The great international Cotton Elk
position, to begin at Atlanta on Octo-
Der 5, will be very different enterprise
from what was at first projected-from
mere exposition of cotton and its analog-
GUS interests the projectors now find
themselves making preparation for what,
to all intents and purposes, will be
worlds fair, at which citizens of most of
the countries of North and South
America and Europe will appear as ex-
hIbitors, and in which there will be e
place for every product of human in
genuity except such as are in
any way dangerous or offensive.
The exposition viii be opened
on Wednesday. October 8, on which
occasion the President of the United
States, the members of the Cabinet and
the Justices of the Supreme Court will
be present Arrangements, also, are
nearly effected for a Governors day,
which will follow Immediately after the
centennial exercises at Yorktown are
ended; then the exposition authorities
expect to receive the Governors OF all
the States in the Union and the French
naval officers who took Fart in the CEN
tennial exercises at Yorktown as their
guests. At intervals during the exposi-
ton addresses will be made in As
sembly Hall by some of the most
distinguished representative men in the
country, and reasonable announcements
will be made of the time and name OF
such speaker, so that visitors from dis
lance who desire to hear may make their
arrangements to be present. 1t is the
expectation that this free discussion,
participated in by eminent representa-
tive men of all sections of the republic.
will be one of the most pleasing and
profitable features of the exposition.
The Chief of the Department of Trans
portation has made some of the cheapest
excursion rates yet known, and there is
no doubt that more people will go South
this fall than ever before. The rate
from Chicago to Atlanta and return is
but fifteen dollars. Similar reductions
on other routes are expected.

Developments Awaited.

The Atlanta Post appeal of Sunday as
sures the public that a sensation of a
personal character is on the tapis there.
1t is said to have grown out of an infa-
nous attack upon the integrity of Gen.
Gordon contained in letter written
from Atlanta to the Chicago Tribune in
reference to the Georgia Western Rail
road. The attack was contained in an
expression of opinion by ga gentle
man of Atlanta with whom
the writer of the letter Zone S. w. P.),
had held a conversation. This letter
was reproduced in the P0St-AppeGI. The
imputation on his integrity, gross as it
was, General Gordon could well afford
to ignore. Mr.. Hugh Gordon, the son
of the General, the Post Appeal states,
resolved to probe the matter, and his
search led up to w. A Huff as the party
who made the attack. Huff, when in
terrogated, is reported to have failed to
recollect having used the language at
tributed to him. When confronted with
the correspondent, however, he agreed
to let his version of what he said stand
as being correct. What course MIR. Cor
don will take has not transpired. The
Post Appeal states that further develop
ments are expected. The Constitution of
Sunday makes no reference to the sub
iect.

throwing Festive.

The New York papers are growing
FESTIVE under the Senatorial dead lock
now prevailing at Albany, and urge
either an election or adjournment of the
Legislature. The sessions of this body
entail an expense on the State Treasury,
to be footed by the tax payers, of s., 600
day, which is no small item. 1t is an
nounced from Albany that Senator
Conkling addressed a caucus of his
friends last week, in which he indirectly
advocated an adjournment OF the Legis-
lature, while cautioning his friends and
followers not to offer the adjournment
resolution. The same evening a
conference of forty-five administra-
ton men was held, at which a
resolution was unanimously adopted
pledging all present to remain till De-
cember 81, if necessary, in order to elect
two Republicans United States Senators,
and also pledging members in no case
ever to vote for Conkling or Platt or any
opponent of the national administration.
This bold front viii be apt to further
dispirit the Conklingites, who, as last
resort, would doubtless vote with the
Democrats for an early adjournment,
trusting their chances with the Legisla-
ture to be elected in the fall-a desperate
chance, indeed, but the only one which
seems now to give Conkling and Platt
the slightest hope of return to the
| Senate.

