'TheS&L.Conventian Which met in Charleston, and, which adjourned on.Satarday the 14th, after a harmonious an3 delightful session of theiee days, must be acknowledged a great success. Happily conceived, and admirably worked, -it-accomplished great good. There was a life and vim about it particularly refreshing. Ia that body were brought together, men eminent in piety, - zealous in good works, men of high standing in the various branches of the christian'cburch, men of inte iigeuce and ieltere, men whose 2i'tv hive been devoted to the ititerests of Sabbath Schools, and whose hearts burn with liviring.fire, while there were those *ho had just started out as it were in the:ce which promises so much, those w1t: had just begun to sit at the feet of ther mas ter. A blending together of so many happy elements, and an elimination ' i many thoughts and ideas, and so tr.uch of practical detail, could not otherwise have been else than a great success. During the past few years the Sabbath School cause has been gradually awaken. ing a deeper interest. in the mind than ever before, and much has been done. No better time rerhapq then could have been chosen than the present for just such a c,nvertion, and now that it has been held, we believe that a spirit has been infused into the hearts of all who were present and participated, which will awaken new zeal and life into the churches and be promotive of in6nite good. As a whole it was bappy and success ful, looking to the prime feature of its assembling and its essence-tbe promo tion of Sabbath Scbools. It would be strange however, that in an asstnblage of such size if there had not been a few one-idead men, men who see not beyond the range of their own particular sphere, and in consequence there were some few impracticable thoughts thrown out, and a few sectional feelings exhibited, but the general temperance and good sense counteracted and held in check anything out of keeping with the character of the body. The next Convention will be held in Charleston again, and in May, 1872. This would not have been the case but for the lateness of the hour, just before the final adjournment, when the vote was taken for.the next place of meeting, a very few of the country delegates be ing present, otherwise Greenville would have been chosen,; and very properly. And by the way just here, we think it would be a good thing could we bring the low country out of it'self and sharpen the vision of those who see through glasses datrkly. Allusion is not made to the Convention delegates particularly hat in a general sense, for it must be confessed that there are fogies, toward and about the seaboar d, who think that rto:good can possibly exist out of their Nazareths. Mountain air and eye sh-trp ening o'uld do much to enlarge their views'into& more gener-ous line of con duct. TheJTune coivxniini The cititens' party mass meeting, held in Charlestd'Vea honday, the 16th, is described ar an enthusiastic turn out of all classes of citizens, whito and black, and a harbinger of those better days, when the present corrupt faction, now fattening on, and rioting over their spoils, will be destroyed. A t this meet ing forty delegates, 4thite and black, were appointed to attend the Convention to be held in Columbia in June. The ball is in motion for the overthrow of the vile government which now fetters the State, and which is ruining her best interests, and it cannot be long surely ere the end shall be seen. No mat ter what the means if it be not dishon orable, so the end be right. We confess to have despaired of any early results from a Convention, thinking that the time had not quite come when anything like reason or truth, or- sensc could be made to enter thg minds of a people, so infatuated and blinded by the specious lies of radical teachiing~, as the colored peo pIe are, but subsequent t7ents are bring ing out new lights ; the iogues are fall- 1 ing out among themselves and are peach ing, and when rogues fall out honest men come in for the share unjustly held I from them. So it is now. The pickings, and stealings, and app~ropriations, And greasings, have not been equally distri buted, and the 'loyal,' for some time dis- i satisfied, are breaking out in threats, and tales are being told which the stringe holders would like to keep back ; but v' what is to be will be, and they must ' stand the storm. The ring in ColumbiaI is much exercised, the treasury is ebbing c low, the hungry expectants are tired of c waiting, and foj some time losing hope, have been looking into, and seeing with I their own eyes what is to be seen. That g -tiesis the good timje, when the diupesb are no longer to be imposed on, and madeb to believe that the moon is made of green e c-he-ese, and that there can be Cut from a it slic:es enough to satisfy them all. That b will be the good timne when it comes.