A Cpeck OF War Over the Sailors
Wages Question.

THE WAGES STRUGGLE,

j
There was speck Of war-just small speck
| Yesterday afternoon over the sailors' wages
difficulty. Oscar Brown, Union seaman, and
! two non-Union men on the schr Annie o. Han
son, which was lying at the Lumber Market,
we're the participants. The Union men stated
| that the former was passing across the deck Of
| the Hanson, and asked two men on board Of
her what rate OF wages they we're receiv-
| ing, when they beset him and tight
| ensued, during which Brown was slight
ly hurt. Officer Murphy took Brown
IN custody at the instance Of Capt. John An
derson, Of the Hanson, but ler him 70 on the
refusal Of the latter to appear at court against
him and prefer charges. Capt. Anderson stated
that bis men Informed him, that Brown abused
Lvons, whom crowd OF Union men had threat
eneda the 23th ult. Brown also hit one Of
the tS6 young men who were on the vessel. and
they struck him back. A warrant was subsc-
quently issued for Browns arrest, but
upon what charge Capt. Anderson did not state.
Powers, OF the seamen's Union, and counter
charges may result il the former Is arrest d.
Tie affair caused considerable excitement
around the Lumber Market, but the Union sail
o1s, who were about in considerable force, made
no demonstrations OF Il threatening or disorder
" kind:
A leading member Of the Seamen's Union de-
sircs rIE TRIBUNE to state that that body will
back its assertion to the amount OF $500 thatthc
schrs Richard Winslow and Niagara paid their
crews 50 per day per man, and not less, as stat
ed BY the agent OF the vessels, Capt. W. ".
Egan. -
: The seamen's Union met again yesterday
afternoon in Meridian Hall, and resolved to
stick to the demand for $500 day. 4 letter
was read from President HaeKett, OF the Cleve-
land Union, stating. that he had furnished a
correspondent of Chicago newspaper with the
report that number OF vessels, which he
named, had engaged seamen at SITS day,
and he found that the newspaper IN question
had wlllfully and maliciously changed |
the figures SO as to make the rate Of wages our !
Of Cleveland Sl.50 dav- Mr.. Hackstt also !
stated that be had proof that the Cleveland cor !
sent the correct figures to the Chi |
cago newspapers referred to, and he expressed |
the belief that the rate was changed purely out !
Of personal spite against the Seamen's Union. i
The matter will probably be the subject OF an !
inquiry By committee.
The schooner Higgie s. Jones and bark Naiad /
were reported By Union seamen to have paid |
S2. 90 day to the men Ut their crews. The e. P.
Baldwin was variously reported Us paying S1.50

There was no apparent change in the state o1
the market for grain freights yesterday. Car
ricrs adhered to &c as the rate OF corn to Buf-
fa1o by sail, and shippers were unwilling to par
more than Sc. Some OF the propellers have
taken on little lots Of grain, but the agents say
no rates have been decided on except TO New
England points, the rates to which are about l2c
per bu. The prop Commodore takes 5000 bu
corn for Boston, probably at the rate quoted
above.
The Directors Of the Board OF Vessel
owners held 4 conctave yesterday morn
Ing IN the commlttee-room OF the Cham
ber Of Commerce, but several of the ccn-
tlcman said they did not do anything. It was
understood, however, that no change was made
in freight Fntes, aud the reported cut of the
taken.
The report in yesterdays TRIBUNE that the
steam barge Davidson and two consorts bad
been chartered at cut-rate-three ceuts-on
corn to Buffalo, was generally credited, but vcs-
sel-u]en did not think the engagement would
cut any figure in the matter OF reducing rates,
Alter Monday 35c additional will be charged for
storage for rhe ten days following, aud 10 the
meantime vessel men are anticipating better in
quiry for room.

will contain letter from David A. Wells al-
dressed to Eugene Casserly, C. ". Howard, and
others, OF California, respecting the practicable
ty and expediency OF the tax provisions em-
bodied In the proposed new Constitution. He
says tho document treats credit secured by
mortgage not as property, but as an interest in
o1 representative Of property. But 10 endeayor-
ing to apply this principle, its trainers have
evidently overlooked the fact that tax
on mortgaged property Us m entirety
is equally tax on all the interests in and re2re-
sentatlVes Of that same property, or that taxa
ton Of the whole thing necessarily embraces all
It's parts aud incidents. Furthermore, it needs
no argument to prove that 1t is far less expen-
slve' cumbersome, and annoying to tax given
property as whole rather than its numberless
possible or imaginary subdivisions, representa-
tlves, and titles. But this latter method is ex-
actly what the new Constitution prescribes shall
be followed in respect to mortgage in
terests In property in California For the
reduction OF the valuation OF mortgaged
property for the purpose OF taxation to the e1-
tent OF the mortgage, and the coincident exac-
ton Of the mortgage interest In the property to
the mortgagee (as proposed), is the practical ex-
emption OF the mortgage from all taxation, and
q taxation OF the mortgagcd property in sub
divisions, Instead Of as IN entirety, which lat

live" Madame BOnaparte and hen
son returned to Baltimore. The bus.
baud, whose temporary affection fol-
her there seems to be no reason to
doubt, yielded TO the solicitation Of
his brother the emperor, and in about
two years married the Princess Fred
erica Catharina Of Wurtemburg.
Madame Bonaparte made several
visits to Europe after the second mar
riage of her husband. On one occa-
sion, in Florence, she met him in a
picture gallery. He whispered TO the
Princess Frederick, who accompanied
him, That is my former wife, and
disappeared. In spite of persistent
81 Arts on her part her marriage was
never recognized in France. The case
was formally tried after the accession
Of Napoleon III, but judgment went
against her. That sovereign, however,
instructed his council of ministers to
issue a decree that the madame's son,
Jerome BOnaparte, was "a legitimate
child of France = whatever the
words may mean.
The failure of Madame Bonapartc
did not conduce to sweetness of tenn
per. She became noted for her Opin-
a~tiveness, avarice, atheism and general
sccentricity, Her father paid her this
touching tribute in his will
THE conduct of my daughter Betsy
has through life been so disobedient
that in no instance has she ever con-
suited my opinions or feelings; indeed,
she has caused me more anxiety and
trouble than all my other children pat
together; her folly and misconduct
have occasioned me a train of expert
ence that first to last has cost ME
much money"
He left her a small share of his pro-
perty-the sum currently reported be-
ing $1,000 AS time bore her along,
her tongue became untamable, max
ing her a sort Of terror to her friends.
Her habit was not to varnish the tale
of J.erome's desertiOn of her. She al
ways despised the man. By penuri-
BUSINESS in a Baltimore boarding house
she is reported to have saved a good
deal of money, which will probably go
to Charles Bonaparte, one of her two
grandsOns. Of late her pen has been
very busy, and "The Memoirs of
Madame Bonaparte, Written by Her
will doubtless soon astonish a
world that will consider Greville's
Memoirs tame by the side OF them.
