' : Sound Money or Silver Alone. lx There ia no- cloub't, or hesitancy, or equivocation in Secretary Carlisle's speech at Covington upon tho money question. No stronger speech has .been V made or ia likely to be made in defense of honest money, and it lays down the lines upon which alone a successful bat tle can be fought against the free coin age craze. ' j. To begin with, he presents the facts clearly, and mo3t of the current vagaries are- due to ignorance of the facta. He shows that, so far from silver haviog t been recently "demonetized" inv this country, there have been coined since 1878 liftv times as Imany legal tender silver dollars as in all the previous his tory of the Government, and that there never was a time wnen one-inira a .' 'innch-silver -was money as at without depriving of L'ald. Fomethim in actual use as resent, and this us of the use that was never done before. .This lias been achieved be cause the coinage ofl silver has been so limited and regulated, and the financial alfairs of the country up to this time have been so conducted as to maintain the relations of silver with every other form of money ; whereas, a3 Mr. Car- - lidle points out, the free coinage of silver, under existing conditions,: must exclude gold entirely, and could mean nothing but silver monometallism. The imnortanee of this speech is not merely in its definition of the Iviews of thfT Spcretarv of the Treasury, or as a declaration of the financial policy of this administration, for this was clearly un derstood before. Not is it important only as an effort to rally the Democracy of Kentucky to honest Democratis doc trine. Whether this effort succeeded or failed, the battle must ao onj and the advanced Doition which the administra tion has assumed must compel all who seriously mean to sustain the; financial integrity of the nation to rally fcipon that - line. ; I '':' ! Mr. Carlisle has made impossible to any serious mind the pretense of maintam- - ine ' bimetallism" iwith the unlimited coinaee of silver. Those politicians who are attempting to st raddle this vital issue ' with specious talk of international agreement and kindred delusions, are onlv Dlavins into the hands of I the silver . "jobbers and their dupes. The secretary of the treasury has made so clear the con trast between the practical bimetallism (tf a limited coinage of silver usea m con nection with the gold standard, and the . lecral bimetallism,! with tree coinage. which leads inevitably to monometallism, the cheaper coinase driving: out that which has the creater value, that no in telligent man can pretend to misunder stand, or to recognize any middle ground in" the battle for financial integrity. Neic York Tribune, May 21st. . a'Snnnil Monev Candidate , for Gov ernor. T.fxixotok. Kv.. Mav 26. A man close to Lieutenant Governor M. C. Al ford says he will announce himself can didate for Governor as soon as he returns from the Bound Money convention at SlemDhis, where he has one as a aeie tfate from Lexington. As he is a sound money man and both Clay andHardin are for free silver,' Alford's friends think he will not only win the nomination, but that he is the only man wh'o can poll the full Democratic strength.

The New Constitution AdODted Three Departments Formed Rep resentatives of the States Pres entThe Davis Monument. . Subscriptions to the Fund The Next An nual Meeting to " ha in Rich mond. 1 Houston, Texas, May 23 The weather continues inclement with dark grey clouds lowering over the city andj a chilly rawness prevading the atmosphere, but the joy and enthusiasm of the vet erans continues unabated, and when Gein Gordon called the! convention to ordr at 10 o'clock ' this morning the audito rium was again pull to overflowing. The meeting was much more orderly tj day than yesterday, however, and the business of the meeting was conducted J more satisfactorily. Chaplain Gen. J. William Jones invoked divine bles sings on the deliberations of themeei- ing. . - - . ' It was understood that Mrs. Chapman, the . daughter of Gen. Leonidas PolkL was in the audience and the chairman asked that she come to the stage if she were preeent. She did not respond however, and it was announced that she would be expected on the stage w,hen ever she reached the hall. A similar invitation was extended the daughter of uen. u. id. mil and Mrs. J. D. Pea hill. Gen. S. D. constitution, unanimously Lee, j of the committee on reported that they had agreed on a constitution fully accepted the old conn I hey have stitution formulated at Jackson. This constitution continues in force the com mittee on history, which the Birming ham constitution dissolved. The princi pal amendment is to define the duties of officers, and instead of only two depart ments east of the Mississippi and Trans Mississippi there $hall be three depart ments as follows:! the Department of the Army of Virginia, composed of the States of Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina