The National Board of Health
and the Louisiana Board Of
Health.
Vicksburg Herald.

Vicksburg Herald.l
The Louisiana state board of health
has requested the press of the United
States not to placeany credenee in any
report about sickness in Louisiana or
New Orleans that does not have the
sanction of that board. 1t also charges
the national board with having at
tempted to create a yellow panic
against New Orleans.
The request is an insinuation that
the national board is unworthy of
public confidence, and the charge is
indeed a grave one to make against
body created by law to protect the
United States from contagious and in
fectious diseases.
We think that the law creating the
national board of health is good one.
We think it might be better if it gave
the board more power TO protect the
people from the avarice of cities and
just such attacks as the Louisiana
state board has made on it. We are
now more convinced than ever that its
powers should be greater than those of
any state board. We believe that it
has done great good this year. The
people Of the Mississippi valley feel
more protected than eyer before. and
they believe the charges and ipsinu-
atiOns made against the national board
to be utterly false. Il never has tried
TO create any panic against New Or
leans, and the information it has given
has generally been very reliable II
has always warned the different ports
of the approach of vessels with contay
gious disease aboard, and it has put no
more restraints on internal commerce
than are advisable for the sickly sea-
son.
New Orleans had as wellunderstand
that the Mississippi valley will never
again consent to entrust its health in
the keeping Of Louisiana boards of
health. They have been careless, or
worse, in the past, and there is no
guarantee that they will not be so
fgain. The cities in the valley will
not soon forget how the John Porter
scattered woe and death up the valley
in 1873, and they will unite to sustain
a strict national board Of health and
clothe it with powers ample to protect
the lives Of the people. Up to this
time, New Orleans and its boards Of
health have subordinated the lives of
the people outside Of New Orleans to
the interests of trade. This must not
be. This appeal of New Orleans to
again give the health of the Missis-
sippi valley, as far as this dreadful
scourge is concerned, into its keeping,
cannot be granted

EDUCATIONAL.
The Bethel College Building
Under Miss Clara COnway's
management.

The English, French and German
and kindergarten sohoolof Miss Cla a
Conway, is to open next Monday at
the Bethel building, with full corps
of competent teachers. The curricu-
lum includes the French, German and
English system of studies, and en-
braces full course of accomplish
ments. Miss Conway has served the
public here for series of years, and
has always been recognized as highly
competent instructor. She stands
second to none in ability and capacity,
ranking deservedly high as lady Of
superior culture and extensive literary
accomplishments. Those who have
pupils to educate would do well and
serve their interests by callingon Miss
Conway and consulting her on thesub-
ject. A card elsewhere to-day gives
details of her system, and she will ex-
plain her charges in person or through
circulars, as may be desired.

A Strange Plea.

In Paris, some time ago, a drug
gist's assistant was tried for causing
the death of man by misleading a
prescription. The doctor, whose writ
ing is very clear, ordered eight drops
of laudanum, which the assistant
carelessly read as eight grammes.
or about a quarter Of an ounce.
The overdose naturally killed the pa
tient, and the court sentenced the pris-
oner to three months Imprisonment.
His advocates urged as an extenuating
circumstance that if the mistake had
caused the deceased his life, it had at
least provided him with painless
death.

THERAILRoAD sUTTs.

Judge Withey's decision that the
bond holders hayenolie upon the rail
roads, will have no material influence
on the canvas. The state of Tennessee
was not a party to these suits, although
the people anticipated the result with
much interest. The suits appeared to
be brought in good faith, and prose
cuted with zeal and ability. An ap-
peal will doubtless be taken
to the United States supreme
court by the bond holders,
and the final decision, whatever it may
be, will have some bearing upon the
public mind. Judge Withey has
simply decided that the BOND
HOLDERS have no recourse against
the railroads, and does not decide
that the state has no lein, or whether
the bondholders had become estopped
by the acquiescence in the sale OF the
roads or funding of the interest or
otherwise, nor whether the proceed
ings resulting in the sale we're legal
and binding under section II of the
act Of 1851 and 1852" There has
always been some doubt whether the
state had transferred its lein upon the
railroads to the bondholders. This,
however, is purely a legal question.
1t was never contemplated that the
state should surrender her sovereignty
and become party to suits in any
and every court. There was statute
at one time, we admit, under which
the state could be sued, but it stood
onlya few years, andnone of the bond
holders of the present day can sue the
state under that law or they would
surely do 50. This is political
question, as the Hon. Charles 0'Conor
says and cannot properly be dragged
into the courts. II, however, it ever
becomes apparent that the railroads
have discharged their debt legally to
the state and that the state is in a le-
gal, moral or political sense liable,
then it will be in order to talk about
a compromise and the general equities
of the case. But when it comes to
that we would greatly prefer Wilson
over Judge Wright. The latter says
substantially that we owe the debt
dollar for dollar. and that any abate
ment is an act Of grace or charity on
the part of our creditors, and that we
are abundantly able to pay the debt.
Mr Wilson would not agree to any Of
these proposition, and would make a
better compromise for the people than
Judge Wright by many millions Of
dollars. The decision therefore does
not help the high tax cause, but will
put the people more than ever on
their guard.

SchwatIsa.s search.

New York Herald. September ISL
In to-day's Herald we give another
interesting instalment of the remarka-
bic narrativeof Lieutenant Schwatka's s
expedition in search OF the Franklin
relics, and the views of Captain Barry,
Of the schooner Eothen, on several
topics, including his account of the
famous spoon which was the original
cause Of this expedition. There was a
spoon certainly, and byw whatever Esqui-
mau it was found twas just as clearly
a relic of Franklin's party, but the
story Of where it was found had evi-
IDENTIFY become twisted; yet there is no
reason to regret that this simple uten-
sil led to the organization of Schwat-
ka S expedition, for though it proved
a poor clew, yet certainly the minute
ness Of the search prosecuted by this
party makes it a gratifying achieve
ment, and it can scarcely be doubted,
IN view of this record, that the expe-
dition has actually traced Franklin's
party to their last refuge, and ascer-
tanned the total destruction in a sim
pie way of all the records which have
been so energetically sought for these
many years. To ascertain where GER
tain records were at one time and how
they were destroyed is not to find
them of course; and yet it is the next
thing to it, so far as touches the solu-
tion Of scientific doubts in regard to
their existence. In fact, therefore,
we may justly regard this as one of the
most interesting Of the search expedi-
tions.
