The Quarantine.

The Houston Union, the organ of Gov.
ernor Davis, says:
The New Orleans people are dreadfully op.
posed to the Texas quarantine, and say they
have no yellow fever worth naming. That g
all stuff. They have had enough to infect
Vicksburg and Natchez, killing quite a
number Of citizens, and it is a wonder it had
not got to Galveston and Houston at the
same time. One of our most fatal epidemics
broke out in October. We have been watch
ing for it to break out in Galveston and
Houston ever since it appeared in Natchez
and Vicksburg. Keep up the quarantine
for the present.
The Galveston Bulletin Of Friday says:
MisintOrmation as to the extent of the
yellow fever in New Orleans might excuse
Governor Davis for the unnecessary meas
ures he has taken for protecting the health
Of Galveston. but after the dispatches
which we published in this mornings issue,
from the Governor of Louisiana and the
Collector Of the port at New Orleans, its
continuance would not only be inexcusa-
ble, but oppressive and tyrannical. Mr..
Casey, in his telegram, goes 80 far as to
say that many of the Oldest and best physi-
clans OF New Orleans deny the existence of
any yellow fever in the city, and Governor
WarmOth states most positively that there
are but five cases, and there has been but
three deaths in ten days. These dispatches,
together with the remOnstrance of the citi-
zens OF Galveston, it is to be hoped, will in
duce the governor to rescind his quarantine
order.
The Galveston Bulletin of Wednesday
says:
Governor Warmoth and Mr.. Casey, both
holding high office, their means of ,nforma-
tion are such that any statement they made
with reference to the health of New Orleans
can not be questioned. They acted in this
matter at the request of the merchants and
citizens OF New Orleans, and for such
action, though Intellectual, they deserve
the thanks, not only of Galveston, but all
that portion Of Texas for which Galveston
is the seaport.

Jewish wedding:
Last evening We. by invitation, witnessed
for the first time the Jewish marriage cere.
mony. Mr.. IsadOre Oscar, of Bremond.
was united to Miss Rebecca Hochwald. of
this city. The ceremony, performed bv the
brides father, is in many respects similar
to that Of the Roman Catholic Church. the
use Of q canopy and the shattering of glass
being the principal difference. In the break
ing Of the glass the groom demonstrates
that as it is in human power to separate
the fragments forever, so is the Divine
power able to unite the creatures of His
own handiwork for all eternity. A goodly
company was in attendance. and after the
ceremony a bounteous collation. spread
Speeches and tOasts innumerable were
given, and if there be virtue in wishes, Mr..
and Mrs. Oscars path though life will be
strewn with thorn1ess flowers.

Notwithstanding the unprecedented fall

tact is attributed to the system of protec-
ton ldvees inaugurated by the present city
administration, and the manner in which
the embanknents have been thrown up.

The Austin journal says:

Track laying was completed to McDade
Station, near Colsons, about thirty-two
miles from this city, Saturday evening last,
and the iron is now being laid down rapidly
this side. Now let the contractors work be
inspected at once by the Central company
and the cars put in motion Immediately to
the terminus. 1t is important to the com
pany, the State and the public that the cars
should run to McDade without days de-
lay. This fooling around is wearisome.
COlson will accommodate the travelling pub
lie with meals and beds, and the stage COM
pany will rush passengers through to Nc
Dade with dispatch and comfort the day
the cars commence running to that point.
Why should not the cars run to the termi-

THE COURTS.

A writ of attachment was issued from tn,
Fifth District Court against Jacob Wiede
man, following the allegation Of Washing
ton Fire Company No. ~, that the defendant
had absconded from the State, having in his
possession the sum of e5969, which he held
in his fiduciary capacity as treasurer. The
prayer for the attachment goes ON to say
that the above sum, for which the defendant
ls held responsible, appears to be in his pos
session by detailed report made by him.
1t is set up that Wiedeman abscOnded with
the intention ot defrauding and swindling
the petitioner mo. 2O). and that, having
property within the bounds of the parish,
the writ of attachment is asked for to seize
it. The defendant is partner in the cloth.
ing business of G. Krallemann.
The Second District Court was occupied
all day in the new phase of the Gaines case,
the argument being resumed yesterday.
The case was continued until next Tues
day. Mrs. Gaines is still q constant attend

Though ordinary suits are fled every day.
yet there is disposition on the part of
counsel to wait until the last day Of vaca-
ton before beginning litigation.
In the case Of Lynne and Fernald against
the city, commonly known as the city tax
suits, where an application for appeal was
made. Judge Cooley, sitting in place Of
Judge Emerson, decided the city could ap-
peal without giving bond, but that j. s.
Walton, the treasurer, could not, being an
interested party in the event of the suit.
The several Slaughterhouse suits before
court, on motion for reargument, were
continued indefinitely. 1t is surmised the
butchers themselves will settle this matter
without the Intervention of a court of JUS
tice.
In filing his suit against the city for two
months pay in the Sixth District Court,
Ex-Recorder Staes took occasion to say in
his petition that the City Council had re-
moved him from his Office without cause,
they have no earthly right to do,
and that he had always performed the du-
ties of the office to the best of his ability
Considerable attention has lately been
devoted to the suit of Bovee under the
intrusion act, inasmuch as the fate of the
Waterworks bill hinged upon the expected
decision of Judge Emerson. This decision
was expected Friday yesterday, but as
it has not vet come the faithful find them
selves in the position Of those from whom
hope deferred, maketh the heart sick
