Cstan they drove down with the Governor iooSeI ~
The BAY. and said il wssa fine place, and then they
drove of again. AL the hue and cry for the remova
of Quarantine came from Staten Island property
kodere at S.apletop, Tompkinsville, and that way,
who hoped to FELL their lots at thousand per cent al
vance as soon as they had succeeded IN removing
Quarantine.
Dr.. RocKwELL--Does me old Quarantine cease to
be, when you take this
Mr.. CARRIeAS-No. Sir.
Mr.. GARRIGUE-I heard this place complimented,
ths other dsy, by Commissioner of Emigration.
He ss he thought that it the best place to spend
$4,000 on Of any place he knew. think it is
place where great deal more might be spent without
making it suitable for the purpose intended. This
spending has TO be done from the emgrant fund. II
Il proper to state that this fund is not supplied by the
State nor by any county city in the State but by
the smigrants themselves The Commissioners of
Emigration must well consider bow they spend their
money. From what have seen, should jadge that
% fit this place up properly and keep 1t 10 operation,
Woud cost ten times $50 0C0. This is not the place
for such an expenditure. Having obtained tempo
rsry Quarantine, the Commissioners should now look
cut for permanent one. We should stay where we
are until we can remove TO Sandy Hook or some
equally eligible place.
Dr.. ROCKWELL wished to inquire if thes, hospitals
were designed for receiving the whole OF tho patients
OF Quarantine
DR.. THOMPSON said no, only for yellow fever cases.
Dr.. WBlTIsG-Toen its a very good Quarantine for
yellow fever, permanent or temporary.
Dr.. ROCKWELL said it certainly would NOT do for
Amsllpox patients, for within the past week L. 100
patients had been landed at the old Quarantine, hav
ing been exposed to the infection, and such numbs.
would be mere than the fence let alone the buildings
OF Seguihe's Point could contain.
! Capt. G. II. MARSHALL offered the folio wing:
Rssoired, That deem Quarantine at Sesuines
Poin. entirely unfit and inadequate to the requirements Of
commerce and Quarantine purposes even temporary To-
Mr. PHILLIPS hoped that that resolution would not
be adopted He thought ought to be laid over until
the Quarantine Commissioners could be present.
DIR. WHIrIEc regarded the resolution quite too
.weepipg ard he thought it would be more gener-
Gus course to hear the Commissioners in thsir own
behalf before adopting it
DIR. MILLER thought the resolution should be re-
ferred to Committee for advisement before it was
adopted.
Mr.. JAS. b. SWAIN took a similar view. He said
that this visit had been made without the knowledge
or consent of the Commissioner; and further he be-
reyed that the meeting laborog under the m'a9-
prebension that this intended for permanent In
etesS of temporary Quarantine, and hoped that the
resolution would be laid upon the table.
The resolution, after some further discussion, was
adopted, to 3, the Commissioners Of Emigration de-
clining to vote.
The meeting then adjourned.
I. is understood that the Commissioners OF Emigra
ton viii take no action upon the proposition to take
possession of the New Quarantine until AFTER their
meeting on Wednesday.
The excursion yesterday was pleasant affair." and
the material part Of the entertainment very agreeable
in spite Of the wet weather.
