A Rigid Quarantine Established-De? tention of Steamers and Passengers in the Lower Bay-The Dead Body Found In the Trunk-Prevalence of Ante-Natal .nardu at the North-How Che Cholera ls Solicited to Conte. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] NEW YORK, August 30. The tendency of the New York journalist ls to make a big sensation out of every Item of oews which will bear working up to the point of startling head lines. Charleston, unfor? tunately, has been made to. suffer In reputa? tion, more than she deserves, for the cases of yellow fever which have appeared there. The a'ght editors ol the New York papers have been assisted in their efforts to get up a panic about Charleston by >e malicious public and private dispatches sent here from Wilmington, when these dispatches were representing that our devoted city was being ravaged lrlghtfully by the fever, and that the facts were being ?unpressed by the health authorities, you can i hardly blame the New York newspaper men for making the most of the story. They can? not all be supposed to know the motives "which actuate some rival cities la misrepre? senting their neighbors. The quarantine officers have taken vigorous measures to prevent the introduction of the fever into this port. It is well for all travel? lers coming North to know that for the pres? ent Southern steamers sailing from any of the ports where the fever i9 believed to exist will be detained at quarantine in the lower bay of New York for several days. The South ?Carolina is still at quarantine, though she ar? ty rived on Saturday. The passengers were al T lowed to come up yesterday. The Manhattan arrived off the harbor on Tuesday night. She was boarded from the hospital ships Illinois, and ordered to the lower quarantine, notwith? standing she showed Dr. Lobby's clean bill of health. The passengers will be allowed to come up to the city on Thursday morning, but the vessel, I understand, will be required to discharge her cargo at Bed Hook, the lower .sd of Brooklyn. The admonitions ol the press to Dr. Camo? chan,about guarding against the expected arri ?al of the Asiatic cholera, hasj probably Indue ed that official to be unusually severe to ves ?els from all places where contagious diseases exist Until the dally bulletins from Charles? ton report the absolute disappearance of the fever, therefore, the steamers will be expected to sojourn for a few days, on every trip, tn the lower bay. Captain Tom Lockwood, with a Tiew to improve each shining hour, bas taken on board to-day a qucjtlty of pigments with ? which he proposes to paint up the Adger dur? ing the time he has to lay off in quarantine on the next trip. We are Just now going through a course of the most harrowing and blood-curdling sensa? tions, and the newsboys are happy. We have more steamboat explosions and railroad smash-ups from abroad, and at home a "mvs tory.-' Since poor Mr. Nathan was murdered. In Twenty-third street, by some person or per sons unknown, nothing so dark and terrible has happened in our mid 1 as the tragedy of the body in the trunk. It recalls to the minds of the older inhabitants the Colt and Adams affair of thirty years ago. Colt (a brother of the pistol manufacturer) murdered Adams, and boxing up his remains endeavored to get them out of sight by shipping them to another ?art of the country. So this fiend. "Dr." osenzwelg, tried to dispose of the body of the ?roung lady whom he had killed bv stuffing lt nto a trunk and checking lt to Chicago via the Hudson River Railroad. The discovery of another murder of the same character, by the notorious Madame Yan Buskirk, of Bleeker street, bas opened up a ^discussion upon the terrible secret crime which . jTet&iks abroad throughout the North, not mere? ly through the wickedness of so-called physi? cians, but with the concurrence of thousands of respectable men and women who are inte? rested. The South, I am glad and proud to believe, is almost wholly free from this crime; and you, who know ?o little about it, would be astounded If you really had revealed to you the extent to which lt exists at the North. In Boston, and Indeed throughout the New Eng land States, the practice of ante-natal murder ls so common, even among people ol social position and members of the churches, that lt is talked about Just as freely as any other every-day topic. Doubtless thousands of peo? ple In the North look upon lt as no crime whatever, while others regard it as merely venal-certainly not as wrong as drunkenness or gaming. That I am not wild in my assertion?, I refer to the letter address? ed to his Dock by the Episcopal Bishop Cox, o? Western New York, two years ago, on the subject. The Bishop said that the crime exist? ed to a frightful degree among his best people, and he could keep silent no longer. Here is a Add for the reforming energies of such pious persons as General 0. 