A PERPLEXING QUESTION.

A broker presented at the city treasury,
on Wednesday, three twenty dollar Metro
politan Police warrants of the parish of
st. Bernard, and demanded that they be
received in payment of taxes due in the
parish of Orleans. Without positively
refusing to accept the warrants, Mr..
Walton asked time for consideration of
the subject, and the applicant departed.
Yesterday, however, notary appeared
with the same warrants, and made a
formal demand upon the Administrator,
with the alternative offered of protesting
in case of refusal.
Here is certainly rather curious case.
The law, in general terms, requires that
the Administrator of Finance shall receive
Metropolitan Police warrants in payment
of city taxes, and imposes the penalty of re-
moval from Office for refusing to receive
them Mr.. Walton has, of course, uni
formly complied with the law in all cases
where the warrants have been issued for
services rendered and supplies purchased
in the parish of Orleans, but he can not
see his way SO clearly in the case of the
St. Bernard warrants. 1t is difficult TO
see by what rule of equity the people of
the parish of Orleans are required to ac-
cept into their treasury as money the
evidences of debt of another parish. The
city is indebted to the Metropolitan Po-
lice in the amount represented by war
rants properly issued for services in the
city, and debt is Cancelled when such
one is received; but they have no interest
whatever in st. Bernard police warrant.
Yet the law is framed in such manner as
to make it nearly certain that the City
Treasurer will be compelled to receive
such as are offered, as the equitable dis
tinction is omitted in the letter of the
statute.
The matter was yesterday referred to
the City Attorney, but We have not yet
heard what view was taken of the case by
that official.

ONE WAY TO WIN TRADE.

Notwithstanding that they are our
neighbors, we allow the Spanish Ameri-
can States to revolutionize regularly,
without paying the slightest attention to
their connections. At the present time
Guatemala is distracted by revolt
against the government. Honduras and
San Salvador are engaged in conflict
that threatens the extinction of one or the
other. Nicaragua has just suppressed a
disturbance in one part of the State, only
to see it break out in another. Costa Rica
has her little family fight on hand, and
Panama is in the midst of revolution
which awakens the liveliest apprehen-
sions among the foreigners settled on the
isthmus. Even Mexico is torn by civil
war. All of these disturbances are preju-
dicial to our interests, for while they
exist not only is trade destroyed,
but American citizens resident in
these States are disturbed, and in
iured in their business to some
extent New Orleans should have a
lucrative trade with the Spanish Ameri-
can countries to the south and west of
her, but whenever she has developed a
beginning in that direction the business
has been destroyed by some local revolu-
ton. The fact is, the United States has
never maintained that influence in the Gulf
of Mexico which her position and power
entitle her to assume. She has been more
actively progressive in the Chinese seas
than at her own doors, for while our navy
has made itself known and respected in
Asia, it has been the passive spectator of
transactions in the caribbean Sea and in
the Gulf which either argued a curious
policy at Washington or a very great
weakness in it's officers
We have lost ground in Spanish Amer
lea for a number of years. Our trade has
been continually diverted from us since
the time of Walkers movement against
Nicaragua. This originated in the desire
of the Central American States TO have as
little to do with the Americans as possible
since they were in danger of being over
run by us as filibusters if we were ac-
cepted as traders. And our own govern
ment has rather assisted this notion by
its failure to insist on more friendly rela-
tions Our diplomatic and consular
agencies have maintained themselves in
kind of political torpor in Central Amer
ica for the last ten years, neither asking
favors nor extending active sympathy to
the republican elements that surrounded
them. All of Spanish America at present
Is existing in condition of monarchy,
although all the States pretend to be
republics. Powerful family influences,
assisted by money from Europe, have
seized upon and controlled the gov
ernments of Guatemala, San Salvador,
Honduras and Costa Rica, and since
these families obtained most of their sup
port from European capitalists, the conse-
New Orleans Republican., 1871-06-09

quence has been that favors have been ex-
tended to them which were prejudicial to
American interests. The genuine repub-
licans have been suppressed in every in
stance, and our agents have either not un-
derstood the situation, or have been too
negligent to counteract it. The United
States ought to be represented at each one
of the Central American capitals by an
active and sympathetic American, who
would use every occasion to push the for
tunes of his own countrymen. He should
be sustained in counteracting English in
trigue against our equal rights by every
means at the disposal of the Washington
government. If this was done it would
not be long before the trade of Central
America might be safely calculated on as
part Of our yearly profits.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

