LETTER OF GOT. SMITH.
The following communication was
received:
State of Georgia, i
Execctive Department,
Atlanta, Nov. 21,1576. )
Dr. J. G. Thomas, President :
Dear Sir—As the State Board of
Health is about to convene in regu
lar session in this city, I avail myself
of the occasion respectfully to sub
mlt'to your body a suggestion which
seems to be called for by the best in
terest of the State generally, and
especially of that large body of our
ciQßens who reside in the cities on
the coast. It y with a view
to a more thorough investigation
into the causes, nature, effect, and
treatment of the epidemic which has
so recently scourged the cities of
Savannah and Brunswick and their
vicinities, that the Board of Health
shall hold an adjourned meeting in
the city of Savannah at such time as
may suit the convenience of the
members, and at as early a day as
may be found practical de. lam sat
isfied that an enquiry conducted on
the spot, where sogreat an amount
of testimony is available and where
each member of the board cau see
and judge for himself, would prove
the most effective plan for the colla
tion of facts and arriving at satisfac
tory conclusions. If found necessary
the board might also visit the city of
Bruoswlck where a different state of
facts may be developed, which may
aid them in their investigation.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
James M. Smith.

I)r. G. F. Cooper read an elaborate
report ou food, which was ordered to
be placed on tile. He opposed the
frying-pan and favored the gridiron.
Tne report was an excellent one and
full of facts that should be in the
hands of every citizen of Georgia.
DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAT.
A general colloquial discussion en
sued as to the difficulties in the way
of the board. The present appro
priation is too meager and the law
too difficult to meet the wants of the
case. The members of the board
serve without compensation, and are
willing to do so for the benefit of the
public. If the board had been fully
organized four years ago, with ample
means and powers, it may have been
possible to have averted the evils of
the yellow fever at Savannah and
Brunswick. The board recognize
themselves as the servants of the
people, and are willing to go
on and perfect the work, if
the Legislature will give them the
power and meaos. If not, they will
leavve the responsibility of the fail
ure upon that body.
The board adjourned until 10 a. m.
to-day.
Heavy Failure.

THE cremation op A PRIWMIN.
I THE FUNERAL TILE SET ON FIRE BY HIS
HIOHEESS, THE REGENT OF SIAM.
Tho following is from the Jltn-Cat
ifomian:
In accordance with the Biumense
custom in the case of persons of ex
alted rank, tho body of the late prin
cess, after being prepared in a man-
I ner somewhat similar to tho process
of embalming, lay in state for up
wards of two months in a coffin
placed in a Buddhist temple. The
ceremony of the cremation took
place at about 3 o’clock in tho after
noon, shortly before which hour His
Highness tho Regent, attended by
his sons and tho officers of State ap
pointed to represent their Majesties,
the first and Becond Kings, arrived
at the pavillion that had been con
structed tor tho occasion. This was
a large bamboo building capable of
containing about one thousand per
sons, and open on one side like a
1 race-course stand. In front stood the
altar, also constructed of green bam
boo, surmounted by a cauopy of the
! same material, about forty feet in
height, tastefully decorated with
! flowers. Flowers were also profusely
strewn on tho fagots and round
; about.
At the foot of the altar were seated
' about twenty men, producing on na-
I tive instruments the most wierd and
i unearthly “music,’’and close to them
1 was a Chinese opon-air fantoceini
exhibiting, which was keeping a vast
crowd of both Chinese and Siamese
in a state of uproarious laughter.
Tho ceremony lasted until sunset.
After the ceremony the Regent
conducted his guests to tho puvilion,
and there, with his sons and other
members of the family, took up a
I position on the steps of the altar.
The musicians, with thoir tom-toms,
horns and reed instruments, redoub
! led their efforts, and amid the wild
I blast of barbarous music the coffin
was borne in and placed upon the
i funeral pyro, which was composed of
1 fagots neatly shaped to a uniform
j size and tipped with gold loaf, the
! whole being saturated with turpen
tine and inflammable oil. The Re
gent (who, like all tho Biameso pres
ent, was dressed entirely in white,
the national mourning color), was
then presented by a kneeling slave
with a lighted torch, with which he
first fired the pile. Each of his sons,
i in order of their seniority, then did
the same, followed by all the other
relatives, these in turn being succeed
ed by the old gentleman's concu
bines, numbering some five and
! twenty. The guests were then invit
ed r.o assist, and after they had done
i so, the general public were admitted
without reserve, and in a short time
, the altar with its canopy and floral
decorations was completely envelop
| ed in flames.
The roses and other flowers with
i ered in the scorching heat, the
| bamboo pillars crackled and sput-
I tered, the attendants stimulated the
fierce fire, threw upon it spices and
essences which filled the air with
strange odors; the music became
faster and more wildly furious, and
: soon the costly coffin with its con
tents became merely a heap of ashes.
Presently the columns supporting
the canopy wore burnt through, and
the wholo structure fell with a crash
on the fire, which soon found its way
again and blazed with fresh fury,
sending a dense cloud of smoko far
above the sago palms and cocoanut
trees. Boon after this we all took
leave of the Regent and his family,
each of us receiving as a souvenir a
pure gold mourning ring, made in
the palace by tho royal goldsmiths.
Aettou to Recover the Value •!* Georgia
Mtate Bondi.
Cincinnati Kuqtlirer.J
L. A. Green & Cos. vs. J. W. Clarke
& Cos. This was an action to recover
tho amount of a lot of Georgia State
bends, alleged to have been issued
before the war by that State, under
an act passed in 1854. The plaintiffs,
it appeared, in 1866 received from the
defendants three several lots of these
bonds for tbe purpose of sending
them to New York to be sold by Mau
ry, Keyes & Bend. Out of the first
two lots thus forwarded and sold the
plaintiffs accounted to the defend
ants for the proceeds. The third lot
was purchased by Maury, Keyes &
Bend for plaintiffs. The day after
this sale the bonds were returned to
the brokers on the ground that they
were not valid bonds, and not recog
nized by the agent of the Biateof
Georgia. The question of their va
lidity was investigated by sending
them to Georgia, where the State
Treasurer passed upon them. The
State Treasurer erased the signa
tures upon tho bonds and coupons
and wrote on the face of the bonds,
“Genuine, but never issued, as the
contingency for which they were or
dered never happened as was con
templated by the Legislature ; sup
posed to have been taken from the
office of the Treasurer by tho marau
ders of Gen. Sherman’s army.” The
plaintiffs thereupon tendered the
bonds back to the defendants, who
refused to accept them. Thereupon
this action was begun.
Tho defendants claimed that the
plaintiffs, by tho purchase of the
bonds from Maury, Keys & Cos., com
mitted a fraud upon them, the de
fendants, and that they deprived
themselves, therefore, of any right
to roeover. They also claimed that
the State of Georgia was liable for
the bonds, and therefore they were
valid. *
The jury, under the instructions of
the court, returned a verdict for the
defendants.
An Episode of the Nortliflrld Raid.
From the Detroit Tribune.]
When the bandits made their recent
raid in Minnesota on the Northfield Bank
they captured, near Mankato, an inoffen
sive German named Dunning. After he
had piloted them to a roadway which
they wished to find, they calmly debated
the question whether they should permit
him to go on his way or kill him on the
spot. After the question had been dis
cussed quite freely, a ballot was taken,
and the German’s life was saved by the
vote of Charlie Pitts, the robber who was
subsequently killed near Madelia. Dun
ning was complied to take an oath that
he would never speak of his experience
to a human being. Never was mortal
man so dreadfully scared. He could not
shake off the panic terror. He moped
about for a few weeks after the memora
ble interview, and was in momentary
dread of the return of the baDdits. lie
finally sold his effects, packed his chest
and started for the East, fully determined
to put the ocean between himself and his
captors.

