1 n,-— T« 'mu. — The correspoud-
n French newspaper expresses scrions
doubt as to the feasibility of an early establish
ment of a service of trains by tho now ronto
through the Moat Conis tunnel. The difficulty
ta occasioned by tho defective ventilation of
the tunnel, which, on ihn tfjaJ, cansofl tho
death by snffooation of two engine-drivers,
while the third narrowly escaped tho samo Into.
In view of the fact that engines, whother they
consnmo thfllr own smoke or not, vitiate the
air tbrongh which they pass, it is evident that
it will be necessary to work tho Mont Conis
tunnel with wire ropes nnd stationary onginos,
or adopt some means of artificial ventilation
whereby the produeta of combustion may bo
carried off and fresh air supplied at frequent
intervals.

These figures indicate an increase in *h® c ° l
ton in sight to-night (8th July) of 338 900 bales
compared with the same date of leiu.
The Chronicle estimates the increased con
sumption this year over last as follows: In
England, an average of Ct,88G bales per week,
against 54,000 last year. On the Continent,
excluding Russia and Spain, about 40,000 bales
per week, and 6,000 bales increase. In the
United States, notwithstanding the deficient
supply of water at tho Northern mills, tli^phas
been an average increase of 4,000 bales per
woek during the last six months. This would
aggregate 20,000 bales increased consnmpM''-
per week—equal to a miV.l i bales n the year.

the rise in prices. Bnt the Chronicle thinks

te Wztta A Co., of Liverpool, it was 675,000

Tiie Rk election of Grant.—Should Grant
bo re-elected, it wonld establish a enr ions fact
in American politics, to-wit: that a man can bo
elected President when very few aro pleased
with him outside of his immediate family. Tho
Richmond Dispatch says that stringent meas
ures are soon to bo pushod forward to put tho
South under thorough military surveillance, and
the votes of this section will probably be se
cured for Grant in that way. Wo doubt it; and
wo doubt, at any rate, wbotber a vote will be
made nett to Grant by this system of dragoon
ing. The Horald says that St. Domingo is to
be brongbt on tho carpet again, and be made a
prominent feature in tho Presidential canvas.
Well, let them bring it on.
A Word pjb Judge Kells.—In justice to our
senior, wo repeat that he is in no sense respon
sible for the article headod, “A Radical Judge
Rebuked,” which appeared in these columns on
tho 6th instant. The writer, as stated yester
day, published theaffair which was derived from
sources ho had no right to eall in question, as
an incident which added anothor grain of sand
to the mountain pilo of our Southern wrongs.
In the present instance, he cheerfully gives
place to Mr. Keils' communication without in
tho least endorsing tho same, and to prove that
WO do not belong to ino ivu-aiui., nature willing
to allow even a Radical Judge to blow off steam.
Tub Expectbd Irish Frays. —Tho telegrams
yesterday morning reported groat alarm and ap
prehension among tho citizens of Now York, in
relation to the expected grand fight between tho
Orangemen and tho Hibernians to-day. Su
perintendent Kelso, of the Metropolitan police,
had vory properly ordered that no target pa
rades of either side shonld be permitted. The
target-shooting device was, of coarse, a mere
pretext to exenso a tnrn-ont with arms and am
munition. We trust tho day will wear throngh
without bloodshed.
Personal.—Wo have had the pleasure of
calls within the last day or two from Mossrs. S.
A. Atkinson, of the Athens Banner, Bascom
Myriok, of the Southern Recorder, and S. R.
Weston, of the Dawson Journal—all of whom
we wore ploased to find in good keeping and
apparently on good torms with their patrons.