and Kentucky; the De-i partment of, the ! Army of Tennessee,' compased of the States of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi. Louis iana and Florida;1 the Trans-Mississippi Department, composed of all the States and Territories west of the Mississippi except Louisiana. Gen. M. J. Claiborne obiected to the part of the constitution separating Texas info five divisions, saying it was done for political purposes. (jen. Lee explained that the state practically was not arranged differently from other States. These sub-divisions were merely for the sake of .convenience i in a State so large as Texas. There was but one major general (Gen. Ross) for ! the State, the other generals being; merely brevets. I . j (jen. Claiborne renewed his objection, which was followed by a motion to table. A vote was taken and the motion was tabled, defeating the attempt to make : but one division of Texas. ; The constitution was then adopted! amid loud applause. . ! The report of the committee on ere-1 dentials was then read in full. The num ber of delegates was shown to be as f ol-1 lows: Louisiana 176, Tennessee 89, Flor-: ida 36, Alabama 191, Mississippi 123, fexas 654, South Carolina 86, Indian I Territory 15r Missouri 67, Kentucky 67, Arkansas 57, Washington, U. C,. 11, Evansville, Ind., 2, Virginia 64, North Carolina 21, Georgia 76, Maryland 2, Oklahoma 2, West Virginia 2, New fork 1. With some subsequent names the number of voting delegates was 1,602. The report was adopted. The Bpecial order of the morning was the report of the Jefferson Davis Monu ment committee. Chairman cable in troduced Chairman Taylor Ellyson, of the Richmond committee, whose report was made a part of the committee from the United Confederate Veterans. Mr. Ellyeon stated that on June 3 next, Da vis' birthday, a collection for the monu ment would be taken up all over the South and the present prospects were that at the time there would be a gener-J m 1 Jt rt. ous response irom an ine oouinern States. When sufficient funds were raised the corner stone of the monument would be laid in Richmond. It-was thought that this would be done next spring and it was hoped to make it a great occasion. Gen. Cabell then followed in an earn est appeal to the veterans to respond on the appointed day to tne can tor a couec-; tion. ! j In sfcondinar the motion to adopt the report, Chaplain William Jones deliv ered a brief but enjuent address on tne subject, which Mas greeted with loud applause. " Dr. Jones proposed that the roll be called by campa and that each camp would say how much it would raise for the monument. .Before tne call could begin there were several spontaneous offers. K ri. Lee camp, or Kicnmona,! pledged $500, and J. R. Hubbard camp, of Baltimore, only one month old, came to the front with f 100. lien, liordon gave 100 and Gens. Lee and Stewart put down $50 each. The Charleston; camp stated that a movement was now; on foot in that city by which $1,000 would be raised. I The call of the roll was begun, but was! found to be too long, so the camps were required to Bend up the amount they would obligate tnemseiyes to give, ine whole amount, when subsequently footed; up, was round to De $y,04Y. During this interval there was a oursc of applause as several historic old battle nags were brought out. The first was the Cobb s legion colors, borne by Uapt. JohnC. Hill, of Augusta; the second was the flag of the Third Georgia regi ment, borne by R. W. Bagby. The flag which floated over Fort Sumter during all the war was also presented. The Third Louisiana flag was the last of the- Confederate flags. Each was greeted with loud applause and the color hearers invited to seats on the stage. . . Gen. Gordon next displayed the stand ard which waved in the decisive fight of Buena Vista at the head of the Jefferson Davis column. Gen. Gordon paid the Has: an eloquent tribute and evoked a heartv round of cheers. The selection of the place or , tne next reunion was the next and final business in order. Gen. Peyton Wise or Virginia was introduced and in an eleoquent speech which was frequently interrupted with annlause. he nominated Jtucnmona as the place of the next reunion. He Baid the verv snirits of the dead bade the veterans come and be present at tne lavine: of the corner stone of the Davis monument. i Comrade Pickett seconded the nomin tion. Maj. Theodore Barker, Maj. T. Grange Simons and Mr. J. A. Smythe presented Charleston's claims. uen. Ueoree a. Lawse, of.Florida, seconded the nomina tion of Charleston. Gen. Joe Shelby, of Missouri, introduced Mayor Davis, who presented Kansas City's claims, and Gen. Lee introduced Gen. C. A. Evans, who sooke in behalf of Atlanta. Judge L. Calhoun seconded the nomination. It waa arranged that the major-general of each division should cast the vote for f h State, and a recess of half an hour was taken in order that the delegates of the several States might arrange their vote, when the vote