dEAGT1 PROTECTION.

! Whatever We may think OF the danges
from epidemic disease. 10 is, beyond
doubt, Others have assigned il consider
alton which enters. greatly into the com.
! monest acts and instruments OF society.
Congress has assumed to take under its
! care the prevalence Of epidemics, and we
have now report Of the extent 70 which
cholera AID yellow teses prevailed in
1878.
1t is = singular remark of Dr. Reilly,
that, out of half million OF deaths.
there was only about eight thousand from
cholera and yellow fever. Yet, men are
more terrified by the death risk Of
special disease than by that OF all other
diseases and casualties. Such, however,
is the prejudice of the world, and we must
accept it as constant quantity. It
should be remembered, however, that Dr..
Reilly reports: 80 :. :. -.
Absolutely nothing tas been learned of
tho cause Of the disease. The question Of
lis autochthonOus origin or its Importation

Same climatic conditions is still unsettled;
specific modes of prevention and Of limita-
ton remain as vague and inebt; medical
opinion is ~ cnnfraed aud conflicting, and
medical skiii.as b. filed as befors
This. is the professional opinion, nor
can we expect any modification until there
shall be some satisfactory explanation and
some prevention or cure Of the disease.
But while it may not be specific for
this or that epidemic. it is well known
that clean streets, abundant water and
we'll ventilated buildings promote the gen.
eral health Of city, while abundant food,
good clothing and a small balance in the
savings bank increases the ability Of the
citizen to support the disease. Let US,
then, reintroduce sanitary measures, and
if we can not change the prejudices Of the
world, or arrest the progress of an cpl
demic we can at least be in better condi-
ton to repel its introduction and to
modify its mortality.

THB T8XAs PACIFIC RAILROAD.

l. The clear and sensible statement m ade
to the insurance companies by President
Wheelock as an argument why they
should subscribe to the stock of the Texas
road will, no doubt, make an impression
upon the stcckh olders in the several com,
panies. The immense decline in the in
surance receipts can have but one cause,
the diminished value of assessed prop
erty, of produce receipts and Of mer.
chandise sold. There is small moditi.
cation of this view to be found in the
transportation Of merchandise between
the Northern ci les and New Orleans by
rail without insurance, instead of by
coastwise steamers.
1t certainly dc IS not require that insur.
ance stockholders should be told that if
trade does not co ne to this city the insur-
ance on the vessels which carry it can not
be expected to increase or indeed to
maintain ITSELF
There is a special view of the i'm
portance of this Texas railroad to which
we would call the attention of the presi.
dent and directors OF the company and
the members of the Cotton Exchange.
There is constant migration of labor
from the Eastern Atlantic cotton region to
the cotton.felds OF the Southwest. The
present railroad routes lie north of Louis
lana, and enter Arkansas and Texas.
From these States the cotton tends to
Memphis or ST. Louis. There are two
lines of railroad traversing alr Southern
Georgia and Florida, and commanding by
connections the whole field of labor sup
ply in the Southern Atlantic and former
slaveholding States. This system of reads
requires but small extension be-
tween Montgomery, Alabama, and
cambridge and Quincy. the terminus
of the two roads referred to. This
connection completed would give New
Orleans access to and command OF the
whole migration Of labor from the worn
lands Of the East to the fresh and fertile
soil Of Louisiana and Texas. The rail.
road from Alexandria to Dallas will enable
Us to direct and locate this labor along
the whole extent of the line, and thou
sands Of hborers now producing cotton
for the markets of Savannah, Charleston
OF Mobile may be thrown west. and viii
bring their labor. and its products to the
advantage Of odr' city. The Importance
of railroad as a conduit to carry the.
travel or products to market is so obvious

! Hon. E. Booth has'writtea ! very shor1
letter, which might have been more elabo
rate but that he says ''in forced conclu.
son. from which we may infer that il
would have been longer but that some
cautious friend turned of the faucet Of
his discourse. The purport Of this.lettez
is to prove that Sir. Booth and those with
whom he acts are bent on reform of State
and municipal abuses, as we'll as on the
national unity Of the Democratic party.
Incidentally the letter conveys such unus-
ual compliments to the Picayune that it
flies into ecstacies, and repays Hon. E.
Booth with such an efusioa of blsrney as
must leave each party il doubt whether
! he has succeeded in pulling wool over the
eyes Of che other. or is himself <he dupe
Of superior powe: Of palave,. There is
one little phrase, however, which, unless
explained in supplemental correspond
ence, will leave . serious jmputation
upon the Pic. Il is this
If slone were dashed With the scorpion
whip OF wit or r1dicule my accustomed
shoulders would receive the blows with in
difference or fOrtitude, but when my unim.
portant name is attempted to be used as q
disguise for covert attacks upon the integ-
rity of an often betrayed, we'll intent;oned
aud still patient people, adopt the septi-
ment OF the second ward Democracy, that
They who are not for us are against u.s..
We translate this sentence thus: do
not mind personal ridicule, but when my
name is used as . disguise for attacks
upon popular integrity, then I shall go for
such assailauts It is precisely at this
sentence that Hon. E. Booth says. Elm

vivid image Of q writer preparing TO prove
statements 20 have been erroneous, and !
Democratic congruity, when other gen
tlemen rush at this writer. seize his pen,
empty his inkstand into the fireplace, and |
even reverse the piston Of this irepressi.
BILE locomotive. -. ..
How the Pic can extract from this letter
any sort of concession OF compromise
why it cab possibly imsgine' that che
writer intends j. sor an explanation, We
can not conceive. Our inference is that
if that conclusion had not been forced
i those two propositions had been devel-
oped in all their force Of argument and
that Hon. E. Booth would !
have 20 got away with the Pic that its (
circulation would have shriveMed to q

circulation in the Southwest" The Pic
'ould not more gracefully have accepted
