SATURDAY MORNING. JULY 8, 1871.
That Meeting.
Wa published by request, yesterday, the ac
tion of the meeting of the Atlanta wing of the
late Medical Convention, denunciatory of this
paper.
Our readers who were present can best judge
of the accuracy of the allegations. We cer
tainly shall not attempt the gag system, which
was so effectually used by these gentlemen, nor
is any “member of the defeated diaorganizera”
responsible for our article, which was designed
as a fitting rebuke to the action of an assem
blage which violated all parliamentary usage,
and every courtesy of debate. With the poet
we can truthfully exclaim,
“Let the galled jade wince,
Our withers are unwrung."
A New Depabtube among the Southebh Rad
icals.—The Norfolk Journal says an organized
movement is going on among the Southern
Radicals, to aecuro the second place on the
Presidential ticket for one of their number, and
he must not be a carpet-bagger, but native and
to tho manner born. They want Longstreet, or
Wickham or John P. Lewis. But the Northern
Radicals elovato their nosos at tho proposition,
and say thoy will never vote for a man who
sympathized with rebels—much loss fought on
their side. In this condition of affairs a glo
rious opportunity is disclosed for illustrating
the rigid devotion of the party to their princi
ples. Let it compromise on “a man and broth
er" for the second place within the gift of the
people—and let it be no half way compromise
upon a gingerbread mulatto, but take a genuine
full breed. There’s plenty of them who will
accept the nomination if tendered with proper
delicaey. Are tho Radicals up to the mark of
their high professions ?
Bust or Bishop Elliott—V/e saw, yester
day, at the book store of J. W. Burke & Co., a
bust, in plaster, of the late Bishop Elliott,
modeled from a photograph by a young lady of
Athens, Miss Mary Franklin. It is a work that
reflects great credit upon the artist, and indi
cates talent that, with proper training, may win
for the possessor enough of fame and fortune
to satisfy even a woman’s ambition. The ex
pression of kindly dignity and fiweot benevolence
that characterized tho face of the Bishop has
been admirably reproduced, while every foatnre
and the general tout ensemble are so vividly true
to nature as to be recognized at the most
cursory glance. Wo presume—though wo are
not authorized to say so—that it is the purpose
of the artist to execute copies of this work for
all who may desire to have them. The price of
tho bust is $25.
Chuboh Dedication.—A fow days smeo the
Presbyterians of Eufaula solemnly dedicated
their now and beautiful houso cf worship.
Tho pastor, Rev. J. J. Robinson, D. D.
preached tho dedication sermon, and Rev. J. S.
Cosby, of Cnthbort, assisting, tho services of
tho sanctuary wore protracted from Thursday
until tho dose of tho week.
Six hundred dollars wero contributed for the
extinction of tho church debt, and the exercises
wero all of a deeply interesting character. This
handsome Gothic structure, fashioned after the
style of tho Elizabethan age, cost over $25,000,
and is an ornament to the city of Eufaula.
Dr. Robinson is a learned and eloquent man,
and wo trust long years of usefulness await him
in tho field of his choice.
The roportod pardon of Bowen stirred up tho
wrath of some of the New York Radical papers.
Tho Tribune calls it “an unpleasant rumor,’
and says that Bowen had been fairly convicted
of an aggravated offenco, in which forgery had
been rosorted to, to facilitate tho crime. The
Sun says ho escaped conviction for his first of
fenco by bribing a negro juror, and ho obtained
a forged decree of divorce from the county
clerk’s office in New York, for which he admit
ted to District Attomoy Fisher, of Washington,
that $2,500 had been paid. Wo shall conclude
that Bowen’s pardon has been lost or mislaid
in some way, if something is not hoard of it
to-day.
Discussing Chase and Hancock as Democratio
candidates for President and Vice President,
the Horald says: “In tho very sound of this
ticket of Chase and Hancock there is strength.
Let the Democracy adopt it, and they will have
no defensive battle to fight in 1872 on dead
issoes; but they will be free to take the often,
sivo and to carry the war into the enemy’s camp.
Chase or Hancock will hardly do, but Chase
and Hancock is a splendid ticket, even for the
fight against General Grant.”
Does tho Herald make any charge for that
counsel ?
