A motion to adjourn until a report of this P ' committee was made was lost, as was also a motion to euler upon the c'ecllon of delegates to Chioego. Mr. Jordnn protestol on (he ground that these thiity-five committeemen should be present to vote thereon. Mr. 11. E. Hill turned the laugh on Mr. Jordan by ehosriug Ills inconsistency, as he bad pre viouely dcolared that tho caucus had cut out the wotk and there was nothing to do but to approvo it. A perfect Habel of Hounds drowued the speaking and Chairman Tnibort haiiniurfd. uwuy with his gavel for tif cen % seconds nt a tiiue without effect. II* was persistant, however and declare 1 that the conveuliuu would suspend until the noise won discontinued. Mt.

The convention iccouvenrd at 8 o'clock. Mr. Tinmierinstt, cliairmau of the committee on platforni and resolutions, made tho fotlowng report of resolutions offered in the cotuImltUe: We. the u?lL "?"

Calhoun and Andrew Jackson, and on tho>e prinoiplos we plain ourselves and will i cumin. Second. While we earnestly favor and deiunud a reduction in the onerous tariff duties, and that the burdon of such taxation he tixfd upon the luxuries, and not upon the necessities of life?and then only a sufficient revenue he levied for the maintenance of our Government economically administered, we hold that a matter of e<|Uid and paramount importance for the relief and prosperity ol'our pe rnio is an increase in our currency, aud that our Uovornnioni issue its money direct to the people ot n low rate of interest and upon such solvjyit eccurity as they can furnish. Third. Wo seo with displeasure nut] ap prehension that the monoy-chaugeis of Wall street have invaded the sacred temple ol Democracy, and that they will try und forc< upon cur party a candidate representing no the wishes and wellbeiug of our people, hul their own selfish interest. We ns-ert thai Qroeer Cleveland does not reprencnt tin principles of tiie Democracy as tnu ght bt our forefathers and us we understand them. Fourth. We therefore enter our solemn protest against the nomination of Grovei Cleveland or any other cauuidrtic kuowu 01 believed to be aeloctod in the iuterest of and at the dictation of Waii street, but we de rnund as our slatidard hearer a man for tlx people and with the people, and who will serve the people ami net any s'AcS or faction Fifth. We shall look upon the notninaiioi of cx-l'rcsidont Cleveland, if forced upor our party by the Chicago convention, as > it prostitution of the principles of Democracy ne a repudiation of the demands of tlx Farmers' Alliance which embody the trui principlosof Democracy, and a surrender o the rights of the people to the tiuaucia kings of the country. Sixth. We believe we voice tho senti ments of a large majority of the white voter of Soutn Carolina when we assert that tli nomination of any Wall Street candidal! would create grave dissa isfiction in tlx State Democracy.

If he or she la [ood for anything they can get steady and E uore satisfactory employment all the year round, at bettor pay. Whut we want, more '' than anything slat in our public echoole, is L'rofratiooal School Teachers. Teachers who intend to make teaching their life busi- ^ ness. Such teachers will not only feel ^ |.iu<i'i ui meir caning and individually a?i t ?very effort to exalt it to the highest * standard of social, moral and iutellectual * efficiency, but will hare an impelling self pride to base their reputations upon the results of their labors in the school room. It is a noble calliog, to train the intelleei jf the youth of our country, and none but tl those who are fully compotent, intellectually ' ind morally, to impress their young houits eriih wholesome knowledge should be in- w trusted with so momentous a charge.

There was no excitement at Manchester, and no fear of mob violence. The calm was illusive ; the mob but b ded its lime. At 8 o'clock this morning fifty armed men from Tullaboma went into Manchester and proceeded straight to the jail. They forced an entrance, and in a very few minutes Kvarett was swinging from the igilyoad bridge. He denied that he hid entered the room of the girls with any evil intent, but so many assaults of negroes on white women are daily reported in the South that hia denial did not avail.
