YORK HERALD, SUNDA FIGHTING THE PRESS. Tho Preas and ,Whllo Ignored by the Henlth Board—Its Reso Wont, Adopted at Secret Session. Some days ago certa # 4octors of the Board of Health declared the relape “8 fever epidemic, and by innuendoes, conversations 4 F¢ Beneralities gave the impression that there was p WH of a fever acourze. ‘They put their heads togethe.” 204 resolved upon getting tne sanction of the Gover. Yr to estaniisn pri- Vate hospitals under thetr auspice: OD the plea that the Commissioners of Charities .\ad Correction were unable to accommoaste 100 Of 160 pa. tients down with tne disease. Th, tt was represented, would involve a'¥ outlay Of $50,000 or $60,000 of public money, .\H effort Was made by the doctors to induce the soara’ 60 pre- vail upon the Governor to issue the necessar.¥ Pro- clamation, The HERALD was the firat papor to , Wick the bubbie and expose what looked like a big job'on the part of the doctors. The result was that the do tors were beaten on their own ground, and the Board by resolution declared there was no necessity for the promuigation of a proclamation. Smarting under defeat they returned to the charge and at a recent meeting passed the foliowing:— Resolved, That tho Sanitary Superintendent, As- sistant Sanitary Superintendent, sanitary Shapes, ors, assiatant sanitary inspectors and clerks vf this Board be prohivited from giving any information Imrespect to the oficial action of the Board or its omicial documents to auy person not connected With this Board, Resoived, That no communication, oMcial or pur- porting to be oficial, be turnished by auy officer of this Board to tne public or the pre! without the authority of the Board or the Sanitary Committee. The Sanitary Commi'tee who are thus alarmed are Drs, Smith, Crane and Stone, who propose to run the Board if they cannot run 4 relapsing fever hospital at an enormous expense. 1u consequence of these resolutions the officials of the Board yesterday refused ail information as to the fever and smallpox, us well as che uumoer of deaths, birtus and marriages, QUARANTINE AFFAIRS. eg Meeting of the New Com missionore—Dincuse sion on the Estimated Cost of the New Quarantine § Structures—The Quarantine Boundaries—The American Shipping Bill in Congress. The Board of Commissioners of Quarantine met yesterday afternoon in stated session, with the pre- sident, Mr. Wilson G. Hunt, in the chair, The min- utes of the previous meeting were read and ap- Proved, after which Mr. H. W. Johnson, counsel to the Board, read tue report of the superintending en- gineer on the estimated cost of the quarantine struc- tures. The report was directed to the Board of Con- struction and was was read by Mr. Johnson for the information of the Commissioners, The estimate gives the cost of the upper structure about $350,000, and of the lower structure, $94,090, or @ total of about $450,000, Dr. CARNOCHAN, Health Officer, called the atten- tion of the Board io the fact that there were no detinite boundaries to the quaranune station, and that, therelore, there were no limits marked by buoys or otherwise within which the Health Omcer or Dis assistants might forbid vessels not quaran- tined toanchor. The matter was pretty thoroughly discussed, but deferred, without any action, ull a future day. Dr. BELL called the attention of his fellow Com- missioners to the probable effect which the passage of the bill reported vy the Committee on Commerce in Congress might have ou the workings of the quarantine laws, He stated that should Con- gress ass the luw forbidding the collec- Uon of hospital fees an additional tax, and undoubtedly an onerous one, would be tus im- posed on this city or State; that those vessels which brought disease to the port, and which might be looked upon as culpable in the matter, would be quarantined enureiy at the expense of the city or Mr. JOHNSON, counsel to the Board, stated that the famous cases known as “the passenger cases"’ trled before the United Spates Supreme Court had definitely settled that matter. lt was decided in those cases that each State had a right to make its own quarantine regulations. It seemed to be the opinion of the Board that tt would be well to have the facts of the matter placed before the Committee on Commerce in their wue light, and that no law would be adopted which would place @ heavy burden on any State or port for the purpose of protecting the public heaith. A large amount of routine business was transacted, after which the weeting adjourned, GERMANAMERICAN SCHOOL A‘SOCIATION. Last evening, at Liederkranz Hail, this association, composed of 161 delegates, from societies in all the wards of the city, held its regular monthly meeting for Fevruary. The President, Mr. Willy Wallach, being absent from the city, the first vice president, Mr. F. V. Euring, took the chair. The secretary, Dr. W. L. Landsberg, read the minutes of the January meeting, and