THE PARISH COMMITTEE.

We looked In vain through bHt cOluIhiS ~
the three dailies OF this city to find some &C
acknowledgement OF the prompt settlement OF
all questions concerning the rules and regu-
Iations under which the primary elections are
to be held In this city October 8.
For weeks and months the Radical Times
has been seeking to stir up strife and discord
In the ranks OF the Democratic party by as
sorting that the party machinery was 10 the
hands Of d ring who were determined to carry
elections by fraud.
The Pscay,tne, with newborn zeal, has
taken up this Radical falsehood and rings the
changes upon 1t as glibly as Its Radical
neighbor, since 1t has been employed In the
service OF our latter-day doctors Of politics.
When the so-called Anti Ring Association
offered set Of rules for the consideration Of
the Parish Committee, they were promptly
adopted, In the interests Of harmony, with a
few notifications, which were recognized by
all reasonable people az necessary and proper.
weak attempt was then made to place the
committee In the position OF refusing fair de-
mands, but now comes the Ogden committee
and the Rtvet committee. In conference as
senbled, who approve the action OF the Parish
Committee, which In turn has adopted the
suggestions Of the malcontents and by their
fairness and prompt action have put their de-
tanners to the blush.
Notwithstanding this fair conduct their
traducers have not h I'd the manhood to &C.
knowledge their error, or to do common JUS
tice
We commend the patience and patriotism
which has characterized the deliberations OF
the committee, which Messrs. Chaffe May,
Bush, Phelps and Aldige admitted had
treated The business men With perfect fairness
and granted every reasonable request made
by them, when, acting In behalf OF the mer-
chants and protesting to speak for the Clti-
zens' Association, they bound the different
parts Of the Democratic party together again
In March last
1t does not detract from those men who
were called "buMmers" and politicians" that
this compact was broken by the managers OF
the Citizens movement as soon as it became
tp their interests to do SO; but it ID creditable
to these mali9ned men that their regard
for party unity and their determination to
leave no ground upon which boiling factions
may base their action. has resulted In destroy
ing all cause Of complaint and In indicating
the committee.

remedy by which the patriots OF 1776 relieved
their Acknowledged OF the nuisance Of
cowboyjsm. That remedy was the gibbet;
remedy which the DEMOCRAT has applied,
with what effect may be seen In the with
ings, eontortions and cowardly meanings Of
these detected and exposed marauders and
insolent enemies and plunderers OF the honest
people Of this State. But the Democracy
has not been satisfied with this measure OF
punishment OF their oppressors and despoilers
OF our State. They have not been content
with their defeat, dispersion and disbandment.
They have, In Imitation of the British Ia Zulu
land, burned their principal kraal, have obiit-
Grated every vestige OF that hiding place and
storehouse wherein they sheltered and pro-
tected their persons and plumber. They have
overthrown and destroyed the instrument
called the constitution, which was cover 1or
their crimes and O refuge against their ptr-
suers. On the first Monday OF next Deeem-
Der they have provided that this document
shall be expupged from our political history
and Its place shall be taken by constitution
which has imposed ample guards and de-
lenses OF the people against all the villafnies
permitted and authorized under the lnstru-
ment framed by the eonsocionists.
This Democratic constitution, opposed by
the whole Radical party, securing to this
people ample protection against every form
of oppression, spollation and wrong doing Of
public officials, presenting impossible barriers
to all such nefarions raids and plunderings as
were practiced by the Radical usurpers and
marauders under their constitution, will give
the coup de grcce to these oonspirators. When
this is done their present explosions OF wrath
and villification against the Democracy will
be succeeded by piteous wailings and lamen-
tations and prayers for mercy and forgive
ness for their long array Of crimes against
this people.

For come weeks the New York Board of
Police Commissioners have been unable to
transact the i'm portant business OF appointing
inspectors of election. There has been a dead
lock- the board being composed OF two Rob-
inson Democrats and two Republicans, who
have been unable to reach an agreement be-
cause the Republicans have insisted that
Tammany was entitled to one OF the two
Democratic inspectors at each poll, which
claim the Democratic commissioners denied.
The vote upon every list presented by either
side has been tie In the meantime,
Sydney P. Nichols, one OF the Tammany
commissioners. removed seyeral months
since, has been pressing q suit be-
fore Judge Westbrook to be reinstated. The
Republican commissioners, hoping for a
decision Of this suit in Nicholas favor, have
steadily rejected the list Of Democratic In
epectors presented by the Democratic COM
missioners, and the latter In turn have re-
ieeted the Republican list. Judge Westbrook
intended to deliver his opinion ON Monday
last, and Tammany expected it to be In favor
OF Nichols, when the plan was to ignore the
other Democratic commissioners and further
proceedings In the courts, and for Nichols
and the two Republican commissioners to
meet and agree upon inspectors These must
under the law, be appointed In September.
Mayor Cooper has, however, executed a ma
nenvre that has fairly Disconnected the
allies. Upon his request Gov. Robinson has
convened the Supreme Court Of New York In
extraordinary session, and the mayor has ap-
piled for writ Of prohibition directed against
Judge Westbrook, to prevent him from giving
judgment In Nichols's favor. The court re-
fused to grant the writ without giving the
other side hearing, but ordered a stay OF
proceedings until 1t passed upon the mayors
application. AS this cannot be done during
the present month, Tammany and the Re-
publicans see their cherished plan for secur-
Ing the inspectors Of election completely de-
stroyed. The police board as now constituted
will have to make the appointments, and two
Robinson Democrats and two Republicans
or one Republican and one Tammany man, as
the Republican members may choose-will be
selected. As consequence, there is great ex-
element In Tammany circles.

RAISE QUARANTINE.

Certainly the time has come when all
towns and cities that have established quar-
antine against New Orleans may raise the
same without injury. Quite number at
once acted upon the combined request and
representations made by the officers OF the
National Board OF Health, our State Board
and the Auxiliary Sanitary Association, ana
threw down the barriers that had been raised
as precautionary measures, but without just
cause; but there are others who have
not apparently recovered from their
groundless scare sufficiently to permit free
and unhampered intercourse. We submit
that this Is neither just nor sensible, and that
the further maintenance ofquarantine against
this city, which Is singularly and VIGOROUSLY
free from sickness, will have the appearance
of hostility to Our people. We challenge the
towns still clinging to quarantine. to compare
their condition, either as to cleanliness or
health, with that of New Orleans, which has,
at great labor and expense. been purified, aud
now presents as clean bill OF health as any
city In the country.
It seems very difficult to believe that fear
can still operate upon such communities as
still maintain quarantine against us, but
al other hypothesis would be too unchat-
it,. le and we prefer to think that the fears Of
few are Influencing the many to continue
the embargo against this city, which Is great
ly damaging our merchants aud doing no
good whatever. The time has arrived when
all internal quarantine should cease as against
New Orleans, for there Is no longer the faintest
pretext for It's continuance. On the first OF
October even the onerous restrictions on ex-
ternal commerce will be suspended by order
OF the Governor, and there should be no longer
any impeachment anywhere to the transaction
Of business.
The DEMOCRAT assures It's readers In the
country that there does not exist the slightest
reason for the continuance of quarantine as
far as this city is concerned. There Ia no
fever here and has been none for a long time,
and the few cases that did exist earlier were
purely sporadic. We hope soon 10 herald the
fact that not single town maintains It's
quarantine, and that trade and travel are un-
restrictad
