Gov. ALEX. II. STEPHENS, of Georgia,
who had been an invalid for many years,
died at Atlanta at midnight on Satur-
day, in the list year of his age. He
was a member of Congress from 1S4S to
1859, and declined reelection. In the
Presidential contest of 1860 he was an
active supporter of Stephen A. Doug
las, and opposed the secession idea in
case Lincoln was elected. Although in
the State Convention held January 10,
'6l, that adopted the ordinance, Mr..
Stephens, in powerful speech, pointed
out the direful consequences of adopting
such an act, yet, in less than month
after ward, he was chosen by conven
on of delegates from the Southern
States committed to secession, Vice
President of the Southern Confederacy.
1t was after his elevation to this posi-
tion that, in public speech at Savan-
nah, he declared slavery to be the corner
stone of the new government. After
the war, in 1866, he was elected to the
United States Senate, but was not al
lowed to take his seat because his State
had not been restored to the Union. In
1872 he was elected to Congress, where
he remained until his election as Gov
ernor, in 1882. Mr.. stephens life was
au eventful one, and for the most part
his public career was distinguished by
d wise conservatism and moderation.

The Wool Tariff.

The effect of the recent revision of the
wool tariff upon the price of that article
may be better understood by compari-
son of the old rates with those fixed by
the new law. The new law. fixes 4
specific duty and omits entirely the ad
Valorem feature of the former law.
Under the old law the rate on No. l
raw wool, valued at the last port whence
exported at 80 cents or less per pound
was 10 cents per pound and IL per cent
ad valorem; valued at over 32 cents, IL
cents per pound and 10 per cent; on No
wool, valued at 32 cents or less, 10 cts
per pound and 10 per cent; on No. g.
v,Iued at II cents or less, cents per
pound. and valued over 10 cents, 6 cents
per pound. .. -..
Under the new law No. / wool, valued
as above at 80 cents, or less, per pound
the duty is 10 per cent per pound; if
valued exceeding so cents, IL cents pei
pound; No. ?, valued at 80 cents, or less
10 cents per pound; if over 80 cents, II
cents per pound; No. 8, valued at IL cts.
or less. ~ cents per pound; if over Il
cents, cents per pound. Washed wool
is subject to twice and secured wool to
three times the above duty.
1t will be observed that the value of
standards is reduced, which partially
offsets the abolition of the ad valorem
duty, but the new law is, on the whole
in effect reduction of the tariff on wool
of all grades, but it is perhaps SO slight
on the grades of wool that we generally
produce as not to materially affect the
price to the producer. This, at least, is
the opinion of some of the dealers.-O
