At a meeting of the Committee after the adjournment of the convention, Captain Joseph F. Johnston of Dallas was selected as chairman and Hon. Tennent Lomax of Montgomery as secretary.
 Speaking of the convention and It's work The Advertiser on the day after the final adjournment of the body, said that Tit was probably the largest State Convention that ever assembled in Ala bama, and certainly a more orderly body, notwithstanding its dimensions, was never known In the history of the State. From first to last, the utmost good feeling prevailed.
 The ticket presented by it to the people, is now the ticket of the Demo- cratic and Conservative Party. What ever differences of opinion may have existed in the minds of some, those differences must now give place to that noble spirit of magnanimity which turns with the sternness and prompt ness of lofty. patriotism from all selfish suggestion, and which will not suffer for moment the slightest show of factionus opposition. Now; as here- tofore,>the political heroism of Demo- cratic conservatism will soar above all selfishness, and will set its solemn seal against any antagonism that would venture to defy the action of the ma tority.
 This much none will gainsay, no men ever labored more arduously and indus triously than the present Supreme Court Justices, and no men of their labor and learning have added more lustre to the bench of Alabama. Of the gentlemen selected for the different State offices

HEIR TO ITALIAN THRONE.
The People Approve of Ills Title
 "PrInce of Piedmont"


 Rome. Sert 16,-The majority of the people approve the action of King Victor Emanuel in not choosing the title of Prince of Rome for the heir to the throne. born last night. as it would have mixed the royal family in a party struggle and would have embittered the conflict between church and state at a time when the Pope seems to be leaning towards moderation. It Is be- lieved that the title chosen. that of Prince of Piedmont. will become fixed for all time for the Italian crown prince as is the title of Prince of Wales In England.
 To celebrate the birth of the heir, the king has granted amnesty to all de. sert4rs and has also shortened by six months the terms of Imprisonment for certain crimes.
 King Victor Emmanuel has received the warmest congratulations through. out the kingdom, and also cordial dis. matches from Emperor Nicholas, Empe. TOT William. President Loubet, King Edward and Emperor Francis Joseph. The Queen of Roumania sent Queen Helena A poem on the event.
 The infant prince will be baptized by Cardinal Richelmy. Archbishop of Tu- rtn and will be christened Humbert.
