In attempting to lind, however, the
emfboai oapsizrd and disappeared.
In a moment ths people oould bo seen
straggling In the water, and trying to
climb cp on the bottom of the boat.
Several of the gsn'.lemen passengers in
thesbip’d boats which were following,
seeing their wives and children in tbe
water, began to ory ont and wriDg their
hands, and some of them tiled to have
tbe ship’s boats pull into tbe surf; bnt
the officers in command would not allow
ir, and they returned to the ship.
All the boats were then provisioned and
started to go ronad ths island to land on
the north side, bat a fog settling down

New Orleans, July 21.—Five sus
pected cases of fever having recently oc
curred in a creole family near Mississippi
City, the health authorities to-day sent
medical experts by a special train to in
vestigate the matter. Dr. Cboppin, in a
telegram to Dr. Harden, President of tho
Galveston Board of Health, makes the
following statement of the result: Dr.
W. A. Smyth and O. B. White, of this
city, have just returned from visiting the
reported cases of fever in Mississippi
City, on Lako shores, and declares them
to be malarial fever. New Orleans is
perfectly free from yellow fever. Only
eighty-three deaths occurred last week
from all diseases. From a note from
Dr. Smyth, it is learned that there were
three looal physicians with Dr. White
and himself at the residence cf the Creole
family to-day. He say:-: “We came to
the conclusion that the disease is not yel
low fever, but ot a malarial character.
Oae member of the family died last Wed

Memphis, July 21.—Twenty-one addi

In an article on the wild lauds and
bribery case, now pending in the Geor
gia Legislature, the Columbus Times in
dulge3 in some plain speeob, a sample of
which we quote below. It says:
The people of Georgia dislike to be
lieve tneir publio officers are guilty of
swindling and cheating them—yet they
are too intelligent, and have seen too
much of the weakness of official flesh, to
think them inoapable of such things. Tha
people do not believe, with one of the
daily papers published at the State Capi
tal, that Georgia cannot afford to charge
her officers with wrong. Georgia can
afford, if they aro guilty, to convict ev
ery official in her servioa of malfeasanos
in office and sweep them from place, and
pat good men where they now sit, and
she would not weaken her moral attitnde,
before her own people or before the peo
ple of the other States of the Union, by
bo doing. Whenever men in office can
afford to sacrifice their honor, Georgia
can afford, and ehonld not hesitate to
saorifice themes.
Wa mutilate the fair proportions of the
Times still farther by exixaoting the fol
lowing additional chunks of wisdom
therefrom:
Gen. Toomb3 on Railroads.—We pub
lished yesterday a short report of the
speech of General Toombs, made by invi
tation, before the members of the Legis
lators upon the railroad polioy of tho
State. Of course whatever Gsneral
Toombs says is well and forcibly said, bnt
wa oonld not help thinking while reading
his reported remarks that tho members of
the Legislature must have felt humiliated
if not insulted by the speaker. For men
ot intelligence, and with the responsibili
ties of Senators and Representatives on
their shoulders, to sit in their-own halls
and be told by their invited guest that, if
they did not agree with him, they hsd
better resign and go bom?, and send
“niggers” btok in their plaoes, was cer
tainly a most remarkable oiroamstauoe.
Aud what was equally remarkable was
the fact that such “hits” elicited
“laughter” and' “applause.”
We are afraid tbat General Toombs,
who is nr questionably one of tho very
best intellects of the country, is becoming
unduly fond of the “laughter and ap
plause” that is very cheaply found among
those who prefer amusement to instruc
tion. Georgia i3 proud of General
Toombs—she has no sob of whom she is
more proud—bnt she is learning with re
gret that even he can say things on oa-
casiODS when ehe sits in her robes to hAar
him that ara both unwise and undigni
fied.
The General does not like newspapers,
bnt this is an old dislike of his and news
papers havs learned to survive it; yet.
ware it not for some very convenient and
amiable newspaper reporters, who obse
quiously wait at the bick of his chair to
report and print his sayings, the world
would eeon forget the only native adult
in all this country, who U not a citizen of
the United States.
“H. G. W.” in his letter from Atlanta
to the Augusta Chronicle and Constitution-
alisi speaks of a boom for Stephens for
Governor about Atlanta and elsewhere.
He thinks the members of the Legislature
are becoming anxious to ran him. Now,
from this distance, we think that all gam
mon. Tbe members of the Legislators
have enough to do to ran Goldsmith and
tbe witd land matter, the railroad ques
tion, aud the agricultural bureau, with
out bothering their brains about Mr.
Stephens and the Governorship. If Mr.
Stephens wants to be Governor, and is
too modest to publish the fact bimself,
he has other and older friends In whose
hands he would prefer to place himself.
We venture to say that Mr. Stephen,
does not want to be Governor of Georgia.
A Macon correspondent of the Savan
nah News writes that “there are rumors

A Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Sews, who, it may ba presumed,
is near enough to the parties named in his
communication to know something of
which he write?, communicates the fol
lowing:
Thas either Mr. Stephens or Senator
Hill havo agreed to be friends and “let»
by-gones be by-gonee," with a view of coo
operating in tne organization of a parts
in Georgia in opposition to the organized
Democracy of the State, is as falsa and
malicious as it is mischievous; and wa
have no idea thateuoh atheughtbad;
ever entered the brain of either of those
gentlemen, and muoh less to countenance
it since it has been suggested. That they
are friends of Dr. Felton is true, and wa
have no doubt wonld be pleased to see
him made Governor of Georgia, bnt they
will never bo far stultify themselves and
their records as to connive at or in the
least conntenanoe the organization of an
independent party in Georgia in order to
accomplish this result. If accomplished
at all it must be accomplished within the
pale of the Democratic organization.
Nor do wo believe that Dr. Felton, how
ever anxions to secure the gubernatorial
chair of Georgia, believes for one moment
that he could secure this boon by any
other means.
It it is desired that the State and the
Democralio party shall be pnrged of oor--
raptions and corrupt politicians, tbe good
people of Georgia must do this within
the Democratic organization. No men-
