How the interests of “humanity and commerce” were to be promoted by committing the commerce of this port to twenty in- dividuals, however skilful, the Board those interests were much at heart, when it 1s known that our commerce was abruptly deprived of the services of eighty-three skillul men, and a mo- nopoly given to twenty of another State, to be aided by the slow manufacture of others, from the refuse material at the command of the Board. Who will say the interests of ‘ humanity and commerce” were at all regarded, when eighty-three pilots, hold- ing licenses from ihe State, are @ moment with- ae the pilot service, ang no substitute sup- ied Tt is now propozed ‘to consider the details and pe- culiarities of the pero eee rules and re- gulations of the rd ot Pilot Commissioners, | regard to practical results. Having no authority to establish a new Licseeng ay » there have been few purious compact. 7th article is as follows: * “the rates of compensa- tion to be such as were allowed under the act of the State of New York, recently repealed.” That article is well enough, and bears the impress of justive ; but unfortunately for ship owners over whom the commissioners usurp jurisdiction,. the rules and regulations are not in harmony with the sacred constitution. The 13th regulation presents the tariff of fees on inward bound vessels, taken almost verbatim from the 30th section of the State act of April, 1837, on the same subject. It, however, further provides, that “ outward” pilotege is to be the same as ‘‘inward.” In effect, the pilot who sation equal to the highest paid in mavigating the same vessel from sea. To understand the violation of the constitution by the rules and regulations adopted in virtne of it, it is necessary to quote a few from the ta- riff established by the 13th regulation, viz: every vessel drawing jess than | fourteen feet water, $2 per foot. For cere ‘vessel drawing fourteen feet lees than {eighteen feet, $2 50 per foot. 4 ‘vessel drawing eighteen teet aod | upwards, $3 per foot.” The preceding quotations from the tl teenth regulation, are literally the same as the thire tieth section of the act of April, 1837, and exclusive- ly relate to inward bound vessels; but the thirteenth vides tat and herein 1s the conflict, further pro- jes that “‘outward pilotege shall be the same as inward,” whilst the compensation" fixed and deter- mined ‘by the 5th section of the act of 12:h April. | 1888, for outward, is far lese than for inward boun vessels. ‘The 5th section is ae follows: “ For every vessel drawing less than fourteen feet, $1 50 per foot; for every vessel drawing fourteen feet and less than eighteen feet, $1 75 per foot; for every aoe drawing eighteen feet and upwards, $225 per foot. Itis here proper to remark that the New York State pilots have also articles ot association, the 2nd provision of which is as follows:—“ We shall continue to charge: the same rates of pilotage on ves- sels. as were established by the laws of 1837 and 1838, on the subject of pilotage, and shall continue tocruise the same distance at sea as heretolore, whilst the laws of 1837 and 1888 were in {ull torce.” Thus pha oe ring only the compensation on outward vessels, fixed and determine the act of 1838, whilst the merchant pilots receive for outward vessels the x compensation, pro- vided by the 30th section, for piloting vessels in- ward bound. The practical result is thus illustrated—the mer- chant pilot receives for taking a vessel to sea, draw- ing thirteen feet water, $2 per foot, or $26 for the service. The New York pilot, for — the same veasel to sea, moeites bo $1,50 90 per foot, or $19,50 tor the service. eflect, th w York pilot re- ceives $6,50 less 5 the merchant pilot for the same service. ; Again, the merchant pilot receives for taking seventeen feet water, $2,50 jor the service. The New ork pilot, for taking the same vessel to eea, re- seives but $1 75 per foot, or $29,75 for the estes 4 e in effect the New York pilot receives $12,75 than the merchant pilot for the same service. j Pais the merchant pilot receives for taking'a vessel to eea, drawing twenty-feet water, $3 per foot, or nA og for, the service. New York pilot, for tak: the same vessel to gt receives but $2 25 per foot or $45 for the service’; in effect, the New York pilot receives $15 less than the merchant pilot for the same service. These statements establish two facts, first: The ship owner who. employsa merchant pilut on the outward voyage, is exposed to much figher charges than if a New York lot were employed. Second. The 7th article fof the constitution, a claring “the rates,of compensation to be suc! were allowed under the act of the State of ‘New York recently repealed,” is violated by the 13th regulation, which gives ‘the same compensation for outward ag for inward bound vessels inasmuch as “the act of New York, recently repealed,” provides much less compensation for piloting “a veesel to ot erator ple did the S slat mn what princr tate Legislature ‘suard the higher compensation for the inward pi- lotage, but on account of the greater trouble and risk attendant on poe Api understanding the one to be far more diffi thanthe other? It may be asked why the Coxetitution declared that the com- pensation under the new system should be the same as that allowed by the law recently repealed? The answer 1s obvious—to: It ous and palatable ee | to ship owners. iat may be asked, why the regulation viol the constitmion, and allowed fred by the compensation for outward pilotsge ge than thet ed by the law recently repealed because it was well known that the merchant pilots would notbe much employed in the difficult navi- veers inward, whilst it was contemplated that they monopolise all that outward; and these purposes have been inexorably ‘pursued in the spirit of proscription avowed by the 6th article of the constitution, which recommends that “no vessel receive a Pilot xen on his producing a vig iromety Hy roa by the Board of Commissioners of Pi jose issued under the authority of the State eas New Jersey.’ The pro- scriptive recommendation cannot be enforced in re- gard to inward vessels, as the skill of the New York State pilots may not be dispensed with for = navigation—their services are anxio song Oe approaching the shoals and quick-san ly Hook ; but with disdain ejected wheo | alfely ing to take vessels to sea, whic! fam pong promt is daily pursued toward: brought into port.

The reason why the Lord concluded to endow his saints in this singular manner, was because some husbands were willing to to ths Oregon, and their wives objected, and vice versa; 60 they being mis- matched, the Lord concluded to prevent difficulty by giving ‘all willing ones a chance to select new partners ir the expedition. Tue Late Mcrver 1s Navvoo.—We last week pub- lished the fact that a woman was murdered in Nauvoo, on the Sunday previous; but were unable to give the particulars. Since then we have heard various ments. Some of the Saints affirm there was no murd others that the woman was stabbed, but not killed; but the weight of evidence is in favor of the killing, ond the | contradictory statements only go to show that there an effort being made by some of the saints to shroud tl matter in mystery. A Mormon gave to a friend of ou last, the following ion, which plac fair than we have her tol dé woman a widow, livin, + Golden's Point, by the name of Walker. She had in hi sag cra about one thousand dollars, to secure which e murder was committed. The murderer in order to effect his purpose, prevailed onthe women to accompany him to the city and take the mon rae on the plea that it would not be safe to leave it at home in her ab- sence. When on the road, he killed her and also her lit- tle child, took the money and then fied into the city. Here he stopped at an acquaintanc d horse, which was a slow one, for then fled across the river, pursued by foremost of these broke through the ice, and to a1 the others were obliged to stop, which detained tren 0 long that the murderer escaped. Another suspicious feature of this matter is that some saints accuse Amos Davis, (who has lately beco unpopular in Nauvoo, because he wouid not tamely rage from 0. P. Rockwell ) of the murder, dently done for the purpose of running Davis out city, he being in the way of the Mormon pet, Rockwell. | Fact and Fancy.
