Forney** Lait Slender—A Cerd from
Howell Cobb.
The New York World, a few days before bis
death, published a card from Howell Cobb
which will be found on the first pageof to-day’s
issue of this paper. It has reference to the
Cabel slander which the infamous Forney had
published, and is so complete a reputation of it,
that if the aforesaid Forney had eng emotion of
shame left in hi9 corrupt nature, he would pub
licly retract and thus do justice to the honored
dead. But no one who knows the man—creature
. it a more proper term—will expect this of him,
and liar he will stand branded the remainder of
liis ill-spent life. Our readers will remember
that a refutation of the “Cabel slander” appear
ed in the editorial columns of this journal ft
few days alter its utterauce by Forney, and now
under Gen. Cobb’s own hand, perhaps the last
he ever penned, it is again refuted. We invite
the attention of our readers to the article to
which we have referred.
The Savannah Republican
In Monday moruiug’s issue, Col. J. K. Sneed,
announces in a salutatory to its readers, that he
again assumes control of the Savannah Republi
can. Especially has Savaniiah cause lo congratu
late itself upon this announcement, while its for
mer numerous readers throughout the State will
likewise do so. Most cordially do we welcome
him back into the “corps editorial” of the Geor
gia press. There were times, iu the past, when
we differed on political questions, and lelt that
we had a “foemen worthy of our steel” to com:
bat. There were limes, too, in the past, when
we recognized him as an ally, and iound none
more able than he The future will speak for
itself,- but, judging from the past, and from the
enunciations made in his graceful salutatory,
our missions are alike, and, as we feel impressed
our duty to the South and especially to Georgia,
the same. We repeat, mo3t cordially do we wel
come our old and able compeer back again into
the editorial fraternity of our once pioB
perous and noble old commonwealth.
Mr. Rob^J^Walker, Ex-Secretary of tbe
Treasury under President Polk, (and whether he
is or not the financial prodigy hkf friends pre
tend, he is certainly familiar with the details
the Treasuijf Department,) has recently. ;ma
an examination of the books oL the
with the approbation ^ Secretary
and has published the result, not'as a
an estimate, or ft contingent calculation, but
an authentic rccord oi accomplished lac s.
Mr. Walker’s disclosures are even more. ap-
palling to the tax-paying masses than Mr. Del*
mar’s statistical revelations. Mr. Walker shows
that on the'31 St of August, 1888, the publie
debt was overone hundred and kitty eight mil
lions of dollars greater than it was on the 1st of
April, 1865, the rate of increase being more than
four millions a month, or almost fifty millious a
year. Since the 1st of May of this year the
debt has increased at the rate of nearly nine
millions per month, and is now thirty five mil
lions, eighty-five thousand, four hundred and
eighty-six dollars greater than it was on that
day. Mr. Walker proceeds to show that it the
interest at the rate of six per cent, be added to
this annual increase of the debt, and be com
pounded for twenty years, the debt, instead of
beiDg paid as the poetic Atkinson predicts, will
considerably exceed five thousand millions of
dollars, and when ijt. is remembered that the
debt has Increased at this alarming rate duriog
the period of the year when the receipts from
imports are always the largest, it will be seen
how rapidly we are descending the steep inclined
plane to hopeless bankruptcy.
But thfs. is not all.that Mr. Walker has ex
posed. ?Be shows that portion pt The debt
which bears currency interest has decreased by
over six millions since March i860, the debt
bearing gold interest had increased from $63,-
978,412 on the 30th April 1865, to $123,573,821
on the fHst August 1868, Pr at the rate of $59,-
695,299 per annum.
According to Mr. Walker’s figures the ac
count stood thus ou the 30th April 1868. Coin
interest converted into Currency,1 $93,418,481;
currency interest, $45,127,936 ; total annual in
terest in currency $138,726,417, and on the 31st
August 1868 the account stood thus: coin in
terest converted into currency $180,417,986;
actual currency interest $4,374,990. Since the
close of the war the interest lias increased $46,-
058,559, representing a priucipal'sum of upwards
of $750,000,000.
