aa an obstacle to the fixing of a day of

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 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

The miuera did not havo any proof that
the Chiuamen stole the ore, hut resolved
that justice should taka its course. Ac

ie to the interact of the tax payer* of the

We find the Court Home needing some

commend that lb* (tape on the north aide

a nnissnoe to the surrounding neighliors,
end would recommend that water-closets
be pieced in the bsaement of the Court

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.
To the Foreman ami Secretary of this
body we also desire to return onr thank*.

in which he discharges the uneroua duties
