QUARANTINE,

If the report be true that foreign ships arriving at
this port are not boarded by the Health Officer Till
they reach the Upper Quarantine ground, there is GER
tanly very culpable negligence somewhere. by the
law of 1868 it is provided that the Quarantine ground
shall be in the lower bay, not less than two miles from
the shore in O designated area. From the LIST OF May
to the lst Of November floating hospital Is TO
be anchored not less than two miles from the Quaran-
tine ground and the nearest shore The boarding sta
ton within the period named is to be at this floating
hospital Vessels from certain places named are sub
iect. during the Summer and Autumn months desig-
mated to 30 days detention, and all vessels from
foreign ports are to be visited by the Health
Officer, and detained, if they come from
any place where quarantinsble diseases exist.
or if they have any such dseases-Cholera IS
one of them-on board. The duty OF the Health
Officer, then under the law, is perfectly clear and
that duty is not discharged ii any vessels from foreign
ports are allowed to come to the Upper Quar-
antine. off Staten Island, without previously being
boarded by him or his assistants in the
lower bay. Possibly there may be some
mistake in the report that the law is dsregarded; we
hope there s But we should like to be satisfied that
two vessels did not last night night before anchor
the Upper Quarantine ground to await there visit
from the Health Officer who should have boarded
them miles below.
We do not refer to this subject in any captous
spirit but it is due to this community that no sus
pcion even should exist that any measures are neg
lected TO ward of the Cholera. 1t is not impossible
that we may escape visitation from that pestilenee
altogether, and certainly there are good grounds for
hoping that it may, by vigilance and care, be
very much mitigated if it should come.
But care and vigilance alone can save US from either
one or the other and effort should be spared that
holds out any hope Of that salvation. The Board OF
Health is doing its part in adopting sanitary measures
at homes but these may be useless in preventing the
introduction of the plague if the Quarantine Com
missioners or the Health Officer of the port are remss
in the duties which law and common sense and com.
mon humanity alike prescribe to guard against its
Importation.

The House Of Representatives yesterday com.
menced discussing. tersey and in perfectly good tenn
per, the report of the Joint Committee on Recon-
struction. We trust every one will be allowed fair
hearing. that every proposition Of amendment may be
considered and those which arc just and practical
adopted and that the report, as il shall thus be per-
fected may receive the voto Of every Union member
Of either House. The project as it stands is notor
ously not all we could wish it; if in Congress. we
should endeavor to improve It; but. when we had
done our best in this respect. We should vote for tho
measure as it shall ultimately be shaped by the
majority The simpler its conditions and the nearer
these approach TO Universal Amnesty with Impartial
Suffrage the better shall we be suited

THE IRISH MOVEMENT.

SO profound and practical philosopher as John
Stuart Mill declared, while rcbukng tho costly self
worship which has deprived Ireland far than En-
gland of its share of well.beng and sefgovernmept
that the English and Irish were the most fitted by
nature Of any two races in the world to be the COM
pleting counterpart Of each other" glance at the
relations which have existed for centuries Of liter
ature, philosophy aud art among societies OF clever
Irishmen aud Englishmen would explain this easily
Down from the time when Goldsmith and Burke sat
down to chops and ale with DR.. Sam johnson and Sir
Joshua; when Swift made wit with Bolingbroke;
when English thinkers admired the good and great
Bishop Berkeleys speculations; when, more out Of
the way the Irish dramatsts Sothern, Congreve, and
Farquhar became so English that their countrymen
hardly know Them there has been no great confusion
among English and Irish wits, separation of race,
but rather blending Of lines by which literature has
been the gamer Moore was chum OF Byron when
Sheridan rvalcd Pitt and Fox and 0Neill was queen
of the English stage. English painters considered
themselves well of when they hobnobbed with the
versatile and eccentric artists of the sister isle.
Oddly enough, Castlereagh oppressed his country
men little worse than any Englishman, and that
seest of premiers Wellington, was as patent aborn
lrlsnman az many fcnlans ABOUT oul o"H luic, the
rank of eminent Ishmen is distnctively smaller; but
the Irish scientists of whom DR.. McCosh and the late
Sir William Rowan Hamilton are notable examples,
correspond with their English brehren Irish painters
and scuptors must perforce, take places in the En-
glish Academy, Of which Barry was an ornament,
and Sir Archer Shee presidents the best of Irish novel
lists receives brotherly dedication from Thackeray
Sheridan Knowles does not cease TO be the greatest
stagemaster among the modern English dramatsts;
Wallace, Balfe Macianen, Sullivan IL we except
Sterndale Bennett, make the best English music; and
we suppose Lord Duffern and the young O'Donohue
find plenty of liberal Englishmen to agree with them
that the Irish have been badly treated, and that En-
gland should reform. There il little Irish literature
which is not English. So II would seem, the Irish
and English can never be absolutely divorced. Po-
itica outrage has done much to impair reciprocity Of
culture aud genius, and to define hatred of race.
But race.feuds consume genius, and do not help the
arts and literature whose mission is to reconcile and
educate therefore, it is not to be wondered at that so
many of the cleverest Irshmen have been other than
the heartiest haters of Englshmen. For that matter
personal hate is seldom Of any good to politics ~herN

AMERICAN FRRRDmEr,s CONFUSION.

