Jumping Quarantine.

We understand that certain parties have
been evading New York quarantine, and that
men sick with fever were surreptitousy
brought into this city by the way of Perth
Amboy two or three days ago from the bark d.
Chaplin. 1t appears that this vessel was from
Aspinwall, via Cienfuegos and Yaza, Cuba,
that she lay two or three days off Sandy Hook,
aud then proceeded to that convenient little
port Of New Jersey for jumping quarantine,
Perth Amboy, and that DR.. Carnochan, hear
ing sickness was on board and some of the
crew who were i'll with fever having landed
had gone to New York, he took measures to
ascertain the facts Three men had gone to
boarding house in Cherry street and one man
to Carlisle street. DR.. Carnochan Immediately
telegrapbed to the eoard of Health, and DR..
Morris, the city Sanitary Inspector, acting
promptly, found the two men sick with
fever and had them removed to the
West Bank Hospital. Only a day or two
before the brig Victoria, which arrived on the
9th from the same port Of Cienluegos, left one
of the crew with yellow fever in the hospital
The captain and six others were sick on the
passage with the same disease. and one died

cate or agents TO dispose Of This is narrow
ing the amount down very much compared
with the whole debt intended originally to be
refunded. We are told that the syndicate of
bankers here have subscribed for ten millions
of the fifty millions reserved for the national
banks.
Whether this means that they have actually
purchased the bonds, or that they only take
them as agents to dispose of, and for which
they are to receive commission, we cannot
say. Then there appears 10 be some ambi-
guilty about the eighty millions allotted to the
European markets to be disposed of by that
other syndicate of large houses in England
and on the Continent and about the fifteen
millions said to have been already subscribed
for by this transatlantic syndicate. Have
they actually purchased fifteen millions? Or
do they hold this amount to sell on
commission, as well as the balance
of the eighty millions? Let lis know
the facts before we throw up our hats and
hurrah for the financial success of Mr.. Bout
well and the administration. Is this syndicate

out Of manipulating the debt over again, or
bona tide sale of portion Of the new loan9
These bankers at home and abroad may be
able to do what the Treasury Department
could not, and, if so, we wish them success.
We shall be glad to see any portion Of the
debt placed at lower interest if the cost Of
commissions and other things do not make the
change Improbable to the country. But let
us have no clap-trap or exaggerated state
ments--no mountebank advertisements. The
public credit of this great and rich country
ought to stand first in the world. There is no
necessity for any flourish or deception. Will
the Treasury Department let us know if the
so-called syndicates at home and abroad are
actual purchasers of any portion of the new
loan, or if they are only agents, and also what
it is going to cost for placing the balance of
this loan which is not withdrawn from the
market!

with it. 1t will be seen, therefore, what peril
this city is placed in by those who Gu
deavor surreptitously to evade quarantine,
and how much the public owe to the vigilance
of the Health Officer. If yellow fever or
cholera were to get into New York it might be
fearfuly destructive to life and do incalculable
damage to business. Let us hope the captains
of vessels consignees and shipping merchants
will take warning and not attempt hereafter to
evade quarantine and thus endanger the city.
Above all, let the Health Officer and the Board
of Health continue to do their duty, no matter
whom they may offend, and they will receive
the commentator of every good citizen.

The Sermons Yesterday.

With the exception of the ''man of God"
the venerable and oracular Bishop Snow,
who Illuminated against the HERALD and the
HERALD reporters with great earnestness and
effect, the abstracts of yesterdays discourses
are somewhat dull reading. No doubt they
are solid and instructive, but they are either
little too hackneyed or little too profound to
merit any very particular notice.
AS to Bishop Snow, we have only to say
that we cheerfnlly listen to criticism upon our
selves, and that we even invite it from all
proper quarters. Whether the Bishop is
proper quarter" may, perhaps, be questioned.
At any rate, we think he might have found
more digni6ed means in which to utter his
indignation than the verbal garbage of the
lowest slum in the Five Points. The Bishop
does not, however, apparently believe in the
immortality Of the SOUL and what can be
expected from a creature who delights to
regard himself as lone Of the beasts that
perish 2"
The Rev. Mr.. Larkin, a stranger" preached
at DR.. Foss' church, DR.. Foss himself having
wandered away to the Sing Sing camp meet
ing. The discourse was, perhaps, trlfe too
elaborate and argumentative, but, as a whole,
it was an admirable explanation of the need of
Saviour and the general scheme of redemp-
ton. At ''the little church around the corner"
DR.. Houghton discussed the character of ''re-
joicing in heaven" This is one of those de-
lightful, though perhaps fancifnl topics, in
IL IF
agreeable, and at the same time profitable, re-
creation. While we abide in this vale of tears
and sin it is indeed sweet thing to dwell in
fancy upon the glores and the joys of the city
of our hopes. We can easily understand that
DR.. Houghton-whose great-hearted charity
upon a certain memorable occasion earned
him the gratitude of the American peo-
ple-places first among those delights the
knowledge that some poor sinner had been
caught like ''brand from the burning"
DR.. Curry preached on sanctifcation as
development of Christian manhood. He
holds that it is not necessary in order to be
pure and holy as man can be on earth to
separate oneself from the world and lead an
ascetic life. On the contrary, we should be
in the world, though not Of it, and should
ennoble and purify the things of earth by
using them in a Christian way. Dr. Curry
urged, however, repeatedly upon his hearers
the caution it was necessary to use in their
daily life. The snares of the evil one are
ever spread before our feet and our life is
one long continued conflict with temptation
There we're also some curious services at
Neptune Hall, Grand street, by the Second
Adventists Mistaken as we deem the views
of these heterodox enthusiasts, we cannot
forbear admirng the apparent earnestness of
their longing for full and perfect communion
with God. To them the world seems indeed
but an empty show; the real life lies beyond
and above it. We wonder at and applaud
the greatness of their faith, even though
we doubt whether it have any stable founda-
tons. If they err they err in no ignoble
manner

The Wesineld Disaster and the Inspectors
Report.


