No watering place has ever equaled Coney bsland in the magnitude of its business. The hitels there are so crowded that they cannot lodge their employes. The number of people 'who are seen at the tables is simply immense. Oae hotel is said to have fed an average of 30,000 daily, and one day the number was in creased to 45,000. As a further evidence of t..vaest business done it is asserted that in +8e of the hotels 30,000 napkins are washed nry ight. a Atalmostthe identical time as the Yazoo ~ occurred an outrage in Iowa which the Northern papers have somewhat overlooked. The stalwart editor of the Lemars Sentinel, who lately started an Okolona States In the Hawkeye State, insulted a school teacher of the neighborhood named LaGrange, and was severely handled and beaten by him; where upon the stalwart howled and 'ran, shouting for help. There is no particular moral in this story, as everybody must have known the true character and nature ofthescribbler who wrote the stupid abuse of the Solth in the B &2enitel, Consociation Clinton remains modestly in the background. He has been charged with rascality and mildly mentions that he has been successful in business. He has also been charged with other. little peccadilloes that seem to require some explanation. For n Istanoe, it has been alleged that he escaped the Penitentiary by the bribery of a juror. _'He has neither replied to this in his news ..paper, nor has he gone into a court of justice to vindicate his character. Why is this? Does he know that he really has no character, ex eept a very bad one, and that a jury would so decide? Galveston and Houston are at it again. The :quarantine war lately waged on paper be tween these cities bids fair to come to some more serious. It is conceded that Hous SoW's quarantine against Galveston was based .. rather a flimsy pretext, but the means i4lveston is taking to remove the obstruc l.tns thus placed upon her intercourse.with the interior of Texas are more than question Oble. To attempt to raise even an unjust ne by force is a bad business. Gal would do well to move cautiously in er. She should remember that Hous better grounds to quarantine her had to quarantine New Orleans in s~tance. 8he has admitted to her 1 from an infected port against t, whereas New Orleans only at unqualiied quarantine LET US REASON TOGETHER Never before the present year has the sub Sect of quarantine, in this city, been discussed with so much violence and so little sense. Indeed, a question touching not only the vast commercial interests of New Orleans, but also the happiness and lives of nearly the whole population of the Southwest, has been han died in the most partisan, vicious and igno rant manner, and apparently with no other purpose save that of creating a sensatkio and exciting a popular clamor against the Board of Health. Unquestionably there are strong arguments and stubborn precedents against the efficacy of quarantine, as there are. others in support of it. In fact, the ques tion is an experimental one, and the most learned, thoughtful and practical physicans, sanitarians and scientists differ in their opin ions relative to it. It would seem that where learned and dis tinguished men differ on, and discuss with doubt, a question which they have investi gated from the highest scientific standpoints, others should hesitate to advance their own crude views with dogmatic force, or to assail with bitterness and denunciation a)I who do not accept their fantastic theories, conceived in ignorance and' unsupported by other ar gument than abuse. But unfortunately this has not been the case in this instance in this city. Certain journals have taken it upon themselves to hold that yellow tever is indigenous to New Orleans; that quarantine Is of no account; that the Board of Health is an unmtred evil. Laying down these propositions, these jour nals have set to work to abuse every body who maintain different opinions; they have appealed to the worst passions of the community, and thus raised a popular lamor against the Board of Health, and provoked in our own midst a fierce and unreasoning controversy, which has established no fact, principle or common sentiment, while it has worked most disastrously to our city, brought us into suspicion abroad, and made us a subject of ridicule and denunciation in every section of the country. We do not wish to be misunderstood. We respect the opinions of, and we have no word of condemnation to speak against that large and respectable body of citizens who are op posed to the policy of the Board of Health We entertain the same feelings toward the large and influential body of business men who have come forward in support of the Board of Health, and whose petition or ad dress on that line we print In this issue of the DEMOCRAT. These gentlemen, on both sides, have large interest at stake. Their names are familiar to us as leading, patriotic and wealthy citi zens. The views of both bodies are entitled to respect and it is fortunate that both have briefly stated their views and virtually taken the controversy out of the control of virulent and unprincipled sheets which have agitated this great issue from the stand point of their own personal