to right wrongs,
real or fancied. and protect themselves
against the aggressions of capital. Tho law
less spirit manifested in these riots is much
more dangerous to society and SUD-
yersive of all order and justice
than can be the arrangement,
| however violent, of the natural relations that
| exist between labor and capital, and which
should control their respective participation
| In the profits of the industries they carry on.
For this, II for no other reason, they must be
nut down with an iron and relentless hand
II cannot, be that thoughtful or law-loving
men will ever countenance any such demon
strations, though they may have deep ano
heartfelt sympathy with those whose suffer
| inys have driven them into them. The mo.
| ment men resort to such measures OF REDRESS
or revenge, they shut themselves oil from al
consideration.
Yet there is but little room for sympathy
for the CAPITALISTS, as we have shown at length
in another article Our correspondent MN
self suggests, however, in accounting Tor th'
condition of affairs that led to these riots
circumstances which show that no particular
individuals can be held responsible Tor them
They are the result of an extensive ana IONS
continued effort to force commerce from lt'
natural currents into artificial ones. This por
ton of Mr.. Heiderhof s letter merits
special attention: it must be apparent
from it that evils of such gradua
growth and such extensive proportions
cannot be remedied in a day, nor by any
such demonstrations as these. These
are questions which trade itself must settle
and which even legislation can exercise but
i limited influence in the solution OF. The
greater cheapness Of water transportation w

Amid all the awful and gloomy pictures
sketched for us by telegraph artists in regard
60 the riots which are sweeping through the
Middle States, dealing destruction and strilS-
ing terror to the hearts of the people, we
catch occasional glimpses of the ridiculous
and the pitiful. What could be more absurd
than a number of kid-glovcd, swallow-tatled
nahobs of Pittsburg waiting as committee
upon the furious mob, which was reeking
with the blood of murdered Philadelphia mil
itamen, and asking them to be good enough
To desist!
What could be moro pitiful than the atti-
tnde of the whilom blatant hraggart Har-
tranft, weakly and with blanched cheeks con-
Tossing his inability TO restore order in his
own State. This il the valiant soldier. the
patriotic Governor, who was so ready to hurl

shis Governor OF great commonwealth
