As soon as he Inake iuifhiiilitii of that character illtake the liberty of copying such ?ph8?a giye Important information negro, .. ,* .. As Others See Us. Col. John W. R. Pope, of Speight. Daily, who was present at our meetin last Sale Day, gives a highly iuterestin account of that meeting, from which w extract the following: "We attended the convention more t see the personel of the body generall than to report what was saia and don< Weil, it was as tine an assemblage of rue as we ever saw, and thero was an air c cheerfulness as well as g*>od feeling pre vailing throughout the convention, whic. contrasted strikingly with a like body, w happened to see assembled at the sam place in '76. Then the bodv wore a sul leu uneasy determined, 3'ct unhappy ap pearance,'which to our eye, meant "mischief at thesnap of a ttnger. The assem bLage of '78 was, as we have said, cheer ful, bright, hopeful and assured. In th various discussions and remarks am speeches we noticed one thing particular lv, there was not a unkind word o thought Intimated or expressed agains the colored people. It seemed to be en tirely forgotten that there was any antag onisin of raocs* We doubt if any of th members of the body noticed this but i was a striking manifestation in so large : body of men and from all parts of a ver large country, that tho inauguration o the policy "of good will, between al classes of our people was fairly afoot." Col. Pope makes this mention of Mr James A Wideman's speech: The debate thus raised waxed hot anc some allusion being made to Bor I deaux, gaining three votes by the change | whilst that section of the couritv, woul( lose fifteen votes, Mr. J. A. Widemai ! rose and said, that whilst Bordeaux wai fully satisfied with the 7 vote delegation yet, Mr. Chairman, Bordeaux is entitlec to her rights aud by thunder sir'' (hen tho applause and roars of laughter abso lutely drowned the voice of the Speakci who continued with the most animate* gesticulations to advocate the rights o Bordeaux to the end of his brief pero ration.) It useless to attempt to doscrib< this rich scene, suffice it to say we enjoy ed that littlo speech hugely and the coiv vention seemed eqnally alive to the thunders of Bordeaux." On the election of members to the Stati Convention Colonel Pope soys of Mr Burt: "\Ve deem it but proper to explaii how it was that the venerable Armisteac Rnrt_ the noblest Roman of them all, was elected as an alternate. This gentleman's nomination lor delegate in chie; was received with the warmest applause and it was sometime before the body permitted him to be heard, declining the honor. The Chair smilingly ruled hire out of order, and the bodv taking the cuc sustained the chair with renewed applause. The noble old gentleman, however, insisted upon being heard and positively declined. Many however persisted in Voting for Mr. Burt whilst many oJ his warmest friends did not feel at liberty to insist upon that which would prove an inconvenience to him. Mr. Burt got votes enough to make him an alternate. It is known to all, if he had not so earnestly declined, he would have received a unanimous vote, and it was only necessary to see the warm manner in which his nomination was rtjeeived by the convention and itsfchairman, to be convinced oi this." Upon Mr. Conner's spcech the same writer says: "Mr. F. A. Conner, upon the conclusion of the clectiou proceedings addressed the convention in the happiest and most unanswerable manner m defence of his support of the usury law, and the measure auopieu dv me Legislature on the ljond question." The ex-member made a most lucid and dispassionate exposition of his course, especially on the bond question, which won him many laurels, and wo venture to say it carried conviction to every unprejudiced mind." And to conclude, the energetic and able journalist is good enough to say a kind word for tho Press and Banner, as follows: "We received the warm hand of fellowship from all, and were especially indebted to our \ftiond Hugh Wilson, of tho iVcss and Banner, for many courtesies and attentions. Wo wish friend Wilson ul i the success which his journal, one of the most interesting and one of tne ablest weeklies in the South, must continue to secure him.

