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. 1.893.SS9 1,559.890 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. allowiu* —■ - iiinumption is not chocked by the rise in prices. Bnt the Chronicle thinks a vary rxrious qu< tion wnotlier this increased consumption will be maintained with ootton rvnflixmco. Of tho present stock of cotton i.'.' . ., (M j __ ,.r A ■ ootton IS C5 per oent- agsiset 02.7ilast year. The con tracts for future Relive, y made in New York last week were for 46,750 bales at 19e for No vember and December. In regard to tho de crease of the excess in visiblo supply, according te Wztta A Co., of Liverpool, it was 675,000 LnUon on tho i ■ th April lost* and it is now, say 339,000—showing a loss of 806,000 bales in twelve wooks—which would indicato an nverago increase in consumption of twt a*y eight thou sand bales a week. 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: I v the way, will yon tall the public in yonr next eomionuicctiou who belong to “Our Com pany?” Iu your letter you now call it “My I Company.” fla' e yon pm. based all the other ‘‘shares e . e for less than ten dollars each?

The Rev. C. W. Thomas, late of St. Phillip’s Church, Atlanta, is recubans sub tegminepatulae fagi on his farm, near Griffin. An anatomical lecture, illustrated by practi cal experiments at Griffin, Saturday night, re sulted in Mr. Cord’s being badly sliced with a knife, by Mr. Parish. 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.

Borne folks down here think it’s and 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. Demosthenian Society Final Celebration.— We thank the Committee of Invitation for an invitation to attend the exercises of this occa sion at Athens on Monday night, the 31 st in stant, at eight o’clock. E. G. Simmons, of Macon, is the orator; John L. Hardeman, of Macon, Society Medalist; C. E. Harman, of Atlantal Junior Medalist; F. P. Gray, of Adairsville, Sophomore Medalist; and J. A. Barclay, of Macon, Presenter. Aro tho Macon boys going to carry off all the honors, np there ? A roving special of the New York Tribune, who is traveling by buggy in the mountain re gions of South Carolina, complains that “there is such a disposition in Sonth Carolina to tako it for granted that all rognes and suspicious characters beloDg to the Republican party. The more he travels tho more of this disposi tion he will see. Not so Bad as Reported.—The railway ac- cident on the New York and Newark Road was not so bad as reported. Some two or three were killed and some ten seriously injured. men, and went into this thing in good faith, to I relieve them of yonr corrupting presence. I am sure we will all regard it a happy riddanco. f-Uiakfipeare, who has the reputation of being tho best dellnealorof Roman obaraoter, has giv en ns in one of his inimitable tragedies an ’ex- act prototypo of yourself. The character re ferred to, is noted for his hypocrisy, deception and greed of gain. His motto was, “I know my price,” and his advice to his accomplice in crime was, “put money in thy purse,” “make all the money thou canst,” “therefore make money”—he cared not how, so he made money. This greedy, false character iB called by Othello “honest Iago 1” In view of the similarity yon bear to yonr prototype, j propose to give you a name that will suit you so well that it will slick to you during tho remainder of your life. I therefore dub you honest Se-ago. Respectfully, Foster Blodgett. THE LKUitta i PRESS. For the lack of better material for this col umn, at present writing—11 a. m., July 11th— we are compelled to commence its preparation with some of Red Head's lays. Poor fellow 1 the calorio from bis hair is evidently striking in, and soon Dr. Green (of Milledgeville) will be called upon to diagnose another case. How sad! Here are the lays: A night-blooming cerens unfolded itself in Macon the other night to the delightsome tink- liDgs of a seven-octave mnsic-box. The scene was very gay. It is said that Shropshire, of the Macon Tel egraph, plays tho fiercest and most unrelenting game of seven-np known to history. The hands he holds are simply fearfnl. Rough Rice’s Ready Reporter has Resumed publication. Rice is a Red-hot old Rooster. This weather is fetching tho grease from the Middle Georgia poets. One of them has come to this: My love is a sweet little lassie, With eyes so bright and so bins Withclustering curls that haunt me, Like a dissolving sunset at sea; Ber voice is as sweet as a stringed harp. S<spAJauq aptanjusi calo. agate's beauty Which is fairer than a Circassian vale. 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. 77, and 20 bushels^tSI com to the Canary Is lands, and 24,000 white oak staves, valued at $2000, to Barcelona. Mr. Stephens evidently intends to write the Atlanta Snn np or down, as the case may be, Tn ita issna of yesterday, there are five mortal columns of editorial. Think of that—and in July, too. The thermometer marked 95 in the shade at Atlanta, on Monday. That's a nice, healthy temperature for “summer resort,” eh? Hon. B. H. Hill will soon remove to Atlanta. He will board at the Kimball Honse, and also have a law office therein. We find the following items in the Atlanta Constitution, of yesterday: The Street Railroad.—Some twenty-five hands were at work on Whitehall street yester. and stringers for the Street Road. The initial Fox’s. To-morrow some of the rails will be laid. The work is progressing rapidly the supervision of R. Peters, Jr. lanta, ordered from one of onr merchants one dozen fashionable hats.

Attempt at Suicide.—A printei’s “cub. Sunday by taking a heavy dose of landannm. The nse of a stoniRch pump saved him from a “sleep that knows no waking.” No cause as signed for the rash act. Bain.—Atlanta was refreshed yesterday by a shower of rain. We learn from passengers on the Georgia Railroad that the rain extended some distance below here. The rain was needed.