Steamship Building in Vibginia.—The Rich
mond Enquirer says the Virginia Steamship and
Packet Company are building an iron steamship
of 1250 tons burthen, at Rooketts, near that
city, and it will be launched in November. She
will bo 215 feet long, 33 wide and 22 feet deep.
Her engines will be constructed at the Tredegar
Iron Works, and will jiave 800 horse power.
She is to run in the New York and Richmond
trade. This look3 like enterprise.
To Whom It May Conoebn.—The writer of
tho communication for the Teleobaph and Mes-
sendee, of Friday, over the signature of “L’ln-
connue,” is requested, as a personal favor to
the editors, and ns an act of j astiee to the party
whom ho assailed, to send bis name to this of
fice. If he recognizes the obligations of force
in such cases he will not hesitate to comply with
this request at once.
Richmond Mobtuaby Statistics.—A Rich
mond correspondent of the World writes that
the city contains a population of 51,083, of
whom 27,938 are whites and 23,938 are black.
The deaths reported in the past five months are
610, of whom 239 are whites and 371 blacks.
Of these deaths thero were—under the age of
five years, 93 white and 193 blacks. From five
to twenty—16 whites and 37 blacks. From
twenty to forty—36 whites and 48 blacks.
Sad.—Pie. says the “Republican party”
Louisiana is inevitably coming to the point
rupture. This will be sad news for the snakes,
The Dunnites and the Warmouths are each mass,
ing their forces and arming for the fray. Soon
the wool will fly, and the scent of battle will be
smelt afar off. That is bad—especially in dog
days. *
Dby Times in Canada.—Canada is again af
flicted with drontb. On the 3d inst. great fires
were reported to be raging in the woods around
Port Elgin and Ottawa. The flames had been
sweeping an area of thirty miles around Port
Elgin for four days. A great many houses and
a large amount of crops had been destroyed.
Neobo Testtmosy.—In the Ku-klux trial go
ing on at Oxford, Miss., testimony was closed
on Monday last, and it was thonglit two days
would be consumed in argument. The testi.
mony of the negro witnesses is simply a mass
of self-contradiction.
Too Mach Protection.
The sh«id interest—the largest single manu-
factnring interest in the United States—are
uniting in a forinal protest against the existing
tariff. It protects their shoes against foreign
competition, but then it also protects every ar
ticle which enters into the composition of the
shoeB, and the result of the whole is to make
the productive cost of shoes so great that they
have lost all the benefit of foreign markets, not
withstanding the advantages of machinery used
in the shoe manufacture, which other countries
have scarcely yet introduced.
Now, if the shoemakers could be protected,
and the host of manufacturers who furnish the
material for the shoes could be forced to go
without protection, then the shoemaker could
do very well; but the advantages of a system
which compels him to pay protective bounties
as well as entitles him to receive them are not
so obvious. Hence be demurs, and his demur
er is a striking illustration of the injustice of
the system. Protection is of no advantage to
people compelled to suffer as well as to enjoy it.
What is it, then, to people who pay the boun
ties and yet receive none ? What is it to that
great class—more nnmerons than all others—tho
farmers—who got none of the bounties and yet
pay an average advanced cost of about CO per
cent, on all that they buy, simply that the pro
tected classes may have their bounty ? H shoe
makers protest because they have to pay pro
tective bounties with one hand while they re
ceive them with the other, what should tho
farmer do with whom all is paying and no re
ceiving.
Alumni Representation.
The spirit of Alnmni representation in the
colleges of the conntry seems to be contagious,
so rapidly is it spreading. Yale and Harvard
lead the way,and now R icbester University fol
lows suit, having just elected, by the Alnmni
vote, two members of the Board of Trustees
from graduates of the class of 1859 and 18G0.
That staid old institution, Brown University, at
Providence, Rhode Island, is also feeling a
quickening influence hmong her dry bones, as
is evidenced by the following extract from a
Providence letter in the Tribune, of Thursday:
The annual meeting of the Alnmni was large
ly attended at Manning Hall this afternoon.
The Hon. Henry Cbapin ol Worcester, was
chosen Chairman, and Alexander Farnnm, Sec
retary. Prof. Greono read a communication
from President Caswell, in which the following
items wore suggested to the consideration of
the Alnmni:
First, the appointment of committees to be
present at the term examinations, second, the
establishment of graduate and post-graduate
scholarships; third, the establishment and en
dowment of preparatory schools; fourth, fur
nishing speoimens for the musenm of natural
history; fifth, contributions to the fund of the
Soeiety.