They all said something about Macon being hot (
bnt they aro such fellows for joking that we
gness they didn’t mean it. If they had said it
abont Atlanta, now,—95 in the shado—that
wonld have been another matter.
The Hon. Asa Packer, of Pennsylvania, in
1866, gave $500,000 to found the Lehigh Uni*
versity of Bethlehem. Ho now proposes to
pnt it nnder charge of the Episcopal ohnrch
and make tuition free. As soon as the trnstees
raise $125,000 he will give $250,000, and when
they raise a second $125,000, he will givfl
$250,000. Until the first snm is raised, he will
contribute $20,000 per annum towards defray
ing incidental expenses. Of such as these are
tho world's trnest and greatest benefactors.
Decline in Foreign Immigration.—Statistics
show a marked decline in foreign immigration
to this country this year, compared with last.
The total arrivals this year at New York is 116,-
211; to same date, last year, 129,885. Since
Jannary 1st 32,946 Germans landed at New
York; showing a decrease of German inimi-
gwatirin oa m iwpflwd with firofc . is moalha last
year of 14,777.
Mrs. Sarah Green sends ns a cariosity in
the way of a beet, which is over three feet in
length—the last two feet being a whip lash con
tinuation of the root. It is strange that this
caudal appendage did not break in the process
of extraction from the soil.
Elder House, Indian Springs.—Attention is
called to the advertisement of this qniet and
popular house at Indian Springs, where com
fortable quarters—a fine table and hospitable
treatment can be had on very moderate terms.
Hallett’s Rock at Hell Gate is to go np in a
few days in one grand explosion of nitro gly
cerine and gunpowder ignited by electricity. If
this end of the world shakos don't say it is an
earthquake.
Mrs. Pettigrn King Bowen says that when she
told her tale of sorrow to the President at LoDg
Branch, he listened with sympathetic tears in
bis eyes, and Mrs. Grant remarked that one of
greatest pleasures of exalted station was the
power to grant such favors.
A Strong Endorsement.—A prominent offi
cial at Washington recently wrote to a friend
in New York, inquiring as to the position,
financially and otherwise, of a certain resident
of that city. He received the following reply:
“lam happy to inform yon that Mr.
stands at the very top of respectability here.
He owns a fast horse, a New York Judge and
intends to steal the first railroad he sees lying
aronnd loose.”
Blodgeit’s K»'.Ji»lH*ier to Seago
Reiterates theciinrge of Attempted
Bribery, and Litres Snngo it JNicU-
DHfflC.
We find Blodgett's rejoinder to Seago’s card—
which which we published Sunday—in the Atlan-
Era of that date. Boiled down it amounts to
this: That oneGeo. W. Evans—for whom Dobody
but Blodgett vouches, by the by—swears he was
in Blodgett’s office on the 6 h or 7th of Jane,
and fonnd Blodgett and Seago in earnest con
versation, and that Seago waa endeavoring to
get B. to transfer his interest in the bid made
for the lease of the State Road, so that they
could swear he (Blodgett) had no interest in the
bid. Blodgett also charges that in 1857 Seago
was charged with selling a lot of bacon by false
weights to one Larkin Davis, and that Davis
madehim (Seago) admitthe fact and “disgorge.’
Blodgett also charges that abont the same time
Seago, as agent for Levering & Son, of Balti
more, shipped wheat to that firm billed at 20
cents a bnshel more than he (S.) paid with his
commissions added, and that Seago was again
compelled to “disgorge.” Blodgett also intro
duces a cei jc ate signed by J. R. & C. H. Wal
la Atlanta, charging Seago and his part
ott th acting in bad faith towards
th s »mh transaction in that same year of
grf 11857. Blodgett concludes as follows:

An anatomical lecture, illustrated by practi
cal experiments at Griffin, Saturday night, re

A white man named Fletcher Medaris, was
fonnd dead in Newnan, last Sunday morning.
It. is supposed he was mnrdered by some ne
groes with whom he had been gambling, and
two of the party are nnder arrest.
A negro woman named Julia Holloway, living
at Atlanta, was fatally burned by the explosion
of a can of non-explosive oil. on Sunday night.
Commend ns to that fluid for never missing fire.
We get the following from the Griffin Star,
of yesterday:
Judge Dismuke, Ordinaay of this county, de
cided an important qnestion last week. A gen
tleman had hired a little negro boy for a year
from his mother, (his father being dead) and a
few days ago he ran away. The gentleman went
to the mother, and sent to her two or three
times to make him return, which she failed or
refnsed to do. The gentleman in qnestion sued
ontawritof habeas corpus, which the Judge,
after hearing argument, sustained, and ordered
the child returned to carry out the contract.

Tlic Medical Convention again
Dr. McDowell.
Wo have received a second voluminous epistle
from Dr. McDowell, couched in such language
that self-rospect precludes its publication.
As a sample of tho whole, however, and to
establish the Doctor’s claim par excellence to
decency and courtesy, wo give him the benefit
of a few extracts:
Yon say von “ are tho champions of no oliqne
or faction.” Yon have, nevertheless, pnt your
selves in the ridiculous attitude of champions,
zealous champions, and apologists of a faction
without strength or sympathy in the Statu or
United States. It is extensively rumored and
generally belioved that you surrendered yonr
columns to the “defeated disorganizes” and
that tho “report” in yesterday’s paper was
dictated or written by some one or more of
them. I beliovo you cannot deny it. The
ear-marks and “pet phrases” are too familiar
to many who havo repeatedly listened to the
tender appeals of these “peace makers” to be
mistaken.
You say: “Atlanta, organized and compact,
withont pausing, we have heard, even to regis
ter at tho hotels, marched to the City Hall to
control matters and go home." Let ns ascer
tain the cause of this haste. The Convention
had been called in tho newapaDers for July 5th.
No hour was named. According to universal
precedent a largo assemblage from distant sec
tions, when no honr had been previously pub
licly named, (I do not except the written slip at
the hotel tho provions night) wonld have con
vened at 12 o’clock, m. Hence abont one-third
of the gentlemen in attendance on the Conven
tion from Middle and Western Georgia, arrived
on tho train of the Macon and Western Railroad
at eleven o’clock, a. m. A large number of
gentlemen on this train had private letters from
Macon and Savannah asking them to come for
(to pnrpns'e of settling a difficulty and making
peace. All the gentlemen against whom com
plaints Viw made wore evjieolod loamvoon thin
train, and this fact was made known to the persons
who called tho body prematurely together. Im
agine their astonishment, then, when, on tho
arrival of the train, they wore informed tho
Convention had already organized, nnd, against
earnest remonstranco, had appointed a com
mittee formed entirely from one party to pre
pare business {make peace!) for tho Conven
tion.
A prominent member of tho minority had
also declared “sub voce, bnt loud enough to be
hoard,” tbnt they “intended” to finish the busi
ness and adjourn before the arrival of the train.
And every truthful person present must admit
that if thoso gentlemen had not hurried to tho
City Hall, this unparalleled indecency wonld
hnvo been perpetrated.
Thus the door to reconciliation was closed
and barred, and nothing, absolutely nothing,
remained to members of the profession who
had como for peace and harmony, bnt to vote
down a series of so-called resolutions, embody
ing a rehash of all the vituperation and bad
temper that had been manifested by both par
ties during a “four years’” warfare, and go
home.
Yon chargo that College with making “jack-
leg doctors,” and the majority in the Conven
tion with sustaining it in this discreditable bus
iness. I deny it and challenge an iota of proof.
Yon aro pleased to speak of my “party.” I am
a member of no party.
A few brief sentences now and we are done
with this ill-tempered missive.
In the first place the editors of this paper
write their own articles, and surrender the
helm to no one.
The report of the Convention and everything
subsequently written on the subject, is from tho
pen of one of their number, who honestly
meant to speak the trnth, and nntil convinced
to the contrary has nothing to retract
Nor has any article met the eye of physician
or citizen before appearing in these columns.
We are accustomed to do onr own thinking and
acting, tho “ear marks” and “pet phrases” and
“tender appeals” of those “peace makers”
allnded toby Dr. McDowell to the contrary not
withstanding.
As to the justice of onr strictures, we can
safely appeal to any candid outsider who is dis-
pannwMpd with the medical ring, to decide. The
balk of tho Doctor’s letter is devoted to charges
of unfairness, “indecency,” etc., on the part of
his opponents, which, as we are not their cham
pions, shall not bo montionod. The minority
is able to tako care of itself. We occupy simply
the position of historians, and defenders of tho
proprieties and courtesies of life. When they
are invaded, whether by Savannah or Atlanta,
by jack-legs or savant, wo shall ever enter a
protest in behalf of the right.

and greed of gain. His motto was, “I know

A Cincinnati heathen wrote this fonching in-
onptiou in tho blank leaf of a Billie in room
73, of tho Hi Kimball Honae: “This room was
occupied May 20; h by a commercial traveler,
who has this much to say abont tho Humbug
Infernal Kat Houso. It is a d—m fraud and
swindle from basement to attic.”
The woather seems to he telling on the folks
down at Savannah. A Custom Houso pap-snek-
er has been fined $50 for indecent exposure of
his person, and two Fioridians, qnartered at
the Marshall Hons% improvised an original
entertainment on EuXdsy, which is thus de
scribed by the News.
Yesterday aftcriufon abont two o’clock, the
family of a gentleman on State street, near
Drayton, were alarmed by repeated reports of
a pistol, and on investigation it was fonnd that
three pistol shots had beeu tired throngh one of
the buck bed-room windows, on the third floor,
the balls going through the partition between
the two apart meats, and lodging in the wall in
the front room. After looking into the matter
the gentlemen m the honse discovered that the
shooting came from the Marshall Hon-e, and a
messenger was sent to the Barracks for a police
man. Before the officer arrived, however, an
other policeman was called upon, and proceeded
to room No. 29, where the offenders were dis
covered,in the persons of two men from Florida.
When the officer entered they were entirely
nnde, and the windows of the room wide open.
A table was spread with edibles, and upon it
lay two pistols. The parties were told to put
on their clothes, and were then taken to the
Barracks. The rooms into which the balls were
fired were occupied by a yonng married couple,
who narrowly escaped being shot. It seems that
a canary which was hanging in its cage in the
window was the object which drew the attention
of these Florida sportsmen.
The Atlanta Snn says the prospect now is to
bnild a road directly throngh from Atlanta to
Savannah, and that a committee of the board
of directors has gone to New York to confirm
“certain financial propositions.”
Among the exports, Saturday, from Savannah
were 128,126 feet of lumber, valued at $2,818.

lands, and 24,000 white oak staves, valued at
$2000, to Barcelona.
