A Rose-finted Report to the Authorities. ¥ é ‘ee the last metting of the Board of Health the *oBnoxious subject of fat-rendering was handed ‘over to @ Bpecial Committee, composed of Commis- alonérs Bosworth, Ceecarini, Stephens, Smith and “wross, and it was contidently hoped these gentle- men would settle the matter in a mauner that would preve satisfactory to the public, At the ‘Yme this transfer was made a paper, pretending to ‘de a report upon a portion of the subject, was also handed over to the committee for their considera- tion. ‘Tho particular branch of the fat business this ‘special paper referred to was what is known ‘ae the New York Rendering Company, a kind of public-private concern that consumes ite filth upon the Hudson, and defies the inhabitants of the banks of the river by the adrottneas of its manage- ment. This company 13 paid $28,000 year by the wily of New York for the removal of all material from its gurface that shall be deemed by the author- ities a nuisance. Under this heading come such things as horse carcasses, the dead bodies of. al other animals, of no matter what genus, and the offal of the slaughter houses, The few York Rendering Company is supposed to remove all suck offensive stuff from the surface of H the city immediately upon notification, but the <meness” of the management ts so acute that they ‘are able as a general thing to suit themselves. For ‘nstance, if a lorse dies In a certain stable during ‘he night TRE BODY IS PUT OUT ON THE STREET ‘she following morning, shortly after daylight, aud | ‘the Rendering Company is duly notified; but the ‘eompany will be in no huiry to take that carcass ‘away unless it is in the habit of huving a good many ‘ttle jobs of the same kind from that stable. Not “anfrequentiy, when the carcasses le upon the ground an unusual time, a complaint 4s made to the Board of Health, an inspector is sent “to look into the matter and the nuisance is finally removed; but the people hving in the vicinity of ‘the putrefying mass are obliged to put up with the “abomination all that time and wait the goodly plea- -eureof the Rendering Company. It is the same ‘thing with horses that fall in the strects from heat, -etarvation, sickness or neglect. The carcasses lie where they fall until the Rendering Company thinks well of removing them. A lady complained to Com- missioner Bosworth, Beailth, one day last week that the dead body of a Borse had bec lying in front of her residence for thirty-six hours. ‘The dangers to the lives and bealth of the people from this sort of thing are manifold. ‘here {s first the rion fly that is Mable to settle on the rotting carcass, then con- wey the poison'virus of decomposition to a healthy human being and cause death. There are the wanes — from the same source tainting the air in ren in the streets by the exposure of tl diseased bodies. In the narrow and crowded thoroughfares of some of the wards in the city the carcass of a horse is no sooner exposed than'numbers of children crowd around it and ac- tually play upon if innocent of its destructiveness. When: theee bodies are mn away they are carted to the promises of the Rendering Company, at the foot of West Thirty-eighth strect, placed on board the boat used for manufacturing filthy fat out of them, and the refuse is Mung into the river.

It is an institu- tion belonging to the firm of Gamble & McNeal. ‘These people have a set of barges that carry barrels of ‘what is called scrap from the city to the Palisades, where their factory is, and in the summer time the stench from this putrefying ith is terrible. The barrels are carried slowly up the river, entirely un- covered, and brought in the same manner empty, when the smell from them is even more offen- sive than while they are full, This firm, with some others in the same line of business, is constant! at war with the Board of Health, but the Board now making arrangements to compel them to at- tend to its ordinances, The amount of material consumed by these citerent eaten in = day is enormous, and may magi from. fact that 1,100 barrels of offal were yesterday put on board the works of the New York Rende!

FAT BOILING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY The Health Department Negligent. ‘To THE EpITOR OF THE HERALD:— As your paper is the great head centre for the people’s defence in matters of civic rights, we ap peal to you for help. We have been hoping in vain for, A long time that the vile stenches that per- vade the almospheré of the wi of the city, from Thirty-fourth to Fiitieth street, would bo abated. Has the Health Department been over- come with the heated term, or is it still practising “how not to doit’? The former Samtary Inspec- tor had the offenders in our locality arrested, and for a short time we enjoyed the fresh air once | More; but that imallenable right is now denied us | by the ineMiciency of the health oficers. The hor- tiply vile stenches of fat boiling penetrate every- where in our houses every night, and when we re- turn to our houses from business to enjoy the cool evening, breezes we must per force shut the doors and windows and exclude the cool air, 80 loaded | with these stenches that it is intolerable. Our | families are driven to the country to obtain that which they cannot get here. After the arrest, by Dr, Morris, of the persons complained of, we thought we should have some relief, but as they are at their old tricks agaln, and, so far as the health authorities are concerned, may go on till the respectable portion of the inhabi- tants, who have invested their money in what they supposed would be comfortable and healthy homes, will be driven where no such stenches come.

These are hinge hat cause disease; and if the Health Board will look after and stop this business they may find the death rates diminished. But, perhaps, is the way to keep themselves in office, for by promoting disease and giving cholera a chance to get a foot- hold they may find it to thelr (pate aw yA advantage. Our wary Comptroller may get scared ‘and open his purge that they may have more money to spend. (?)

If the Health Board would hoid @ few of their weekly sessions in the new market, foot of West ‘Thirty-fourth street, after five o'clock P. M., I have no doubt the remedy would come. We citizens think we have some rights, and may be soon around to present the Health Department for indictment before the Grand Jury neglect to enforce the laws which they are charged to exe- cute, Are these laws to become a dead letter, and are we taxpayers forever to groan under the ex- actions to support such an indifferent d ment?

