THE Pilots ASSOCIATION.

Under the present statute the Pilots
Association have the right TO demand
Of all vessels engaged in the coastuise
trade-that is, vessels which ply be-
tween points on the Atlantic cosst-a
license tax for the privilege of trading
in the waters of Virginia. For the tax
thus paid the vessels secure the privi-
legs of trading in our waters without
paying additional fees to the Pilots As
ISOLATION, unless the master OF the vef-
sci should need the services of pilot,
in which event such pilot receives the
same fees a. are paid by foreign vessels,
though the vessels owner had already
paid the Association the license tax
above indicated. 1t is to repeal this
provision Of the law, which allows the
Pilots Association TO issue licenses, and
to provide that coastwise vessels here
after shall only pay fees to pilots when
their services are desired and accepted
thst the bill now before the Legislature
was introduced.
No legitimate argument can be framed
to Justify the action of our Legislature
in surrendering to private corpora
ton the privilege and power of levying
taxes upon the people, not one dollar OF
which finds its Sway into the State
Treasury, and for which the party re-
ceiving renders no service and the
party paying receives no benefit.
Providence has bountifully blessed
our Commonwealth with all the re
sources Of mlne and forest and field re-
luisite to great and diversified pros
perity, and as if to WOO to our shores

The robber barons OF the dark ages,

the only prototypes which history
affords OF this system which Virginia
allows to exist within her borders.
The thousands paid by ship-owners TO
the Pilots Association, and which in turn
are paid in increased freigh. charges by
the producers and consumers OF the
land, constitute but a small part OF the
damage, measured in dollars, done our

have been necessary TO protect the lives
Of passengers years ago, but that time

exempted steamers from the operation
OF this law, and yet Virginia still re-
quires the law to apply to freight carry

The funeral of jefferson Davis and

worthy for the spirit manifested in
them. There is no fear now that any
vindictive political action can be taken
against the South. and there is thus no
reason of prudence why any Southener
should refrain from speaking his whole
mind. Yet though certainly the pro-
cecdiDgs denoted that the Southernsrs
were not in the least ashamed Of the
course that they or their fathers took a
quarter Of a century ago, there has not
been. that we have observed, a single
word uttered of regret that their cause
was lost or that the South was cOerced
