Immigration Convention.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 13.—The South
ern Inter-State Immigration Convention re
assembled this morning in the hall of the
House of Representatives at "the state Capi
tol. Nothing could better illustrate the
changed sentiment among the Southern
people. A little more than a quarter of a
century ago in the same hall the Southern
Confederacy was organized. Today repre
sentatives of every Southern state, including
New Mexico and Arizona, adopted what
they believe to be a practical plan for in
dating Northern people to come and make
themselves welcome in all parts of the
South.
The first business was the appointment of
a committee to wait on Gov. Seay and in
vite him to address the convention.
OOT. SEAY’S ADDRESS.
Among other things Gov. Seay said:
I like to say in your presence that the
great purpose which lias drswn you to this
plaoe has my most heartv personal approval.
I repeat that at the beginning of tins cent
* ury, or thereabouts, the particular section
which is so largely represented here had
thirty congressmen, and in 18110 they had
thirty-five representatives in the lower house
Of congress. In 1888 they had 147 represen
tatives in the lower house of congress at
■Washington. The representation tnere is
•based on the population, and the statement
■ carried the argument that the stream of immi
gration to this country divided around the
boundary lines of tho territories represented
here.
BRIGHT FUTURE OF Tit R SOUTH,
■“The cause, and the only cause of this di
vergence of population has been removed
and now under and through the great force of
absolutely free institutions we may expect a
development equal to that of auy country on
the earth. Men have only to come among
xu to be convinced of the advantages of this
particular section. To the south of us is the
.great gulf still unvexcd by the argosies
-which are yet to freight it. Further still to
the south of us is a prosperity that is exceed
ing anything on this continent oven, and the
connection which will eventually bring into
immediate communication the great golf to
which I have referred and the Pacific ocean
will mark an epoch in the commercial great
ness of the Southern states that will exceed
any other in the history of any country. The
J iast is secure aud we have our hands upon
ta sacred traditions. The present and the
’future are ours. Our faces are set forever to

The Inequalities of tho Senate Substitute
Shown Up lly Vance.
Washington, Dec. 13.—After disposing
of the business of the morning hour the
Senate at 12:10 o'clock resumed considera-
tion of the tariff bill, the pending qnestion
being the amendment offered by Mr. Coke to
admit cotton ties, etc., at a rate of 35 per
cent, ad valorem.
Shortly afterward Mr. Riddleberger ob
jected to the displacement of “morning
business” and said that advantage had been
taken of “absenteeism occasioned by the
business of the Senate.”
Mr. Vance criticised the Senate substitute
and declared that it was arranged without
the slightest regards on the face of the eartli
to the interests of the agricultural classes.
At this point Mr. Riidleherger rose to a
point of order.
Mr. Vance—I do not care what the senator
from Virginia rises to, I decline to he inter
rupted. I hope he will not be permitted to
interrupt me auy more.
The pres:ding"otBcer(Mr. Berry was in the
chair)—The senator from Virginia will state
his point of order,
UtDDI.KIIEnGBB WAXTS BULBS OBSERVED.
Mr. Riddleberger—I will do so, when the
senator from North Carolina (Mr. Vance)
takes his seat.
The presiding officer again required Mr.
Riddleberger to state his point of order, bat
the senator from Virginia insisted that tiie
rules required a senator to take his seat
when another Benator rose to a point of
order.
Finally, as Mr. Vance retained his stand
ing position and as Mr. Riddleberger per
sisted in liis demand, the presiding officer
ruled that the senator from Virginia was out
of order and that tho senator from North
Oara'ina had the floor,
“That,” said Mr. Riddleberger, “is because
the senator from Arkansas (Mr. Berry) does
not know any better.”
The senator from Virginia it again out of
order, said the presiding officer, and it is a
question for the Senate to determine os to its
correction.
At this point Mr. Ingalls reinmed the chair
and with a sharp rap of the gsvel recognized
the senator from North Carolina. Mr. Vance
had not proceeded far in his argument wiien
n “point of order” was again raised by Mr,
Riddleberger.
The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) asked
Mr. Vance to pause until the point of order
should be stated—"and take Jiis seat,” in
terrupted Mr. Riddleberger.

Resolved, That the executive committee
prepare as soon as practicable a well di
gested plan for tho promotion of immigra*
tion, to be potted by the several inter-state
organizations.
A BEQUEST FOB THE COTTON TAX.
R. D. I!;rrv' , o! Alabama offered a resolu
tion to have the board of the bureau of
Southern iuters-tate immigration prepare a
tru-t.
Your committee furthermore suggests that
ill matters pertaining to the conduct o( the
inter state lmreau be left solely to the con-

will be represented by one of her most able
and representative men in the formation of
the executive committee,

