ton.
With this system of preparation vessels
I engaged in the tropical trade may arrive
in our liver with the same publication as
is ordinarily performed at the quarantine
ground. Even this system, however,
would be of little effect in expediting COM
merce were it not for an act Of legislation
passed last session upon the solicitation
Of the Board of Health. This law in effect
repeats the absolute time quarantine ss
it previously stood. and leaves to the
health authorities to prescribe the period
which vessel must remain at the station.
Formerly every ship clearing from an in
fected port must have remained at the
quarantine ground for a specified time.
Now she may remain there such time as
the health authorities may deem proper.
There can be no doubt, then, as to the
good effect of system which will dis
patch the cargo and passengers of q
healthy vessel, instead of OBTAINING all
such vessels for a specified time which
may be excessive and unnecessary.
We take no further interest in the late
change in the administration of the
Board of Health than to say that its local
and foreign policy have met our entire
approval. That the system of disinfec-
ton and quarantine tended, in our opin-
ion, to attract immigration and command
trade, and that it would be extremely un-
fortunate if the system shall in any re-
spect be changed until it shall have
received fair trial.
We respectfully suggest to the COM
mercial and other departments of our
city government that upon the health and |
reput ation Of New Orleans depends the |
question of her future growth or de-
cadence.

ment and with chemically the same effect
Why has the colored voter been told
that he shall not be allowed to vote unless
IN favor of the Democratic ticket? Be-
cause the Democracy do not deem it safe
to intrust man who has no property with

has it been urged by the Democratic press
that an illiterate voter of color can not be-

This right of suffrage stands in humble
analogy with the universal right of saliva
ton. Each is the equal right of all.
Neither depends upon color, opinion or
past condition. We must accept or disclai,n
the brotherhood which each imposes. If
the right Of either suffrage or salvation be
lmpugned or impaired in one, it must at.

ally together at the polls to defend that |
'acred right Of suffrage which, taken |

AN EXAMPLE OF CIVIL RIGHTS,

The Supreme Court of the United States
in the case OF Sauvinet VS.. Walker, has
virtually decided that while the Democ.
racy can not be punished Tor killing col.
ored voters in Louisiana, they are liable
to heavy. fines if they refuse to sell them
whisky. The case referred to was ap-
pealed from one of our district courts, in
which the plaintiff obtained Q judgment
against Walker, then proprietor of the
Bank saloon, for refusing to sell him a
drink at his bar. The defendant appealed,
and has been defeated. It would perhaps
be more satisfactory if we could exchange
the legal privileges of the colored people
to get gloriously drunk for the right
to vote and live. But we can't have
everything exactly as we desire, and per-
haps in republic, with such Democratic
minority as they have here, there is no
unmixed good. So long as the Supreme
CouEt tenderly and affsctionately protects
the colored man in his right to pour
tanglefoot whisky down his throat as long
as he can pay for the luxury, perhaps he
ought to be ready to yield up his vote or
his life cheerfully when the Democracy
make the demand.
Fortunately for the morals of the State,
the colored people are naturally temper.

Grant parish decision, perhaps the two

BELKNAP PROMPTED BY CLYkER TO
RESIGN.

BELKNAP PROMPTED BY CLYkER TC
RESIGN.
| We do not know that it makes any diff:
ference, in legal point of view, but il
certainly changes the personal and politi-
cal aspect of the case to know that Mr..
Holster Clymer advised Belknap to re-
sign, and even threatened to move for
proceedings of impeachment in case he
did not depart from the war Office sum-
marily. It may not be valid excuse
for Belknap to resign, or for the Presi-
dent to hurriedly accept his resig-
nation. that such alnotion from Office
was suggested and advised by the chair
man Of the accusing committee, nor
are We prepared to say that Mr.. Clymer
was authorized to tacitly promise silence
and exemption from prosecution in case
of the resignation of Belknap. We think
that Clymer behaved in treacherous and
the Secretary in very timid manner.
This show of timidity has been construed
By the Democrats into a confession Of
guilt, and attributed by Republicans to
an anxiety to relieve the President from
the annoyance Of another attack upon a
member of his poitica al family. The
latter motive, if it could be established as
the real one, is not sufficient to Justify
Belknap's hasty action. He should have
faced the music, like Governor Kellogg.
and defeated his assail ants in open fight.
But as he did not adopt this course,
and acted upon the suggestions of
Clymer, the Democrats should have
shown the magnanimity of the
Mississippians in the case of Governor
Ames, by carrying out the implied agree
ment The threat to impeach in case of
refusal to resign could fairly be construed
into . promise to drop the proceedings if |
Belknap complied. Admitting that Mr.. |
Clymer had no right whatever to make
such suggestion, yet, having made it, he
ought to have kept his faith. And when
we consider that the Judiciary Committee
Of the House is Of opinion that articles of
can not be sustained by the
evidence which has been taken, we are the
more puzzled for the reasons which
