MORE CATS,
GENERAL TREASURY REGULATIONS
CAT NO. ADA.

It crops out that on Monday 8 delegation OF
merchants waited on Collector Smith Of the
Custom House to talk with him on tho subject
Of quarantine and clean bills Of health.
The object of tho visit, Mr. Smith said to our
reporter, Was to ascertain from him his posi-
tion In relation to the Board Of Health and that
he had answered thai his correspondence with
the board had been made public and showed
that he had asked the board whether he could
issue clean bills Of health to vessels leaving
this port; that the answer Of the board was that
they could not authorize him to do 50 at tbnt
time, and that the occurrence of two or three
| more frosfs would be necessary to justify the
authorization.
In the Conversation that followed our re-
porter was led to the belief that the object Of
the visiting committee was to obtain from the
Collector that he should write again an official
letter to the Board Of Health on the subject, but
without indorsing the following form, which
Mr.. Smith says, he was In duty bound to inclose
in his letter to the board:
