A CROUNDLEss DEMOCRATIC CLAIM.

The Senate Committee investigating Quarantine
affairs at a recent session received report from
Knox McAfee, the secretary of the Quarantine
Commissioners, showing the appropriations made
by the State for the department and the eXpendl-
lures for care and maintenance for each year since
1878 For the years 1876 ana 1877 the apprOprla-
tons were smaller than for the other years, and an
effort has been made by Democrats TO prove that the
reduction was due to change in the political
complexion of the Board from Republican to Demo
cratic When the first of these small appropriations
was made the Beard was still Republican The
second year. when the Board was Democratic, Nh.
McAfee testified, the appropriation was largely
exceeded by expenses incurred, and balance OF
over 800 of that years expenses still remains
unpaid In 1878 while the Board was still Demo
cratic the appropriation was $4,000 and the ex-
penses S37, 633 so, both appropriation and expen-
diture being larger than for any year from $50 to
1881 With the present Republican Board, the
appropriations for care and maintenance have been
81 600 year. that amount having been proved
by experience to be just about sufficient for the
necessary expenses. The balance of the appropria-
tons has been largely used for deficiencies occur

crime and asserts that they were nstigated TO COM

The letter to the counsel repeats this allegation.
