THE BOARD OF health.

| We have examined with care the pro.
visions of a bill TO incorporate board Of
health of the State Of Louisiana, intro
duced into the Senate by Hon. Mr.. Brew
s'er. 1t is intended 70 amend all pre-
ceding acts on the same subject, but
would be much better Of very careful
revision, not merely in the principles OF
its legislation, but in the language Of the
bill itself Before commenting upon the
| principles of legislation involved, it IS
proper to note that it proposes to unite in
the president of the board of health the
| duties of the board and of the recorder of
births and deaths. We have no leisrse to
comment upon this consolidation Of du-
ties, but viii remind the fathers Of the
bill that the constitution Of the State re-
qrrires that ''every law shall express its
object or objects in its title" This bill
does not do so.
If the honorable father Of this bill had
done us the compliment to read what we
have written on this subject, he will have
seen that We disapproye the principle of
laying the whole expense Of protecting
the city against infection upon the COM
merce resorting to the port. Our propo-
sition was that New Orleans is a party
interested in the resort OF commerce to
her port. She must, as proposed by the
bill of Hon. Mr.. Hahn, reduce her charges
on commerce at her wharves, thereby
dividing with commerce the cost of main
tanning her wharves and their managers.
The imposition Of these quarantine
charges upon the shipping, by way Of
penalty, is not, strictly speaking, equit-
able. No officer in command of e. ship in
foreign port would knowingly receive
on board a passenger or package known
|. to be the medium of a contagious disease.
1t is often the misfortune Of ship that
infectious disease is developed in pas
sengers or crew at sea, 1t is unjust to i'm
pose a penalty upon such misfortune
Then the city is interested in increasing
the number Of ocean arrivals. Should the
law then impose upon all such navigation
the exclusive cost of preserving the city
health? Plainly not. A vessel of the
Merchants line comes from the healthy
port of New York with clear bills She
is boarded by the physicians at the
Baize, her papers Endorsed all right, and
she is permitted to proceed to the city.
Why should she pay thirty dollars quaran-
tine fee? What law has she violated?
What penalty has she incurred Ii is
simply tax on navigation, for. having
passed over the sea and the nayisable
highways Of The nation, this ship pays
this transit tax, Suppose this Merchants
line receives twenty-four semi-monthly
packets, here is tex upon innocent ship
ping of seven hundred and twenty dol
lars. For what? To protect the health of |
New Orleans Now, is there any Justice |
or wisdom in imposing this tex on
strangers coming to trade with Us Why

New Orleans and Texas-the Morgan and
| other lines-should be favored with hall
price admission to our port, we can not
see; but it is q great Encouragement to
| local commerce that shell schooner COM
| ing from Gallon bay or Isle-au-Pitre, or a
charcoal lugger from Pascagoula, must
pay toll at the Rigolets or Atchatalaya for
supplying the wants CT the city. "What a
| plague" have these coasters to do with
preserving the health of the city against
foreign infection? They are not bene-
| flied by the police or the public schools,
or the use Of the highways Of the city.
Why should they be taxed to keep out the
yellow fever of Vera Cruz, or the small
| pox Of Dublin The whole principle of
making commerce protect the city health
is Unfair; the principle of making healthy
vessels from healthy ports pay more than
q share ratable with the health tax I'M
posed upon the city itself is especially IN
just. The proper reform will consist in:
l. Dividing the cost Of quarantine be-
tween the people and property owners Of
New Orleans and the commerce resort
ing to its port. 2. In exempting clean
vessels coming from clean ports altogether
from any share in this tax. There are
some details in our opinion Objectionable,
which We shall take the liberty to note on
the bill itself, for the attention of its
patrons. They are unnecessary for the
general reader. Relieve the commerce Of
the port of all unjust and impelitic
burdens. This principle it is important
to inculcate. It has been known to have
been violated in this system of taxation on
commerce with the imposition Of euaran-
tine tax in part upon the people and
property of the city. There will come be-
fore this Legislature citizens to remon-
strate against any abuse Of this form of
taxation. Atpresent this form Of taxation
is levied upon 'the stranger within our
gates, who has no standing in our courts
and no sympathy 10 our Legislature Pos
sibly it may occur to this stranger
that it is better to enter some port of
the Eastern Atlantic coast and remove
his Western cargo across by rail. There
are such ports, where there is not hun
dred miles Of towage, charge OF twenty
cents ton wharfage, compulsory pilotage
Of three dollars and fifty cents per foot
draft, and twenty dollars trip gate money
during quarantine season Of seven
months. Let our legislators remember
that eight million tons of Western trade
last year crossed the Mississippi, the Ohio,
and the Allegheny mountains, and reflect
whether this inhospitable tax on every
ships visit to our port may not have lost
much more than the sum collected will