The Radicals cannot controvert these figures or
impeach Mr. Walker’s facts as they have those
of Mr. Delmar. Both bis facts ami his figures
are derived “from the boohs of the Treasury with
the approbation of the Secretary,” and are cou-
sequentiy as authentic as if Mr. McCulloch had
published them himself. A debt of $3,000,000.-
000 increasing annually at the rate of $50 000.000
and bearing interest equal in amount to twice
the sum required to defray all the expenses ol
the Government iu the last year of a Democratic
administration.! Here is food for reflection for
the tax-payer to whatever party he may belong
Will his dread of Greeley’s predicted “new re
bellion” be greater than his dread ot the inevit
able bankruptcy which Mr. Walker has laid
bare? We believe that he will risk the rebels
rather than empty pockets.

are only surprised that the Times should say so,
and should thus renounce the great Radical on

Dallas Galbraith :—For a copy of this very
popular novel, from the pen of Mrs. R. Harding
Davis, we are indebted to the publishers, J. B.
Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia. It is for sale
by Sheldon & Connor, of this cily. The work
is in one volume, neatly bound, and handsomely
lettered. We commend it to our readers as oue
of the best and most interesting novels that has
been issued from the American press iu a twelve-
month.
In noticing the above work, we are reminded
of the fact, that a lew days ago, Messrs. M
Lynch & Co., our bookselling neighbors on
Whitehall street, laid upon our table three hand
somely bound volumes issued by the same pub
lishing firm, J. B. Lippincott & Co. Belore we
had time to glance over at their contents or title,
they were stolen from us. We had placed them
in'our private drawer, intending to notice them
at the earliest opportunity, from which they
were abstracted by some one who had not the
fear, nor the love, of God in him. We thank
the Messrs. Lippincott for their compliment, aud
regret that a thief has prevented that notice of
the handsome volumes which we designed to
give them.
Xl*e Grecian Bend.
Fitzpatrick’s appearance as he bowed to Bry
ant, Jeff. Long, Turner, an’d DeGraffenreid, after
being kicked out of his Radical nomination for
Congress, is said to have been the latest illustra
tion ot “ (he Grecian bend,” or the bend of a
Greek. The Albany Evening Journal, whose
editor is said to be a white man, makes the fol
lowing detailed statement of the frailties of his
race r
“ A white skin is no guarantee of unsullied
character. A white skin is no proof of absence
of crime. A white skin is no surety of decent
behavior. A white skin is no certificate of real
enlightenment The blackest hearts are often
found under the whitest skins. The foulest lives
are often connected with the cleanest exterior.
The meanest insolence frequently disgraces the
bestot complexions. The most brutal of pas
sions olten sway the most pure blooded. White
skins often roll in filth, haunt tbe slums of crime,
and darken the resorts of fiends. White skins
stagger and brawl. White men lie, and steal,
ana murder, and burn. White men are often
ignorant, stupid, reckless, dishonest. Why is it,
then, that because blacks are sometimes so, too,
that all blacks must be crushed to dust, and all
whites elevated to the throne ? ”
The editor of the above is supposed to know
himself. He knows intimately such white men
as Brownlow, Butler, Holden, Jo. Holt, Edwin
M. Stanton, and a number of others of the same
stripe. He was evidently thinking remorsefully
of his own sins, and regretfully of the sins of
his companions, when be wrote the foregoing.
A candid confession is good tor the soul. We
hope the editor of the Evening Journal feels re
lieved.
Judge Erskine.—Judge Erskine has notified
the Clerk of the United States District Court

TEB DEATH OF (JEMKRAL HOWELI. COBB.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 10,1868.
The entire community here mourns as one
man tbe loss of xfaoir beloved tellow-cilizen and
friend, Howell Cobb. The uews of liis sudden
death was a stunniug blow to the people of this
town. They cannot realize that they are never
again to see the genial face, or listen to the
cheerful voice ot him whose society they so
much enjoyed, in whose greatness they took so
much pride, and whose friendship they so much
valued. Almost Irorn his inlaucy Howell
Cobb lias resided in Alliens. He was born in
Jefferson couniy, but when he was quite young
bis parents moved to Athens, and since that pe
riod until the close of the war his residence has
been here. Thus he was the playmate, and
school and college companion ol most of the
older residents, endeared to all by his frank,
kindly nature, and beloved by all for the whole-
souled generosity and cheerlulness of character
and disposition by which bis whole life has been
distinguished.
