We preaent the foUowina- facU for eoDiid- eration, ao that onr roadera maybe able to judge for themaalrea of the great importanoe ox onr Healtn organizatioa: Prior to the organisation of the Board of Health, the open Beware which drain the north-western part of the city (comprising aboat oca-third of its wboia axtontV also Decrcreck aewtr, were constantly freighted with animal offal, in Tariooa stages of decomposition, and exhaling box ions and dis gusting odors.

Sorer! af the leadiag eltrran oT thia ward, Interested in reel eataVdMaatiSeir before the Ccart of Common Pleas that property ia the eighteenth Ward has been nfaaoeed to tha amoant of at least ton cVlare per foot by the moral therefrom of the aoap- linass and tanking establishments, (that one made John and Findlay and Livingston streets so notorious,) through the rigorous efforts of tho Board of Health. This ward contains aboat four hundred acre of ground, ao that the in stead Talae placed upon the tax duplicate will return more than sufficient money to pay all the expanses of the Health Department.

There wore 6,097 deaths during the year 1864, and 3,604 ia 1867. During to latter ytar to re were no deatn from cholera, bile in I860 they numbered 3,040. Deduct ing this number from the total aaatiu of 1966, and we hare th fallowing neaihs In IMatas la tasr. Xecreaas So, that lcaring out of tb calculation tha number of death from cholera, there were four hundred aad fiitj -three lire sxred'in IbffT, aa compared with the niuai jrta'tty rate of the preceding year. It woold be dif-Scult to place a proper estimate apia the Talus of this number of human lire but we may approximate the amount of the expense that weald necessarily be Incurred by the sickness and burial say fifty dollars each.

At this rats there would thus bo expended $22 650. The statisticians of Eorope, ai well as tboee of our ccuatry, inform that there are twenty-eight cases of sickness for erery death that occurs, eoaseqoratly there mast hare been 12 684 more people sick la Cincin nati in 156 than tbere war ia 1867, (leanog out cholera cases and deaths) Each on of these 12 684 sick people would sustain a loss. for medicine, doctors' fees, a loss af time and bailees, of at least tea dollars, making a total loss of $126 840. Wa then, the following exhibit on account of sickness and death in fayar of the year 1867. Xxren aaarber alek la lass.

Or a earing of this amount of mrary to the people of Cincinnati in tha yeas 1867, as a result of th rigid oforoameat of th sanitary measure promulgated by the Board af flealth. Bnt thia subjf ct present yet other aspects which should demtnd the eeriou coasidera-tion of our legisla'xirs and erery philanthro pist. It is always tha poor, tha ignorant and dependant classse of a city that muit suffer fiisr. and chiefly hy tha sacrifice of lire! and hem is floes eta, at the unrestrained march of disrate; hence, tba woes orphanage, widowhood and pauperism, and crims, also, are pre petitioned to th sickness aad mortality of a place, and ht see, too, our pan pi population has btea dimiaished, crime has been dimia-iahed, and, therefore, our city expenses hare be i roportlonately dimiaished, both directly and indirectly, by the oaring of life aad the prevention of diaras to the extent here sho wa.

Tha Health Department is not eipenxire in any sense. Too chief expanses are the salary of tha Health Offioer, the sal ary of tha Clerk, blank books and printing, about $600 making a total of only $4 800. The Sanitary poiioa axa rryalar lice detailed from time to time aa their eer- rices are deemed necessary for this special cnrDoaa. and when they are not needed for special duty they are assigned to regular duty bv the Mayor. Durinf tha oast winter there ware bjt four, and part of the time only three, poticemea on duty as sanitary polios.

The members of the Board of Health serve without compensation. So expense is in- i. a fnr office rent. therefore ex press the hope that none of the rrDresentatirrs from tats couaty will giro this bill hi sanction by prasenaog it. rTrom the Oaytoa CO.) I-edxer ink.

That a Demosrat will ba elected, no one caa aad therefore a nomination will be equivalent to an election.

