The Mayor and Council ot that city aay that when paper from Cincinnati or Kamchatka, as the case may be, gets to the corporation lines, the Age must pay the maker seven cents, in addition to what has already been paid, for the privilege of bringing it into the city. The city pockets the tax and the Age howls. A u. ill starts inside the city limits, and charges a double price. Tbejsae pays it and just ifies the imposition.

The city gets no dividend, but the millownercheckson the Age for the additional seven cents, and pockets it. But, says our esteemed contemporary, an abolition ot duty on blankets would reduce the price of wool. What a Idessing on fifty millions of people that would be. It would also reduce the price of cotton, says the Age. How? In the name ot nt- teen millions of cotton producers, now pining tor cheap blankets, tell us how.

To console nine hundred and ninety. nine thousandths of the people for paying to the outlier thousandth several minions of extra dollars for blankets, the Age pro poses to give them free whisky.

Register: Several weeks ago, a white man named Frank Lewis, stole a horse from a gentleman named Pendarvis, at Grand Bay, and made his -way op into Clarke county, where he tried to sell the animal. He.

was arrested, brought to Mobile, and, while on his way to the jail under the escort of Deputy Sheriff Bass, slipped one of his handcuffs, just as he was at the corner of Bayou- street and Spring Hill avenue, and made his escape. Sheriff Burke immediately sent men after him, and offered a personal reward of $100 for his Information was had that Lewis would probably attempt to revisit Grand Bay, where his wife was, and watch was set for. him there. He was tracked in Grand Bay, and was followed to. Jackson county, Mississippi, by John Tew and Henry Baker, who captured him and brought him safely to Mobile, where he was brought before Judge McCarron, of the Inferior Criminal Court, and committed to jail in default of a bond of 1,000.

Sheriff Burke deserves credit for the energy and personal expense incurred in the capture of this man, who had so terrorized his neighbors that they dared not appear against him. SiT. SLAIB COUNTY.

The following are the particulars of the bank robbery at Brookfield, Missouri, yes- terdav: Six armed men rode into the terday: Six armed men rode into the town of Brookfield, just as the bank was closing for the day, dismounted, and covering the clerks with their revolvers, robbed the sate ot about 5,000. They kept up a rapid fusilade with their fire arms as they rode through the place, overawing townspeople. The men were all masked. The county Sheriff and Marshal organized a posse as speedily as possible and started after the rubbers. Dick Little, ex-Marshal Teggett, and other in this city, wno are tamuiar with the James gang, think that Frank James was not connected with this affair, although they admit that the job was done up in James gang style.

It is claimed that Frank is not in the neighborhood. There is plenty of tall timber near Brookfield, and it is not thought likely that the gang will be captured. A dispatch from St. Joseph says that a party of men have been st pping on the Harper farm, five miles southeast of Kirks- ville, near Brookfield, fcr the past three weeks. They kept their revolvers on all the time.

Nobody kuew them. Several horses were stolen there on Saturday night. Shooting Affray. San Francisco. June 8.

and 3d streets nere tnis morning, about the method ol conducting operations in the mine. Tavlor drew his pistol and fired three shots at Peterson, all taking I deadly effect, lie then nred, but without effect, at a bystander who attempted to disarm him, and running off a few steps, deliberately shot himself in the breast. Peters'm died in a few miuutes and Tay lor is mortally wounded. Some mystery attached to the affair, the men having been, up to the moment of the quarrel, apparently on most friendly terms. An article in the New York Tribune siiys that the oleander is such a deadly poison that a horse which had eaten a huch of leaves died in a short time.

Persons picking and eat ing the blossoms have also died from the effects. "The branches divested of bark and used as skewers have poisoned the meat toasted on them, and killed seven out of the twelve persons who partook ot it."

F. Johnston, Chairman of the State Executive Commits tee, and a very appropriate and Impressive prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. H. String-fellow, of this city.

Col. Johnston said it was his duty and pleasure to name the Chairman to preside over the proceedings until a permanent organization is perfected. Bffore doing so he congratulated the convention that the officers to administer the affairs ot'tlu-State for the next two years were to be si lectedby so intelligent and patriotic a body of men. The candidates selected will not only be elected, but ought to be elected. The substantial and intelligent men of the country ought to name those who are to govern them.

The delegates had not assembled to -vote for this or that one from considerations of a personal nature, or tor something that he had done in the past, but should look sole ly with reference to his peculiar qualifies -firms' "and fitness. Much has been said about the cls'ms of South and of North Alabama, but he deprecated any sectional feeling on this occasion. He wanted it to be made known in thunder toues that this State was not divided into three sections, or four, but that it was one aud indivisible! He craved indulgence to matte a personal lie had announced to the State Committee his determination tore tire from the Dosition of its Chairman. He had served as a member-for twelve years, but the Dressing and imperative demand of private business urged him to this con c'nsion. Col.

