Several verbal amendments were made to the sub.
stitute, when Mr.. CONKLING took the hoor and
spoke at length against 1t. He believed that the no

yet more than mile from any inhaoltaoe region.

TO lobby pressure such as no person less immovsbS
than an angel could withstand He argued that thu
mode proposed for the disposition OF the present Quar-
antne property by the original bill was far lees liable
to abuse than that proposed by the substitute. The
vital difference between the two bills was in the mode
the Governor discretionary power rather than TO lay
down to him arbitrary rule. He defended the Gov.
ernor from the insnuaton that he could be subjected
to any lobby Influence, with his business tact souA
sense, and strict Integrity.

but did not think too much discretion should be gwen

ton Of the Quarantine on Coney Island in the very
center Of civilization, whence infection could msrca
directly 10 Brooklyn and New-York or on the barren
Island which could never be approached by vessels,
and which received the whole sweep of the ocean
Winds. The substitute limits tie expenditure TO hall
million, while the original bill Is unlimited. Under Ae
original bill the Commissioners may begin building On
the island with the knowledge that its completoo
will cost millions. Some limit should DO nAas
IL seemed singular TO him, that no mention hsd oee
made of Sandy Hook, which the Governor pa re g-
commended. Could this be the Governors bill no