they were approved. At roll call it was found tnat some of the deiegates from the Sixth, Ninth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards did not answer to their names. Dr. Boettcher reported that in Cherry street a petition 19 in circulation to the Board of Education among the Chinese inhabi- tants of the neighborhood, asking for the introdue- tion of the Chinese language asa regular branch of instruction in the public schools of the ward, which was received with much merriment. Mr. Benedict Stern, of the Twenty-second ward, resigned his sition as member of the Finance Committee. rt. M. Ellinger, on benaif of the Committee of Cor- respondence, submitted a draft of an appeal to the school socleties of the wards to have petitions cir- culated for signature to the School Trustees of the wards for the introduction of the German language, in pursuance of the resoluuons passed by the Board of Education in this respect that ‘whenever a suit cient number of parents in a ward, &c.,” apply for it the imstruction of that language should be introdueed. Mr. Muhr spoke 1a very earnest terms on the proceedings in tne last meeting of the Board of Education, and especialiy on the offensive remarks of Mr. Wood. Dr. Gehrke replied that the proceedings mentioned were only remarks of a singie member of the Board, and as they bore the character of @ schoolboy’s fun they did not merit any earnest attention. After others had spoken Dr. Herzberg called attention to the uncertaimly of the language of the resolution, ‘Whenever a sufficient number of parents,” &c. What was a “snficient number?” he asked, and claimed that with this nothing at all had yet been gained. The trustees might declare any number, be it ever so large, ag “‘inguflicient.” “He wanted the clause more dis- unctly defned and the number fixed vy the Board, and he moved that such a request be made. This motion was declared out of order for the present, and after other speeches @ vote was taken and the appeal as reported by the committee was not adopted, but a substituie, moved by Mr. Utterbourg, ‘was carried, that the new paragraph of the school ordinances be communicated to the ward presidents: by the officers of the General Committee, with a re- quest to do everything in their power to secure the benefits they provide. A desultory debate followed, with an appeal from the decision of the Chair, ana it ended in a reconsideration of the above vote. The substitute was then defeated and the report of the committee adopted. Afier some routine business the meeting adjourned. SGASSING?? AT COOPER INSTITUTE. The Sublimated Essence of the “Shoo Fly”? Genius—A Pugilistic Subject. - Last evening the great hall of the Cooper Union was filled by avast audience assembled to hear a lecture by Professor B, J. Raphael on the “Circula- tion of the Blooa;” but in this they were disap- pointed, for Professor Raphael having been taken very suddenly ill he was, of course, unable to lecture. Mr. Hewitt, in a very neat little speech announced this fact to the audience and, at the same time, intro- duced Dr. Colton, who delivered @ very interesting lecture on the subject of “Nitro Oxide Gas.” The Doctor said that nitro oxide, or laughing gas, was littie different from the common air we breathe, He explained to the audience that the air was composed of oxygen and nitrogen. Laughing gas, he said, was pure, or at least nearly pure oxygen. He explained the difference between @ person being anesthised with the gas and with chloroform. The latter did not contain a particle of oxygen and instead of ingreasing the vitality of the patient it had just the opposite effect. The Doctor said he had ad. Tinistered the gas to hundreds of persons who had the heart diseage and he had never know of its injuring any o: He thought it perfectly sare for person, no matter what thelr condition of health might be, to take the gas. At the conclusion of his lecture the Doctor gave Some very interesting illustrations and expert- ments. Butfor the short time he had for prepara- tion he would, he gaid, have condensed the gas for the edification of the audience. He sald he had, Upon another occasion, condensed it toa liquid by the ald of @ peculiar instrument that he brought from Paris some time ago. When the nitrooxide is condensed to a liquid it produces a cold 240 degrees below zero. He said he had frozen twelve or four- teen pounds of quicksilver toa solid lump with it. He exhibited a very peculiar kind of air gun, with which he did some very good shooting, which frightened the ladics in the audience very much. ‘This, the Doctor said, was a little foretgngto the sub- ject of his lecture, but he did it merely to show the great elasticity of air. Having finished these ex- periments, the Doctor invited a few persons to come forward and take the te whereupon a gencral Tush was made for the platform, aud in a few mo- ments it was packed full.