0. Howard. Senator Harlan, Senator Wilson, and vice-President Colfax, who find so much to torture their loyal hearts In the wickedness which abounds in the South. They rall at their neighbors, while a cancer is at the very core of society in their own homes. The succession of heavy rains which have visited this locality has left the city In a very uncleanly condition, and lt ls evident that if the cholera were suddenly to make a lodge? ment In some of our back slums the mortality would be dreadful. Everybody ls scolding abou'. the condition of Washington and Fulton markets and their neighborhoods. A visit to either would give an observer the most melan? choly forebodings of the future. The Btreets ?round are filled with stagnant puddles, and the gutters reek with decaying vegeta? ble?. The markets Inside actually nave the odor of putrefaction when the weather is hot It ls amazing that the officiels of this great and wealthy city have permitted these nuisances to exist The good adminis? tration of government, so conspicuous in other departments, is singularly wanting in the health board. One would suppose that with all the money at the command of our magis? trates, they would make model markets for New York. It would be a blessing if a fire -should break out in the rookeries on the North Biver, in the neighborhood of Barclay street, -and level them with the earth; and it ls a won? der that they have escaped so long. The authorities are moving at last, and we are promised a sanitary re-olutlon. Nvu. CRIME IX THE STATE. A Shooting Affair In Union. The Times says: "On Friday evening last, .our town was somewhat excited upon the ar? rival ol Mr. F. Wesson, who reported that he had been shot by a man named Collins, form ?e?j from North Carolina, but well known lu this county for the past two years as a ditcher. From what we can learn, lt appears that Mr. Wesson, who resides on tbe plantation ot Mr. D. C. Gist, left this town for his home about ll o'clock in the morning, accompanied by five or six friends. On their way they met this man Collins, and fell Into conversation with him. Collins was under the influence of liquor, and quite talkative. He told the party that he was trying to get away from a parly who accused him of having shot a wagoner the evening pre? vious, near Webster's store. The party con? cluded to return to town with him, but they had not gone far when Collins made an ex? cuse that ne wished to turn Into the woods for a few minutes. Not returning as expected they went in pursuit, Mr. Wesson taking the -road to town. He came in sight ol Collins just below the Episcopal Church. Finding that he would be overtaken, fol lins turned into a lane, supposing lt led Into the woods, but a lenee too high for his horse to jump stopped his progress, and he was compelled to alight. Whether Collins or Weenoo fired first we can sot learn, but both did fire, and Wesson was wounded in the side, and Collins made his es? cape. The ball was extracted lrom Wesson's side by Dr. Thomson, and he is doing well. We further learn that about two years ago this man Collins and his father had a difficul? ty with a man named McIntyre, In North Car? olina, and was compelled to leave that State. On Friday last, McIntyre, and a man named Littlejohn, both having wagons, camped near Webster's store, and while Littlejohn waa cur? rying his mules, some one fired on him, break fg one of his arms and Injuring him badly In leg. The two Collins were seen following me wagons, and it ls supposed they shot Little johu in mistak for McIntyre. The whole mat? ter ls shrouded in mystery. The Collinses were seen on Monday morning, on the Sparlanburg road, above Gist's station. Colline's horse ls her|." FLORENCE IS COMMOTIOS. Negro Civilities to a Detective-Large Robbery and Several Parties Ar? rested. The numerous robberies which have been perpetrated In the neighborhood ot" Florence have at last roused Che losers to action. Several months ago four or uve bags ol' colton were stolen, and nothing was done to secure the robbers. This was followed by other depreda? tions on a smaller scale, which have at last had the effect of stimulating the people to measures with a view of protecting their own and attempting to bring the robbers to justice. Several days ago the residence of Mr. T. M. Rogers, about seven miles from Florence, was broken into and a large assortment of silver plate, consisting ol several dozen of silver spoons and forks, ladles, ?fcc, carried off. A telegram was sent to Charleston for a detec? tive, and