4 Washington dispatch says: The Senate
passed the bill which was passed in the
House of Representatives March {, creating
a local Board of Inspectors, to be located at
GallipOlis, Ohio, for the inspection OF bulls
and boilers of steam vessels. The bill pro-
vidcs that there shall be one inspector Of
bulls and one inspector of boilers one OF
whom shall he transferred from the Office
OF the local Board of Inspectors at Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and one from the local Board OF
Inspectors at Wheeling, w. Va, each of
whom shall receive per annum the same
compensation he may be receiving at the
time of the passage of this bill, and there
after in case of a vacancy in the office OF in
spector of bulls or in the office OF inspector
OF boilers, such vacancy shall be filled in
the manner provided in section AIS OF the
Revised Statutes.
A considerable amount of hard feeling
now exists between some of the Ohio river
pilots, who. up to yesterday, had been on
friendly terms, even If they were not bonn
hdc friends. 1t seems that two pilots, who
used to be in the employ Of of the Evans
vile and Cairo Packet Company and who
for some time have been doing principally
nothing, went to the superintendent OF the
line and offered to take positions on the
boats at SO per month, while the wages
previously paid were $40, making a reduc.
ton OF SIS per month. The superintendent
told those holding the positions what had
been offered and as there was nothing to
do but accept the reduction or give up
their berths, they stood the reduction, thus
giving the contemplate creatures nothing
TO do but brood over their shame and dis
grace, for it is a disgrace TO force a man TO
work for wages less than they would have
to do had these men acted the gentlemen.
