Acvicaa from Waahington indioaU that Mr. Kelley'a 8. <!li eonrertibie bond scheme will be defeated—if not in the House, eerUinly in the Senate. The extreme “inflationiaU" regard it aa only a partial uiaaaura of ralief, and are not willing te accept in fnll of their demands ; and the President's financial party will oppose it aa an obstacle to the fixing of a day of roautuption, with which they wiab to hnmbug the eountry. Tub Brunswick Ap/eal givoa tho follow, log additional particulars of the fire in Darien, concerning which we bed a brief dispatch the other day : The alorea of A. A U. Strain, J.

DirTHant*.— 1 There was a discussion of the nature of this terrible disease by the New York Public Health Association on Thursday night last. We copy from a paper reed by Dr. J. Lewis Smith: “Dip. Iberia is classed with aoarlet fever and measles, which it somewhat reaemblea. It frequently enauea after those diseases, and ia the canae of death. Diptheria may he called an eudemio in this eity. It At tacks inflamod surfaces more readily when the ayetem ia at low vital obb, It ia never ■pread by being carried in the clothing of a hoalthy person. Ita spread ia due to being carried about by those who have dipththeritie inflammation. The eree of contagion ia praotioally limited to tho room in whioh the petiont ia confined." Tux Now York llrjmblic says: “William Craft, a colored gentleman from Ueorgia, delivered an nddroaa before the Union League Club last evening, his subject be ing the condition of tile South. He re lated many inatanooe of nmrder and arson committed by members of the White League in the viciuity of his homo, whioh he was personally cognizant of." Where ia William Craft's home in Ueor gia, and in what locality woro these mur ders committed V Why cau't lUdical out rage ahriokora, when thoy go to Waahing- lou or further North, be compelled, like Tilton, to give a “bill of particulars," specifying names, dates and localities'/ la any one juelifiod in bolieving them until they do so ? There are no “white leagnee” in Georgia, and there have beau no mnrdara committed in thia State on aoeount of politics, unless two or three Democratic negroes have been killed by Badioals for voting with the Conserva tives. That Bacon, Auain.—A special dis patch from Waahington to the New York Tribune states that on Thursday a re port from the War Department was pre sented to tho Speaker of the House, in anawer to au enquiry concerning the dis tribution in Alabama of that bacon for the sufferers by tbo “overflow." The re port oovored letters from Captaiu Geutry, who was detailed to look after the baeou. He states that Charloa Hays controlled the distribution in West Alabama, and aunt mush of the baeou to points “entirely without the overflowed region. '’ He also had much trouble about Iho bncoueoat to improper places by order of I'elbaiu aud llapier. The only fact not already known to oar readers, which ho communicates in refereuce to Iho buoou appropriated by the two laat-uaraod Congressmen, is that “at Greenville a distribution was made on the day beforo tbo election, thus at tracting all the negroes of the oounly to town, and iusnring (Loir votos the noxt day." We shall now aeo whether tha Radical Congress will “onload” by casting out Hays, Felharn aud ltapier. The Athena Georgian says at a sole last week in Oglethorpe county, land ranged from three to nine dollars per sera. Five hundred and twelve aharea of Georgia railroad stock sold at from 97.1 to 7t!J per share. Augusta factory stock brought $120 per share. Athena bank Block brought 980 per share. MUIMASA. The Conservative papers of New Or leans regard the notion of I be Beta rn lag Board on Friday, refusing to eonnt the vote, of Caddo parish, as n lotion at Ike design fe detent tha people. The Bupetoieor ’of Ci pariah carried the official return to Mow Orleans himself, and Instead el deliver ing it to the Board, retained it for sale to the highest bidder! —so the papers hive repeatedly charged. The Conservative member of the Returning Board aud the Conservative eonnsel acting with httn, made several efforts to obtain tha return In the hands of the Supervisor, bat with out effect. They then obtained from tho Returning Board an agreement to count the original returns if thay would procure them duly authenticated. So they sent to Shreveport and brought the clerk of the court, with tha original returns made to him, to New Orleans, and offered them to the Board. The returns did not differ at all from the unofficial reports known to be correct, nor from the duplicate returns which the Supervisor had in his pos session when be left Ceddo. But notwith