On motion, the suggestions were received.
The Hon. H. W. Bird said he did not propose
to bo amused with such dilatory propositions as
those submitted; ho was convinced that the
Alnmni would give no more money or influence
till they could have some voice in the govern
ment of the college, not merely by election, but
by actual voice and vote; Brown University is
not owned by tho dead men who made the char
ter, but by the living men of the Alnmni; they
might appoint committees to visit the examin
ations, and to sit like flower pots around the
room, but they would have no power.
The Rev. Dr. James P. Boyce was opposed to
any change from the conservatism of tlie past;
the present corporation had managed the Col
lege well, and at present thero was no need of
a reform. The Hon. Abraham Payne did not
believe in driving any change upon the corpor
ation, but wo ild rather wait till it could be
done with their hearty consent and co-oper
ation. Mr. Bird introduced a resolution to ap
point a committee to confer with the corpor
ation in regard to securing to the Alumni a
voice in the government of the College, and to
report at the next annnal meeting. After dis
cussion the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Bird and his friends will carry their
point too, and put tho University in the track
marked ont by Yolo and Harvard—of that we
have no manner of doubt. This is true pro
gress, and mast work ont its legitimate rosnlts
everywhere, at tho Sonth 03 well as at the
North.
Alumni Meeting.—We have the proceedings
of this meeting yesterday on file, and will pub
lish them to-morrow. They are unavoidably
crowded ont of this issue.
Two Cases.
The late Commodore Tatnall’s youngest son
remained loyal to the flag of the country,
although his three brothers and two brothers-
in law, as W6ll as his father, traitorously went
over to the rebels. As Paymaster in tho navy
be was stationed in Savannah in 1865, and the
bitterness felt toward him for his maintenance
of the Union, was such that hosts of his old
friends in his native city refused to recognize
him.—N. T. Times.
That reminds the Mobile Register of another
case, which happened a good many years ago
Jndas Iscariot, Esq., was a citizen of Judea, one
of the provinces of what was at that time “the
best government in the world.” He was a pay
master, too, and carried tho bag. Paymaster
Iscariot was “loyal” at the time when eleven
of his most intimate friends and associates
“ went over ” to a cause that was considered and
officially pronounced seditious and “traitor
ous.” Mr. Iscariot was suitably rewarded, but
such was the “ bitterness felt toward him*.’
that even some of the chief men among the
supporters of the government “ refused to re'
cognize him ” or to have anything to do with
him, and the poor fellow actually went and
hanged himself in despair. In fact, such is the
prejudice existing against certain species of
loyalty’* that few people have even yet
ventured to vindicate the reputation of Mr.
Iscariot. We commend the congenial task to
the attention of the Times.

will therefore take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly.
THE GEORGIA PRKISS.
Sunday School Tkzatbioals.—The Tribune
tells the following story about the performances
at a mass celebration of some Presbyterian
Sunday Schools in Philadelphia, a few nights
ago. It was an odd affair, certainly:
Tho feature of the evening was a dramatic
representation. The Fonr Seasons, in appro
priate costume, appeared under an arch in
scribed with the name of “ Jeans” in blazing
gas-jets: snow fell, grass grew, flowers, com,
grapes, and grain sprung up. forming a fore
ground behind which appeared Faith and Hope
who in exquisite fancy dresses, recited their
parts: a little girl then appeared, who with
folded hands declaimed a praj er. The lights of
the church were then turned down, a curtain
rose revealing en tableau a mother and children
also kneeling in prayer. The sixteen Seasons
and Virtues assumed the attitude of worship,
and the Holy Ghost, represented by a white
dovo, fluttered overhead. Red and blue fires
were then lighted, and Faith, Hope, kneeling
supplicants, and the Holy Spirit disappeared in
a blaze of glory.
There is a lady in Columbus who attends
church regularly, but who has not been in a
dry goods store in four and a half years. Where
Baronm?
Columbus had the dullest Fourth since the
war. A bunch of fire crackers set off by a ne
gro boy who spent his last sbinplaster therefor,
was the only demonstration.
The stockholders of the Mobile and Girard
Railroad met at Columbns, on Wednesday, and
elected the following offioers: President—W.