In some respects the report of the United
States inspectors who investigated the causes
of the boiler explosion on the Westfeld fell
short of what the public had right to expect
II is asserted that the accident was the result
of defective boiler in the hands Of an incon-t
petent engineer, but it must not be forgotten
that both the boiler and the engineer had been
examined by Inspector Matthews and that the
soundness of each was certified to by that
officer. The fitness of Robinson ought not to-
have been question in this case. and we can
not acauit the officer who gave him certltt-i
cate; neither can we overlook the fact that
President Vanderbilt is in every way as culpa-,
BILE for his being employed by the company as
Superintendent Braisted. IL the president Oh
a ferry company is not to he held responsible
for disasters like this the office of superinten-
dent will become thankless one, supsrinten-
dents being merely the creatures Of great cor
poratons. 1t was great mistake to omit the
name of Mr. Vanderbilt from the report and
TO charge the entire responsibility upon his
subordinates Neither can we entirely acquit
Mr.. Mathews from any share in the RESPONSE
bility II is the business of government in
spectors to know that boiler is good one,
before certifying to its soundness. If the
hydrostatc test is not sufficient to ascertain
whether there are any flaws in it some other
test must be found which will prove more
satisfactory. Steam boilers must be rendered.
absolutely safe or accidents and explosions
may be as frequent in the future as they have
been in the last month, and the public will not
be satisfied with ANYTHING short OF absolute
safety.

The Alabama Claims-The Geneva Arbitra-
ton Tribunal.


This board as it now stands, is as fol-
lows Charles Francis Adams, the arbitra-
tor appointed by President Grant; Chief
Justice CockburR, the arbitrator appointed
by Queen Victoria; General Menabrea, dis
tinguished soldier and statesman. of liberal
ideas, the arbitrator chosen by King Victor
Emmanuel, and jacques Staemp1i, an ex-
President of the Swiss Confederation and an
able advocate, named by the government of
Switzerland The Treaty of Washington pro-
vdes, further, that the Emperor of Brazil
shall also name an arbitrator, and no doubt we
arbtrators is complete.
The treaty (artcle H. next provides that
'the arbitrators shall meet at Geneva, in
Switzerland, at the earliest convenient day
after they shall have been named and shall
proceed impartially and carefully to examine
and decide all questions that shall be laid
before them on the part of the government of
the United States and Her Britannia Majesty
respectively" and that ''all questions con-
sdered by the tribunal including the final
award, shall be decided by majority of all
the arbitrators )" and that each of the high
contracting parties shall also name one person
TO attend the tribunal as its agent to represent
it generally in all matters connected with the
arbitration" Counsel before the tribunal on
both sides is also authorized, and while
General Grant has intmated that Mr.. Adams
shall be fortified by some of the best lawyers
in the country, We may be sure that England
will not neglect to give the best legal assist
ants of the realm to Chief Justice Cockburn.
Thus the arbitration board. with its two
agents, its lawyers both sides, and its
clerks, &c. will be a somewhat imposing
body, and as its sittings may be extended over
year or two the tribunal will be a windfall
to the city of Geneva both in financial and
political view and we are glad Of it, because
Of our sympathies and respect for the faithful
little republican Swiss Confederation, and be-
cause the selection Of Geneva for the sittings
of this important tribunal is not only great
compliment to Switzerland, bu, flattering
concession TO the United States on the part Of
Her Majssty's members of the Joint High
Commission and the British government
Finally, under all these encouraging auspices,
we are confident of a just and decisive settle
ment Of our Alabama claims and to the salts
faction of both countries.

A REMARKABLE CASE OF POISONING occur
red in Williamsburg yesterday morning, The
family Of Richard Cook, consisting Of six per-
sons while eating breakfast suddenly began
to exhibit symptoms of poisoning. Physicians
were Immediately called, and by the admins
tration Of proper antidotes the lives of the
family we're saved. The poison acted precisely
as does trychnine, and was contained in the
blueHsh of which all the party had freely par
taken. The fish was thoroughly impregnated
with the poison, but from what cause is mys-
terry. II is contended by some that the fish used
had been caught near some wreck, and had
been impregnated with copper others believe it
to have been poisoned by the bait used when
caught, as il is said that some fishermen use
strychnine on surplus bait when they strike
school of buefsh. This family exhibited all
the symptoms of strychnine poison; their
faces became swollen, accompanied with in
tense pain In the head and but for the speedy
relief afforded them probably moi one would
have recovered.

differs from all ordinary cosmetics in three most
essential particulars, inasmuch as it contains no
injurious ingredients, does not contract shriye
the skin as all the astringent 'blooms lotions

skin. Under its operation the texture of the cpl
