On the subject OF fumigating vessels, DR..
Chopin yesterday addressed the following
communication to Acting GOV. Wilt:
New ORLEANS, August Is, 1870.
To His Excellency Lieut. Gov. Wilt. Acting
Governor of Louisiana:
Sir-The communication OF the British con-
sui of the twelfth instant, referred by you to
the Board Of Health, has been received.
have the honor to answer that all vessels
alluded to In his communication come from
infected ports, and were therefore liable to all
quarantine regulations enumerated In sec
ttons 8 and Is of an act establishing quaran-
tine for the protection of the State, approved
March !.t ~ 1855 The Board =, Of Health consid.
declared to be infected, and each vessel Is in
spected, thoroughly fumigated, and a fee
charged for 80 doing. It seems to me that
the objections urged by the British consul to
the Interpretation Of the quarantine law by
the Board Of Health are more hyDercritical
than serious.
With the assurance Of my distinguished
consideration, | remain, etc,
SAINT chopin, M. d.,

THE r. e. LEE CLUB.

On Thursday evening there was a large
number Of persons In and around the r. II.
Lee Rowing Club boat-house, to witness q
barge race between two picked crews Of the
Lees and Eclipses.
A good start was made, but when the con
testants reached Spain street one OF the row
locks Of the Lees boat was broken and they
stopped rowing. The accident was untor-
fortunate, as the Lees were good length
ahead of their opponents at the time.
At a late meeting of the r. E. Lee Club a
new constitution was adopted and the follow
ing named officers elected: III. De Pass, presi-
dent; Alfred Boze vice president; Geo. Dolan,
secretary; Chas. E. Culbertson, treasurer; w.

Mr.. HI. S. MASON'S LECTURE.

There was an audience which filled the
greater part of the auditorium at the Opera
House last evening to hear Dir. H. S. Ma
son's lecture on freights and fares. The first
part of his discourse was occupied with re
view of the hurtful practices of the Central
Pacific Railroad. The latter part of the dis
course was an apology for the Virginia &
Truckee Railroad We have not time or
space for review of Mr.. Mason's speech and
statement of the probable reasons for it's de-
livery in this issue. We shall try and pay
some attention to Mr.. Mason and his address
in our issue of to morrow. The lecture oc-
cupied about one hour and three quarters.

THE AURORA AND BODIE STAGE
LINE

In the Aurora Herald of Saturday we find
she following:
Last Sunday John Allman's stage failed to
connect from Virginia City to this place until
late in the afternoon, in fact just about dark.
The trouble was first with the steamer on
Walker Lake, which found the waters too
rough and had to lay to for several hours,
and then again the gorged ice on Walker
River. Persons to whom the delay is thus
explained say it is all right to lay the blame
ON the ice, but that they know better; 1t was
really the fault of the steamer, which IN San
Francisco might be fast enough, but IN this
fleet country won't do. Our new devil thinks
it was because the stage had to go by way OF
Pine Grove.
The business interests of Carson are re-
lated more or less nearly to this stage-llne
question. There are many local reasons why
the line at present owned by Mr. Frank
Cluggage and running between here and
Aurora should be sustained, not only by the
people of Carson but the entire community
as well. This road is stocked with frst-rste
horses. The changes are but about twelve
miles distant. The stations are compare
lively commodious and comfortable
The houses of entertainment along the
line are excellent and reasonable in their
charges The schedule time between Carson
sud Aurora is IS hours. Mr. Cluggage has
the best line of Winter vehicles in use, and
as soon as the Spring opens he will put on
line of Concord Coaches On the other hand,
Allmans line is poorly stocked, his stages
are twice as far apart as Cluggage's, his We
hicles are hardly up to the clerk water va
riety, and his route, largely, is through a
bleak, uninhabited desert, all of which con-
trasts, to say nothing of the time saved, are
an argument in favor of Cluggages Carson
and Aurora line, and against Allman's Vir
sinia and Walker Lake route
