P.'s queries in his attack on me in your col- umne of the 8d and 17th inst.; hence my delay. But, yielding to the solicitations of esteemed friends, I now forward the following answer to this your correspondent. I doubt not the HeRaLp will, in the spirit of American fair play, give inser- tion to my brief remarks. Will the reverend objector inform me what right he has to demand that money belonging to the State shall be used to build a tabérnacle on State ground to be occupied by his sect? ‘The Catholic Church is not a sect. She was—and is—the Oburch of Christ from the time of Christ and His apostles. Respecting the construction of a church on Ward’s Island for Catholics the Presi- dent of the Jrish Emigrant Society and Commis- sioner of Emigration ansv-ers you most clearly and ably in the HERALD of June 22. It was his part to be abie to anawer for the public acts of the Society of which he Is President, and I have merely to refer you Fda what he says on the subject in the last Sun- [ERALD. 8 to the statement of Mr. A.

A carpenter, convalescent of a sick ward, offered Mmseif’to me to build the side altars in thé new church, as he pre’ tobe particularly skilled in that line.

Preparations by the Board of Healttr to Head Off the Expected Visitor—The Work of De‘ence and What It Is—A Warning to Railroad Companies, Hotel Keepers and House- holders Generally—What the Chol- era Experts Have To Say About the City’s Danger. The near approach of the cholera does not, ap- parently, give the Board of Health of this city any very great uneasiness, yet it may not be generally known that during the past few days the most ex- tensive preparutions have been made to give the unwelcome guest such @ receptioa that will forbid @ lengthened stay in our midst, The Board claim that there is no ground, as yet, for anything like a panic, and that it will be high time to issue oMcial bulletins ofa general character as to the work that it is doing to protect the public from the ravages of the dread destroyer when all their DEFENCES AGAINST THE COMMON FOE shall have been completed, They, it is true, say they recognize the fact that the city is in danger Of the disease, inasinuch as it will come do what they may to prevent it; but they at the same time claim that they intend to be so prepared at the Proper hour that its coming will not be the cause for any general trepidation, It was the idea of a few of the health officials last week that all the rallroads should be quarantined at once—that is, that even before any case of cholera had declared its presence in our midst every traln arriving from the West should be compelled to stop outside the city limits ‘until the inspectors of the Board made thorough examination of the passengers, in order that no tainted person could reach the city proper. This idea did not find general favor, and a different lan, seemingly a good one, has been decided upon, ‘iroulars have been sent to all THE RAILROAD COMPANIES and to all the poorer class of hotels and boarding houses, with positive instructions to what they must do to guard against the invasion of the dis- ease. Special directions have been given as to dis- infecting and cleansing the privies and water closets of these places, as the ready means of de- stroying any germs of the disease which may be deposited there by persons from infected dis- tricts, either passing through the city or dur- ing a temporary abode. Deputy Sanitary In- spector Janes says that it is now generally admitted that the germs of cholera poison exist in the discharges from persons having what is known as the ‘“premonitory diarrhwa—a diarrhoea gene- rally painless in its character and so mild as not to excite the alarm of the patient or the suspicion of his friends, Under the circumstances he now re- peats what ten days ae, he advised in his report to the Board—namely, that it is of the utmost im- portance that early attention be given to such Corte the discharges be immediately disinfected and. THE PATIENTS PROPERLY ISOLATED. The disinfectant which, in consequence of this advice, they are making use of, is ten pounds sul- phate of iron, five gallons of water and half a pint of common ‘bolic acid. Inspector Jones yester- day, during @ conversation which @ HERALD com- missioner with him, remarked that a circular for general circulation was now heing prepared, which would be ready in a day or two, and which was intended as an_ oficial warning to the community to be on their guard against the cholera, and at the same time give them all the necessary instructions whereby they might be able to head off the disease. The mode or disiniection already referred to, he says, if ap- plied to THE SINKS AND WATER CLOSETS of private houses, if made general, would not only cleanse the house drains, but through them the public sewers would be deprived of a greater por- tion of their poisonous gases. It may be well just nere to mention that the Board has mappea out the entire aity into small districts, and that a ertain number of inspectors have been detatiea” ‘to each district, with power to make & complete survey of every house and habitation, of whatever kina, in the neighborhood. No house will be allowed to escape the notice of this door-to-door visitation commit- tee, as the law gives the inspectors full authority to examine, on showing thetr credentials from the Board, every house, and to order whatever disin- fections they see fit to purity it. ALL FOUL CELLARS and badly kept privies and yards will then be over- hauled. In fact, this kind of good work has been ‘oing on for the past week, and ts, so say the lealth Commissioners, being done faithfully, but in as quiet a manner as possible, 80 as to give the least possible alarm, No action whatever has been taken by the Board to compel the bone boiling establishments to close up, as they claim there is no danger to be appreliended from them, but the rendering factories have been given a lease of lite to the 15th of next month, when they will have to CLOSE UP THEIR BUSINEAS or be closed by the police. The insp pctoms state, however, that the greatest danger, if the cholera comes, Wili-come from the privies and foul cellars, and that its first ravages may naturally be ex- agi in the slums. They contend that everything being done that can be done to put all the dirty streets in a condition that will not invite disease, and that the good work will be prosecuted night and day till every block it the city is robbed of ita poison breeders, Hon) pertinent to this cholera question the follow- ig extract from ex-Sanitary Superintendent Hai nig Best fit) on cholera will be of interest. In alluding to the escape of the East from the disease in 1867, when in the West the disease was properly treated. he says:— Whether cholera in the United State: ‘ward from its present West remains be seen.

