THE QUARANTINE.

| The correspondence published yesterday
between Gov. Nichols and DR.. Chopin,
president of the Board of Health, relative to
the health of the city and the necessity of
continuing the present rigid quarantine
against it, is conclusive. DR.. Chopin de-
clares that the epidemic is at an end that few
new cases are occurring only two during the
past week-and that there Is no longer any
danger to returning absentees Or those whom
business or pleasure may bring to the city.
| In view Of this positive declaration of the
chief health officer Of the city 1t Is to be hoped
that the quarantine against New Orleans will
be everywhere raised and business inter
course with the interior resumed at once. A
further exclusion of the merchants and manu-
facturers Of the city from their customers In
this and contiguous States will be o gross IN
Justice, indefensibe upon the score of the
public health or any other reason. The city is
now free, or nearly so, and there is absolutely
no danger Of infection for the remainder Of
the season, New Orleans has already suf-
fered the loss for three months of
her legitimate trade. She has been shut
out in every direction, while commercial
rivals, taking advantage Of her misfortunes,
have stepped in and taken from her business
men the custom that years Of industry fair
dealing and an accommodating spirit had
secured. AS long as the fever existed in an
epidemic form, or there was any risk to non
infected places IN unrestricted intercourse, no
complaint was made. FOf two weeks how
ever, the reasons for the quarantine have
ceased to exist, and the business community
very naturally begins to chafe under the con-
tinuance of trade restrictions. Every consid-
eration OF fair play requires that the quaran-
tine should be raised at once. New Orleans
makes no appeal because of the charity her
people have shown, their self-saCrificiDg
spirit, or their noble zeal in assisting all who
have applied to them for help in the past or
present. All she asks for is justice. and that
is demanded with full confidence in a favor
able and Immediate resp onse.

(Strike out article one hundred and thirty
one.)
Approved March ii, 1878.
There can be no question as to the meaning
of this act. It simply proposes to amend
no matter what the Legislature may have
meantime constitutional method Of chang
ing the locality of the State capital, Hereto
fore the Legislature could change 1t by q two
thirds vote. If this amendment Is carried,
that provision Is abrogated and the question
must be submitted as between Baton Rouge
and New Orleans, OF the next election. The
first and necessary inference Is, that no vote
cast in strict accordance with the instruc-
tlons contained In the Governors proclama-
tion of election, can be counted. The only
votes that are technically correct are such as
are indorsed "For" or tAganst' the first
proposed amendment. Such as are indorsed
simply "For State Capital Baton Rouge" or
"New Orleans are mere blanks, and cannot
be counted.
What al absurdity to argue that an intelli-
gent expression OF the wishes Of the people Of
the State has been obtained at the recent
election upon matter in regard to which the
Governor himself was at fault In his mere
formal proclamation of election!
The truth Of it Is, these amendments were
the fruits of compromise between the tlmid
Democrats and the riDgsters, and the result
shows that the ringsters built better than
they knew. The whole thing is fraud and a
swindle. and there has not been an honest ex-
preston Of public opinion on q single one of
these amendments, and the returning officers
should treat them precisely as those sub
mitted at the last election were disposed Of
throw them out because the vote upon them
cnnnnt be cnmnIed.

this State, save that they do not approve OF
the scheme OF patching up the present con-
stitution so as to make it pass for new one
Democratic parishes seem to have voted some
for and some against the amendments. and
Republican parishes the same. Many have
in disgust refused to vote on this question at
all, there being no vote pro or con- on the
amendments expression Of opinion at all
on the coast. A singular picture of the ab-
surdty OF the whole thing Is the,vote Of the
heavy negro parishes on the amendments
In the white parishes the vote appears to have
been solely for OF against the whole batch of
amendments; IN Concordia, however. nine
tenths Of whose voters are negroes and three
fourths of them unable to read great critical
aeumen has been shown. The coorel voters
would appear to have studied each amend-
ment carefully its workings and effects, and
to have voted for 1t intelIigently and on its
merits. Thus the thirteenth amendment ap-
pears to be unpopular, the majority against
it being 2068, while the majority against the
fifth Is only 507, against the sixth 3O3, and for
the first 1863. The chances are that many of
these voters scratched out the "for' or
against Of the votes at random, and with
out the least idea of what they were doing Or
what they were voting for.
The first amendment-the capital question
seems to have Jared worst. In Ouachta
and several other parishes this was not
treated as an amendment at all The voters
simply cast their votes for Baton Rouge Or
New Orleans as State capital, without pro-
viding for any alteration of the State consti-
tuition on this subject, a vote which would be
as effective MS If the citizens Of New York
were to vote tomorrow to change their cap
ital to Sing Sing. In Ouaehita and these par
ishes the amendment establishing biennial
sessions Of the Legislature was voted on as
one, whereas here 1t was voted
on as amendment two. This is 8 fair exam
pie of the confusion existing In this vote on
the amendments confusion which was pre-
dlcted by us when the Legislature undertook
this amendment job

The Houma Progress was determined tc
crow, as all good Democrats have q right to
do over the result of the State election. The
type bag WAS taken down, its contents
searched over, but no rooster could be found.
Here was dilemma, truly. Native ingenll-
ity however, proved equal to the occasion
The cut of an ancient and stately Shanghai
hen had been secured in searching the bag
Our genial contemporary ably reasoned that
a hen was the next thing to q rooster; was,
In fact, the mother Of re osters; and was his
natural representative. No better substitute,
therefore, could be had. Accordingly, over
appropriate head lines, that old hen did some

In recent meeting Of the City Council
Administrator McCa'Iroy charged that Mr..
Stoddart Howell as treasurer Of the city
q number OF years ago, was O. defaulter
TO the amount of $4,000. Mr. Howell, in
card printed in the Times yesterday morn
ing, indignantly repels the charge and says
that he has been srnnrtng under it for ten
years. He now expresses q purpose to pub
lish in few days q statement of facts and
figures Sin order that the whip may go on the
proper shoulders This is frank and manly
and we urge Mr.. Howell to expose fully all
the facts relative to this long alleged defaca-
tion. II the money is missing let those who
nude way with 1t be fully exposed. Mr..
Howell was treasurer at the time, and natu-
raify tho responsibility has heen charged
upon him. Hence he owes it to himself and
the public to make known all the facts, that
the responsibility may be finally fixed upon
the guilty party or parties.

that Collector Smith, Mad. Wells and Tom

MIR. j. NJ. Beatty was married in
