THE dead DUCK

OF all the dirty scavengers of party who
have fattened upon the corruptions of Wash.
ington for the last twenty years, the most no
torious is JNo. w. FoRNEY, who the Presi-
dent, in reply to an interrogatory, charac-
terized as 6 "dead duck" He is not, how
ever, without ability, boldness and energy,
and has an experience i'll party tactics SUI
perior to most any one of his profession in
the Government. 1t speaks well for the pu-
rity of the atmosphere about the White
House at the present time, to know that For
ney is hereafter to be kept out of the back
door. As there may be some who are Gu
rious to see with what grace he submitted to
to the sudden taking off of the President,
we extract the following from his paper, the
Washington Chronicle:
This great farce was ittingly closed by the
speech of the President of the United States, a
UerJdfim report of which we publish elsewhere. A
more shameful and humilating spectacle could
scarcely be presented. II more than confirms our
previous statement with reference to that official.
Turning upon his best friends, upon the party
that elevated him to his present position, and we
may say, upon the loyal people of the country, he
deliberately throws himself into the extended
arms of the Copperheads, the men whose sympa-
thes all through the recent struggle for national
existence were unreservedly with the common
enemy. We do not stop to comment upon this
extraordinary speech. 1t tells its own story. 1t
will be read to-day by the loyal millions of the
North with mingled shame and Indignation, and
by the rebles aad Copperheads with undisguised
joy. The only hope left for the country now is
the American Congress. Let the people rally as
one man to the support OF their chosen represen-

CONFEDERATE MONEY. -

During the late term of the Supreme
Court in this city decision was made in q
case, where payment on note had beer
made in Confederate money"-but nc
credit had been entered on the note. The
Court declared that such payment amounted
to nothing, and the maker of the note should
pay its face Our Bristol correspondent
speaks of what may be the effect of this de
cision, and in doing so gives the popular
impression of the scope and force of the de
cision. 1t is likely the same impression pre-
walls throughout the State. This is probably
an error. The Court had before it particu
lar case with given facts, and in delivering
the opinion Judge MILLIeAN restricts thai
opinion to that case, and expressly excluded
the class of cases referred to by our CORES
pendent, in the following closing paragraph
But we do not say. that case might not arise
involving Confederate money as the basis of al
executed contract, where the rights Of the parties
were vested. which the courts for the repose o
society, would not disturb. In this cause the cred
was not entered, and the application of the prin-
ciple is without embarrassment

THE Radical organ is distressed about the
Freedmen's Bureau. 1t does not know
whether the President ever was in favor Of
any sort ola Bureau, and is in doubt whether
anybody else knows or ever did know. He
seems to think the President as inscrutable
as the Sphynx on the Bureau question. We
pity this perplexity if it be real, but we are

DEATH OF GEN. STEPHEN ELLIOT II

The death of this young, brave and gifted
son Of South Carolina, Of Fort Sumter fame,
is announced in the Charleston papers. His
funeral took place at St. Michaels Church
in that city on the 2Sd inst, During the
morning many of the business houses were
closed in respect to his memory. The
United States Quartermaster having kindly
offered transportation on the Government
steamer, the remains were taken to Beaufort
to be inferred in the family burial ground.

OSs Of our city contemporaries noted the
fact that a Radical who entered the Repre-

In Nashville, cholera commenced three
times in January and twice in May. During
the five visits it prevailed every May, but
especially in June and July. 1t never be-
gan after May, and never proved fatal in a
single case during the last four months Of
the year. In June and july only as u 10 b
dreaded
The report asserts that personal and pub
lie filthiness, vicious courses of life, destitu-
ton, imprudence. in diet, intemperance in
drink, fear, and the improper, and of course
injurious use of medicine, especially nos
trums, are the most prolific assistants to the
epidemic influence which is the prime cause
of the disease, and forcibly urges the COM
munity and individuals to guard against
them.
1t is right to state, however, that cholera
respects no season of the year, no climate,
scarcely any country or people; and more
over, we are free to confess that we know
nothing of its cause ; so far this remains
mvsteriously hidden from human ken.
Still we do know some facts in regard to
cholera even as an epidemic. We may not
know its cause, but we are certain that 1t
originates an Asia, that it is imported into
Europe and America; that it is therefore
infectious, and may be qudrdnttned; lastly,
that its mortality is influenced by the hygienic
condition of the places it invades. This last
circumstance, it seems to us, should specially
Claim the attention of the society.

Nashville can never become very desi-
rable or healthy place. unless the sanitary
condition of its streets, alleys, stables, and
privies is greatly improved. Notwithstand-
ing all the present authorities are doing,
there is not an entire square Of good pave
ment in the city, SO that whenever the
weather is the least wet, every person, and
especially every lady that moves out of the
house, must return as wet and muddy as II
the walk had been made through country
lanes.
We who were in Nashville in 1854 du-
ring the last visit of cholera, will recollect
that the fatal cases, 40 in number, were
confined almost exclusively to the two filthy
valleys leading from Wilson's and Judges
springs to the river. If it comes again,
these localities may expect to be the chief
sufferers in this city.
We cannot but apprehend visit of this
epidemic from its existence at present in a
West India island from the epizootic already
on this continent-from the fact of its in
PRODUCTION into New York harbor last fall,
but fortunately there arrested, which may
not be the case again. As yet we have no
disposition TO bowel affections. Should
diarrhea prevail extensively this spring,
then we should prepare at once for its adj
vent. These acdat cOurriers-these antece-
dents to cholera, are to my mind proofs of
its epidemic character, its propagation by
atmospheric influence, and not by contagion.
To which may be added its greater fatality
in filthy cities, and certain portions, and
even particular streets and stories of houses
in these towns, and its almost exemption in
those Of an opposite condition. and its pref
ty constant western progress.

In the estimation Of the Radical press, Mr..
Seward has committed great crime, the
enormity of which consists in his concurring
with President johnson in denouncing the
revolutionary schemes Of Sumner and Stew

nant among the States and the people, or to