The May number Of Tss Amssioss Frssdmax bre.
sents statement Of the work Of the society," which
will be found full Of interest to Its patrons and friends
During last year 307 schools and 773 teachers have
been sustained, and over 10000 pupils educated by
the various organizations ia the North not sectaran In
character. The amount Of contributions exceeds
100000, and it is estimated that altogether not less
than S2, OOOOO) have been spent by these societies
for the benefit If the freeamsa ss 1 others, Their
work is still increasing, and in New-Englsnd IA
number of teachers has grown in six months from LOO
to 1e2, and in New-York from l40 to $40. OF tbs
6l3 teachers now in the field 49l represent this Com
mission and It's branches. 1t is evident that the
project of forming the various societies before exist
ing into one has had gratifying success
From the reports and correspondence Of the society
interesting tables have been compiled, showing the
location Of schools by States and towns, and by
what societies lhsy are sustained. Poetca Justice

have but 90 and TO- respectively; and when we con-
slider that these schools open to whites as well "A
blacks, we may appreciate the extent Of the field that
remains to be titled 1t is an article Of the
constitution of this American Freedmen's Commission
that it shall did aud cooperate with the people Of the
South, without distinction Of race or color in the i'm
provement of their condition upon tho basis OF indus
try, education, freedom, aud Christian morality. No
schools or supply depots shall be maintained from the
benefits of which any shall be excluded because OF
color" 1t is not therefore, obnoxious TO the charge
of directing its charities exclusively for the benefit OF
the blacks We do not see why the South, which was
always and of course is now. lamentably deficient in
free schools should not welcome this enterprise with
a. much cordaty for instance. as was extended be-
fore the war to the Southern Aid Society. If tbs
whites do not the blacks will though We do not think
the latter any more in need Of its good offices than The
former.
1t is to be borne in mind that while tho Commission
has been generously supported by the contributions
of the North its work is which calls for constant
outlay, and its treasury needs to be continually 70
plenished. There is. so Far as we know, no way ia
which money can be given to the freedmen more
benefciay TO them than when given to the American
Freedmen's and Union Commission.

COTTON IN 1861.

The prospective Cotton product OF the United
States in 1866 is subject Of National sollctude anu
general discussion. Very wide differences OF esti'
mate are currcnt-Gom 1000, 900 bales up and even
above 10000 Georgia" in The Savannah Repre
Rean, hearing that the Hon. A. H. Stephens had esti'
mated tho Cotton crop Of 1866 at three million bales,
states that sagaoious friend has made bets that
the crop will not exceed 100000 bales. lie says
of Stephenss alleged estimate that it
"s one million Of bales In Of other have seen ana
twothrds of an average crop before the war; when from
North Carolina Rio Grande the labor Of the country
stripped and equipped 60 his owith trained and ex
percnced Observation-Disclosures mule powerarge supplies OF
and other above s 20 the sun
and grass Of june and July"
This writer has evidently great faith in " a pad
die constantly before Sambo's eyes," while we be-
eve Cash il more potent inducement to labor than
Lash And we look to tho Cotton crop OF 1866 10
prove it.
We believe the crop Of 1866 will exceed 100000
bales and that at an average OF % cents per poaa
in gold. it will bring moro moray than any former
crop, with two or three exceptions, ever did. We
base our estimate on various advices and considera
tions including decided increase of energy and pro-
ductive industry among the Poor Whites OF the upland
regions of Alabama and other States. We are quite
aware that this population has suffered terribly by the
war-that it has not only been slain in battle
and persisted in bivouac, march and hospital but has
lost its animals fences &C., so that it has far less
capacity to produce than it had ten years ago. But
the South is devoted to Cotton as it never was be-
fore-it has good many Blacks and some Whites
hard at work in tho cotton feld-and We hope for
crop of 900 bales and shall be disappointed il it
falls below 100000. Such crop. once marketed,
neither Whites and Blacks will want help from abroad
until their region shall again be devastated by war;