.The Democratic Papers, with SUSPICIOUS

The Democratic papers, with suspicious
unanimity, RETAINED from publishing the
important official kilograms given to the
public in an extra REPUBLICAN on Monday
evening. The broad intimation of the
Secretary of War, that no men, or body
of men, must CONSTRUCT the administra-
ton of the recognized government of the
State" and the emphatic statement of the
Attorney General that the executive recog-
milton of Governor Pinchback is final,
and revocable only by Congress, were too
much for their delicate palates.
Well, we admit it is pill bitter-coated
with disappointment, but they may as well
take it atsonce. Hiding the fact from
their readers will do no good, for ''this
people" have learned that in the REPUB-
L1cAN the whole truth can be found at all
times, and they are gradually acquiring
an appetite for such wholesome mental
pabulum.

Whenever the Times and Picay7ne refer
to the down-trodden people of Louisiana,
they are understood to exclude the colored
folks altogether, which leaves them in a
minority. To put a fine point upon it,
there are only about ten thousand people
in the entire State who DO really belong to
that interesting family called the down
trodden. Ireland has crowd of the
same breed, Hungary another, Poland
another, and so d. They are noisy and
needy.

quietly corrected by the eminent Domini-
can, who informed Misther McGloin that
"there were no oppressive laws in Louis

they should be thankful" AS Father
Burke is not hunting for an Office, he tells
the truth. AS Mr.. McGloin hopes to OBJ

The Times speaks Of the holiday that
occurred on Monday as powerful politi-
Ca demonstration that "meant business. :"
On the contrary, to our eyes, it looked
like it meant ''no business" The politi-
clans, or rather the place-hunting De-
mocracy, had run away the business, and
the people, having nothing to do, as
pastime turned out to look at the antics Of
the place-hunters. A number of men
shut up shop to avoid being solicited for
contributions to carry on the war.

TIE FLAVOR OF TREASON.

When the Pic1yaae says that no man with
the heart Of chicken in him would sub
| nit to despotism like that which is being
maintained over the State of Louisiana,
10 asserts a proposition we can not discuss
from its standpoint having no heart Of
chicken within Us, but which We can de
noHnce as irreconcilable with fidelity TO
the national government, since the power
that uphold5 the government of the State
descends from the nation. The chal-
lenge delivered by the Picayqne to
the people IS that they shall resist
what the Seaeyai government has agreed
to protect, which is but a proposition to
reopen the rebellion. The slthor of the
suggestion may not have understood his
own language, or fully. appreciated the
force Of his own suggestions. But this is
what It amounts 20, that those who are
brave sud hope to be free should resent
rhe government which despotism has set
az in tle State. The foundation of the
existing order Of Affairs il Louisiana rests
upon % judgmen. issued ont Of
@ United States coufs. which, the
United States is bound to pro-
*ecs and uphol3 Until it is ses aside
or reversed by another order. Such be-
ing the case, how is resistance to be made
to Pinchback's government without being
made against the power behind him, and
which is pledged to his maintenance?
And if the Pjcaysne does not mean to go
through with its fight, but only designs
to lure a few mGdcaps into scrape in
order to secure capital for dolorous tale
to be told the world over, then it's plan is
q good one, but the leaving out the heart
of the chicken spells the favor of the
effort