An Elaborate Argument of an Im< portant nud Interesting Question? h The State of Sooth Carolina As> n scrts Her Exclusive Right to Trj 0 Offences Against Her Peuce and Dignity. [From our Spcclal Reporter. Greenville, 8. C., July 3.?Thcanruraenl In the case of the State vs. Hugh P. Kane el e al, indicated for the murder of Amos Ladd d cnme up before Judjje Kershaw this morning at ten o'clock and, with, an Intermission twc hours, lasted until 8 P. M. * It seems the petition for "removal" wa< t filed in the office of the clerk of the Unitec - States Circuit Court at Charleston, who there< _ upon issued his writ of hnbocucorj)U* cum cau R sa (to take the bodies of the prisoners and th< " case or record) to the marshal. This mom 1 Ing a copy of the writ was served by a depua ty marshal on the Sheriff, and a formal de f inand was made for the custody of the pris ,( oners. This was, of course, refused, and th< question came up for argument in the nature of a plea to the jurisdiction. Mr. Blythe openod for tbc prisoners. His . speech. It seemed, was only designed to draw the lire of the other side, without exposing any portion of his case to their shot, j Attorney General Youmnns objected to thl* programme, and called attention to the tffltli " rule of court, nniler which his side was entl 5 tied to full Information aa to overy point hU 1 antagonists proposed to moke. ! The court sustained thin claim, and coun. sel for the prisoners accordingly submitted in 5 succession their several points and authorl? ties. When the last had been given, Mr, 1 Cothran arose to reply to all Mr. Blythe had 3 not said. We might have been con tent, he said, to allow the counsel on the other side to show r themselves entitled to affirmative relief 1 They came luto court affirming a proposition, f ?ir?i nmiMinir tn nil rules of loelc and law. It . Is their duty make clcar the affirmative that , they seek. But this case involves a great deal more than the disposition of the parties be" fore the court, and we think proper to pre sent to the Court the objections wo have to - granting the requestofthe petitioners. Counsel on the other side would And tt difficult to present any satisfactory reason for invad5 ing the sanctity of this court in an attempt to arrest proceedings against these men. Before ' the passage of the W3d Section no pretence would have been setup for taking such a step, and even now he would say with posl' tivencss that, notwithstanding the long ar1 ray of authorities cited, not a single ease , which had been referred to would support . these claims. It Is a little strange that the < case of GRines vs. Fuentcs should be cited 1 as authority for carrying a case of murder i into the United States Court. It was a civil action, and he would ask counsel on the oth; er side to show a single case where a homicide has been transferred to a United States court and trlea. It is not denied that such ' cases have been transferred, and the record and prisoner taken there, but they were never tried; and he would defy counsel on . the other side to produce the evidence that one had ever been tried. These matters hap1 pen to come within the observation of the country?we know these faots to be so?and he wonld like to know for instance what had hommii nr the derision in the case of Matthieson, No copy of it can be found in Charleston. What sort of a trial was It? Was he much tried? How was he tried? Where and what was the machinery of the i trial of that case ? Was a Jury empanelled? Was a prosecuting officer present? What was the verdict?was he guilty or not gnllty? ' We are waiting for the verdict yet! What . assurance have we or the country that if this cas? is transferred to the samocourt it will not take the same course. It Is not pleasant to wait for such a result, What Is meant by "color of law"'as the court has very pertinently asked? We assume that these men were officers and authorized to arrest; their authority could not have been more than this. My friend who first addressed tlTecourt was led into a grave error, when he said tha t these men were appointed to arrest and punish offenders. It was a slip of the tonguo on his part, but he snoke the truth, as they did punish Ladd. They had, it is claimed, authority lor ills arrest and no more, but they went further and killed him. They were acting "under color of law" u.s counsel claims, tint hv what authority and under color or what law conld they do more than arrest? The men whom they went to arrest were not /eton*; what right had they to kill one of them for resisting arrest? Theotfenue of murder cannot be committed against the United States within the territory of a state; It is an oft'enca against the "sovereign" within whose territory the offence Is committed* This writ of habeas corpus here Is very remarkable. In that it sets forth that the killing was done in self-defence, but Belf-defoncc is not a statutory right; It is a riicht by common law; and is older than constilutions or statutes. We have not seen tho petition in this case, and do not know whether it conforms to thcfU-'W Section, but the writ does not provide to be stated,"to wit: that these officers have done what they have in self-defence. The plea of self-defence looks to a trial* If they were to say that they could not got Justice or a fair trial, the case would be diflcrcnt; but they do not do this. They claim that they have a good defence, which is that they acted In self-defence, and I claln there Ik 110 ground for removal to a United Stntes Court. An officer cannot set up a plea ofselfdefence If hekillsa man in the discharge of his duty. I The point ou which this- whole case turns is, Aguinst what sovereignty was this ott'ence committed? The iudlctment would read" "Against the peace and dignity of South Carolina." Then it is her peace and dignity that would be offended, and she certainly hasnot fallen so low that she cannot defend that peace and dignity against a few strolling revenue officers! I do not say that this Is a controversy with the UnitedStates; wehavtftried that, and arc satisfied; but I say it Is a con' trOversy with individuals, and when an Individual comes In and kills one ofher citizens " 1 " I wtnf n t/i rvun.

In the well known case of Doc Bridges convicted and punished for perjury, the case was tried In a United States Court, because perjury , has been nindc sin often cei against the law of the United States. A young man in Wnlhalla , was indicted, trlcdnnd convicted In theStata Court for the same otifonce and was sent to 1 the penitentiary. I became satisfied that he ought not to de detained, as the offence was . against the United States, and he wasreleas. ea. Justice Bradley well says It would be a I manifest incongruity for one sovereign to 1 punish an offender against the laws of anothI er. I? It claimed for an Instant that this off fence is against the sovereign of the United , States? Col. Cothran then read the history of the 6!3d section as given In the Congressional Record (June4tb, 1878, nnd elsewhere) und concluded this portion of his remarks by saying that "those centlemen on the door of Confress who tbus allowed It to be killed and rousht to life apain, proclaimed from their places that murder was not in the purview of that section." Argument, he continued, Is of but little avail here. Authority is what we want. Let us see that authority which will con[ strain your Honor to acknowledge with humility and shame that the Court over which you preside is not sumciem to vindicate me dignity and peace of South Carolina Thai, J your Honor would add the last and greatest ! reproach of all to the long line of wrongs, loJ dignities and woes we have suffered a# a peo' pie* It seems to me when I recall the digni ty and respect which have ever surrounded f this court as with a halo?when I recur to the I name and fame of your Honor's illustrious r predecessors, the O'Neals, Wardlaws, Hari pers, Johnsons and others, who haveAignitled r the position which your Honor now holds? s It seems to me that it may be truly said, that It Is well for them that they were taken away t from the evil to come, and were not spared to I see the present time. The necessity for r doing so must be very clearly made to appear before this court can obtain its consent to strike its own colors to any other tribunal. r Dots Fiom Level Land.

I would sa; that all thisclnmor Is duo, in a large dcere to envy on the part of those who, if they wer to speak out the truth, would be obliged ti admit that the Associate Reformed Churcl embraces, within its bounds, with a few ex ceptlons. all of the most intelligent and bes educated men In our County. It is doubtless mortifying to members c other denominations to see members of th once much divided Seeedcr Church, rising t< the distinction to which they are, but allov me to say to them that it is only in this cas as It ever has been, and ever will be, "mini asserting its inaleiilable right" which Is thi right to rule.
