The Committee on Resolutions reported the following whioh was adopted : Resolved, First—While we reoognize and report the difference of opinion exit ing among ns as to the course pursued by President Hsyes towards the South, we are heartily in, aooord in honoring the patriotio motives whioh have guided him and in hoping that the results of this policy will be peaoe, good will and the oomplete reoognition of the equal rights of all men in every seotionof the eountry, and to the efforts of bis Administration to carry into effect the principles of the pUtform upon whioh he was elected, we pledge our hearty and oordiai support. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Seoond resolution—The Eleotoral Com mission baying been created at the urgent solicitation of the Democratic party, and after the oft repeated declarations of itB tenders in both Houses of Congress, that no faotiona could oavil at its decisions, we witness, with profound astonishment, the assaults of that party upon the august tribunal of its own oreation, beoause its decisions disappointed their expeotationB of the offloial patronage, whioh assaults, so far as they seek to impair the oonfl- deuoe of the people in the fust title of the President to bis high offioe, are equally childish and foolish, but may become extremely mischievous in assisting to diminish the popular reapeot for the de cision of a lawful tribunal. The third resolution calls upon mem' bars of the State and National Legisla tures to assist the return of prosperity to the oountry by adopting suoh measures as will oonduoe to that end. The fourth and fifth resolutions oppose any grant of more than 160 aores of land to any oue person, and slab oppose the reissue of patents by tlfe not of Congress. Sixth—That the long and suooessfnl existenoe under the laws of Congress of the double coin standard warrants us in demanding an early repeal of the legisla tion whioh demonetized silver, and estab lished an almost exclusive gold standard, and we, therefore, favor a return to the free use and uninstruoted coinage of the dollar of 1798, and its restoration to the position it held as a legal tonder during the eighty years of our national existence, thus preserving the equality of the com meroial value of the siver dollar with the gold dollar, keeping both in oiroulation. The seventh resolution endorses the ad ministration of Qov. Hartranft. Eighth—We are in favor of law, and against lawlessness and anarchy with all their attendant horrors and crimes, eqnal rights in making laws, the import of equal duties in obeying them when made, and we tender our hearty thanks to Qov. Hartranft for the prompt, and we hope, the effeotual suppression of the lawless disturbances whioh recently occurred in this Btate. Ninth—That weholdinequal respect the rights of oapital to control its investments and of labor to determine the value of its services, that we depreoate any 'as sertion by violence of the rights of either, and we assert it as the duty of all citizens to hold their respective rights within the just limitation of the law, and any at tempt to ooeroe either by unlawful means should be promptly repressed by such lawful authorities as the exigency de mands. The remaining resolutions, except the 11th, which favors a political tariff, re lates entirely to Btate affairs. Baltimore & Olslo Railroad Block Market.

The Bank of Franoe has with drawn its oiroulation during the last nine months to the amount of at least, 12, 000,000 pounds sterling or $60,000,000, and has aooumulated ooin in about the same ratio, and is now practioally at specie payments, and would, no doubt, formally resume but for the unsettled oondition of the silver question, whioh ia far more disturbed there than here, KENNETH BAINOB FINED TWENTY DOLLABB.

All tbe Mexioans except those who seek offioe and live on revolution, appreciate the firmness shown by the President. Gomez Palaoio a member of Iglesias’ ministry has returned unmolested to Dnrango, and will support tbe Diaz Government. Senor Iglesias is expeoted to arrivo by next packet, and will not be disturbed. It is rumored that ex-Presidont Lerdo is to bo tried for high orimes against the Constitution, committed during his administration, and Gen. Esoobodo is soon to be tried for treason. It is expeoted the disturbanoes in Tepio will be easily suppressed. Gen. Manuel GonzaleB has been ordered to that quarter to restore quiet. Oarlos Olaguibel is appointed oonsul at Ban Franoisoo, and Pedro Gonzales at New Orleans. Senor Zamaooana, who declined a posi tion in the Cabinet, was eleoted to the National Senate by the State of Puebla. Messrs. FriBbie and Vallejo are still in Mexioo. Mr. Frisbie denounces as false the assertion that ho is a^ agent of Score tary Evarts, but mauy well-informed per sons refuse to oredit his denial. Tho Journal El Organo DcLos Rstados newspaper deolares the United States must reoognize President Diaz or with draw their diplomatic and consular corps. There is only oue governmont in Mexioo to be reoognized. The reoognition or non-reoognition of the United States will not alter the faots. Recognition will not retard negotiations, nor will non-roaogni- tiou bring about any concessions. This language shows plainly the anxiety for reoognition, an anxiety which is gens oral. baba Receive* Flore Troop*.

