pose, which was 10 remove the Quarantine; Tor ne
purpose of having excuse for making nm onslaught
ppou the premises. Such apology had been
sough, for years even before his administration II
was in keeping with other equally nnfounded charS"s
ro,ten up by the parties. When they considered
that the parties vino made these charges actually en-
tered the Hospital aud aided IN carrying oul yellow
Srver patients they could not but see 'hat the hod

These various charges had been freely disseminated
IN the papers 10 his injury, and generally came
through parties living near Quarantine, and Interested
Ia its removal. They were cr pdrie sta''inehl- hh
he surprised at ther being received WITH credrhe
"a
pres had inquired of him a. 10 Their rrth. lie was
prepared with proof of all his assertions and wnen the
present threatening quarantine season should have
passed be would be prepared to answer fully all the'"
attack. >.
The Mayor said he understood the paper- had M
suired why the police had not been sent down esief'
A. he heard OF the fire on IhuIsIny hi'hng'
be telegraphed to Police Commissioner N!e anu "''
Tallmadg. and made arrangements 10 procure arms.
He cot no answer 10 his teegrapinc messages ana
scnt officer 20 them repeatedly urgns thei 20 sehd
down the police. Finally he saw Mr' ihp'ist ~ ''
Commissioner Of Emigration, who told himthat Gen.
Nve pronised 10 send down large iorce nj once.
Toward evening he found the police had not been sent
down and at the Municipal dinner he inquired OF Mr..
Tallmadge about IT, who told him he had received no
reousitjon vet he had sent down few detectives.
He did not believe that there would be any more
trouble for his part, he thought the excitement had
BEEN much exaggerated.
The Mayor told him he would make the requisition
h.n but aiterwnrd Collector Schel came IN and told
him he had sent down 100 marines. and lie naturally
supposed that they would be sufficient projection
He had power under the police laws 10 order out
the police or he would have gent force down there
at two hours notice. He had done all in his power in
the premises. As 10 the charges Of extoTtiOn, the
Mayor wanted IL understood that those who had
burned the buldngshad not suffered from that source
The secret OF the whole outrage in his opinion,
thc desire Of certain realesate owners 10 get rid of
Quarantine, in order to increase the value OF Their
property. Ii he had his way instead OF removing
Quarantine, he would take thirty more Of land
put up fre-proof buildings, and keep troops there to
protect them.
Mr. Chns IT, Haswen said-Whcn the subject of
the tariff of ighterage before this BoardI gave the
sntiect my consideration and in view Of the peculiar
requirements and TEXTURES of the matter | gave my
consent TO the resolution then before the Board az
conceived il nv duty Ia give the protection of the
health Of the city large preference 10 the pecunary
interests of any one class My position a. a Health
Commissioner is one of great responsibility, and
mean 10 discharge the duties thereof with view to
the public health at the expense of any charge but
fhnt of a neglec; of proper sanitary provisions
Dr. Miller said that he was opposed to the Board
entering into any defense of their action In the mat
er Of defending themselves he believed that SO far a.
Me public OF the City of New-York is con- |
eerned he satisfied that their acts would commend
and defend Themselves. There was only one feeling in
regard their transactions and that was that they
Aaa done their duty all classes and 1t would be
noted that these charges Of exorion came from the
~ aten Islanders only.
The motion Of Mr.. Rockwell, toadopt The ren' inen's
Of the report, was carried
The Mayor said he met with the Commissioners of
Emigration aud Gov. King the day previous, when
VENTS were ordered down 10 Quarantine. These were
.oe accommodation but shanties ought TO be- put up
temporarily.

s<k boards and oss for shantes be sent down To he
put up, under the direction Of the Commissioner OF
Repairs and Supplies. The motion prevailed.
Or. Miller sad he was surprised on Thursday night
D. fud that police had been sent down, and to hear
Mr. Tallmadge say he had sent down lew detectives
sny and there was no occasion for alarm. Hethought
the marines not wholly bameess in the natterof
The burning.
The Mayor said they had clearly failed in their duty.

antine.
