J. * 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 .

Ills uouiewuat doubt 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 ?

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 Are, however, he must expect a return whilst we have “a shot in the locker. Como* Sense. Messrs. Editors: Will you please publish the fol lowing statement of facts, which the people of Mont gomery ought to know: About two or three wrecks ago, in a house near the fair grounds, a woman was found dead on the floor. $be had fallen from the bed and muet have died dur ing the night.. Around her lay four little daughter the oldent one about twelve years of age. Daybreak to Ihein their mother’s dead body lying on me But lhis was not all; these little girls lying •erouud her were dying; yea, dying for the prsnt of bread and attention. In this fir they were found and brought by some one, in a little cart to ^Bishop Coop’s Home for Orphans* They were brought there on Fn- £ v. When these Iittje’ Kiris came to the Home they were the picture of misery and want, and not scarcely a rag on to hide their nakedness; emaciated and sallow, they looked like living skeletons, and they were cry ing for bread. The baby, about three years of age, died on Saturday. The poor -little thing was too near gone for any human aid to do her an? good. She begged for bread until she died. Another one named Liaxie, about seven or eight years of age, lied on Wednesday. She was a pretty little girl, but reduced to a mere skeleton. She begged those around her to give her some meat and -bread to the last. The other two are still at the Home. It was thought at first that they would die to, but the oldest one, a bright, sweet little girl, i9 improving. Her ac count of the sufferings they underwent is enough to melt the hardest heart to tears- -how they cried for bread aud oould not get it-that they had been draw-, ing rations, but when they all got down sick they sent their ticket by a negro woman, but that the ticket was torn up and the^ answer was ‘ no i$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.
