President Walsh introduced Secretary-Smith as a man of pre-eminent ability i and declared that "His administration will compare most favorably with that of any man. who has ever filled that position, I care not how great -bis 'ability may have been." tt Was the first occasion that an Augusta audience had of greeting Secretary-Smith though he is a Georgian, but -they made up for It in giving him a great ovation. He touched on the financial policy of the administration briefly and these references were greeted with significant and hearty applause.

The party then went Into the city and were escorted through densely crowded streets to the Exposition by a long column of Infantry aud cavalry. After making a tour of the Exposition they entered Music Hall where the formal reception took place.

As the statesmen mounted the stage, there was a scene not un-lika. that in a National Convention when som prominent man rises to speak Or; tfle name of a favorite candidate is mentioned. People rose from their seats, handkerchiefs were waved and i men, shouted themselves hoarse. It was an ovation as is seldom given to any man. President Walslr-delivered the ad.

For we cannot forget that whatever tends to the der velopment- and upbuilding of one State of our section tends in an equal degree to the prosperity and glory of our common country. We cannot foreet that whether Georgians or Illinoislans. whether our lot has been cast on th banks of the St. John or the Columbia, we are Americans, all having one history, one country and one destiny.

Needham said that In answer to a general question as to whether It would be proper for the government to control and operate uT! the railroads of the country, he had said that ilia government had an opportunity for an experiment on this line by taking possession of the Union Pacific for its Indebtedness, and that it had a precedent for so doing, l.i the ownership and operation of railroads by Austra.i-i.

He had not advocated that the government should own and operate all the railroads of the country. A discussion followed of the relative values of lands In various sections of the country for farming purposes. Verv little was done at tonight's session; Hon. J. H.

It Is the question, he said, of State rights and State sovereignty as, against the above, the power of the United States. Shallthe elections of Senators and Representatives In Congress be subject alike to the frauds and outrage of the judical ruffians and ward bullies? Shall the mandate of a corrupt Judge, the ordet of a Mayaard.

determine the complexion of a Legislature which elects a Senator to this body? Shall the brawn and muscle of a MoKahe, in defiance of courts and laws, control next year the 1 election of a Representative in Congress, and Congress have no power by law to protect the integrity of its own membership? In othet words, is there no power in the hands of Congress by which It may maintain In a degree the integrity aim y-f-j nt its own membership. or must it ever be subject to the frauds mmtne which State, laws have foiiprl tn nrevent? As a Republican, would much rather have such a system of law meant and Intended solely for the proper protection of the honest and legitimate voter, even if every official agency for their enforcement shall -be of the Democratic party. I have not lost faith in American citizenship so. to believe that the sworn officers of any political party will persistently Ignore the requirements- of wise and Just elecr tion laws. Better such a system, -by whom ever administered, than to be without laws and without hindrance to the criminal acts of, the vicious and depraved class.

"Whether the statement is exactly true or was as far as Mr. Cullom got in reply, when Mr. Hill exclaimed: "It is neither exactly true, nor substantially true."

12. The National Farmers' Congress began Its annual session here at noon to-day. Very few delegates have arrived, and when the congress assembled less than fifty were present. President Smith of Kansas, Is absent, and Vice-President D. P.

Purse presided. Hon. P. W. Meldrlm of Savannah', on behalf of the Governor of Georgia, welcomed the delegates to the State.

Judge B. Rounds of Maine responded to the welcome. The addresses of welcome on behalf of the State Agricultural Society was made by J. T. i tnoa Wade of Georgia in the absence of Pres- ident Waddell.

Hon. Daniel Needham, President of the New England Agricultural Society, responded to the welcome by the agriculturists. In his address. Colonel Needham touched upon various matters, one of which was the educational question. rne great underlying principle of agri- culture is knowledge is the public school.

The great underlying principle of civilization is universal education. It Is the individuality of our people that maintains the civilizaton of American government. They talk about restless people. We are restless, and through that spirit we have been able to populate and dominate this country. It is the restlessness of this people that has given us all our enterprise.