M. Wadley; Directors—B. L. Mott, John Pea
body, John King, G. De Liunay, L. T. Down
ing and U. L Jones. The following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, On the first of the ensuing month
the bouds of this Company, to the amount of
fifty thousand dollars, will mature; and in ad
dition, interest on the bonds of the Company
will also then fall due to the amount of mme
thirty thousand dollars; and whereas, this Com
pany is at present without the means to meet
said liabilities; and whereas, this Board deems
it important to make provision for the payment
thereof, so as to save, if possible, the credit of
this Company and protect it from loss, should
the oommittee which has been raised by a meet
ing of the stockholders fail otherwise to devise
means to secure the same object,
Therefore, be it resolved. That this Board do
hereby request the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company to advance the means neoessaiy
to take up and hold said bonds and the coupons
for said interest, as the same shall be presented
for payment, so as to afford to this Company
such reasonable time (say not exceediog six
months) in which to effect snch arrangements
as it may be able to do to rescue itself from its
present embarrassments.
And whereas, in the present crisis of the Mo
bile and Girard Railroad Company, it is evident
that the road must be sold or leased upon terms
that will enable the Company to meet its liabil
ities; and whereas, in the opinion of this Board,
the road is worth at at least $1,250,000; There
fore, be it resolved, That in the event the com
mittee of stockholders fail to make satisfactory
arrangements either for the sale or lease of the
road by the regular meeting of stockholders,
on tho 5th of Jnly next, then the said meeting
ought in the opinion of this Board, to authorize
the Board of Directors to sell or lease the road
upon a basis of not less thantwelve hundred and
fifty thousand dollars as its value.
Resolved, That the authority suggested in the
above resolutions be given to the Board of Di
rectors with fall power to act.
Dr. W. A. Carswell is canvassing Floyd coun
ty to make up a stock-raising company with a
capital of $50,000, and shows his faith by his
works—taking $8,000 worth of stock himself.
A colored Roman, of the female persuasion,
has been called before a J. F. to explain what
she meant by threatening to whip another no
ble lady “from h—1 to breakfast.”
Floyd county has held a flush hand in the
game called matrimony, the past six months,
105 marriage, licenses having been issued. The
majority were to negroes, many of whom com
plain of “cheatin' ’ronnd de board,” and are
clamoring for a new deal.
Mr. Thomas Shropshire died near Rome, last
Son day.
The proposed establishment of a wholesale dry
goods house in Rome is the latest titillation to
local pride, up there.
We failed to receive the Savannah Republican
and Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thurs
day. Other papers from those cities came
through on time.
The Columbus Sun, of Thursday, copies,
without credit, the letter addressed to the
Alumni by Chancellor Lipscomb, through the
columns of the Telegbaph and Messengeb.
We’ve got the dead wood on Red Head. He
“developed” our synopsis of the report of the
President of the Augusta Factory, last Thurs
day, without the ghost of a blush—on his face
at any rate. If he don’t own up, we’ll tell how
the wood-peckers served him the last time he
went hunting in Fntnam county.
James Harris, negro, fell off the wharf at Sa
vannah, on Wednesday, and was drowned.
Two Fourth of July blow nps are reported
among the Savannah juveniles.
Jim Habersham, a negro constable of Savan
nah, is in trouble on account of loving six wo
men more than the law allows.'
James Degnan, a native of Ireland, died vory
suddenly of apoplexy, at Savannah, Wednesday
morning.
The Savannah City Council propose some
changes in the organization of the Fire Depart
ment of that city—among others, to reduce the
salaries of the engineers, purchase horses for
the steamers, extend the fire alarms and assume
all expenses for engines.
The Directors of the Georgia Western Rail
way met at Atlanta on Thursday, President Wal
lace in the chair. John H. James was chosen
Vice-President and W. P. Orme Secretary and
Treasurer. Resolutions were passed appointing
a committee of three to solicit subscriptions,
requesting the people along the line of the road
to hold meetings and raise money, fixing the
gauge of the road at five feet.
In the Constitution’s report of Supreme Court
proceedings on Wednesday we find the follow
ing :
No. 17, Maoon Circuit. The Central Railroad
and Banking Company vs. the Mayor and Coun
cil of Macon, et al., Injunction from Bibb, was
set for hearing on the 20th instant unless the
court then be in the midst of a Circnit. If so,
then at the heel of the Circuit on hand on that
day.
A man np at Griffin^is organizing a brigade of
loafers to go into the country and hoe cotton.