I never saw a more sorrow stricken people
than those of this town. Since the uews arrived
they move about and talk to each other as if they
were in the chamber of death, and on many a
manly check may be found the traces of tears,
those honest evidences of an honest sorrow.
When the shocking intelligence readied MaJ.
Lamar Cobb he instantly set out to join hi-?
afflicted mother aud succor and sustaiu her in
her leariul distress.
A dispatch received here on Satuiday, by
Capu Howell Cobb, announces that Mrs. Cobb
and her daughter leit New Yoik on Friday
night, and though the dispatch does not so say,
it is supposed that the remains ol the lamented
General left at the same time.
The funeral will probably take place on Wed
nesday or Thursday. All business will be sus
pended in the town on that day, and every in
habitant will follow to the grave the remains of
the friend of all
For more than a quarter ot a century Howell
Cobb has been among the greatest of Georgia’s
sons. He has been highly honored by the peo
ple. He has filled many positions of trust and
power. He has always been true to his State
and section, and devoted his great talents to the
advancement of Georgia’s prosperity and the
maintenance of Georgia’s honor. For nearly
twenty years, with tbe exception of the two
years he served as Governor ot Georgia, 1851 53,
and his term of service as Secretary of the
Treasury, in Mr. Buchanan’s administration, he
represented the Sixth District in Congress. His
popularity in this part of the State was uu
bounded, and on a recent visit to a portion of the
District, he was intensely gratified by the many
proofs of warm-hearted affection which lie re
ceived from his old constituents.
General Cobb had just entered his fifty-fourth
year. He was born September 7,1815, and died
October 9,1868. pf-v t -&L.t
At a future and not distant day I will publish
in the Intelligencer a more extended bio
graphical sketch of the illustrious dead. Many
years of close companionship and ot friendship
uninterrupted by a single j tr or misunderstand
ing, made me love him asloved Jona
than. He was more than my friend, be was my
brother, my pride, my counsellor on all occa
sions. Those who occupied the same relations
to him can comprehend the sorrow which I now
feel. *£*
John Perkins (white) was banged recently in
Virginia for a crime in which a negro participa
ted. The negro was saved lrom the gajlows by
tbe “ clemency ” of Gov. W ells, for. political el-
lect. When Perkins fell with the drop, a negro
convict in a cell close by exclaimed: ‘‘ There’s
another dam Yankee gone.” Which ought to
induce a kindly feeling lor the man and brother
in the breast of every “dam Yankee” in the
South.

Last Hours of Hr. Cobb — Coroner’s
Inquest.
Mr. Cobb bad been snipping at tbe Fifth Av
enue Hotel for the past four weeks, together
with his wife, Mrs. Mary A. Cobb, aud bis eldest
daughter, Mary Ann. bey came North that
the daughter, who is ah accomplished young
iadv nineteen years otVtfge, might have an op
portunity of visiting tfe watering places and re
cuperate her health. The family had recently
returned from a short visit to Saratoga, and were
to have left to-day tor Baltimore. Mr. Cobb bad
enjoyed his usual g <od health ill along, and, np
to the lime ot his sad death, was hale and buoy-
aut. He had frequently driven out with his wife
and daughter, aud on Thursday eveniDg they
attended the EpiscopaKConyention. Yesterday
morning Mr. Cobb rosfc’iagood spmts, and alter
breakfast started lo go toJris room3, with hiswii
and daughter. "YVhifo ascending tbe parlor
stairs, about 94 o’clock, they met-Col. J. J. Wil
liams, of Florida, who was formerly an officer of
Gen. Cobb’s stall, and Bishop Beckwith, of Ga.
