Pardon, for Jesus’ sake, our many sins; make us all true soldiers of the cross; sanctify and save us, since we ask and offer all in the name and for the sake of Christ, dear Redeemer, the great captain of our salvation. Amen!” Welcomed to Tennessee. At the conclusion of the prayer Gen eral Gordon introduced Governor Me Mi linn of Tennessee, who welcomed the delegates in behalf of the state. Governor McMillan gave a most j hearty welcome to the visitors of the city, and his address was received with every manifestation of approval. He complimented the men of the south on their glorious record in the war and de plored the fact that so many of tbo glo rious band had passed away. Cheer after cheer greeted the governor as he . resumed his seat. Mayor Williams of the city of Mem phis was next introduced by General Gordon and extended to the visitors the welcome of the city of Memphis. The greetings of the Memphis vet- eraus and executive committee of the citizens of Memphis were extended by i former United States Senator T. B. Turley. Senator Turley opened his address by declaring his pleasure at the duty that I had devolved on him of extending the greetings of the citizens of Memphis. Among the citizens, lie said, were many who during the war had placed their sympathy and resources against the cause of the confederacy.

He made a strong plea for that justice to the motives actu ating the south during the war which, he asserted, had been denied to them by certain historians. Tne children of the south, he declared, must never be made to believe that their fathers had done anything but what they believed in their inmost hearts to be right. He closed with an eloquent tribute to the patience and heroism shown by the women of the south, which fully equalled, he said, the gallantry revealed by the men upon the battlefield. Bisnop Gailor made a most pleasant and emphatic expression upon his hear ers, and time and time again he called forth the old “rebel yell” in pleasure at his utterances. Wlieeler and Lee. During the address of Bishop Gailor, General Joseph Wheeler had quietly entered the hall. As soon as General Gordon espied him he rapped vigorous ly for order and said, with a simile: “Although I was a member of the in fantry of the confederate army, I am not ashamed of the cavalry, v and then, grasping the hand of General Wheeler, he said, simply: “Comrades, Joseph Wheeler.” While the two famous leaders stood hand in hand the cheers that had greet ed General Wheeler on his first appear ance were intensified ten fold. There were loud calls for a speech from Gen eral Wheeler, but he bowed his thanks and shook his head with a smile. The delegates were insistent, however, and the general was compelled to express his thanks for the welcome accorded him. He paid an eloquent tribute to the valor of the men of the south. There were loud calls for Fitzhugh Lee, and that general, who was intro duced by General Gordon as a modest youth who had grown into a modest man, delivered a short speech, filled with pithy drives at the modesty of the infantry, in which General Gordon served. He concluded his speech by telling a story of a negro man attached to Longstreet’s corps who always sought a place of safety during battles by hunt ing up “the place where the generals were.” After the membership of the com mittees had been announced, the con vention adjourned at 1:2:40 until 10 o’clock Wednesday morning.