THE REFUSE ESTABLISHILENTS. Movement of the Sanitary Police Upon the Works of the Fat Melters and the Bone Botlers. The order of the Superintendent of Police rela- tive to those odorous nuisances, bone boiling, fat melting, and gut cleaning establishments, has not a yet very sensibly diminished the infinite varicty of stenches which abide in the infested districts, The Sanitary Police visited the great cen- tre of noxious odors, which is bounded by Eleventh avenue, North River and Thirty- seventh and Forty-second streets, yesterday and ‘warned each odor-merchant to reduce, so far as prac- tical, the body and volume of his particular bou- quet; put the effect of the order cannot be percepti- ble for some days, The atmosphere of that neighbor- hood is too heavily laden to relieve itself at once, Fragrance has been too long a stranger to be coaxed into its dark and mysterious alleys by ver- bal orders, You might as well expect THE PERFUMES OF ARABY the blest to take refuge inthe steerage of an im- migrant ship. The refuse utilizers all promised Teady compliance, and continued with increased vigor the noxious work on band, seemingly deter- ed to smell louder than usual for the few hours of undisturbed stench allowed them. This district 1s replete with these odoriferous concerns, fifteen or twenty of the three varieties of bone boiling, fat melting and gut cleaning bein, conducted legitimately by permit of the Board of Health, while as many mofe illicit concerns hide their unseem- liness under ground in dark cellars, although they fail thereby to improve or suppress their odors, With these latter the police can interpose their authority at any time when the smell becomes overpowering to the resident population and complaint 18 made. The noses of the residents, however, are not of the aristocratic sensitiveness which swoons at the opening ofa flower. They are generally humanely adapted to suit THE ODORS OF THR NEIGHBORHOOD, and most of the tenement house families within the odorous area seem to take & pride in its particular pre-eminence, and eenty ada to the opera stench separate odors of their own, ecocted from their sinks and sewers, and proudly displayed in the front gutters. THE PERMITS under which the present refuse concerns are working are those of the old Board of Health, The newly Organized Board has recently issued an order requiring that new permits be obtained, and revoking, alter acertain limit, the old ones. In consequence a large number of appiications fornew ermite have been filed. Before granting them, owever, the Board will order an inspection in each case, upon the result of which the fate of the application depends. By a new arrangement, suggested by the new Board and adopted by a num- ber of the melters, the steam from the refuse is passed through a condenser, wherein a congiomera- tion of disinfectants serve in a mild way to de- odorize the eMuvia of the concerns. The greater ar oeae however, persist in the old plan and revel stench. REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Important Sale of Seaside Property Business Announcements for To-Mor- row. Auction sales of property at a distance generally close at such an unreasonably late hour that a morning journal is debarred from publishing any- thing else but generalities, and particulars always come a day after. Such is the case in the great sale held by Jere. Johnson, Jr., on Saturday last, at Far Rockaway, which in every sense of the term proved a decided success. It was a thorough jubilee” affair—music, dinner, song and busi- ness. Besides this, the sea breeze from old Neptune was soinvigorating that purchasers kept perfectly cool and bought lots at remunerative prices. Probably two thousand persons attended this sale, The first cottage and twenty-four lots were sold to Mr. Cheever, of Rockaway, lor 317,000, The entire catalogue was gone through, and every parcel sold. The jots ranged from $350 to $620 cach. At the close of the sale, a8 18 usual at almost every auction, several soreheads, who lacked spirit to bid on property desired by them, bougnt at greatly advanced rates, while others traded to enlarge the [dys previously purchased. The Neptune Hotel estate was bought by Mr. Peter ODonohue, who at once leased it for five years to an phic Boniface.

