II there was any fatal neglect Of

izens who failed TO move III this
matter, and we well know they we're
time aud again urged to 90 so by
the STAR. At the last regular ses
sion Of the legislature, preceding
tins special one, aud after last years
epidemic, Senator Garter wrote to
some Of our Influential citizens ask.

was desired for this county, and
place, and no mention Of quaran

and they will never believe him
guilty OF such criminal and Gu lpable |

We believe that Judge BIount
was acluated by the best OF motives,
and solely Tor the protection of the
place. in preparing and sending on
.he bill. and had he asked the as
'istance Of few of orr citizens, all
would have been well.
In this connection, we think Quar-

Ill requirements, should lie National,
nd sustained at the Nation 5 ex-
lease, and we hope that our legis-
ature, when it assemblies, will COM
nunicate with those of the otker
Southern States, that together, they
nay petition Congress to pass such
General quarantine laws as will
protect our Southern ports against
lie annual visitation of this terrible
courge and when quarastine is
lnder the direction OF the Federal
authorities, with such appliances
md restrictions as the Government
.an bring to bear, we may hope for
ome good being tfecled.