Yoot committee further suggests that aaid
inter state bureau shall consist and be com

that when a Vacancy occurs In said exec
utive committee, the governor of the atate
from which the retiring member came shall
be requested to till .said vacancy, and, in
-ease the said governor fails to make inch
appointment, the executive committee snail
fill aaid vacancy.
On motion of Mr. Patrick of North Caro-
he said, that raised the duty on cotton ties
100 per cent.
Mr. Call argued that the tax on cotton tie
came within the constitutional prohibition
against levying a tax on exports.
Finally tbe amendment was voted on and
was rejected by a strict party vote. Yeas,
18; nays, 23.
itr. Coke moved nn amendment rndnri;
the Unties on cotton ties to 35 per cent, nd
valorem. The clause in the substitute rends:
“Provided that hoop or band Iron, or hoop
from Virginia will state his point of older.”
Mr. Riddleberger did not persist much
further, but stated his point of order to
the effect that “morning business” had not
been gone through with. The presidin
officer declared that the point was not we'
taken, and directed the senator from Vir
ginia to take his seat. Mr. Riddenberger,
however, did not comply with the order,
but persisted in his objection.
“If the senator from Virginia does not take
his seat,” s&iil the presiding officer, in u
severe and resolute manner, “the chair will
call on the executive officer of the 8inatc to
enforce the rule.” There was no farther
contest, and Mr. Riddleberger, with an air
of profound disgust, retired to a seat on
one of the rear sofas.
VANCE snows THE BILL’S INJUSTICE.
Mr. Vance then proceeded with his argu

United States who produces cotton who be
lieves that any inch remit w'll follow. The
Deity himself'dbea not compel human beings
to accept his blessings. There is a right
which we call freo will. Tims the
most obdurate and hardened sinner
may reject tho greatest blessing. We
ask the privilege of declining this charity
at your nam's. We toll yon we do not want
it. We woul t rather not have it. We believe
that you intend ns good, but, for the sake of
humanity, jast leave us out of the line of
your charity. Apply it to other people who
believe as you believe. I would be more
willing to risk tbe dangers of foreign combi
nation to produce cotton ties than to risk
the dangers of American combination. We
would rather hear the ills we have than fly
to others that we know nothing of. We are
not in a condition to make experiments.
Try them with other people, hat leave us
aloae.
Mr. Vest said that of ail the items in the
bill, the one under consideration ought to

and .generosity of tke northern section of

country politically and financially. Cotton

The Common Opinion as to Its Decline—
Anecdotes of Dr. Johnson.
A writer in Chamber’s Journal over
twenty-five years ago claimed that “the
ancient art of conversation” was, even at
that time, failing into decay. Two prin
cipal reasons were given—first, that people
were becoming, as a rule, too busy to talk,
and, second, that they were beginning to
read too muclv. A great deal of reading,
of co.urse, implies a great deal of writing.
The pen, according to this writer, was
a slanderous, ignoble, and mendacious
weapon. When a man writes he sits crook
ed over a desk, lib form distorted out of
its customary erect and godlike attitude
and lie dist iru lib statements in a man
ner that would not be possible were li is
adversary looking him in the eye. “Con
versatiou means a commerce of the eye
and lip, as well as an interchange of ideas,
Talk is tbe fence of the wits. It is the
chivalry of intellect—there is a thrust and
parry, nimble brain shiftings, quick move
ments of the fancy, retreats upon the
memory, strategic advancea upon the ar
gument.”
If one were to set about composing a list
of eminent talkers, he would naturally be
gin hb search among the ranks of women,
as all history and all experience credit
tbe fair sex with great subtlety and facil
ity of expression. And there have been
many noted conversationalists among
women, not the least noted of whom, per
haps, was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu,
whose brilliancy charmed the witty
society of her day; her mental
talons were as sharp ns the poet
Pope’s and were always concealed in silken
sheaths, which was not apt to be true of
the ungainly little satirist when he be
came vexed. Conversation is more nearly
a lost art today than it was twenty-five
years ago. Men of impoitancc, men of
affairs, men who think for others, are
frequently gauche and silent in conven-
a mob, were originally slang formations.

might be mentioned which have a real

From its awkwardness to caulk occurs the
phrase. “Boxing the compass” comes
from the Spanish box-ear, to turn round.
‘ A cock and bull story,” a term now ap-
plied to any rambling tale, illustrates the
contempt felt by the learned for the an
cient beast fables, which were the delight
of mankind in the lower grades of civilisa
tion through the middle ages. Many
words of this class, had not their origin
been noted down, would have remained in
the language as undecipherable mysteries.
But we cannot find the etymology of
everything.

Dr. Simuel Johnson is generally re
ferred to as the prince of talkers. Yet his
methods left much to be desired. One of
his favorite methods of argument, accord
log to Colonel Fred Grant, was n flat de
nial, and he considered that treating nn
adversary with respect was giving him an
advantage to which he was not entitled.
Johnson possessed to a great degree one
faculty which is absolutely necessary to a
good conversationalist, and that was a
oioou, tne strong luvor ot some slang
word, which, like Stefano and Trinculo.

classic English,a but like them is proudly

according to Hester Piozz*, “because of his
rigid attention to veracity.” How mnny
people have short memories at the present

a lie is told it should he gracefully done.
On one occasion he brutally interrupted a
story te.ler. affirming that “he was neither
capable of giving dignity to falsehood
nor willing to remain contented with the
truth.” Dr. Johnson claimed to be a good
