POLICEMEN ON The WHARVEs.
No Evidence of Any Disturbance ana
They Were Withdrawn.

No Evidence of Any Disturbance ana
They Were Withdrawn.
A special detail of policemen did duty
yesterday morning on the wharves. 1t
was thought that to put extra men along
the river front might be a wise precau-
ton in view of the fact that some of
the longshOremen have professed an in
tention of not working this season at the
rate by which they have been paid for
the last three years The authorities
thought it possible that the presence Of
an extra force of officers on the wharves
might prevent any disorder. There was
no evidence at all of any disturbance
however, so the extra force was with
drawn after having been on duty for sew
eral hours. 1t is hardly probable that any
disorder will arise until the loading of the
cotton is begun, and even then il is doubt
ful that the discontinued longshoremen
viii attempt any violence. They profess
that their intentions are entirely peaceful
and that tltey merely wish to get the ad-
vance in wages that they are seeking

will begin soon. The stevedores do not
anticipate any tro,lt lie in finding the labor
necessary to do th,t work. They say that
there are number of men idle along the
wharves who can DC secured to load the
vessels.

began that of the citizen. The joy or
battle, the glory of triumphant arms, the
ardor of patriotic eXultatiOn had all van-
ished as II in ashes scattered in the
winds. But the man, who had been the
soldier was the same that had become
the citizen, and met this untoward evO-
luton beyond the meridian of his life
with the same patience that never wear
led. in the march, with the
same irmness that had contem-
ned privaron. with the same fortitude
that mad accepted defeat. That now the
great chief Of the federal armies and
President Of the United states was gen.
erous to this tried comrade of his youth,
was magnimty paying tribute to viz
tues most noble In adversely.
We came TO lay this honorable record on
the grave of the soldier who lies in the
sacred soil of his native state, and within
the bounds of the adopted city he strove
20 defend Thick around him sleep brave
men who followed him 10 the death, and
We who survive. come 20 speak for them
who must be mute. and for ourselves. the
veneration and affection due to the memo
~ Of this distinguished commander. No
more shall the people see the sturdy form
and martial tread, nor wonder at the
strong countenance of this man Of war.
But howiug veterans shall murmur Soon
will we follow him to the dark encamp-
mentS in the valley OF the shadow OF
death" We know that his best eulOgy is
his life; bur on its unwritten page we
would inscribe our testimonial, ere we too
fall, that faithful TO his native state, he
gave himself and his all to her cause.
Skilled in all the practices of military art,
he coup.ed daring with judgment, never
faltering in the march, nor hating ia the
charge, nor yet failing in careful precau-
ton 70 battle and defeat the enemy. If
his soldiers suffered he shared their tri-
ais, as he led them in their dangers-if vic
torious forgetful of himself, he crowned
with the honors. His unalterable stead
fastness forbade anxiety and encouraged
such confidence that men trusted In him
rather than in themselves. Fear never
blanched his countenance, dishonor never
weakened his strong heart, and it was
easy to believe him a good and great man.
Therefore, resolved, That, uniting in sor-
row on the decease of our Venerated hon
orary president,a copy of these proceedings
be transmitted TO his family, with the as
surance of our sympathy in this irrepara-
bic bereavement; that they be entered
upon the minute book of the association,
and be published in the gazettes Of this
city. Respectfully submitted,

had been expected, and our market opened
to 10 points lower in sympathy with it.
After the opening, free Liverpool selling,
liberal long liquidation and heavy sales
against purchases in the south more than
supplied the demand and prices declined
further. Receipts, both yesterday and to-
day, were heavy. January opened at 5.S4c,
advanced to 5.S6c, declined to 5.79c, rallied

among the operators here is that prices
