V recommend to this body that

taal tare, and ha advance in price
over tne present tare thaii is just and
equitable and that ! eaehj State Alli
ance or Unioa in the cotton ' belt se
cure from t their - respective . legisla-
this demand. , Your committee fur
ther recommend that all cotton pro-
tion be required to use cotton bag
ging aa a covering; or bther fibre
than fate, and thai said cotton bag
ging shall be 44 inches wide and not
less : than 12 ounces per yard in
Weight and of the samel texture as
the . Odenheimor cotton bagging.
And we farther recommend that
each State Alliance or Union be re
quired to manufacture or secure bag
ging sufficient for the use of tueir
respective States, and that the Pres
ident for the time being shall be
charged with tho appointing of all
committees or making necessary ar
rangements to secure said baggirg
for their, respective States! We sug
gest also that seven yards of bag
ging be Qfed as a covering for a bale
of cottb", and that all packages shall
be neatly and securely fastened at
the end of the bale. I
We most earnestly protest against
the wasteful and extravagant method
of sampling cotton, also jthe unjust
weighu and classiheation of cotton
is now being practiced.
We al-o recommend and require
of our National and j Stater Legisla-
tures ta fenact sucn rawsjas wui ei
feetually and ent rely prevent the
sell ng of cotton or grain futures ex
cept wL en actual delivery and a bona

a condition of such sale.
Tour i committee further i recom-
mend that rottonDjroducers be ad- j
vised not to contract any debt in the
future that w It obligate them to de-1
liver their cotton on a given ay,
sobber than the 25th of December.
Your j committee also recommeDd
thai no i cotton from an Alliance or
Union man, grown or controlled,
shall be shipped or sold to aoy point
or party antagonistic ? to I our de
mands hereinbefore set forth.
e Wft tereby tender thej thanks of

changes of this country that endeav
ored to assist na this season, and re
spectfully invite all cot tonf exchanges

Your f committee desire through
this body to congratulate the broth
erhood that so faithfully adhered to
the use of cotton bagging (during the

strated that farmers iould and
would make any reasonable, effort or

Ladies ad GxirrxxMEsr: We have,
assembled to disehax,g& a ..duty, sd:
indeed in character, yet grateful to
our hearts to --paj a. tribute of re
spertotiMr great CbteT?' who was.
the representative and type of our
late civilization, rillustrating , in his'
person, every phaaaiof 4I reAtness.
To those oi us, wrio are near that
bourne to which he has gone, the'
meoiories of his steps up the heights
of greatness will readily recur. We
remember well when at a soldier with
his braveMississippians he turned the
tide of battle on the plains of Mexico,
how the whole Union thrilled with
patriotic order placed the name of
Jefferson Davis high up on ; the roll
of honor as one of its noblest heroes.
We remember, the , , war over, how,
as the Southern planter 'and gentle
man, he quietly became a part of that
government within the irovernmeot,
which moulded so many of the leaders
and statesmen of tW- conntry; We
remember Lira as the -eloquent. - Sen
ator, aa the cafe, honest, and able
Cabinet officer as the great tribune
ou the hustings. , ?
But more impressive than - these,
we remember his grand exit, as he
Iaitipifeiiio4 whicii4 lovedlto
become the Chief of the people
whom he loved better, and the ? rep
resentative of theprineiples to which
he and you and I gave the loyalty of
our deepest convictions. Alas! . God
in his wise Providence had decreed
that the civilization of which. he was
the highest type should pass away.
The gallant soldier, the . kind . and
generous planter, the statesman, the;
patriot, the great Chief backed by a
noble and devoted people, J for four
long years heroically fought and suf
fered in vain. : How . impotent, tne
effbrts of man when QodJ-visiteth the
earth wuh, his i (ut)y iteppmgs."
5Weecrnfe therefore today,-' as it
were, to a double funeral. We come,
glorying in the . achievement of our
leaders and the heroism of our people,
to bury our dead President and our
1 st citizen, and in submission to
Him, who, under all circumstances,
is our jj'rd and Master, to aemcate
ourselves to the new civilization that
is upon us. God will solve -' the prbb
lems thar beset no. ' " P
Standing then, this day, by jthe
grave of our dear representative,
cherishing all that pertains: to charaor
ter formed from the past, let us, tace
to heart the clear duty of pur present
situation and ': broaden and deepen
the intelligence and character .of our
race, by all means inft our power, .so
that when the next amiting of the
Lord shall come : tcir dominant mate
rialism or any other theoretical! or
practical atheism, born of power and
wealth, we may be found tne con
servators of liberty, basking ra the
smile of Him, who if He make us
free then are we free indeed.

more abroad. The Baltimore being
the best cruiser now in the navy the

WasHiiraTOH, D. G, Dec. 12.
The attempt has been made in
some quarters to make it appear
that the Democrats in the house are
not a harmonious family, and com
mon gossip, which usually knows it
all, has started the prediction that
untoward ills are to flow from this
want of concert of thoaght. It ia the
old story, though, of makirig a moun
tain out oi a mole hill. When the
Democrats held their caucus the
rbther day,' there was naturally sev
eral .propositions presented, all of
which, from; an individual rtand
point seemed the best for the' politi
cal' interests of the ' party. One of
these, and the one . that has' caused
this tempest in a ' teapot, was : that a
steering committee of five members
should be designated which was to
-have charge of matters of a political
nature and dictate the course or ac
tko whenever purely partisan meas
ures were forced upon the attention
of the House by the Republican ma
jority. ', A - leading representative,
who favored this course, ' explained
to your correspondent ' that the in
tention of this move was to place the
responsibility for democratic action
upon a committee who were expect- d
to be in constant attendance upon
the sessions of the House, and to
vigilantly watch . the manoeuverv' of
the Republicans in order, that no un
fair advantage should be ' taken of
the minority.; Those who opposed
this procedure claimed, and with
justice, that it Was "the duty of every
democratic member to be in constant
attendance to uphold with his vote;
if not with his voice, the rights cfthe
minority; 'and' that it was; against
democratic principles to transfer- all
party authority even to the eminent
men who would have been named as
this "steering" committee. - 'The lat
ter opinion prevailed, and this is a 1
that the alleged discordant contro
versy amounted to in caucus. As a
result of this action, Mr. Carlisle
becomes the leader of the party, and
he has drawn around him the best
and most effective men as his lieute
nants, with Mills, of Texas, at their
bead. These gentlemen who are
now in the lead insist that every one
of their associates fchall jregula'ly at
tend the sessions of the House, and
remain until the: hour of adjournment
in brdecto be ever ready to meet with
telid front and successfully overcome
any hostile effort made" by the repub
licans. If this programme is faith
fully carried out, it is their judgment
that the republicans will be power-
nva trt oiwirrmlioli ninli mnoh in l.h
way of legislation- which is inimical to
the best interests of the people and
the country. The reason for their
confidence, is that it will be almost
mpossible for the republicans, with
their slim majority, to keep a quorum
in constant attendance and. in such
an event, the refusal of the demo
crats to vote will effectually block the
way to aoy partisan legislation. The
situation, at present, therefore, is very
favorable to democratic, prospects,
and nothing can occur to defeat the
policy of the democrats, unless it be
some such highhanded proceedings
on the part of Speaker Reed and his
followers as even Cromwell in his
palmiest .moments would have been
shamed.
