After the sixty second ballot had
been taken the convention took
a recess of one hour—-from 4 o’clock
to 5 o’clock.
Upon the re-assembling ol the con
volition the ballot proceeded without
change until the sixty-fourth ballot
had been takeu, when Col. Harrison,
after placing Col. Hawes of Buki r iu
the chair, took the floor and made
A GRAND AND ELOQUENT APPEAL
to the delegates, in behalf harmony.
Col. Harris of Worth then obtain
ed the floor, and spoke in favor of
tbe nomination of lion. Wm. E.
Smith without further division.
Col W. O. Fleming addressed the
convention in favor of Col. B. B.
Bower, and discussed what had been
said by Col. Harrison. He contend
ed that the friends of Mr. Bower ivp-
resentqh. a ; majority of Hie popula
tion, although they were in the minor
ity in that convention.
At the conclusion of Col. Fleming’:
speech, Col Harrison was again called
for. He regretted that auv feeling
had arisen at what had been said.
As for himself, his idea was fo pom-
oil on the troubled waters. But,
gentlemen, don’t invoke population
in this discussion. If it had been
left to the imputation of this district,
some of us might not be here to-day.
I represent the Democracy of my
county; not the negroSs. Gentle
men of this convention, show us a
man who can develop as many votes
as Smith has, aud wo will go with
yon. Unless yon do this, however,
we think you should feel ityonr duty
to respect the wishes ol a majority of
the people of your district.
Col. Harris of Worth—“We’ve had
right smart love feast, and I
move that we adjourn until 8 o’clock
to-night. After supper I think we
will all feel better.”
Here Col. W. O. Fleming of Deca
tur again obtained the floor, and
spoke for fifteen or twenty minutes,
renewing the propositions laid down
in his former vemarks and urging tin*
nomination of Mr. Bower.
After a practical and sensible talk
from Col. C. O. Davis of Mitchell tin-
convention adjourned until 8 o’clock.
At 8 o’clock the convention re-as-
semblod and the call of counties pro
ceeded.
After the sevonty-seond ballot a
recess of fifieen minutes was taken.
The balloting continued, resultin

When the eonveution was called to
order at 8 o’clock Mr. IC. T. McLean,
of Thomas, was first recognized by
the clmir. He said that slurs had
been cast upon Thomas ; that his
county had been grossly misrepre
sented, and that he, as* a delegate,
was here claiming nothing hut a good
man. We nre here to abide llie
nomination, and will give the nomi
nee of this convention a goodly
majority as in the past.
When Mr. McLean had concluded,
Col. Harris took the ‘ifoiir, and in
dnlged in a few conciliatory remarks.
If he had offended any one he was
sorry for it He liked the people of
Thomas, and if ho didn’t die in
Worth lie wanted to dio in Thomas.
Two more ballots were taken
without a change. After the 80th
ballot lmd lieeu taken, Capt. S. T.
Kiiigsherry, of Brooks, in nn eloquent
aud manly speech, wliieli elicited
great applause, withdrew the i.ainr
of Capt. Turner. The speech of Cant

casion. lie was followed by Col.

Supreme Court Decisions
•’iillifl'et. nl. vs. Mayor, etc., of Al-
banv, injunction, from Doughcrlv.
WARNER, C. .L
This was a bul filed by the com
plainant against the Mayor and Coun
cil ot Albany praying for an injunc
tion to restrain tlie defendant from
proceeding to enforce a certain tax
ordinance of said city. Upou hear
ing tin: application for the injunction
prayed for, the chancellor refused to
/rant it, whereupon tlie complainants
xcepted. By its amended charter
the defendant is anthorized to levy
ncli taxes as may be necessary for the
mpport of the city government, and
a such way as shall be deemed by it
to operate most equally on all thecit-
zeus and property within the corpoi
ite limits of the city. On the 7th ot
fanuury, 1878, tlie Mayor and Coun
cil of the city of Albany gassed an or
dinance imposing a special tax upon
those who were engaged in certain
business pursuits or callings within
tlie limits of said city, such as retail
ing spirituous liquors, keeping board
ing houses, billiard tables, livery sta
bles ami various other business' pur-
nits enumerated in said ordinance.
The complaint i9 that only a small
portion of the business avocations of
the citizens of Albany are taxed,
whereas there pre many business pur
suits and avocations carried on iu thi
•itv which are not taxed by said or-
liiiance; that the constitution of 1877
requires that all taxation shall be uni
form; that if you tax the liquor deal
or in said city, you must also tax the
gardner and every other pursuit or
avocation carried on within the lim
its of said city. The constitution of
1877 declares'that “All taxation shall
be uniform upon the same subjects to
be taxed within the territorial limits
of (lie authority levying the tax;”
that is to say, that if a tax of twenty-
five dollars is levied upon the class of
liquor-dealers in said city, the..same
tax must be levied upon all that class
of subjects in order to make it uui
form. But it does notfollow that be
cause the municipal authorities think
proper to tax the class of liquor deal-
rs in the city, that they must tax the
occupation of the gardner, or any
other occupation carried on in tlie
ity. The corporation may tax the
business or occupation of one clas
sed omit to lax the businessoroccpa-
tiou of another class. Mayor ami
Council of Athens vs Long et. al.,
54th Geo. Rep. 330. But if the class
of gardners, or the class of any other
occupation be taxed, the tax on that
class of occupations must be the same
as contemplated by the constitution
of 1877. As to tlie other questions
made in Hie complainant’s bill, sec

Our Troubles With Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 30—One of the
most intelligent special agents of the
Govern incut, who has been on a mis
sion lo the Mexican border, sends a
a report of liis visit lo tlie Treasury
department. He traveled along the
border of llie Rio Colorado to the
Rio Gramle. He says that some-
lliilig should be done by tlie repre
sentatives of belli countries to bring
about a belter condition of affairs.—
There are 1 idler ways, lie thinks, ol
accomplishing this Ilian by the mar
shalling of froops as a menace on the
border. The high tariffs on the pro-
duels of llie countries engenders and
cm-om-agessimiggling. This, lie sug
gests is one of the priucipnl and over
looked causes of trouble on the hor-
der. Almost everybody is iu svmpa
I by with (lie smugglers. He advanc
es Hie assertion that the only effeetiv
cure, the most peaceable and perina-
nenl solution to the entire problem, is,
reciprocity between the two countries
liy means of a treaty of commercial
amity for free admission into bolli
countries across Hie boiler of their re-
spective products. He concludes by
asking; -Have not England, France,
ami Germany quietly obtained posses
sion of llie hulk of the Mexicau trade,
while the United Stales has been sei
ning hoi-border troubles by corves-
Itoudence, commissions, threats and