It is this that has given them better homes! better schools and better opportunities than their fathers had. Colonel Needham spoke of the fact that lUt agriculturist is a person who never accepted a free pass from a 111- road. He said all they wanted from a railroad was the lowest fares and rates they could give consistent with a. fair profit for the owner and a chance to call on them for damage in cases of necessity. The Mayor of Savannah welcomed the delegates to the city.

Hon. B. F. Clay--tony Secretary of the Congress, in his response, outlined the work before It: "We have met here to discuss, as best we can, agricultural questions," he said. "We do not want to ask from Congress any class legislation, but we do want such legislation as we need, and such as will benefit us.

We are here for work, and we intend to do it. The roll of the States was then called, and the following States were found to have delegates in attendance: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts. Michigan, Mississippi, Kansas, NebrasKa. North Carolina, South Carolina. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

Secretary Clayton moved that all the delegates on the lists sent on by the Governors of the different States, and also those holding proxies, be entitled to Beats in order to fill out the lists from some' of the State if there were any such persons or delegates present. The motion was carried. Vice-President Purse then announced the committees of the convention as flblows: Committee on Resolutions H. D. Lane, Alabama; E.

Previous to the appointment of the uummittees tnose state delegations with mure representatives conferred and elected their chairman and other representatives. A number of States are represented by proxy.

The cold weath- me est, nara times and the grin are causes of the small attendance on the congress. The first business taken up by the Congress this afternoon were the resolutions. Resolutions approving of improved water ways and of free mail delivery were referred to the Committee on Resolutions. Also a resolution upon business association by farmers for mutual interest by President Clue of the Lake City (Florida) Agricultural Institute. A.

resolution as to the relations of farmers and railroads was offered by G. W. Slaughter of Tennessee, deprecating the disposition in Tennessee manifested by farmers to antagonize railroads and to encourage legislation Intended to hamper and restrict railroads in their operations. The first address before the Congress was delivered by Col. Daniel Needham of Boston.

upon the "Inter-Dependence of Business Relations Between the States." General Burkitt of Mississippi, who was to have delivered an address upon the subject of "The Agricultural Smith and West was too ill to leave his room. General Burkltt's address was read by Prof. Sauls of Mississippi. The first portion of the address was confined to discussion of the agricul tural conditions of the South. Owing.

he said, to low prices, demoralization of labor and bad seasons the farmara of the South were not to-dav In as prosperous condition as might be desired. However. General BiirklH in his address, his section had hart Vls naa. na? fiSt ana naa The address took somewhat of a po- mrctu mm wnen uenerai xlurKltt turn ed on the silver question, and declared that President Cleveland had destroyed the Democratic party, and that the Chicago platform was a mere dodge, and was so Intended at Its adoption. He appealed to the great West to Join with the South in resisting the great money power of the East He urged that they combine their forces to secure the re-monetization of silver, and a change of financial conditions that would result.

In improvement of the condi tion of the. agricultural sections of the General Burkltt's address created some amusement hV discussion of to 4draaaot was fying the zeal of Georgians In the national neveiopmem oi tne oiate anu also of- presenting the resources of the State to the knowledge of the people of- the Union. He referred to the conditions which existed in the South prior to I860 as one calculated to prevent material progress although It produced a high order of mental and moral civilization. He showed what change of Southern labor and the fincn- cial shock of the war had produced until 1880. Since that time results had been most gratifying.

The taxable property of Georgia in 1880 was while in 1893 it was $450,000,000. He called attention to the fact that the opportunity was the present in Georgia for every variety of agricultural products. In the Piedmont region the elevation was sp great that the agricultural, pursuits the gieat New- England States could' there, be followed with great remuneration, while the gradual change from this north-era sectlou of the State to. the Southern portion bordering upon Florida, gave ODDortunlty ror varieties. reaching even semltropicaL, products- and yet this land can be purcnasea at from 4 to $10 an acre.