He had enrolled 16 at last accounts and expects
to make np the quota sometime in 1875.
Griffin almost had spasms the other day over
the novel sight of a wagon load of fodder for
sale on the streets.
The “Plantation Publishing Company” has
jost been organized at Atlanta, with Gen. J.
B. Gordon, Rev. C. W. Howard, and Messrs,
W. C. Morris, C. R. Hanleiter, and B. O. Yan
cey as stockholders. The latter is President,
and Mr. Hanleiter, manager of the mechanical
dep»rtuient. The Intelligencer office will be
united with the “Plantation,” but the Intelli
genoer newspaper is still for sale.
We clip the following items from the Dalton
Citizen, of yesterday:
Mubdeb and Retbibution.—We heard it
stated that a terrible murder bad been commit,
ted at some point on tbe Selma, Rome and Dal
ton Railroad. It seems that a man was attacked
by a party of negroes and robbed of about $7,
000. On the discovery of the deed, suspicion
rested on twelve negroes, nine of whom were
caught, accused and hung, having confessed to
a knowledge and participation in the crime.
Now, this is about bb we heard it. We plaoe no
confidence in the story, but give it as a rumor.
Bitten by a Dog.—We regret to learn that
little daughter of Mr. Bachman, living near
Tilton, was terribly bitten by a dog belonging
t o a neighbor. Serious fears are entertained
that the little girl will not survive the fright
and injuries received.
Cattle Dying.—The cattle hereabouts are
dying very fast with the murrain, and the dis
ease is reported to be on the increase. Several
have died in town within the past week. In
the upper part of the county the disease is
said to prevail to an alarming extent, many
farmers having lost all of their beat milch cows.
Cotton Cbop in the Southwest.—The last
New Orleans Picayune has the subjoined in its
commercial and financial review:
The tail end of the last orop will doubtless be
worked off about on the basis of present figures;
but ere tbe next crop begins to oome in lively
the true condition of crop affairs must become
known abroad, and exert a powerful influence
m the markets. The season has now sufficiently
advanced to form an estimate of the probable
yield of cotton, with an average season hence
forth ; and with tbe information at hand, we
do not see how anything like the yield of last
year to tbe acre can be obtained.
The whole crop is fully three weeks back
ward. At least ten per cent, of the land planted
has been drowned out, and so overcome with
grass and weeds that it will have to be aban
doned, or, if cultivated, will yield nothing.
Where the rains have ceased the bottom lands
have been so baked by the son that the hoe
bounds from it as from rock. The general rule
is that the bottom land crops are failures. This
is a fixed fact now. The hill lands may do
pretty well, but there is not one planter in a
dozen who expects anything above a half orop
on bottom lands, and very many have abandoned
them entirely. When it is remembered that
these bottom lands are the best we have, some
idea of the injury may be formed.
The same paper, in a letter from Jefferson,
Texas, says:
The crops look tolerable. A larger area of
com and other grain has been planted than last
year, and less cotton, and it is small for the
season. We arc in need of rain now, and ten
days of dronth will blast the crop prospect.

Cbop Advices.—The Memphis Avalanche of
the 3rd says:
Our crop advices are generally satisfactory as
far as what is known as the Memphis district
proper is concerned, but from remote points
there is much oomplaint of the condition of the
growing cotton. In the prairie country of Mis
sissippi, aloDg the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
the prospect favors less than half a yield in
most cases, and on the whole is gloomy. Too
much rain, and grass as a consequence, are the
causes. In North Mississippi, West Tennessee
and Arkansas, the prospect is very good for the
acreage, and points to a large inorease in the
relative receipts at Memphis the coming season.
An Arkansas dressmaker made a bridal trous
seau tbe other day, which contained 300 yards of
calico.

S ATISFACTORY reasons to the Managers of the
Real Estate Distribution ot Memphis cause
them to ask of the public tho indulgence of a Short
Postponement. Our scheme is one of magnitude.
To successfully get through with it has required
the establishment of agencies throughout the
United States. This has been done; but to ac
complish it, more time has been necessaty than at
first supposed. We are now in working order from
New York to San Francisco. The drawing will come
off on AUGUST 31st, without fail. By that date,
we will have realized onr most sanguine expecta
tions, and will render the publio that satisfaction
we have always designtd to give. Our offices
everywhere will continue open until then.
