the two horns of the dilemma he is left but little choice
Now the law is very explicit upon this natter it is OBJ
,iousy the duty OF the captain owners OF he snip 10
ascertain who and who is not able TO pay for the care
attention and food provided for their passengers during
this needu period OF quarantine and to see that the Com
sioners are duly repaid for their outlay The sum per
head tring-ony - cents per day for plenty OF good
bread soup meat and vegetables, together with clean
straw and blankets at highland yet the unprinciped
soop to eyade the payment of what is obviously Just
debt 1t behooves the proper authorities to decide this
question of liability without delay, the Commissioners be-
ing liable only for the care OF the sick
We learn that the Commissioners sent deputaton -
Collector Redfed setting forth their great need OF the va
cant storehouse and he has since permitted the use OF "
rs heretofore for depot for the healthy immigrants but
the Commissioners only hold it upon sueranoe, anu
should without delay place themselves beyond the posi-
bi,y OF recurrence Of such consequenccsas resulted
from the former removal of this dep6-by erecting some
temporary buildings for the accommodation OF the vast
numbers of immigrants who liable to be thrown upon
their care during the present year.
1t is difficult to predicate the condition OF the Immigrants
who will in all probability arrive during the present sum
mer and fall but from the early reappearanoe OF the eho
era we may look forward to season of sl greater
ty than that OF last year The which have already oc
cured doubtless taken by themm grants
Themselves in the Baggage which they brought from the
infected localities where they had resided No cholera has
vet shown itself in Liverpool and in most cases IT appears
that the disease breaks out on pbOard some ten or twelve
days after the vessels leave port The hypothesis that the
disease is communicated in certain latitude 10 the snip
from the atmosphere is controycrted by the fact that
many ships pass the spot ut about the same tEne
without being infected ALL Ii is considered by those
who have give the subject the consideration and nYes-
CATION OF many cars that the poisonous atmosphere OIL inc
place whence the immigrant originally came is brought
along with him in the trunks which contain his stores and
wearing apparel which, being confined rendered stii
more malignant The seasckness and circumstances at
tending on boerd ship predspose the immigrant TO CON
agon and opening his baggage the poison contained
therein takes effect upon his SYSTEM and so one case is la
BE to infect whole ship.
