Hot Prom tns Sontaern Baptist Conven
ton. Oor. of the News and Observer.
.' Richmond, Va., May 14.
Yesterday might have been called
Baptist Day in Richmond, as all the
pulpits of I the ;city, except those
of the Episcopal and Catholic
churches,were occupied by its preach
ers. Your correspondent heard Rev.
J. B. Hawthorne, D. D., of Atlanta,
Qa., in the morning, and Rev. A. U.
Dixon, of Baltimore, at night Both
were great sermons to immense audi
ences. At the First Baptist Sunday
school W. Et. Face, Esq , was among
those that male short addresses, as
was also Re. R. T. Vann, of Wake
Forest, at Grace street Church.
The members of the convention are
charmed and delighted with the solo
sinking ; of ; Mr. Cunningham at the
First Baptist church. He sings the
simple street gospel songs, and his
voice is pathetic and clear and his
utterance very distinct.
Looking at the large groups of
North: Carolinians about toe church
before the beginning of services one
would 'think it was a meeting of the
North v Carolina Baptist State Con
vention, This morning we saw in
one of these groups Col. J. M. Heck,
Rev. W. R" Gwaltney, Rev. W. L.
Wright, Dri F W. Hancock, Rev. J.
B. Dill, Revs. J.. and A. O. Mc Man
away, Rev. C. 0. Newton, Chas. E.

eon and Prdf. F. P. Hobgood.
,We had the pleasure of a visit to

success.

