AUGUST 1, 1871. Statemtst of the thermometer at J. H. Zei- lin <£ Co.’s drug store, July 31 : 8 o’clock 82 12 “ 3 “ 93 C “ 90 tusoxrrzn: 8 o’clock. 29.45 2 “ 29.42 6 *• „...' Z'.".h'.22 The Bibb County School Board meets in the Council Chamber this morning at 10 o’clock, precisely. Tire new apartments being bnilt at the City Hall for Defiance Fire Company, No. 5, are nearly finished, and the company will occnpy them some day during the next week. The Macon Silver Comet Band have received their new instruments, and they are exceeding ly beautifnl. They are a present from Mayor W. A. Huff. ______ The city authorities are now putting stone bridges, or rather slabs, over the gutters at the principal crossings on cherry street. The work is heartily approved of by all citizens who ap preciate a good thing. Mb. Davis Goodlok, a horse doctor and tamer by profession, and a Tennesseean, died near this city on Saturday last, of hemorrhage of tho lungs. Poisoxnto Doos.—No less than five excellent watch dogs died yesterday from the unmistaka ble effects of poison. They were all noted for their sevority upon intruders on their premises after night No doubt they were the victims of some thief whom they had frustrated in a design npon tho houses and thoir inmates over whom they stood guard. We hope thoir mur derer will be caught and executed without tho benefit of clergy. The Dbooth.—At the time we write no rain has fallen in just two weeks. Tho dust in the streets is about a foot deep and about twenty high, atmospberio measurement. In the high lands vegetation is shriveled, parched, dry, lifeless. As it is about time for our gardens to “play out” wore are not mnch put out by/heir disappearance. The Washington war office observations promised ns rain two or three times last week, and this is to notify it that the Clerk of tho Weather let their notes go to protest. Firemen and Jury Doty.—We understand that an energetic correspondence is going on between the different organized fire companies of the State, with tho view of concerted resis tance to the late decision of Judge Loch rune. That decision it will be remembered, plumped them all into the jury box. But we havo read at least one charter of a company in this city, which plainly tells the members they are ex cused from sitting dumb witnesses, and “of sole judges, not only of the law, bnt of the evi dence, and to be borod by prosy speeches of the gentlemen of the bar. Meetings have been held here and elsewhere by tho firemen, result ing in a determination to defeat the mandate of the Chief Justice, if it can bo dono. Wo would suggost that tbe matter bo laid before the next Legislature, and by it definitely settled. The Brunswick Money Again.—It should not bo inferred from a paragraph which ap peared in this paper on Sunday last, that all of our merchants are refusing tho Brunswick money. On the contrary nearly all of oar re tailers continue to take it in trade, but nono of them “hanker” aft6r it. It is the heavy, whole sale dealers, who have to pay large freight bills, who refuse it, and particularly since the money has been rejected at tho Macon and Western and Central Railroad freight depots. Mr. Hazle- hurst will be home to-day or to-morrow, and we shall then hear something definite from him on the subject. It is to the interest of our peo ple to foster and sustain tho Macon and Bruns wick Road, and patronize it to tbe extent of their power as a competing line with tbe mighty Central Railroad, and as a sort of a bal ance wheel to make that big thing run in order, and we think they will do so; but, on the other hand, onr merchants and business men will not involve themselves in pecuniary embarrass ment to sustain the credit of any railroad be yond a reasonable extent. They have repeat edly presented the bills of the BrnnBwick Rail road Company for redemption, and while tho company redeem all that it is able to do, still it falls short of tbe demands of tho business community, and hence we say, as a friend of the road, desirous of its prosperity, that some sort of an arrangement should be made, if pos sible, whereby its bills, which aio losing confi dence, may be promptly or speedily withdrawn. Until we hear from Mr. Hazlehnrst, we doubt not the bills of his road will be received by many of our tradesmen as heretofore, and they ought to be.

