state BOARD Of Health.

This able body is now in session in this
city. 1t has assembled to consider
matters Of the greatest public importance
how to protect the State from the
ravages of another epidemic. The
Board has unanimously decided that the
yellow fever, the scourge most dreaded,
is exOtic--that it can reach our people
only by transportation. Therefore the
off by stringent laws rigidly enforced.
The object Of the Board is to secure leg
islation to that end. Upon the General
Government will devolve the passage of
laws protecting the ports Of the United
States. Upon the State will devolve the
provision of measures to protect the State
if the laws Of the General Government
fail. The Board has decided that the
present sanitary code is wholly made
quate to the great emergency. 1t needs
power to ward off the disease and it
needs power to combat the insidious and
dreadful monster if it should come in
spite of all their Efforts To this end it
has appealed to the Governor to call the
Legislature together to provide addition
al legislation This step has been de-
liberately taken by the learned, TAR
sighted and patriotic citizens who
constitute the Board. They have given
the subject thoughtful attention. They
haye no motive at heart but the public
welfare. They have realized the trans
cendant public Importance of the measure.
The State canpot stand the strain of
another such a scourge. Arithmeti
cally aud materially the cost would
be immense. The physical and men
tai suffering is incalculable. Ar
gument would be out of place.
The proposition that the State must come
to the rescue and spare her people an
other such trial, is self evident. With the
past warning, if she is Indifferent to the
consequences, the world will judge that
she ought to be left to the mercy of the
pitiless storm, which God in His infinite
mercy, forbid.

on our frst page WE have printed let.

On our first page We have printed let
ter of Gen. D. II. Maury, describing the
details of plan of State militia adopted
at meeting in Richmond. The object
is to supercede any real or supposed ne
cessity for large standing army which
is the bane of republican government
and the chief prop of Capitalization, an
other name for despotism. The friends
of local self-government and State rights
have seen with alarm that the leaders of
the Republican party, including the Presi-
dent, have seized upon every circum-
stance calculated to exaggerate the ne
cessity of large military establishment
for the general government to be placed
at the disposal of the Executive and his
deputies. In time of peace, protection
from Indian hostilities and the mainte-
nance OF garrisons, are the chief uses of
the public service for the army and the
number of troops should be fixed by this
necessity. State militia should be the
reliance of the civil authorities in cases
Of emergency for the enforcement of law
and the preservation of peace and good
order.

HoN. FERNANDO Woop, who took ex
ceptions to that portion of the Presidents
Message charging the South with law
lessness and bad faith, happens to be the
very member who led the Republicans
and the thirty eight Democratic boilers,
in the contest over the descision of the
Electoral Commission not to go behind
the fraudulent returns to ascertain who
had received a majority of the legal
votes cast in the electoral college. But
for the superserviceable zeal of Hon.
Fernando Wood and his recalcitrant
Democratic body guard to consummate
the fraud ana to install the defeated can
didate he would have been spared the
gratuitous labor of commencing a sec
tional debate on the first day of the
session.

THE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION

THE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION at
New Orleans adjourned after a session
of four days Delegates were i'll attend
ance from seventeen States, and the ut
most good feeling marked its delibera-
tions. 1t recommended that Congress
should aid in the construction of the Tex
as Pacific Railroad Con the sd parallel /,
but unwisely omitted to urge that the
eastern terminus shall be definitely fixed
in the bill. 1t declared that Congress
should appropriate money to improve the
navigation of the Mississippi river, and
to construct levees on its banks which
will reclaim millions of acres of fertile
lands. 1t declared in favor of the ex-
pansion of domestic and foreign COM
merce, especially with the West India
Islands, Mexico and South America by
governmental agency, but unwisely di-
rected that it should be carried on by
vessels "built in the United States" in
stead of using the world for a market,
and allowing their purchase where they
could be obtained cheapest. The COM
mittee appointed to memorabilia Congress
selected the following sub committee:
Messrs. Pendleton, West Virginia; Au-
gustus Rejchard, New Orleans; Thcs.
Smith. Virginia; Parrimore, ST. Louis;
Ryckman, Chicago; EugelhaTd. North Car
DINA. and Martin, Mississipp-which will
meet in Washington early in January to
prepare memorials to both houses of Con-
gress, setting forth the action of the con-
Yeution.
A notable event of the convention was
a speech by Hon. Jefferson Davis, one of
the delegates from Mississippi, and the
enthusiastic manner in which it was re
ceived. The points are presented in
the following brief Geographic report:
The first speaker was the Hon. jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, who, in speech OF
thirty-fiVe or forty minutes, brought for
ward SO many aud fOrcible facts upon the
necessity of improving the great nationsl
thoroughfare from the mountains to the
sea, as that the most niggardly of citizens
would feel disposed 70 aid the Government
in an endeavor to i'm prove what nature her
self has long pointed out as the chief traffic
way of the entire country, north, south,
east and west. He showed that many mil
lions of acres of arabic land would thus be
given to us, while our intercourse inland. |
and particularly with foreign nations, would |
BY the increase of business, soon, very soon,
repay the Government for whatever may
be necessary to expend to perfect the cheap
est manner of transportation known to che |
civilized world.

THE bark Monrovia, has sailed from
the port of New York for Liberia, the
new home and Ell Dorado of the people
of African descent. Her cargo is an as
sorted one of provisi ons and goods.
Among the passengers are the Rev. Mr..
and Mrs. Burton, of Illinois, who go
out as Presbyterian missionaries; VIM
M. Davis, ex-Attorney-General of the
Liberian Republic; the Rev. DR.. ]. B.
Pinney, President of the College at Mon
rovia, and Geo. Kersey. Thirty passen-
gers go out in the Storage, and they
come from Texas, Arkansas, Alabama,
South Carolina, New Jersey and Boston
They are sent out under the direction of
the African Colonization Society. We
would by no means dissuade these people
from returning to the land which nature
designed for them, the home of their
forefathers, where the light of Christian
ity and civilization has been carried, and
the blessings of republican government
can be enjoyed as we'll as here, without
the disturbing elements of two races
whose natures are opposite.