The New York Times thinks 'Mr.
Brady doth protest too much for man
against whom no process of court has
vet issued" The Tribune styles the
Brady motion ''an ingenious bit of by
play" and says he will doubtless hear
from the courts soon enough. The Sun
expresses the opinion that "the star
route plunderers will never be indicted
and tried in earnest" The Philadelphia
Press says: 'Mr. BradY's counsel did not
hope for an instant trial. The idea was
to prejudice the governments case. a de-
sign SO transparent that it has already
defeated itself. The government will at
tend to this business in its own way, and
when it goes into court the star route
conspirators will not greatly enjoy that
way" The Philadelphia Times says:
Yesterdays move was only one more
effort in the game of brag that Brady
has been playing. He wants to excite
public opinion in his favor, but he may
as well learn first as last that public
opinion has been forestalled and that it
believes him guilty"

The concession given by the Mexican
Government to the Internal Railway I'm
provement Company gives the company
the right to build railway line, with its
corresponding telegraph line, from the
Rio Grande, between Laredo and Rey-
nosa, touching at San Fernando and San
lander Jiminez, with obligations to con
struct branch roads to Cuidad Victoria
and San Luis Potosi, Matamoros and
Bar of Jesus Maria. From Santander
Jiminez the trunk line is to continue
south by the most convenient ascent to
the table lands and to the City of Mexi-
co. Thence it may continue to the Pa
cific coast. At the end of ninety mine
years the road becomes government
property. The law granting the conces-
sion was passed May %, but it was only
on June that President Gonzales au-
thorized the publication of the necessary
decree.

THE KENTUCKY SENAToRsHIP.- Gov.
Blackburn, of Kentucky. expresses the
opinion that United States Senator Beck,
by the time the election takes place. will
have practically no opposition. This is
gratifying news, for it would be hard,
even for Kentucky, fruitful as she is
with great men, to find one who could
in all respects measure up to the stand
ard of the sturdy Scotchman, who, in the
lower House, was for years the leader of
the Democratic side, and who, in the
upper House, has maintained his reputa-
ton for ability and honesty.

WHAT CABINET OFFICER SAYS
According to Washington dispatch the
absence of harmony in the official house
hold becomes more marked as time wears
on. The members of the Cabinet com.
ment on each others acts and motives
with freedom which is far from cour
teous. A recent remark attributed to
the Attorney General is striking case
in point. This officer is reported to have
remarked that Bob Ingersoll had been
retained by the star route jobbers solely
with view TO his personal influence
with the Secretary of State.

The Washington Star of Friday says:
"Private advices received here from
Long Branch this afternoon assert that
General Grant has made up his mind to
seek en- interview with the President,
and intends to call on him this evening.
If such a meeting had taken place the
country would ere this have been in
formed of it. After Grants coarse abuse
of Garfield, it is hardly to be supposed
that he would venture upon such an ex-
pedient President Garfield can make
no terms with Grant and Conkling short
of absolute surrender to them, which,
under existing circumstances, would con-
sign him to infamy.

The new law for the protection of
children in New York city went into
operation Tuesday. 1t makes it misde-
meanor for the proprietor of any theatri-
cal exhibition to admit to an evening
performance any child under sixteen
years of age, unless accompanied by a
reputable adult person. Persons selling
LIQUOR TO said minors, and persons who
shall suffer or permit them to engage in
any game of chance in places where
LIQUOR is sold, are also held to be guilty
of the same offense, and will be pun
ished accordingly. Such law rigidly
enforced would accomplish great good

A New TeIenhone system.

Professor A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts
College, Mass, who disputes the palm of
priority in the invention of the telephone
with Mr.. Bell, has invented new
method of transmitting vocal sounds by
means of electricity. In its principles
of operation it is wide departure from
the Bell system. In the latter we place
between the ear and the line wire me-
tallic diaphragm. magnet and coil of
wire about the magnet. Remove these
and nothing remains of the Bell system.
This is what Prof. Dolbear does. To re-
ceive a message he simply applies the
end of the telegraph wire coming from
an induction coil to the ear, the extremi-
ty of the wire being expanded into a
thin circular plate about two inches in
diameter, and having another facing,
but unconnected with it-a continuance
for intensifying the sounds given forth
by the end of the wire. The apparatus
consists of battery connected with an
induction coil. The transmitter Reiss'
patent, 1861 is placed in the battery Cir
cult; the receiver, as just stated, is one
of the extremities of the wire
coming from the induction coil. 1t is
not necessary to employ both. The
apparatus usually employed by
physicians in medical applications of
electricity embraces all that is essential
to the new telephone. Let one of the
handles Gnsulated) be held to the ear
while an assistant makes and breaks
contact in the battery circuit; the sound
made at the point where contact is made
and broken, however distant, will be
distinctly heard. The system of Prof.
Dolbear has been tested by practical
use, and is said to work satisfactorily.
1t is claimed to have some important adj
vantages over the Bell system, such as a
capability of being worked over long
lines of wire, freedom from the troubles
of induction, and the absence of those
suffering or Kissing sounds which cur
tail the use of the Bell system.
