EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In an article headed "The Doctors and
the Quarantine the REPUBLICAN has refer
ence to an address lately sent by number
of physicians to the Board of Health. The
REPUBLICAN takes issue with that portion
of the address which reads: THAT after
many years of experiment quarantine has
failed TO protect this city from yellow fever"
and inquiries, 'If quarantine has failed
to protect, is it the fault of the system or
owing to imperfect administration The
Judgment of the subsc, ibing physicians is
not given on this subject, which is the only
point involved in the controversy"
In my opinion the failure to protect is
owing to both, partially to the system, but
more SO to its inadequate administration;
and how could this have been other wise,
when the appointing power looked more
into the political creed of the incumbent of
that important and responsible position
than to qualification But the main ques-
ton devolves upon the system, and here l
feel it duty owe to myself to explain my
position. have always been warm ad-
vOcate for strict quarantine, and when /
signed that paper requesting the Board OF
Health to abolish our much abused
and inefficient quarantine institution,

and more efficient proceeding set in

which we are so much in need. We know
to day that ship coming from an infected
port may, even after the original compact
of forty days, still carry in it's hold the in
fectious matter which will finally develop
into an epidemic. We have since learned
to destroy etfectually the germs Of infection
and are able to accomplish that in hours
where formerly weeks were needed and
then no security obtained.
Why then, in the name of common sense.

supreme Cour, Decisions.
The Supreme Co1rt to-day has decided
the case of the State of Maryland against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
The State claimed deferred payment of
S50O000, as due for the period between 1860
and 1870, being one fifth of the passenger
fare over the Washington and Baltimore
branch of the road. The company refused
to pay the amount to the State on the plea
that the tax was unconstitutional. This the
Court of Appeals of Maryland overruled,
affirming the right OF the State to the money
in question.
The Supreme Court holds that the pa g
sepger tax was different tfem tax en
Interstate commerce, which the State
could not impose. The State had right to
impose conditions in the granting of the
charter Of the road, and it mattered not
what became of the money. The proper
iionate amount, or one fifth of the passen-
ger fare, was bonus to the State. 1t was
conditi IN imposed in consideration for
the franchise. This the State had right
to do.
The ceurt. in view of the facts presented,
could not regard the stipulation between
the parties as unconstitutional. The de-
cislon of the Court of Appeals was affirmed.
Justice Miller dissented from the opinion of
the court, regarding the tax imposed by the
State Of Maryland unconstitutional.

Steamboat Wrecked and several Lives
Lost.
ST. LOUIS, May 3.-Some additional par
ticulars regarding the loss of the steamer
st. Luke have been learned from Captain
Keith and passengers who came down from
ST. Charles by the railroad to-day.
The night was dark and the lights on the
bridge very dim. About thirty feet OF the
larboard side of the boat was crushed in
by the collision with the pier, and part of
her machinery was torn away.
She maze water very rapidly, but foated
down about two miles, struck bar in the
middle of the river and sunk to the hurri-
cane deck. The passengers rushed from
their berths in great terror, ran hither and
thither panic stricken, but all those not lost
in the collision were finally gathered on the
hurricane roof, where they remained till
daylight, clad eh7t in their night clothes
when the ferry boat came down and took
them ashore.
Five or six persons are supposed to have
been knocked overheard and drowned at
the first crash, but this is not definitely
known. Those whose loss is certain are:
William Brooks, fireman, ST. Louis; Tom
Donnelly, deck sweeper; Mrs. John Doran
and two children, who took passage at
Kansas City; one male passenger and three
deck passengers, names unknown.
About 100 souls were on the steamer,
most of whom, outside of the officers and
crew, we're deck passengers, no list of
whose names were kept by the clerk.
The boat had about 100 tons of freight,
which, with the boat, will be total loss.

Many friends of Mr.. Ferry, 1t is said, think
that he ought to have stated to the republic
can caucus or to the Senate that when he
was elected no such contingency as has &C.
Cured was thought OF, and that, as the
changed circumstances might induce the
Senate to prefer another Senator for its pre-
siding officer, he preferred to step aside and
enable new election to be held. But no
doubt it Is rather too much to expect OF hu-
man nature that Mr.. Ferry should volun-
tarily put himself out of the line of posi-
bilities for the Presidency. The temptation
10 " stick" is great.
