Aurora BENEVOLENT Association.

Last night the streets were enlivened
with the strains of martial music. Notwlth.
standing the heavy rains Of the afternoon,
the Aurora association met at their rooms
to install the officers elected last Friday, and
after the appropriate ceremonies had been
finished, the line was taken up and the sew
eral newspaper Offices were visited. This
popular association was founded about three
years ago, and has about one hundred and
twenty-five members. Last night the long
line gave evidence of the spirit of the MEM
bers. After taking in all the papers, the
members, to the music of Jaeger's band,
kept step up to McClosky's restaurant,
where a bounteous repast was laid out. Al
ter partaking of the open hospitality of the
Anroras, toasts were i'll order, when the
President, Mr.. May, after speaking of the
past history of the association, proposed the
of the society. Messrs. Human,
Benners, Kalinski, Smallwood and Sam
bola responded to toasts, and after the "wee
sma' hours" had passed. the members with
drew. We acknowledge the compliment
to the Bulletin for the serenade by
the Auroras.
The following are the newly elected Off
GERS:
President, Eugene May; Vice-President,

Quarantine.

As the summer months approach, thi
question of quarantine again presents ii
self. Our readers-especially those in &C
tive bnsiness-need no reminder of tn
Texas scare of last summer and it's cOnse
quences, or Of the serious effect of this yearl,
blockade of orr pult on the foreign com
merce Of the city. Without entering int
any discussion Of the various theories O
yellow fever and other epidemics, theil
mode Of dissemination and prevention, il
will not be denied that the tendency Of
public opinion, and the experiences of com
mercial intercourse, are against the utility
of guarantees as enforced here, and that
they do not fulfill the professed objects.
1thas been asserted that under the provi-
sions ofthe law here, there is no choice, and
that quarantine must be enforced. We do
not so understand the law. 1t is mandatory
enough ii all conscience, but we fail to see
where the penalty lies if the Governor in
the exercise of a sound discretion, differs in
opinion with the Board of Health In the
present struggle now making to attract the
European steamships to run regularly to
our port, it is the height Of folly to close
the river for the SUI miner months, and shut
out the very business we are begging for.
Yet this is exactly what is done whenever
the law is enforced.
Because an epidemic is raging in the West
Indies or some South American city, or there
is some pestilence in European harbor, we
close up the shipping business of the season,
as if the river was thessole avenue for the
approach Of disease; while the land avenues
are all open! Can any thing be more absurd
A man and his baggage may land at Key
West or Pensacola, or sometimes at Mobile,
cross the Rigolets by the railroad bridge be-
fore the eyes and noses of the doctors on
guard there, who won't allow a steamer
to pass without inquiry, and be here
without question, but woe unto him
IT he comes up the river on a
vessel that touched at Havana when
the "vomito" is at work. He becomes an I'M
clean, pariah, and must swelter at quar-
antine point until perspiration and mosqui-
toes have absorbed all the bad blood out of
him, and he is regenerated and made over
by virtue of Mississippi water, and clean
bill Of health, and this is the New Orleans
quarantine. Is it not time to take a new
departure, exercise the same common sense
we use in private life, and in this exigent
crisis of our struggle for business and ex-
istence, abolish this remnant of our absolute
usage, and like other places trust to other
measures for the sanitary condition of New
Orleans

TO Our .Adrerfisers.

We have long lssssstsfied that the rates
of advertising charged by the Associated
Press in this city are much too high, and
that advertisers in view of the very crcum-
scribed ejaculation of the daily journals, do
not get an equivalent for their money. We
propose to cut down the rates from this
date to 81 per square for the first inser-
ton, and so cents for each subsequent inser-
ton. Wants and To Rent will be inserted
at so cents for each insertion.

The results Of the Ashantee war are alto
gether satisfactory or honorable to England
IfSir Garnet Wolseley's orders were to burn
Coomassie and defeat the Ashantees, Sir
Garnet has obeyed them to the letter, but
the Ashantee power is not BY any means
crushed. The mere burning of Coomassie
and the killing of about 1000 Ashantees in
five battles cannot compensate England for
the loss of 81 100000 and the killing and dis
Aiding Of 800 of her sons, besides the loss Of
over two score Of valuable men by disease

A New Election.

So little has recently been said by the city
papers in reference to new election that a
number of people have become quite hope
less in that regard But from all the indi-
cations and from such private information
as we have obtained we are satisfied that if
not before next fall, then by next fall GER
tainly, general election will be ordered
under Federal auspices.
1t has been taciry agreed upon, as we
learn, that after the necessary specification
shall be had over the measure, after Mr..
West shall have aired his ignorance of the
true principles involved and his devotion to
the administration, after Norton shall have
given utterance to more OF his undiluted
venom and recited more tales of ''raw head
and bloody bones" and in short, after every
one has spoken his little piece, action will
then DO taken, and the Democrats uniting
with q sufficient number of Radicals, will
vote for a new election.
This is said to be the programme, and
this would be far better than continuation
of the present bayonet government. Any
thing would be better than this, for every
day that this foul usurpation continues
nail is driven into the coffin of free govern
ment and men are becoming familiar with
tyranny Of the very worst type.

The diluted sarcasm in the Picayune, in
reference to new journals, comes with ex.
ceeding bad grace from that paper of all
papers in the world, for it was only little
while ago that that young journalistic fledg-
ling, the Herald, captured the Picayune
itself, after very brief engagement, not
only putting former propr:etors and editors
to flight, and taking possession of the build
ing, but actually selling out the entire es-
Enlistment, bag and baggage, to it's present
proprietors, who are composed in pretty
nearly equal proportions Of the Herald Com
pany and A. M. Holbrook-little more Hol-
brook, unfortunately, than Herald Company
Young papers are sometimes dangerous,
and ridicule of them on the part of wheezy
aud puffy old journalistic fellows like the