In fact, it in- dulges In more of that newspaper renown CTn weU iigftt Fr0m toTNorthern journals, I see that the telegraph seems inadequate to do the subject justice; and you adolescent people north of Belit Biviere, who think yon have a seasation in a skating rink, an oO well, or an impeachment, do not possess the ecstatic happiness and joyous wonder af a sensation that will eaase each particular hair to stand on and, and your, newspaper columns to omirer with electrical intelligence and bristle with eickmsstioo points. Unhappy mortals Por ths past fortnight, this city has beea on the verge of comb ration, which, though, is not ths first instance of a like possibility as am phis would not he itself did it not agitato ths nerves of th community aad illuminate the police- gazette at least once a week. You will remember that wa indulged in tids-pat time about two-years ago, when a few of tbe gentle sons, of A Vic's dims and Bom gentlemen from the) Kmarald Isle had a "discussion wits sticks," concerning th princrpies-of squatter sovereignty. The subject wa referred to- that benefioent institution, a- Gangrene iocal Cbcaoaitiee, who rend ered the -subject clear as mad.

The seeds then sown fell into, fruitful soil, and the result of the election on, the 7th Inst, was th appropriate crop.

It should be dene, for the fraud is so palpable and disgraceful that an ejectissi af the Kidioals would (imply aa act of honest and patriotic duty.

It certainly will ba ruinous policy to permit, so infamous a swiadla to pass without senna protest. It is aot alone ia Memphis that the Radicals made a clean sweep; but in eiaiy part of tba State the negroes were csjoledtaoa forced to role their ticket. Tbe devil snly knows what persuasions and promises they hare offered the ignorant blacks to maka-Eumans and outlaws of themselves. As wo- know from the aimii and character of th Radical leaders hire and else where in tha State it will in no benekt to the nmrroaaaj a class. A few of the most ones wili get some petty offices by appointment, which will only put them at the mercy of the Radicals in authority: for they willae used as the means of forwarding tbe devilish machinations On Brownlow Co.

Last Saturday election day there appeared in the local column of the Avalanekt a tommanieation from a negro first published ia the Ledger charging Hunter aad other Radicals with swindling and other Radical arcompiisbmeota. For this th Judge immediately issued a mittimus, committing the local editor to jail, to remain till "purged ot contempt." day following, the chief-editor aad proprietor of the paper, Col. M.

0. Gailaway, made some sever editorial comments on that evtnt, and defied Hunter to do his worst. Too days after, another mUtimtu was issued, committing the Colonel to jail, and to pay tea dollars fine. This, leaving the Arilancke without editors, Gailaway Immediately assumed control over th columns. and the next morning; the paper appeared with several articles bom her pen, all evincing as ability and fearlessness that was quite refreshing when ccmpared with the paucity aad puerile servility of the editorials ia tbe other hevy morning dailies of the city.

They were well written, and, considering tbe circumstances, e'eer of paSjioa and ill-temper. It would redound greatly to the advantage of tha aforesaid heavy dailies wer some of the old grannies connected with them supplanted by some lire woman who could writ as Mr. G. does. That's my opinion, and many other sagacious aad highly respectable people agree with me.

On Friday last the two editor were released on kabtta eorjntt, to appear on Monday morning next, before the Municipal Court. So cada the first act of thia sensational drama sensational ia more than one respect, for wbo knows what th last act may result int. A LOYAL SCALLA WAS. 1 A word as to this Hunter. He is a Northern importation, and on of those despicable nuisances so prevalent about couaty offices, wbo possess such capacious msws for the little drippixgs of the treasuries and public funds; one of that execrable race of skulkers during the war, who used to sit about oa their haunches, praying and croaking for the destruction of the South; urging beardless bojs into tbe army, and oppressing soldiers' families with heavy rent rolls; aa infinetesei-mai atom of tha Immaculately "loyal" class of war advocates, who claimed all tha loyalty, morals, intelligence aad "gTat ideas wbo were too cowardly and dishonest to fight the battles their fanaticism invoked.

Tb species is too well known to need furtucT description. This Hunter is a fair specimen of race, and, lik tbe 0cum of all revolutions, succeeded ia coming into public notice. Hs is from Illinois, near Caiit were formerly he attempted to practice music, forsooth! As an admin, istrator npo be was a success for his own I hare the evidence that he forgot, in one to make a re tarn ia valuable estate, thereby pocketed th proceeds. Like all leeer upon community, ho professed many among them, as a musician ia a bt? band a tromboniat, a jawbonist, or sometJUg Of that blowhard character. During tbe urar he drifted dowa to this dty receiving aa impetus from Cairo ia the shape of "decayed hen fruit," cast at his loyal carcass by member of that iadignaat community.

