NEW ORLEANS GUARANTEED.

For several years past it has been the
practice OF the mercantile authorities OF
Galveston to quarantine New Orleans for
yellow fever infection. This naturally i'm.
proves the sale Of old stock on hand at
Galveston, and tends to turn the trade OF
interior Texas to St. Louis. But we ask
the merchants OF Galveston if this is COM
mercial equity: We subjoin report Of
the Board Of Health showing that there
is next to no disease of the character
quarantined prevailing here. Why should
Galveston seek to 60 US an injury by that
which can do her little good? There must
be stop pu. to this sharp practice, by
which the very magnitude Of trade
operates as ar excuse for its restriction
Congress has already sent commission
to inquire into these abuses, and it is not
impossible that the whole power Of quar-
antine will be taken out Of the hands OF
little coast ports and placed under the
control of the federal sanitary authorities.
We understand Governor Kellogg has
advised the Governor Of Texas of this
unreasonable order Of the authorities
Of Galveston, and the president of the
Board of Health has added the following
certificate Of extraordinary health in our
city:
OFFICE % 7HE BoARp OF HKALTH,,
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
New Orleans August 28, 1881
At this date only one case Of yellow fever
is under treatment in private practice and
another case in the wards of the Charity
hospital. These are the only cases known
70 the Board Of Health.

UNClPTURED WAR MATERIAL.

General WigfalI is reported to have said
in Baltimore. on the occasion Of decorating
the graves Of Confederate dead
II is gratifying TO me TO know that if the
cause is lost the spirit which maintained i:
still remains.
This is probably intended IS literary
larceny, If it is no. direct plagiarism
from the speech OF a much more distin-,
guished rebel than any We had TO deal
with in our little sublunary war. It was
just after the loss Of great battle, when
one Of the chiefs delivered himself 20 the
following effect:
What thsngh the field be leste
All is not rat; the unconquersble VII!
And study of sevenge, immortal hate.
And courage never to submit or yield.
And what is else not ts be overcome
That glory never shall his wrath oI wight sa:c't
from me.
We may add sha. the author of the last
quoted speech was never amnestied, and
SO far as We are informed, pe;eY had the
cheek to ask for it.
The moral Of Mr.. Wigtall's speech. il
what he says were true. would be that the
United States goye,nmen. made serious
blunder in letting any OF the war material
of the late Southern Confedesacy escape.
Al! the guns, ammunition, ETC., were duly
seized, and either destroyed Or put where
they would do the most good. but il APP
pears that the mainspsing Of the rebellion,
the great inspiring cause, was permitted
to escape under cover of an amnesty. IF
all the people Of the South. as Mr.. Wig
fall intima:es, and as JEFF Davis positive
Iy asserts in regard to Southern women be
true, then the government made serious
blunder when it let single rebel escape
alive. But fortunately what these politi-
cal failures say is not by any means true
The people of the South have returned TO
their citizenship and allegiance, and have
no longer patience to listen to such inef-
fable folly us Wigfall inflicted upon them.
He was snubbed ip most e:fectual man.

can not be dispensed with in time Of wal
any more than in time Of peace. If it is
overthrown we are already conquered.
These may have been partisan complaints
they may have been unfounded. but they
were believed. In the conduct Of the wal
Mr.. Davis was not more popular with the
army. He was supposed to aspire TO the
glory Of directing from his Cabine: the
movements on the field. His indisposition
to accept jackson, Lee and Johnston are
historical. His preference Of certain Gen
erals not acceptable 70 the army was well
known. When a congressional delegation
asked him to restore Beauregard to the
command Of the army Of Tennessee,
which be was alleged to have quilted only
on sick furlough. Mr.. Davis replied. ~
the whole world were to ask me to restore
General Eeauregard to the command
which have already given to General
Bragg. would refuse it." When John
ston. by his Fabian policy. was embar-
RAISING the advance OF the federal force
into Georgia, Mr.. Davis was accused
Of communicating rather with the sub.
ordinate officers than with the
department commander. and Johnston
himself was astounded 10 receive notice
that he was relieved from the command,
and that General Hood was to be his sue.
cesso:. The unpo pu1arity OF this military
administration eliminated at last in res
olutiQn of the Legislature Of Virginia, de-
claring that the appointment Of General
Robert T. Lee TO the command Of all the
armies of the Confederate cause would Re.
animate the spirit Of the army and inspire
increased confidence in the final success
Of the cause. This position was assigned
General Lee, but he only accepted IL sub
ject to the the constitutional supremacy
Of the executive. II, however, showed
that the people, the army and the Legisla.
ture had lost confidence in the capacity
OF Mr.. Davis 70 govern. It proved,
moreover, that those who had
stickled under the Union for the venerated
rights Of the States, and the inalienabie
rights OF the citizen, manifested no re-
spect fo1 either when themselves entrusted
with the autocYacy OF government.
These are the reasons, succinctly stated,
why the Southern people are not dis
affected why Mr.. Davis is entirely with
out influence among them, and why, de-
irving more advantage from emancipation,
and . protective Union, than from any
fancy form Of government which the NAL
contents can offer, the Southern people
can not be again enlisted in any such cru
sade as may be projected for :hem.
We pulish these views and desire the
Republican press OF the Mississippi val
ley 10 regard them as sincere and WELL
founded. Louisiana and New Orleans
in common with other States and cities
intend applying 70 Congress for app-o-
priations:justly due the valley Of the Mis-
sissippi. A few disconnected politicians
seek TO produce the impression Of a popular
disafection which does not exist, and the
minds Of the coming Congress must be
disabused Of that belief o. all applications
will be in vain.

New Orleans, June l9, 1875
WHEREAS, 1t appears from information received
from the Auditors office and from other sources,
that many just claims exist against the State,
which under article l39 of the constitution can
not be paid for want of appropriation, which cases
are Justly entitled to legislative relief; and
Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
or at least, improper claims have been in previous
years hurriedly passed upon and provided for in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas, While it is but just that all legitimate
claims should be promptly lquidated, it is equally
essential ths. claims of every description should
be carefully scrutinized before being passed upon
and
Whereas, The Law makes it me duty Of the Au.
ditor to investigate unlqudated claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now, therefore, in order TO arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims. and to enable
the Auditor to make the proper recommendations
in such cases, favoring those which are just and
Njecting those which are fraudulent, parties hav

legislative action are hereby requested 70 forward
them to the Auditor, together with such vouchers
and proofs will enable that sficss to ascertain
the merits of the same; and no claim will receive