Hon. J. P. BENJAMIN, Secretary of State, C. 8. A.:— S1R—I desire to submit to you, as the head of the Department to which I am directly responsible, and under whose control they should, if possible, have been conducted, the history of certain transactions in which I was engaged while in Canada, but which did not fall within the scope of the duties assigned me by the President. I will not here repeat the reasons which have been communicated im previous reports for protracting my stay in the Britssh Provinces. During the interval of leisure which this delay afforded me, I was practically associated by my friends, Messrs. Clay and Thompson, with them- selves, in the execution of their more comprehen- sive and delicate mission. In anticipation of the arrival of these gentlemen at Niagara, but, as I believe, without their previous kpowledge or sanction, Mr. George N. Sanders, then re- pldiny in that part of Canada, invited number “of “Citizens of the United States, supposed to be hostile to the existing administra” tion, to visit the Falls and intercha opinions thg condition of iraege try aud the great eneerton ipon of peace Will Fominent Confederate gentle- meb who were expected to spend a portion of the summer at that place. Such conferences bein; entirely legitimate under the construction which Messrs. Olay and pson—no doubt very roperly—placed upon their powers and duties. I faa no hesitation meeting the public men who came to the Falla, and expressed a desire for 1m, society. That point being the most conventent anc eligible for the transaction of my own business, T remained there during the whole yerion of my stay in Canada, aud thus had opportunities of more fre- quent and extensive intercourse with these gentlemen than either of my friends, one of whom, Mr. Clay, made his headquarters at St. Catherine's, the other, Mr, Thompson, at Toronto, Besides a crowd of less distin- guished persons I saw during the course of the summer (in some instances repeatedly), Governor Hunt, of New York; Messra, Dean Richmond and Benjamin Wood, of the same State; Mr. Buckalew, Judge Black and Mr. Van Dyke, of Pennsylvania; McLean, of the Cincinnati Enqgutrer; Weller, ot Gallfornia ; bh Bulitt, of Kentucky, and Colonel Walker, of Indiana, We received messages from other gentlemen, such as Voorhees, of In- diana, and Pendleton, of Ohio. Be’ Mr. Clay and myself had reached Niagara Mr. Thomp- son ‘had seen Mr. Vallandigham.

Certain editorials which appeared in the New York Tribune early in June, counected with inti- Mations from our friends in New York, induced a hope (which with me has uipenes, into an abidin, conviction) that the able editor of that influential journal entertained opinions upon the subject of ace much more reasonable and moderate than hose of the republican party in general. For this reason neither Mr. Clay nor myself (Mr. Thompson being in Toronto and taking no in these hemnigyees bent with one or two gentlemen who visited him in that city) discouraged Mr. Sanders from send- ing sach an invitation te @ third ‘gained and say that during the Iast month of extreme hot | ns located on and near the river front | Fifty-ninth street, and [ | belleve some of this business is carried on in boats | CONViction we authorized Mr. Sanders to signify | ‘forms his duty?

Mr. Sanders soon ee that th negeston was most kindly received by Mr. Greeley, but that he expressed a ference for Washi as a place of meeting, and de- sired to know if we were willing to go there. It did not occur to as we had doubt from what had Bubsequentiy no transpired was the fact, that Mr. Greeley ae pened we held any quasi diplomatic position. We never written a line or uttered a word to jus- tify such an inference. The anonymous publica- tions attributing to us conversations in which va- rious terms of peace and recoustruction were sug- pence, had no shadow of foundation in truth. This impression oi Mr. Greeley most probably arose from the ignorance, tolly or Knavery of Colorado Jewett, who was the medium of communication between Mr. Sanders and himself. Nothing could be further from the truth than the statement of our ingenious friend, Dr. Mackay, in his letter to the London Times, that we laid a trap to catch Mr. Lincoln. Had we suspected any delusion as to our true character, or the inforinal nature of the proposed conference, it would have been promptly dispelled. In considering the propriety of accepting the sug- gestion of Mr. Greeley to visit Washington, we most deeply regretted that it was impossible to submit the question to our own government for its decision, ‘There seemed to us, however, upon reflection, no doubt as to the line of conduct which would advance the interests of our country. The good to be ac- complished by such a visit would, In our judgment, have greatly overbalanced any mischief that could result from it, The publicity of our presence in the United States, with the sanction of iis government, must have imparted a mighty Imfucnce to the cause of peace by the free dixcussion it would have authorized and invited. ‘The opportunities of general and unrestrained intercourse might have been improved #0 as to secure an insight into the temper and policy of the administration, the views of leading public men, the spirit of the people, and the resources of the countr: Under this | to | to | lute the Mr. Mr. Greeley our willingness to proceed Washington upon the tender of an abso- and unconditional safe conduet from President’ of the United States, found that he had, most neste lly, associated his name with our own in the proposed visit: There were serious objections to this associat: — but pele ne Mr, Sanders to be a sincere and vealous frien this occasion his peculiar talents might render him useful in acquiri the information we desired, and feeling that if the safe con- uct was tendered his wishes on this subject would be entitled to some consideration, we permitted the note to be sent without correc- tion. It ia, however, incumbent upon me to add | that, with all proper respect for Mr. Sanders, he lieve into that of Mr. Clay. In few days we re- ceived a letter from Mr. Greeley advising us of his | arrival at the International Hotel, on the American | side of the Fails, and tendering us a safe conduct to | | Washington, and bisown escort, upon the hypothesis that we were duly accredited from Richmond as the bearers of propositions looking to the estab- lishment of peace, and desired to visit Washington in the fulfilment of our mission.

Although a gross delusion as to the extent of their recent military successes has in- duced a reaction and secured the re-election of Mr. Lincoin, it is destined to exercise an en- during influence for good.
