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. > hopes, that the electors " ofdSTassachusetts will 5jq the contrary that they ‘fFimes says that in view ..expressed wishes of : country,” in view v a-Hliorn in the finally in view of f fbe district as an ft p^oud of their Sr Dana, as & debt due the most red-handed pie great unscrupu lous” a'harder blow*!fith lhe above. When a Radical has not character enough in the estima tion ot a Radical f«yper, to represent iu a Radi cal Congress a Radical district in Radical Mas- -saclmsetts, what so^tiof a repiobate must that Radical be ? Why, Julf* Allen, the dance-house man, must be a paragon of virtue as compared with him fcs * x We do hot dispute, the justice of the Times' estimate of Butler. We think that all men who have aDy character at all, or have any honor to be proud ofoowe ft to themselves and to oth ers” to refuse all association with Butler. We are only surprised that the Times should say so, and should thus renounce the great Radical on whose shoulders byv^hnaent of the party the mantle ot the late 'xtllin. Stevens has fallen. ^7 Editorial Correspondence Intelligencer. Book. Notice. 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 that he will be here on the 20th or 21st instant to hold court. Chief Justice Chase will probably arrive about tbe same time, to preside over the Circuit Court. —/Savannah News, 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. From the New York World, 10th instant. 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.

Paris, October 13.—Prim publishes a letter urging the formation of a kingdom in Spain immediately. It is said that Prim himself aspires to be King. 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 Committee of Investigation on the Conduct of Registration reported yesterday.
