this Is the class that Congress desires to enrich
to the detriment Of all others. II seems to us
that the people Of the West must very soon
open their eyes to the effect Of the schemes FOR
the negro and the high protective tariff pro-

representatives from that section into. Sooner

PROPOSED LEGISLATION on THE TARIPF.-It is
reported that the Committee OF Ways and Means
have nearly completed now tariff bill and
will report it to Congress as soon as the recon-
struction amendments 10 the constitution are
disposed of. Ii Is understood that many i'm
portant changes will be made and that the i'm
post duties will be largely increased on many
articles, especially on all those classes which
are manufactured in New England. II this
supposition proves true there can be but one
solution Of the action OF the committee, and
that is that New England ideas are controlling
the legislation on this subject the same as on
the question Of the negro. 1t must be very con-
soling to the agricultural interests Of the West
to see their representatives follow the lead Of
the New England fanatics in their efforts to
prevent restoration Of the country and thus in
a measure diminish the trade with the Lower
Mississippi, and then, on the top Of that, en-
dorse the schemes brought forward TO protect
New England manufactures from competition.
1t is bad enough for the Western representa-
tives to oppose the adjustment OF the South
and thus reduce the demand in the Lower Mis-
sissippi for the product Of the Upper But
when they come to add to this disadvantage
an increase Of the tariff which adds to the
profits Of the New England manufacturers and
increases the cost to the Western commerce,
the great mass Of the people in that section
must, we think, become convinced that this is q
little too much OF New England rule.
The idea which appears to be in vogue with
the tariff tinkers is that the duties must be in
creased for the purpose Of protection. This Is
an erroneous policy, and the experience OF the
past has shown that it is fraught with great
evil. The only principle upon which q tariff
can be adjusted Is that Of revenue to the gov
ernment. II should be fixed at those rates
that will secure the largest amount OF
revenue. This cannot be accomplished
by either the low duties of the free
traders or the high tariff Of the
protectionists. The medium policy Is the only
safe one TO pursue. A too low tariff will cut
OF the receipts Of the government very much
needed, while large increase Of the present
rate will encourage smuggling and increase
the price Of goods TO the people without any
additional benefit to the government We be-
leve that mach larOer revenue will be re-

QUARANTINE AND DIFFICULTIES OF THE BOARD
OF HEALm.-The meetings Of the Metropolitan
Board of Health have developed most unfor-
tunate state of things with regard 70 quaran-
tine. The Commissioners are active and doing
all they can to save both this city and the sur
rounding country as well as the lives Of the i'm
migrants from cholera; but so many obstacles
are thrown in their way that they are compelled
to complain Of their efforts being paralyzed.
To save the lives Of those afflicted and to pre-
vent the disease spreading among others and
through the country, II is necessary to have
quarantine station at which the immigrants can
be landed and where they can bc properly
treated, before letting them loose among the
community. There are several places in the
vicinity Of the lower bay adapted for such a
quarantine station and where there would be
no danger TO the few Inhabitants living not
far from those places They may be found on

Island, and probably at other spots. But the
trouble has been that the Health Commission
ers have met with the most determined ro-
sistance everywhere. A few property holders
or few inhabitants living near have put their
own interests or supposed interests against tho
welfare Of the whole community. They have
become unnecessarily alarmed and excited. It
has been shown very clearly that there is no
danger from cholera II the immigrants can be
separated from those affected on board ship
and both them and the patients be properly
cared for, their clothing changed and those
purifying measures be adopted which the
Health Commissioners wish to adopt
The question now Is, what il to be donef
Ships are arriving with the disease on board,
and although there is no immediate danger to
the city, and need be no danger ifproper care be
taken, something must be done at once to
establish suitable quarantine station. HUI
manity to the immigrants and safety to ourselves
demand this. The Health Commissioners must
boldly take whatever place suits them best.
The laws Of the State and of the general gov
ernment will enable them to do this Let them
not delay therefore, but procure the quarantine
station at once, and if an armed force be neces-
sary to sustain their action lot them call upon
the Governor OF the State or the federal au-
thorities for protection. This Is the only way
to settle the difficulty and it is useless as well
as dangerous to delay action expecting to set
tie 1t in any other manner.

Tho Yachting Season-Prospects Of aI
Intern ati0nal Race.

The Yachting SeaSOn-FrOSpcCto OF an
International Race.
The yachting season will be formally in
augured on the 18th inst by the annual ocean
regatta from Owls Head around the eight
ship of Sandy Hook. Entries for this race
will be received until the 18th inst, and a
steamer will be provided, as usual, for the
members of the Yacht Club. On the following
Tuesday, the 10th inst, the second annual re-
view Of the squadron will take place at the
Horse Shoe. A steamer will convey the men,
bers and their fair friends to the anchorage
and will remain in attendance upon the yachts.
The yacht captains will send their boats to the
steamer for the guests, and if the weather be
favorable q couple of hours will be spent in
sailing about. The yachts will then execute
various manGuvres by signal, and the review
will conclude with sumptuous collation.. Thus
it will be seen that the new programme which
proved SO popular last year will again be
adopted. There will be regatta for the
yachtsmen and a review for the ladies. AS
the club is now in the best possible trim and
has been reinforced by nearly dozen new
vessels, we may expect splendid display
upon these occasions and during the squadron
cruise later in the summer.
But however pleasant the regatta, review
and squadron cruise may be, our yachtsmen
are fully prepared and very anxious for more
severe and exciting contests. Several ocean
matches are already talked of and particulars
will be announced so soon as the preliminaries
are arranged. In spite Of the Fenian war,
there is also some prospect Of an international
race English yachtsmen have ut last been in
duced to remember that the America once won
. cup at Cowes and that this trophy is held
by the New York Yacht Club as challenge to
yachts of all nations. Stirred by the rccollec-
ton of these facts the Englishmen are be-
ginning to talk about coming over here and
taking the cup back. They will be heartily
welcome and will find dozen Americans
ready to outstrip them. Indeed, it Is sur
prising that they have not presented themselves
long before this. American yachts are by no
means strange in English waters; but we have
not yet seen one of the racing yachts Of old
England In our bay. II they do not como soon
our cnterprising yachtsmen will grow tired OF
waiting and will go over to England to bring
home another trophy. We understand, how
ever, that John Van Buren, who is now
In Europe, has = semioficial mission in
regard to this matter, and If be be met by
the Enalishmen in spirit that corresponds
with our own, the international match will be
easily arranged. This would give unprece-
dented eclat to the yachting season and entitle
Mr.. Van Buren to the thanks Of all yachtsmen
the world over.
