 THO THE PUBLIC.-Hayiag, in csnnexion with Il the proprietors of the other Presses, signed uniform tariff of charges cotton, in order to ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perpexity caused by many different rates, deem il due to ourselves to assign our reasons for so doing.

 The arif differs from the published by us in the early part of the season, in bu two items of m- poriance. to wit: Planters Storage and Drayage fnom wharves to Press. In relation to the first item have adopted the rate universally preferred by the Planters, while ia the country last summer, and with which they expressed themselves entirely satisfied In relation to he second we had only agreed 10 dray from our wharf at cents per bale an inducement to have cotton landed there. Had Planters complied rgidly with their promis- es tous we have with our promises to them, there would have been no necessity for change m this item. As, however, with few exceptions, they have quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in sequence of which we have been compelled pay 12k and Is cents per bale to have it drayed down, and cannot even get It done that we feel justified in consenting to the 10 cents drayase.

 We, however, had another and stronger motive in view. The sp-town wharfngers for some time past have been in lhe habit of paymg all the extra expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to wharves, but landed theii 8, in order get the wharfage of the balance of the cargp, and compel to do all the long drayage.

 We place ourselves in position tp resist this engagement and deprive them of any Inducement to continue it, we consented to put up drayage, know ing that the aggregate charge could be made the same to the planter, by taking off inc wharfage with which the other presses had nobsg do, and in to- day's paper will be found notice this effect By this we keep our faith to the country, and show to the parties up town what they may expect long as they play the grab game, and seek 10 deprive down iewn of its fair share of business. ..I .5. We understand that accused of having gone into combination by thIs arrangement. In regard to the other Presses cannot wer-for curse we have only to say it is not true. And if any one doubts the fact lei him give an order on the other Presses for Cotton, and he will soon ascertain wetl- CT or not there exists combination.

 We have no fear that course will be censured by any intelligent liberal minded merchant or nlanter. GREEN, CASEY & JAMES,