At this time the people of New Orleans
are generally blessed with good health
There is some sickness, as there always
will be in this world, but there is nothing
to indicate that the public health is not as
good as usual at this season Of the year.
The reports of the Board of Health and
of the hospitals warrant this assertion at
this time. Many people are disposed
to think the present overflow will cause
sickness to prevail in the city. Sickness
has not followed overfows in the past to
prove that the resent one must necessa-
rily be cause of afiiction in that shape.
Epidemics are not apt to spring from
local causes of this kind At least this is
the experience of the past in New Orleans.
The great Sauve crevasse, which occurred
in 1S49, inundated very large portion of
the city for six weeks. 1t took place
about this season of the year, and many
persons predicted it would be source of
much disease among our people. The
SlIy was IAcu luuuOttCu w d u1uOh AdISOl
extent than it is now, and the water re-
mained much longer than it is likely to
remain now, and yet the summer and fall
OF the year in which the Sauve crevasse
took place proved to be remarkably
healthy.
1t IS the belief of many that epidemics
here are more apt to spring from commu-
nication with places that have local
causes for pestilent, contagious or infec-
tious diseases, than from any cause that
would create them in New Orleans. Act
ing upon this theory, the Legislature of
this State passed law, in 1856, author
izing the establishment of quarantine for
the protection of our people. Of course.
the enforcement of such law is bound
to interfere with trade, for it prohibits in
tercourse with places that are declared to
be infected Such laws are good when
used to prevent the spread of infectious
diseases, but bad when used without due
cause and consideration, for they shut up
channels of trade and prevent free inter-
course. This necessarily Injuries the busi-
ness of the city or State that proceeds to
enforce quarantine, as well as the places
that are declared infected; and for that
reason quarantine laws should only be en-
forced against place upon the best evi-
dence going to show that it is really in

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The wholesale conversion of Democrats
to the Republican faith must be regarded
as the work of the Ku-Klux law. That
has done more to convince the ''unterri-
fed of the errors of their way than any
other measure adopted by the Repub-
ican party. Under the salutary infu-
ences of that law the Democrats of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee
have marched boldly up to the Repub-
lican platform and given in their adhe-
sion to its principles. But while pro-
Tossing to do this, it is a little strange to
see how they do it. In the first of a
series Of resolutions adopted by the Ohio
Democratic State Convention, recently
held in Columbus, the party says "that
in denouncing the extraordinary means
by which they were brought about, we
recognize as accomplished facts the three
amendments to the constitution recently
declared adopted, and consider the same
as no longer political issues before the
country" Denouncing the extraordi-
nary means by which they were brought
about" and then recognizing "as
accomplished facts the three amendments
to the constitution" sounds as if
they did it under protest. They die
hard, and without hope of resurrection to
political power. 1t is hoped their con-
version to Republicanism may give them
a prospect thereafter"

1t may not be cheerful news to the
Bulletin, but it is correct news, however,
that while Superintendent Conway is
progressing very rapidly and prosperously
in perfecting the public school system,
10th in New Orleans and throughout the
State, Administrator Cockrem is working
with might and main, and very success
fully, too, in driving out the food which
is now devastating the rear of the city.
Mr.. Cockrem has engaged the services of
the Fire Department in pumping out the
water, and he is forcing the draining
machines to their utmost capacity in the
same praiseworthy effort All the energies
of the city government, under the direc-
ton of the Administrator of Improve
ments, are directed to the assistance of the
rear of the city, and the poor of the
flooded district are indebted to Mr.. Cock
rem for many acts of amelioration and re-
lief which he has taken the responsibility
to direct for their benefit. The Bulletin
would probably prefer to see ignorance
prevail among the children, and suffering
among the poor, provided it could point
to the Republicans as being the authors
thereof

Mr.. Carlisle, who was nominated

This new departure business does not
work well. Even in Ohio it is doubtful
if General McCook, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is not choking to cast out his ac-
oeptance of the situation. The ''nigger"
is hard to go down with the Democracy.