G.—Crazy Horse who eaoaped alone in the direction of Spotted Tail Agenoy, was captured at that plaoe last night. A Poker Convention. Virginia (Nov.) Chronicle.] Capt. Bob, tbe Pinte politician, has oalled a big poker oonvention, to bo held at Amerioan Flat to-day. The subject of this gathering of oard-sharps is to defi nitely settle tbe rolativo value of some of the larger denominations of hands. Some years ago Bob learned the dip, spurs anil sinuosities of the game from a white man, and introduced it into the pastimes of his tribe in a manner advantageous to his private exchequer. He did not, so to apeak, throw the game to them all at onoe, but doled out the fine points in judicious driblets. It took experience and money to learn the game of Bob. For in stance, one day, with $18.G0 in the pot,ono of the players revealed tbe possession of four aces. A trifle like that did not abash the mental resources of Bob, for he ooolly gathored in the pot on a pair of kings and two denees. His antagonist was easily convinced by Bob’s argument tnat the two deuces were just equivalent to the four aoes, having the same number of spots, while the kings gave him the re quired preponderance. Home of the books acouse Bob of having a different poker rule for every change of the moon, and they have demanded a convocation of the tribe to deliberate upon it. Bob, by a diplomatic strike, is now first and fore most in tbe call for reform, and is louder than all the rest in tho demand for a con vention. A Fooling and Npurk 1 Ibk Purgative, llailoy's Saline Aperient is warranted equal to the beBt in, quantity and quality. It is cheaper and better than nauseating pills, or troublesome Seidlitz Powders. It oleanses and tones the stomach and bowels, refreshes the weak and feeble, regulates tbe flow of bile, operates favorably upon the kidneys, is oooling in fevers and delights tbe dys- pectio. After taking one dose of this mild and delightful Aperient no lady will do without it. ___ aug22 djtw2w WILLIAMS' MOTTO I Tho Fiuest Photographs in the oity «t $1.60 per dozen. eodftwtf ALABAMA.

WM. H. CHAM BERS. Col. Chambers was eaoorted to the ohair and addressed tbe oonvention bb follows: Gentlemen of the Convention ; During the last two years I had oooasion to visit almost every seotion of the State and have been enabled in this way to learn from personal observation much of tbe reaour- ces of Alabama and the oondition of her people. I have seen her agriculture Ian guisbing on the bosom of a soil whioh in native fertility and oapaoity for varied productions is unsurpassed on the oonli uent. I have seen her untold wealth of iron, ooal and copper sleeping in almost unvisited solitude amid the mountains, whore nature had imbedded tbem, while our villages, towns and oitiea have been crowded with idle muaole enough to turn them into gold. I have soeu the hard earnings of her peoplo sent to enrioh the manufaourera of ootton and wool and iron in other Beotiona of the Union, while her untamed water courses, furnishing power enough to turn ten thousand wheels, rushed idly through her fields of raw material. I have seen toiliug indus try bowed down with disappointment be fore blighted barvesta and failing enter prises. I have seen a State rioh in all the elements of national prosperity, elad rags, and with scarcely bread enough for her obildren. I have soon Nature standing with both hands filled with plenty, ready to diapeuso her blessings amid a people crashed with bankruptcy and despondency. I have thought of Alabama as she might be, and and as some day she will be, until my heart has swelled with pride in contem plation of the possible greatness of tbe grand old Commonwealth; I have looked at her in her impoverishment until my soul haa been saddened with a sense of her seeming helplessness. We can feed and olothe our ’ people, and aell of our surplus, enough to make our obildren riab, and yet we are annually importing food and raiment for our people. We have ooal and iron enough to fill the mar kets of the world with our wares, and ret wo are buying from others nearly all the manufactures we consume. With tbe productions of almost every land under tbe can ready to obey the touah of well direoted industry, and to spring in pro fusion from oar own expsndless store houses, we are pensioners upon less fa vored countries for our daily supplies. Why in the midst of snob opulence of nature are we so poor ? The question ia one whioh may well engage the thoughts of our wisest men. It has seemed to me the question was worthy of an oooasion like this, and therefore a number of our thoughtful citizens, after consultation, have asked yon, tbe representatives of the various industries of the State to meet eaoh other here in oonvention. The state of pnblio mind is favorable for tbe consideration of these great inter ests. The storms of war, and of a politi cal agitation, soaroely less agitating than war itself,have passod away. Fortbo first timo in sixteen yosrs, tbe popular mind is in composure. Tho mischievous and misguided offorts at reoonstruotion by the General Government have been auooooded in every Southern