NnRFOI,K-poR1 SMoUTH-QUARAN-
TINE


We are happy to see our city press unsr.
i'm ouslv endsayoring to bring about healthy
r,,hl;c sentiment In relation to the SUBJECTS
H.. head this arti Gle. When men take
aarn.sl from has.y impulses they are apt to
oommit error, and IL is magnanimous, noble
"a oommendable to correct such error,
hv cbaste reason ancl second thought. Our
s;.,er cities are stricken with pestiience, ana
demand help at our t,ands. They need char
;.y-that charity which is brotheriy love
and we give them stone-in relentless
I'D nseless quarantine. Is not the system
attempted, of combining the Inhabitants Of
these suffering cities to pest house, a re
nroach to humanity and the intelligence OF
the age7 It is useless, because it is impos-
s;ble. so to execute your quarantine law as
TO keep away,all the inhabitants OF these
towns and idle and unnecessary, because no
sucb fever is com municable to US in a
healthy region 1t is, ther efore, iDhicting
cruel and unchristian execution on many of
our fellow beings, by keeping them confined
there, who would be safe if we not only per-
ri,ted, but, as is our duty, aided them to
come away and live. History is philosophy
teaching by example; and if any profess
sional fact is cl early established by medical
history, it is'that yellow fever is not carried
by the sick into healthy region. 1t is
| never communicated to physicians, nurses or
other attendants, frosa the bodies of the sick,
in airy, well ventilated and clean hospitals out
of the infected districts.s 1Thelwayt to stop the
pestiIence is to remove all from the poisoned
district, as rapidly ,as possible, to a dry and
healthy one. There .need3 ben ae:.f fear from
their coming here, as. Richmond, from its to-
| poprahy, is, and Away will be. secure from
any such fever. Yellow fever is the cpl
demie fever of low, alluvial countries, Dor
dering on the sea, the altitude of which rs
but little above the water. 1t never has,
and it never will prevail in any place, the
Typographical which .is. like ours, the altitude
equal, and the face of the country gravelly,
rolling, billy and dry. We need4have no
fear from an unrestricted intercourse with
these towns and the most that it is wise
and philanthropic to do, is for health Off
Ger to visit vessels and conveyances from
these infected cities, to report on the same
and to have the sick, if any, removed to
suitable hospitals and cared for. Those who
are well surely should not be.prevented from
removal, so that they may preserve health
and life Let US therefore remove our non
intercourse, and give Norfolk and Ports
mouth true and substantial charity, as is
commanded by st. Paul-love the brethren.
Since the above was written, we are glad
to learn that the City Council of Richmond
have repealed portion of the quarantine
ordinance, 50 as to permit the Richmond and
Norfolk boats to resume their runs.

RICHARD P. ROBINSON.

The New York Express has long account
of Richard P. Robinson, THE murderer of
Helen Jewett) who, under the name of Rich.
ard Parmelly, died lately at the Gait House.
Louisville; 1t is about twenty years ago.
since Robinson, then youth Of about nine.
teen. murdered poor courtezan, and set fire
TO the house in which she lodged to conceal
his crime. The impression Produced mon
the public mind of New York was so pro
found that even to this day the events rev;v.
ed by the Express viii be read by every New
Yorker with great interest. Robinson was
respectfully connected, and had up to that time
borne an excellent character. The testimony
of his guilt was overwhelming INT soma
pretty strong swearing on the part of the de
renee, which was no doubt literally paid for,
and the seductive eloquence of Ogden Hoff.
m, man the prisoners eounsel,secured his acquit-
TAI. Robinson afterwards moved to Texas
under an assumed name, and. as VIC baM
heard, became good citizen. -"

In the Southern States, on account of its lite.
