HARMONY OF HEALTH AND COMMERCE.

dAhMUNx VI HEALTH AND COMMERCE.
The Board of Health placed under
Quarantine in June last, all the chief ports
the Gulf Of Mexico. the Spanish Main,
and the islands within these two seas
also certain ports on the Eastern coast
OF South america. It last night ordered
that the Governor be requested to an.
nounce the quarantine raised, as to three
principal ports, those of Pernambuco.
klo Janelro and Buenos Ayres. The first
OF these ports is 1000 miles the second
5l4O; the third about $500 miles from
New Orleans. Taking the time to the
principal point, Rio Janeiro, it may be
placed at twenty days for sail and seven
teen by steam. The duration of these
voyages, though by no means an entire
protection against the possibility of
the continuous contagion of passengers
from port to port, yet raises reasonable
probability that the original infection
will have been exhausted before their ar
rival here. There is, we may add, no
evidence that yellow fever exists in epi-
demic form in either of the three ports
named The Board of Health has there
fore done well to raise the quarantine as
to these ports. 1t will be we'll, as fast as
similar facts appear with regard to other
interdicted ports, to adopt the same policy.
We yield to none id zeal for the preserya-
lion Of the public health by both prevent
I've and curative means. There can be
neither common sense or piety in making
white the outside Of the sepulchre when |
within is rottenness and dead mems i

h2Thel asxtiYction" policy,'as We explain
ed, win not work fast enough for I'D i'm
pecunious Office hunters. The total ami
hilation of q people who have increased
five hundred thousand during the. decade
OF war and misconstruction of their posi-
ton as producers and their rights as men,
can not be acted on. Seeing, perhaps,
our explanation that increase did not por-
tend extinction, more summary removal
of the colored race is demanded by the
impatients So it comes in this form:
But it the policy of ruling the Southern
States by black parties is persisted in, the
| inevitable result for the black race 10 not
| doubtful.
That is, we infer that war of races is
imminent, and the inevitable result" of
this would be extinction" We do not
know what '''ruling the State by black
parties can mean In Virginia the color
line has been drawn by one party, but if
the other party succeeds by commanding
the solid vote Of the eolored people, thus
rejected, We can not see why all the col
ored people should be ''extinguished" tor
that reason. The1colored people willbut
exercise right given and guaranteed to
them by others. In the name Of heaven,
is 1t crime for man to exercise right
that has been given him Should he be
slain for il? In Louisiana the case
is the same. There is majority
OF colored voters. If they are bounded
and herded together, is there any
law Of nature under which they perfect
themselves for exercising their rights?
We do not now argue the enormity of re-
joicing a: the loss which immortality or
want may entail on these people, nor upon
the rage which would annihilate the pres
ent productive force of Louisiana, depre-
ciate the lands and depopulate her cities.
A comment is offered upon the partisan
rage which would extinguish a whole
people for the crime Of giving a vote. !
It is, perhaps, but threat: .'..',a-> !
Vote if you choose, but if you do vote }
and carry an election your doom is sealed. !

TEHUANTEPEC,

/ Five years is an American century,
Tehuantepec, three centuries, or fifteen
years ago, was an interoceanic and inter.
state passway. It would have saved the
Argonauts of California some two thou
sand miles and ten days transit. Itwould
have made twelve days mail time be.
tween New York and California. The
REPUBLICAN office. now receives San Fran.
cisco papers on the eighth day from
their date. So Tehuantepec is no
longer an in:eroceanic or interstate
communication. There is no use to
incur the expense OF crossin. the
isthmus or OF improving the Pacific
ports. There are shorter and equally
good railroad locations at Panama Atra.
to, Nicaragua. Chiriqui. Porto Caballo.
with better terminal ports than Salina
Cruz. or even AIinatitlan. We demon.
strated, some months since, tina. a canal
to lift an East India steamer over seven
hundred and fifty feet SUNNI. in the
midst of the Sierras, might be much
better thing for the banditti than for the
mariners. That this thing of having a
shipwreck in the mountains was not for
every day, and that to destroy a single
lock might leave cargo worth million
and half dollars high and dry in the
air. So that which three American
centuries since was very feasible scheme
is, in the light of modern development,
obsolete and useless.
Is the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec there
fore Of no value to New Orleans? Quite
The contrary. It may be made valuable
commercially, to that city.
Taking the port Of Minatitlan as a COM
nercial base, let the railroad be carried
INTO the gorges of the mountains which
iyide the waters of the Pacific, and At
aptic. From this point it should pene-
rate fhe States of Oajaca on the one hand.
