The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1873-08-15

Col. GEO. EDGAR GRESHAM, editor of
the Union Flag, who died of cholera at
Jonesboro, East Tennessee, last week,
fell CALAMITY and nobly at the post OF
duty. All who co1ld had fed, and left
the poor and the sick in a deplora BILE
condition, to die neglected and go un~
buried. Col. GRESHAM was one of the
few brave spirits who remained to min
lister to the sick and bury the dead.
While thus engaged he died. All honor
to him! Eulogies have been passed
upon the physicians who faced the
great scOurge in its recent visit to Ten
nessee, but nothing has been said of the
noble work performed by the preachers
and the editors. BOYERs, of the Gala
Tin Examiner; the editors of the Nash
vile papers; KIRBY, of the Chattanooga
Times; Russ, of the Shelbyville Rescue;
HENDERSON, of the Mursfreesboro
ECrS; DR.. WHITE, of the Lebanon Her.
AID; HANDY, of the Union City Courier;
all remained at their posts like good
soldiers, and bravely battIed against the
dread disease.

VERY naturally, the people of Nash
Vile are anXiously discussing various
plans for securing the city against the
possibility of another cholera visitation.
Nashville is not simply responsible to
herself for all she does or fails to do in
that direction, but she is also RESPONSE
BILE to every town and county in Mid
die Tennessee, because, whatever affects
the health or commerce of the State
capital, affects them in the same way.
When cholera becomes epidemic at
Nashville, it spreads to the neighboring
towns and counties. We have recently
seen it carried from the city to Gallatin,
Lebanon and ShelbyYille, and rage
with great violence, where it would not
have gone if Nashville had been in good
sanitary condition. Nashville, then,
owes it 10 the people of Middle Tennes~
see, to be entirely regardless of cost in
making herself clean and unfit fer the
foul embraces of the AsiatIc monster.

ACharge ofCorruption.

A recent number of the Nashville
Bulletin, weekly Radical paper, COM
tains very serious charge against the
Comptroller of the Tennessee Treasury.
1t states that w. w. HOBBS, who was
elected Comptroller by the Legislature
received 2,OCO to resign the Office. Col
JOHN @. BURCH, the present Comptroll~
or, published a card in reply to the
charge, in which he stated:
"I never bought Mr.. HOBBS Office nor
authorized any one else to buy it from
him. never spoke nor wrote to Mr.
HOBBS about his resigning, nor author
| lied any one else to speak or write to
! him upon the subject. never paid him
cent directly or indirectly, nor COM
tracted, nor agreed to do SO. never
authorized any one else to pay, nor
contract, nor agree to pay him anything
to secure his resignation, nor for any
| other purpose. meyer had a bargain
with him of any sort, and never au>
thorized any one else to bargain with
him for me Or In my behalf. owe him
nothing and never did. have paid
nothing to get the Office which 1 now
hold, nor have promised to pay any
thing to Mr.. HOBBS or to any one else"
Capt. HOBBS published card on the
18th inst, sustaining Col. BURoH in his
denial of the BHEetin's allegations. he
says:
81 will further state that the present
incumbent, the Hon. JNo. G. BURCH,
never approached me upon the subject
of my resignation, either by act, word,
insinuation or otherwise, and that did
not know that he was to be my sucess-
or until he handed me his Commission
to take charge of the Office, after my resi-
ignation was accepted"
This denial is accompanied by written
statements of physicians to the effect that
Comptroller HOBBS was, as he alleged
at the time of his resignation, in pre-
carious condition of health, and that the
duties of Comptroller were calculated to
increase his predisposition to consump~
ton. Capt. HOBBS reiterates his asser-
ton that his bad health caused him to
resign his position, and very mildly
suggests that the Bulletin charge was
simply for political effect. We are in
clined to believe so too; for it is in the
habit of attacking any and everything
that is not Radical. But there is one
weak point in Capt. HOBBS card; while
he denies that Col. BURCH bought
the Office of Comptroller from him, he
fails to deny that anybody else ap-
preached him with a proposition to buy
him out. Let the matter be thoroughly
investigated, and lift can be proven
that there was any bargain and sale con-
nected with Capt. HoBBs' resi- gnation,
let him and all concerned, receive the
execration of everybody. In the mean
while, the burden of proof rests with the
Bulletin. 1t has failed, SO far, to make
| good its assertions.

The excitement at ROgersville in
REGARD to thc cholera is very great.
From all we can gather, however, it
seems the alarm is entirely unneCes-
sary. The case of the engineer whose
death has been mentioned in these
columns, is the only real case that
has happened there. The Fremont
tory symtoms of a few who imag-
ined they had the disease, have so
frightened the citizens that great
many families have sought prOtec-
ton among the mountains.
Knoxville Chronicle, 10TH.
From the mail agent on the west

day that the news from JOnesbOro

NIGssv Greek is down with the chol-
era and is considered to be in criti-
cal condition. 1t is said he contract
ed the disease at Bulls Gap. From