State by a polioy of reconstruction, undertaken and consum mated by our own people, in whioh the imported oonstitutiona made for us by strangers who nevor understood our wants have been swept away with their inter meddling authors, amid the ruins and rubbish of onr buried controversies. Tbe work of political reoonstruotion having been thus disposed of, aud the public mind relieved of tbe painful tension in whioh it baa been held by the disousaion of these exeiting issues, wo are now pre pared to consider tbe questions bow we may best restore tbe shattered industries of the oountry. I congratulate you, men of Alabama, that at last you have con quered a peaoe. That without any one to molest, or to make you afraid, you osn meet under your own vine and fig tree, to consult with eaoh other as to the best method of restoring your wasted country. Tbe first step in this great work of mate rial reconstruction is to awaken the public mind to its importance. The enlightened thought of tho South, whioh has hitherto employed itself in other avenues, must he direoted to the development of new fields. We ueed in Alabama tbe organiza tion of an industrial public opinion, tbe formation of an industrial public aeuti meut. In tbe broad futnre upon whioh we are entering, these intereeta assume an importance which they never had tie fore. The industrial element must enter into our coming civilization more large ly than it has ever done before. What was distinctive of the South before the war was, not its excellence in the indus trial arts, a foot whioh ia to be explained, not by tbe want of energy of shrewdness in the Southern character, bat beoanae the ambition of the South led in another direction. Social exoellanoe, and the honors of the forum, rather than wealth, oonatitoted the objects of ambition in tbe South ; and hence those pursuits of life in whioh gold was the reward, were subordinated )to those in which success assnrea social or political preferment. Our men of onlture and ambition, al most without exception, went into poli ties or some one of tbe learned profes sions, and in these departments, there fore, the South was at least the equal of other sections of the Union. Onr civili zation was noted rattmr for its eleganoe than its strength. It was a civilization whioh made statesmen rathor than mer chants, orators ratbertbsn manufacturers. The undue subordination of this indus trial element waa a defeot, and an enfee bling defect in the ante bellum civiliza tion of the South. Grand as was that oivitization, the grandest in my concep tion that the world haa ever seen, the want of this element, like the vulnerable heel of Achilles, waa ita weak point. In the era upon whioh we are entering we witness the birth of a spirit among our people whioh is destined to induoe a new aspect of Southern soeiety, and whioh, engrafted on other features of Southern oharaoter, that have survived tho over throw of our old oivilizstion, will secure for it a strength and an aggressiveness we never before realized, while it will retain, I trust, those elements of moral power whioh have constituted its ohief glory. Iu the union of these two forces, one of whioh made the North pre-eminent iu the useful arts, and tbe other of whioh gave to the South the noblest specimens of in dividual manhood, and to Southern socie ty ita distinguishing excellence, we shall develop at onoe tbe moat prosperous, the most lasting, and the noblest form of civ ilization. We oan never know what may havo been tbe oareer of the Bontb, had Bhe Buooeedsd in the effort to establish a separate nationality. Honoring, as I do, the manhood, the wisdom, the devotion to prinoiple, whioh alwayo characterized her sons in the past, I oannot doubt that if left to themselves they would have worked out to glorious reality the problem of free government and national prosperi ty; bnt relying as I do upon the uneeriog wisdom and juatioe of the Providence that rules in tbe affairs of nations as well aa of individuals, I expeot with confidence the ooming of a brighter day and more glorions destiny. When the Roman plow- uhare ran over the aaored spot on whioh the temple of the Mosaio dispensation onoe Btood, it marked the overthow of the highest form of religious truth thou known to the world ; but upon the rains of that dispensation haa aprung up a sys tem iuoomparably grander and more use ful than that whioh it superseded; aud so it may be, that ont of the wreok of our former institutions may spring a now South, destined to a future even more glorious than we oonld have achieved, had we been left to shape our own des tiny. Yon have been oonvened that you may aid in the achievement of theBo grand reanlts. We want the inspiration of oon- oert, not merely for the accomplishment of thuae great enterprises which reqnire united effort; bat to foster the spirit of individual enterprise and improvement. In the arta of peaoe, as of war, the touah of tbe olbow is important. It begets confidence, awakens enthusiasm, stimu lates rivalry. Bringing together tbe men of separate localities, who are imbued with the spirit of progress, makes eaoh individual