sunday school Convention.

This large and respectable body, which
convened In our city on Friday last, closed
its iabors last evening, after session of three
days, during which the utmost harmony and
unity of feeling prevailed. The result of the
action of the Convention is complete. hav-
ing thoroughly accomplished the object in
view. at the outset, which was the providing
for system of essentially Southern Sunday
School Literature.
The business transacted yesterday was
mostly of character unimportant to the
general reader, and incident to the ending
up of all deliberative bodies. and, therefore.
requires no extended report at our hands

ment of the Sunday School Union was adopt
ed, and plans for the future operations of the
same definitely agreed upon. A sum of
money. exceeding three thousand dollars in
amount. was raised from fees for life-member-
ships. life directorships, and general con-
tributions sources for the-future use of the
Union. as also contribution of about two
hundred dollars for defraying the expenses of
the present Convention. A donation was
made from the funds of the Union toward
completing the work on Cherry street Church,
Nashville. A committee consisting of Messrs.
III. R. Buchanan, j. b. Rutland, A d. Shank
land and II. q. Scovell, was appointed to
procure for the Union charter from the
Legislature. Rev. A. C.. Dayton was reflect
ed president OF the Southern Baptist Sunday
School Union for the ensuing year. After

of the Convention to the reporters of the city

generous hospitality and unremiting atten-
tons bestowed upon its members during their
stay in the city. the body adjourned to meet
at Canton, Miss. on the Friday before the

Atlanta Rolling Will.

We have taken occa.iOn several times. to

thousand dollars. up to the present time. Ii

will consume 45 tons of coal per day. The
present operations at this time, are confined
TO rolling fiat bars preparatory 10 making
Railroad iron. The bars are rolled inches
wide. and one inch thick. These are to be
cut into pieces three feet long. seven of these
are put together, making mass inches

process of rolling Railroad iron will be in full

the grandest enterprises ever inaugurated in
the Southern country. We are informed that

Presidential MOrality-Esing Money
for Elections.


The President has written what appears TO
be a very patriotic and very moral letter.
TO 1.-THE Centenary Anniversary of the cap
ture of Fort Duquesne," at Pittsburg, and
after saving the Union, is customary on
such occasions he launches off into the fol-
lowing lamentation 1--WE never heard, until
within recent period. of the employment of
money to carry elections" M Buchanan
seems to speak knowingly on this point, and
therefore must be credited. His letter has
produced a most agreeable sensation among
the employees of the Government. who have
been habituallv taxed TO do what the Presi-
dent so much deprecates, and as is understood
here by his special direction. They have all
filed away a copy of this letter. so that when
another assessment shall he ordered. such as
was recently levied TO promote the success Of
Mr.. Clancy Jones, the rebukc will he pro-
duced as a Justification for refusal. No form
er Administration so openly aud so auda-
ciously, required compulsory contributions
for electiOneering purposes and the fact is
notorious here that they were authorized d.
reetly by the President Wendell, who is the
confdant in these operations was sent to
Philadelphia and New York. with supplies
thus obtained to aid particular candidates,
and hundreds of witnesses in the Department
could be produced to prove this assertion
from personal knowledge. but for the certainty
of dismissal, which would follow their reve-
latons.

From Washington.

WAsHINGroN, Tuesday, NOV. 80, 1893.
The rumors about the retirement Of Score
tary Cobb from the Cabinet are renewed with
more positiveness than ever.
The Cabinei had long session to-day,
which is said To have been anything hut har-
monioas. Secretary Cobb disagrecing with
the President on the Tariff question. aud
Secretary Thompson insisting on the adop-
ton Of an extreme policy in relation to Mex
lean and Central American alfairs.
L; would not be surprising If the Cabinet
should he broken up and reconstructed.
Public opinion. here still indicates Ersstus
Corning as successor TO Secretary Cobb,
theagh much Of that opinion is probably
manufactured by the feeling Of the railroad

Hon. John =. Crittenden in New
York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Hon. John J..
Crittenden, of Kentucky, was waited upon,
yesterday. by delegation from the Wing
general committee, and presented with adj
dresses from that body and the Ashlanders'
association. Senator Crittenden made in
reply, an eloquent address, declining their re-
quest that he would permit himSelfto be placed
at the head of a national party movement, de-
claring that he was not candidate for the pres
idency, and that he intended, hereafter, to act
not III obedience to any party requirement,
but IN accordance with his own convictions
of the public good. He paid high compli-
ments to the spirit of the old Wing party. and
lamented the political degeneracy of the day,
and trustC the country might vet witness a
return of the tone and temper Of the olden
time. In the course of his remarks he eulo-
gsed the character of Henry Clay, and re-
viewed the course of the present admiuistra-
tions.
