HEALTH DEPARTMENT

AH Appeal 20 the People Of Nashville.
The citizens Of Nashville are earnestly
appealed TO by the Health Department for
their cooperation in rendering and keep
ing the city in proper sanitary condition
during the present hot season. The CITY
Council having failed TO give us a Board of
Health, thus leaves TO the people the alter
native of assuming the grave responsible.
ties that should properly devolve upon that
body. 1t is hoped that all may speedily
realize the necessity Of prompt cooperation
before precaution ceases to be a virtue.
There is certainly reason in this intelligent
community to hope that the majority will
lend their assistance to this important
work. There are laws 10 compel those
having no regard for their own health or
that Of their neighbors, 10 do their duty. II
is recommended that the priyies be disin-
fected with a solution of say five pounds Of
sUlphate Of iron, which costs but few cents
per pound, dissolved in two gallons of
water, or with this proportion 10 any
amount desired. Privies should be deodor-
ized as often as suggested by offensive SMELL
For yards sewers, cutters, areas, etc, lime
is said, by the best authority, to be the most
potent disinfectant that can be used. Ii is
hoped that those who have not whitewashed
will do so Immediately. Tenement houses
in Nashville are a great source Of complaint,
many are totally without means of yentila-
ton, and consequently the occupants are
made to suffer from diseases which might
be avoided. .. SANITARY.

New-York tribune., 1868-01-03

Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South
Carolina; in all of which States they probably
and in the last three certainly, have so large
majority of the population that the admission
of all Rebels to vote would not prevent the
Radical vote from carrying those States we
doubt, therefore, if the exclusion OF the
few Rebels who are shut out from the
polls really affects the result in any one State
1t certainly does not in any except Virginia
and Georgia. We have always believed that
the clauses excluding Rebels from voting
would result in great cry and little wool.
They have already greatly prejudiced us IN
the Northern elections; and we think we could
to-day more easily and proftably carry the
Southern States without them than with thenl.
We doubt if they exclude seventy thousand
votes all told in all the nine Southern States
We wish they were all repealed. Nevertheless,
we have no fit terms i'll which to characterize
the monstrous lying which would represent the
entire White population OF the South as ds-
franchised. The complaint that, unless inc
ninety-nine choose to vote, the hundredth man
will have everything his own way, Is ike
complaiuing that, unless the sane people OF the
State Of NewYork choose to vote, the lunatics
will elect all the officers. Under every system
of suffrage yet accepted by nations Us JuS' Vi
wise it is those who vote, not those VINO st''y
at home. that control the results. we know Oh
no party that profits more by this than the
Democratic. which IN the Northern States Is al
WAYS ready enough to vote, and Will be equally
ready to vote at the South when silence ceases
IN he accepted instead.

PAROUT ADVERTISING.

II Is n great while since n new year has
opened upon severer depression of business
than the present. The holidays have lacked
much of their accustomed mer1ment; the shops
have not worn their usual Christmas gayety;
the purveyors of gifts have for the most part
contented themselves with furnishing up their
old stock and making as decent show with IT
as circumstances would permit; and the streets
have been less crowded than is their wont
about the close of the year with busy people
choosing presents for their friends and families
Almost every branch of trade has been dull all
the past season, and there is little prospect of
revival before Spring. Then we trust better
times may be in store for us.
We are not alone in our misfOrtunes. From
the Old World comes the same complaint OF
commercial stagnation. and from many oil the
English and Continental towns, no less than
from our brethren of the South, arises the cry
of tho starving. America indeed is not, and
for many generations cannot be, liable 10 the
periods of distress which every now and then
fall upon Europe. When trade Is dull In En-
gland and men are thrown out of employment,
hunger and misery follow as surely as night
follows morning. But here, If all else fails,
the boundless West is always open to the
emigrant: fertile homestead lands invite the
laborer TO work; wealth is always to be wrung
from the teemng earth by industry; and dis
tress can never be general or long continued.
The cities and towns may contain for q time
more operatives than they can find profitable
work for, but the surplus is soon drafted OIL
TO the farms; the Territories receive fresh
wave of immigration; the social balance re-
adjusts itself and all business rcvives.
In the meantime how are business men to
keep ahoatP Prudence and economy. of course,
are the two great lessons to be learned; bat
there is one part of these lessons which in dull
times is especially apt to be forgotten. BE
sure of one thing: whatever you have to sell,
there are many people ready to buy, even in
the most depressed seasons. Find them out /;
show them your wares; persuade them to buy
of you rather than another. When buyers are
reluctant, sellers must be active. 1t is neither
cheap nor sensible to sit still behind your counter
and wait for the hustle of trade to revive.
When business is dull, that is the very time to
advertise. In the first place that is when You
most need to advertise and in the second, that
is when people devote most time to reading
the newspapers, and when your advertisement
consequently is most generally seen. a few
dollars invested in the columns of THE TRIBUNE
will do more to revive a sluggish business than
anything else in the world.
New-York tribune., 1868-01-03

A philanthropic Southerner i'll Raymond.
Miss, writes us a long argument in favor of
colonzing the cOlOred race in the Territories
The only objections we need specify to the plan
are
T. That the colored man is free American
citizen, and has right to live where he pleases
If he wishes to remove, there are adequate means
already for his removal. The fact that out of
the 4,500 900 cOOred persons in the United States
only two or three scores or hundreds desire to
be colonized is sufficient reason why they
should not be.
g. The South needs at least as much labor as
it now has. The removal of 100000 laborers
would devastate the South worse than the Re-
bellion, unless their places were supplied 10y
others. Suppose the removal would cost 5000
each Ga low estimate), the entire removal and
replacement by new laborers would cost $780,,
0O0 700, and would not benefit anybody dime.
Such host would be eight times as large as
the host with which Napoleon invaded Russia,
and the actual cost Of transporting and setting
them would almost equal the cost of the war.
3. The statement that the two races cannot
live peaccaby together is incomplete. Which
race cannot live peaceably with the otherf The
black race certainly has lived peaceaby with
the white, has INCREASINGLY been enslaved by it
for 200 years. Would you drive out the sheep
because wolves could not live peaceably to-
gether7 or would you colonize the wolyesf IL
tho white race cannot live peaceably with the
black, lot the white race, If any, DO removed

THE CITY FINANCES.