By some chicanery, in the nature of which I am not posted, be was made Judge of the Crimiaai Court of all positions, th least qualified for, morally mentally, or legally; which be bas proven by making himself so eootemptible that it will be no wonder if he should leave Memphis at ao very distant day with the same compliment fee received on his departure from Cairo. ma xxab.

is, lass. I see by a dispatch in' the Daily JCmqvirer ef March IS, 1868, that on William Hunter, of Memphis, Tennessee, is pro-lacing quite a sensationy by his arbitrary aal vindictive course ss a judge. A short biography of this dispenser of jut dee may assist yos ia forming a just ap-predatloa-af his moral worth; you have not already fully comprehended bint. He cams- to Mercer Countyy haoy about the year 147. He prof eased to be a Demo crat, and acted with -that part js and) gained the confidence of the people to-sueh an extent that, iw 1851, tbey elected hiae Treasurer of this couaSy, and in IcS3 he wa re-elected.

Soon after his re-election, he was suspected of being a Maulter, and at tha June session of the Conafy Commissioner an investigation was bad, and he waa tone to bo in arrears to the amount af $6, 14b t3 Thia amount he left for his bail to pay. He haa never event offered to refund to his bail any portion of ike amount pel it by them for his defalcation. Hia bontlamen were net only his stoiirieelVbot pertonal Mends, A man of honor would -beae at least manifested soma disposition toe-eliev those wbo bad befriended him, and were aaaoa the sufferers by hsa misdeed -battue ha not been the case with this who, if he had any honor woald never have been selected by the Radicals aa a fit eubject-to-do their bidding aad dirty work. The amount for whiehie eras defaulter, and tbe manner in which he deported himself before and after bis detalcaUoa was known, led the people, to believe that it waa a oase ot em-btsxlensent, and it waa laid before the Grand Jury at th Kovembea term, 1866, of tbe Court of Common IMeaa, and an indictment, found for embtxslemeaa. A warrant was issued, and.

this dtUctajL eeianiaal judge aCt Mempbie waa arrested and imprisoned. Akibe-Apxil folio wins', of said Court ha appeared through, hia counsel for a chaaoa. of anwr, upon toe grounds that public seoiL- mutt was against hint, and that aa impartial trial could not be-bad ia the couaty, sindiUie Court granted hia. request. It is not my Te Call In questioa the deciaion of she Judge, but ia has always appeared to.

me that no act of mea are so qualified to. do impartial justice toon on trial as those wbo are best cqriajBtd with the man, and with whom he has Used. If he is a worthy man they knov it; and it would have its weight ia Lis mves. if, however, the sever be true, then a change of reams wod be quite necessary to secure an acquittal, and Billy's ease camw-wader the latter head, in ki judgment. At the same time he feigned poverty, and applied for an allowance to pay bis counsel, and ths Court allowed $Ux tor that purpose; and at that time he had relative in this and on of tha arjoining counties, who were abexdantly able to furalah aaoney, and would hare done so if they had believed him innocent of the charge or an able to turn is hwn nana of bis own for hia defense.

The removal of the case to the adjoining county, the difh cult ia forcing the attendance of witnessas, Ac, cut of tbe county where tbe offense was committed, together with the continual increase ot liabilities upon tbe county, in duced tb con hi issioners to direct a softs pros Cxi to be entered, which was done. After tbe conclusion of the criminal cue this Judge Hunter lift for the West, and talk, up his abode in the Stat of Illinois, where by resided till the beginning of tho late war. Reports say commanded a regiment in the Union army. If so, I suppose it was for the purpose of gain, and aot out of love of country or devotion to public liberty. It was from the same cause ttat induced Beast Butler to join the army and gather in tha spoons, snd Banks to sacrifice tb army under his command to save the catton.

From th day he left here he has acted with the Republican party, and made perches ia favor of Radicalism. Tnis was to be expected, for, as soon as a man disgraces himself, he Is sure to seek refuge in the Radical party, and is soon taken up and placed ia power by them. Of hia legal qualifications, I need not speak. If be professes any, he has acquired them since leaving here. Why he should have been appointed or elected to such a position, I caa cot divine.

I suppose, however, it was for tb reason that he is a pliant tool ia tbe hands of Governor Brownlow, the di vine and the Rump. Tbe questions be honest? is he canabltT" are BO longer asked by these dispensing favors in Tennessee; but is be for Congress? caa he stea will he sacrifice bif country and race for party?" are the questions that must have been propounded by tbe men who now hold office in that State. Tie facts I have presented are matters of record in this county, and caa be well established, both from th records and also from th mouth of all oar citizena who li red here at tbe time they occurred.