B McMaster, Druggist, The Convention Settles Down to Ileai Work — Standing; Committees Are Announced by the President—Xurn- ! her of Ordinances Introduced. Montgomery, Ala., May 28. —The ne- j groes of Alabama, through a committee of their leading taxpayers, today pre- i sentea an address to the constitutional convention. A committee of three, with Booker T. Washington as its chairman, prepared it. The address is a plea for conservative action and such suffrage restrictions as will apply to both races alike. It re- I minds the convention that timy came | here against their will, but have been benefited, trained and Christianized. ; They did their duty in the civii war j and la the Spanish war. They have | ceased for 20 years to be an offensive j element in politics. Leading members : cf the race have persistently urged the I negro to trust the white man. For these | men this is a crucial time. The negro pays some direct taxes. He pays much ! more indirectly through his labor. He ! is iu the main a producer of wealth and generally contented and law-abiding. The Negro’s Fears Aroused. Already the emigration agent and ex associations are at work on the ne gro’s fears that his citizenship and schools will both be taken away. The relations are now reasonably satisfac tory between the races. Anything that will unsettle the negro now, when he i3 settling down to thrift and common sense, will injure both races. The address pleads that all incentive for right and useful living be not with- > drawn from the young negro. The ne gro is not seeking to rule, but since he is taxed, works the road, is punished for crime and responds to calls for pub lic service, he asks some humble share in choosing his ruler. The address con cludes: “Any law which will merely change the name and form of fraud or can be interpreted as meaning one thing when applied to one race and something else when applied to another will not in our opinion improve our present conditions, but may unsettle the peace and thrift of our people and decrease the wealth and prosperity of Alabama.” C< minittees Announced. The important feature of yesterday’s session of the convention was the an nouncement by the president of the standing committees, the more im portant chairmanships being as follows: Judiciary, Smith of Mobile; order and harmony, White; suffrage and elections, Coleman of Greene; legislative depart ment, Oates; education, Graham; execu tive department, Jones of Mentgomery; declaration of rights, Lomax; corpora tions, Harrison; representation, Pitts; militia, Wilson of Clarke; banking, Fletcher; municipal corporations, Weak ley; amending constitution, Poster. Proposed Ordinances. There was a flood of ordinances and resolutions, among them the following: That no vagrant be alloweu to vote; rais ing power of the governor to make tem porary loans from $100,000 to $800,000; providing that no public officer shall re ceive for himself a pass or frank from any corporation, violation shall forfeit his office and he shall bo guilty of a mis demeanor; requiring separate schools for whites and blacks; that the limit on state and county and municipal taxa tion shall not be raised; that no bonded debt be created by any county, city or district without au affirmative vote of a majority of the people interested; that the capital be kept at Montgomery; that representation iu the legislature be based on the whole population; to pledge the convention to take no backward step in education. Suffrage Clause. The leading feature of the suffrage elau-e offered by ex-Governor Jones to day is that which denies the right to voce to “any person who shall hereafter be guilty aud convicted of selling his own vote or buying or bartering the vote of another iu any legal election or in any primary, caucus or convention held to nominate persons for public office or to elect delegates to any pri mary or convention, or who shall make or aid iu making any false count, cer tificates or returns as to the result of such election, primary, caucus or con vention, or who shall thereafter carry concealed weapons and be duly con victed thereof. ” The Evangelist Declares He lias Ac complished Rood. Savannah, May 27.—Rev. Sam Jones was seen yesterday at his hotel, where he talked interestingly of Savannah, the success of his meetings in this city, abuses that exist in the administration of the affairs of the body politic, of one or two of the officials and of the finan cial end of his engagement to preach to the people of- Savannah. Asked about the success of the meetings aud if he thought the results have been of a na ture to repay him aud Mr. Stuart for their labors. Mr. Jones said: “One example of the good that has been accomplished by the services was shown last night, when there was less beer aud wnisky sold in Savannah than there had been on any Saturday night in 20 years. When such concrete in stances are offered there can be no doubt of the good that is resulting. “Of course it cannot be told with cer tainty, but I estimate that there have been 1,000 converts to Christianity made through the agency of the meet ings, while 5,000 have come forward af terwards to the platform in the taber- necle to shake my hand. Net only peo ple of Savannah, but drummers stop ping over in the city have been saved.” WOMAN CHOKED TO DEATH. Negroes Near Dublin, Ga., Chasing an Outlaw. Macon, May 27.—Bertha Simmons, a negro woman living 7 or 8 milos west of Dublin, was on Friday afternoon crimi nally assaulted and then murdered near a small stream, iu which she had been fishing. A negro by the name of John Robinson, who was engaged as a farm hand on the same plantation, mysteri ously disappeared the same day. Coroner Donaldson impaneled a jury and went out to investigate the murder. The rag with which the woman wak choked to death and the pocketkuife found lying near were identified as the property of Robinson, and this, with other evidence audcircumstauces point ing to him as the guilty parry, caused the jury to fasten the guilt upon him and to cause a warrant to be issued for his arrest, charging murder. The offi cers are on a hot trail after him. The negroes are highly incensed over the affair and should they overtake him when the officers are not present it is quite probable that he will be sum marily dealt with. p & JV? <5.

Things have got to be done just as well as brains and brawn can do them before they are good enough for our customers. The great item iu the cost of anything is the labor in making it.