Officer Hernandez was dis? patched to the scene of action. He arrived at Florence on Saturday, and accompanied by Mr. Rogers and armed with a warrant from Trial Justice Fludd, of Florence, proceeded to the plantation of Mr. Rogers. One of the robbers, named Louis James, was identified by a peculiar track he made, owing to a de? formity of one of his feet, on the night of the robbery, and to him the officer first paid his attentions. Louis, a black youth of about fourteen summers, was found in a cornfield about dark, and having been arrested was taten to Mr. Rogers's house. On the way thither some negro women discovered the cortege and gave the alarm among the settle? ments. Soon after this, two other suspected negroes, named Patrick Adam and Agrippa Jenkins, were arrested, and the officer, accompanied by Mr. Rogers, and with the four prisoners In cbarge, started lor Florence, seven miles off. The alarm given by the woman spread like wildfire, and soon after leaving the plantation of Mr. R.. the small cortege was encountered on the road by about one hundred Infuriated colored people of all ages and sexes, and armed with every describable weapon. Halting the party, they presented their muskets and threatened to fire; but the small party were not to be over? awed, and drawing their repeaters announced that they were ready for business. This unex? pected show of determination had its effect on the rabble, and giving back a little, they al? lowed the guard and prisoners to move on. At intervals the shouts of the crowd along the road told of the arrival of reinforcements to the mob; but the guard and prisoners were lortunately mounted, and pushing briskly for? ward arrived at Florence with a large mob whooping and yelling at their heels. The prison? ers and guard stopped at the station and were speedily surrounded by their late pursuers, nore infuriated than ever. As their crowd Increased, they began to grow more furious ind threatening, and it is hard to say what would have happened had not Trial Justice Fludd Interposed, and by a short speech in a neasure pacified the colored Ku-Klux. They lld not disperse, however, until the train left, ipon which the prisoners bad been placed by i clever flank movement. The culprits ar ived here yesterday morning, and were duly odged in the Detective office. None of the tolen property has been recovered, but nough has been disclosed to show where lt is, nd who were the thieves. The prisoners are leid for examination under another warrant rom Trial Justice Magrath.

Father, Mother and Child Dead-Rosen? zweig's Servant's Partial Confession Miss Bowlsby's Seducer's Suicide-Dis? coveries In the Murderer's Den. The following particulars ot the Identifica? tion of the body of Miss Alice Bowlsby. of Pat? terson. New Jersey, as the corpse In the trunk, and the suicide of her seducer, are from the New York papers : THE STORY OF THE IDENTIFICATION* of the murdered girl is r. singular one. and exemplifies the very small chances ol the dis? covery of a great crim'i. Among the many who visited the Morgue to see the body, was Dr. Theodore G. Kinne, of Paterson, New Jer? sey. The doctor looked at the body, and turn? ing to Warden Brennan, who accompanied him to the Morgue, ft^d : "I am sure I know whose body that is. It is the body of Alice Bowlsby, a girl I have known, and who resides In Pat? erson." H? recognized it from a vaccination scar on the left arm below the elbow, u most unusual circumstance, and which scar he knew wa? on Miss Bowlsbv's arm in precisely the same place as it appeared on the body in the Morgue. On Wednesday evening Dr. Joseph M. Par? ker, dentist, ot Paterson, with Dr. Kinne and Captain Cameron, proceeded to the Morgue. The body of the girl had been boxed up in the rude coffin for shipment lo Potter's Field, where lt would have been interred in a separate pauper's grave. Warden Brennan took the body out of the coffin and Invited Dr. Parker to examine it. Dr. Parker no sooner looked Into the mouth and examined the teeth than he exclaimed, "My God. this is Alice !" When he grew sufficiently calm lo explain, he said that lrom his own work ns dentist he could swear it was her body. He said lt was he who extracted the molar teeth that were gone, and directed the attention ol Warden Brennan to a scar on the right Jaw, caused by an ulcerated tooth, and also to the filling of two upper teeth In the left jaw. This filling, which the doctor took out, he slated he hud put in, and could swear to. ANOTHER LINE IN THE CHAIN. Inspector Walling at once became convinc? ed that the identification was a real one. These facts are known in regard to Alice Bowlsby: That she was the daughter ot re? spectable persons