NTOsby Not Coming Home.

Special to the Courior-JournaI.l
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Colonel
John s. Mosby has decided not to
return home and aid his friend Ma
hone in the coming campaign in Vir-
einia. Mosby hardly offers a fair
explanation Of his change of base.
He simply says that the duties Of his
Office will prevent him from returning
to Virginia at an early day. Mosby,
who is clever politician, no doubt
scents the sure defeat OF the Repub-
licans, and has decided to keep o1tof
the mess and stick to his Office,

CEEATHAMI,S CONTEsr.I
A Contested Election Argued Before
the Governor.

Yesterday at twelve O'Clock a very inter.
esting contested election case was argued
before Governor Colquitt by j. j. Abrams
and P. w. Meldrim, OF Savannah. The case
involved the Office of Justice OF the Peace
of the Seventh militia district OF Georgia,
in Chatham county. AT the election for
Justice of the Peace OF this district, held a
short time since, Henry Beiber, a white
man, who has been the Justice of the Peace
of that district for several years past, re-
ceived 90 votes, and Ralph Sheppard,
new candidate, received 143 votes. The
contestant, Beiber, claims that OF the
142 votes cast for Sheppard there are
so of them that are illegal, for
reason of the fact that the voters of
these ballots had not paid their taxes
and registered In accordance with the regis
tratlon laws Of Chatham county. Ga the
other hand, Sheppard holds that of the SO
votes cast for Beiber, there are 13 that he
has proof are Illegal, and that he believes
to be Illegal, although he has no proof that
they are. The most important point argued
before the Governor was whether the regis
tratiOn laws of Chatham county governed
the election of Justice Of the Peace in that
county. Messrs. Abrams and Meldrim, af-
ter arguing the case, returned home, leaving
the matter in the hands of the Governor.
Sheppard, the cOlored man, we learn, was
the candidate put forward by the rice plant
ers of that district, who, knowing hun to be
a good negro, preferred him to Beiber, who
they claim is constantly stirring up strife
among the eolored people Of that section

SAVANNAH, GA, March 2.--Edttor MorssiaQ
NeaOs: "Of the dead say nothing but what
is good" Such was the maxim of the
ancients before Christianity was preached:
but in the present advanced age-according
to the language used by Gland Lacquer In
your issue OF this morning-we are less civ
ilized than the ancients, for he would alter
the maxim and make 1t read, "Of the dead
say nothing but what is bad" Such ignor-
ance and fanaticism as is displayed in his
letter, entities him to a prominent place
amongst the bigots of the age. Daniel o.
Connell-whom both continents allude to in
language of which all Irishmen should feel
proud-is arraigned before the readers of the
News as "a right loyal loyalist of the
British crown" Why, O'Connell suffered
imprisonment because he WaS not a 'loyal
loyalist," nor anything else that pleased the
British Government. He was of the people
and beloved by the people: and l doubt
whether the paltry mind who speaks i'll of
him is not a representative of some other
class-and more fitting one for him-than
that he should be In any way allied with the
Land Leaguers. "Will-o-the wispsn like
your correspondent must possess himself of
larger soul ere he attacks an O'Connell
whom Montalambert eulogized.

THE WATER SUPPLY.
SOME Important Suggestions.

At the meeting of Council last evening
the following important paper from DR.. j.
G. LeHardy, Chairman of the committee,
was submitted, showing the action of the
Georgia Medical Society On q subject Of
deep and vital interest to this community:
The weekly reports made by the members
Of this society show that Ia the last fifteen
years great change has taken place in the
prevailing types Of diseases. Since the in
auguration of the drainage system the ma
larial element has very much diminIshed
and from the time of the adoption Of the
present system of sewers with house con-
nection, the class Of ssfilth" diseases has
been on q steady increase. Whether this Is
owing to the exhalation of sewer pas into
the streets, or its direct Introduction into
houses; whether from the increased number
OF water closets into dwellings, defects in
the construction Of traps, or bad plumbing.
the cause exists, and some means for fts re-
moval must be devised. Water Is one of
the best disinfectants and purifiers that Is
known, and should be supplied in sufficient
quantities to meet all the wants Of our peo-
pie, but complaints are made every day. bv
all classes, that 1t Is not supplied in sufTi
cient quantities or with sufficient pressure
to cleanse the water closets and drainage
pipes. That these complaints are we'll
grounded is quite evident to any one who
has investigated the subject. It was on sc-
count of these frequent complaints, together
with the increase of malignant diseases.
that the Medical Society took the matter
under consideration and appointed this
committee to inquire into the causes.
Your committee applied to the Secretary
Of the Water Works, who cheerfullv fur
nished the data at his command. From this
It was ascertained that the maximum daily
supply Of water is 2, 1886, 1853 gallons. and the
minimum 2, 000, 800 gallons, or about 1872 gal
Ions per head of those using hydrant water.
or ~ gallons per head for the entire popu-
lation. A comparison of this with statistics
obtained from other cities shows that the
supply is ample.
The height of our service reservoir is 81
feet above the level of the street, and would
furnish pressure enough to carry the water
into the fourth and fifth story of our build
ings, with head enough to make It useful,
provided the means supplied for its trans
mission were adequatesr
AS the fact shows that the supply of
water Is not sufficient to serve its full pur-
pose at any considerable distance from the
reservoir, aud as this insuficiency is a
source Of great danger to the public health,
your committee would recommend your
society to bring the matter up before the
City Council for full examination OF the
subject, and with an urgent appeal from
your body requesting them to act upon 1t
Immediately.

Committee.
