port. The opinion Of the Secretary Of State
is now quoted by the British consul, to the
effect that the exception by this board OF the
rules of the National Board OF Health has
probably changed the regulations Of the for
mer as affecting vessels coming from ports
In the provisions of the Governors proclama-
ton. The particular rule OF the national
board, on which the Secretary's opinion Is
based. must be No g. as follows: I'm case the
condition Of the vessel is satisfactory, and
neither yellow fever, cholera nor plague nor
smallpox nor typhoid fever In epidemic FORM
exist at the port from which she sailed, or at
any intermediate port at which she may have
touched, or on any vessel with which she has
come In contact during the voyage. the health
officer mav ia free pratiq,te. and the vessel
may proceel to the wharf or usual anchor
age.
! The construction put by the honorable Sec
rotary Of State, Mr.. Evarts, on the above sec
ton might be quite correct provided our
quarantine officer could satisfy himself upon
the condition OF exemption from infectious
diseases Of the port Of departure or ports
touched by the incoming vessel; but In the
absence Of medical ag nts, In the interest
rather Of public health than OF free CONNER
cial intercourse, he could not be reasonably
satisfied as regards ports liable In any degree
to Infection.
It was hoped and expected that the National
Board Of Health might be enabled to supply
this want, SO rs to harmOnize as far rs possi
tie, sanitary necessities with commercial
wants, but legislation seems SO be defective
on this point and quarantine authorities are
left as much In the dark as ever. and have no
recourse but to protect their charges In the
old method. But, again, It was not to be sup
posed that the rules and regulations recon-
mended by the National Board, adopted by
the board should supersede State laws estab-
fishing quarantine. The laws Of Louisiana
clearly define the duties of the Governor and
the State Board Of Health, which they are
bound to carry out With tho assurance OF
my distinguished consideration,
/ have the honor to remain, etc,

II we make mention Of the above fact 1t Ia
to show what fndomitable energy and true
commercial enterprise can accomplish. Not
three months ago the business place Of
Messrs. Schwartz Il Bro. was Ieveled to the
ground By fire, and to-day, from the very
ashes still lingering on the blackened ground,
new establishment OF much grander and
finer proportions arises, phRnix-like. We
want more Of this same kind Of energy In
New Orleans II we wish to make it, as 1t Is
naturally destined to be, the great CONNER
cial centre OF the South.
Some other day we will speak of the great
enterprise and aagacity Of Messrs. Schwartz
y Bro. In relation to the Spanish Fort Rail
road, which, from dilapidated concern, has
been made, by judcous outlay, one Of the
most popular roads that enable our citizens TO
emerge from brick wall centres and seek re-
cuperation on the breezy shores OF the lake.

HABEAS CORPUS.

cealed Weapons by the CTlm-
inal Court Seeks Relief
Before q Civil
Tribunal.
The application of Marx Lawson, for a writ
of habeas corpus, was tried in the Fifth Dis
trlct Court yesterday. Relator averred that
he is held In custody on q commitment by the
Superior Criminal Court on no lawful cause.
Lawson had been sentenced by Judge Whit
aker, In June last, to two months IN the Par
ish Prison for carrying concealed weapon,
to wit: dirk knife. w. l.. Evans, Esq, as
attorney for Lawson, had tried few days
ago to secure a writ Of habeaa corpus before
Judge Abel, on the ground that the sentence
had been passed against his client for carry
ing concealed weapon, when the law Mon
tions the carrying conceated OF dangerous
weapons The writ was refused. Attorney
Evans then filed the application for hdbeAs
corpus before the Fifth District Court. The
trial OF the writ took place yesterday. Assist
ant District Attorney j &. Baker represented
the State and the criminal sheriff. The same
argument On which the application to Judge
Abel was based was used by Mr.. Evans on
behalf Of his client. Realtors counsel held
that the commitment was deficient, and that,
by virtue of article S22 Of the Code Of Prac-
tice, this court had authority to release the
prisoner.
Counsel for the State argued that the
remedy Of relator lay in an appeal to the SUI
preine Court on a writ OF error to set aside
The commitment. Several authorities were
quoted on both sides, and the case was taken
under consideration by Judge Rogers, who,
pending his decision, ordered the prisoner to
rGmaHIpl.

The Mystorr OF Exehnnre.
From the Boston journal Of Commerce.

from the Boston Journal Of Commerce.
We presume that some OF our readers
are aware that the quotation Of foreign ex.
change represents premium considerably
in excess Of the actual fact, but We doubt
whether all Of them know precisely what
Is the difference. BY the usage of bankers
the old Spanish dollar is assumed as the
par of exchange, 81 being equal to four
and tOur-nintbs Of these dollars. It was ct
thisrate that sums Of money mentioned in
the Constitution Of Massachusetts were
formerly changed into Federal money, and
the date no doubt originally represented
the true par between the two countries.
In point OF fact, however, in the establish.
ed moneys OF Great Britain and the United
States 81 contained as much gold as 81 81
OF United States money, and this Is the
true par OF exchange or rate which must
be used In converting the money OF one
country into that Of the other. For in.
stance, II anything costs El00 in Great
Britain, lts true value value expressed in
money Of the United States is $4S7. Ac.
cordtngly, 1t is fact familiar 10 all bank.
ers that when exchange Is quoted at 1901
there Is no real premium, but the true paf
has been attained, because II we multiply
Si.A 40, which is the nominal par, by
l094 which is then the quoted rate, we get
AS7, which is tho true par. We need
scarcely. add that It is owing to this cir,
cpmstance that the exports OF gold from
the United States are not larger. li:there
really existed such q heavy premium on
bills Of exchange as many persons sup
pose, It would be immensely profitable 10
export gold to Great Britain. In point OIL
fact in view of the necessary expenses Of
freight, insurance, and loss OF interest
the margin does not more than cover the
risk. The United States halt.eagle, it may
be added, contains l6 grains OF pure gold
equivalent TO IS; the British sovereign
III grains, equivalent to A.97 Of United
States money.
