The DEMOCRAT has just added to its officoe a new and complete Steam Job Printing department, with all the latest and most desirable improvements in types, rules, borders, etc. We are now fully prepared to compete with any job printing establishment in the South. We can turn out, at the shortest notice, anything from a newspaper or a book to a lady's visiting card, In the best style of the art. We shall devote special at tention to commercial printing and to the printing of lawyers' briefs. We earnestly solicit the support of our friends in our progressive efforts. The Texas State Fair will commence May 22d, at Houston. The Texas State Fair is one of the most important insti. tutions of the Lone Star State, and one to which it owes, to no small extent, its prosperity and progress. In days past New Orleans was always well repre sented at this fair, and it behooves our merchants and planters to be still better represented this year. New Orleans can no longer claim the control of the Texas trade. It has hundreds of rivals in the field, and just now, when we have our government once more in our hands, and are earnestly working for a railroad to Texas, is the opportu nity for our city, by the display it makes at this fair, to carry off the prize of the Texas trade. St. Louis will be well represented; let New Orlears be better represented there. The new system of Recorder's Courts went into full operation yesterday. The recorders are Mr. E. Miltenberger and Col. S. J. N. Smith. Mr. Miltenberger has been on the bench for some time, under the old system, and has made a just and efficient official, and his ap pointment under the now law gives uni versal satisfaction. The appointment of Col. Smith was also an excellent one. He possesses all the qualifications of a first-class officer -vim, integrity and a thorough knowl edge of the class of people the Recor der's Court have chiefly to deal with.' The professional bond business in past years has grown to be a serious abuse in the administration of the trim inal law. This business Recorders Mil tenberger and Smith will be sure to break up and destroy, and lawbreakers will henceforth be held to a strict ac countability for their misdeeds. The river and harbor appropriation bill, passed at the first session of the Forty-fourth Congress, appropriated, in the aggregate, the sum of $5,015,000. President Grant, being stricken with a sudden freak of economy, issued an un precedented and remarkable executive order limiting the expenditures under this appropriation to $2,000,000. Sub eequently other allotments were made from this fund, and when Mr. Hayes became President there remained an unexpended balance of about $1,124,000. Quite :reoently the Chief of Engineers has rec ,ommended that this balance be applied sat once to the execution of necessary -works upon the rivers and harbors of the eountrv, and in pursuance of this :reoommendation it has beendetermined -to expend allof the appropriation which remains available during the coming .summer. This is proper enough, but -we do not see upon what principle of justice New York, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota are allowed to absorb more than half of the amount, while all of the Southern States together receive less than onequarter of the appropriation. Of these Virginia gets $70,000 and North Carolina $55,000, while to Louisiana is d oled out the miserable pittance of $21,200-$11,)0. for the Ouachita river and $10,000 for the mouth of the Missis sipp$. We hope our Congressmen will take notice of these facts and hereafter i.aste a fair division of the spoils, so clations continue to be jade s of this character. We t.m the example of Mr. Wpt Virginia, who never eidowa Mates to "got left" in such PORIE CHARC1E. A committee or commstdont was ap, pointed by the Legislature to investi gate the subject of the port and wharl charges on steamboats and shippinfl navigating the Mississippi river ani coming into this port, with a view o1 ascertaining what reduction can be effected In these very great burdens or our commerce. It is useless to say that loud and just have been the ccmnplaints against this great obstacle to the exten sion and relief of our commerce. There can be no exaggeration of these comrn plaints. Our port charges, including wharfage and tonnage, are beyond al reason and in excess of those imposec in any other large port in the world ex cept Calcutta. They ought to be lighter in order to attract hither the immense trade which nature has made tributar3 to New Orleans, but which is repellet by our unwise laws and heavy port charges. Freed from these burdens, and with a sufficient depth of water on the bar, there would be little reason to appre hend that our port would not soot justify confidence in its superior claims to the command of the whol trade of the Mississippi Valley over an. other city on the continent. Make Nevi Orleans a free, or as nearly as possibie a free port, and who can doubt that the great grain product of the West, whict can be exported through this port and landed at any foreign point at about half the cost of the freight and charges incurred in Atlantic ports, would then come to our city? This proposition Ii universally conceded. The difficulty ie how to effect these reductions in our port charges. The legislative commis. sion, we learn, will set to work to in vestigate thoroughly and report upon the various suggestions which have been made to effect this object. The. will seek counsel and information fron our commercial and shipping classes from our Board of Trade and from State and city officials, and from all other: conversant with the subject. The questions to be investigated and discussed are: 1. How the high rates of towage can be reduced. 2. Whether the license fees to theState and city exacted from vessels engaged in this business may not be reduced, on condition of a reduction in the rates ol towage. Whether the towage, being e private business, is beyond the reach and control of the State and city au thorlties, so that it cannot be subjected to limitation and reductions as to the rate of its charges. 3. Whether our various port officers harbor masters, port wardens, wharfin. gers, etc., may not be consolidated sc as to assign their various duties to only one of these officials, and thereby great. ly reduce the cost and fees imposed on shipping for their support. 