While on this subject we beg, however 20 cal yosr
attention ~ the fact that the entire business Of sv.
dorrg hghterirg and warehousing, is one with wAeh
she State has properly nothing % do. II wsrehpssss
for dutabe goods are wanted nj the Quarantine IT,
tion the buiDess Of the United States gcyernnsrt
10 provide them the State has neither authority nor
Necessity for building them.
The only argument hitherto in favor OF their
erection by the state IL, that the men employed IN
hghterng .evedoring, &c, and the goods removed
by them should remain subject the sanitary rexnla.
tions Of the state, TIL adudg-d n. to be allowed
tact with the community generally. II this b. tras,
there is nothing TO prevent private pares engaged
this work from complying with all such necesssry rsa
a,ions 20 preserve the public health the Legislature
may direct But is it true l. il 10 believed that
cargo on lighter and the men handling and in charvs
OF T. less dangerous to the public health thAn ~
TIER portion of the set OF men who hendc4 esea
cargo and remained at Quarantine instead ct ssesn-
parving the lighter and Nntents 70 city dock Sssely
not this is distinction without difference, s1cpe
the difference between being enabled or not enabled
gull the unsuspectDg public.
The whole project u engaging the state or N sny
msrner making the state its officers responsbs To-
Hghterng, stevedorng warehousing, Is part Ud
parcel OF system Of taxation and burden upon con
which has been growing steadily for y-ar, u
il has come to assume Its present monstrous and e.
gantic proportions.
A ship enters Sandy Hook; she Is frst BOARDED and
taxed by licensed pilot, next stopped and taxed BY
licensed physician. next hailed BY licensed steAmug
Quarantine hceRsel 10 tow her, next BOARDED BY
licensed warden, next seized upon by licensed funi'
gator, then taken possession OF by licensed s.evedcs
her cargo then handed to licensed hghtermes,
again subject to inToad Of fumig ators, and then
towed to New York by licensed Quarantine tug aaa
guarded from pirates on her dangerous way by ensd
policemen from Castle Garden. Here che falls iat0
the hands of q licensed Harbunnaster, aud 6ssy u
unhappy owner Is glad 10 shake "a this swarm u
officials at the cost II his entire freight bill and cha
more. And all this in the Of the State, and care
Of the pubic health. This is fancy sketch; y ot
witnessed. Should il be so Does the puhn neces-
siiy require it : Was il 50 in times past Mo- hn

business OF the Port Of NewYork for the benent q

There il another abuse connected with the QuArsn.

This is q new feature. Such thing az imported eY-

call for the early action Of tine Legislature and ~ TAR
10 prove the soundness Of the position take in OPP
position to the cumbrous and unnecessary naehpefy
which now constitutes the Quarantine regulations t"r
the Port Of New-York.
Mr.. Bovine, then addressing hiinsen more pnHF-
usry to the Governor urged him, IN the rane .. ru
dence and humanity, TO weigh well tbs proPo~'u"o