- 0 It has not yet come, but come it must, and then honesty and truth shall be es tablished in the country,. and peace, harmony and prosperity prevail; Jn the meantime let the Conventiv*,.*hi'ch i, ia fixed f:et, meet in Jurne', iand let E wedges be entered wherever tAeriffs an Z - opening, and where thero is none let one12 be made. Let t~he Convention be held, I and well atten.. 3, for in the multitude I of counsellors there is safety. Again, shall New berry be represented? c ME.wIx, Ma-y 18.-Bishop Wightman t~ has~ be-en selected by the conference to f write the life of Bi-shop Soule. A mnes- o s.ee was received from the Methodist t l.te..am ferefnce at Telhimore. pro- jb Techar's Convention. Agreeable to call this Convention was held in Columbia last week. Mr. -Tbos. Duckett, of Newberry, ura called to the Chair, and the followingierinaneot offi cers elected: H. S. Thorso ;Columrbia'_ President; J. B. Patrick, Winnsbovo, A. P. Pifer, Newberry, and. D H. Town send, of Union, Vice- Presidents; B. F. Miller, Greenville, Corresponding Secre tary, and M. M. Farrow, of Winnsboro, Recording Secretary and Treasurer. The Association will be known as the Educa tional Institute of South Carolina, and any person identified with the cause of education- may, 'by a four-fifths v'te of members present, become a tr.ember, on payment of $1. The asso' iation, we are piased to see, is orga,ized on a lib. eral basis. k Northern Vie of the Late Immigration Convention. It is p]ra'.ant to know, says the Cbar. leston 0r,urier, that a Radical Journal of high standing like The Nation, which has at once the quickness to observe, ar.d the honesty to avow, that the politi cal condition of South Carolina is "a dis "grace to civilization," regards the non political news from our State as "a great "deal better than most persons in the "North have been hoping for," and as "absolutely good." Alluding to the re sults of the recent Immigration. Conven tion in this city, The Nation says: "It is surprising, for example, to learn that one small association working in Newberry District, a fine country with a beautiful climate and lying in the mid die region, between the sand and the hills, alone has introduced almost 500 European immigrants-Swedes we take them to be, for the gentleman who gave the account of them went on to say, that 'if you give a Swedish laborer a peck of meal and three pounds of bacon a week you may expect him to tabernacle with you only for a night;' at,d he added something to the effect that the Swede is a free man, who comes to this country to better his condition, and not to be a serf, and who must be treated according ly. These remarks were made in a con vention which sat for seveial days in Charleston, and included delegates from Georgia as well as from all parts of Sn'. Carolina. T,nnb1+g over the report of the proceedings, we noted an entire ab sence of the spirit but recently perva ding the South Carolinian mind-the spirit which demands, not immigrants who desire to better themselves, but a servile peasantry. It appears as if there were now a genuine wish to foster the 1 sort of imrtigratiot from abroad and from the North and East which has i built up the States of the West and, and made them the wonder of the world; and an elaborate plan to accomplish the I desired result was submitted to the con- i vention, and, after intelligent debate, adopted. The South was always ready enough to hold conventions, agricultural and other, and it is hard, when we read the Charleston resolutions, not to think of the gentlemen who-used regularly to meet and resolve that Norfolk, Virginia, was designed by God to be the greatest seaport on this continent; but still, the resolutions before us have a very bust ness-like and hopeful look." AN AwrUL ACIENT AiD) HORRID DEATH. -The Savannah News has re eeived the following particulars of a dreadful accident, resulting in the loss of life of Mr. James HI. Butler, neat Eden, Effinigham county.: "Mr. Butler, on last Wednesday morn-I ing, while adjusting a belt near the cir- I :olar saw, was thrown or fell from his position upon the saw, which was in iull motion.-at the time.

M.--In Con- a :rence Dr. Hamilton, of Mobile, pro- s yosed two new Bishops, Drs. Monroe, of i Hissour i; Lerva, Marshall, of Mississippi; t Brinkley, of Texas, favored the prop.: sition.

