The next speaker was Mr. ELUNGWoop, who spoke sub- stantially as follows :—After referring to many of the points touched upon in the report of the committee, he proceeded to show the justice of the conduct of the peo- ple in removing Quarantiue. Look, said he, at the conse- quences of permitting it to remain. I hold in my hand, he roceeded, the annual report of the Physician-in-Chief of the Marine tal, pre- sented in 1867, and it shows that this Quarantine, so far from its being a protection to the inhabitants of New York as well as those that dweil under its very shadow, that for every disease that has been imported into this country, there have been five cages generated by this pest house itself. It is a fact that many of you may not be pre- pared to hear, but here is the record for it. Tn 1866 there were 538 cases of yellow fever outside of the hospital and om the adjacent shores of Staten and Long Islands, of which more than one-half died, and of these ouly 92 were imported into this country by foreign ships. And this don’t embrace all the cases, for there were many occur. ring in Brooklyn and on the Jersey shore—so we may fairly conclude that we are exposed when we think our- selves most exempt. At the close of Mr. Ellingwood’s remarks, Mr. Curtis made a brief and bappy speech, which was listened to throughout with much interest. Three cheers were called for the New Yor« Herawp, and the call was at once responded to. The Chairman nominated, as an Executive and Financial Commitee, the folowing gdutlemen, who were elected by acclamation :—For Northficld—Lott C. Clarke, Abraham Simonson, Geo. W. Jewett.