Mr. Cobb stopped to introduce Mr. Beckwith to
his wi!e, aud engaged iu conversation relative
to a sermon recently preached by the Bishop.
They had conversed but a short time, when
Mr. Cobb turned to address his wife; but
without uttering auy thing, put his haud
to his head, swooned, aud sat down
upon the step, Mrs. Cobb, knowing tbe consti
tution of her husband, thought it was an attack
of vertigo, aud expected lie would, soon revive.
Colonel Williams, however, saw instantly that
he was seriously ill, aud hastened to get a phy
sician. Dr. Rupanner, the hotel physician, was
quickly on hand, aud had Mr, Cobb removed to
the reception room, where he reclined, upon a
sofa. He breathed very hard apd foamed "at the
mouth, while his face was livid "and his eyes
sunken. The pulse at the wrist was entirely
stopped, and the beatings of the heart were
feeble. In twenty minutes lie was dead, with
out having uttered a word‘or made a sign'of
recognition. The terrible and unexpeetedblow
to the wife and daughter was almost too' -great
for them to bear, and all day they were over
whelmed with grief, while the'occurrence seem
ed to cast a gloom over every one present at
the hotel. Everything was done to comfort the
afflicted relatives, and Mr. Griswold, of the ho
tel, gave ail his time to them, and dispatched
the sad intelligence by telegraph U\a large num
ber of relatives Arid friends of the tteceased, liv
ing in all parts qt the' country. Mr. Cobb was
aged 53 years one month and two days, and his
place of residence was at Athens, Georgia. He
leaves four sous, Joi*H,»Latoar, Howell, and
Andre; and three daughter's, Mary Ann, who
was present with him, and two younger. He
was a very large man, ot fine iorrn and teatures.
His body was placed m a handsome coffin, and
I iced, preparatory to leaving lor Georgia by
steamer this morning.
On account of the extreme suddenness of Mr.
Cobb’s dealh, it was deemed prudent to hold a
coroner’s mfpieSf, aud about three o’clock p. m.
Coroner Rollins, accompanied by Dr. Beach,
arrived at tbe hotel lor that purpose. As it was
necessary to remove the remains immediately,
this proceeding could not be well postponed,
and Mrs Cobb, being informed ot the tacts,
Composed her feelings while she gave a briel
statement to ike coroner.
Mrs.‘Cobb said: For the ph-t six months or
more, my husband Las complained ot oppression
about his chest, which he thought resulted lrom
dyspepsia; upon going up-stairs he would be
taken with sudden short breathing, and pain in
the region ot the breast, accompanied with suf
focation ; these symptoms became worse, but
since our arrival Non h he has appeared much
better; this morning he arose in his usual
health ; between 9 and 10 o'clock, while stand
ing on the foot ot the stairs of the hall, convers
ing with a gentleman, he sat down on one of the
steps, and immediately put his hand to his head,
leaned bacK upon the stairs, raised his head up
twice, gasping for breath all the time. His head
then fell to one side. A physician was seat for,
who soon arrived, and deceased was removed to
a sota After being laid there, he gasped but
once, and then died. He had not complained in
the least ot appoplexy.
Further proceedings were thi ■ adjourned when
the coroner stated that as there was no physician
who could testify as to the cause of death, it
would bh li! Cessary to make an autopsy ot the
body. The triends of the deceased beseeched
him to defer doing so, it posssiblc, and accord
iugiy a jury of six doctors wasimpannelled that
the cause ot death might be ascertained, if pos
sible, without a post mortem examination. Tbe
jury consisted as follows: Dr. J. C. Nott, Dr.
Lewis A. Sayre, Dr. Thomas R. Jennings, Dr
Aifred L. Carroll, Dr. James A. Anderson, Dr.
James S. Huyier, and Dr. H. P. Hughes.
Dr. Anthony Rupanner, of the Fitth Avenue
Hotel, being duly sworn, testified—About 9:30
a. m to-day I was called to see the deceased,
who was a guest at this house; I found him lying
at tbe toot of the stairs ot the parlor floor in-
seusible, his lace turned towards the right shoul
der, breathing stertorous, foamin at the mouth
wiih livid lace, pupils dilated, eyes injected, no
pulse at the wrist, pulse at the heart feeble; had
him removed to the reception room ; applied
restoratives without success, and almost imme
diately after his removal he expired. In my
opinion his death resulted lrom pressure on the
vessels at the base of the brain.