standing these feels, tho Board on Friday refused to roceive and count the vote of Caddo. The elerk of the eonrt then opened the returns in the presence of the Board, and declared the result, hut they would not alter Iheir resolution. The counsel ftr the conservatives reminded the Board that in other cases it had sent to the elerka and obtained the returns when the supervisors failed to make them. The Board admitted those precedents, but vtill rofnsed to reeeivo the vote of Caddo—the President of the Board, Gov. Wells, saying “there wee no use in press ing tha question of counting it; he hod made bis ruling, and it ahoutd be abided by I" The Conaervatives then entered n protest. The Board has now gone over ell the returns, but has not passed upon Uiou of twenty-aix parishes, classing them u contested." 1 hem parishes are nearly all Conservative, and gava Conservative majorities in the late election. They are: Aaceuaion, Assumption, Carroll, Terro- bonno, Avoyelles,' Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, Grant, Iberia, Jackson, Lafourche, Natch itoches, Knpides, lted Biver, Sabine, St. Helena, Bt. Martin, St. Tammany, Vor- non, Webstor, Winn and Lincoln. The action of the Board in the case of Caddo—being considered a clear indica tion of a purpose to defeat the will of the people by rofuaiug to count their votes created much exoitement in New Or leans on Friday. This excitement wsa tho cause of the “argent requeat” that day mads to Uen. Graut that he should place troops in Iho Btate-bonse. A num ber of ltadioal . politicians of Louisiana had before that day repaired to Washington to prepare the President for action to salt the emergency. It now remains to he seen what effect hia anawer to thia application will have upon the Re turning Board. Ho ia reported by tele graph aa having aaid that he would not provide against threatened danger, but if Tioleuce occurred he would suppress it. It ia doubtful whether this nnawer will be entirely aalisfaotory to Kellogg and tbo Board. In view of the temper of the Conservatives, it may he about u consol ing to the ltadioal leaders aa was the Irish landlord's aasnranoe to hia tenants: “If any one shoots you for occupying the house, I'll prosecute him.” We make thia brief statement of the present phase of the Louisiana case, be cause we consider it quite likely that the opposing parlies are again to come into violent conflict. Thore dooa not seem to be any other remedy loft to the Conserva tives, and they throateu to atriko at the head and front of tho usurpation the next time they are provoked iuto » conflict. To ahow their foeling at this time, we Oopy from the Hnllrtin of Saturday the closing paragraph of ita notice of the notion of tho Board on the previous day: “Scorn will nut reach these men any E re than tha law, hut the popular inilig- ion can find a mode of expression inst the guilty, and tbo recipients of the profits of their crime—sn expression direct, decisive and summary.—that shall make even theso in luratud, unscrupulous knaves deplore the day that gave them birth. We repeat, gentlemen of the Re turning Board, you rob the peoplo of their rights if yon take from them, through any logal quibbles, the fruits of the victory they have achieved, and you must realise and hear tha grave responsi bility of yonr acts." Alabama Legislature' Satunlag, lith.—The Seuate refused, by a vote of 18 to 14, to reeoaaider the voto of Friday on tha bill to keep in the eountiea, separate and apart from other fnnda, the monies oolieoted for pnblic school purposes. The hill for the relief of Henry W. Battle, of Barbour oounly, who ia a minor eleeted magistrate, was passed ; also the bill to abolish the Crim inal Court of Itullook oounty ; also a bill to prevent camping within one-half mile of Fredonia school in Chambers county ; also the House bill to repeal the Alabama Ku-Klux law; also a bill “lo prevent the burning of any ear, oar train, cotton or corn houso or pen"; also the bill to pre vent any one from knowingly and wilfully carryiug away the timber or rails of another. The House passed, by a vole of .14 to 80, (be bill lo repeal tho Ka-klux law (making the counties responsible.) AU the Democrat* Slid Ur. Wood, lUp., voted for the repeal. Smith, of Bullock, eol’d, ufter speaking in favor of repeal on Fri day, voted against it. Tbo Committee on Couuty Boundaries reported favorably with amendment lo prohibit sale of liquor within three milos of the Agricultural and Meohatiical College in Auburn, Lee county. Auieudiuonts adopted and bill passed. Also favorably to bill to forbid sale of liquor in two miles of Bethel Church, Chambers oounty.