We publish in another column complaint
from the Citizens Association to Controller
Connolly, the burden of which is, that large
balances are constantly kept on hand IN the
bank. averaging S2,j00,000, upon when the
City has been receiving no interest, Whlie 10
has been paying SIX or seven per cent on ah
equal sum in revenue bonds. These oohds are
issued in the Spring and Summer, III antlclpa-
ton of the taxes but although most OF the
taxes are paid during October and November,
the Revenue bonds are not made payable then,
but extended into the next year. On January
l. 1866, the balance in the Treasury was
S3. .397. .96G. This balance was caused In part by
s9,3O7,10O of revenue bonds issued in July and
August 1865, and still outstanding although,
from Oct 81 to Dec. 81, 1866. there was an
average balance of S5,26O,32j in the Treasury.
The object of keeping such large balances on
hand was to enable the Chamberlain to receive
four per cent for lending it to the banks.
In March, 1866, by the payment of the revenue
bonds, the balance was reduced to S1,l5l,252 a.
IL money were then needed to meet the obli'
cations of the city, it could have been borrowed
from the Sinking Fund, this account having
to its credit some S642 ,j13 SO then, and the loan
being mere transfer from one account to an
other on the books of the bank. Our financial
officers, however, instead of doing this borrowed
on revenue bonds in March S7O52O6, in April
1896, ,1OO and in May $1,2H3OO, although
during all this time there was an average
balance in bank of about S2,50O00O. In No
vember, 1866, the balance in bank amounted to
S7,63S,97S Is, upon which the city was losing at
the rate of $5OO,OOO year, and the Chamber
lain was receiving at the rate Of s3O5,559
year. or nearly $1,000 per day. The actual
loss to the public by this extraordinary system
of financiering was between S3O0o0o and $780,
900 year.
1t is due to Controller Connolly, however, to
say that the matters referred to in the Citizens
Association letter occurred previous to January
I. 1861. when his term of Office began
New-York tribune., 1868-01-03

The new year, which we have just entered,
bids fair to become of more than ordinary i'm
portance in the history of the East Asiatic
countries. In Japan, the whole form of gov
ernment is to be altered. The peculiar position
of the Tycoon, it seems, will he abolished, and
the Mikado will henceforth leave his eremitic
isolation and personally take notice, not only
of ecclesiastical, but of mundane affairs. A
Council of Daimios will assist him in the adj
mnistration of the country. Two new ports
will be opened on the first of January, two
Others on the first of April; among these four
are the two most important cities of the En-
pire-YedO and Osaca. In China, the time has
arrived when the celebrated treaty of 1853,
from which dates the intercOmmuniOn between
the Christian nations and the Chinese Govern
ment, will have to be revised. 1t is a remark
able sign, that the Chinese Government should
desire the United States Minister as its Com
missioner in conducting the important negotia-
tions relative to this revision.
New-York tribune., 1868-01-03
DJSFRA ANCHISEUENT OF REBELS.

A reactionary and quasi rebel paper has the
following relative to the effect of the clause
requiring all persons in the reconstructing
States, who oppose the new constitutions, to
express their opposition in the usual way, viz,
by voting
1.-THE abolition of this clause, which the Senate will
doubtless speedily join the House IN etectng, makes IL
impossible for the Whites OF the South, by refusing to
vote to defeat the negro constitutions. Ten negroes in
each state, a hundred negroes in ALL provided % only
oppose them, adopt these constitutions can
present them for acceptance TO Congress- whose action
ways doubtful thus not merely dispose OF 900
OF practically dsfranchsed Whites but also unless
the whole North Is sody united against them impose
President, government and governmental policy, upon
30,O00.OOO OF American freemen"
How near is this to the factsY The only
classes disfranchised in any of the States South,
except Alabama, are those who, having taken
an official oath to support the Constitution of
the United States, perjured themselves TO join
the Rebellion In Alabama, there are added to
this class all who desire to deprive any portion
of their fellow citizens of the right to vote.
This is no disqualification since any man can
be rid of it by simple mental act, viz: the
renunciation of the wish to do an injustice, to
restore oppression, to nullify the act of Con-
gress under which he votes.
None of these dsqualifcations are of our
seeking, and, if we had, the molding of recon-
struction, we would not only give the ballot to
all the loyal, but would freely allow every
Rebel to vote. Congress has seen fit to do
otherwise, and we bow to its will. But these
acknowledgements do not probably change the
result in a single Southern State. The Regis
tration, which includes only those who have the
right to vote, notwithstanding all disfranchis-
ing acts, shows that the enfranchised Whites
have clear majority over the cnfranchsed
Blacks in Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Georgia and Texas, while the Blacks have n
majority Of the registered voters in Alabama.
