TUESDAY 1 i'XJtl.J
'?. Accoidins to announcement, the great ringed,
streaked ami stiiped convention, called to
gether to provide a new Constitution for the
oueu great State of South Carolina, assembled
in, and thereby dosccrntoVl, tho Charleston

Glmrlestou*. gentlbmcu, for the enjoyment of
each other's coaipanyitt ? tho pursuit of ??pleas
ure.' . f-iii 1 dHvr j ??
Atzten minutes past twelve o'clock. T. Hur
ley, whito, delegate from > 'Borkeloy District,
called the COUVCUtioll to 'order, and requested
the spectators to ' withdraw without the bar?
exceptillie representatives of tho pr ph. who
were requested t'? press themselves around the
tables prepared for them." Tho plain delegate
from Bcikely thus brought the convention to
order, ni:d evtnblishrd an indisputable claim to
bo; regarded as the fuiitiy man or harlequin < f
the body.
Thomas J. llohertaoir, white, delegate from'
dliuhluml,-Wus theb unanimously ehosoil tein
jMtrary rhairnhtii', and Wi ,). McKinley, of
Ornngclmrg, requested to act as secretary pro.
i toil). . ? ? I
The rocrerhvy ; r ? ton:, then read iho cr'sl- :
for the assembling of the convention and etil led j
I the list of dolegidds.

iip'poin'lV:il oil permanent organization, wlioso
duty it would be'to report the names of suita
ble persans to fill the offices of the convention.
This ;inotioh gave rise to groat discussion. j
It was filially agreed that the chair should
appoint a committee on certificates of identifi
cation, win) should report who were cut it led to
seats iu tho convention.
15. Odd! Duncan, white. Abrogate Proni New
berry, wished the whole matter postponed un- !
til Tliursihty at 12 o'clock: to give tinio f..r flic [
members'fn beeoinc acquainted with each other, I
and form correct opinions as to win) were Iii
persons to act as officers of the convention.
He was of opinion that a great deal ol Iba sue
cess and influence of the body would depend
upon the nil mini't ration of'thc pre.-ident of the
convention, nnd he wanted ample time given
to the members to make a wise choice.
1j. hL'Jiuigley, delegate from HeanlV.rt. but
a woidly-lieaded negro from tho North, here
1 suggested that the Convention was not iu a
condition to organize, an there was no telling
whether the members who nnsWercil I heir
names wei'e the rial members or not; and he
thought that the members ought tobe identi
fied in Bruno way. This led to more p rot raced
difcns.'ion,during which n great variety of
opinions were expressed, and a nntnber of mo
tions made and amendments'offered.
Th'? committee having retired, it was moved
that t!.,' Convention take a recess for twenty
minutes. This was voted down amid much
laughter as if it was very funny. There being
nothing else to do, a member suggested that
the chairman pro. tern, entertain the convention
witli a speech during the absence of the com
mittee, 'flic chairman not cbnscuting to this
p?stitne, various suggestions wore made I'or dif
ferent members to speak, but none accepted.
The proceedings nt this stage were character
ized by some irregularity and great want of
dignity ?
The secretary pro. tciu., evidently desirous of
preventing the convention from exposing itself
to further ridicule, moved that the convention
t ko a reecss for three quarters of an hour, and
for tho information ol' tho ignorant, he ex
plained that tliiiti quarters of an hour meant,
forty-live.minutes. This motion wasal-o voted
down amid shouts of laughter, as if it was the
extreme of wit,, U) keep tho inumhcrs iu the
room.
At length, to the great relief of those wish
ing to leuve, the hall, a messenger from the
Committee on Credentials appeared, and in
formed the chairman' that the Committee
wished the presence of nj) tho pumibora in the
cuiomijtoolroom, exoppi l||0 chairman and secre
tary pro. lui.i.
This created an nctual, tlioqgh not formal,
ruecss of a^out half ftp ljour, alter which the
Committee ami other niciuherjr.rctiiriiiyg , and
resuming their scats. Ii. (^ijclj Duncan, as
chairman of (ho committee, made a verbal lu