was taken the re sult was as follows: Richmond 780; Charleston 444, Atlanta 203. Kansas City 40. The convention then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. From 11 to 1 o'clock there was a parade of all the vet erans of the Texas companies now in en campment here, which will be the event of the week. Eight thousand people assembled at the auditorium to-night to see the sponsors and their maids of honors in their tableaux. ' , ' An elaborate reception was tendered Miss Winnie Davis at the Capitol hotel by Mrs. William Rice, between the hours of 11 and 1& o'clock. Gen. Ross and staff called officially on Gen. Gordon and staff at the Hutchins house. A reception was tendered the visiting generals at the Light Guards armory from 12 until 2 o'clock to-day, and a re ception was tendered the visiting ladies at the Capitol hotel and the Hutchins house by the' ladies reception committee of Houston from 10 to 12 o'clock. The Sun's Cotton Review. New ITobk, May 23. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton declined 6 to 7 points, recovered this arid advance 6 to 7 points and then lost this and fell 5 to 6 points, closing barely steady, with sales of 332,900 bales, making 663,200 bales in two days,-'- Liverpool advanced 1-164 on the spot with sales of 12,000 bales; futures advanced 3 to 4 points and then reacted and closed barely steady at a net advance of 2 to 2i' points. New Orleans advanced 7 to 8 points,- then lost this and declined 2 points. New Orleans receipts to-morrow were estimated at 1,0Q0 bales, against 1,051 last Friday and' 1,240 last year. Spot cotton here was unchanged with no sales. Port receipts were 3,784 bales, against 3,641, this day last week and 5,693, last year, and thus far this week 26,158, against 23,977 thus far last week. The Southern spot markets jwere quiet. Mobile and Baltimore advanced c and Savannah and St. Louis 1-1 6c. In Man chester yarns were firm and tending up ward, and cloths firm, but, business small. Bombay weekly shipments to Great Britainjwere 2,000 bales; total since January 1st, 16,000, against 38,000 last year; shipments to Continent 13,000; total since January 1st, 300,000, against 592,000 last year; receipts 82,000; total since January 1st, 1,078,000, against 1,237,000 last year, afloat 26,000, against 30,000 last year. To-day's features were; 1 Heavy liqui dation of profits here and - in Liverpool caused a reaction, though the decline to day was partly due to some disappoint ment at the failure of Liverpool to show a greater advance. -' Still, on the decline there was very heavy buying, partly for outside account. The crop advices, as a rule, are bullish and the belief is general that the next crop will be much smaller than the" present one. The-Southern spot markets were generally firm. The arrivals at the ports and the interior towns were light. The exports were comparatively large. The dry goods situation was encouraging. Wheat was again very active at advancing prices. The tone at the Stock Exchange was stronger and general business in this country continues to improve, an indication of this improvement being the almost daily announcement of the ad vance in wages by great manufacturing companies in different parts of the country. An advance in pig iron of 50 cents per ton was reported to-day, arid the iron trade is universally regarded as the barometer of business. Cotton has more friends than ever before. Notices of delivery on June contracts, it is stated, cannot be issued until June 20th. The iron Trade. Cleveland, O., May 23 Tho Iron Trade Review says to-day: While the business in iron and steel done on the higher prices of the past fortnight is in significant in comparison with the vast volume of contracts that are being, exe cuted on the low price basis of the first quarter of the year, and every week's transactness testify to the belief of the buyers that the advance is to continue, there is no evidence of a boom effort in any line and for the most part the ad vances represent but little more than added wage and material costs. Support has been given the new prices by a quickened demand for finished materia', and buyers who have waited for a reac tion have seen each new inquiry answered with a higher quotation. It is unfortunate for manufacturers that the extent of the improvement has been so exaggerated, but that seems to - h ave been inevitable. Northern makers of foundry iron have seen their first week of full participation in the upward move ment. The retirement of Southern sell ers from competitive points and the added wage and fuel costs strengthened prices and with advancing quotations came freer covering of wants. . In some instances foundries have paid $1 a ton more than the ; March basis. The advance so far recorded in Bessemer from the ! lower price of the year is $1.75. " Steel billets have sold from $16.50 to $17 in the week. All Western mills are well hlled up to tne middle of the year. ..Western