Grant at Lono Branch.—It has long been a wonder that our illustrious President should spend so much time at this watering place. Some persons assert that most excellent cigars can be bought there. This cannot make any difference to General Grant, as be always gets a thiough cheek from Washington on a trunk full of mild Havanas. Isn’t it tho water ? No! most emphatically no; ’tis not the water. Can it be to see the pretty girls? Impossible! He would take a through ticket for Middle Georgia were that the case. Truman & Green have just discovered tho reason. The General always slops at the same hotel, noted for its elegant cuisine. He cannot find such splendid chops and steaks in Washington. The enterprising proprietor of the Long Branch Hotel has been using the Charter Oak Cook Stoves ever since the house was opened, and the superior manner in which the rations leave the kitchen is the reason of the President’s freqnent and pro tracted visits. Ye boarding house keeper?, think of this! _ Mo’Clean’s Cordial and Blood Purifier is the best tonic and blood alterative in the world. jnne4-Cm. Don’t Forget these Two Facts ! ! That Wing A Solomon are the agents of the Grover A Baker Sewing Machines and of the L. A M. i Spectacles—the best in use. No Fight.—On Sunday night last we received a challenge from John Black, of the Eufaula News, through his friend Cob Ben E. Mitchell, to appear at the Brown House and explain away certain paragraphs which have appeared reoenltv in this print, reflecting upon his standing and veracity as a member of the craft, or fight out of it. We girded on our armor and went down, full of fight; but just as might have been ex pected, when we met, the courage of both, like that of Bob Acre’s, oozed out of every pore of the akin, for it was very warm, and we fell into each others arms as helplessly and tenderly as a pair of infants. He demanded nothing of us we did not cheerfully grant, and we stated noth ing that he did not readily accede to, and the seconds becoming disgusted at the slim pros pects of getting up a fight, dismissed the whole subject, and we all went roaming “by moon light alone.” Yesterday morning an elegant turnout was kindly and courteously furnished the party by Messrs. Holmes A Clay, from their stables op posite the Passenger Depot, and a visit was made to the Central City Park. As many other gentlemen from abroad have done, who have visited the Park recently, onr friends were de lighted with it as a site for holding a large Fair, and for a congregation of the masses of the peo ple, and say they will make a noise in the papers about it when they get home. They were also pleased with our new Court-house, and aston ished at the numerous fine buildings being erected on all sides, and at tho advance Macon has made within the last twelve months in sub stantial progress and improvement. They found bnt one thing in the city which they, or rather our friond Mitchell, didn’t like. He had gone over to the general passenger de pot early in the morning to see a fair friend off, and while there, he thought ho would set his watch by railroad time, so as to be certain that the train would not leave him on which he in tended to go. So he set his watch by tho old dock in tho depot, a thing that has not made a “tick” in the last twelve years. It “floored” him, bat made somo first rate fun for his friends. By the way, what is that old clock kept in the depot for? It has deceived thousands of per sons. Take it down or make it keep correct time. It’s an old humbug and cheat. Onr friends were just over from tho Chalybe ate Springs, where, they say, they left a compa ny of about two hundred ladie3 and gentlemen, who are having a most pleasant and lively time. They left for the Bluff City last night.

