DoGBERRY OFFIcIALs-Both Gen. Grant
and Capt. Eads were detained at the quaran-
tine station below New Orleans for three
days on their recent return from Mexico.
although the officers of their ship certified
that there was no contagious or infcctive
case of disease on board.
Capt. Eads, upon learning that they were
ordered to be detained, requested permission
to return to Port Eads at the jetties, which
is thirty-fivc miles below the quarantine
station, and is not such IL station, but the
Louisiana Board of Health refused the re-
quest, which led to n controversy between
said board and the Captain. He published
a letter on the subject in the New Orleans
Democrat, to which the board replied stating
that the Captains statements were eXagger-
atcd. To this the Captain again responded
by publishing second letter in the New
Orleans Democrat, stating facts and reiterat-
ing his statements. Among Others he stated
that it was the rule mt New York, if YES
sci came from port without infection and
none reported on arrival, to let the vessel
pass at once. The Louisiana Board have
now gotten into controversy with the Ma
tional Board on the subject. And it is to be
hoped that the dOgberry officials may be at
length penetrated with few rays of COM
mon sense. Their action has been such as
to prove great detriment to the commerce
of the Mississippi valley, and the Captain is
determined to crush this imbecile factious
obstruction as he did the material one of
mud, sand, clay, etc.
One of the immediate results of his letters
was the establishment of quarantine sta
ton ut Port Eads.