muro progressive, aud thus accomplishes the double purpose of ao- oeloratiug the foroes of aotivity, aud uniting them iu a conaertod movement. This ia what we profess in this oonven tion. Earnest men in every part of our Statu are considering the problem of its future prosperity—men who, withont for getting tho South of other days, realize that the glories of its future are not to be dug up out of the ruins of ita old in stitutions, but to be oreated by their ener gies, out of the elements of a new civili zation. The soldier who waatea his time in nBelesB lamentations amid the doad of a lost battle field, will never ropair tho damages of defeat; while he who rues from the dust of one disaster, buoklcB on bia armor and gathers about him the foroes whioh are left to him for a renewed oampaigu, may win upon another field a viotory that shall oompensate for all that was lost upon tha first. There is no disloyalty to the buried past in the hearts of those who are labor ing for a new South. The past has Its memories whioh oan never die. We will nurture them while we live, and dying transmit them bb a priceless legaoy to tbe generations which come after ns. But standing amid the graves of our buried hopes, we should be untrue to the foture if we permitted tbe reoolleotionn of tbe past to make ua unmindful of tha duties of tbe present. In laboring for the restora tion of tbe South, we shall but aebieve for our ohildren the glorions destAy whioh our fallen heroes died to secure ; and thus in the prosperity of tbe country to which they gave their lives, we erect to their memory the noblent monument of our gratitude. Never had any peoplo a grander oppor tunity than yon mon of Alabama possess. If this whole earth wore an uninhabited wildorneBs, and by the list of Jeliovn a race of meu wore oroatod, with permis sion to soleot anywbore upon its snrface a oountry possoHBing all the elements of soil and olimate, and water oourHas, aud valuable ores, and the oapaoity for pro- dnoing all of animal and vegetable growth neoesaary to the comfort and luxury of life, tell me where they would find tbem in richer profnsion than upon that part of it whioh we oall Alabama. Here, after wandering from pole to pole, from sea to sea, after exploring tbe advantages of every qnarter of the globe, might they pause, and looking onoe over itB fertile plains,itsgrand old mountains,its majestic rivers, its exhaustlesg beds of mineral wealth, ita splendid forests, exclaim, "Ala bama. Here we rest. T'bia magnificent country is yours; yours to make it, if you will, tho grand est commonwealth in this sisterhood of States; yours to build upou its soil tbe noblest example of prosperity and wealth the world haa ever seen. Yon have not only a goodly oountry, hut you have, at last, a good government; a government which springs from tbe people, and is in bBrinony with their wishes and wants; a government made by and for onrselves; a government which in its organic law, as well as its administra tion, protects every oitizen, no matter what his raee, his oolor, or his previous oonditioD; a government under whioh life is aa Beoure, liberty as well guarded, and property aa safe, as in any State of (he Union. The humblest man may seek his fortunes, and the oapitalist may invest his money in Alabama, with as perfect aasuranoe of protection in his rights as in any other part of tha world. Look where you will, in Europe or iu the Northern States of the Union, and no where will you find the publio mind in greater repose; nowhere will you find the law more justly administered; nowhere will you find greeter oontiileuoe in the future. Labor and oapital have made no war on eaoh other in Alabama. Strikes are unknown in onr borders; riots do not disturb onr peaoe or alarm our fears; cor ruption steins no department of our gov ernment; pnblio opinion holds rigid in quest of tbe eondnot of onr pnblio offi cials; no greet pnblio debt threatens the honor of tbe State or imposes heavy har dens upon the people; in short, whatever is demanded of government to inanre jus tice, promote peaoe and promise stability, ia found in as large measure in Alabama as anywhere else in tbe world. With suoh a country, the fault is ours if its future be not a bright one. Shall we fail ? Are not onr people eqnal to tha demands of this new departure in South ern civilization ? In no field of endeavor whioh the South haa ever entered has she failed to win for herself the proudest dis tinction. A country whioh has produoed Generals like Washington and Lee, states men like Jefferson and Calhonn, jurists like Marshall and Gaston, orators like Henry and MoDuffee, editors like Bitohfe and Prentioe, divines like Baauomb and Tbornbull, haa no cause to blush for her achievements; and when it abfell give tbe same attention to tbe industrial arta whioh it has heretofore given to tbe learned professions, it will exhibit speci mens of exoellenee in that field eqnal to any tbe world has ever famished. The address was very warmly applaud ed. OTHER ADDRESSES. The first paper in order was one by Ool. S. S. Hoott. Bubjeot, "The Wealth of a State ia its Industry."

