From the Atlsot* Oonstttntion, 23d.i* The State Board of Health met yesterday mornihfc in the room of the t’reiklent of the Senate, eapitol building. There were present: Dr. .T, G. Thomas, President: Dr. V. H. Talia ferro, Secretary; Dr. B. M. Crom well, Dr. G. F. Cooper, Dr. ,T. P. Lo gan, Dr. H. H. Carlton, Dr. George Little, State Geologist, Dr. W. L. Goldsmith, Comptroller General. 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. VITAL STATISTICS. From the reports we gather the fol lowing: Total birthß reported, 1,704 white, 492 colored. Richmond leads the van—223 white and 169 colored.

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. London, Nov. 23.—Alfred Ailath, the head of a firm of accountants at Sheffield, failed. Liabilities a million dollars. 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. COLUMBUS, GA. r FRIDAY MOBNIJSG, NOVEMBER 24, 1876. SOUTH CAROLINA. V * '4 —♦ —— 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. Tle Ohio Democratic mate Committee. Columbus, Nov. * 22.—The Demo cratic State Central Committee, and a large number of prominent Demo crats, met at Thurman Hail at 2 p. m., but the crowd was so great that it was found necessary to adjourn to the court-house. Mr. Thomson call 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 tee of five to draft suitable res olutions, and some of the leading Democrats were requested to go out with the committee and give such ad vioe as they might deem proper.

NOME OF THE RETI'niKM IIFI.II HACK KaHI.-hI landldAte* Have Tin 111 In Their Porker*. New Orleans, Nov. 23.— The Board met—committees prosent. Judge ; Bpafford, counsel for Democratic candidates, filed a statement that the returns of supervisors for four teen parishes, not received by tho board, had been in the city some time, in tho hands of Republican supervisors or Republican candidates for Congress. Proofs of the truth submitted, aud a motion made that the lepers be ordered bofore the board. The order requested was is sued on motion of Gen. Andexson. 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. London, Nov. 23. —The hundred mil lion rubles which Russia is now raising are already consumed by military ex penses. Servia claims in the line of demarcation several villages in Turkish territory. It is apprehended these claims will be made a pretext for a eollision whenever suita ble. London, Nov. 23.— A Belgrade dis patch to the News says the crisis seems approaching in Eastern af fairs. Russians are coming in groat numbers. Servia to be tho extreme right wing of Russian operations. Servians will be sent to Bosnia under their own officers. Roumanian pontoon trains are nil on the Danube, ready for operation. 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.” Russia has given official notice that the Harbors of Odessa, Sebastapol, and the mouths of the River Drieper and Straits of Kertch are obstructed, AMItAMA I.KCtIMI.ATFUF. 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 the Code as revised. Appointment.

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.
