JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE,

By the hostile action of the Courts of
this country and Great Britain the hither-
to supposed-to-be inalienable rights Of
the curbstone loafer and the haunter of
theater and church doors are being, from
time to time, put in jeopardy.
To lounge about street corners and
public places, where ladies are obliged to
pass-to salivate the sidewalks with
tobacco juice-to puff the smoke of
cheap cigars in the faces of passers-by-
to stare rudely and improperly at every
attractive female face, and to indulge at
will in libidinous remarks, have come to
be regarded as amongst the valuable fran
chises of a scurvy class of men, who are
educating themselves for the House of
Correction or the Penitentiary. With
such the judiciary is interfering.
In Manchester, England, landlord
at Assizes recently ruled that it was
strictly legal for any man to kick street
loafer, or any one who chronically hangs
around public places to stare at and
comment Extensively upon those passing.
By virtueof this decision "kicking clubs"
are being organized in all the larger cities
of the United Kingdom. The only re-
quirements of membership are to arm
our pedal extremities with double-soled,
copper-toed brogans, and to be able to
stand on one foot for given length of
time. This requires some drill.
The Courts in New York City have
taken hold of the matter also. Only last
week a fashionably dressed ruffian was
vent to the Penitentiary for six months
for insulting several ladies who were
coming out Of downtown church. A
short time since lady in crowded
street car, feeling herself rudely stared
at by a fellow-passenger, gave him a
smart tap across the nose with her para.
vol, and the Court before whom she was
arraigned for the assault, ruled in the
lady's favor. She was only repelline
one assault by another-acting merely
in self-defense. In another case the
lady was not quite so fortunate in
resenting the persistent gaze Of a
gentleman in whose company she Lap
pened to be. When she had borne with

THE GRAIN BARGEs OF THE MISSISSIPPI

THE GRAIN BARGES OF THE MlSSlSSlPPl.
Since the war the movement of grain
from st. Louis to New Orleans by river
has never regained the activity it dis
played in former years, while the product
of the grain fields of the Northwest, in
creasing in value year by year, has
sought the seaboard via Chicago and the
great railroad arteries that have devel-
oped these later years across the country.
This movement has become, however,
during the past year so enormous
that persons interested in grain
have turned attention once more to
the vast capacities Of the Mississippi
River for floating this precious COM
modify cheaply to the sea. st. Louis
shipping merchants, alive to the deep
Importance to their city of this neg
lected interest, have been for months
multiplying facilities for the work. A
system of steamboats, and barges have
been inaugurated that bids fair, in a
short time, to revolutionize the ship
ment of grain from the great Mississippi
Valley. The st. Louis journals of re-
cent date chronicle the departure of a
single tow of barges from that city which
contained over 100000 bushels of corn.
To show the magnitude of this single
river facility for transportation Of bulk
grain to the seaboard, in comparison to
the number of railroad cars and trains
which would be required for the same
amount, it may be stated that these
100000 bushels would occupy 600 cars,
and at the average of 20 cars to freight
train would make up 80 trains with as
many engines, and at least employing
12O men-engineers, firemen, conductors
and brakemen. The freight by barge
may be stated at s cents per bushel, and
the freight cost to New Orleans at 81, 400
Contract price not known), while at 404
cents per hundred to New York the
transportation cost would be nearly
three times as much per bushel. The
Iron Mountain and barges have made
two previous trips with grain to New
0 Orleans-carrying first 100000 bushels,
and second 270, 900 bushels.
The above shipment was made by the
Iron Mountain and barges of the Mound
City Transportation Company, includ-
ing the Grand Republic and four other
barges. The Grand Republic carried ON
this trip 100000 bushels Of corn, and the
four other accompanying barges took
200, 1000, or $4,000 bushels each.
In addition to the above freightine
line there are the Mississippi Valley and
the St. Louis Transportation Companies,
including an aggregate of not less than
60 barges of $4,000 bushels capacity
each, exclusive of the ordinary capaciou'
river tonnage, which is capable of con
veying grain to the seaboard at rates
that are unapproachable by any rail
roads constructed on the present system
If any one supposes the Mississippi Rive
is a played-out institution we woul'
respectfully suggest that he is yer,
much mistaken individual.

work to build up the South. With
this line from st. Louis to Savannah
he had made a great step in this
direction. This in active operation,
he would next demand a prorate from

An e STEAMER.
E-Rssage Of the New Steamer
FIOriOa.

A sea vessel called the Florida, a
beautiful craft, passed here yesterday
afternoon destined by way of the Gulf
Of Mexico, Key West and the At
lantic ocean to Savannah, Ga. There
the steamer is to ply along the coast
and up the st. Johns river to Jack
sonville, Florida. The principal traf-
fc on the course the Florida is to run,
is fruit and passengers. Very little
freight aside from fruit is carried.
The steamer is provided with a full
length cabin of exquisite design and
finish, and the outfit contains every
imaginable article hal could contrib
ute to the comfort of travellers. On
the lower deck is an immense bag
gage room, and also a colored
folks cabin, the latter beneath
that used for white passengers. The
boats machinery IS Off high and low
pressure system combined, and the
engineers are beautiful specimens Of
skilled workmanship. The steamer
has side wheels, is 1S5 feet long and
in shape and style is much like the
passenger boats running on Chesa-
peake bay out of Baltimore. The
vessel complete cost $685. 600, and wal

THE FREIGHT POOL.
Agitation Said to Have Broken II.

The conference committee from the
Cotton Exchange, and the railway
freight agents, after several days de-
liberation, consultation and consider
alton, are about to come to a conclu-
sion. Their reports viii be made this
afternoon to a called meeting of the
Cotton Exchange, and the prospective
favorable result, it is believed, will be
beneficial to our cotton interests. In
fact, many believe it will enhance the
value Of the staple a fraction in u
market. The conferences between
She respective interests, freight ship
pers and freight agents has produced
satisfactory results, and a very conser-
vative feeling has been manifested
from the start, and to conserve all
interestsit is said that pool restriction,
will be removed at once, so that all
competing freight lines may enter the
lists for business. This, it is
stated, has been decided upon
by the railroad men to avoid further
complications and complaints on the
part Of shippers, and the latter will
from this forth be allowed to choose
any shipping route they may prefer, or
that may offer the best and most ad-
%vantageOus rates. In refutation of
the recent charges made against
transportation lines by foreign cotton
shippers, the agents say that the rail
ways are in nOwise responsible for the
condition Of affairs or the freight
blockade at various points,
which has given rise to SO
much unpleasant comment. All lines
were blocked with cotton and other
freights during November last. Over
80 per cent of the cotton sold in this
market has been to spinners, and the
interior movement has been so heavy
that delay was unavoidable. The
charge of discrimination in rates is
claimed to be groundless. The party

leans for Europe of 11-32d, when the
lowest rate the Mississippi and Ten
nessee could get was 7-16d. Upon a
statement that such a rate was offered,
the Mississippi and Tennessee road
agency rendered a through bill to
Liverpool at 514d. The lowest rate
reported by interior lines has been
81 to SD per cwt. 1t is pleasant to
hear that the freight rate muddle is
not likely to stir the public mind
much longer.
