Oh SUNDAY MORNING, March -, there
was much excitement, and anxiety in this
city, when it was known that about fifty
new cases of smallpox had been reported
for the day previous. The Editor of this
journal felt strongly the general anxiety;
and although he had been a member of the
Board of Health, which position he had
been constrained to resign through the ac-
ton of parties in power; yet laying aside
all considerations on this subject, he adj
dressed a note to the President of the Board
of Health, proffering his gratuitous services
to the Board to be employed in any rag to
assist in combating the epidemic in our
midst; and therefore it is moi likely, as has
been stated, that after a proffer of help in
any WGy, in writing, he would at the same
time, whe handing the note to the Presi-
dent in person, stipulate for a particular
kind of service. 1t is true he has felt largely
interested in branch hoipitals on the sew
eral Islands; and may claim TO have been
a leading influence in obtaining an appro-
priatiOn of 5 $4,000 for this object; and it is
reasonable that the subject of branch hos
pitais should occupy his attention. But he
did not, at the time referred to, enter into
any discussion with the President of the
bOaIui IeSaTu 10 his taking part IN car
rying out any hospital scheme. As regards
the score of vaccinatOrs," who Offered
their services, we are not sure that the ac-
tual number of twenty came forward with
an offer of service; but we know of several
gentlemen, Mr.. Gibson among the number
who made an offer of service to vaccinate.
or assist the Board in any way to combat
the epidemic:-and surely had no proffer of
service whatever been made, it would
have been as easy for the President of the
Board, to have engaged a score of vaccina-
tors, possibly at n cost of fifty or one hun
dred dollars a day; as ninety-eight special
policemen at two hundred and fifty dollars
a day, to carry out a perfunctory routine in
so many c~ases,of guarding vacated premi-
ses;-like the wisdom of setting a watch to
guard a stable door, after the horse had
been stolen.
