Increase of Cholera.
Philadelphia, Oct, 3.—The cholera is increasing
in this city, yesterday there were 40 cases reported
to the board. During the past few days several fatal

elaboration of argument.
“C. S.” Will not engage to enlighten “A.
Citizen’’ as to the truth of rumors floating
about town personal to Aldferman Schley.
Ha de^ls in something more substantial
than rumors—facts aad argUmeSt. *
With regard to that mass of filth, Ac., we
find on page 12 of the report of the commit
tee off the Georgia Medical Society 'fAe; fol
lowing: “We do not undertake to say by
whose agency this nujsatlce, to -committed,
hut we are of the opinion that, let the tres
passer be who he may, he should be called
upon to remove what h'e has-caused4o.be
there Ideposited, and recommend that the
attention of the Board of Health, and through
it that of the City Council, be culled to the
nuisance, with the recommendation .that the
■originator of it be called upon to remove it."
There is some difference between a call upon
Council to perform an act and a recommen
dation that some other party (not yet dis
covered) he called upon to do it, though ‘ 'A
Citizen” may be incapable of disowning it.
It is a physical impossibility for carts to
cross the bridge which formerly afforded ac
cess to the place, where this deposit isj..re-
cently, however, carts have crossed the
ditch, at a point where the earth has filled
in; but when the work of reopening and
deepening this. ditch, now in progress, is
completed, crossing at any point will be ren
dered impossible, and * ‘A Citizen” will lose
this fruitful theme and source of his capital.
It would doubtless have been very grnj-e-
fyiug to “A Citizen” if Council had had ap
propriated several thousand instead of two
hundred and fifty dollars to defray the ex
penses of elaborating a plan for a system of
sewerage and drainage. The amount, how
ever, seems to have bpe» amply sufficient,
aud this evinces the foresight and judicious
economy of those from whose ■ guardianship
“A Citizen' 1 seems so anxious to get the
Board of Health.
“C. S.” concurs heartily iu the encomiums
of a citizen on the “Report of Sewerage and
Drainage,” and it may gratify the family
pride of “A Citizen” lo be assured that “C.
S.’’ sincerely appreciates.very highly, ihe
indefatigable energy and enterprising in
dustry of Dr. Waring. Yet, to be candid,
he must say that it smacks a little of “ego’’
to observe the capital . I gtaring so con-

ful' what position they will next assume, but
we shall not he greatly surprised to find them
fol lowing the leadership ot Wendell Phillips,
in demanding the impeachment ol President
Johnson. Phillips is the real leader of the
Radical party, although he is usually a few
mouths in advance of the maiu body. He
was the first to cry out for emancipation; be
was the first to demand suffrage for the
tteedmen, and bow he is the first to declare
in favyr of impeachiug the President. The
Radicals affect lo disown Phillips as a mem
ber of their Darty. They call him a fanatic,
and in Boston they have just refined to sup
port him for Congress, on the ground of his
fanaticism. But somehow they always fol
low him sooner or later, and it' they do not
eventually screw their courage up to the
point of demanding impeachment, we shall
he mistaken. Phillips gives them an idea,
and they act toward it something like the
trogs in the fable acted toward the log which
Jupiter gave them for a king. They are at
firat frightened at it; theQ they draw near
and touch it gingerly, and finally they plant
themselves upon it and look to their Jupiter
for something new. Just now they would
not endorse the project of impeachment.
Tueir courage has not yet reached the point
of taking so hold a step as that; but it re
quires no great foresight to see that the pre
sent enmity of the Radicals toward the Pre
sident will grow in intensity, that the next
session of Congless will devdope and expand
the quarrel wnich was inaugurated at tbelast
session, and it is not improbable that in the
heat of party passion the attempt at im
peachment may be made. Does any one,
suppose that the Radicals would be content,
eveu if the C-institutional Anendment were
adopted by every Southern State ? Is it sup-
j posed by any one that they would then l*«

gressive. It must go on from one degree of
Radicalism lo auoiher until It is slopped in
the course, and then its end will come. The
C jnscrvaiive people of the Country should
ponder over and reflect upou this subject
uow; lor Radicalism, like a plant, must either
grow and strengthen or wither and decay,

port that investigation into the fecu of the case ahowa
that the said fire company rendered no service to the
ciqr-from August, I8t»;ia August, 1845; that in Sep
tember, 1865. the United States Provost Marshal ad
judged the title to the property-of the Oglethorpe Fire
Company, then in litigation between’the respective
cLannant-s, and compelled the delivery of the engine
to the present holders, one of the claimants who have,
in 3t>me sort been doing fire duty since October, 1846.
Your Committee conclude that there ia np propriety
in the claim for payment for services from August,
1863, to August, 1865. It further appearing that Coun
cil did on 2d November, 1865, probably without
knowledge of the circumstanced of this company, con

The R-ulica s claim to be the party of pro-.