OOMPTROLLER’S RECEIPTS. Comptroller Green reports the following amounts paid yesterday into the city treasury :— MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Mayor Havemeyer in the Executive Seat Again. Speculations About the Police Magistracies—The, Bills That the Supervisors Looked at Yester- day—A Snug 'Little “Rake” for the Coroners— Those Unoecupied Court House Rooms—Minor Matters About the Hall. There was comparatively little of general pubiiq interest going on yesterday about the City Hau! Mayor Ravemeyer, fresh from his tour among the mountains of the Pennsylvania coal region, was again at his oMcial post and received a large num- ber of callers who were intent on ‘seeing how the old man looked after hisstrip.” Of course he had a large scattering delegation of gentlemen who! would like to have his influence to secure office tor themselves or their friends, and not a few of them. were harping on the police magistrates question, ag it is with good reason anticipated that at least: one-half of the nominees already submitted will be peremptorily rejected by the Board of Aldermen, Alderman Van Schaick yosterday made some efe fort to have a special meeting called for to-day to. take up the police magistrate nominations, but the, attempt was not successful, and it is now likely that nothing will be cpne until Thursday.. Several of the Aldermen expressed the opinion yesterday that even then there will be no action taken on the nominations, notwithstanding the fact that the Board meets at the unusually early hour of eleven o'clock A. M., and that this hour was fixed with a view to a ‘eld day.” The Board of Supervisors met yesterday after noon and transacted considerable routine business, Supervisor Vance temporarily in the chair. ‘ A petition was received, signed by Justices In¢ graham, Brady, Fancher, Barrett and Davis, of the Supreme Court, asking that the Supreme Court be awarded the occupancy of the two rooms in the southwest corner of the New Court House, for- merly occupied by the Board of Supervisors. They set iorth that the increased business of the Court will not warrant the county in giving away any of the rooms of the building to other branches of the government, and hoped that any application there- for would be denied. The petition was referred to the Committee on County Ofices, Alarge number of bills against the county weré referred to the proper committees, Requisitions for stationery and supplies from the various departments and offices were also referred, A requisition from Recorder Hackett was ra, ceived asking that his room be furnished with a bookcase, a copy of the City Directory and other minor requisites. Supervisor Coorer moved to amend by providing that a copy of the Directory be furnished to each member of the Board. Not seconded, The Recorder's requisition was referred. Supervisor Kocu offered a resolution directing the REMOVAL OF THE SCAFFOLDING about the new Court House. Adopted. Supervisor Coorsr moved that the special order of business at the next meeting be the appoint- ment of three Commissioners of Armories and Drillrooms, Carried. Supervisor Cooper offered a resolution tliat each Supervisor be furnished, at public expense, with @ fg Ae of the City pe Ads jupervisors MORRIS and FALCONER opposed the motion. They thought that members who wanted Directories might procure them at their own ex- pense, Supervisor Cooper thought so too; but if each of the departments was furnished with Directory the Supervisors should have them also, He was opposed, he said, to the whole thing. The motion ‘was lost. Supervisor CoorER offered a resointion that the Bureau of the Collector of Assessments be author- ized to occupy THE LATE SUPERVISORS’ ROOMS in the new Court House, at least during the sum: mer vacation of the courts. Supervisor Br..inas opposed It, and Supervisor FALOONER supported the resolution, Supervisor Kocu moved to lay the resolution on “ the table. Lost. Supervisor BILLINGS, On A Motion to refer, said he had no objection to allowing the Finatce De- pete to occupy the rooms for a few weeks, ut thes was gers in Coes — The resolu tion was referred, Supervisor DTLLINGS tm movi a that Fn committees of the Board be reorgani: according to the new Tules and changed organization and composition of the Board.

A majority report was presented from the Com- mittee on Printing and Stationery adverse: to the bill of M. B. Brown tor printing Calendars of the Marine Court. A minority report was also snbmitted on the same guestion, Claiming that the items. of .the bilt were just and legal charges against the county, Supervisor FLANAGAN moved to adopt the minor. ity report, as a substitute for the majority report, together with its frst recommendation that the claim be audited and paid. Adopted; yeas 9, nays 8, the latter being Supervisors Morris, Falconer and Ottendorier.

It appeared that the work was GIVEN OUT BY JOSEPH B. YOUNG, late Clerk of the Board, and that he was not au- thorized or eee owered to direct such performance.
