QUARANTINE. - The following is the concluding
paragraph of article in relation to the quarantine
below New Orleans, whish appeared in the Vicks-
burg Wing, of the 10th ult.
We acknowledge that we have no faith in quaran-
tine against yellow fever, but as many good people
believe in its efficacy the importance of the subject
demands that it should be thoroughly tested. If o
rigid system Of quarantine will keep yellow fever out
of New Orleans great good will certainly have been
accomplished--a good for which we can scarcely be
sufficiently grateful. We are therefore anxious that
the quarantine at New Orleans shall be continued and
risidly enforced. A few years will demonstrate its
efficacy, or by proving it humbug will dispell all
doubt on the subject and put the question to rest 1t
is due to the large number of persons who regously
believe in the efficacy of quarantine that the expert
ment should have fair trial. and with this view we
hope the Legislature of Louisiana will take such
measures as will ensure thorough and rigid quaraI-
tine next summer.
Our quarantine law will not be repealed this ses
sion. OF this our Mississippi friends may rest assured
The law will probably be improved and rendered more
efficient and then continue in force at least for one
/ year longer.

We pleased to state that the recent severe freeze
has not done the crop any material injury. Should
the weather henceforth continue mild, planters
will make fine crops the coming season, as the pros
pect now is good.
Opelousas Raiigoad-The extension of this road
from the Bayou Bauf to Berwicks Bay progressing
slowly. The bridge over the Bout is nearly compile
ted which work comprises the most difficult portion
of the road 1t is proposed, after the completion of
the road to the Bay, that application be made for a
daily mail from New Orleans to Franklin. We are
sure that such arrangement would meet the appro-

The fact is we published the chapter for the benefit

[Richmond Journal, 23d ult.
We are glad our Madison parish contemporary agrees
with us in opinion. Laws that cannot be en-
forced no matter what the cause should be expunged
from the statute book. The habit of violating par
ticuar law laws without punishment following the
violation leads to disregard Of and insubordination
to, all laws. bad or good-the lamentable fruits Of
which the whole State, not the single parish of Or
leans, are now experiencing.
We have no patience with the morbid moral SEN
timent that contents itself with advocating mprac
ticable laws, opposing the repeal, and does nothing
else. We believe in practcabites in legislation as
we'll as in the pursuit of the ordinary business of life.
We believe majority of our people purchase lottery
tickets knowing that thereby they are violating the
law; ; and the law is incompetent to its own vndica-
ton. Dazzling is just common as it was when
the constitution adopted and the laws passed de-
nouncing the severest penalties against the custom
yet a jury cannot be empannelled that will convict
man engaged in fairly fought duel, even if he has
slain his antagonist. Betting elections is lament
ably common, wellngh universal and the law is very
severe against the habit; yet we never hear of con
victions and punishments following nfraction of th
statute.
For reasons ike these we advocate repeal of al
such enactments. They are productive only of evil
and will continue to be productive of evil until rad
ical change takes place in the moral sentiment Of the
people Of the commonwealth.

The New Orleans Crescent has an able article on
the Futility of Laws against Popular Sentiment"
which is entitled to the serious consideration of our
legislators 1t cites the provisions OF the constitution
against duelling and the vending Of lottery tickets
striking Illustrations of its premises and argues that
all such laws should be stricken from the statute
book With the premises and the conclusions Of the
Crescent we fully concur, and have but little doubt
that public sentiment has been gradually but silently
coming the conclusions of the Crescent especially
in regard to the anti-duelling clause. Even those
who by habit and education most averse to duel.
ling have not failed to the utter futlity of the
provisions against it, while its dsqualications too
often operate only against those who would otherwise
prove our most trusted and honored citizens. The
man who has been convicted of the highest offence
known to onr laws may be restored to all his rights
of citizenship; but by constitutional provision the
citizen who engages in duel, no matter what the
circumstances Of extenuation may be- is forever de-
barred from the right Of suffrage or of holding office
Neither justice public sentiment longer tolerates
so stringent provision.
