The Quarantine Humbug.
New Orleans City Itein.l

The old saying. WHAT is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander, y
finds a new exemplitication in the
quarantine tendencies now so pre-
valiant in this quarter of the world.
New Orleans commenced it, and
is now likely to suffer severely rs a
consequence of her folly. The his
tory of yellow fever at this point
during more than half century
proved the utter unreliability Of
quarantine regulations as means
of preventing the entrance and
spread of the disease. After the
terrible visitation Of 1853, which is
admitted by the highest medical au-
thorities to have been of local origin,
this was conceded to be fact. But
on the following year the country
Solons of onr State Legislature con-
Guided that pestilence could be wall
ed out by rigid quarantine, and
made arrangements to accomplish
their high purpose. Thus it hap
pened that for nearly a quarter OF a
century, or since 1854, the commerce
Of this port has been annually inter-
rupted and imposed upon by absurd
restrictions, which have been utterly
without avail, SO far as the objects
aimed at We're concerned. Our ex-
perieDce this year adds TO the testi-
mopy which had previously accnmu-
lated on the subject, for the opinion
is universal that the disease now
prevailing accumulated here. But
suppose it was imported, as a small
minority contend, of what use then
are the quarantine regulations which
have been SO rigidly enforced To the
prejudice of our commerce.
The most material question to be
considered is, however, that which
arises from our precept and exam
pie. We have sown the wind and
should not be surprised when the
whirlwind returns to us in the way
of harvest AS we commenced the
quarantine absurdity it was but nat
urai to suppose that smaller commu-
mites would follow our example by
returning the poisoned chalice to
our lips. This they have done.
Life to them is a dear as it is to us
aud II. as II means OF defence, We
adopt the traditions of barbarity we
can scarcely marvel that our smaller
neighbors return the compliment.

The Four Per Cent Loan.

The success which has attended
the opening of the foar per cent loan
to popular subscription has been
very gratifying to the Secretary of
the Treasury, At the close of bust
ness on July 31st, the following ex-
hibit was made Of the amounts SUBJ
scribed for the past four months.
April, s4.979.I50; May, ~ $50. 500 !;
June, 81, 052, 100; July, SIS, 272 200;
total, So, s32. $40.
The steady increase indicated is
far beyond the highest estimates
that were made at the time the loan
was thrown open to the public, and
there are indications that for the
next four months there win be little,
if any. falling of. The Secretary
considers the success which has at
tended bis efforts with these bonds
as one Of tho strongest clements IN
his plan for resumption.

Heedei Will Swing.

In Berlin. ep the 10th dag of July,
the trial of Emil Heinrich Max Hoedel,
the journeyman tinsmith who. at
tempted the life of the German EN-
peror on the 18th of May last, came
on before the High Court of State.
Of the large crowd embed in
front Of the Kemmergericht, but few
found it possible to penetrate into
the hall, the space set apart for
strangers barely accommodating
fifty persons. Hoedel, who arrived
in a prison van, escorted By mount
Led police, displayed his usual un.
concerned. There was an insolent
smile on his lips when, with de-
liant look at the audience fighting
for seats, he sat down In the dock
where he had come to listen to his
doom. Witnesses were examined
who fully confirmed the charge.
The coachman and chasseur OF the
Emperor deposed to seeing Hoedel
aim at his Majesty. Mrs. Melter.
the wife Of clergyman, distinctly
saw him fire the second shot at the
Emperor. Herr Albrecht, a mer-
chant, saw him fire twice at his Ma
jesty. Frau 'Hauch, the wife of a
journeyman tinsmith, happened to be
so hear the prisoner when firing the
first shot that he touched her arm
iu raising the pistol. She distictly
saw him aim at the Emperor. Gun
smith Barella declared the revolver
n deadly weapon, at to kill man.
However, as the pistol was badly
kept and the barrels were not in
their proper condition, the Emperor
could not have been killed had the
prisoner taken aim ever go we'll.
Other witnesses having given evil
dence of an equally damaging char
acter, the Public Prosecutor summed
up, after which counsel for the de-
fence Represented the prisoner as q
victim of Socialistic decisions, and
a man who might well be credited
with the ambition to commit suicide.
Hoedel, being asked by the presid-
ing Judge whether he had anything
to say, replied in the most i1solenf
tone that he had nothing to COM
municate to tile Court. At 4 o'clock
the Court, upon which devolves the
duty of trying traitors without the
assistance of jury. withdrew to
deliberate. In less than half an
hour the Court re-entered the hall,
and prououncing the prisoner guilty,
sentenced him to death. The pris-
ouer heard the sentence with appa-
rent indifference.

CoLFAx, La, August z, 1873.
Editor Chronicle:
That uneasy hes the head that
wears II crown is perhaps as true
to-day as 1T was centuries ago. The
modern paraphrase should read:
"Uueasy hes The bead of the man
who has an office and wants to keep
it.. The above reflection was ex-
cited by communication i'll the
last issue of your paper. And, al
though / neither know nor care to
whom the author alludes, as the
phrase "a well known person
might mean any old resident of the
parish, and zone who has had an
Injunction sustained against him, I"
might probably apply to a dozen
individuals, yet the charge against
the Unknown was of such singu-
lar nature to be made against the
citizen of free State, / cannot
help replying to it.
The writer says that that person
is, to his certain knowledge, organ
izing secret ticket to be put for
ward at the nominating conven-
ton, and inti,nates that by means
OF that ticket, he (tbe person. ex-
poets to defeat the will of the peo-
pie. My first impression, on read
ing the above hines, was that saw
the word scared interlined beneath
every word of them; my second
was that that secret ticket never
had an existence, except III the dis
ordered imagination of the writer;
my third led me to exclaim with
Joyeuse, ''Since when is it crime
for a citizen of this State to put
forward ticket for the considera-
ton of his fellow citizens? That
reflection gave me slight linking
of what might have been in the
authors mind when he penned
those lines. But of that anon.
Let us examine the charge itself.
A secret ticket seems to me a very
harmless, i'll fact, foolish contiiv-
ance; but i cannot sec the least
guilt in preparing one, and, while
it remains secret, how it could
defeat the will of the people, would,
I believe, puzzle the abilities of the
learned Judge to explain; When
once put forward, it is no longer
secret, bnt becomes the property
of the public, aud any one car OPP
pose it who chooses to do So. in