I¢ is, perhaps, the beat thing to be done, as many of the men have large families, and all were upset by the hopes at one time held outto them, ana by the want of ae- cision of the Brazilian government to say either yes or no to them. However, I fear Uncie Sam wilt disown @ large proportion of them as bis chicks. whether native or naturalized, as a little money Judiciousty employed here among native officials has conierred American naturalization on @ good Many would-be emigrants from Brazil. The Bra- zilian government also purposes sending home the British immigrants who have abandoned the colo- nies under similar circumstances, Although a change of ministry has not yet occurred, there has been a change of ministers. Conseiheiro Alencar, Minister of Justice, having resigned upon the Sth, in consequence, he says, of being unwilling to submit to certain exigencies, he hag been succeeded by Dr. Joaquim Octavio Nebias, President of the Chamber of Deputies, and the port- follo of Agriculture has been given to Dr. Diogo Vetho Cavaicantl de Albuquerque, First Secretary of tho same chamber, The appointment of Seflor Nebias 1s a concession made to the young conservative party, which was discontented, and still is; but the editor of the Diario de Rio de Janerio, who had taken up a course of opposition to the ministry, 18 appeased by the appointment, which was lis suggestion, and by the exit of Conselheiro Alencar, who had started @ conservative journal which would pabarally tail into the fattest Jobs in the printing and advertising lune so long as Alencar was Minister. Alencar, however. promises to support the ministry, the price therefor probably being juis selection irom the Senatorial listgetected by Ceara. The choice of Silor Diogo Velho for Minister of Agriculture, &¢., puzzles most people, as he has achieved no reputation and can give no strength to the Cavinet. In fact, he was nothing but a country lawyer, & Jac lotum of the Itaboraby family, for col- lecuing debts and such jobs, and was elected into the Chamber of Deputies only by the influence of the family of the Premier. However, no one can say What a man will turn out to be until he 1s tried, and perhaps he may prove to bo the right man in the right place, notwithstanding present appeai ances. Atallevents he has the advantage of suc. ceeding Signor Anton, than whom there couid scarcely be a more pa Minister of Agricul- ture, Commerce and Public Works. ‘rhis late minister has come out with a manifesto to the senatorial electors of Minas Geraes, ia which the only reasou he ascribes for leaving the Ministry is that he wished to have no advantage over his competitors for the honor of the electoral sutfrages, But political men laugh, and neSis looked upon by all parties as ruined in reputation as a political man, However, it may be that the premier promised nim @ senatorship as the price of hts v. log his seat in the Cabinet, and relieving his colleagues of wb nightmare. If so, he may be elect, as a govern- ment ta Brazil ts virtually omnipotent ‘in such mat- ters. It 1s whispered in usually well-informed circles that the Minister of Finance, the Visconde de Itaborahy, bas received a rebuif in England in gard to an attempt made to negotiate a loan ther ‘The answer he 1s sald to have got was that 1t could be negotiated on one condition alone—that, us se- curity for it, a lien be given on the Custom House of Rio Janeiro.

This ts tne Brazilian system, which estiniates only ordinary ex- penses and leaves the extraordinary ones to be met by extraordinary and supplementary credits granted by imperial decrees. The government has just published a report on a project for connecting the Upper and Lower San Francisco navigations by ® tramroad. The san Francisco, In some respects, may be looked upon as the counterpart of the Mississippt (although vastly inferior to the latter), as it flows from the central regions of Brazil, and but for the falls, two hundred miles from its mouth, continuing unnavigable tor about flity miles, should form the natural outlet of an immense @xtent of Brazilian territory. Although the population 1s scanty along the San Francisco as yet, and the soil 18 generally inferior, 1s affording the natural outlet to the rich province of Minas Geraes causes it to be an important object in the eyes of Brazilian legisiators, and, besides this province, Pernambuco, Bahia, Lor- gipe, Alagoas are immediately interested in 6 = uttlizauon, and Pianhy and Goyaz to a less degree. For these reasons and a feeling of shame at neglecting such an immense natural high- Way, it 13 probable that the improvement of its rapids and the construction of a tramroad around its impracticable falls will furnish employment to ea- gincers and contractors before another year 18 past, eliver on the part of the government, or, what ts wire likely, @ company.
