A treat was given to the large audience In the eioqueut speech of General Hoberl E tlemphiii, oi Soum Carolina, who nas been lor several years au ardent irlend of the suffrage uioveinenl in the Palmetto State. It >vas one ol tne gems of the occasion and was profoundly appreciated by tne convention. General lieinpuiii reached tne plaliorm during uie denyery oi Miss iJlackwell's address. lii preseuling him to the audience Miss Anthony introduced him as a distinguished son of South Carolina who was uol ashamed for his dautihters to hear him deliver a political speech. General Hemphill was warmly greeted. "Tne appearance,vsaid he, "of u citizen ol Soutu Uai01 urn, wiio has always followed the political precepts of lUe great Calhoun, on the floors ol tne woman's suffrage convention, plainly evinces ine fact ibai the world 8 moves, and thai South Carolina 1b moving with iu" (Appiause.) in a ciear, musical ana fiiiirino uiiiiiM rhui rl 11t nuorv nl^ha unrf onr. uer ol tile opera house, ^General Hemphill discussed the s?atus ol the American woman, dud protested Uer rigut to vole ou ail queslions that coucerned uer weliare and thai ol' the government under which she lived. He referred 10 tue wouieu ol South Caroliua aud < : the coutributious made by them (o tbe literaI Lure of tbe South.

Instead ol uusexlug them, . it would only make them better citizens; it -l would carry luto the homes the science ol ' [ governmeut, aud would tie the means ol [ building up a citizenship that would make { tbi8 couutry grauder and more glorious. 1 (Applause.) Geuerai Hemphill stated that he J uad enjoyed the rare privilege of preseutiug 1 a resolution in the senate ol Soutu Carolina j . for the amendment of uer constitution to provide lor woman suffrage. The amendment c was lost, but it was a failure prophetic ol 1 coining triumph. He closed with a brilliant , tribute to American womanhood. ' "1 tbiuk at this stage ol me proceedings," f bald Miss AutUony, after nearing tuis e'o- ; quern speech of General Hemphill, that we , Lad belter have 'Dixie' from the band."

The TillmniiiteH, with their Conren(ion, IlHve Scnrod the Negroes On I of their Roots. ro the Fair Minded, Humane and Patriotic Men or South Carolina: The call for h Constitutional Convention foi the express purpose of disfranchising thf colored citizens of the State, for impos Ing a$3 poll tax upon thealready Impoverish id people of tbe State and repealing the 2 mill school tax, has so alarmed us as a race that we the representatives of the colored peple, dc hereby appeal to you, tne sons and grandsons if liberty loving fathers and grandfathers tc lend us a helping hand In preserving and protecting that which Is most deartoallmen and races. Why disfranchising the negro now 1 Had this convention been called twenty yeare igo, there might have been some excuse for it, for we acknowledge at that time there were nany things for which the wlte man of the *tate had just cause to complitia. Hut after laving control of the State government twenty years, during which time the negro has ;rown Intellectually, financially and morally, t seems both unreasonable and unjust to at empt at this lute day to attempt at tills late late to eliminate him from the body politic, >f which he Is part and parcel. Is It because le Is ungovernable? No, all will admit that he negro is peaceable, law-abiding and ever eady to strike a blow lor his State and couhry. And though, almost without representation In their branch of blBStaleor National [overnmeut, he Is not only amenable to the aws of his State, but helps to maintain Its ;overnment, even If it takes the last pig out >1 his pen. Has the negro made no improvement in the ast twenty years? The records in the State will show that the tolored people of the State pay more than live (mesas much taxes now on real property han they did twenty years ago. And the chool records In each and all of the counties vill show that the colored teachers compare kvorably with the whites In all points; and u all professions the negro is making his nark and that against great odds, for wben it s remembered tbat the white schools In the State receive from 8200,000 to 8300,000 for higher ducation, while the colored Bchools receive lut $>,000 a year, it Is wonderful to see how be negro has kept so close to his white brothir in education. But the politician says the tegro is a dangerous quantity In politics and f let alone will control the Slate. Now, no ine tblnks this but that class of men who are anxious to hold offices. It Is tbat cry which las brought the State to her present condition negro domination.) And so long as the pea* iui politician and the office-seeker can conlnue thus to fool the belter thinking white nen of the State, so long will South Carolina suiaiu in uer piocui uuuuiuuu. And we, the representatives of the colored leople In South Carolina, wish here and now 0 inform tbe white people that we, as a race, lo not wish to control the State. Tbe idea Is 1 foolish one to begin with, for no colored nan with oommon sense would think for a noment that tbe colored race in its present ondltlon could control this State against ihe pishes of tbe white race. But, remembering bat we constitute a part of the citizenship of be State, and knowing that we are endowed >y our creator, God, with certain inalienable ight8, and that among these are life, liberty ,nd tbe pursuits of happiness, we contend hat as citizens we are entitled to some repesentation from each and ail the counties In he Slate, though It be minority representation, and this la all we ask. Therefore, we, the representatives of the olored race in conference assembled, and tow sitting In tbe city of Columbia, do advise be colored people throughout the 8tate to pare no efforts in obtaining their reglstralon cert Ideates, that they may he able to ex rcine inengmoi cuizensnip at tne approucnug election; and we lurther recommend that he colored people support for the Constltutonal conveoiloo any aud all fair minded vbite men, and especially thai class of white nen whom we know to be-too proud, broad ind humane to take advantage of the weak.