residing at No. 42 Water street, Paterson, New Jersey; that she bad been on a visit to an aunt in Newark, and left her aunt's residence a week ago Wednesday morning, taking the quarter-past 9 o'clock train, and slating that she was going home; and last, that she never went home, but that coming to New York City all trace of ber was lost, until on Saturday her body was found In the fatal trunk. Drs. Parker and Klnne were questioned as to the dress usually worn by Miss Bowlsby. and among other articles they described a blue silk scarf, which she frequent? ly wore. The Inspector, calling to bia assist? ance Captain Cameron and Sergeant Randall, proceeded to the Rosenzweig mansion and commenced a third and thorough search of every hole and corner In the place, and at length found in a stove a blue silk scarf, which Drs. Parker and Kinne identified to the best of their belief as the one worn by Miss Bowlsby. Then they came to the rear basement, and In the tub at which the servant g'rl Jane John? son was washing on Monday, was a lot of wet clothes. The inspector took each piece out separately and examined lt carefully. Atlast he came to a plain hemmed white lawn hand? kerchief; his keen eye noticed some indistinct marks In the right hand corner; he brought it to the window, held lt up and gave a shout of exultation, for there, plain and tangible, though slightly blurred, were the tell-tale let? ters, the convicting link in the chain of evi? dence against the murderer-"A. A. Bowlsby." BREAE1NO THE NEWS. About 7 A. M. Thursday the news of the Identification of Miss Bowlsby's remains was broken to her widowed mother at Paterson by Drs. Parker and Kinne, who, on the evening preceding, bad identified the body at the Morgue. The grief ol the mother and younger sisters was too terrible tor words to express. Eight days previously Alice had left the home ot her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Williams, in Newark, to return to her mother's house in Paterson. Sue did not arrive home on the day which a letter written to her mother by her had fixed, and inquiries were sent lo New? ark for information ot her. Word was return? ed that she had left Mrs. Wllliams's house, where she had been staying about three weeks, add ought to have arrived home the same day. Then the search for the missing girl com? menced. Her uncle. Mr. Charles E. Sandford, of Paterson; her cousins, Henry Sandford and John Williams, of Newark, and Dr. Kiune, the family physician, gave nearly all their time for several days to en? deavors to trace her. Henry Sanford, on vis? iting the Morgue, thought he st-cognized the body of the then unknown murdered girl, and it was subsequently identified positively by Drs. Parker and Kinne. Until Thursday morn? ing, however, neither Mr. Sanford nor the doctors bad hinted their suspicions regarding the body at the Morgue to the bereaved motli? er. Mrs. Bowlsby, with her three daughters, worked at dressmaking, Alice having been employed recently in an establishment at No. 163 Main street, over the office of Drs. Parker and Kinne. Alice and her sisters were highly esteemed, and not only Alice's mother, but all ber acquaintances, believed her to be strictly virtuous. WHO WAS THE BETRAYER? In answer to inquires made Thursday morn? ing, the friends ot the family state that they could not say who was the seducer of Alice; they suspected a young man whose name would not be given until the Inquest should be held. Dr. Parker was reluctant to give any Information except that the murdered girl was well known to him as a pure, high-minded girl whom he would never have suspected under any circumstances. He thought he could Iden? tify the man who was responsible for her coa? lition when she went to Dr. Rosenzweig's; but tie believed that she had gone there alone, and that the man whom he suspected had nothing Lo do with the murder. The doctor exhibited i photograph of the deceased, a tall, well-form? ed and intelligent looking blonde, with bright, aughing eyes, full lips and smiling face. It .va-* learned by the statements of Mrs. Williams, }f Newark, that Walter F. Conklin had been rery much attached to the young woman, and lad visited her at Mrs. Willlams's house in Newark three days before Alice left for New fork. Mrs. Williams did not hesitate to say hat he was responsible for Alice's misfortune. SUICIDE OF CONKLIN. At 1 o'clock an event occurred in which all he city were convinced that Mrs. Wiliiams's mpposltion was correct. At that hour Conk in committed suicide In Dales's silk mill, where he was employed. A large crowd gathered Immediately uround the building. iud within an hour the news was spread through Paterson. Conklin arrived at the mill ;arly yesterday morning, looking pale and ner? vous. He remained at his desk during the orenoon, conversing but little, and when spo? ken to concerning the absorbing sensation mused by the reports in the morning papers, 'poke of lt as a matter ot no consequence to lim. At uoon he did not go to dinner accord ng to his custom. Whiie the other clerks were I it dinner one of the men employed In the mill i leard a pistol shot. He ran immediately : to the office, and lound no one. but going into the large fire-proof room, where the most val lable silks are stored, on the floor he found Honklin's prostrate form. Blood was flowing j rom a wound back of the left ear, where the juliet entered. A revolver was found on the : loor beside him. When the physicians arriv- : ;d they found that the wound was lata!, the Mil having lodged in the temple. Within half 1 tn hour he was dead. Coroner Butterworth 1 vas immediately summoned, and viewed the ] jody. In one of the pockets was lound the ' ollow'ng note, In Couklin's handwriting : 1 ?.I have long had a morbid idea of the worlli essnc.-s of life, and now to be obliged to tes ify in this affair and cause unpleasantness in , ny family, is more than life is worth. "Good-bye, dear father, mother, brother and < sister. WALT." I In his pocket a card was lound, on which I was written, la his own hand, "li? E. 24th ' st." i About Miss Bowlsby's movements otter she i eft Mrs. Willlams's house In Newark, but little < jan be learned. Her mother, who went to ? Sewark with her, returned home, having left i Alice only money enouzh to pay her fare from Newark to Paterson. When she left Mrs. WU liam's house at 9 o'clock on Wednesday last, she had only eighty cents. She could not. therefore, have paid Rosenzweig the amount which he would be likely to have demanded. FACTS AND INCIDENTS. On Monday, the 21st ult., Miss Bowlsby was met, In company with another Paterson woman, by Wm. J. Healey, ol 82 Main street, Paterson. Mr. Healey states that he met Alice twice In Broadway, near St. Paul's Cnurch. The woman who accompanied her he knew, but cannot remember her name. Conklln ls known to have cone to New York on the fatal Saturday, returning in the evening. His father ls one of the owners of the Dale Silk Mtll. where Conklln was employed, and the latter drew a good salary as book? keeper. On Wednesday evening, while Drs. Parker and Kinne were looking at the remains of Alice In New York, Mrs Bowlsby and young Conklln were conversing about her In Pater? son. Conklln called to Inquire if anything had been heard from her, and appeared to be con? cerned for her safety. Mrs. Bowlsby, who was almost crazed with alarm for her daughter's ?a(etv, suggested that the body found In the trunk might be hers. Conklln said, "Oh, no; that couldn't be Alice." Conklin was about twenty years of age. He had visited Miss Bowlsby for over two years, but had not confined his attentions exclusively to her. He visited Europe last year, but re? turned in September. lesumlng upon his re? turn his Intimacy with Miss Bowl9by. He was a yoing man of good appearance, tall and well proportioned, and dressed with scrupu? lous neatness. In the mill where he worked no one knew of his acqualntaece with Alice Bowlsby, and with the sad news of the suicide came the first Intimation to Mr. Conklin. Sr.. of his son's intimacy with lite murdered young woman. CONFESSION OF ROSENZWEIG'S SERVANT. The woman, Jane Johnson, servant at the house of Rosenzweig, told the following story to Warden Brennan, in a cell at the Eighteenth Precinct Police station last evening, alter viewing the clothing found in the trunk, and hearing a description of the body lt had contained: "On last Wednesday afternoon a young lady, like the one you have described, entered Dr. Rosenzweig's house, at No. 687 Second avenue, hy the parlor door. After en terlng the door she was immediately taken up stairs by the doctor, and taken into his private room. The doctor came into the house, on the run, at the basement door, about two minutes before tbe yoong lady came Into the parlor door. He walked to the kitchen door and looked in at me-something very unusual for him to do. To the very best of my opinion he closed the kitchen door after looking at me. When he left. I opened the door easy, and looked after him. I listened, and ran up to the parlor floor, when I saw the young girl going up to the second floor. I took no more notice of that affair on that day; but I listen? ed to Fee If I could hear her going out, which I failed In doing. The same afternoon I asked Rosie, the doctor's daughter, who that ladv was that went up stairs. Rosie replied that she was a patient who wanted to see her father. I again asked