" Bikghah School, N. 0 , May 15.
On Sunday 13th, Prof. Winston, of
the University, delived a religious
lecture at Bingham School " on "The
true spirit of Christianity;" and Mon
day a literary lecture on 'Race pecu
liarities in Europe." Prof. Winston
has few equals as a lecturer, and
these two lectures added to his al
ready very I high reputation here.
The religions lecture was earnest,
reverent, practical . and inspiring.
Such as pat their own interpretation
on the teachings of Christ in order to
defend their lack of conformity to
them, ; might call Prof. Winston's
ideas somewhat radical, or at least a
little chimerical. Many said of Chr st
when on earth "He hath a devil, why
hear ye him?" But the common peo
ple heard Him gladly then, and . peo
ple will always hear such preaching
as Prof. Winston's gladly now, be
cause it is clear, strong, thoughtful
and instructive; because it illumi
nates the scriptures, and because it
lifts those who hear aright to a high
er place of duty in the present, and
of hope and faith for the future.
The lecture on "Race peculiarities
in Europe" was specially enjoyable.
No other man in my knowledge has
brought as much back from a Euro
pean tour and distributed it as in-
Istroctively -'as Prof. ' Winston has.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington, May 15 Senate
The Senate committee on finance this
morning adopted a resolution to ask
the authority of the Senate to employ
a stendgrapher for the purpose of
taking the testimony on such subjects
as might come before the committee.
It also authorized the chairman to
appoint a sub committee to investi
gate the tariff matter. The action of
the committee is understood to look
to the thorough inquiry into the sub
ject of the tariff, with the probability
that if the House sends over the tariff
bill the committee will hear the testi
mony upon the interests to be affect
ed, and in fullness of time will re
port the tariff bill to the Senate. In
quiries will, if authorized by the Sen
ate, be begun at once. . In fact a con
siderable store of data has already
been laid in as a foundation.
On motion of Mr. Morrill, the com
mittee, on finance was authorized to
sit during the session of the Senate
to take testimony, . collecting
information (in relation to the tariff)
and employ stenographers.
Among the "bills reported from tht
committees and placed on the calen
dar "were the following: The Senate
bill granting the use of certain lands
to te city of St. Augustine, Fla , for
a public park. The House bill to au
thorize the construction of a bridge
across the Tennessee river at Knox
viile, Tenn.
"'Mr. Blair introduced a joint reso
lution to amend the Constitution so
as to allow the District of Columbia
representation in both- Houses of
Congress. Read twice and referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections. It wLU probably hot come
up again until next session.
The report of the committee on
privileges and elections in yie matter
of Senator Turpie was taken up, and
after discussion the request of the
committee to be discharged from
further consideration, was agreed to.
The House bills appropriating
$100,000 for a public building at Co
lumbus, Ga , and increasing the limit
of the cost for the public building at
Charleston, S. C, to $300,000 were
taken from the calendar and passed.
The bill to limit the hours of letter
carriers (House bill) wf.s taken up
aUjd passed 'Without-discuesion or di
vision. It provides that hereafter
eight hours shall constitute a day's
work for letter carriers in cities or
postal districts connected therewi'b,
and allows them extra pay for over
time.
The Senate bill for the relief of the
Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal Com
pany was taken from the calendar and
passed.
The bill for the establishment of a
bureau of animal industry was dis
placed from its position as "unfin
ished business" and remitted to the
calendar.
The House bill to establish a de
partment of labor was taken up and
laid aside informally, and the pension
appropriations bill was considered.
The amendment reported by the
committee on appropriations increas
ing the amount from $79,000,000 to
$80,473,000 was agreed to.
The next amendment was to strike
out of the House bill the words "That
in all pensions to widows payments
shall - be made from the date of the
death of the husband," and to insert
in lieu of it the following : "That all
pensions which have been or which
may hereafter be granted under the
general Jaws regulating pensions to
widows in consequence of death oc
curring from a cause which operated
in service since the 4th of March,
1861, shall Commence from the date
of the death of the husband."
j Mr. Harris made a point of order
that the amendment was a general
legislation in an appropriation bill.
The same objection, he said, apffted
to the House clause, but the only
remedy in the Senate was to strike it
out, as the point of brder did not lie
against ,
A long discussion followed, turn
mg upon the right of the Senate to
originate appropriation bills and upon
the binding force of rules against
geLtfral legislation on appropriation
oil i. Finally the presiding officer
submitted the point of order to the
Senate, and the Senate decided, yeas
zz, nays i, tnat the proposed amend
men t was in order. The Democrats,
generally, voted in the negative and
were joined in their vote by Senators
iamunas and Ingalls.
After a further discuBsion-as to the
probable cost of the proposed change
in the law.another brief debate on the
department of the labor bill followed
without action, and the- Senate then
went into executive session, and at
5 25 adjourned.
H0CSE.
The Speaker appointed Messrs,
Henderson, of Iowa, Clements, of
Georgia, and Buttorworth, of Ohio,
as a. conference committee on the
Northwestern Exposition bill.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of H
linois, in the chair), on the tariff bill
and was addressed by Mr. Jiutter
worth, of Ohio.
Mr. Butterwoth said the issue
joined between the majority and
minority was not whether the tariff
needed revision or not. Whether the
rate of duty imposed on thrs article
or that was too high was not the line
on which they were divided
and whether the lower rate
of duty so far as any spe
cial schedule was concerned would
yield sufficient revenue and sufficient
protection to American industry was
not the point on which they were
in antagonism. The line on which they
were divided was an economic princi
ple of itself. The gentlemen on the
.other side had -asserted time and
again and persistently that to levy
the tariff, except for revenue for
the purpose "of conducting the af
'fairs of the government, economical
ly administered, was unconstitutional,
unwise, unjust and robbery of the
people. The two parties were divid
ed not as to the wisdom of a revising
of the tariff but as to whether that
revision should be so conducted as
to destroy the system itself. The
point of the contest was upon the pol
icy itself and not upon the manner
of application. It was mere juggling
to say that tariff for revenue would
afford a sufficient protection. That
was not the question but would the
tariff be arranged .with reference to
the proteetive system. He greatly
misapprehended the people of the
country if they would be misled into
the belief that the contest between
the majority anl the minority related
to the manner of the revision only.
The majority assaulted the system
'and had sworn to destroy it and if it
was not destroyed it would not be
the fault of the majority, but the
fault of the patriotic people of the
country. The passage of the Mills
bill would be a .direct condemnation
of the protective policy. It indicated
to the country that whether the tariff
was perfect or not the .Democratic
party was not a fit instrument to perfect
it. He drew a series of comparisons be
tween his own State as an example of
the benefits of the protective system
and the Southern States as illustrat
ing the ill-reulsts of free trade and
its kindred of tariff for revenue only,
and the tariff w th the incidental pro
tection, greatly to the advantage of
his own State, and In conclusion
said that the issue had been fairly
made up between the two parties.
Lat'there be no Btraggling- Let the
resolutions in the National platforms
so fairly present the issue that they
would attest that they were drawn by
patriotic statesmen and not by tem
porary huckstering politicians.
Mr. Simmons,, of North Carolina,
gave his hearty: support to the bill,
although he regretted that it did not
contain a repeal! of the tax on cigars,
cigarettes and (jiheroots and on fruit
branny. '
Speeches iu favor of the bill were
made :bv Mr. BMckalew, of Pennsyl-

