President of the Galreston Board of Heaiia, from Dr.

Herri cfc. Secretary of the IoTiraa Board. Tbe telegram was published in tbe Gal i eelou News yesterday morning, aad has produced a decided effect in taas city, berrerai members of tbe board have resigned, ard great confusion and excite it prerail. The News Lm changed ite toco on the quarantine qaesUou. It formerly ta spotted the aetata of tbe Board of Health, but now adrises tbe raising of quarantine.

Tbe steamship Colocado. of tbe Mallory Line, is still held outtide the bar with some twenty fire passengers on board and a foil cargo of freight from New York. Gov. Egberts baa, as yet, taken no action on tbe address of tie Galveston board. This is tbe tenor of the dispatch.

The following explanation may assws to a correct of the existing state of aSairs: Tbe steamship Colorado left 8k Thomas en July 25'Jb for New York, and there loaded with freight and passengers for GalTeston. Before lear mg New York she obtained permission from tbe Galveston board to enter that port. After tbe Colorado had left hew York the citizens of Houston discovered the fact that pemriwwm had been granted to tbe steamer to ester the port at Galveston in violation of tbe Governor's proclamation, which forbade tie entrance of ail vessels touching at ports south oi latitude 20 north. itne Houston Board called the attention of tbe Garret ton Board to this fact he latter taking pactum, Houston then threatened to qnaractise against which the Galveston board reeacsidered their action and declined to admit the Colorado. Ttey referred the mattes to tbe Gorernor, wbo replied that tbe ship could enter prorided perroiasioa was obtained by unanimous consent of the Galrestoa board.

Therfcupoi, this body was mt mbVrd and tbe rose being taken on tbe question re suited in 5 for admission and 3 against. The ship realised outtida. The next dir another meetinz was called, and a unanimous rote giren in faror of admitting tbe Colorado. Houston took steps to quarantine, and it appears that the Gorernor then interfered aid held tbe ship for inreeuga tion. This is the situation at present.

It does seem that GalTeston cannot hold cat roach longer, bat will presently sex reader at discretion. A BAD BTKKT. Dear mt Brr, Mr. Wayaa at width. i BKdTfrf WkB Bach.

Collector Badger, like Postmaster ilc atiiiw baa departed on a leave of absence. 1. be former's departure partook strongly of an Arab like character, and erery meats wag taken to conceal it until after be waa well on his way to the Korth. It is impossible for any great and istinguishedtman to leave the Costom House for a oay without exciting a deal of political gossip. In Badger's case strong efiort is being made by his friends to prove he is of on a mere holiday trip, with which politics has nothing to do.

This, howerer, will prore a hard task, as it is authoritatirely asserted he has been called to Washington to satisfy the Gor ernment that he can be relied on to sup port the Administration can oi Gate xor the Republican Presidential nomination. If be can give this assurance, his tea Tirecf office is safe, but if otherwise, he will hare to share the common fate of ail and bid a long farewell to all his former greatness.

TW aa4 PI ta Iraee ef KreetSea at ike Pmpbs CBtwtatc4 A repreeentatire of the Picayune in rpectfcd yesterday the site of the exand prpe which is to be erected by tbe Water Works Coaipaay in the yard ta the rear of the pmarisg station.

This pips is to be about IbO lees in height, and it is necessary to coDetrnct for it a massre foundation. For this parpoe forty nine large piles hare been cures into the ground a rfifitr of thirty fire feet and the spaces between them filed in with concrete, npon the top of wfcish are deposited thick iayers of stone. This portion of the work will sbortly be completed, and the stand pipe can tben be erected. By tp" of this improrement, when perfected, water may be raised to a mncb higher eeratioo than is at present poamble. The repairs on tbe two basins of the reservoir will be nnisbed in due coarse of time; the broken wails hare for tbe most part been replaced by new masonry, and it rsmaisa only to remore from the basins the aecozcoJation of debris.

The company has receired a rery large quantity of iron pipes, wnich, bowerer, cannot be pot into poaiuon until the winter season. excarati0sa being prohibited during the feommer season. Among other improTeaasaits contemplated is the location os the battsre fronting tbe pmsping station of a new taring a capacity of 25.Oii0w0 gTwrr, with 150 feet lift, per wenty foar boora. There are two engines already in one with a capacity of 14.0W, OXi. with 100 feet lift, and tbe other "CCOUG and fry feet lift, in 24 botxra.