Johnston's speech was appropriate as it was and his utterances vm nften Greeted with general applause TT then introduced as temporary Chair -man of the Convention the Hon. Samuel Til r-k well, of Morzan. whom he charac terized as "one of the game cocks of North Alabama." (Loud applause.) Mr Rlnrk well on taking the chair thanked the convention for the unexpected honor conferred. He briefly reviewed trie pnn ciples and purposes of the three different parties of the country. The Republicans were aiming at a consolidated government and a centralization of its powers: the Oreenbackera were tending to commun ism while we occupied a happy medium between them.

Mr. Black well proceeded at considerable length, and concluded nis eloquent speecn which was frequently applauded, by in voking the utmost harmony in the deliberations, which should be directed with a patriotic repaid for the highest welfare of the State, -tie tnen aeciarea tne conven tion ready for business.

Tne Advertiser having already re port 1 a listen delegates in tne proceed ings of the different county conventions received, it is deemed unnecessary to re print them here. I Mr. Feagin, ot Bullock, offered a resolution authorizing the chair to appoint a committee of two from each Congressional District and three from the State at large to consider and report on the claims of anv county for an increase ot its represen tation, and that -all applications for such increase shall be presented to the convention. Mr.

Jones, of Wilcox, moved to make the committee on credentials and that on the ratio of representation one and the same. Mr. Barbour, offered sbsttute Tor the resolution of Mr. Feagin as follows: Resolved, That a committee of two from each Congressional District and three from the State at large be appointed to recommend to the convention a basis of repre sentation for the vote of the counties in this convention, and that the same com- miltiu, Annnt niuui 1, nMilantiolD nP tl.n delegates. -v-- Alter some discussion, Mr.

Wilson then' made a motion, which was adopted, that the Chair appoint a committee on credentials to consist of two from each Congressional District and three from the State at large. Col. J. Johnston was opposed to the convention tearing down the rules estab Jished by the Executive Committee. The general good should be the paramount consideration, hut where there is a strong equity, in any case, that county ought to be entitled to full representation in this family jratherineJe uuy considers- i uf iSocrats were assembled to gether be favored the full increase.

He then offered the following resolution Resolved, That the claim of any county for an increase of its representation be re- ferred to the committee on credentials. Mr. Wilson moved to table this resolu tion which was lost. Mr. of Chambers, spoke earnestly in favor of the increased represen tation of Bullock and other counties.

It was no want of interest in the result that kept them from the polls. They were tried and true and he was unwilling that the 1,800 or 2,000 Democrats of Bullock and Macon should not be fairly represented. The resolution offered by Col. Johnston was then adopted.

I he convention then adjourned sine die. The Advertiser is greatly indebted to all. the officers ol the convention tor cour tcsies extended, especially to the very effi cient and obliging Secretary, Hon. Jas 1. Wright, and his accommodating as sistants.

In the list of officers selected under the temporary organization yesterday, the name ot Mr. U. Li. Sayre, ot this city, as Sergeant-at-Arms, was inadvertently omitted. The Ticket.

With one and all the nominees of the convention the Democratic party of Alabama has reason to be well satisfied. Mr. Ellis Phelan, of Birmingham, the nominee for Secretary of State, is widely known as having been for a number of years Clerk ot the House of Representatives. In that position he has done good service, and his ability to fill the higher office to which he will be elected, is un Questioned. Capt.

I. H. Vincent, Chambers county, has already filled the office of Treasurer for two terms, and his nomination is a sufficient testimony of the appreciation in which his services are held by his party and people. Col. H.

Tompkins, of Montgomery, was nominated for the Attorney Generalship, an office which he has held with distinguished ability for four years. The State is not yet ready to dispense with liis faithful work. Hon. J. M.

Carmichael, of Dale, who has filled the office of State Auditor for one term, was endorsed by a renomina-tion. Mr. Carmichael is 'eminently fitted for the office, and a better man could not have been chosen. Col. H.

Arms strong, of Macon, has for two years con ducted without fault the office of Super-tendent of Education, and his nomination for a second term will meet the universal approbation of the people. Gen. O'Neal, of Lauderdale, who heads the ticket, is a man to arouse the enthusiasm of the whole State. The ticket is unexceptionable. With the exception of the candidates for Gov ernor and Secretary ol State, they have been tested by experience.

The Demo. crats ot Alabama will rally to their sup. port, and an overwhelming majority is a certainty. Edward Asbury O'Neal. In the year 1818, in the county of Madi son, in the territory of Alabama, General O'Neal was born.

Ere his baby lips had learned to syllable her name, Alabama had become a State. He saw her in her swad dling clothes. He saw her inarch to the fullness of her prime. He saw her rich and prosperous and great, and he saw her wearing the sable garments of grief, bowed under the weight of coaquest. wuh hergrowth he grew Each return ing year-wdednew strength to his manhood and deeneu4hjs holdupon the popular heart.

