BOARD OF HEALTH AND QUARANTINE.
The ravages OF the last yellow fever cpl
demic, which prevailed go destructively In the
city Of New Orleans and in other portions of
the State during the summer and fall months
Of the year just gone by, point to the fact that
no more important subject requires your at
tention than the consideration of the measures
necessary to prevent its recurrence. 1t Is q
question affecting not only the life and hap
piness OF the people Of the State, but also their
material advancement.
There exists some difference Of opinion as to
whether the yellow fever is always brought to
New Orleans, or whether 1t sometimes origi-
mates here. There exists also difference of
opinion as to the effectiveness of quarantine as
q measure Of safety against the introduction
and spread OF the disease. II is argued that
the summer trade Of New Orleans is to be
jeopardized upon mere conjectures, and 1t Is
contepded that the occupation of many of her
good citizens is to be broken up on the
strength OF mere theories. / am satisfied
that no injury will ever be inflicted upon any
portion Of the community under circum-
stances where wrong will be added to injury,
but the very basis Of all society is that indi-
vidual good must yield to that Of the public,
and it is the part of wisdom to throw the ben
eft Of the doubt in favor Of the lesser evil
We have to select between two theories. The
first one, II it be correct, may secure the in
terest OF small class, but, II 1t is wrong, may
cause the sacrifice Of q large number Of lives
as well as large property interests. The
second theory, II it be true one, saves q

when men vote, and when their cho-
sen officers meet to conduct the affairs
of their political Governments, no SOL
diers can interfere. This limit to their
antagonisms no political party can safe
ly pass"
So said William NJ Evarts, at mass
meeting of The people of New York, o
dozan years ago, when as yet he had
never dreamed Of linking his political
fortunes with those Of the then unknown
man Hayes
"An armed force in the neighborhood
Of the polls is almost Of necessity a
menace to the voters and an interference
with their freedom and Independence. :"
So said Geo. w. McCrary, in his book
on elections, before he had lent himself
to Hayes.
"Civil liberty and standing army for
the purposes Of civil police have never
yet stood together, and never can stand
together"
So said William H Seward, speaking
With the same wholesome adherence OF
military interference with the rights OF
the citizen which led the founders of our
G pvernment to circumscribe within the
narrowest limits both the size and the
functions of the regular army.
But We now see HAYES, in his veto,
marching beyond that limit in party ma.
n9lvres which Mr.. Evarts once declared
unsafe to pass; insisting on that right Of
using troops at the polls which Mr.. Nc
Crary declared to be a menace to the in.
dependence of voters; and intending to
make that use Of standing army as 9
police which Mr.. Seward declared to be
incompatible with the continuance oi
