Convention, and to be addressed I by the leading delegates tn attendance. Governor Perry, of South Carolina, was introduced ano said he had come from South Carolina in the spirit of General Grant, who bad sajd that there was nothit g heiter than for tho paople of the North and South to intermingle with each oilier, that prejudices would be swept away and the great, republic would be united into one great people-a power auiong the nations of the earth. Though he bad .come from Sooth Carolina, ho would say that- be had always been a Union man. He believed in the doctrine of Washington Farewell. Address, that.our nation she dd ever remain one in government, spirit and love. South Carolina had accepted in wood faith tho results pf tho lat? contest. She had con tended for the principles of secession-a right in which bc never believed himself-and he had-almost siood alone among his neighbors, the friend and advocate of the Old Union. Tile State of South Carolina had honestly believed in secession, but ber sons had now fully accepted tho situation and as ho had tu|<] President Jobnson lost summer, when appointed ProTtsjonsl Governon.

Sooth Carolina may tav? dsao wronj i ana sinner! heavily ; bat is it not the charac ter of Christian ch rity^taforgi?re brothers' sins as one's sins are forgiven"-?'" South Caro; lina expected, after she had corfartned to all requisitions of the President of (he L'uiced States, that the ! 'nion would, be. agaiu restored and she would become a, member. She hqd understood that the war had been carried on for the Union, and after its close with a loss of four hundred thousanoVli vesand hundreds of millions pf. d?lltrs, her representatives are not-allowed to enter .Congress.

Mr. Chairman and. gentlemen, let me, in this connection, ask what I have to gain mero than the advancement of the public welfare ? I am as much opposed to the indulgence of egotism as ?ny one, but bore, io a conversational manner, -.bile formally receiving thc proceedings ol this Convention, I may bo permitted again to ask what have I lo gain, consulting human ambition, more than I have gained, except in one thing?

I Lave held, from the 0 west to the highest,, almost .every., position to vtiich a man may attain in our Government, and .surely, gentlemen, this should bo enough to grati fy a reasonable smbition.

But, gentlemen, my pride and my ambition have been to occupy that position which retains all power in the hands of tho peoplo. It is upon that I have always relied. It ?j upon that I roly now, and I rcpoiit that neither tho laurels nor the jeers of Congress, nor of a subsidized, calumniating press, can drive ate from my purpose. [Great applause.] I acknowledge no superior except my God, the Aulhor*bf my existence, and tbe people* of tho * Untied States." [Prolonged and enthusiastic cheering.] For tho one I try to. obey all His . counsels as best I can, compatible with my poor h imanity; for the other, in a political and rep resentative sense, thc high behests of the people have always been respected and obeyed by me. [Applause.] Mr. Chairman, I have said more than I had intended to say. For the kiad allusion to myself " contained in your address, and in the resolutions adopted by Ibe Convention, let mo remark that in this crisis, and at the present period of my public life, I hold, above all price, and shall ever recur with feelings of profound grati?cation to the last resolution, containing thc endorsement ? a Convention, emanating spontaneously from the great mass'of the people. I trmt and hope that my future action rna) bc such that you, and the Convention you represent, may not regret the assurance of confidence you hare experienced. Before separating, my "friends, one and all, please accept my' sincere thanks for thc kind manifestations of regard and respect you have exhibited on this occasion. I repeat that I shall always continue to be guided by a conscientious . i.'onviction of duty, and that always 'gives one courage under tho Constitution which I have made my guide. At'the conclusion of the President's remarkp bree enfliutirtstlc chtcr? were given for Andrew Johnsen and three more for Gen.

Disappearing shortly after the mar? I der of Mr. Lane, the first announcement of I his whereabouts came from himself in a let I ter written to his mother and enclosing a I picture. The letter was dated at Petersburg, ! ?-tated that ho was about to bc married, and I desired his mothar to come on, for which pnr I pose he would if he dared send her some j money. .With this information, the officers, j accompanied by j'oung Lane, had no difficult . ! ly in effecting the arrest. Ile is a precious looking scoundrel, dressed in fine array, and acknowledges complicity in the erime. He may be regarded as the ringleader. Several other regroes have been arrested in andr around Newberry, who likewise acknowledge they were present on the nigktof thc murder; but they all state that John Counts, killed by Mr. Starling of this city, was the man who struck thc fatal blow.-Columbia Phoenix.