THE OUTRAGE OF THE RETURNING BOARD
Opinion* of file New York Pre**.
New York, Nov. 95.— The Tines
says: “The South Carolina Board of
Canvassers recognized somewhat late
the mistake in submitting their ac
tion to the review and control of the
Supreme Court. In issuing its orders
to a judicial body f entirely inde
pendent jurisdiction, that court was
guilty of manifest usurpations. In
consenting to argue the case before
the court, the board of canvassers gave
these orders an appearance of valid
ity which could not otherwise have
been claimed for them. The clear
intention of the majority of the Su
preme Court was to do the work of
the Democrats at whatever sacrifice
of constitutional right, and common
justice.
The World says: “The Board of Can
vassers yesterday stole the Electoral vote
of tiiat State openly from the Supreme
Court, with the avowed object of ottering
it to Hayes. The robbery was brazen
and shameless. It rests with the Ameri
can people to decide whether they will
surrender control of their government to
such hands or maintain their liberties,
self-respect and prosperity by enforcing
the remedies of law against a lawless con
spiracy without parallel in our annals.”
The Herald says: “This is very sharp
practice. If the Supreme Court cannot
rapport its authority which the Board
lias defied, the State must be counted for
Hayes. The audacity of this act betrays
great desperation. If not undone in the
courts of justice, it will stand ns a monu- j
mental infamy.”
The Post says the best thing the j
Bouth Carolina Board of Canvassers
can do is to reassemble. The coun- j
try will not be satisfied with proceed-1
ings which look like sharp practice. |
We admit that the Supreme Court I
itself is got. free from a suspicion
of sharp practice. No appearance j
of judicial sharp practice, however, |
can excuse the sharp practice of the j
canvassers in the first place. The
conservative opinion of tho country
demands respect for the judgments
of the constituted tribunals. It is
better that a decision which is wrong
shall be obeyed than that it shall bo i
disobeyed even to secure a right end. |
The proceedings yesterday in South j
Carolina will not convince the coun
try that the canvass is honest and
fair.
THE EKEI.INCi IN THE KTATE.
Columbia. Nov. 23.—Considerable
excitement is reported throughout
the State, but no demonstration of
violence or lawlessness. Tho action
of the Board of State Canvassers is
considered final by Republicans,
while the Democrats claim it has no
effect, because the whole question
was in the hands of the Supreme
Court, and the board is guilty of con
tempt. They express a determina
tion to continue in tho courts and
bring matters to a conclusion there.
Last Dight the Democratic counsel
served the writ of mandamus issued
yesterday by the Court on the offi
cials composing tho board. The Su
preme Court meets to-morrow to hear
the returns of the board.
H. W. Purvis, Adjutant and Inspec
tor General, and a member of the
Board of Canvassers, says he has re
signed his office.

