BY TELEGRAPH, Tho Alutmitin Convention* MONTGOMERY, September 23.-Tin- Convention ibis day pawed an ordinance dividing tho State into six Congressional districts. Tho Committee on tho S?cession ordinance will report early next TTOek. mmmm-mmm-mmm_ COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE. [FROM OUE OWN conr.KsroNur.NT. ] COI.UMP.IA, Sept. 20. To-<lay Hie llrst and second clauses of the first article <>f the Constitution, as reported by the Committee, were adopted by the Convention, and ?became a portion of tho organic law of this (State. "When the third clause came up for consideration, irllich provides that every judicial district in the State shall bo an election district, except Charles ton, which shall bo divided into two election dis tricts, Mr. ANDREWS moved to amend by dividing Charleston into three election districts, to be known as East Charleston, West Charleston, and "Washington, bi offering tho amendment, he said that he believed that this arrangement was not only just, but would benefit tho State at largo. The arrangement of tho Committee inpurely arbi trary, fixed by no rule of property, wealth, or taxa tion* Charleston, by tho last census, contained over 60,000 population, "and they promise to give tho same repr?sentation to districts (laving one-quar ter, one-sixteenth, one-tenth of lier population. With regard to taxes, sb" pays from 26 to88 per cent. Tli?- principal enterprises in the Stato are started there, and all parts of the State feel her prosperitv. nc, however, left the matter to their sense of Justice and fair dealing. Mr. BOLLING opposed the amendment on the ground of inequality in tho Senate. Gen. MCGOWAN was in favor of giving Charles ion three Senators. Her white population waa, by census, 29,186; Ten thousand whites was a large average in the Stato for a Senator. If wo compare her black population and her taxation with that of other districts, ber claim is still floater. He also said thut it had "been thc effort of his Ufo to break down thc feeling between up and low-coun try. South Carolina is, after all, a small affair. She can only rely on her moral and intellectual ?worth. It is no disgrace to thc country to say that Charleston is superior. True, tho appointment of Senatorial districts is arbitrary; but m making the rule, uomo regard should bo lind to justice. Mr. TILLMAN delivered, on this subject, one of his characteristic Bpcecbes, in which he railed at the low-country, saying that its people sought office with tho pertinacity of thc blood-hound and the cunning of the fox, and opposed the amend ment. Mr. FARROW opposed the amendment on the ground that a compact city did not requiro repre sentation in proportion to her population. Mr. YOUMANS moretl to amend this amendment by inserting clause of tho old Constitution! ?nd in a well considered speech, before a body whose opinions were already Axed, he quoted an up-coun tryraan, Mr. CAIJIOUN, in favor of thc parish sys tem. He said that the Convention was called for a certain purpose, and that tho parish system was not one of tho ?HBUOS of the war. Ho asked the np-country if it was good faith to destroy the com promise of 1808. Will this body, in tho hour of gloom, called on a different basia from any other Convention, destroy tho compromioe? First act of l?gislation of this kind in South Carolina. Mr. Ono said that he would vindicate his re marks of thc other day on the anti-republican form of government of South Carolina. Any sys tem of government not dispensing privileges equal ly is unjust. Objection to parish system was that ?arishes were entitled, for years past, to rcpresen ation to which they were neither entitled bv taxa tion or population. Tho voice of Picken?, in thc Senate, could bo neutralized by the vote of tho small Parish ot St. Thomas and St. Dennis. Even twenty years ago there was a larger population in Pendleton alone thau in all of tho Parishes, ex cept Charleston. For thirty years past bills have been passed by the Hoifsc, ,u,,i defeated in the Senate, to give election of electors to tho people; defeated because thc parishe s would have lost uower in casting the vote. Tho argument brought before the other Con ventions was, that thoy would have no power be yond the Object for which they were called, and thut it w..uld not do in great emergencies to throw an apple of discord. Never can we have an occa sion when action can so appropriately bo taken as now. In reply to the charge of unconstitutionality, he asked what Constitution have wo now in thia ?tate? Our Constitution of 1W?0 has bt en over ruled, and I do not know if we have a Constitution at all. If it were certain that we have, Chancellor INGLIS would hot have felt obliged to introduce an ordinance to retain the Constitution iu force. Wc could not have gotten a two-third vote if the Legislature had been alic n,\ to nieot. The Pre sident says that all of our iion i* void, and ho ha? appointed a temporary Governor, and author ized him to call a Coin ention. We wore assembled through Proclamation of Provisional Oovornor; .without that WO should not have been here. Quoted thc Governor's Proclamation; wanted tho Convention to remodel the Constitution. Does not understand compromise as perpetual: up-country did not get majority jp House until about 1820; changes which have taken pti.ee de mand the plunge; ?300,000,000 property destroyed; relation of negroes is changed; whole Constitution founded on slavery; that being dead, should not Constitution bo remodelled-If oaftro hos been represented as ?lavo undor tho Constitution, what propriety is thore in continuing that now? In reply to Mr. HUOER, ho said had hp,usod tho words unequal and unjust, he, Mr. H./weeM not havo oxcepteci to it. Tho pariahes. aWfcll as? tho rest of the State, had honored him. He had no