TR.oUBLEsOME.-We have been startled of late to find that we o*ed several little sums rangIng from 5 to 20 ets. to suspicious look,. irg darkies, some of whom we never saw be fore and hope never to sea again. The de mnand is made for having taken home a bun dle or something else of that sort. In one instance a fellow w@fed a pair of shoes said to have been promised. We didn't know him of course and didn't give the shoes. We regret looking so much like a millionaire, as it gives rise to covetousness, and while pro testing against such unla-wful demands, tear fully say that our appearance is deceptive, we are as poor as a church mouse. Has the fifteenth commandment done this thing? THE WEATHER, &c.-The weather con. tinues excessively warm for this season, and dry in this immediate neighborhood. On Friday evening tbere was a slight rain from the edges of a storm cloud which passed from West to East. T be lightning and thun,. der during its passage was terrific. The chimney of Mr. A. M. Wicker's house was struck, but luckily the fluid glanced off with out entering. The main body of the storm developed heavy rain, wind and hail. About King's Creek, hail fell thickly about the size of mus ket balls, and must have done no little dam age. We have heard from no other section. Rain is still greatly needed in many por'. tions of the district. Wheat is still looking fine and almost ready to cut. In the absence of the pastor of Avekeigh Churci., who was in attendance upon the General Sy nod, at Louisville, Rev. Mr. Hill house, made a clear, strong and beautiful argumecnt upon the importance of the resur rection, and the infallibility of the truth of the Bible; which is unanswerably demon strated by even profane history. Episcopal services were held at St. Luke's by Rev. Mr. Motte, who, from the text, "Take heed how ye hear," delivered an in teresting discourse. Rev, Jacob Hawkins preached very elo quently before the congregation of Luther Chapel In the afternoon, Rev. John Stout, the new incumbent of the Baptist Church, was quite impressive in his sermons, both morning and afternoon. Rev. Ebenezer McClintock may be expect ed to preach in 'the Associate Reformed Church at 5 o'clock, next Sabbath after. noon. Divine service may be expected at St. Lukes' (Episcopal) Church next Priday eve ning at candle-light. Rev. Mr. Miles offici. sting. There will be no service at St. Luke's next Sunday. Intelligence from Korth Carolina is very ..uern-. n,-n.nr.aic accessions are large THE BALTItoRE PAcxxTs.-The trave ling public are not all aware that the Balt more'line of steamers, of which Mr. Pi TrenhoIm, of Chaileston, Is agent, offers fi cilities to.passengers going North which at worth considering. The following are som of the advantages: these fine vessels are psi pared to accommodate passengers in a hanc some manner; only one night is spent o tb ocean; oily 40 hours are consumed 'ln tb trip; and the passage is only $15. Thus tb many disadvantages and incouveniences < the longer trip by New York steamer ax avoided. If the passenger must go to Nei York beside,.he has had a good nights re and will reach that city just as soon and b fresh for business when he gets there. Wit the Captain-Dutton-of one of these vessel -the Sea Gull-we are acquainted, and pro nounce him a man after our own heart, an as clever a gentleman as sails the deep bin sea. The Sea Gull is a staunch craft, th Captain a skillful and experienced officei and we would prefer crossing the big pon this way than by any other. A man in Wajne County is feeding a cos on juniper berries to get her to give gin an milk. It can't be done, any more than ; hen can lay scrambled eggs by stirring he up with a pole. The doubt comes from a croakcr, and ther are always those who would frown down an: and every attempt to ameliorate the condi tion of mankind. That the cow is suscepti ble of high improvement is known. We re collect seeing one looking out of a third sto ry window. There is no comparison betweet a cow and a hen, the latter is a vicious, con. trary creature, and will do those things sb< hadn't ought to, will refuse to sec an opet gate,if you want her out of a garden, in spit of bricks, brooms or brushes, and will set of another hen's nest, and do many other things One of the reasons for this is that her tail hi erect, and she sometimes crows like a roes ter, in imitation of the woman's right move ment. Talk not about hens. The cow ii different altogether, she is "gentle and kind' for the reason that like old dog Tray, "aE tail hangs down behind." Let the Waync County man try the juniper berries by al means. - OLD JoE.-Not the colored individual made immortal by the poet, "who kicked nI behind and befo," but old Joe of Beth Eden. Sligh-memory, whose highest ambitiot in the "good old daze" was to recline before the fire and toast his shins, in the exercise of which pastime he lost his toes and the best part of his understandings, and has evet since been stumping it, or to sit in the sun, shine and brush away troublesome flies, and in the soft nights of late summer and fall, to go in quest of 'possum, we areb pleased to see, is now filling another role. Looking in, to the Court House we find Joe sitting as a juror. Little did Joe ever dream that the wheel of fortune would place him so high in life, and well might he say 'tis better to be born lucky than rich. Joe is a. picture. Look at him. His forehead seems to have had at some early period a misunderstand ing with the other features of the face, and getting frightened had made a Bull Run re treat to the rear, not before, however, flatten ing the nose, and doing lasting injury to the lips, which are of unusual thickness and breadth. Both face and form look like they might have been knocked into "pi." Joe cannot play the part of the wolf in little Red Riding Hood, for the reason that "whal makes your eyea so big ?" could not apply, he being blessed with a remarkably small pair of eyes. Old Joe is not a director yet, and he thanks his stars for that, for the sea son that he has no admiration for his name, sake, but he-is a jury-man, and is getting a aollar and tirty cents per day, to sit and doze, and dream of the 'postum and coon. Joe always showed a remarkable intelligence when the dinner horn sounded, and now when the trumpet tones of the bar and bench are sounded in his ears, if he can be waked, we hare no doubt but that he will "be dar," and if he should happen to say "Shoo fly, don't bodder me," we hope the Judge will excuse him. Poor Joe, he's not so fat and sleek us he used to be." Cotin.