Dr. Tiohenor, Senator Morgan,. Mr. Lapa- ley, Mr. Cary, and others, gave Home in teresting views and experiences on the same subjeot. HARM. SOME RUBIOUS POINTS ABOUT BIS MOONS. H. It.Parkliurit In the New York Herald.) There are some ouriona oironmatancos with reference to the newly discovered satellites of Mars whioh have not yet been published, arising from the shortness of their periods of revointion. The puter satellites revolves in thirty hours fourteen minutes. While Mars is revolving upon ita axis onoe, this moon goes about three- fourtha of the way round, so that if it roae with the ann this morning, to-mor row morning it wonld have only reached tbe meridian, and would not set until next morning, when it wonld remain for two days below tbe horizon; bo that it would he four days, less forty-two min utes, before the satellite would rise again, lint it goes through all ita phases—new moon, fall moon, last quarter and new moon again—every thirty-two hours, or thrao times duringone diurnal revolution. Rising with the son, as a now moon, this morning at 6 o’oloek, it would be full moou at 10 p. m., before it roaohed the meridian; uew moon again at 2 p. m. to morrow, soon after passing the meridian, and foil moon again when it set at 6 o'clock the next morning. Tho inner satellite revolves in seven hours thirty-eight minutes, equivalent to eight hoars six minates, Martial time. This is nearly three times as fast as the planet itself revolves on its axis, so that the diurnal motion of this satellite is towards the east, rising in the west and setting in the east. It it met the son on the meridian to-day it would set in tbe east, pass around the planet, rise in the west and again reach the meridian thir - teen minutes after midnight, and passing entirely around a seoond time, reaoh tbe meridian at twenty-six (ninutes after noon. During this time it wonld havo passed through all ita phases three times. Although Mars has two moons, aud perhaps three, it has not r moon like oars, following tbe eun and atars in the dinrnal motion and changing in form and position bnt little at eaoh rev olution. Their ehauges resemble those of the insects whioh live bat a day, and their apparent motion ia in the one oaae so slow as to be almost at rest in tbe heavens like a beacon light, and in the other in a direotion eontrary to that of the ann and stars, and contrary to all onr experience of oeloatial motion. Health on u Mure Basis. Iu order to establish health on a sure hasls, the eeleehled system must acquire additional vigor. And yet, patent as this fact Ih, amt widely known as It Is, too many people neglect this vital point in the self treatment of dls- oupo, and physicians are often equally remiss, resorting to the use of palliatives which atfect symptoms only,and fall to accomplish the chief end In view, whioh Is, or should be, Invigoro- lion. Tho main reason why Hosteller's Stom ach Hitters ure so successful In overcoming dlsenso, Is that they impart vitality whero It la deficient, anil thus build up a superstructure for exhausted nature to recuperate ui>oit. The Hitters also Improve tho apppellte, soothe tho nervous system whon overstrained, and are a gonial and agrooahle medicinal stimulant, with a basis of pure spirits holding in solution botanic elements of the groatost oilioaoy.
