SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST IS. 1866. jRMIU SAVANNAH; TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 15, Tlie Drainage of Savannah. It has alwaj s puzzled us to understand how it was that Savannah enjoyed such excellent health with the miserable sys tem of drainage that has been provided for her. The sandy condition of most of our streets and the absence of pave ments tends to absorb a great deal of waste water, which undoubtedly accounts in a great measure for the general good health of the city. In riding through the city one of the most objectionable features is the deep and clumsy gulleys that intersect our streets, and which at night are positively dangerous to eques- triaus or pedestrians. We have also no ticed on Bull street, Whitaker street, Abercorn, Bryan, and other streets, stag nant pools of water, which accumulate after every rain storm for want of a prop er system of drainage. The present im poverished condition of the city treasury of course will not admit of any very ex tensive improvements in this important channel, but we trust at no distant day to record vast changes in our defective street drainage. At the same time we look for the abolishment of those dan gerous man and beast traps that abound at many of our street crossings. We have plenty of granite at Stone Moun tain to answer our purpose. Tax Assessor for First Congressional District of Georgia. Col. Cha'.’H. Hopkins, recently appointed Tax Assessor of Internal Revenue for the First Con gressional Distriot of Georgia, arrived from Washington on his return home yesterday, and will leave for Blaokshear this morning, via the Altamaha, on the steamer Gibbons.

There will be no assessment on inoomes of less than six hun dred dollars, and the law is uniform throughout the United States.

Times, 10th. Great Britain. Ownership of Confederate Government Cotton. [From the Liverpool Post, July 28.] A case of considerable interest arising out of the late A merican war, was incidentally men tioned at the Dock Board yesterday. The board were only concerned with the question to whom they were to give up certain cotton in their bands; but the subject had carried the parties into the Court of Chancery, and the board were liberated from all responsibility in the matter by a decision which had been given on a previous day by Vice- Chancellor Page Wood. 1’he motion before the Vice Chancellor was to restrain Mr. Prioleau, of the firm of Messrs. Fraser, Trenbolm & Co., from parting with or disposing of a freight of cotton, consisting of some 1,800 bales, which had been shipped to Havana to him, as a Confederate agent, to be turned into money for the purposes of the late rebel government. The United States, as plaintiffs, claimed the property; but the de fendant insisted that his title as a successful runner of the blockade was a good one, and that even if this did not hold good, be had a prior claim to the United States, in consideration of the fact that he had lost £20,CM by the Confed erate Government. The Vice-Chancellor's deci sion appears to have been very clear. He said there could be no doubt that the United States were entitled to the cotton, but as to the force of the argument between the Southern Government and Mr. Prioleau, that was a most serious matter, since it was a transaction “between a govern ment defacto and the citizen of a country wholly unconnected with the rebel and de jure govern ments. It could not be doubted that when the trans action was entered upon the cotton was the property of the so-called Confederate States, they having bought it with money levied as taxes. The question then was, in what char acter the Southern Government must be re garded. He held that it could not be deemed a mere band of mauraders, but must be pre sumed to be an actual de Jacto government, exercising authority and receiving submission. What, then, he asked, became of it when its power terminated, and its functions were re sumed by the United States? The Vice- Chancellor considered that there could be no difficulty as to the law applicable to this state of things, for international law had settled that when a de facto government came to an end its property became that of its successors. He considered, however, that subject to any argu ment to be hereafter adduced, when the cause was thoroughly heard; these successors to such a de facto government were bennd by the agreement of those to whom theffcmceeded.— This view had been anticipated in the argu ments before him, and it had been set np in opposition to it that Mr. Prioleau (or Messrs Fraser, Trenbolm & Co.) had taken possession of tills cotton, knowing that he received it from people who were substantial rebels, and conscious at the same time of the lights of the United States as lawful governors of the so- called Confederate Territory. The Vice- Chancellor considered that this proved too much, since if it were correct the United States might at any time diving the war have restrain ed the departure of any vessel acting as a pri vateer against the United States, whenever such vessel happened to be in a British port, simply by filing a bill in Chancery. He put very forcibly the argument that the Confederate Government must be held to be a govermeut de facto, and not a mere baud of ban ditti. because if they had |been a mere banditti, there would have been no rights against them in the United States, but only in the private indi viduals whose property had been plundered. He considered, therefore, that the United States must take the cotton subject to fulfilling the agreement made between the Confederate Government and Mr. Prioleau: but as much dispute would arise in negotiating the settlement of the affair,and as’one half of the cotton appeared to be pretty certainly the property of the defunct government under the agreement and not Mr. Prioleau's, he ordered that Mr. Prioleau should be appointed receiver in the cause, which would enable him to dispose of the cotton and pay all proper charges, he giving security for $20,000, the amount which would probably be found absolutely the property of the United States. We need not tell our readers that this suit is one of a very interesting character, and that the settlement of it is likely to lead to considerable discussion, although, fortunately, the affair is so entirely in the hands of the lawyers that no diplomatic difficulty is likely to arise out of it. At the Dock Board, yesterday, there was no trouble on the subjeot, the board simply being freed by the Viec Chancellor’s deoision from any responsibility in the matter, Mr. Prioleau receiv ing the cotton from them upon the terms of the order of the court, and being thenceforward responsible in the matter. Breckinridge in England. General Breckinridge, Ex-Secretary of War in the rebel government, had arrived at Southampton by the West India mail steamer Shannon. Dr. Colenso. The friends of Dr. Colenso, Bishop of Na tal, had presented him with a sum of £3,330, raised by about 600 subscribers, partly to make up for the loss of his Episcopal income and partly to testify to his services to the cause of free expression of opinion within the Church of England. The Bishop was about to proceed to Natal. The War in the Platte Region. The Army and Navy Gazette, in alluding to the impending war in the Platte region, points out that England may possibly be involved in the fray on account of her large commercial relations with all the leading States on the Platte. Dr. Pritchard. Dr. Pritchard, who poisoned his wife and mother-in-law, was executed at Glasgow on the 28th of July, in the presence of an im mense crowd, estimated by some at nearly 100,000 people. The wretched man, when on the scaffold, briefly acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and met his fate in a calm and stoical manner. Constance Kent to be Transported. Constance Kent would shortly be transport ed to Freemantle, Western Australia. It is said that the information that her life had been spared produced no visible effect upon her when it was communicated. The Great Western Canada Railway. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Coun cil had confirmed the decision of the Court of Error, in refusing a new trial on the applica tion of the Commercial Bank of Canada, ap pellants, versus the Great Western Railway Company of Canada, respondents. Appeal dismissed, with costs. The claim of the bank against the railway company was for $945,000. Egypt. The abatement ot the cholera at Alexandria is confirmed. There had been in all only two deaths in the American community, viz : Mrs. Lansing, wife of Rev. Gulian Lansing, American mission ary at Cairo, and Mr. W. C. Pangelaki, a natur alized citizen, at Alexandria. Turkey. Cholera continued to spread in Constantinople. Tbe daily average of deaths was 45. Germany. A Weimer dispatch says it was officially stated qhat a good prospect exists of a meeting between the Sovereigns of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony, at Salzburg. Austria.

