A Confederate Home to he Sold.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun says:
'Tn Atlanta Judge Lumpkin has passed
an order for the sale OF the property

federates. which home was to be present.

lions were generous and ample. there
was a division OF sentiment as to whether
Il would be best for the State to under
take its maintenance. 1t was held that
only few OF the old soldiers in Georgia
would care 10 go TO the home. and the
small number would not justify such an
expense as would be necessary to MAIN

SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
A Session of Not Much Public In
terest-DivOrce.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. September 2L-The
closing session Of the second week of
the constitutional convention to-day was
of little public interest, although consid-
cradle work was done In the way OF prac-
tically passing a good many ordinances.
There was some little discussion, but
the session did not last more than an
hour and a half. There were not more
than six spectators in the gallery at any
time during the days session-less than
at any time during the progress or the
convention thus far.
Mrs. Neblett and Miss Clay. the wo-
mans suffrage advocates, were on the
floor OF the convention during the day.
and Senator Tillman was back In his
seat, while Governor Evans took occa-
sion to thank the convention for the
resolution OF confidence in him which
was passed on Thursday, In a brief speech.
There was barely quorum present In
the hall during the session. and things
moved along very interestingly
throughout.
The most important resolution intro
duced during the day was one by Mr..
John J. Mahan. providing that while no
divorces shall be granted In this state,
divorces granted in other States shall
be recognized. The convention is now
ready for real hard work with all the
important reports 1t has before 1t, and
by the middle of next week nearly all
the other committees will have reported.
Up TO this time nearly all the work has
been confined to committee-rooms.
A communication was received during
the day from the general secretary of the
National League for the Protection Of
American Institutions. transmitting a me
mortal which asked the convention TO
incorporate the principles of the organiza-
tlon In South Cardinals Constitution.
This has also been done by the commit
tee.
Among the resolutions unfavorably re-
ported was that prohibiting intermar-
riages between whites and negroes or mu-
latlOes.

RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
Have They Formed an Alliance
Offensive and Defensivef

LONDON. September 1.-THE presence
Of Prince Lobanonr- Rostovsky. Russian
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, at thu French
manoeuvres. and Of the Russion General
Dragomoroff. at the French fetes. with
the latter's toast to Russo-Frsnch fra
ternity on the field OF battle and union in
combat. have combined to produce tho
conviction In England that an offensive
and defensive alliance has finally been
concluded between France and Russia.
The view that General Dragomoroffs ut
terances were merely designed to cajole
the French in supplying Russia with more
money does not appear tenable. His lam
guage amounted TO official declara-
ton OF a firm alliance between the two
countries. and Is SO considered by the
leading London papers. The Daily Tele-
graph holds that England ought no
longer to hesitate about joining the Drei-
bund. The Standard makes a similar
menace. expressing the hope that the
sword OF England will always be enough
TO turn the scale.