Some men reach trwiciain pjint and then go backward or stand stil In his long career, there has been no back ward curve or place for pause. He has advanced with advancing years, and is to day greater in himself and greater with his people than when he led their hosts on the plains at Richmond. A gallant soldier he is a faithful citizen. A leader in war he is a leader in peace. When defeat was followed by oppression, the people had no need to call for him.

No one ever asked "Where stands Gen. O'Neal in this matter?" At the head he took his place by birthright, and while others straddled the pivot and watched to see the balance turn, he tugged to turn it in his people's lavor. A man he is whom Alabamians can love and trust, and when he shall have filled out his term of service, his record will be as spotless as now. As the chief con servator of their rights and promoter of their interests, the people have in him all to hope, nothing to fear. uen.

O'JNeal has not been a seeker tor office. In 1841 he was elected solicitor of his circuit. In 1875 he was a member of the Constitutional Convention and in 1880 one of the Hancock electors from the State at large. Such have been bis civic honors. His civic deeds of service are better known than his rewards, and a bet ter record than this no man can write for himself.

Gen. O'Neal will be elected. Upon his whitened head the high honor of the governorship ot Alabama wilt tall with peculiar grace. Through the sixty-four vears that have silvered his locks, he has Deen a true and useful citizen, and has done no act he would be unwilling for the people to know. As a lawyer, as a sol-dier, as a politician and as a citizen, with nothing to regret in all his past, he stands oeiore nis party, its chosen candidate for nis B'ate's nighest office.

His borne is by the Tennessee. ills strength in the con vention came from and in his nomination there is no taint of sectionalism. ail parts ot tne state, sectionalism. His competitors were good men and true. Had either been the choice of the convention, his support would have been no less cordial and hearty, ard we are giaa to state that atter the close battle waged for the nomination, no touch of bitterness is left behind.

In the support of Gen. O'Neal, the Democratic party win oe a unit, ana me Dossimntv ot ae feat the mere dream oi miscreants and laiers. Free Whiskey and High Cotton We like the Iron Age, of Birmingham, because it is sincere. Newspapers are not credulous without being in earnest. In a recent comment on a tariff idyl In the Age, the Advertiser said But for the present rate of duty charged on blankets, several millions of dollars on that one item of household necessity would have been saved to the oeonle of the nitea states last year, it the a uestion snouta oe put: onau the tax on whiskey and tobacco be taken off and that on blankets and sugar remain, not many in Alabama woula Hesitate to say, give us Diansets tree ot tax.

To which the Age makes the following unexpected response: "Yes; but the several million dollars would never have fallen into the hands of producers of wool and cotton, who. under protective tariff have found sale for this prodnct. Sugar planters, cotton planters, wool growers and shoe makers are all entitled to and do receive encouragement for their industries by a protective policy. If the people of Alabama the farmers if you please nave not enough foresight about tnem to see tnat au auoiition ot duty on imported blankets would reduce the prices of cotton and wool, they are worse deceived by the free trade song than we can believe they are." We dislike to do so, but in ltis'icc to the Age, we are bound to doubt that the a'vove paragraph is an original proposi tion. Coming from so intelligent a paper, bears every impress of having been caught sccoua hand, anu na' without taking thought ot its real "leaning, mere is a lax laiu on mantlets.

Consumers pay out several millions of dol- lore nf this Im- llm An In.tiflu. the tax, and the extra cost of several mil- lions of dollars, because it goes into the pockets of the wool growers. Abolish the tax, and the said wool growers would not have been paid the several millions of dollars- If, without the tax, we could get wool from Spain at 10 cents a pound, and with the tax we must neighbor cents, it is very that our neighbor has received 10 cents a pound on his wool, of which an abolition of the tax would deprive him. This is a very good thing for neighbor, beyond a doubt. I I I is is in in V-vyuiJ UK.

O'Neal returned his profound thanks for the distiuguished honor con ferred. He paid an eloquent tribute to the Democratic party, on whose success de pended our free institutions. With its death they will die. But he did not think it was an occasion to make speech, lie could give no better pledge of his inten tion to endeavor to merit the confidence reposed in him than his past record, attested by a devotion of thirty years to the best interests of the State. He could find no words to voice his grateful recollection of the kindness of friends when a poor boy struggling for a place among men to the noble body of men with whom he had shared the privations and dangers of camp and the battlefield.and to all the great family of the Democracy everywhere in the State.

With kindness to all aud malice to wards none, he would know no. section in administeriug the affairs ol the blale. Gen. O'Neal's speech was as eloquent as it was patriotic, and he concluded amidst n-i-eat annlauseand enthusiasm. Col.

McKleroy, in response to loud calls, rose in his neat, and made a speech that was filled from beginning to end with the truest patriotism. He made a deep lin pression on the Convention which will not be forgotten. His deteat was grace- full accented and his assurance ot aca ui- escence in that defeat and his pledge of heartv sunnort of the ticket was both elo. anent and sincere. He closed amidst great and continuous applause.