It is alleged that when these rarioos improTeireBta are isade the rerennes of the coir pax will be rery largely ereased. and of this there can be no reasonable donbt. The system ahoala be enlarged to keep pace witb popolatios. and extension of the inhabited area the rerenne may naturally be expected to angment in direct proportian to tbe expansion of the facilities for fnr water to oonsamers. cmt THE AZOO AFFAIR.

tbe Kllllaa PIxm. OhcmiMd fraaa a Ceatlt aa Recewxly Arrlred frm iWUm dry. From a citizen of New Orleans who has inst returned from Yazoo City, it is ascertained that the killing of H. M. Dixon, itdepetdett candidate for Sher 2.

by Ju. A. Barkadale, candidate for cnan cery Clerx. which erent occarred on Tnesday. reeulted from personal enmity and oa tot grow out oi paaucs.

informant alleges that such was tbe hostility entertained by Dixon for Barks date that the latter waa in fear tor his life. In fact, he stated on Sunday that he expected to be killed by Dixon at any time. He based that belief an threats made the latter, who is represented as a man of bad character, a gambler, and desperado. In January, 1T be sailed Samuel Harrison, a native of Yazoo City, on or about the identical spot where he was himself slain by Barksdale. He is also said to hare killed other men in Yazoo county.

His bad reputation and attempt to conduct a canrass on the race issue greatly embittered the feelings of the white population against him. On Tuesday Baikadale waa informed that he might be attacked at any moment by Dixcn. Hence when he met the latter he fired upon him, with tbe result already published. Tfe ran an of Dixon's enmity will not be divulged until the trial takes place, but it is attributed to the part taken by Barkadale in showing up' Dixon, as witness tbe following Yazoo Crrr. Aug.

"lbeie ia but little pertirent to the case in the card of Citizaa He placas a rtry low eetlmate upon the intelligence tf the reading public to prasame to frichKn me with the fLLmty caarge of Bxvocating communism.

It is proposed to sell public property, and tne city ought to hare the right to say on what terms she will sell it. The piaa I proposed, that is. toe baais cf 6 per cent, interest for capital, promises the largest results.

is called communistic. li communism consists in endeavoring to get tbs most for tbe exclusire use of common property. I am a communist. If the efiort of an imporeriahed dry to dictate to capitalists what they shaJ pay for rights which she has to sell, and which tbty wiah to enjoy for their own proat. I am a communist.

If giving information to tbe people, showing the trae ralae of a Dortion of their common pro party which is about to be sold is communistic. I a communist If suggesting a legal and proper means whereby the incubus of debt rianging over New Orleans can be lightened, is communistic, then 1 am a eommutisi. If la boiinc to aare what litUa of ralae there ia left to this long plundered city is communistic, I am a communist. They are not communists wbo would seek to appropriate the use of the pubhc property for their own emolument with out proper compensation They are not mriiUiiista who assert inalienable, tx tlosi re rights to common property. The word ia unfortunate.

Thts a case ot Communism. Tneprinlegea "watch are to be sold are beld in common by ail tie people of the city.

As I uaderstand it, all eonnecticn between the City Baiiroad Company and these franchises eeasea at the end of the existing notarial contract with tha city, which ettpniasrs: Tte taid railroad, cars, futures, aao aad other appurtenances shall rerert td the city at tbe expiration of said weary years pririleee on a valuation to be aa eerrarced by two diainterested persons, cnetobe appointed by the contractor or ecu tractors and the other by the city az. in the erent of a disagreement as to sm1 raiuation by said persons thua ap pointed, a third party or umpire anaa oe AppUnted by one of the district coarse, the decision thereby had to be fiaal This contract was approved February S. lCQ, so that the rights of this company, under its first grant, expires next February. I see no reason for the city going through the form of adrertiaing tor proposals far this privilege after next Februarr. if there is to be no competition pon what grounds does the City Kailroad Coaopany assume that my remarka rela tire to the next company that is to get tbe franchise appbea to it 1 If this com etiuve bidding ia no a mockery, haw do they know that they will est ta franchise I wo a id be loth to draw inferences from the poaitioa these writers hare taken.