New York, July 31.—Thousands of people are congregated around the Bellevue Hospital this morning, eager to hear something from friends supposed to be killed or injured by yes terday's explosion; and a large force of tha police aro engaged in preserving order, amid the general rnsh and excitement of the occasion. Of tho forty dead bodies brought to Bellevue Hospital yesterday, twenty have already been removed by friends for interment. Nine of tbe bodies, still at the hospital, hava been recog nized and will be removed to-day. IntheMorgue are eleven victims of the explosion yet unre cognized. On one slab are the bodies of a woman and two children. On another slab are those of a woman and a child; and on another that of a woman and five men. Most of tbe bodies present a frightful appearance; for, in addition to the fact that they are swolen and thoir features distorted by water, they have, in most cases, been terribly scalded. Since early this morning a regular stream of people have been passing in solemn file in aud cut of the Morgue, either from curiosity to witness the awful spectacle of the unrecognized dead lying there, or with painful interest trying to discover, and yet fearfnl of recognizing among the yet unknown victims tho features of a relative or friond. There are about sixty injured victims of tho explosion in tho wards at Bellevue Ho3pi tal. Surgeons state that nt least half of them are beyond recovery. About 9 o’clock this morning the body of Matilda Nilson, aged seven years, killed by the explosion, was found in the water at the slip of Staton Island Ferry. Washington, Jnly 31.—The government buys $5,000,000 bonds and sells $7,000,000 of gold in August. The latest from the steamboat disaster reports 50 killed and 120 wonnded. H. W. Wilson, merchant of Louisville, Ky., is seriously scalded- Col. Mucbi will die. New York, July 31.—Charles Fechter pro poses to lease the Fourteenth Street Theater. Paris, Jnly 31.—The fact that but few ballots were cast at tho municipal elections, and that tho great mass of voters abstained from tbe ex ercise of the franchise, is generally attributed to tho continuance of tho state of siege of Paris, which exercises a baneful influence on all classes of society. The immense porcelain fac tory at Sevres, work in which has been ontirely suspended sinco tho commencement of the siege of Paris by the Germans, is to be at once re established. London, Jnly 31.—The chief theme of con versation in all circles to-day, as well as edito rials in journals, is the expected introduction in tho House of Commons to-night of a propo sition to censure the Government for abolishing tho system of purchase of army commissions by royal warrant. London, July 31.—The meeting at Hyde Park to agitate against the allowance for Prince Ar thur, was a feeble affair. Another meeting has been called, which tho government has prohib ited. NIGHT DISPATCHES. London, July 31.—Dispatches from Dublin report great enthusiasm manifested over the expected visit of the Prince of Wales. The Prince is already en route, accompanied by Prince Arthur, Dnke of Cambridge, Marquis of Lome, and a number of other members of nobility and officers. Rev. Henry Longuevillo Mansell, dean of St. Paul’s Church, is dead; aged 51 years. Thirty of the New Castle strikers have gone to the United State?. In the House of Lords to-day, Earl Granville, in moving for a favorable answer to the Royal message on behalf of Prince Arthur, urged that the demand merely fulfilled a contract made at the beginning of the reign of the Queen. He spoke in warm eulogy of the Prince whose visit to Canada had secured the affection of the col onists. The Duke of Richmond heartily sec onded the motion, which was carried without division. The Duke of Richmond then moved a vote of censure of the Qaeen’s message as an. worthy of ministerial resort. He denounced in strong language the speeches made at the ban quet at tho Mansion House on Saturday, in re lation to the treaty of Washington, and claimed that the Royal prerogative was mnch strained in ratification of that instrnment, without the assent of Parliament. 5 Earl Granville spoke in defence of tho message as responding 6imply to tho previous action of the House of Commons. In the House of Commons Gladstone stated that unless the bill relative te elections was passed by Tuesday, an October session of Par liament was imminent.- Peter Alfred Taylor, member of Leicester, denounced tho making of appropriations for Prince Arthur, who, he said, had better serve the country than be its pen sioner. The House of Commons to-night passed the bill granting an allowance of 15,000 pounds per annum to Prince Arthur by a vote of 276 to 11. Washington, July 31.—The Ku-klnx Commit tee has adjourned to the 20th of September, leaving the snb-Committee, Poole, Blair and Buekley, to examine witnesses. Boutwell has ordered an investigation into the Westfield explosion. Customs for the week $4,000,000. New York, July 31.