He then called attention to the fact that the, lumper and marble and every variety of, min eral could be found in limitless, quan tities within the State or ueprgia; then called attention to the coal and water powers as offering inducements, for manufacturing. He held to his statement" as to an op- portunity for investing in manufactures by reference to the city oi Augusta- xn Aiurusta. he stated, in 188 there- were only 24,000 spindles in her Cotton fac tories, consuming but 12.000 pales of cotton per annum, while in 1S92-there were 160,000 spindles, consuming su.uuu bales. But the feature of the greatest interest connected, with the cotton fac tories of Augusta, upon which he dwelt, was the fact that during the past sum mer not a factory discharged a single hand, not a factory stopped a single spindle, arid every factory paid an an- siiiial dividend. He then dwelt upon the duty of the people, of Georgia to pre- isent to the attention of the people of the world their varied resources.

He referred to the recent repeal of the cla1use ff the Sherman act tne people of Georgia, and extolled the courage and patriotism of the President insisting upon the unconditional pre sage of the bill. He spoke of the labor the Southland denied that any race promem existea. He urged that the people remain true to the motto of the State, to "Wisdom. Justice and Moderation," both In the selection of their leaders and in passage of all legislation. He warned his hearers against those who sought political preferment discrediting the Dresent nrnanprn, condition of the State, and closed with the statement that DrosDeritv won by the hand or tongue of a Afcs-simist, Congressman Springer was given an intensely hearty welcome.

He did not attempt to make a speech; but, in re-rF t0 Augusta mills shipping goods China, he said that it meant that the South was going beyond the confines of the United States and supplying a country where labor is the cheapest In the world. Before the century closes the uiwuuia ui me united states will be seeking the markets of the world, and England, which Is now enjoying the supremacy of the sea and i JVUJ Into every country, will be second, and the United States will move to the front and feed and clothe the world. Congressman Sperry's reception was particularly gratifying and hearty. His reference to Georgia's rich resources, and to Mr. Cleveland's financial policy, were always the occasion of long and loud applause.

He was very happy in speech, and will always be a favorite with Georgia audiences. ON THE WRONG Trala Robbers Remain In Hiding In Town While the Officer Scour ithe. Country for Them. Austin, Dec. 12.

Powers of Vermont, prohibiting polygamous mariae'e forever. Mr. Harter, of Ohio, opposed the bill on. the ground that it gave a sparsely settled Westtirn Territory too much influence in the Senate. The general Impression seemed to be that his rear object was to prevent the election of two more free coinage Democrats to the Senate.

The debate will conclude to-morrow. As moat of the Republicans have withdrawn their opposition to the bill, is expected that it will pass by an overwhelming majority. During the morning hour, Mr. Meyer from the commititee on Naval Affairs, r-aJIed ud the joint resolution. for the appointment of a joint commission to consider the rank, pay and other questions relating to tine personnel of ch navy Mr.

Kllgore cotinuefl the obstructive programe of last week, demanding tellers on the motion to go into Committee of the whole. Mr Mever stated that there seemed to be much misinformation about the anrmA arid nnmnafe nt this resolution to straighten out theconfliot existing between the staff and line officers of the navy. The measure was discussed by Messrs. Kilgore of Texas, Cum-mlngs of New York, and Everett of Massachusetts. Before any decision was reached the morning hour expired and the bill went over.

The House then resolved Itself into committee of the whole for the con sideration of the bill for the admission of Utah. Mr. Kllgore, who opened the debate in advocacy of the bill, ex plained the provisions of the bill." The principal division among the irienas oi Utah, he said, was on the question of polygamy. Another point upon which tnere was divisions was as to land concessions. The pending bill contained the usual provisions regard ing religion and it granted to the Ter ritory twice as much laud as has been heretofore given to the Territories upon their admission to the Unfon.

While Utah has the requisite population and resources for statehood tnere was dis agreement on this point.