Nsw York, Aug. 10, The price of gold opened this morning with some appearance of firmness at 144 1-2 per cent., but the free supply which appeared in the gold room induced lower bidding before 3 o’clook, the last price being 143 7-S per cent. The Customs demand this week averages over $400,000 per day, but this is partially neutralized by some further daily sales for Treasury account. These sales began about the 21st July, and will probably average to the 15th August about $300,000 per day; producing to the Treasury a sum sufficient to pay on that day $10,950,000 Currency Interest due on $300,000,000 of 7-30 per cents.

A brief Queeustown telegram reoeived by the Cuba relieves tbe piessuro of public expectation in regard to the fate of the cable, and brings with it a disappointment whioh will be universally and deeply felt. The Great Eastern seems to hnve proceeded on her voyage successfully up to tbe 20th nit. At that date all was. reported going on well and favor ably. On Sunday, tbe 30th, tbe day on which tbe Cuba called at Queenstown, a brief dispatch was received, announcing that, after 700 miles had been paid ont—150 being the work of Saturday, the 20th—insulation was lost. The closing words of the dispatch are these : “Cause unknown. Far ther particulars haye not transpired.” Those who may still cherish a vague hope that the break may be reparable will find nothing to enoourx age that hope in the history—which we pub lish to-day—of the first abortive attempts (of eight and seven years ago) to lay the cable.— There has either been an undetected flaw in the wire and its coating, or the payment ont on the 29th, which, it will be seen, was at the rate of six miles an hour, involved a strain upon the cable which it was sot calculated to bear. We shall not jtaave long to wait for further particulars. The great Eastern could have been but little over two days’ sail (with her full steam E ower on) away from Valentia. She would be ack there in time for the particulars of her pas sage to be forwarded by the next Southampton steamer, the Bremen—due at Cape Race to-mor row or Saturday. Some of the London journals—whether justly or not—seem to think that the company feared the discovery of such flaws or weaknesses in the cable as have led to the deplorable result report ed.—N.
