Star Chamber ProceedinGs,

Some ugly rumors are afoat concerning
recent transactions of the Board Of Police
Commissioners. A resolution was recently
adopted by the board to exclude all persons
from its meetings. and they are now held
with sealed doors. Of what is going on in
this improvised "star chamber" the public,
who has right to know. and press re-
porters, whose duty it is to find out and tell
what they know to the public, are kept in
profound ignorance. Access to tho books
and records of the board is likewise pro
hibited; the clerks having the same in
charge are forbidden to disclose their con-
tents. under pain of immediate dismissal.
1t is reported on the street that act No.
Ga, Of the last session Of the Legislature,
which permits the issuing Of additional
checks to the officers and employees Of the
force, to make up amounts lost by
depreciation of their warrants. has
been interpreted by the board to
apply TO their own individual salaries,
but not to those of the officers and patrol
men under their control. When this act
was first promulgated, it will be remem-
bered, it was submitted by the board to
Messrs. Whitaker & Rice, their attorneys.
who promptly pronounced it unconstitu-
tional. The members of the board. how
ever. if this report be true. are now paying
themselves their salaries in currency and at
par. while the officers and patrolmen are
paid in warrants issued by the board. which

GrnveIing the Streets.

When the REPUBLICAN suggested that
the proper way to make test of the vari-
GUS samples OF gravel offered for paving
purposes was to take street like St.
Charles avenue and permit each party to
lay his materials on the bare, smooth soil
for a certain allotted space and contiguous
to each other. in order that the public
might be able to judge of each by compari.
son with the other. and thus agree upon the
best pavement. we had had no suggestions
from either of the parties on the subject.
We have since been informed. however. by
both Mr.. Casey and General Sewell, that
they would prefer to submit to that kind OF
a test. and in that locality. Each is SAN
guine of the superiority of his own mate,
rial. and each anxious for fair. honest and
impartial trial. We presume Mr.. Higgins
takes the same view of it.

Board of Health.

The board had its regular monthly meet
ing last evening, President DR.. c. B. White
in the chair, and present Drs. Drew, Fin
ney and Newman and Messrs. Walton and
Heath.
Dr. Clark's report, recommending that the
hide curing establishments Of Messrs. Paul
Esteben and L. Sorapuru be required to re-
move from Nos. Il and As Peters street, was
adopted.
The United States consul at Havana, A.
T. A. Terbert. on date Of June Is. says:
considerable yellow fever exists at the
present time, although comparatively little
among the shipping, and sixty deaths per
week may be considered the maximum"
DR.. Perry specially reported on Magazine
Market and nuisance there of broken and
impaired pavement. This was ordered to
be repaired.
The regular sanitary reports Of the dis
trict inspectors were read. and the uui-
sances noted ordered abated.
In consideration that the laborere and
boatmen at the different quarantine sta
tions are Of high order, and only obtain
able by cash payments, DR.. Finney moved
that the treasurer Of the board be instructed
to pay no demands until he had sufficient
funds to pay these wages, which were to
have preference; demands for rent and sal
aries to follow in that order.
DR.. Finney moved the appointment OF an
inspection committee for the quarantine
station, and DR.. White appointed Drs. Fin
ney and Newman.
DR.. White reported in regard to death
Of yellow fever. The facts are as follows:
Jose Marie Arran, native Of Barcelona,
nineteen years Of age. mate Of tho bark
Valparaiso. died July 8. The vessel, from
Havana. arrived at quarantine June l6.
She passed to the city June 26. The de-
ceased was taken sick July 4. and died on
the evening Of the eighth, il the Third
District. Immediately on learning Of the
disease the Board OF Health caused the
cabin Of the vessel to be disinfected with
carbolic acid atomized. The hold has since
been 1umigated with chloride every
night. All clothing on board has
been boiled and disinfected with
carbolic acid. At the house where he died
the bed. bedding and clothing were
burned. The house was thoroughly disin.
fected the same day with carbolic acid
The whole square was visited and disin-
fected. All the neighboring yards were
sprinkled with carbolic acid. DR.. White
expressed the opinion that this death
would cause no other by contagion. There
was no appearance Of disease among either
the crew or officers of the vessel.
The board then adjourned.

Hon. Charles Clinton, Sta.e Auditor

FRANKLIN, La, July 8, 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
During the rains and bad weather in juno
and early in July, We passed through por-
tions of Southwestern Louisiana, and have
visited the principal villages.
The six parishes, St. Mary, Iberia, st.
Martin, Lafayette and Vermilion, are now
organized in the interest Of immigration.
When the whole State is organized We ex-
pect to see strong interest exhibited in
nearly all of the parishes in this, the most
important movement in the State since the
close of the war.
On tho third instant we addressed .
meeting at Abbeville, parish Of Vermilion.
To our astonishment, they gave US very
good audience, and took lively interest in
tho cause. Judge William Kibbe, Elijah
Ewing and Lastie Broussard are directors
Of the branch company for that parish.
They said they would have given us larger
audience it the notice had been earlier
given.
They have an agricultural society organ
lied at Abbeville. There are strong lndica-
tions of waking up among tho people,
with the intention to do something for their
parish. We find moro such feeling in this
country than We expected to find.
IN New Iberia they are organizing So
ciety to bring INTO that parish farmers from
other parishes. Their Louisiana small farm
ers who have come to the Teche country
from the Lafourche have succeeded 80 well
that they want moro of the Same sort. We
would no. be surprised to see this section
lead off stronly in the immigration move
ment before next spring, perhaps in . few
months.
These magnificent prairies, bayous, lakes,
forests and islands all cry almost audibly
for population. What country for honest
farmers to settle in. The broad green earth
has no finer. d. D.
