Quarantine-Not to Mariners.

We learn that the military quarantine station at this
port has been discontinued Mariners will bear
in mind that the city local laws effected by this
ORDER and that certificate from Dr. r. s. Primrose Port
Surgeon is still necessary to enter tn harbor Masters
of vessels entering the port without such certificate incur
heavy penalty.-Ne,cbe7n Commercial
Why is it that at the same time that the military
quarantine has been discontinued at the neighbor-
ing port of Newbern, that by order of the Mill
tary authority, the cicu quarantine has been dis
continued here? Can it be possible that General
Sickles is furnishing us because our people were
justly indignant at his arbitrary exercise of author
ity in suspending quarantine regulations ?
Such total disregard of the wishes and welfare of
the people; such puerile trifng in matters of se-
rious moment such evident want of purpose
such prostitution of official position to personal
ends is very properly bringing the agents of the
Government into disrepute. It is not every officer
of the United States Army who, either in his civil
or military capacity, has now such enviable rep
utation, that he can afford to entirely disregard
public opinion aud the current history of the
times,

much as by his proclamation he gave laws to the
State, with which the authority claimed is utterly
inconsistent From thenceforth the so-called Con-
vention became an assemblage of private individ-
uals, unknown to the law, and their wishes and
views entitled to no more consideration and re-
spect than those of like number OF other private
individuals of equal honesty and equal 1ntel1-
gence. In this view Of the case, all legislation
since the Proclamation is of no avail and probably
all previous thereto which was not, either express
" or by necessary implication, approved. In no
view of the case, have we as yet found ourselves
able to point out the authority for the power
claimed and exercised by the late so-called Con
vention. Our space forbids further remarks to-
day.

The above is extracted from an article in the

is concerned there is an evident mistake. We
published as a matter of news some days since,

that General VIM. r. Cox was spoken of by the
Progress candidate for Governor, and treated
