THE NEW QUARANIINE Law.
FAVORABLE COMMENTS OF MERCHANTS

FAVORABLE COMMENTS OF MERCHANTS.
The act now under consideration by the
Legislature, providing for the establishment Of quar-
antine aud for defining the qualifications duties, ana
powers OF the Health officer, claimed to be
ment the interest of the mercantile community and
thus OF general public benefit while at the same time 1t
does any of the rules necessary to protect the
health Of the people. The Health Officer. Dr. Wander
poel considers fair bill, and says that If enacted IT
will go toward restoring the shipping interests Of the
port which are believed have suffered under the
ent laws.
The bill ia cOdihcation Of various laws relating 10
quarantine All the sections OF the law Of 1868 which
have been found 10 work well retained IN the now
BILL under which the merchant has the power to make
his towage nghterage steyedoring, and cooperng
contracts The sanitary regulations unchanged and
are as stringent Under the Old laws the Health
Officer could retain vessels arriving from tropical or
infected ports 80 days before he rendered decision and
for 20 days after the vessel discharged before he
gave clearance, ana In the mean time the merchant
had redress The law provides for the detention or
vessels only for such time the nature OF diseases may
require, aud when ship arrives from an infected port
for period sufficient to determine the incubation OF
every decision of the Health Officer be contested,
and the appeal decided within very snort time. The
Health Officer says under the system lately enforced
(which the new bill is intended TO make ABSOLUTELY
the whole OF last Summer, and that the old system, II
continued will prevent the running OF steamers tO ana
from tropical ports in the Summer
The bill has been submitted to many leading mer
chants who about take strong action In its favor
and petition for its passage. The shpowners' Assocla
tOn Is said 10 approve the new law aud seems to meet
with the favorable opinion OF the Legislative Committee
Several amendments to the bill have been made com
mittee, and others will probably be suggested.

THE SPIRIT 9F TIE SOEJTlE.
The Boston AdUertiscT saws:

lne Boston A0GcTttSCF says:
| If we were to assert without proof
that there was at the present time a
general and probably a prearranged
| attack on the colored race by the
newspapers of the South, end particu-
larly by those of Virginia, we should
perhaps be met with the most indig-
nant of d. malls.
We think our Boston cotemporary
is mistaken. The weather down here
is entirely too warm for getting up
any thing indignant" over so small a
matter as a Yankee SANDER on the
South no matter how false or how pre-
mcditated it may be. We trust the
day las gone by when Southern peo-
pie feel any interest in the opinions
that our Yankee brethren entertain re-
garding them. Possibly if we had
shown less sensitiveness about the
slanders and Misrepresentation tn;
have so long been the stock in trade of
the Radical party, and had been less
eager to "set ourselves right before
the world" it would have been better
for us.
The A9rcrtiscr may make the asser-
ton tnat there is ga prearranged at
tack on the colored race" or any other
false assertion that suits its taste, with
impunity. Our capacity for indigna-
ton against such things is quite ex-
hausted. Our cotemporarT has cvi-
IDENTITY forgotten that this is an "cff
year in politics.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1873-06-06
MAcKENx.E1,s MEXICAN RAID.

The Boston .1drCytisCI stands, we
believe, almost alone in its unqualified
condemnation of General Mackenzies
pursuit and capture on Mexican soil of
the Lipan and kicllapoo Indians WHO
had committed outrages in Texas.
The other papers of the country,
both North and South, think that the
long list Of unredresscd grievances of
the people OF Texas, inflicted by men
over whom the Mexican Government
claims jurisdiction, constitute an
almost irresistible pr0vocation, if not Il
justification for Just such acts, NOT Of
retaliation, but of punishment, IS that
which now threatens to bring about
open war between the two countries.
If a tithe of the accounts that we
have of the outragcs comlitted by
Mexic rs, with or without the conniv-
ance of the Mexican Government, bc
true, the United States has just cause
of war against Mexico, but admitting
this, it by no means follows that either
General Mackenzie or President Grant
has the right to initiate the war with
ont the consent Of Congress.
It seems to be generally conceded
that General Mackenzie's raid was made
with the appreciation, if not by the
order, of the President, and it fol-
lows, therefore, that whatever
of blame may attach to that act,
belongs to the President, and it will be
well in forming our opinions to bear
this fact in mind. The President of
the United States cannot commit q
greater violation of law or transcend
his powers in higher degree than ly
making war upon q foreign nation
without the assent of Congress. The
right to make war is essentially and
necessarily an attribute of sovereignty
and the sovereignty Of the United
States does not, il law at least, rest in
its President.
But VIC arc so accustomed to uSliT-
patiOns of power on the part Of Pre- 81
dent Grant, without the excuse even
Of provocation, that this high-handcd
act of invasion Of the soil of foreign
nation by an armed force, provoked as
it was, will excite but little comment
upon the authority by which it was
made This unfortunate state of affairs
d )es not alter the fact, however, that
President Graz t, and not General Mae
kenzie. is tie party upon whom rests
the responsibility for this act Of war.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1873-06-06

united with the Orleanists and Legiti-
mists to defeat the Republic. But
they will not agree to any plan for
placing member of either of these
ciques on the throne of France. On
the other hand, in the eyes of the
Orleanists and Legitimists a Bonaparte
claimant for the head of the French
nation is as Objectionable as Repub-
ican. When these influences are in
full operation the MacMahon combi-
nation will be as unreliable as a rope
of sand. It cannot remain as gov
erning power. It will break down,
and with it the hopes of the enemies
of freedom in France. These are
facts to be considered when looking at
the defeat of NJ Thiers, the choice of
Marshal MacMahon and the character
of his ministers. The President and
his advisers are anti-Republicans, but
they axe anti-Repubicans from differ
ent standpoints, and there will be want
OF concert of action between them.