Richmond, Va , May 15.- Many of
the delegates to the Southern Baptist
Convention have either gone home or
to Washington to attend the anniver
saries of the Northern churches. The
attendance at today's session was
rather slim. The committee on the
time and place of the next convention
reported, recommendinMemphis as
the place, and the time Friday before

Rev. T. H. Pritchard, of North Car

pn the "suggestions" of the Home Mis
lion Board, which instructs the two
boards to appoint a joint committee
to confer with a similar board of the
Northern societies, not with a view to:
Organic union, but to consider what
can be done to adjust their several
fields and agencies so a3 not to have
a conflict of agencies. The report
also recommends the appointment of
Doctors J. T. Bryce, J. L. M. Curry
and T, H. Pritchard to attend the
World's Missionary Conference in
London.
The motion to strike out the worda
'hot with a view to organic union"
gave rise to a lengthy discussion, but
finally the convention, by an over
whelming vote, rejected the motion
and the report was adopted as it came.

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS
PRESIDED OVEB BT A SZOSV-
Montgomery, Ala., May 15. The
Republican convention was called to
order at twelve o'clock by Chairman
Bingham- A colored man named
Stevens was temporary chairman. He
mide a prepared speech urging the
nomination of a full ticket and eulo
gizing James Noble. He denounced
the federal ofiace-holders in Alabama
during the terms of Hayes, Garfield
and Arthur as rtnlit.ica.1 rascals, actinc-
with the Democrats in the State to I
keep the negro out of his political
rights. -The convention is composed
of some three hundred delegates, of
whom bne-fifth are white, the rest
colored There is an active contest
for delegates at large to the Chicago
convention between Blaine and Sher
man adherants.
No sooner had the temporary chair
man concluded his remarks than con
fusion broke loose, dozens of dele
gates were shouting and at last one
was recognized. He said that the ex
ecutive committee had insulted the
convention by Beating the temporary
chairman without a vote. Confusion
broke oat and almost without inter
mission was kept Up for hours. Three
or four different men all negroes-
were escorted to the stand to take the
place as temporary chairman, but
Stevens held fast, the. Sherman men
as a rule opposing them, and charged
that a game had been played on them.
At 5 o clock, the committee on cre
dentials appointed by Mr. Stephens
made its report,. but whether it was
adopted or not no man can say
The rival chairman, who was seated
on the stand by Mr. Sherman, here
put the motion to adjourn, which was
carried by his own crowd, bat nobody
adjourned. The same rival chairman
then appointed another committee on
credentials. At this point Mr. Ste
phens vacated the chair for Arthur
Bingham,; chairman of the executive
committee, who called the convention
to order and announced that nomina
tions for temporary chairman were
in order. . The convention is still in
session.

