QvARANTINE RsGULArIoNs.-Ws have received
a communication signed Jastice,' which prstends
to give true statement Of the Lafayette pilos
case. What we have already published respecting
her we had from pretty good authority, but Justice
may give truenverson Of the affair He says that
when the Lafayette arrived from havana she was
instantly quaranAined but permitted, application
Of the captain to DR.. Rockwell to craise and supply
vessels with pilots because her had lost
ney in their trip to Havana-thcy had lost money,
| and in consequence of that allowed to spread
the yellow fever. This certainly displayed good
feeling the part of Dr. Rockwell He permitted
her to board vessels at sea, condition that any
of the crew felt in she degree i'll, to put
| back imme diatey to Staten Island Now the Doctor
acted very precautionary in this, and he undoubtedly
intended 10 preserve the health of those vessels
boarded by the Lafayette. Bat it appears from
Justices' own statement, that previous to putting
Mr.. Lockmaa boara the Chrstoval Colon enc Of
the pilot boys sickened, and the Lafayette com
PEELED to put back to Staten Island. In doing so,
the captain followed out his Instructions but should
not again have been permitted to cruise-certainly
not till she had lain some time at Quarantine, and
had undergone thorough fnmigation. The boy was
taken to the hospital where he after died with
the yellow fever Notwithstanding this palpable
case the Lafayette again wentto cruise off the Hook
and it was ON this cruise that the Christoval Colon
was spoken, and Mr.. Lockman put board-the
particulars Of whose death we have already given.
There is another statement in the communication
| which we will give in justice to DR.. Rockwell. II
is that Captain Smith and Mr.. Lockman had both
reached the city before the health officer detected
that the ship had been nine days, instead of fifteen
from Havana. But this is excuse for permitting
Mr. Lockman to come to the city. He should not
have been allowed to leave Staten Island soon az
ter the death Of his shipmate But enough Of the La
fayette affair.
| In our remarks respecting the abuse Of the Qua
rantne laws, not Influenced by any political
bias, for we know not and care not to which party
Dr. Rockwell belongs, and il he is attached to Ell
Their, il would make no sort Of difference with
In important station like that which DR. Rockwell
occupies, the strietest impariality should govern
his acts. During the summer there is situation
so laborous and no situation which is so profitable
a that Of health officer TO the port Of New York
Now have repeatedly heard instances Of the
grossest inconsistency, and such should not mark
the course Of any We will state one.
The bark Rapid Capt. Ward, arrived here the mid
die Of July from Havana and was ten days the pas
sage She had one sick when she came into port,
and in consequence sfthis the captain and passengers
were quarantned fifteen days after arrival. About
week after the ship Commerce, Captain julius, Of
Philadelphia, arriv ed, also from Havana, with foa-
men sick, and tho captains had died with the
fever just previous to her leaving Cuba; but never
theless Captain Julius and his pilot permitted
to visit the city in fifteen days from the time the
Commerce left Havana, and thss having ten days the
advantage Of Captain Ward.
When the fifteen days were nearly up with Capt.
Julius, he went to the Doctor and inquired how he
should calculate his time. Dr. Rockwell answered in
any way " Shall 60 up in fifteen days from weigh
ing anchor or from leaving the shore Of Havanai"
asked Caption ]. Calculate any way you please,
only don't bother me-" answered the Doctor. New
this very pleasing to Captain julius but not so
to Captain Ward.
The pilot Of the Commerce after landing in
this city taken seriously i'll, and one time he
was dangerously sick. We hope DR.. Rockwell can
explain away this Inconsistency. We have dozen
cases like the above, and each full gross and
palpable.
