Funeral of an Old Russell County Citizen.
Beale, Ai.a., Oct. 17.—The remains of
Mr. Napoleon B. Mitchell, who died in
Montgomery yesterday morning, reached
this place this morningat 11 o'clock, and
were tikeu at once to Gleunville, where
they will be interred. Mr. Mitchell was
ifty-eight years old, the greater portion of
w uieh lie tiad spent in Russell county, hav-
ng been born aud raised in Glennville,
via. He left his home near Crawford only
-i few days ago for Montgomery, to visit
his nephew, where died. He had many
riends here, who wiil regret to
his death.
Attendance upon court this week
is small, there being very few cases
on the civil docket. The new cases .which
are three, will be taken up to-morrow.
Blown Into Pieces by Petroleum.
Calais, Oct. 17.—The force of an ex
plosion of petroleum yesterday on board
the French steamer Ville de Calais, which
arrived here October 10 from Philadelphia,
tore off the deck and blew a hole iu her
sides. Only the forward portion of the
vessel sank, and a fire is raging fiercely in
that portion which is above water. The
wreck is lying at the upper dock. Other
shipping lying in the vicinity of the
steamer was much damaged by the explo
sion. It is feared that the loss of life is
great. Portions of a dozen bodies have
beeu found lying on the quays, arms, legs
and heads being scattered about iu shock
ing confusion.
A Misplaced Switch C.*uses a Wreck,
Canton. Mass., Oct. 17.—By a misplaced
switch at the central station here this fore
noon, the train from Fall river was sent
upon the track on which the train for
Aliddleboro was standing. Three cars of
the Aliddleboro train were badly smashed,
aud one car was driven into the brick wall
the body and a vote for the bill, but the
Chamber had been for weeks deserted by
the majority of these, who claimed to be
the earnest, enlightened and only capable
taritf reformers. Tuey had so managed
that no vote could possibly be taken on
the bill until the Senator, were summoned
back tc their posts of duty.
The resolution just read was intended to
excuse the Republican Senators for not re
turning to vote on the bill. The people
need not, he said, expect relief for many
years to come, unless in the November
election they constrained the majority in
the Senate to obey at least their often
expressed will. The fact was
that the Republican Senators did not in
tend to pass the bill now,or hereafter. The
Senate bill was a mere masquerade of mo
nopoly, disguised in the innocent appear
ance of fair dealing and justice to the'couu-
try, and yet the Senate bill was a great and
valuable triumph for the Democracy. It
was a conclusive admission that the' peo
ple needed and demanded a relaxation of
high taxes.

little more he has administered the gov-
] ernneat of this country with such ability,
integrity, courage and patriotism that he
is entitled to the good will and confidence
of the American people. [Applause.]
In the second place, he stands upon a
platform that commends itseli to the con
industries have grown up, that it
would be not only bad policy,
but injustice to abolish it at once.
We know that, and therefore
when they say we are free traders, they
make an accusation against us that Ills no
foundation, in fact. [Applause.]
Yet we do not shut our eves to the fact
: that the mode of collecting revenue by the
tariff’is oppression to the poor people of
; the land. When taxes are collected for
your county of Allen or for your munici-
j pality of Fort Wayne.
It is levied upon your property; you
kuow exactly what you have to list and
give to the assessor to exactly the amount
of taxes you have to pay; but when the
tax comes in this insidious shape of a tariff
i duty, how do you pay for it? No mau comes
j to you, clothed in authority from the
| United States, asking for a tax list, or de
| mandlng so much money. Not one of
I you have a tax receipt from the collector
j of customs unless he haopans to have im-
| ported goods into the United States.
You do not pay it that way. You pay it
j iu the increased price that you give for
everything that has paid duty, and for a
1 multitude of other things that have not
paid duty, but the price or which has been
raised by the domestic producer, as he has
; been enabled to do it by reason of the duty
paid upon imported articles. [Applause.]
The importer brings his goods here for
sale. At the Custom House the Govern
ment says: “You must pay a tax of forty
or fifty, or it may be a hundred, per cent
on the goods before you can sell them
here.” He pays the tax. He sells to the
merchant, aud, of course, puts on the tax
in the price he charges the merchant, lor
otherwise he could not carry on business
ps an importer a single day.
You don’t see it, my triends, but you
feel it. There connot be two hundred or
three hundred million dollars of tax taken
from the people of the United tltates in
that way, and three or four times that
much taken from them for the benefit of
protected manufacturers, without their
feeling it. It is just as certain as death.
The merchant at New York sells it to
the retail dealer in Fort Wayne, and’the
price is still on it, and the duty and
profit of the importer and of the whole
sale merchant in New York and of the
retail dealer here, is on it. There is the
original price, the tax and three profits on
it before it goes upon your backs.
[Applause.]
It is not a tax on property, but it is fix
upon consumption, therefore it is that a
poor man may chance to pay for more
than ttie richest man in the land. [Ap
plause. ]
You take a good honest Democrat who
has fulfilled tue command of scripture

multitude for half an hour.
The distinguished Michigander received
an ovation on his appearance, and when
tie declared that General Benjamin Mai
rison would be the next occupant of the
White House, the audience went wild, and
cheers were re-echoed back by the thous
ands on the outside.
It is estimated that there were thirty
thousand people on the grounds during
General Algers’ address. Confusion contin
ued and the speaker was compelled t ) stop
several times, as the crowds on the outside
persistently attempted to squeeze the life
out of the live thousand inside the taber

Gen. Alger, who said: “Boys, he’s a South

stepped out the crowd sent up deafening
huzzas.
In the midst of Gen. King’s speech a
great noise was heard in the distance. In
a few moments the people recognized the

mark: “But here comes a high priva' > in

As Blaine came upon the platform the
multitude rose and cheered frantically for
several minutes. Chairman Thompson
then announced thar Mr. Blaine’s voice
would not permit him to make a S| :ch

but his throat was again troubling him,

Confusion, however, was so great that

crowd to be silent, but the cheers and

Mr. Aldrich—Which campaign fund?
Mr. Morgan—It does not make any dif

That duty 1 am trying to perform.

Mr. Allison made a statement as to the
duty on cotton ties in reply to the remarks
on the subject by Air. Morgan's pro
posed increase, he said, it would make a
difference of two cents a bale on cotton,
and no more. Air. Allison aiso made a
correction of one of Mr. Morgan's state

that while protection to the sugar refinery,
under the existing law, was ; of a cent a
