RESOLUTIONS APPBOVE HATES' PURPOSE.
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.

HAYES A COMPLETE HUMBUG.
The Republican, speaking of the Cabi

FINANCES OF FRANCE AND THE UNITED
STATES.
The following eminates from high fi
nancial authority : Constant allusion is
being mads to the polioy of Frnnoe in
regard to the resumption as being differ
ent from that adopted here, when the
truth is, that it has been acting upon the
very polioy that the United States is pur
suing, but France iB reduoing her oiroula
tion much more rapidly than the United
States. 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.

MEXICO.
DIAZ GOVERNMENT FIRMLY ESTABLISHED.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Havana, September G.—The British
Mail Steamer from Vera Oruz brings the
following Oity of Mexioo advioes:
Tbe authority of Diaz is apparently
maintained tbronghout the oountry. 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.

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.

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT OOL. 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.

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.
