FENO THE PUBLlC.-HaviUg, In cJinexIon with l the proprietors of the other Presses, signed uniform tariff of charges on cotton, in order 10 com ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perplexity caused by many different rates, deem Il due to ourselves to assign reasons for so doing.

 The ariff differs from the one published by us in the early part of the season, but two items of Im poriance, to wit: Planers' Storage and Drayage from our wharves to Press In relation to the first

 item we have adopted the rate universally preferred by the Planters, while we were in the country last summer, and with which they expressed themselves s entirely satisfied. In relation to the second we had only agreed to dray from wharf at cents per bale an inducement 10 have cotton landed there. Had Planters complied as rigidly with their promis- to us have with our promises to them, there would have been necessity for a change m this item. As, however, with few exceptions, they have quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in con- sequence of which we have been compelled 10 pay l2t and Is cents per bale to have it drayed down, and get It done at that, we feel justified | in consening 10 the 10 cents drayage.

 | We, however, had another and stronger motive | in view. The sp-town wharfngers for some time past have been in the habit Of paying all the extra expenses incurred by boats on cotton ordered to our wharves, hut landed on heil's, in order to get the wharfage of the balance of the cargo, and compel | to do all the long drayage.

 | We place ourselves in position to resist this ar 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 the wharfage, with which the other presses had nothing to do, and in to. day's paper will be found notice to this effect By this we keep our faith to the country, and show to the parties up. town what they may expect long they play tho grab game, and seek to deprive down town of its fair share of business.

 l We understand that we are accused of having gone

 into combination by ,his arrangement. In regard

 to the other Presses cannot answer-ior curse Ives we have only 10 say it is not true. And lf any one doubts the fact, let him give us order the other Presses for Cotton, and he ilsoon ascertain wheth CT or not thele exists combinations

 We have no tear that our course will be censuret by any intelligent or liberal minded merchant ol | planter. GREEN, CASEY JAMES, | ian25 Independent Press.
