The John B. Maude, for Vicksburg at ten
o'clock this morning, and the Colorado for
st. Louis, at five this evening, are the Anchor
liners to-day.
At this writing the indications are favora-
Bile for a weatheristic visitation similar to the
one that did so much devilment up In Iowa
and Wisconsin Thursday.
The Ruth arrived from White river and
commenced choking stump for the remain
der of the season, it beng mutually agreed
between the two popular shippers on White
river, Milt Harry and Ed Postal, that the
Hard Cash shall do the summer season &C.
cording to the rules Of solitaire, as it were.
The John B. Maude, which passes down for
Vicksburg at ten o'clock this morning is one
of the most reliable of all the packets run
ming into this port. Captain w. H. Blake,
her commander, and William Gobel her clerk,
have an enviable reputation in their respect
I've departments.
The Golden Rule sailed up this morning
with 300 tons freight and her cabin full Of
A,,x do, a,,I o,1x
hours out from New Orleans, making twenty
landings. That's hard to beat for a boat of
wet end persuaslons. She discharged here
few packages and took on few packages.
The wreck of the towboat, Warner, that
blew up two or three weeks ago, is lying In
thlrty-seven feet of water on the edge of the
bar at the point opposite Presidents island.
At low water she will be in fourteen feet of
water, and it Is thought that the starboard
boiler is un1njured. 1t will necessitate the
use of armour in recovering the engines and
boiler, more especially as the river is clearing
the bar from beneath the hull.
Cincinnati Times, Friday evening: A
dispatch to Captain Vlnt Shinkle, this
morning. reported the Golden Crown dis
abled at Newburg, above Evansville, having
lost her shaft and wheel overheard Her
machinery and timbers were uninjured. The
Champion No. 8 left at noon to bring the
Crown up. a new shaft is awaiting her ar
sound, but deemed safe enough to make an
other trip with, while new one was being
cast. She will not be detained in her de-
parture to New Orleans, and will be ready to
leave on her Wednesday next.
Pittsburg Dispatch: "An important trial
took place In the United States court during
the week, and although the trial resulted in
disagreement of the jury for the second
time, Judge Ketcham laid down the law in
such a plain manner that steamboatmen
need not err. The judges charge stated that
colored passengers on steamboats, were enti-
tied to the same treatment as white people,
but on that account there was no necessity
for the parties to eat together at the same
table or sleep together In the same state
room. A steamboat captain had a right to
make rules and regulations for the manage
ment of his own boat. For instance, there
should be two tables, the fare and accommo-
datlons being equal-one for the colored pas
sengers, the other for those that did not wish |
10 associate with them. In this way they
would be all treated with the same respect. |
withoutsDys 1anCs for diseg se nent: Suppose |
t lere were ten cUlored Passengers and ten |
white, and all entitled to staterooms it is not |
necessary to place black and white in the |
sume 70 m, when each color could have |
rJom to themselves. In this way all trouble |
q dissatisfaction could be avoided, and all |
have equal treatment. In some of the west |
e-n and southern boats there are two cabins, |
one fitted up especially for colored passen- |
Rls. Some years since a case of this kind |
occurred. A coiored passenger, who had |
raid his passage, refused to occupy the cabin !

and aeepingep the cabin set apart for the |

passenger the left the cabin and remained !!