-The Court of General Sessions has been in session one week and the busi ness transacted has amounted to almost nothing. It is a farce, and not a farce either for there is nothing about it which might provoke a smile; it is rather a disgraceful burlesque, and in keeping with the times in which we live. The court house has become a sort of market place for all the idle negroes of the district, and there is searcly room for the few lawyers in attendance to display theirpowers. It might be better if they were crowded out altogether. This idle, ignorant crowd delight to go there, for the reason, that while on the one hand crime is shown to be crime, on the other hand it is made to look like virtue itself. This of course is highly relished,and against law and evidence, is believed. It is to be regretted that some restriction can not be interposed to check a license of speech calculated to work so great harm to society. Murder and theft cannot be less than the crimes which they are, and though a reasonaible effort should be made, and all lawful chances given the criminal, a regard should always be had for whatis right and true. The courts had tetter be closed at once than that crime should be'held up to an ignorant mob as virtue. The only case of interest so far is that of the State vs. John Singley, Lewis Berry and wife, and Steve Coleman, indicted for the murder of Samuel Dunwoody. This case is still in progress. The empannehong of a jury is at all times disagreeable-and the gathering together the jury upon the murder ease was disorder worse confounded; a juryman should be a discreet person and one at least capable of reading and writing. Some of those upon the jury are known to be most incompetent, and-more than this they sleep during the pro ceedings. Should the opinion of such be ings be talten where the issues are life and death? Whither are we drifting? Does it not indeed look as though humanity is rap.. idly retreating to brutish beasts and that for a verity man is losing his reason. A few other cases of trifling character have been disposed of. How many more there are and how much longer court will sit, it is im possible to state now. SEAsoNING .-Ia the early days the father of an interesting bevy of girls could afford to give them away in marriage, because it was then considered handsome to give a girl a feather bed, six chairs, a cherry bureau and table, six cups and saucers, six tea-spoons and a quantity of sand for scouring the floors. Now-a-days the groom does not de mand the sand even, if the bride's father will only come down the dust. Why do women spend so much time and money in dress ? A cynic replies, ''to worry other women!'' The man who brought eighty-seven ladies to a ball in Birmingham, Pa., received the prize, a gold watch. Another who escorted fifty.ifour didn't. A Keokuk belle, named 1Fanny Joy, has just married. She was a thing of beauty, but had no desire to remain a Joy forever. For putting his arm around a lady's waist on several occasions, an English farmer has had to pay $400. Fashionable suits for ladles in New York this spring are described as ornamented with everything, "from Jacob's ladder to a pen wiper, in silk." In Union Township three negroes have OtE ARTIsr.-Mr. Wiseman is not only 1 one of the cleverest men we have ever met ia with in his line, but be keeps up with the ,. times in all that pertains to his beautiful pro ea fession.

We would mention f too, that now the days are long and fine, the e opportunities for securing the services of Mr. r W. are greater than at other periods, and we t advise our friends to call andhave their work e done now. Snoo FLY.-This favorite song only in I creases in popularity as it grows in age. Shoo fly is god father to everything in use al most, from a shine of the boot, to that latest I and most tantalizing arrangement known as the pannier, and which latter the ladies of the metropolis so largely affect. At the late Gerthan festival, Shoo fly was all the go; the band played it, little niggers whistled it, men r drank it, and women took it to their bosoms I and hung it to their backs; in short, unless you go in Shoo fly, you will be left out in the cold. The following lines areappropriate, and allusion must be made to the 'man of Steel, who went up in the balloon lately. - Der efening clouds was seddling fasd, - As a young man drough der city passed, Shkading along mid air, and pale, Mit dese vords tied on his coad dail :-"Shoo "Oh! don'd go such a night like dose," His mudder gries.

Tan "CAIors RosE."-The Columbia Guardian, of Wednesday, relates the fol lowing interesting incident : When the body of Calhoun was lying ir, State in Charleston, one of a commit ten of citizens from his, our district Colonel John T. Sloan, of this city-took .up a white rose from among the profusion of flowers that lay upon the bier of the honored dead. The rose was carefully preserved, taken to Anderson, and plant ted. It grew and bloomed. Since then, it has been transplanted four time.s, and to-day is blooming in the garden of Col onel Slcan, in Columbia. We suggest that the tree-hereafter be called the "Calhoun Rose." [Charleston Courier. A very remarkable coincidince,'we are informed, occurred at the Purcell House last night. Three gentlemen registered their names in sOccession, -and they ap peared, leaving out the initials, as fol lows : Root, Hogg, Dye.