The course seemed to be sooth-west, from th damage dona, although elsewhere we may hear of equal injury. The terrible blow lasted for nigh one hour, although tbe principal damage was done during the hurricane rag of some two or three minutes.

At the Asylum the damage was considerable, the middle portion of the main building having been unroofed of five or six squares of tin covering; the cow-shed having been Mown down, and tba wagoa-hed almost demolished tha middle portion of the gas house was also considerably dsmaged, while the fencing, trees, shrubbery, Ac, were prostrated and sent fljiig in every direction through th air. In th cow-shed and stables were serea heed of cattle and five bores, to none of wnicb, both fortunately and strange, sot ths slightest Injury done. Several wsgon ana euer vehicles were ia the wsgoa -house, which also escaped almost totally unscathed. We also hear of aa unfinished frame build-irg, oa East Fifth street, that was blown down or demolishad. fo due as yet to th amount of damage.

Tbe loss is estimated at tha asylum, by the steward, Mr. Hester, to wbot we are Indebted far the statement, at from fir to seven thousand doUara. Mr. F.

"The suppressed reports' give amounts, and seem inditfereato mistakes, frauds and rob-baries. Tbe wsstefu extravagance in the mecnan-i ical maDagement of the Bureau was ths pre-1 text for extortions, peculations, corruptions, an Denes ana conspired ss oetweeo contractors of every kiaitt ot material aad machinery, operators, managers and ntploytt. These things were believed to be well known to tbe Secretaries of the Treasury.

Bvery fair investigation waa suppressed, and where tbe fraud were made knosm they at. traoted but little attention from the Secretaries of tha Treasury, who seemed to have, eo further, business in their office than te. plunder tUe eouatry, oppress the people, erU amass enormous torluatS. There is no doubt but that these eleclsOt types ba-ne been duplicated, triplicated, audi quadrupliaated aa list tuts ia all of the bands, Treaenxy -notes aad fractional currency. So.

lotsely, carelessly, profligately aad corraptly were these plates employed by all concerned, that thasa duplicate piatea pesaed into, the hands of persons in bo wise connected! walk tbe Government, and are now beyond its coa-troL Puch wss tbe natural result oft the irre-spsnsibility of the management of tbe print -irg establishment. No one feature, worse than this, that no person seems itwonjills for what is done. The amount of the taxes of the people of the United btatee is astounaxufrty greater thaa any thing ia tb history of modern nations. Vet the debt gr jvi no. less, but is in fact increasing every month, the report of the Secretary of the Treasury to the contrary notwithstanding.

Tbtse dnpli'-ate coupe aa, notes and currency are redeemed ai the Treasury b-c tuse the Treasurer can't tell tha difference between tbe quadra plicate, triplicates, duplicates and original issues of these testimonials of our degradation, bankruptcy and ruin. The amount of the taxs levied upoa tha people to pay tbe coupons, bonds and notes, issued outside of the Treasury are evea greater than those issued by the order of the department itself to pay the peculations speculations, false and fraudulent accounts and official robberies of iu clerks, waiters and chief of department.

Large amounts of duplicate seven thirty coupons nave already been redeemed by the Treasury, while theU corresponding originals were never issued." To amplify upon the frauds, forgeries and false issin of the Currency Bureau, would require a closely printed volume of small type to serve as aa index of tbe individual cases.

No record has been kept of these "stock packages;" nor has tbe Chief of the Bareaa ever made a return of the number consumed. Oa one occasion a large number of said sheets was extracted from tha cupboard in which tbey ware deposited aad their disappearance never explained.

But it is aot surprising when it is known that tha keys of the numbering di. yison are left, not with its Superintendent, but by order of the Chief of the Carrency Printing Bureau, with one of th watchmen ef the building.

Their snret ardent friends admit that tbe Treasury Department at Washington has tower to print without any restraint whatever. That the paper money is issued without limitation or check; that tbe authors are accountable to nobody, responsible to nobody, and reckless of their obligations. This very condition of things would induce repudiation and hasten financial rebellion in any country. Is there any government that could stand this irresponsible issue of its obligations? There are no facts in the preaent system of America. Government better established than thia, that the people eaa place no reliance upon the Treasury report, which is intended to deceire them, that an army of public cfSvera are engaged in public robbery tbat there i ao reliable record of tbe condition of the pabiic Treasary.