grievances. We say that it is fortunate that the citizens who are opposed to the policy of the Board I of Health and those who support that policy have made a public statement of their views. We say this because we now clearly understand the real dif erence between us, and that difference seems to us, if moderate counsels prevail, not irreconcilable. "A rational quarantine" is what every body desires. We doubt if there is a single man of sense in New Orleans who de sires the abolition absolutely of quarantine The only question then to decide is: What constitutes a rational quarantine? Wise and patriotic men differ on this point, of course, as they do upon every other vital proposition. But surely their differences of opinion may be so narrowed as to bring the community to agree upon some system which will give us protection, and whloh will inspire ýiu inte.or t with confidence in our determination to pro- 8 tect, as far as lies in our power, the whole a coulltrt' ccz~tiguous to us. ti But this cannot be accomplished by virulent abuse; by denouncing the Board of Health as idiots and public robbers and all who sup port them as public enemies. But it can be done by conferences between representatives of the two bodies of citizens, who have ex pressed themselves on the subject,and between such representatives and the Board of Health. When the common object is the common good there can be no great difficulty in arriving at a ground of co-operation. It is high time that this great and, just now, all-important subject was being discussed in the spirit, and to the end we have suggested. Virulent defamers of honest men; vicious ex citers of the inflammable element of society; men who would rather defame an opponent than advance the common good, should now be sent to the rear in this discussion, and tem perate and sensible men who have'great in terests at stake and whose object is the real prosperity of the city should, as they have commenced to do, take up and determine the issue. As for our part, we have never affirmed or denied the competency of quarantine to ex clude yellow fever from our shores. But we have consistently held, from a business and commercial standpoint, that quarantine was an absolute necessity to the trade of New Or leans. The people of the interior of the South west, from which we draw nine-tenths of our trade, firmly believe in it. At least they de mand that it shall be fully tested, and we can not ignore the demand. Were the quarantine abolished or materially modified, we would, it is true, have during the summer and fall an open port; but we would have an open port at the expense of our interior connec tions, and those gates through which is poured the richest part of our summer and fall trade would be absolutely closed against us, and then, indeed, would the summer grass begin to grow in our thoroughfares. The DEMOCRAT favors a "rational quaran tine," and earnestly advises the opposing fac tions to agree upon such regulations as will put an end to further acrimony. EBSOP'S FROG DISCOUNTED. There was a ripple of amusement among the readers of the Times yesterday. The cause was the perusal of an article in that journal on "Independent Journalism Illus trated," in which, after speaking in the most eulogistic manner of those really meritorious and great independent newspapers, the New York TWorld, Times and Herald, the conso ciated editor complacently plumes himself upon the independence of the Times, and re marks: "It is the aim of the managers of the New Orleans Times to maintain an independ ent journal of this type." This, we submit, is the sublimest exhibition of "cheek" to which this community has ever been eatcd. It forcibly recalls, and is in deed more totesquely absurd than the am bit#,s - attbanpt of A8sop's frog to e''tsb4 · inaaYdF oPLPB One hardly knows which to laugh at the more, the folly of the frog in the fable, or the cheek and Impudence of the journalistic frog. Does the Times indulge in the delusion that the people of New Orleans have no memories? Does it fancy that they can forget where it o stood long before and on the very eve of the e Fourteenth of September? How it struggled with all its strength to discourage the grand movement and to keep the people under a r thraldom which had become unendurable? The barbed and envenomed arrows of its sar casms were aimed at our best and most gal a lant citizens, and its managers and editors were the close allies and firm friends of Kel e logg and his usurping government. The owner of the Time, then is the owner of the Times now; the men who slandered and villl lied our people then are the men who, with a monstrous and shameless affectation of sin cerity, claim to be their only true and reliable friends now. Can, then, the leopard change his spots? Can the men who but recently could fnd no words wherewith to express their scorn and contempt for the people of New Orleans or their admiration for ourdead Slost foes have so soon experienced a gonuine "change of heart?" Or is this extraordinary exhibition of ground-and-lofty tumbling one of the evi dences of that independence in journalism to which the Times has so recently become a convert, and for which, to suit