Of the best that plies the lower Mis-
sissippi. Lloyd Whitlow, a gentleman
with whom it is a pleasure % travel
and do business, is her chief clerk,
and has associated with him in the
office Messrs. Plat Rhodes, Arthur
Browne and VIM. Dallam.
The jumping rousters suffer another
defeat. The colored rousters, to the
number of thirty, who had shipped on
the Henry Frank for the round trip
at $50 per month, and had nothing or
little to do on the up trip, jumped the
boat here, declining to perform their
duty because there was work in sight.
They in a body visited the U. S. com
missioner of this district, and
wanted to sue the boat for al
legged wages. The commissioner beinga
gentleman and man of integrity, re-
fused TO issue a process, stating that
he had enough of these worthless fell
lows appearing before him to sue a
boat and put her to a useless expense
on the most frivolous pretext. We
would have our contemporaries Of the
New Orleans press to impress it upon
the minds of these worthless
~rousters who have heretofore
had the advantage of steam
boatmen through the convenience
of unworthy and corrupt officials at
certain ports, that Memphis and espe-
cially this district is blessed with U.
s. Commissioners whom are gentle
men hat are recognized in the com
munity for their equity in law, and
they deal justice to all without grasp
ing after the fees from the poor steam
boatman. There is none can say aught
against our Commissioner Horace An
drews, ex- Commissioner Captain Gar
rett, NJ. B. Trezevant, present acting,
or those who have acted in the past
several years.
