THE GOYE&NO&'J MslGSlfWtfM tip V.1 VMce has! tendered his , resigna- effect next Wednesday, the5th of Feb ruary. This&bif&ihcMn advance of the beginning b the governors .term of senatorial rvjeeand Jhaiairally he will hav enoiigh 'pjness'frf'fe Private character to engage him during this period, leaving him little time for ac tual recuperation from the cares of State. " t In retiring from the executive chair his excellency carries . with him the same exeat dezree of confidence in the public mind which was felt toward him when he assumed its duties two years ago. He has lost, during his term, little or none of the great popularity upon which he was lifted, two and a half years ago, into the gubernatorial office, when it would have been well-nigh if not altogether impossible for any other Democratic candidate to have' been elected. He has executed, faithfully and conscientiously, the trusts confided to him bv the people at that time, and now upon his retirement he carries with him to the yet higher station to which he has been assigned, a fuller share than falls to most men of the confidence and good will of all classes of people. A week hence CapL Thos. J. Jarvis will be inaugurated as governor of the State. In him the people will find a wise, prudent and conscientious execu tive. Few men of the State possess his capacity for governing people or direct ing the affairs of State. He has, ever since the war, labored steadily, faithful ly and effectively for the up-building of the Democratic party, and it is a matter of pleasure that the party now finds it self in position to repay him in a meas ure for the great amount of se rvice which he has in the past rendered it. In his hands we have a right to expect a wise and just, enforcement of the laws,' and from him it is reasonable to expfet every effort in furtherance of the well-being of the people and the prosperity of the State... . ... . , , , REVISION OF THE UWS., v It occurs to us that codification of the laws would be a move in the right direction, according to the manner pro posed by the bill introduced in the General Assembly and had under con sideration in the House Tuesday, if they could be allowed to remain codified, but the truth about the business is that the coae commission; it organized, now, had just as well be made perpetual, and instructed to sit immediately after the adjournment of each Legislature and prepare a new revisaL Each Legisla ture that sits in Raleigh tears ' the sta tute laws of the State all to pieces. Battle's Revisal is a'by-word and a re proach. The very first General Assem bly that met after it was issued knocked the bottom out of it and nobody now thinks of depending upon it.

Report of the Board Appointed to In- vestigate Its Causes and the Cure Outline of the Findings and Recommendations. Washington, Jan. 80. The board of experts authorized by Congress to inves tigate the yellow fever epidemic, have submitted their report. The board are unanimous in the opinion that the in vestigation should be completed and that study the of the natural historyjof yellow fever should be systematically pursued, and especially that the inquiries should embrace the perpetually infected ports of the West Indies, whose fields give the greatest promise of practical re sults. It is accordingly recommended that two or three experts.be charged with the completion of the study of the late epidemic, and that at least two proceed to the West Indies and make a more thorough study of the fever .than has yet been undertaken, and that they be accompanied by an experienced mi croscopist, and Congress take steps to secure the co-operation of the Spanish and other foreign governments through international commission or otherwise, to ascertain the causes which perpetu ate the yellow fever from year to: year in the West Indies, and devise means to remove the causes or lessen the chances of transporting the poison to the United States and other countries. The board presents the outlines of a system of quarantine which they say mav afford the greatest attainable de gree of protection against the introduc tion and spread of infectious epidemic diseases, and at the same time inflict only minimum oi injury anu inconveni ence upon commerce, two classes or medical officers are suggested: First, medical officers of health, to serve in foreign ports from which we receive importations of yellow lever and chol era ; secondly, medical officers of health to have charge or quarantine stations and supervise inter-State travel and traffic from infected places in times of epidemic. These two classes are con sidered indlspensible to any method of quarantine which does not involve a complete suspension of intercourse with the infected ports. The board regards it especially important that the selec tion DfiJuiade frommen skilled in medi cine and sanitary sciences. One of the Qitncuities which confronted the board is the lack bf definite knbwledge re specting the duration of the life or the virulence of tne poison of yellow lever and. cholera. It is known that the poi son of neither is susceptible of long vi tality when exposed to open air; but it has not yet been determined how long its infectious properties may be pre served in closely shut chambers or in compartments of vessels, or when con fined in the folds of clothing or goods. Another difficulty arises from the im perfect state of scientific knowlege re specting disinfection as applied to the destruction of the poison of yellow fe ver. It is deemed of great importance that means be provided by Congress for ob taining trustworthy information by telegraph in respect to the outbreak and progress of cholera arid yellow fe ver and other epidemic diseases in all ports of the world, and the departure of vessels from infected ports bound for ports in the United States.; The diffusion of trustworthy information among the people- respecting the exist ence and progress of preventable, dis eases at home and abroad, should be encouraged as tending to avert the evils of panic and promote measures of prevention. The carrying into effect of .an efficient system of quarantine con templates a central authority or-health department It is considered import ant that such department be so organ ized as to gain strength from, and give strength to.