its own AMachlavelian purposes, It is praising now with all a convert's zeal. It seems but yesterday that the Times after having taken a little summer cruise in the sea of independent journalism, suddenly (and so suddenly as to excite the uncharitable re marks and insinuations of not ordinarily su, pilcous people) put her helm hard-a-port, so to speak, and rounded gracefully into the har borof the regular Democratic party, where she blazed away, firing hot shot into the ras cally rebel crafts that were flying the inde pendent flag. She was a ship-of-the-Line in that campaign-the last campaign, and her disgraceful desertion to the Independent fleet at this time will not redound to her fame. To drop metaphor, the attempt of the Times to rank itself with the really independent journals of the country and to hoodwink the people here into the belief that it is not Inimi cal to their every interest, not their bitterest and most malignant foe, is so glaringly ab surd that it cannot deceive any thinking man. Instinctively every citizen of New Orleans must feel that the division of the Democratic party and the consequent success of Radical ism in this State is what the Times most ar dently desires and will endeavor to accom plish. THE DEATH OF A HERO. One of the saddest domestic tragedies it has ever been our sorrowful task to record is the announcement of the death of the heroic John B. Hood, following so quickly upon that of his loved consort, and occurring when his oldest child was pronounced In extreme danger from the same insiduous malady, so mysteriously introduced into his household. The General departed this life at 3:30 a. m. yesterday morning, August 30. When last seen in public it was as chief mourner for hil wife in the funeral ceremonies of Monday last, the twenty-fourth of August. Greatly prostrated by this heavy aflliction, he bore himself with characteristic fortitude and heroism on this melancholly occasion. The sympathy, so eloquently expressed, of his numerous friends was received by him with grateful appreciation, but with that dig nity and silence of a man whose bereavement had been too profound, too irreparable, to be alleviated, whose grief was too unutterblo to tAid relief through the ordinary vents of such emotions. He retired to hie family of little orphans, Lnd there sought and found in their childish lamentations a far larger source of consolation and support, of his noble endowments of endurance and forti tude, against calamity and suffering, than could be drawn from all the eloquence of svm.athizina friends. The exhaustion left by these drafts upon his great resources of courage and self-control, with his terrible mutilations by wounds re ceived in the wars in which he had been en gaged, made him an easy victim and con quest of the malady that seized him. And yet the disease, with characteristic deceitful ness, made Its' approaches, and not until yes terday was it pronounced an attack of yellow fever, and even then of a mild form. The first speciftic symptom of the disease was quickly relieved, and up to nightfall of Fri day it was confidently believed that its progress was favorable and promising. So much so, and indeed if it had not been so, the noble veteran was far more exercised about the condition of his oldest child, seized with lever at the same time, than he was concerned for his own chances of an early con valescence. Towards night, however, the unfavorable symptoms, which had been relieved during the day, were renewed, and were fol lowed by other even more distinctive traits, and after hours of suffering and fluctua tion between life and death, dependent upon the caprices of this mysterious malady for the issue of this conflict, and just before the break of day, at the very hour when the vete ran soldier had been accustomed to spring from his lair and hastily put on his armor to rush to the front of battle in the great wars in which he had been so conspicuously en gaged, the call was made by the Sovereign Commander and Ruler of all men to sur render his valuable life and enrol his own "among the immortal names that were not born to die." And thus, a little before 4 a. m. of August 28, departed John B. Hood, a hero, soldier and patriot of unblemished and lustrous record, of marvelous prowess, of the highest virtues of humanity, a citizen, a gentleman, a father and husband, a Christian without guile, flaw or even weakness to mar the beautiful harmony of a perfect character He was a native of Kentucky, and em bodied the highest moral and physical char acteristics of that race and blood. A stalwart form, a dauntless nature, a chevalier bearing, were the characteristics which he derived from his birth and his youthful training. So distinctly marked for a soldier, Hood in his youth secured an appointment to and passed with fidelity and success through the curriculum of our National Military Acad emy at West Point. This term of tuition art education embraced the plriod between July, 1849, and July, 1853. Graduating in the dis tinguished elais which included such re nowned military chiefs as McPherson, Scho field, Cragghill and Terrill, and Phil Sheri dan, so distinguished on the Union side of our great cival war, and of Bowen, Rich, Chambliss and others equally prominent on the Confederate side, Hood entered the army as ieftenant of the Fourth Infantry, In which tEIorEa tsor sev eue on pose a na fon tier duty. It was not until 1860 that he wai promoted to the cavalry service as a lie iten. ant in the Second Cavalry, of which Alberi Sidney Johnston was the colonel. Meantime, he had seen much active service on the Texas frontier, and was engaged Ir several trying conflicts with the Comanchce and Lipans. In one of those, at Devil's run, it West Texas, he gave signal proof of his cool. ness, courage and address, by the skill and for. t.P,ude with which he compassed with only tw ,Lt:-five tmen the capture of a largely su O.