CHANCE LEFT.
KENTUCKY CONGRESSMEN
WILL MAKE ANOTHER FIGHT
FOR WEST POINT.

Washington, March l7.-The repor,
of the Military Affairs Committee in
reference to the army posts will go be.
fore the House in few days. Rep.
resentatiyes Smith and Sherley con.
ferred and have about determined that
the proper course to pursue now is to
move to amend the bill leaving the
selection of the posts to the Secretary
Of War. This will eliminate the par
agraph which locates the four posts.
Both Congressman believe there may
be good chance to get the amend
ment through as numerous other
States shared the same fate as Ken
lucky and these Representatives may
join in this sort of fight with the
Kentuckisns.
All realize that if the present bill
passes there will be no chance what.
ever for any of the sites excluded by
the committee. On the other hand
if the bill is so amended as to leave
the selection to the Secretary of War,
some of the other sites will have a
chance.

SEEMS A
SUCCESS
White ROusters on the Steam
boats Doing Well Thus Far.
Many Steamboat Men, However, Do
Not Think They Can Stand
Work.
SUBSTITUTION Is SPREADING

The Memphis papers are authority
for the statement that the experiment
with white rousters on the steamboat.
is success. \ great many Of tn,
steamboat men, however, do not seen
TO consider the chances of ultimate
success very bright.
They clsim that white men canno,
do the heavy work required OF deck
hands, especially in hot weather anc
do not have to do 1t, and will not stitch
to it long. The present attempt &c
call the negro rouster to time, how
ever, seems TO be the most successful
thus far attempted.
Usually the colored deckhand doesn I
care whether he works or not, so IL
causes him little Inconvenience to be
out of Job White men do not want
to do the kind of work expected OF
rousters, and many of them cannot do
it.
A great many steamboat men have
always coutended that IL the mates on
the boats would treat the negroes bet
ter they would be more contented with
their work and not strike so often.
Says the Memphis Commercial APP
peal;
1.-THE arrival Of the Stacker Lee
from ST. Louis was the occasio for a
number Of people going down to the
wharf to see what the negroes would
do when the white men began unload
ing the boat. There was no event to
mark any difference between the ordi.
nary day with all negro laborers, ex-
oept that there was smaller number
of them at work than when there were
no white men employed.
The employment OF white men is
not sn experiment, but stern deter.
ANIMATION en- the part of tho owpsrs
and masters to refuse longer TO be
prey to the whims Of the negro roust-
ers, who have dominated the river for
years and demanded and received al
most whatever they wanted. The EN-
ployment of white men has proven an
unqualified success on tho packets in
and out of this port and st. Louis ms
well, and there is every prospect that
white rousters and labor will be en-
ployed from St. Louis and to New Or.
leans, or at least as far south as
Vicksburg.
THE men employed on the packets
which have thus far taken over white
men are of . class who are accustomed
to hard work, and they do not hest
tate when pushed. as they sometimes
must be, to get the freight on and off
the boats. Those who were at the
wharf yesterday on tho Stacker Lee
were willing, and while an interpreter
was used in moot cases, the work was
accomplished in as short n time a.
with negroes, who could be directed
personally by the mates and others
experimenting the work"

Whether the city or the candidates