bar mills are perfecting their association through repeated meetings, and at Detroit this week the question or a lurcner advance of prices is under discussion. Pittsburg co-operation in better prices is looked fcr, though the Amalgamated association's effort to unionize iron mills there is thus far only half successful. , Favoring Bimetallism. Philadelphia, May 23 A committee of the Grocers and Importers' Exchange Of this city, which w.as appointed to in quire into the cause of the falling prices 'and if possible to point out remedies to stop it," submitted its report to-day. The report, which is long, concludes: "we recommend tnat suver pe auueu to its companion, gold, as money of final i - j i .MM:uAnuni;nM redemption, tmu juut. uuuiuuiwc uoucra that the chief cause of the disorganized condition of trade- and consequently falling prices will be removed. Consideration of the report was post' poned until next month. A Boycott in the Church. Pittsburg, Pa., 'May !23Presbyterian General Assembly entered upon its sec ond week's session this morning, ine first thing' ot importance among the overtures and answers of the committee was that touching the students at Union serninary. Secretary Lampe. of the com mittee, read the answer, xo tne sur prise of everyone the answer boy cotting the Union students was adopted without aeoate and Dy a rising vote, whereby the assembly! lost the oppor tunity of hearing a hair dozen speecnes prepared for delivery in support' of the resolution.

Lynchbtjeg, Va., May 23 The .elec tion in this city to-day J for members of the city council passed on quietly, mere was no opposition to the regular Dem ocratic ticket, except in the third ward and that cut no figure, ine vote was small.

Twenty Dele gates Congressman Catchinga Chosen Ch air man Enthu siastic Reception of Sec retary Carlisle Hia - Speech Received WithGreat At tention. J . fliEMPHis,' xenn., May , 23 under a banner with the inscription, "Sound Currency and Better Banking Facilities," between 700 and 800 representative men of the Southern States assembled at the auditorium this afternoon j to express their opposition to the doctrine of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and to declare in favor of the continuance of the present monetary conditions. It was essentially a gathering of "solid men," bankers and merchants, farmers and manufacturers, storekeepers and members of professions, allied with in dustrial interestSi It was! especially commented upon that the politicians were conspicuous by their absence ' The delegates began to assemble at the auditorium shortly after 1 o'clock. There were few men of national reputation in the columns that marched up the aisles with military tread, but those that were recognized came in for a hearty greeting. Gen. Thomas C. Cathingst of Mississippi, who has parted with his flowing beard since the adjournment of Congress, was unrecognized at first, but when the assemblage knew him it made the rafters, ring. Others who came in for a true Southern greeting as they appeared at the head of their State delegation were Congressmen Kyle of Missississippi, Clarke of Alabama, Patterson of Tennes see, Lieutenant Governor Alvord of Ken tucky, and Lieutenant Governor Stan- nard of Missouri. When Chairman Crawford, of the local committee ot fifteen, assumed the gavel at 2 o'clock, there were j 620 dele gates on the floor and 1,500 spectators of both sexes in the galleries. I The few words of welcome in behalf of the city were prettily and quickly spoken and permanent organization was then in order. I The Alabama Congressman. Mr. Clarke. was recognized for the . purpose of pre senting the name of the "Little Giant" from Mississippi as permanent chairman, but he availed himself of a call to the platform to lead off the oratorical fire works with a speech that aroused all the energetic enthusiasm of his audience. We are not a forlorn band makin&r a desperate and hopeless fight," said Mr. Clarice, "but we are here to give form and organization and voice to a deep rooted and widely ... spread public opinion that is growing in volume and which is destined to mould the financial policy of this country. We have nothing to fear in the fight that has been forced upon us. The; conserv atism of the American people will not allow its monetary systems to be dragged down to the debased level of Mexico and China. The roar of the silverites is as the roar of a fire fed upon ! chaff that soon -burns itself out and leaves but ashes and smoke. It is but the echo of the fiat moneyites. Standing here as a Southern man, I say that I have firm confidence in the sound sense and in tegrity of that section of the country, in the cotton men and the industry that has made Memphis one of ithe most impor tant cotton markets in the world. We are not the blind followers or tools of any man or set of men, but we are led by a man who has; like no ! other man since Jackson, the confidence of