*I lor f ,rce of savages, who had severely wolniedt himself and several of his men. ltt we do not propose here to sketch the military career of John B. Hood. That task, we hope,, will be assumed by some more comrn petent writer with larger space and better op portunity to perform it satisfactorily than we can now command. When our civil war broke out, Hood re bigned his position in the old army and re paired to Richmond to offer his services to defend his native and loved South. lie was appointed a major of cavalry, and assigned to the command of an irregular squadron of mounted volunteers, whom he drilled and or ganized for service. But the command was too small, and the service too limited for his zeal, ambition and energy. He therefore vol unteered to aid in the organization and drill ing of numerous companies of Texans, which had rushed to Richmond to engage in the great struggle in which the South had be come involved. These companies were organized into a reg Iment, which wisely selected Hood as their Colonel. To him they owe the great distinc tlion won by this regiment in the great con flicts which followed. Even their valor and prowers, without his example, military skill and direction would never have secured them the large measure of fame accol ded to the brave Texans through the stirring scenes of the great drama enacted on the theatre of the Old Dominion. )r Beginning their career on the Peninsula, 3t at Ellham's Landing, by an effective and gallant dash on McClellan's advancing and I overwhelming army, which arrested and t checked the progress of the Federal comrn e mander, the heroic Texans and their lion i hearted chief performed a prominent part in t all the subsequent events of the several - campaigns in Virginia-their commander ' advancing by regular grades of service, s achievement and wounds from a Colonel to c Brigadier, to Major General, and Lieutenant General, but always clinging to his Texans as his chief reliance in all the operations of his brigade, division and corps. We cannot here, even superficially narrate the military career of Gen. Hood. He was al ways on hand for any service; the more des perate the more certain to be executed with S the highest displays of devotion and bravery. e In nearly all of the great battles it was his a ill-luck to receive serious wounds. At Gaines' SMill he was shot through the body. At Get t tysburg his left arm was so badly shattered as to subject him to the terrible and exhaust ing surgical operation of two resections of the bone, which ever afterward rendered that limb useless. This was in the beginning of July, 1863. He had not recovered from the effects of this wound and operation when, with Longstreets corps, his command was trans-; ferred from Virginia to reinforce Bragg at Chickamauga. Here, with his indomitable division, he confronted the enemy of largely superior force, with the same dauntless vigor and valor and disregard of danger and physi cal infirmity he had displayed in the Virginia campaigns, though crippled and exhausted by the loss of the blood with which he had drenched the soil of so many battlefields. With his shattered, still unhealed wounded and useless arm, buckled to his body, and With debilitated form and palid face, he as sumed his old position on the right of his old division, with that fire and enthusiasm that always marked his bearing on the eve of a great conflict, and which he never failed to communicate to all his followers. It was in this conflict that he received the terrible wound, which would have closed the active career of any other chieftain of whose military service history has given a record. The circumstances of this fearful wounding were related by the General and confirmed by his surgeon who amputated his leg, that re spected gentleman and eminent member of our faculty, Prof. T. G. Richardson, of this city. In the midst of the struggle of this great conflict of the two armies at Chica mauga Gen. Hood's division occupied the ex treme left of Bragg's army. Observing some confusion in that part of the line occupied by his old regiment, the Fourth Texas, Gen. Hood galloped in that direction and called loudly to the officers and men to rally to their colors, which were held under a crashing fire by a gallant young Texan in the position as signed to him, As soon as the General was recognized by his old followers-his "people," as he always called them-they rushed to the front and aligned themselves on their colors and dressed