—The ship Artartio brought one hundred bales of Mobile cotton for Liverpool. Thirty-five bales came last week from Sherman, Texas, via Missouri, Kan sas and other railroads. Wilmington, Jnly 31.—John F. Pickett, the New York broker, now in jail here will be brought before Judge Rodman on a writ of habeas corpus next Thursday. Memphis, July 31.—R. B. McGee, a promi nent citizen of Trenton, Tenn., and prior to the war President of the branch State Bank at that place, was arrested here charged with pass ing counterfeit money. On searching his bag gage $1,200 of counterfeit United States notes were found. Owing to the high sooial position enjoyed by McGee, his arrest has caused con siderable sensation. Capt. David H. Todd, formerly of Lexington, Ky., and a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, died at Hnntsville, of consumption, to-day. Savannah. July31.—Arrived: steamersRapi- dan, New York; America, Baltimore; bark Torrybum, Havana. Cleard: schooners W. K. Beebe, Baltimore; Frank Eocas, Boston. Charleston, July 31.—Arrived : steamer Empire, Philadelphia. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. Paris, July 31.—The aceeptanoo of the resignation of Jules Favre, as Minister of For eign Affrirs, is confirmed. President Thiers is consulting with General Cissy with a view to increasing the army. The number of Communists awaiting trial is 32.000. In order to render possible a disposi tion of so great a number of cases, a bill has been introduced in the Assembly increasing the number of judges, and removing all restrictions from those jndges who have, at any time, com mitted themselves against the Versailles Gov ernment. Tha result of tho first and supplementary elections for members of the Municipal Council of Paris, has been declared. The Council is composed of 38 Conservatives, 7 moderate Re publicans, 27 Republicans and 10 ultras. Thiers, replying to a delegation from the oc cupied provinces, intimates that in six weeks tho occupation by German troops would be lim ited to Champagne and Lorraine. Berlin, July 31.—The journeymen masons of this city have struck work and appointed a committee to confer with their masters, with a viow more speedily to accomplish the object of the strike. A resolution has been adopted that it is the duty of all unmarried masons to leave Berlin and seek temporary places for work else where. Konigseueo, Prussia, "Jnly 3i.—The Arch bishop of Eimband has pronounoed sentence of major ex-communication against Dr. Well man, and directs that it be read from all the pnipits in his diocese.

Synopsis of Weather Statement. Wab Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer, ) Washington, D. G., July 31, 7:40p. m. ) The barometer has fallen slightly since .Satur day afternoon at the Pacific and Rocky Moun tain stations. Tho pressure on the Upper Lakes, Golf coast, and in New England, has also di minished. The temperature has increased slightly in the Middle States. Light and fresh local winds have generally prevailed, and south easterly winds are now reported from Tennes see to Minnesota. Rain ha3 fallen very genera'- ly to-day on the Gulf coast and at a few stations in New England. Local rains aro also reported this afternoon from the Middle Atlantic States, and threatening weather from Michigan to Lake Superior and westward. Probabilities; No material change is prob able for Tuesday on the Gulf coast. Cloudy weather, with local storms, will probably pre vail north and west of the Ohio River. The conditions remain favorable for easterly wind and extended rain to-night from Virginia to Massachusetts. Further Particulars of the Explosion. New York, Jnly 31.—The ferry-boat West- field attracts large crowds to where she lies. She has been moved to the foot of East 13th street, in charge of Coroner Young. AH human remains, bits of clothing, eta, have been re moved by firemen to the Morgue. The force of the explosion was upward, blowing away the main deck, cabin deck and hurricane deck, in almost a straight line across, and little forward of the centre of the boat. The bulwarks for ward were blown away, and the metal shade aronnd this funnel. lies crumpled like paper. An iron pipe one inch thick, joined to the steam suDply chest, was torn away like cloth, and hurl^ against the side of the boat. Two water-tanks were thrown backward towards the stern a con siderable distance. Ths after part of the cabin is comparatively uninjured. Deaths thus far, 59; injured, 142. The base ball game between the Savannahs and Eckfords has been postponed on account-of the condition of the grounds. London, July 3L—A meeting at Trafalgar Square, to protest against the propped allow ance to Prince Arthur, was held to-night. Five thousand people were present. _ Speakers ad dressed the masses at different points and much excitement was manifested.
