OSSTLBHSS or TDK COXTKMTIOX : I thank you for the honor oonferred upon me. I am glad to see around me so many of the good men and true, to whom South Carolina in her better days was glad to confide her honor, and who are now as faithful as they ever hnvo been. My only regret is, that the occasion is not more happy and pleasant. Torehuke corruption in high places, and to be obliged to take measures te save ourselves from irretrievable ruin, is a duty by no moans pleasant. As it baa been placed upon us, let us discharge it manfully and with fidelity. The fundamental law of the State and the United States secures to tba people tbo right to assemble peaceably, and to seek by all lawful means redress for thsir grievances. We aro assembled in such a manner and for aurb a purpose. It is admitted by fair-minded men of all parties that there are great publio grievances, and that by their presonce, there has been called Into exis'cnco each a Convention as tbis?a Conven. tion unprecedented in all tbo btstory or tijo State? a ConTontion to secure to ourselves a proper share in representative government.? We hare no legislative power ; we are simply an advisory body ; bat wo can inquire and in* estigate ; we can collect and embody investigation ; we can recommend to the people, who have conferred upon us this trust, such measure as we deem necessary for their socurity in the future. Let there be fairm s and justice. If we "nothing extenuate," let us set down naught in malice. The first great wrong is the increase in the putdic debt?an extraordinary increase, as is admitted on all bunds. The people of the Stato are entitled to know and must know the amount of that debt. Tbey must know- the aetualas well as the oontingont liability of the State of South Carolina. That the application of the public money have been extravagant, wild and profligate, admit o! no doubt, it is without question and, perhaps, never in tbo history of a people was there an instance where this recklessness and profligacy was more shamelessly apparent. Corruption vaunts i?self in the light of day, aud assumes to itself the garb of honesty. If these things are not checked and robufied, tbey will result not ooly in demoralisation, but in bankruptcy and ruin. The credit of the Sate is dearer to none tban it is to us. It has been our traditional policy to keep and hold the public credit, not only unquestioned, but unsuspected. Wo mean not repudiation, but wo do mean openly and in tbo moat solemn manner, to give notice that the public credit of South Carolina bus been strained' to the most extreme point, and that whatever obligations flnancierr take, they must tuke tnem at their own peril. Let me admonish you to be prndent and wise ; to avoid party politics. For every fair minded man who is willing to put bis seal of disapproval on corruption, or is willing to go with us in correcting abuses, we have a welcoming hand. Those men are our friends, and should be welcomed to our ranks. The late war loft this people almost itnpoverisbed. Upon the issue ot the war, one of the most valuable species of property?more than one-half of what was left to the people?was trickco out at a blow. Nevor were there a people on the face of tbo oarlb who wcro nioro untitled to sympathy than the people ol South Garoliua. *n the name of the people, tnuob abused, almost ruined, I call upon you to bring to your aid your noblest efforts at this time.

Oieenfield offered the follow* ing. which was referred to the Executive Committee : Wuereae, a joint committee of the Sen ate and llott** of Itepreseniative? had been appointed for the put pose ot invert** gating IrreguJnrlliai It a esrtain commit!e* ppolnt'if to take I-alimony in itKud to the election In the Thiol Congressional District in 1863 ; and where*# k ie believed that a larger amount hit been drawn from the Treasury than has been properly asoouuted for; tbnefore, littolved, That th? Kxseutivs Commit toe be instructed to itqiire into th* matter, with a view of determining what aetioa, if any, should he taken in the matter. The Committee to whom was referred the question of the expendieney of the cumulative system of voting, or such system at will protect the rhdila of minoritiea, ash leave to make the following report: The means of protecting ths rights of minorities, In representative forma of government, has for a long porlod engaged tb* attention of tbe tbongbtful minds. Ia Karops, as well as in this country, tbis question bas boss fully discussed, and a satisfactory solution anxiously sougbt. Ho dsfeetiv* is the system of mere majority rule?so flagrant are the abuses to wbieb it is liable, that the oeosaslty for its modifleation strikes with fores every impartial observer, ft is obvious that ths need's of good government require that some effective organism ba dsvlssd for the protection of minorities. Tour eommlttoe deem it anneeesssry to sator wpoa aa analysis of the ssrsral sebaceae ot proportional representation that her* hoen suggested. Koough to say that, in our judgment, the plan of eumutative voting hast accomplishes tbe sad la view?best makes representation ao-extens iv# with ths whole WoJy of electors. This plea obtains, wherever there Is mors tbaa on# officer to be elected. It givee the elector ae many votes as there are persons to be ehoeea, | and allow* bin to bat tow hit rotoi upon the | whole nntnbar, or to enmnlato than apoa up ' namb?r Im> tbM tbe wb?f*: Tk? effect ot r series, dee., at & C.

The propasltWa is that the oesieletiee lyitea aoosros tbore?|k sod gonorsl representation of ell the in terests le tips political body. To illustrate the systems Uotlor tbo preeeet eloetoral system of tbo State, ia a community of 1H rotors, Ml elect representative!?say four?for tbo entire body. That U, oat of 200 rotors, 10!

Tbo 00 bare no roprrsontatiroa?are virtually disfranchised Now, oador the operation o! tbo (emulative system of voting, assessing that, ia tbo tamo community, tbo 300 are equally divided politically, the rtprtMoUtivn would be equally divided. It way be matbastatically stated that: 1.000 voters ; 600 voter* :: Oil. Under the operattoo of such a system, eaob party weald of necessity calculate He strength te advenes, and seek to elect only the number proportionate te its nnnMvieal strength. For instance, in a certain community, let oe assume that there are \000 Democrats and O.uOO Republican voters, and that there are three persons to be elected. The 6,000 Democrats have 16,000 votes. The 9,060 Repn Means have 27,000 votes. If the Democrats were to attempt to elect all three representatives, they oould give each only 6,000 votes, which would result in their securing no representative, as the Republicans, being able to give each of their candidates 9,000 votes, would elect them all. On the oth?r hand, if the Republicans were to attempt to eleot all tbeir representatives, they could give each only 9.000 votes, whieh would result in the defeat of one, as the Democrats could cumulate their 16,000 upon one candidate, end thus elect bitn. The effect would be tbatcaoh party would, of necessity, oumubtte its strength and there would reswlt e proportional representation. In the case stated, mc #,o jo Democrats would secure one representative, end 9,000 Republicans two representatives. This is thaprinoiplc of proportional representation, by means ot .be cumulative system. Tour committee, desiring to confine themselves to general propositions, propose to refrain from entering further into details. ]to sa costtixce?.) <Tl)c (Sntfjqmse. QjyEK W VOLL (?, ?. ?.
