Ransier, at fifteen minutes past twelve o'clock.?It. B. Elliott, C. Ju Wilder and F. L. Cardoao, were 5 ^ uomiuated as temporary chairmen, but Cardozo resigned.?Elliott was elected ^ hy a vote of 10S to 28.?On m >tion of si Robert Smalls, W. C. Jones, (Cardo- c zo's clcik,) was elected temporary v Bccrc^tary. ' * A committee of one from each coun- u 1y, except where cont< sting delegations ? were present, was appointed on ere- 11 dentials. The rules of the House of 1r 81 Representatives were adopted by the i convention. - v Contesting delegations are here from b Beaufort, Charleston, ChesteilieiJ, a Lexington and Union. The conven- ^ p tion took a recess from three o'clock, o to 8 p. m. At that time the committee / on credentials were not ready Ip report. A motion to have Senator Sawyer ! r-peak to the convention was voted ^ down; much spirit of opposition being manifested. The convention took a reCS3, but as the committee had not relwvrtpA at 10 30 n. m., a motion for ad- 7 journment until ten o'clock Thursday morning prevailed. It is understood ! ^ that the delegation headed by Smalls ^ y from Beaufort, by a vote of 13 to 12 is la ti to be reported as delegates, by the ! y committee on credentials. j p ! le The contest will be between Moses y4, and Chamberlain for the governorship, i et * l?l ' ei Columbia, Aug. 23. | r< 11 o'clock, A.

But the fact en is that in this and other states the north- j F rrn man has been no more to blame, if as cc much, than the southern republicans. In j C'? this state \vc find the democratic reprc- i c< sentatives in the legislature of no woral j la fi?rce. Though few in numbers they i w ini/rht have accomplished mudi if they , of Iiad been men of high character and cor- ; pi rect principles. But a reference to the in journals of the house and senate will i fo show them to have voted for some of the { st worst bills passed during the four years i ai: since l8i>S. Of the republican southern- i od OMj it is hardly necessary to speak. .Mo- (? sos, Nenglcjthc Mackcys. Melton. Bowen. tli Crews, etc., will not gain much by a com- , & parison with Scott.

The programme is of a very diversified character comprising scriptural and historical scenes, some of which have been closely connected with our national history. The entertainment will conclude with two humorous scenes which take it all in all, cinnol fail to attract a large attendance of the people of Beaufort, who have such few opportunities of attending public enlcrlaiumcnts. The proceeds are to be devoted to a charitable purpose to aid the St. Peter's Church. We bespeak a good attendance.

She died as reported in our last j issue on Wednesday at the old Club I House, and was hurried the same day j by the county authorities, but was dis- ' interred on Thursday and a post mor- j Lem examination held by Or. II. M. : Stuart the county physician, assisted j by I)r. S. B. Thompson. The witnesses examined at the inquest were the nurs*i, the doctor who attended her, and others who visited her during her illness. We give below j the principal facts elicited duringthe inquiry, together with the verdicts of the jury. Sophia Graham, the nmse in the course of her evidence described the in;? -f 11-- *111 rinor f.ho conuiuuii U1 nil- uiunni u, v.v. ( time she waited on her: ?She was suf- i fering from fever and diarrhoea, and i gave her instructions about her modi . c ine, which consisted of qu'ninc powders, t<? l c taken in twenty drops of a liquid contained in a small vial. The : deceased was apparently b coming convalescent on Tuesday wh n the nurse washed her, and put her on clean clothes. \vh< 11 she went to bed dcsiiing the nurse to go for the doctor. The doctor visited the deceased in the absence of the nurse, who when she returned found the deceased unable to speak, and apparently slupilied, in which condition she retrain d until she died. l)r. II. M. Stuart deposed to having held a post mortem examination, and the finding of h fnrfu.s in Hiiro at least five months advanced in pregnancy; but be found no evidence of an attempt to produce abortion, but it was utterly .... \ ? impossible to tell wiieiner any sucu attempt lia<1 been made. He had attended the deceased, but the last lime he-had seen her was the first of J une. She had complained to him, and had done so for two months. of the suppression of the menstrual How. He gave her tonic medicine, and she coinplakied that the medicine was not strong enough. He. had i xamincd her stomach and there was no inllamation. There was ail enlargement of | the liver but nothing special. Inllamation of the stomach is produced by (liarrluea, and medicine that would be given to produce a menstrual How would produce diarrhiea, such as aloes; but ft was not within his knowledge thatyt-llow jassaminc, (the medicine used in this instance) would produce it.

When he saw the deceased on Tuesday morning she was ^ perfectly intelligent and he was sur- ^ prised at the sudden change. On ; Tuesday night he did not think she <j? ! was Hancrfirfius. nl touch she laid in a t> , ' ?? '1 C7 | u stupor, completely relaxed.

Br. Stuart was recalled, he thought cc that one hundred and fifty drops had j ; gone out of the vial. lie had no j ja ; knowledge whether that amount if tak; en at one dose would produce death as he never used it in his practice, there I were other fever remedies, of not so ! elan^rous a character. Medical works , were produced containing a description ; of the gelscminum, from winch it ap* j peared that besides being a fever remedy it was u.-ed in cases of suppressed 1 menstruation. . Mr. Collins gave evidence as to a conversation he had with tlie deceased on the Thursday previous when the deceased had told him that she had ; been sick and expected to be sick again, aud that she might die. The jury disagreed and the following verdicts were given: We the undersigned jurors find that Carrie A.

A SIGH OF BETTER TIMES. | THE NOBLE SPEECH OF HORACE GREELEY AT PORTLAND. The following is the address of Mr. Greeley, delivered at Portland, Maine: ( JSfr Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen : It is certainly tcue that throughout the course of my life, so far as I have ! been connected with public affairs, I i (] have struggled with such capacity as ( God has given me. iirst, for impartial y and universal liberty, second, for the k union and greatness of our common ji country, and third, and by no means Jj least, when the former end was attain- t ed, for early and hearty reconciliation and peace arnoDg our countrymen. For these great ends I have struggled, t and hope the issue of the third is not f doubtful. T thoroughly comprehended i ? that no personal consideration has , drawn this vast assembly together. , v ntlioi' liltrVinr orifl crronrlnr f>nn?irlpr9. I C j tions have collected you arouud me to- '] day. It is part of the unwritten law a ; of our country that a candidate for the Presidency may not make speeches in I vindication aud commendation of the j a principles whereupon he is supported, > L ' or the measures which his election is \ > intended to promote, though a candi? date for Vice-President is under no I such inhibition. I not merely acquij esce in the restriction; I recognize and ! afiirm its propriety. The temptation v to misinterpret and misrepresent a a ) candidate for the higher posts is so | | great, the means of circulating such v , ' perversions among people who never g ' i see a word of their refutation are so ! vast, that a candidate has no moral > right to subject his friends to the per- C j i's he must brave, if not invite, by tak- v ing part in the canvass. Yet there is I ! a truth to be uttered iu behalf of those ; j > ! who have placed me before the Amer- ^ ) icau people in my present attitude, which does tinm such honor that I l : claim the privilege of staling it here "I and now. Ttiis is the truth no prison , v lias ever yet made the fact known that I * i he proposed to support, or actively did j support my nomination, whether at | c , i Cincinnati, at Baltimore, or in any ac- v j lion which resulted in sending dele- ,, i gates to either convention, as the. basis t of a claim for otViec at my hand-.
