ALTERATIONS IN FoRElGN TARIFFS. -- Several
very Important alterations have recently been made
in foreign tariffs, the principal items Of which are
embraced in the following summary:
The French reductions are the most important, and
Of particular interest to manufacturers Of the British
Islands. The changes apply to thrtysix branches of
production the principal being sugar, TIMBER iron
machinery, skins and agricultural implements With
some wholly unimportant qualifications reduction
has been effected in every instance. In sugar it
amounts to between and 10 per cent, aud molasses
which were prohibited have been rendered free. Some
descriptions Of timber if imported in French vessels
are also set free, and in Others there is reduction
ranging from ISL to "A per cent, according to flag.
In various sorts of iron manufactures the reduction
ranges from 60 to IL per cent. In machinery it
ranges from S5 to IL per cent and in agricultural
implements it averages about 10 per cent
The Austrian reductions are OF equal importance.
They include Cocoa coffee, drugs, sugar, fish, oil,
wine lead iron, linen, WOODEN and cotton yarn and
average twenty-five per cent. The Roman States
have adopted half protective policy but have still
made concessions Of the freedom of trade. In the
case OF steel, copper, lace haberdashery, and some
other articles, they have largely increased the duty.
The reductions include several kinds of linen wooden
and cotton manufactures, glass wood, china, lead,
tn iron, Skins aromatic oils, salted meat, and sev.
eral kinds of chemicals. In many cases the rcduc-
ton is equal to so per cent. The English papers say
this is virtually of little importance, the sum still
levied being high enough to operate prohibition
The Mexican alterations extend over great num-
Der Of goods including cotton linen, silk and Wooen
manufactures, as we'll as ironmongery, cutlery sad
dlery, arms, timber. wines, provisions glass and a
large number OF other articles The dGe5 are still
left high, though the reductions have been consider
able and important
In Peru the changes have been numerous, and in a
majority OF instances, they have consisted of snbstl
tuition OF specie for ad ua'oTm rates. On sheet iron
and saitcd fish there has been increase OF 233 per
cent but several articles have bCen set free. including
many that are used in ship building. In this and
other South American States the prevalence of mono
poles and eNorbtant duties has operated to greatly
restrict trade Every change in that quarter is there
fore nnyiously watched 10y the commercial inches
pccaliy By those Of England, who are always awake
to new opportunities Of tratic.-[Balt. Patriot.

LIVE MEETING ON 'CHANGE.--The dead Banks
meeting on Change is to be followed by lire one
which Ex-Governor Floyd, of Virginia. is to address
on Thursday.
We trust that the Ex-Governor, while defending the
South from the sectional efforts of Mr. Banks-to
show New York had little interest in the South
in its vast productions of cotton, rice and tobacco,
sugar, corn and wheat, naval stores, hemp and
lumber, etc.-will speak national man, address
ing all paltesfOr Americans and Wings freely signed
the call as well as Democrats. We all want d South.
ern answer to this anti-Soutlern TRADE. Why, we
have not ship scarcely, large proportion of which
is not Southern timber. North Carolina gives US tar
and tnrpentine, Missouri and Kentucky give us hemp
We are fed in the spring by the South, from April to
July and August, III fruits vegetables of all sorts etc.
and in July and August, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolna. Tennessee and Georgia wheat comes along.
In the fal we are warmed by Virginia pine, and in
the winter corn comes in vast quantities from North
Carolina and Virginia. Judge our Mr.. Banks statis-
tics Give it to him, Gov. Floyd. We belong to the
South and the South belongs to lis. The New York
E1cAangc-an Exchange of the North and the South,
the East and West--was the very last place for Mr..
Banks to attack the South from.

DEATH oF'A VENERABLE CGT1RES or ALABAMA
We learn from the Huntsville Advocate Of the ID
inst. that Capt. Nicholas Davis, Of Limestone county
died on the Goth ut. 'f..' -
Capt. Davis was born in Hanover county Va. in
l1Sl. In lSl7 he settled at 81 Walnut Grove" ;" Lime
stone county. where he resided until his death.
The Advocate says
He was member of the Convention which framed
our State Constitution he was member of the first
Legislature (the House) of Alabama, which assembled
in Huntsville in 1919 He was sent to the Senate in
lS2l, and was chosen its President Such was his
lmpartiaty, honesty, talents irmness and efficiency,
that he was continued for ten years. As legislator
he was practical. sensible, useful and Influential. He
opposed, with all his ability, orr system of State
banks and had his counsel3 been needed, the State
would not now have debt hanging over her.
In lS29, Capt. Davis was candidate for Congress,
and after spirited contest he was defeated by Gov
Clay His politics. which were Whig of the Henry Clay
school, ever after kept him out of Office. No man. how
ever ever enjoyed more of the love and esteem of his
potca! opponents. He was the idol of his party
friends, who supported him twice for Governor,
against Gov. Gayle and Gov. Chapman. He was d
Wing eector i'll 1910 and 1914. He was capital
stump speaker-earnest, sensible, humorous and at
times eloquent. Those who met him. and the aL!est
men of the opposite politics pitted against him.

FRANKLN's soS.-The Philadelphia Daily Ledger

says:
The Inauguration of the franklin statue at Boston
has been the occasion for revying incidents connected
with the life of the philosopher. His only son, Will
iam was governor of New Jersey at the time of the
declaration OF independence and did what he could
to prevent the legislative assembly of New Jersey
from sanctoning the proceedings of the General Con
gress Of Philadelp phia These efforts, however, did
did but little to stay the tide of popular sentiment in
favor Of resistance to tyranny, and soon involved him
in difficulty. He was deposed, from office by the
wings, to give place to William Livingston, and sent
prisoner to Connecticut, where he remained about
two years in East Windsor, in the house of Captain
Ebeueezer Grant, near where the Theological Semi
nary now stands In IT'S he was exchanged and
soon after went to England. There he spent the re-
mander OF his life, receiving pension from the Brit
ish government for the losses he sustained by his del
ity. He died in 1913, at the age of 50. The
opposition OF the son to the the father espoused
produced an estrangement between them and in
Frankn's will, speaking of his son, he says: The
part he acted against me in the late war, which is of
public notoriety, will account for my leaving him no
more of an estate he endeavored to deprive me Of
