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. Liverpool Colton Market. Our Liverpool report, of Friday noon, makes cotton stroDg at ninepence for middling up lands. Sales of the morning 18,000 bales—and of the week 122,000. Stock 715,000, of which 424,000 were American. Stock afloat for Liver pool 444,000, of which 103,000 were American.

Tho Ordinary of Bibb county having taken the written opinion of Messrs. Whittle <fc Gnstin and Nisbets & Jackson, as to the law governing the situation, orders a special election for County Tax Collector, to take place on Friday, tho 28th instant, and the advertisement will be found in our edition of to-day. All interested 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. MARRIED, On the 5th inst, at tho residence of the bride's father, by the Rev. Dr. Cooper. Mr. K. A. McKinnie, of Leo county, and Mias Louibe Fublow, of Americus. CONSIGNEES M. <fc W. R. R.

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. A. E. ADAMS. B. ST. BAZEMOBE. SHAD BACH WABE.
