RspudIation of Uncle Sam.

The World starts the question
whether the United States can repudi-
ate its own Indebtedness. Whether
it can or not theoretically, it seems
it has done so practically. A letter
addressed to lady. in Buffalo, pre-
paid with an oante-bellum three cent
postage stamp, was held at the New
York City post Office for postage.
Having been forwarded to the dead
letter office, it was sent thence to a
person who had some claim on it
with the following repndiating note |:
. DEAR SIR. The Post office Depart
ment at Washington has repudiated
all postage stamps issued before the
war.
iG lgnc Very truly yours.
20 There could hardly be clearer
case of Reputation, whatever the law
may be on the subject. The Post
Office Department received three
cents forsfhe stamp placed on the let
ter, and refused to allow it to be valid.
This is repudiation, and might as well
be for three million dollars as for
three cents. The principle is the
same in both cases, Et-i 'Ei'h

We learn from DR.. White, President Of
the Board OF Health, that the sanitary in
spectOrs of the several districts Will still
continue to vaccinate at their different
offices every Saturday, from twelve to two
o'clock The board is officially informed
that small pox has already made its appear
ance in two places on Bayou Teche. 1t is
feared that the large numbers of colored
people who are expected to visit the city,
according to custom, about Christmas time.
will bring infection in their persons or
clothing. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
We may be spared a repetition Of the Attic
ton from smallpox experienced last year.
To this end, parents should see that their
children are properly vaceinated. Those
who can afford it may prefer to call in their
own physicians, but the city physicians
have been supplied with pure virus, which
can be depended upon for efficacy. 1t is
only one remove from the COW, and the
Board of Health guarantees its purity. We
learn the inspectors are about to carry out
the ordinance of the board in respect to
vaccination in the public schools, which will
at least have the effect to prevent the intro
duction Of smallpox among the pupils.
