Quarantine Regulations-C o6fns -Retuges.
SUFFOLK, Va, Sept. 9.
The citizens here held meeting yester
day evening to consider the resignation of
Messrs. Jenkins and Pedan, two Of the to wn
| trustees, who had resigned because the PEG.
pie showed no disposition to sustain them in
enforcing the quarantine laws against Nor
folk and Portsmouth, and left them to bear
the anger of those whom the laws offended,
while in truth the good people of Suffolk
| themselves should have shared it with them.
The meeting passed resolutions fully en-
dorsing the action of the trustees, whereupon
the designations Of those gentlemen were
withdrawn. The quarantine here, it seems,
is actually necessary, as were it Withdrawn,
| the town would be filled with negroes from
Portsmouth, whose owners are DESTROYS to
get them out of the infected district This
class of population above all others are apt
to bring disease into a town by their filthy
mode of living.
Several loads of collins are sent from here
daily by the trains for Portsmouth They
are made for Elk Mayor Stokes, who has or
dered them. They are nearly all raised top
collins which are very popular in Ports
mouth just now; every man wanting his re-
latlve to 60 to the grave in raised top.
The hotels and many private houses here
are filled with refugees from Norfolk and
Portsmouth, who look with painful anxiety
each day for the arrival of the train which
may bring them intelligence of the recovery
or death of some relative or dear friend.
Seven nurses-four colored and three
white-from Charleston, S. G, passed
through here yesterday en- route for Ports
mouth.