Rosie, on the following day, il that lady was In the house yet. She answer? ed, "Oh. no; her friends took her awav last night." I said, "How could she go in all that rain, when you told me she was so very sick ?" Rosie said, "They had a nice carriage and wrapped her np so she could not take cold." I thought all that story was true until this ex? citement took place. After the lady came to the bouse. Rosie went immediately up stairs and remained there forsome time; then she returned to the kitchen. In the evening. Mrs. Rosenzweig called to me from up stairs to make a cup of tea, and to have Rosie bring lt up to her; I thought this very queer, as I al? ways took Mrs. Rosenzweig's meals to her. On Saturday morning Mrs. Rosenzweig came to me and said that she wished me to hurrv up with the kitchen work, so that I could take the children out riding; I got through the work about 12 o'clock and left the house with Rosie and the two children. It waa a great Dleasnre to me to go out In the air, lt was so rarely that Mrs. Rosenzweig allowed me to leave the house. I remained away about one hour and a half. This ls all I remember of the circumstances connected with the girl being In the house. I recognize thecomtorter (quilt,) striped on one side, with large figures, which was found In the trunk, as one that was used upon Mr. Rosenzweig's bed. The chemise found In the trunk I never saw before; It probably belonged to the young lady; I recognize the diaper found lu the trunk as one belonging to Mrs. Rosenzweig's baby. I never saw the" trunk before. TUE TTE A THEE TUTS DAT. WASHINGTON, September 3. The barometer will probably fall on Monday from New York and the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River, and still more so Irom Lake Superior southward. Pleasant weather will probably continue, without important change, from Lake Huron to Tennessee and eastward; cloudy weather, with occasional rain, on the tmmedlate Gulf coast; Increasing cloudiness from Illinois to Kansas and northwards, and possibly a few local rains for the latter region.

THE GREAT AMEMCAX CORNFIELD.-TWO iflhs of the corn product of the United States is raised in Illinois, Missouri ami Iowa The bushels last year were : In Illinois, 121,500,900; In Missouri, SO.?OO.OOO; in Iowa, 73,500,000. But as Illinois was then the louth, Missouri :he filth, and Iowa the twelfth State in popula? ron, the number of bushels to each inhabi? tant were : Illinois, 35; Missouri 57; Iowa G3. So Iowa is trana proved to be the corn Stale of .lie Union. -W. W. Story, the sculptor, lately told a cor? respondent ol the Methodist why tie worked n Rome, and not in America. The slrongest )f all his reasons was that, in Am-rica, one Uways lias the feeling of hurry. "The busy lie at home," he says, "drives one too rapidly, iou always feel the crack of the whip behiud pou. The very air, as yet, ia laden with too nuch bustle and excitement for tue true dls :lple of art. Your nerves are always over itrained, and you wear out before your ideals ire realized." THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS. The Diplomatic Conference. LONDON*, September 2. The conferences at Gasteln were to confirm an agreemect between Austria and Prussia on some important principles of policy. The de? tails of the agreement were written down on both sides, and the two drafts compared and adjusted, and are in the nature of a treaty, therefore, but not of a formal treaty. The functionaries whose services would have been necessary in the drawing of a formal treaty were not present. Thus the secret of the exact terms Is better kept. The statement of the policy by the Vienna cabinet In December last created a situation for Austria and Prus? sia which called for a more accurate definition of their relations than could be secured by diplomatic notes. The Gostein conferences enabled the two chancellors, by confiden? tial conversations, to reach an under? standing exactly how the interests of the two powers could be realized to their mutual advantage, and now be utilized In dealing to? gether against other powers. The Rouman? ian railway difficulty has thus received a satis? factory solution in the interest of general peace, and this is regarded as a happy augury for the application of similar joint action in future difficulties. The league for maintain? ing peace means war against any power that can be provoked to disturb the peace. Rus? sia, knowing and understanding this, makes vast preparations for war. Prospective Deliverance of Rome. The Pope receiving the homage of the Papal Guards, says : "I cannot name the day of our deliverance, but the time is not remote when wo shail issue together from our prison." General News.