ed the meeting to order, stating that
the committee was expected to get
the opinion of prominent Democrats
on tho present political crisis.
A motion was made for a commit

A Split tmini the Republican*.
New Orleans Rpocisl (Nov. 20) to tho Cincinnati
Commercial.]
Tho schism among the Republican
leaders which became apparent at a
late hour on Saturday night, is al
ready pronounced in full bloom, and
the confidence exhibited by the
Pinchbnck faction is exceedingly sug
gestive. According to the ostensibly
wild rumors, traceable, however, to
ratlfer reliable sources, Cazenave and
Kenner have already been secured,
and tho conversion of Wells is con
fidently predicted. The programme
mentioned contemplates the return
of the State for Hayes, but also for
the Democratic and Conservative
State ticket, including, of course,
Gen. Nlcholls and all the State
officers.
Tho returns, it is alleged, will show
that Gen. Nlcholls ran far ahead of
his ticket, and that he obtained tho
support of many colored men who
voted for Hayes.
Accompanying tho report are many
wild rumors concerning tho disaffec
tion of prominent colored men. but
they are incoherent and shadowy.
There is, however, reliable authority
for tho assertion that a great deal of
money has been spent, and that the
movement possesses an importance
that cannot be disregarded.
Gen. Nlcholls, it is proper to state,
was wholly ignorant, of flic transac
tion until informed of it, but he
has in no way participated in or en
couraged the movement.
THK EUROPEAN SITUATION.

Servia claims in the line of demarcation

fairs. Russians are coming in groat
numbers. Servia to be tho extreme

Servians will be sent to Bosnia under

Roumanian pontoon trains are nil

The Times’ editorial says: “We
enter into a conference of the powers
with something more than hopo of
peace. For tho attainment of peace
wo shall support any proposals that
offer a guarantee of orderly gov
ernment of the insurgent provinces,
without involving a rectification of
the international frontiers. If our
labors are fruitless, we shall not
throw ourselves on the side of either
combatant, but shall watch what the
future may bring forth.”

Wednesday, 22d.—Among the new
bills introduced in the Senate wore the
following: To secure the better protec
tion of minors; for the protection of sure
ties on the bonds of executors and ad
ministrators; to arrange the Chancery
Courts of the State. The Senate passed
the bill to amend the act to authorize the
construction of a breakwater in the bay
of Mobile. The hills to repeal an act in
relation to the sale or giving away of
spirituous liquors, and to refund moneys
paid into the State treasury for licences
not required by the Revenue law, were
recommitted. A substitute was adopted
and passed for the resolution authorizing
the proper committees of the two houses
to report sucli amendments of the Reve
nue laws as they think fit.
The Benate indefinitely postponed the
bill to amend the Election law so as to
allow the sale of liquor on the day before
the elections.
In the House, a resolution to call in
SIOO,OOO of the largo bills of State obliga
tions, and issue small bills in lieu thereof,
was passed; also a resolution to raise a
joint committee to consider the propriety
of aboliehidg the office of County Superin
tendent. The House passed the bill to
require Probate Judges to itemise their
accounts, and concurred in Senate reso
lution to appoint a committee to examine

A late number of‘the New York
Orphic contains a cartoon that dis
plays the European situation exact
ly. In the foreground a good sized
“gobbler” is lighting vigorously with
tbree small chicken-cocks, represent
ing Moutenegro.Bervia and Bulgaria.
These are gettingdecidedly the worst
of the battle, and while their torn
feathers cover the ground, they
themselves are being trampled under
the feet of the big gobbler, who is
having things pretty much his own
way. Just behind him, however,
holding on to the trunk of a large
tree with one paw, is the Russian
bear, whose other arm is reaching
out ready to grasp the victorious gob
bler. Close behind the Russian
bear, and a little to the left, is the
British lion crouched ready for u
lea]), and watching with interested
face every motion of the huge
bruin, and ready to spring upon him
whenever he laid an unruly claw ou
the turkey. Tho tree to which the
bear holds has several branches, on
the highest one of which is a cock,
representing France, safe out of the
way of all danger. Two eagles, of
different kinds, are perched on the
same branch; the German eagle,
close to the trunk, is quite secure
from falling, but the dead branch has
just broken underthe Austrian eagle,
which is now about to tumble in the
midst of tho conflict raging below.
A wolf, presumably Italy or Greece,
is rushidg in to take part in the
scpiabble. The scene is denominated
“The Happy Family,” and hits the
real point of the Eastern questton.
The New Orleans Times says the
Republicans are the orthodox party
in this contest. It is absolutely ne
cessary that they should prove the
Trinity. Florida, South Carolina
and Louisiana to be a unity; other
wise they will be turned out of the
postoflices and otherwise floored by
the Philistines.