' - that of the Committee.
The intelligent public Will not be hood
winked by a comparison of the deaths from
cholera in New York during August; with
those ot St. Louis and Cincinnati. Why did
not “A Citizen” compare with the deaths
from cholera in the other Atlantic cities,
Philadelphia, Boston, Portland, Charleston
and - Savannah, instead of with Western
cities, when it is so well known that on the
Mississippi and its tributaries, and ia lime
stone regions, the cholera always prevails,
to a greater extent than on the Atlantic
coast ? _
If “Darby’s Prophlylactic” is not sufficient
ly disinfectant to protect the uncommon
scents of “A Citizen” against the annoyances
of “observable odors,” C. S. must beg to be
relieved from suggesting any other disinfect
ant.
It is gratifying to “C. S.” -to perceive that
the facts which be has thrown out in this
controversy bafl»flolbeo» barren of results.
Even “A Citizen” has been brought to the
rational conclusion that “a Boarf bf:Health
as expensive and cumbrous as that of New
York, for a city like Savannah” will <ot an
swer. Other features much more objectiona
ble than these will deter our citizens from
adopting the schemes of oppression begotten
of those who now figure as the Jacobins ot
the nineteenth century. . Strange how uni
versal, how searching the tjranoy of ftodi
cals! How it brings ;o mind the history of.
tha French revolution, to observe its ramifi
cations throughout the .North, Its pohey
even permeating the minutest departments
of municipal regulation. Independent power
exercised by a Board of Health here would
soon involve it, as that of N«w York, in liti
gation to the extent of a hundred thousand
dollars, growing ont of the arbitrary destruc
tion of private property. Our people knew
too well that the tax payers, and not tfic im
perious authors of the mischief, have to foot
every bill of damages in which a Board of
Health so. constructed ia mulcted.
If “Citizen” will “hands off” and not “pre
judge nor criticise” Tiimself, he may rest as
sured that we will preserve our patience du
ring the incubation of the committee and
await the hatching'of the egg, .before another
word upon the subject. If he continues his

Home for Orphans* They were brought there on Fn-
£ v. When these Iittje’ Kiris came to the Home they
were the picture of misery and want, and not scarcely a
rag on to hide their nakedness; emaciated and sallow,
they looked like living skeletons, and they were cry
ing for bread. The baby, about three years of age,
died on Saturday. The poor -little thing was too near
gone for any human aid to do her an? good. She
begged for bread until she died.
Another one named Liaxie, about seven or eight
years of age, lied on Wednesday. She was a pretty
little girl, but reduced to a mere skeleton. She begged
those around her to give her some meat and -bread to
the last. The other two are still at the Home. It was
thought at first that they would die to, but the oldest
one, a bright, sweet little girl, i9 improving. Her ac
count of the sufferings they underwent is enough to
melt the hardest heart to tears- -how they cried for
bread aud oould not get it-that they had been draw-,
ing rations, but when they all got down sick they
sent their ticket by a negro woman, but that the
ticket was torn up and the^ answer was ‘ no i$ore ra
tions”—aud how their poor sick mother the evening
before she died, with tears sir aming down her cheeks,
pressed them to her. bosom-r-ond much more which
this littie gi*l told me in a straightforward manner,
and which had truth stamjied upon what she said.
The other little girl named Mary, about nine years
of age, is atilFverylow, and it is doubtful if she will
ever get tr#H though she has improved some since
she has t>oert at the Home. She at first begged every
one that came near her to give her seme meat and
bread, as she imd been literally starving.
These arc the plain tacts as they are. They need no
embellishment.

The Radical Policy.—Thad. Stevens, in. the early

of whuM peoptq were colonized, and their property
confiscated, and ti.eir right of citizenship withdrawn
by conquering and avenging Rome.”
Opposed as this due trine is to every element of pub
lic law, i»t variance as it is with the decisions o. the

fatal as it must neeeasarily be to the principles of sell-'