The Assembly accepted the Presidency ot Thiers not because lt was content with Thlers's term, or afraid of his resignation, but because they could get no one else to take his place. Due D'Aumale's final refusal determined the Assembly to support Thiers. McMahon, Chan Marnier and President Grevy refused to vote. Grevy said that he was a better Republican than Thiers. Others said they were unwilling to become a pretext lor disorders. Thiers sent to the Assembly his first message since the prolongation ot his power. He thanks the Assembly for ils expression of confidence, re? peats hts protestations of devotion to the coun? try, and hopes to succeed in the rehabilitation of France.

THINGS IN LOUISIANA. No Yellow Fever In New Orleans-The Sweets or Rudlcal Rule-Filthy Con? dition of the City-Ruffianly Officials -A Judge's Opinion of the Official Rob bery. NEW ORLEANS. September 2. An official note from Dr. Russell, secretary of the board or health, states that there is not a case of yellow fever In New Orleans. The Tribune, commenting on the sanitary condi? tion of the streets, says : "A Providential in? terposition, perhaps, has kept sickness from our doors. The health of the city has been preserved In the face ot the most utter disre? gard of sanitary precautions. In many locali? ties citizens are compelled to close their doors and windows, endure a want of ventilation and the excessive heat of the summer nights, that the noisome smells from the streets be exclud? ed. All branches oi the city, as well as of the btate government, seem characterized by Im? becility, corruption, fraud or violence." The grand iury, reporting the condition of the Boys' House ot Refuge, states that the treatment of the Inmates, by Henry, superin? tendent, and Schwind, his assistant, deserves lo be stigmatized as "brutal and ruffianly in the extreme, and the sooner a jail wall ls placed between society and Messrs. Henry and Schwind, the better It will be for society." Judge Abell, ol the First District Court, calls I he attention of the grand jury to the action of ?tate Treasurer Dubuclet in refusing to pay ariginal creditors of the State, and compelling them to sell claims to his friends. The judge says: "The State Treasury was once the pr:de tjfthe State, and the financial agent ot her :reditors has been literally turned over to tax ?atlierers, brokers, shavers and hang? ers on. I have presided long lu this court, and have some Idea of the depredation and plunder ot burglars, thieves, ?kc, and am satisfied that the official? Df i he State have, In two vears, plundered the Slate of more than all the thieves. Sec., for the ast quarter ot' a century. Fraud, peculation, oppression, extortion and blackmailing is re iorterj to in most unscrupulous manner. The millions reaped by the two per cent, tax, and the vast amount of licenses, will be absorbed, it least one-half of it being consumed by cor? rupt ofllcials aud merciless brokers, and those official economists who manage, out of a sala? ry of less than ten thousand dollars, to save a inarter of a million." He regards the laws os inadequate, with the present J ury system, to sheck or punish these officials; advises the wise men of the State to counsel together for ls redemption, and, In conclusion, says : "The darkest page in the history of the State is now being made up in darkness, which, I repeat, when deciphered, will show, at present, bank? ruptcy, and, perhaps, in the luture, repudia? tion.'" ADVANCE rs* THE PK'CE OF COAL.-The large public sale ot 140,000 tons ot Scranton coal, heretofore noted as pending, came off at New Fork on the 29th Instant.
