DiSGRACEFUL.
Bribery and Corruption Of New York
Quarantine 0fieerS-SsFi0us
Charges.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Iri-
blgis Of this morning presents a de-
tailed statement Of the transactions OF
the quarantine officials, and charges
the health officer, DR.. Carnahan, with
having prOstituted his official mower
u pilfering purposes for the enrich
ment Of himself and the quarantine
ring TO the damage of commerce of
this port.
Ii says that over five hundred YES
sels were driven cut Of this port in
a single wear by the action OF the quar-
sntiDs officer and his colleagues.
F0rtV-five thousand dollars were
plundered from a few score of mer-
chants, whom we name, during the
four quarantine months, in the single
items Of stevedOring, unnecessary
lightering and cOOperage, Many
thousands Of passengers have been
most unnecessarily put TO incOnve-
nience in transferring themselves and
baggage in the lower bay, and then
compelled, under threats of detention,
to pay from one dollar and fifty cents
to five dollars extra for transportation
Of a distance of not less than twelve
miles, while at the same time, the
tug maintained by the State at ex-
travagsnt rates to do this very work,
free Of cost to the passengers, has
been employed as q pleasure boat by
the health officer. Private shipping
merchants have been detained until
they consented TO pay for their trans

eross Frauds bv Indian Traders,

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE Sioux
City Times, of the 9th, published an
anonymous letter to General Hancock,
charging Messrs. Peck and Durfee,
who have charge of all the trading
posts on the upper Missouri, with
gross frauds, and also abusing the
rights and privileges given them by
the Government. The writer says
they have induced General Stanley,
district commander, to issue general
order prohibiting citizens or soldiers
from purchasing goods in that depart
ment from any one except the port
sutIer. It is also claimed that they
have refused to carry to certain posts
on their line of boats, nOtwithstand-
ing they are common carriers, all
packages addressed to citizens or sol
diers which they believe to contain
provisions or clothing. This writer
claims that it is all done with the
cOuntenance and cOnnivance OF the
military authorities.

So MUCH hss been printed touching
theimportance ofthe Mississippi River
railroad to Memphis thet We deem it
unnecessary now to say anything IN
that direction. But we think It a
on the 18th instant they will be called
upon to vote upon the question OF the
city taking stock in it to the extent
Of 5000 O0O-a sum that Is necessary to
proper time TO remind our readers that
the completion of what, when finished,
will prove the most important high
way leading into Memphis. If this
500, 900 Is voted by Memphis, there
will not be any difficulty in those
having the enterprise in charge put
ting it through at a rate of speed
equal to that which made the builders
OF the Central Pacific famous. This
500, 600 subscribed, there will not be
any trouble in procuring all that
may be necessary beyond that in the
shape Of material help. The people Of
the river counties of our State are i'm
patient to be in immediate cOnnec-
ti0n with US by railroad; they have a
constantly increasing trade, a country
OF unsurpassed resources and future
as bright as any other section of the
South. We hope that all the voters Of
Memphis will attend at the polls on
the 18th, and that an encouraging
majority will be given for this most
important and much needed railroad.