the American people prolonged applause. Why? Because the American people know that their President is honest cheers; tnat he possesses mental. and moral courage more cheering!; that - he is not only a man, but a whole man; that tie has a wisdom that no obloauv can darken." ij Shouts and stamping followed the speaker's retirement from the platform. There was more of the same kind when the motion was put and' Gen. Catchings declared selected as permanent chair man. On being escorted to the chair he gracefully acknowledge: the honor and continued: 1 i No convention has ever assembled in this region for a higher or nobler pur pose, jn ota man has come here to: ad- vance"any personal end or to accomplish any selfish purpose. We come here be lieving that the free and unlimited coin age of silver would be disappointing to its advocates and disastrous to all public and private interests. We are assembled for the purpose of giving this an open church to our faith. All kinds of charges have been made against us. ; We have been charged with seeking the in terest of the monsy lenders. ! Let ua give the lie to that. We have been accused of being in league with Wall street. Let us give the lie to that. Let us go home determined to stand resolutely for sound money, though the world the nesh and the devil be against us. Our views are sanctified by the approval of all the in telligent and intelligence of the country outside of political life. Let us stand by our colors and fight as a man fights who knows he has right on his side, The great heart of the American people always responds to the truthat the proper time, and it is impossible to believe that 67,000,000 of people, com posing the greatest Government on earth, would deliberately cut themselves loose from the civilization of the world and ally themselves with Mexico, China! Ja- pan and people oi tnat sort, i ; 'SpeaMug for myself before this great audience, I say -I stand for Grover Cleveland and 'John G. Carlisle. Pro longed applause. Why should, these men desire to engraft upon the people a policy which is burdensome to them, when tfiese people have given to them with a free hand every honor that has been conferred upon them.!" ; : j The selection of a committee on reso lutions was next in order as follows: John M, Atherton, Kentucky y F. H. Richardson, Georgia; S. C. Cox, Florida; Geo. M. Trenholm, South Carolina; Geo. E. Leighton, Missouri; Josiah Patterson, Tennessee; Richard H. Clarke, Alabama; U. M. Rose, Arkansas; Daniel Miller, Maryland; W. K. Mayo, Virginia. 1 There was no response when the btates of West Virginia and North Carolina were called. I ! Just as the committee had been com pleted the tall f orrri of Secretary Car lisle emerged from the btage, In an in stant delegates and spectators, women and men; were on their I feet and a mighty shout went up. It was succeeded by a yell i yet dear to Southern hearts, and then again with a volley of cheers, with waiving of hats and canes and other accompaniments. The ovation Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report J Jf ( ) V fnTN continued for several moments and was renewed when the Secretary of the Treasury was formally presented, cv. Silence having been jwith difficult re stored, Mr. Carlisle began his speecv he delivery of which occupied precisely e and a half hours. He spoke with i worited energy and made few references to his notes. He was listened to with profound attention, the audience being apyarenuy anxious to grasp and iollow thej trend of his argument and the mass of figures with which it was supported and there were few interruptions of ap- 1 J", A "I . , pruvai uuuu towards tne ciose. men when, with quivering forefinger, he de clared that the hard earned savings of tne poor ought not to be sacrificed to the avarice of the wealthy mine owners or the ambition of aspiring politicians, his nearers iairiy went , wild, and when in his peroration he urged that there could be no prosperity for one section at the expense of the other, but that all must stand or fall together, it looked for a mo ment as though the enthusiastic audience would storm the platform. When the speaker concluded he was given a final ovation and a recess until 8 o clock was at once taken. SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.

The assembly re-convened at 3 :05 o'clock p. m. when the letter of .the 20th inst., of fraternal greeting from the Northern assembly, was read. It was telegraphed from Pittsburg on the day of its date. It was referred to the foreign correspond ence committee, who will report as soon as possible. The secretaries of publication and for eign missions were re-elected. The commission on the case of Rev. Mr. Greer, of the. Western Texas presby tery, who was deposed from the minis try by the presbytery for teaching heret ical doctrines, reported a decision which, stripped of its technicalities, results in the hnal confirmation of the presbytery s sentence.