Cor. News and Observer.
Hendebsos, N. C, May 12. '88.
I expect that you are right, much
crowded for Bpace,but please grant me
and at onoe, room to correct; a wrong
impression produced by a article sent
from this place and which appeared
in a recent issue of your paper.
Ia the article to which I refer,
your correspondent stated that our
County Convention was unit for
Alexander.
A county convention in a Demo
cratic government is presumed to
fairly represent all the people of the
county, and to allow the different
sentiments of the c.tizens -of the
county a proportionate represonta
tion.
in tue name ot justice, I want to
say, and the hundreds of warm, de
voted friends aud ardent supporters
that; Judge Fowle has in Vance
county join me in saying, the Conven
tion -iras not a unit, the county is not
a unit for Alexander and if the vote
cf this county is cast solidly in
the convention for Alexander,it will
be so manifestly uniast. so clearlv
No Representa'ion" of the senti
ments of hundreds of us who have
loved and labored for the Democratic
party for so many years, who want
Fowle for our leader above all men,
and it will be so undemocratic and at
variance with the principles of the
party, that the men who do it ought
to come back hdmo and hide their
heads in shame.
It would be nothing more nor less
than depriving us of "rights" guar
anteed to us by the fundamental prin
ciples of this government, and de
priving Hon. Darfel G. Fowle, possi
bly, of the glory of governing a' great
State and people.
x or my part I see no difference in
wronging a man or men in the ordi
nary transactions of JLife, and in
wronging him or them by political
legerdemain
I trust that your correspondent
was wrong in his conclusions as to
the delegation, as I know he was as
to the county, and I sincerely hope
that the gentlemen of the Vance
county delegation are made of differ
ent timber. e feel almost abso
lutely certain that some of the mem
bers of that delegation, if not all, are
entirely too fair minded aud love jus

THE ACADEMY CF MUSIC
1
By Telegraph to t!ie News and Observer,
New Yoijv, May 12. Inside the
Academy of music preparations for
the Democratic State Convention
wont mirril.y on all tho morning. The
doors were no: thrown open until
jus'- before noon, however. In Tam
many Hall, where the county Democ
racy held forth, open doors were kept,
and the delegates passed away the
time there while awaiting the open
ing. Streamers and irVgs covered the
Academy of Music and the inside
boxes were handsomely decorated. By
12.45 o'clock, the body of the Louse
was filled by delegates and spectators,
who poured into the house in an un
broken, stream, while a band was dis
coursing popular airs. The Chairman
of the State Committee, Edward Mur
phy, appeared ia front of the stage
and this was the signal for an out
burst of applause.
In a low but audible voice he an
nounced the names of the secretaries.
They were Charles Redford, Thomas
F. Gilroy and V. E. Delany. The
latter had no sootier taken the seats
at the tables on the stage when
Chairman Murphy led to the front of
the stage Frederick R. Coudert, say
ing Gentlemen of the Convention
I have the pleasure of introducing to
you your chairman, Mr. Frederick R.
Coudert.
Mr. Co.idert, in accepting the
chair, paid : There is nothing
particularly strange to me in this as
semblage or this building. The last
time I can remember that you and I
met here for I see many familiar
faces it was , a meeting for, con
gratulations. Some of you may re
collect it. It was iD;Novemher; 1 884,
and we had just gone through the
thrpea of a fiercely contested action.
We believed and we knew, that we
had 'carried the day. Wise " peo
ple r,book their heads and many timid
peojile blamed us for anticipating the
official declaration of the result; but
we told hem then thar. jf we had
been too rapid this time we had eight
years ago been too sjow and we
would stiike an average. (Laughter.)
We felt particularly happy upon that
occasion, because the sensation was
so new. Some of us upon, that
platform who had grown gray in the
Democratic service hardly knew how
to. treat the victory. But victory is not
new to us now. (Applause). We have
become accustomed to it and can con
gratulate ourselves, not only : upon
the prospect we have, but the
record we have made. (Applause).
It waa a trying time that, the time of
protracted and continuous defeat.
I do not mean to recall the bitter cup
in the Democratic feast, but after the
distinguished statesman has been
elected we fouud that the power and
patronage and bayonets and false
reatoniDg woie too much for right
and we had to yield and withdraw.
This, to me, has always been a proud
dav in the Democratic historv. that
we were wise and patriotic enough to
yield even to (he forms of law. (Ap
plause.) .
At the conclusion of Chairman Cou-
dert's remarks the usual committees
were appointed and a recess taken till
7 o'clock. 1