beling against then), but tho chango ought to bo ade. He know no reason why ' unlagoniBm should exist between the up-country ?nd tho low country. Mr, Hua? folloJBed 'Jo one of his eloquent speeches, thc BkelotOD of which I will send you to morrow. Thu amendment of Mr. ANDKKWS was adopted, and hy tho prcBent third clause of the first articlo of tho Constitution tho parishes havo perished. Peace bc with them. They have exorcised a wholesome influence in the State, and though thc abolition of slavery rendered them no longer ne cessary, still wo must all feel as if we were parting with an old friend, who leaves us forever. COLUMBIA, September 21. Thc ordor of the day was taken up, and tho 4th section of thc first article of tho Constitution was considered. This section reads thus : "Tho boun daries of the several judicial and election districts phall remain as they aro sc~ established." Mr. TILLMAN, who is ono of tho representatives from tho largo District of Edgefiold, moved to amend so as to empower the Legislature, by a mere majori ty vote, to divide a district. After some little de bate, in which Judgo FnoBT, Mr. TILLMAN, Gov. PICKERS and Mr. RION took part, this amendment giving to the Legislature thc power of changing its own organization by a mero majority vote of its own body, was rejected. After tho rejection of this amendment, thc section was passed. Tho fifth section was then taken up, which reads : "The House of Representatives shall con sist of 124 members, to bc apportioned among the several election districts of this State, according to thc number of white inhabitants returned, and tho amount of all taxes raised by the General Assembly, whether direct or iudircct, of whatever species, paid in cash," &c. Mr. SIMONTON" moved to amend the last part of the section, so as to enable East and West Charles ton for the present to jointly elect their represen tatives. This amendment "was agreed to. Mr. JONI?S then moved to amend so as to make the House of Representatives consist of but 100 mem bers, and to mnko population the basis of repr? sentation iu the House, and property in the Sen ate. This amendment was lost. Mr." Onn moved to strike ont, so as to base the representation in the House of Repr?sentatives on population alone. This amendment was also lost. *Ir. DOZIER then moved to strike out the word "white,*' and on the discussion of this amendment the entire day was spent. Tho negro was on the carpel, and, as always has been the case, he caused a great deal of trouble. Mr. BOYCE led oft' the opposition on tho ground-nominally at least-that it opened the door to negro suffrage; but in fact, as it appeared from his speech, because he feared that the low country would have too many representatives. On these words the changes were wrung in evorv possible shape. If the negro were represented would ho not claim a vote, and would not tho Northern radical make the same demand? This is an attempt, sHid Mr. TILLMAN, lo bring back to life tho dead body of the parishes. In vain the argument was urged that while this is the govern ment of the white race, thc negro has ci\U, though not political, rights; that those civil rights ought to be protected; that they did not and could not be expected to carry with them the elective fran chise; that white women and white children formed a part of the basis of representation. They either could not or would not understand the proposition; and at about three o'clock th"e vote was taken, and the amendment rejected by a vote of 57 against 52. The Convention then took a recess until seven o'clock. This question I consider thc one of the gravest importance that the Convention will be called upon to consider. In it is embraced tho system of labor which must prevail in all parts of this State for years to come, and much of our happiness or mis ery, our prosperity or adversity, is dependent on a wise and proper decision. If it were probable that the negro would remain scattered over the entire State, or if it were probable that all parts of tlio State would continue to be inhabited by a race of men familiar with the. character and capacity of the negro, it would bo a matter of small impor tance whether representation was based on entire population or on white population alone. But we are all satisfied that if South Carolina is ever to advance, if she is over to shake from her feet tho dust of the past, the indolent past, and take her position among the progressive peuple of the world, she must be sided in her work by foreign emigration. This emigration, if it comes at ail, and come it probably will, will first seek the heal thier parts of the State, and the negro, unable to stand the competition with the white mau, will be fuossed down towards thc coast, and will seek a lome and bread on our rice and eotton fields. His labor there will, in all probability, be required for years to come; and, to make that labor effective, the negro must form a part of the basis of repre sentation. If he does not-if he is not protected by the white man, who knows and needs him, from him who is inimical to him, and who, being a stranger to him, knowing nothing of his wants and habits, will be able to and will override the opinions of those among whom he lives-tho poor negro will not oidy be destroyed before his time, but also thc prosperity of the State will be de stroyed with hun. Thc whitc man of the planting portion of our Slate must have power enough to cope with the white laborer, or not only will the negro be destroyed, but the State will lose a largo part of her wealth, iu losing a large part of her laboring population. These ueing tho views of your correspondent, ho was rejoiced when a reconsideration of the whole matter was moved this evening; and thc probability is, that unless a change takes place be fore