Col. Joseph Williams, ot Florida, beiDg sworn,
testified—I am a guest of this house; I knew
deceased intimately ; all that I have known him
to complain ot lately is cold and headache; this
difficulty' he complained of yesterday; this
morning about 8f I,spoke with him at the table;
he then looked better than !• have known him
lor some days; about 9J I was at the foot of the
parlor stairs in conversation with Mrs. Coff - and
Bishop Beckwith; deceased stood by as a third
person, occasionally conversing, when suddenly
he threw his hand up to his head, and looking
around, sat down on one ol the steps, leaned
back, and appeared insensible; Mr. Coff was
standing by, and supposed if to be an attack ot
vertigo; seeing his face contracted with hard
breathing, I thought it serious, and went for Dr.
Rupunuer, who arrived immediately, and alter
removing deceased to a room, he almost imme
diately died.
The jury then consulted together, after view
ing the body, aud, returned a verdict that the de
ceased came to his death by compression of the
brain, indicated by spasm, congestion of the face,
retraction of one limb, dilation of pupils, sturtaj
aud other symptoms which usually attend death
trom ibis cause.
Mrs. Cobb and daughter left for home last
evening, by the 9 o’clock train. The body will
foiiow this morning by steamer.

Charleston, S. C., Oct. 13.—John Quiuey
Adams last night addressed an immense meet
ing of the South Carolina Democracy in Colum
bia. His speech was long and elaborate, breath
ing the same moderate and conciliatory spirit as
his recent letter. In referring to the pending po
litical struggle, he said, your violations to the
political parties at the North have a very impor
tant hearing upon your fate, at all events just
now, and demands careful meditation. Most of
you doubtless regard the success of the Demo
cratic party as essential to your release from
your present situation, but it is my duty to re
mind you that men in your position have no
right to be bigoted partizans. You must, of
course, feel a deep interest in tbe success of
those who espouse your cause, and you may
properly exert all legitimate influence to pro
mote their ‘success, but you ought not to shut
the door to aid from any source. I have al
ready deprecated unreasonable and undistin
guishieg hostility to the Republican party,
would now warn yon against an absolute exclu
sive devotion to any party.
It the Democracy succeed in electing their
candidates, you will be subjected to temptations
as trying as the demand upon your sufferance
may prove in case Gen. Grant is chosen. Hasty,
ill-considered, passionate or violent action, in
the event of Democratic success, would be almost
sure, in the end, to turn to your discomfiture,
and render your last state worse than the first.
Aud yet, it will require a good deal of sell-com-
maud to control the reaction lrom the depres
sion; but the country, in that event, will be so
severely divided and so greatly excited, that a
small thing may induce a terrible catastrophe.
On the other haud, ia case ot Gen. Grant’s elec
tion, you will be called on to exercise a while
longer your patience and forbearance. I am
sure it will be rewarded in the end. I do not
believe that Gen. Grant is your enemy. I feel
sure he means kindly towards you, and will do
justice and show mercy in his course to you. A
large mass of Republicans will help you, if you
will do your best to help yourselves. A great
majority of all the North only await to be sure
it is safe to take you cordially by the hand once
more. Bide, then, your time. In either event,
possess your souis in patience ; call to your aid
that grandest of all human qualities, self-control,
and all will yet be well.
Mr. Adams’ address was well received.—
Speeches were afterwards delivered by Hamp
ton and others. The meeting was the largest
ever held in this State.
New Orleans, October 13.—The House

worth forty or fifty dollars per acre. The Western &

ood a grain and stock farm as any one need desire, and
has about 160 acres of cleared land, iu cultivation, upon
it. Also, an excellent fishery on the place. In short

any in the coiiutrv. This propertv could be divided ini*
th ee or four s-nail farms all well watered. Sold as the
