to do something shortly.
THE QUARANTINE ExCrTEMENT-The immense
assembage of the citizens of Richmond county,
comprising many Of our most enterprising COM
mereial men, which took place at Richmond.
Staten Hand, on Monday, was one Of the most
remarkable popular protests against the imbecile
tyranny Of government officials and the plum
dering O political jobbers that has ever been
witnessed. The expression of public opinion
was of tie most unanimous character, and the
rights o. the citizens were triumphantly vindi-
Gated. II was shown that the location Of the
| Quarantine establishment there was strenuously
opposel by the inhabitants at the time, and that
it was Effected by one of those acts of official ty-
ranny which are a perpetual violation of all
individual rights, and which become more op-
pressi,e as population increases 1t was proved
-evei by the testimony Of the Quarantine Of
fcisls-that it was not only an inadequate, but
an unit location for lazaretto and the charges
of inhlmanity, on the part Of those who abated
the Nuisance, toward the sick in the hospitals,
were completely disproved.
Yet in the face of all these facts and confes-
sions, the Commissioners of Emigration are de-
termhed to expend the funds Of the State in re-
building the establishment on a location which
the Health Officers confess to be unfit, which the
entirs people condemn, and which they them
selves well know will have to be removed at an
early day. Official stupidity and the tyranny Of
political spoils-mongers could go no farther.
The question Of the Quarantine will be settled by
tie Legislature next winter, and as the fever sea-
son is 30 near a close IL would be wiser and
more prudent on the part of the Commissioners
to delay their fat jobs for rebuilding for while.
While on this subject we will state that the
letter Of Mayor Tiemann, cndcavoring, in behalf
Of the Health Officer. to explain away the facts
brought out by the HERALD in relation to the
charges for lightcrage, stevedores, &C., at the
Quarantine, is only partial, and does not meet
the point. We fear that the Mayor, with good
intentions, is hoodwinked in this matter, and the
public want DR.. Thompsons explanations. not
those Of any third party, who may be deceived.