If Mr. Pul len had not raised plenty of corn, proven der and meat, he would probably hare bad* little use fox money “these times." —From the Georgia Foratrr we learn that ^ Primitive Baptist Obnroh in l!er- ricn county, was horned on the night of the 21st nit., and a strange suspicion has arisen that some of Iho obureb members were the incendiaries.

Church at Nashville was read. On tho Tomperunce Amendment of the Discipline, the follow ing representatives of Columbus churches voted aye: Messrs. Dixon, Key, McOehse, Simmons, Brannon and Kilpatriok. Mr. Wright voted nay. On Friday, Prof. A. H. Flewollen, Pres ident of the Andrew Female College, lo cated at Cuthhert, Ga , made an encour aging roport of the condition of tho insti tution over which he preaidos. The re port was referred to tho Committee on Ednettion. In the examination of Elders' characters, when the name of Dr. L.

It ia re ported that soma ore was recently stolen from a gold mine in Sierra oounly iu that State. A number of Chinamen lived in tho neighborhood, and they wore suspect ed of the eriine on gunoml principles. The miuera did not havo any proof that the Chiuamen stole the ore, hut resolved that justice should taka its course. Ac oordiugly, they re-enacted the feat of our teuder-hesrted Tilgrim fathers, who roast ed a l’rqnod village, and set fire to tlie hula of the Celestials. Tbo hilts Woro all ablaze. Chine were skipping around, nud the fan wee at ita height, when a minor came rouping to the hula, ont of breath, to annbuuoa that the real thieves had been discovered end captured. Some of the mob would at this juncture have put out, the fire, but for the cause of a promi nent miner, one John Warren, who argued that if the Chinoee hadn't stole tho ore, they wpuld ateal something in lime, aud that the fire hod better go W Bo the ox- oeraises were continued, aud the Chinese wer- hnrned ont completely. It may be that the Chineae ate something of a peat in California; that they import bad wo men, and work at leaa wagea than the San .Francisco trades-unions, but there ia a certainty that the' whites of Sierra county, :at least, are determined to get even.—Er.

In lb* Jpiuion of thia body, it ie to the interact of the tax payer* of the county that tho supervision and manage ment of the jail remain under the direc tion and oonlrol of the Conuty Commis sioners, as at present. We find the Court Home needing some repaire end improvements, end we re commend that lb* (tape on the north aide of the bouse.be changed, as recommend ed by the last Grand Jury, and that tho honae generally be thoroughly repaired aud painted. We think the privies, in their preeent location, very sunlight ly, and a nnissnoe to the surrounding neighliors, end would recommend that water-closets be pieced in the bsaement of the Court House, and tanks be arranged for a cap. ply of water. We tagged that the Coun ty Commissioners cooperate with the City Council in making these neoeassry im provements and repairs. oaniNAnr, anzdirr axo maoistiatxs' books.

COUNTX OOHHISBIONKXS, Ao. W* oongrstnlste tbs citixena of thia oounty upuu the satisfactory condition of tho finances, which, in our opinion, is dne in n great messnro to the efficient man agement of the County Commissioners. As the term of office of each of the present County Commlsaionere will expire next spring, and a new board will have lo be elected by the Grand Jury at the next May term of the Court, we recommend that the set authorizing the board be so amended as to require the election of their auooaasors for terms of ono, two and three years, aud tha election' of one Oornmie- sioner annually thereafter. We respeot- fully request that our immediate Repre sentatives in the Legislators give this matter their attention. TAX RECEIVE!! AND OOLLECTOR’s BOOKS. The bouks of both the Tax Receiver aud Collector are kept neatly and cor rectly, giving entire satisfaction. The taxable value of land in the county, as reported, has depreciated to the amount of $1)0,OtK) since last return, wbiob, in our opinion, ie fully acoounted for by dam ages done to tho lands by exeesaive rains, and general shrinkages in value. The taxable city property has, however, in creased ia value ubout $300,000, whioh ie aocouuled for, in part, by iuoreaso in value), and by the repeal of the exemp tion of $300 heretofore allowed to oach tax payer. The total assessment for the year for nuuuty purposes ie $41,000; of which $14,000 has been collected, $12,- 975 paid over to the County Treasurer, and $400 lo the Treasurer of Mmaogee Asylum for the Poor. TUBI.IC SCHOOLS. On examining the books of the Oounty Buhuol School Commissioner, we find pro per voucliera for all moneys paid by him. Tbo pro rats of the Btate School Fund for this county, received from the Btate Com missioner, is $1,831.48, All of this fund lies not yet Seen disbursed, owing, we learn, to the failure of half the teacher* to make their reports; end for this reason the average cost of tuition, par scholar, cannot be ascertained at this time. The Commissioner informs ns that thir teen schools for white, and six schools' for colored ohildren have been in opera tion. Tho Public Schools in the city have been in operation eight years, and daring the lest scholastic year 1,992 scholars were in attendance ; the avenge coot per schol ar being only $8 79. This, we think, a very tavorablo exhibit. PUUUO ROADS AND BBIDOZS. From information gained from the County Commissioners, we find that all the bridges in the oounty are in good or- dor. The roads alio are In good condi tion, except the Banders flat on the Cas- seta rued east of Bull creek. Wa reoom- mend this road be put in good oondition aa early aa possible, and suggest that the County Commissioners assist the Road Commissioners in having the same done. POOR HOUSE. We have examined tho Poor Booae buildings and find them in good order. The system of onltivating the lands, adopted by the Superintendent, we ap prove ; and under his care end supervi sion, the Inmates appear oloanly and hoalthy. The books of the Beerstaoy and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees have been found correot, and the money judi ciously expended, proper vonehera being held for the same. Juki rise. The attention of this body haa been called to the fact that the jury tee of threo dollars, collected upon each verdiot rendered iu civil oases, has heretofore been applied to the payment of insolvent costs. It is imr opinion that this fund properly belongs to the eonnty, and should be turned over to the County Treasurer. Our thanks are rendered to the Bolioitor and couuty officers generally' for the cour tesies shown u«, and for their assistance in fscilitatiug us iu tha discharge of onr du ties.
