OUR BOARD OF HEALTH.
Who They Arc and What Tiey Are
Advice 30 Few DisseufionisGs--
Port Physicians, Etc.

Dissention will sometimes inconsis
tently prevail in the most quiet and
welI-organiEed communities, especially
where the laws, rules and regulations
do not meet in measure with the re-
quirements of, or is not peculiarly
adapted to, the private interests or mu-
tual views of few of that class who
never accord with such means as will
best facilitate the ends of ''peace, har-
moay and protection.
Much has been said and done by
some OF our citizens censuriDg the
action of our board of health in the
enactment and passage of their present
rules and regulations governing the
health of our port.
In our judgment we fail to realize or
perceive upon what grounds or from
what cause or reason any dissension or
objection could be based in opposition
to the rules and regulations which now
exist and are enforced by the board of
health.
Our board as created is composed of
gentlemen every one of whom are
largely and personally identified with
the commercial interests OF this port
and county, and whose reputation US
men of honest integrity. intellect and
professional ability cannot be disputed;
therefore We will venture to say that any
laws or provisions made by these gen.
tlemen for the protection of the health
of our port and city ought certainly to
be recog nized and explicitly observed.
The appointment of DR.. T. N. b o mt
as Quarantine physician was one which
we believe to have been approved of by
our citizens. Since his appointment we
have never heard of single instance
wherein he has knowingly committed
or has acted in opposition to
the laws which direct him in the dis
charge of his duties. His reputation
as quarantine physician in Pensacola
should be sufficient proof to assure our
citizens that he is experienced in his
duties, and that the health interests of
our port will be safely protected and
cared for.
We trust that this invective oensure
d the actions OF the board of health,
md of the duties of the quarantine
physician, will be ceased. aud that
pirit of general harmony prevail, in-
tead of strife and dissatisfaction,

Mr. VAN VoRHRs, the Democrat says:
"The SPIRIT forgot to add that there

that instead of bowine his knee to the

The more the list of ayes and noes i

that the hetter elements OF both partie:

Those who ought to be best informed
on the subject, maintain that in the i'm
pending war between Russia and Tur
key, the former will be required to put
forth her utmost exeriions before subdu
ing the. latter. The generally received
opinion has been that Russia could fall
upon Turkey; and crush her in o single
campaign, but Enropeon writers take 6
different view of the subject sis7
1t appears upon examination that the
disparity in the numbers Of effective
men they can bring into the field is not
so great as was supposed. 1t is also
vcIaimed that Russia is in much the same
situation she was in the Crimean war
and that France was in during the Fran
co.Prussian war: TEat she is stronger
on paper than in the iield-tbat there is
lack of discipline in her troops, and es
pecially that there is want of system and
completeness in her commissary and
ouartermaster departments. To this is
added grave doubts as TO the skill of he'

The credit OF Russia is much better
than that Of Turkey and she is therefore
better able to withstand the waste and

TRENTON, Jan. 80 The report Of Mr.!
Fackler, the expert appointed by Srcre-
tary Of State Kelsey, to examine into the
affairs of the New Jersey Mutual Life In
surance Company, commences with a
statement that the annual report of 1875
was grossly incorrect, Slso,000 having
been omitted from the liabilities, which
amount is shown on the Company's
books and private balance sheet. There
is ample proof of false statement, and
the examination of the books brought
out many strange entries which no one
could explain but the President, and he
fcould not be found. The bookkeeping
isextremely complicated, especially in
the New York Office. The loan, bond
and mortgage books give no information
at ALL Efforts to get at the books were
frequently renewed without success :
They were finally shown to him. He thel
reports the assets to be estimated as fol
lows: Loans on mortgages, S373,500
U. S. bonds, S150,O00; State bonds, $685.
600; CASH in bank, $4,000; premium
loans, $3.50, 600; accrued interest and
rent, 10000; net unpaid deferred premi
Eums. S240, 900 Total. 81, 20S,500 The
total liabilities are put down at $780,.
600, leaving an apparent deficit Of S42l,-
500. The business has been very loosely
conducted, and the internal affairs appear
to be very carelessly administered. The
minute books have been carelessly kept,
as appears from thereport of Joseph L
Narr, who examined them. The Presi
dent failed to attend the examination
made by Nafr. Mr.. B. Stratton reports
the book keeping 10 be exceedingly de.
ceptive entries of thousands of dollars
are not explained; three leaves are torn
out of the journal, and a number Of i'm.
perfections are reported. The Secretary

the advantage. Her troops are now in
the field; the Servian war has given them
recent experience, and they are flushed
with victory won in every engagement,
1t was said during the Crimean war
such was the obstinate courage Of th'
Russian soldier, that af;er being shot il
was necessary to go tn him and pusl
him over. But against ibis is to be con
sidered the intense fanaticism of thu
Turk, and his vengeful hatred of his en-
cmy. Among military men the Turk
are ranked with the hest fighters in Eu
rope, and their fiery zeal is believed to bs
a full match for the famous frmness o
the Russians.
Yet Notwithstanding the authorities
and the arguments, we incline to the be-
lief that Russia is az overmatch for Tur
key.
