HOW FRAUDS ARE NOW COMMITTED.

THE RATES NEARLY As EXORBIrANT AS EVER
DIR. CARNoCHAN Ills OWN MANAGER-IhE
PIRATES OF THE PRESENT SEASON.
About Sept. 49, 1870 the New-Y York HaTbOr
steyedoring and Lghtering Company, after three
months and half OF comparatively successful piracy,
found itself involved in law-suits and robbed
by the Health officers OF the part of the business from
which anticipated the largest profits resolved to turn
honest and preliminary step, defraudcd the Doctor
out of his last weeks nstalment of blood money
At the end OF the second week September the sl2O
failed to come 10 hand in advance at o'clock on sat
urday afternoon, stipulated and from that moment
the yellow flag forbidden board their boats III
Lower Bay. TIE flag had been common property as
long as the weekly stipend forthcoming, but the
moment the bride ceased to be forwarded, the Doctor
closed the infamous contract. The cause publicly
ASST gned for the split that the Company towed
her dock which had been ordered by the Doctor
to Upper Quarantine.
Since that day the fraud has been conducted by Dr.
CarnOchan without the all OF Intermediates Offers Of
Is and per cent Of the gross receipts made by rcspOn
sble firms were not accepted, and Dr. Carnochan then
control Of the entire business making his
tracts with the seyedorcs, lghtermen cOOpers, and
warehouses. HencefOrh these same unconfrmed rates,
slightly reduced from the former schedule but far above
the confirmed rates OF the Commissioners, and three times
those private companies, hare been forced upon the
shipping merchants by Or. Carnoehan himself
The following is the process of swndling now car
red out: Upon the arrival of vessel from any unn-
fected port she s quarantncd subject to the order Of
the Quarantine Doctor. His deputy, Dir. Riede boards
her, ascerains the state of health among the and
passenger and reports the to Dr. Carnochan The
captain is then taken board the Illinois and is de-
tained according TO the discretion of Dr. Carnochan.
He is permitted to go aboard his own ship but his
detention quarantine rests entirely upon the caprice
Of the health officer. His ship is then ordered to be
fumgatcd. This is done without fail and the fee-from
s5 to SOS pocketed This charge in itself is gross
outrage it il much higher than that of any other port
the world, and tax shipping. The following
official charges were made last month July, ls7D for
bark OF 800 uns from Cuba to of the largest shipping

The Controller of Currency has declared
dividend OF twenty per cent in favor OF
the creditors OF the First National Bank Of
New Orleans, payable as soon as the neces-
sary schedule can be prepared by the re-

OF his Indebtedness at the time Of the larce

in addition for SIS, 400 On deposit in bank

amounts, namely $235 l4S, have therefore.
been received from the funds collected by
the receiver before the declaration of the