with all the precision and regu larity of veteran regulars. "Give me the colors," the General asked of the staunch young color bearer, stretching forth his right arm to grasp the staff, and seizing his bridle with his teeth. The gallant young color bearer shook his head and said: "General, these colors have been intrusted to me with orders never to yield them to any body as long as I have life in my body. I will bear them wherever you order me, but I can not surrender them to any one." At the very moment of this colloquy the General received the wound which fractured his right thigh. A minnie ball had penetrated the flesh' and on coming in contact with the bone exploded, creating a frightful wound. With the wounded leg dangling helplessly, and only held together by the remnant of flesh which had not been severed by the ex plosive, holding the bridle between his teeth and resting his right arm on the pummel of his saddle, he gently slided to the ground, where he was quickly surrounded by some of his veteran Texans, who procured a stretcher and bore him to the rear. Amid all the agony of his painful wound the heroic chieftain could not forbear an exultant shout when informed that his "people" had swept the enemy from the field. On the examination of his wound the sur geons decided that, owing to the exhaustion produced by his still unhealed fracture, and the terrible drain of the two operations of re section to which he had been recently sub jected, that amputation would involve cer tamn death. "But is there not a single chance for me, say one in a thousand?" he asked of Dr. Rich ardson. The doctor replied that there was. 'Then cut it off; I'll take that chance-I must fight this war through." The Doetor, before administering the chlo- , reform, aske4 l he had any oommumcations or dispositions to make, in view of the immi nent peril of death, under the operation. "Nothing, except that my remains should be buried in the soil of Texas, where m3 3 strongest affections and most glorious asso ciations are centred." He survived the operation, and indeed re covered so rapidly from its effects that he ap peared in the saddle and at the head of his in vincible division before the expiration of an ordinary furlough. Though thus fearful3l mutilated, deprived of the use of two of hii limbs-his left arm and right leg-he was never absent from his post of duty, but fought through the whole campaign of John stons retreat from Dalton to Atlanta, taking part in every action. Assigned by Presldeni Davis to command the movement of the remnant of Johnston's army against the ene my's rear, he undertook, and with wonderful energy, marched his army into Tennessee and struck the entrenched forces of Gen. Thomas, at Franklin and Nashville, with des perate, dauntless, but unavailing vigor. This strategy and movement, which were adopted and ordered by the Confederate au thorities, have been and are now the subjects of criticism and discuslion. Gen. Hood had written an elaborate history and defense of this campaign, and was preparing to take it to the North for publication when the Illness of his wife arrested his purpose. His friends, however, will take care that this cherished design is carried out. The whole world will accept it as an honest and truthful narrative, and a more reliable history than has yet ap peared of this desperate enterprise. When the war closed Gen. Hood retired to Texas, the scene of his earliest exploits, which he determined to make the the theatre of his energetic efforts and labors in civil pursuits. Engaging in the life insurance business, he prosecuted it with such activity, tact and popularity of manner and address as to re alize very handsome results for the company of which he was the agent, and in the way of commissions to secure quite a competency for himself. In 1868 he married Miss Anna Marie Hennen, one of the most accomplished and elegant ladles in this State, whose lamented decease and beautiful character are Imper fectly sketched in the DI)EOCRIAT of Tuesday last. Ten children born of this happy marriage survive their parents, forming a group of little orphans, whose care and guardianship should devolve as one of the most sacred duties of popular gratitude and patriotism upon the State, with whose glory and honor the name of John B. Hood must be indissolubly associated as the heroic chief tain of that famous division which he led through our great civil war with such re nown, and as the youthful defender of her people against the savages who raided her borders in the infancy of her settlement. Upon the great State of Texas should fall the honor of the charge, care and education of the orphans of the heroic chieftain, who achieved and suffered so much to shed lustre on her character, her arms, and the patriotic devotion of her people. Now is the time for agricultural shows and political bids for the Presidency. The St. Louis Republican, which has a full list of all the county and district fairs in the country, find that there are in thirty-three States alone no less than six hundred of these shows. Here is more than room enough for all the candidates for the Presidency to air their views on the "situation and the remedy."