to-morrow, the negro will form, under tho Constitution, a part of the basis of population. Tho Rev. J. P. BOYCE showed me, to-day, a tele gram from the President to him, announcing his pardon, and adding, that "the proceedings of the Convention so far gave him great satisfaction; that he hoped all will be right, and that in less than twelve months tho union of thc States will be completely restored." The Convention proceeds but slowly with its work. Tho members that I have spoken to do not think that it can adjourn before the latter part of next week. I very much doubt if its business will even be finished then. CoLTMniA, September 22. The day has been entirely spent by tho Conven tion in discussing and passing the first nnd a part of tho second articlo of tho Constitution. The members applied themselves steadily to the work from 10 A. M. till 3 P. M., and from 7 P. M. until half-past IC, and the consequence was that a great deal of work was done, hud to-night the h ading members of the Convention are speaking of the probability of an adjournment by Tuesday night. Some of tho members propose, when thc buoiucHs is finished, to adjourn sine die; but others, among whom nro some of the wisest and most conserva tivo members, suggest that it may be necessary jor them to empower the President to call them together again after the meeting of Congress, when they will have been able to see the effect of their present action. I do not clearly seo how the Convention can finish its business at the time indicatod, becauso there is work still ahead. The Bill of Rights lias to bo ?eted on after Execu tive and Judiciary havo received the attention of the body. A scries of resolutions on political ques tions of vital import une,., favorably reported on by the Committeo, rnay provoko discussion. Thc reportB of thc Committee on Amendments general ly, may consumo timo. Tho members, however, are anxious to get homo, live dollrrn a day not holding ont to thom any inducement to remain here, and work may bo done speedily. Tho proceedings of to-day may In) given in a few words. Fnnn sortie caiiBO or other il waa as certained this morning that tb(T opinion of the Convention hart undergone a completo change on tho subject of making all population tho basis of roprowmtation ; and though tho section of tho Constitution hod'been recurred to, for tho pur pose of reconsidering the matter, tho friends of tho movement found it necessary to/have the mo tion to reot.nsklor laid on the table. The decision with regard to the City pf Charles ton Was ohangod. Tho city is alto wot to eteet jhar Senators and jftopresentatives as from ono ?tt trict.. The property qualification has been re moved with regard to a seat in the Senate. Emoh Judicial District ia to biro a Senator, except i raaiaa?o.ta?aai , /l"AiJSTA Charleston, which will have, in addition, two for the city. Foreigners having declared their inten tion to become citizens, ann resided in this State two years after such declaration of intention, are entitled to vote. Tho maximum number of Rep resentatives for any one district is twelve. Taxes must bo levied on valuo of tho property. Tho Governor is to bo elected by tho people, and to Bervo for four years. During tho debate on tho propriety of giving to thc Governor the appoint ment of certain officers, a motion to adjourn was mado and carried. Above you have all of tho information that can be given "on tho subject of the business of to-f}?y. I will make no remark in tho premises. My opin ion waa clear on the point that most of thc changes should bo made, but I did not believe this Con vention to be tho proper body to mako tho neces sary reforms. I thought thal it had certain work to perform which alone it could lawfully do; but as it has gone further, and becauso it had the fewer of a Convention, framed a now organic law, , together with all good citizens, pray for the success of tho work, and Bay God save thc Stute. Facts vg. Theories. "Give me a place to rest my lover on," says Ar chimedes, "and I wUl move the world.'' "(?ive me pure and unadulterated drugs," sayB Medieus, of the olden time, "and I will cure disease." In one sense, both of these learned pundits were the veriest charlatans. They knew tuero was no place to rest their levers on, either to move the world or to cure di seas?'. Mechanism WUH in a backward state, and the medical profession was but another name for sorcery and nil the adjuncts of magic tilters and channa against tho effect of "evil eye," tko. But these latter days have borne unto us some thing more than even superstition ami its crew ever dreamt of in their maddest philosophy. In these days of practical scionoe, what was theory of yesterday is fact to-day, and al! the old time notions become as bubbles in the sun, and burst .and break with every breath we draw. Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and wc will find a resting-place for it to move the world. Let mino ancient Medieus pant and toil no moro for the drugs he so sorely needs, for we have them at our hand, ever ready ta serve them at his beek. Retined in the laboratory of Dr. Maggiel, the finest materials known in the medical profession arc obtainable by any one. His Tilious, Dyspep tic, and Diarrhoea Tills stand unrivaled, and his Salve operates with magic effect upon burns, scalds, and all sores and ulcers of the skin. In fact, wo think Maggiel's Tills and Salve are the wonder of this century, and we aro happy in the thought that many others of our brethren of the craft agree with us. Wo would earnestly counsel that all families provide themselves with Dr. Maggiel's Preparations ut once, and keep them ready al hand, so as to use them at tho most op portune time and as occasion serves.- Valley Sen tinel EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, S.