4. Whether the rate of wharfage dues is not greatly in excess of that which, under the decisions of the Su preme Court of the United States, can be lawfully exacted. By these decisions the State and cit3 are prohibited from levying any duties on tonnage, or for wharfage, beyond th expense of keeping up the wharves Are not the letter and spirit of these decisions evaded and violated by the present rates of wharfage and ship and steamboat fees? These are the main questions to be considered and discussed by the com. mission. Upon their satisfactory solu. tion of the same, so as to place our pori on a level in respect to charges on steamboats and shipping with the other great shipping ports of the world, a great deal of the future prosperity and increase of our commerce depends. The commission is a very intelligent and industrious one, and we hope they will at once enter upon their investigation with zeal and an earnest conviction of the great necessity for some relief from the oppressions so justly complained of by all persons interested in the prcgress of our city and the advancement of the great commerce for which she was de signed by Nature, and which is so easily attainable by her under a wise and en lihhtened svstem of local government. SOUI'H CAROLINA AFFAIRS. Gov. Hampton has provoked much very bitterr opposition in the Democratic party by his effort to have Judge Wil lard, a Radical member of the Supreme Court, el,ected Chief Justice by the Gen eral Assembly of South Carolina. What Gov. Hampton's reasons for urging Willard's election are, we do not know. But it would seem that, if there is any necessity for a Democratic Gov ernor or Legislature to bestow office, honors and emoluments upon Radicals, some other office than that of Chief or Associate Justice should be chosen to give them. The purification of our po litical system depends more upon the men whom we make judges than upon any others, and only men whose lives during the past ten years have been a bold, constant and vigorous protest against, or rather warfare upon, Radi calism, should be appointed to the Bench. Gen. M. W. Gary seems to be one of the staunchest opponents of the elec tion of Willard to the high office of Chief Justice of South Carolina, and his letter to the Edgefield Advertiser, which we herewith print, seems to furnish conclusive reasons why that individual should not be elected. The following is C(en. Gary's letter: Messrs. FAitors-lace you have copied in the Adrerfiser the allusion to street ru.ors of my in tenuon of joining the Reoublican party, or words to this effect, contained in the Charleston Netws and Courier. There has been no word or act of mine that cou'd have given the slightest color for the origin of much a a meaicious and slanderonus lie. I nave ref.sed to indoree Hayes' ouuthern policy, which is to form a new parry composed of "old Whigs," "conservative Demo crate." and "liberal Republican," or to ally mysel with them to build up such a party, and thereby destroy the solidity of the vote of the eouth. I have ao rirefrsed to.ute for Assoclate justiee Willard for the highest offioe in the gift of the General Assembly, the office of Chief Justice. I have not forgotten that he first came to South Carolina as the judge advocate on the staff of Major Gen. lfoikles, and that while aoting in that capacity he had the following citi zens of Edgefleld . 8. Griffin, James T. Bacon, Julius Day, James Lanham, W. L. Coleman, M. P. Lowrey, Emaley Lott, James Mitchell, David $trother, Jesoe Gomillion, Philip Cook, Wm. Ben son, P. J. Coleman, M. W. Gary, and others whose names I do not now remember, arrested and thrown into prismn, which imp;isonmeunt caused the death of James Lanhamn, James Go million and Emesley Lott, and great annoyance and expense to all of us. I have not forgotten that as a carpet bagger he allied himself with the le publican party and has remained with it during all of its past disgraceful career, and now, hke a rat, he wishes to lilt a sinking ship, and beoome a headlight in the new party, being a splendid representative of the "Liberal Repuhlicsne" of this State. Nor have I forgotten the charge of bribery and corruption made against him in re g vrd to his decree delivered in the case of Morton, Bliss & Uo. vs. Controller General, 4 h vol. Rich., No. 8, page 430. He is the choice of hoe. Hamp. ton for the high oflice of Chief Justice. I have announced my unalterable determination not to vote for Willard. although lie should become the candidate of a Democratic caucus, which it now seems ia a foregone conclusion. This choice is at the dictation of Gov. Hampton. 'This would be carrying out "strict patty discipline" and "draw ing the lines of party tight" with a vengeance. There are many political sins of commission and omission. If I am not the straight-out I)emo crat I have always been, it is only because I have grown straighter as we are getting control of the government. Youre, respectfully, M. W. GARY. In March last Nelly Parker, aged 85 years, the granddaughter of a servant of the Washington family, and all her life the servant of the family of Col. E. G. W. Butler, died in Iber ville parish. Col. Butler furnished the editor of the Srmlh with some of the incidents in the life of his faithful old servant and friend, and the editor printed them in a brief obituary sketch. Under the heading "De mand and Supply," of which the fact of the venerable woman's connection with the servants of the Washington family was made the text, a facetious article was printed in the DEbMOCaAT. Our young friend of the South, to our surprise, was quite indignant at our, ar ticle, regarding it as a reflection upon the veracity of his statement. Col. Butler, we subsequently learned, also regarded the article in that light and seemed to be quite mortified by it. All this we sincerely regret, for we had no purpose of questioning the truth of the notice of Nelly Parker. The article was simply one of those light effusions which editors relax and amuse themselves sometimes by throw ing off in idle moments. No one who knows Col. Butler's high character sustained through a long life, would question his veracity. We only regret that we should have wounded his feel ings by making a fact mentioned in connection with the death of a servant to whom he and his family seem to have been deeply attached the text of a facetious article, for no one appreciates more than we, that sincere and even tender attachment which has so often grown up between our old citizens and their old and trusted slaves. Several of the country papers are pub lishing an article entitled "Reduction in State and City Expenses," showing the amount our people have already gained from our change of government, and crediting this article to the Pica. yune. It is the I'icayune's article in one respect-that it was taken bodily from the DEMOCRAT without credit of any kind. If any of these papers will turn to the DEMOCRAT of several days previous to that in which this summary appeared in the I'icatyune, they will see the article as it originally appeared, and may then, perhaps, credit it to its true source-the DEMOCRAT.
