Tho Ordinance furthor goes on to declare all

that General Canby be requested to advance

And that the President receive $12.00 per

mileage to and from the Convention. This
Ordinance was passed to n second reading, and
was made the special order for Tuesday at 12
o'clock... yiri y. jo > ii j
The Chairman then stated that he wished
tp.be rojeaved i from- any delicate position in
which lie might be placed during the debate
on the subject of pay and mileage, by explain
ing that when first nominated by his constitu
ency, he had determined not to recoivo any
compensation, on the ground that ns Collector
of the Port, he received a salary from the
United States Government, and he did hot
think it right to receive a compensation from
the cenventiou at the same time either as dele
gate or chairman, and his determination on
that subject was unaltered and unalterable.
I The special order, being the ordinance to
divide Pickcns District, was then called, and
Wright moved its indefinite postponement. L.
B. Johnson called for the ayes nnd noes, and
the call being sustained, the Secretary pro
ceeded to call the roll,?which resulted ayes
38?noes 79.
E. W. McGregor Mnckoy then offered a sub
stitute for the ordinance under consideration.
T. J. Robertson offered an amendment to
tbo substitute, which would merely consent to
tho division of tbo Pickons by the Legislature.
? James M. Rutland, from the Committee on
the-Legislative Department of tho constitution
explained that they were preparing a section of
the constitution which would render this ordi
nance and: all discussion on it unnecessary.
? After some further debate tho amendments
wore lost and the question was put whether the
ordinance should pass to n third rending and
bo engrossed. The ayes and noes wcro called
nnd resulted?ayes G5, noes 49.
It was then made the special order of Wed
nesday; 2 P. M.
K.'W- McGregor Mndkey offered a resolu
tion, to he incorporated in the constitution,
that hereafter land bo sold at sheriff sale in
tracts not larger than ono hundred and sixty
acres' to give nil classes an npportunity to pur
chase. ?
The rules were suspended, and an effort
itiamo to cull the previous question, which fail
ed.-.
T. J. Robertson expressed surprise at the
effort to cut off debate when the delegates did
not understand the question.
DeLargo said ho was surprised at such an
insinuation against the intelligence of the con
vention, and also at any opposition being made,
llo'bclieved that nil were prepared to vote,
and he did uot sec any use to spend more time
and ?money ia its discussion.
Beverley Mash said ho hoped that tho reso
lution would)-pass to give the ittovbrj .McGregor
Mackcy. an opportunity to set himself iright
with>his: constituents. - On Saturday he hud
votco) to/prevent lands from being sold at all,
and now he voted to have the land sold in
small lots.
There was considerable further debate, but
finally tho resolution was amended to read ono
hundred acres instead of ouc hundred und six
ty and referred to the Legislative Committee.
Whittcmorc introduced a resolution to tho
effect'thnt, ns the convention had passed u res
olution to request General Canby to stay exe
cutions, and thus relieve the landholders of the
State, that the convention now request the
same officer to prevent the withholding the
laborers' share of the crop on account of debts
duo from tho laborer to tho employer, and also
to.prevent the enforcement of claims against
laborers for four mouths. Referred to the
Committee on Petitions.
JCho ljour'.Of 3 P. M. having arrived the
chairman declared the convention adjourned.
?tuesday 28tH:
Thc'Toll was called and a quorum being pre
scut the assemblage proceeded to business.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
nnd confirmed.
M'.'Wi M. Mnckey rose to a personal expla
nation, nnd said that he had to opologizc for so
fur'forgetting himself that he hud mado a per
sonal attack on an individual in the house, but
he plead as his excuse the excitement under
which he labored owing to a low nnd scurril
ous attack made upon his father in n certain
dirty nnd indecent sheet, hut while making his
excuse to the convention he had no excuse to
make to tho low and contemptible individual
whom ho justly chastised.
Lnngicy moved that McGregor Mackey's
excuse be accepted. Agreed to.
Bandolph, on behalf of the Committee on
Miscellaneous Affairs, reported that the cum<
mittcc, with two exceptions, were in favor of
the petitioning Congress to continue the Freed
men's Bureau, in this State.
L-muel Boozer, from the Committee on Mis
cellaneous provisions in the Constitution rend
n minority report.

A lottorof resignation wns read from John
K?ffqrry, of Colleton.

McGregor Mackoy, tried to make up for the
loss of tho dog tax bv increasing the, piano

The folly of tho embryo legislator was shown
by several members, and his amendment laid on
the table.,
Aftor much laughable debate on tho subject
of figures, to which Leslie contributed his full
quota, the report waa recommitted and made
tho special order of Wednesday at half-past 1
1?. M.
Jcsso Craig moved that the ordinanco pro
viding for the pay aud mileage of members be
postponed until it was decided in what curren
cy they were going to bo. paid.
T. J. Robertson hoped that the motion would
not prevail, becauso tho Financo Committee
had found uo means to pay the delegates than
iu bills receivable!, and tho nine dollars per
(firm allowed would bring seven dollars and
twenty cents, and that would a great deal more
than pay the expenses of most of the dele
gates.
l'illsbury thought that anything the conven
tion would do to raise the value of the State
currency would only injure, because if the con
vcntioii had pawer to vote a pair of Gabriel's
wings to each white inhabitant of this State,
they would tear those wings from their sockots,
aud continue to plod on foot in the dust of this
mundane sphere.
Robertson said the bills could not go so low
as the delegate from Charleston said, becauso
the provisional and military governments ot the
State acknowledge the legality of the bills, and
receive them at par value, and that there is
more tax due than there arc bills out.
Parker said that if all the taxes due were
paid by the middle of April, all the bills re
ceivable proposed to bo issued would be ab
sorbed.
Bowcn objected to putting f?0 on the record,
and then taking really only 82.HO. It was pro
posed to put ?50,000 in these bills on the mar
kct in the hands of one hundred and twenty
four people. They would depreciate beyond
measure. This was a move of the speculators
to get possession of these bills at a very low
price, aud be hoped that it, would uot succeed.
Whatever he was to get. if it was only i?2.50,
he wanted it correctly stated on the record.
Jesse S. Craig thought that (he issue of
these bills of the State was contrary to the pro
vision in the I.'uitcd States Constitution pre
venting any State from issuing' bil?rflf credit
After' iuuch rnnibliug 'discussion it was
agreed to make the pay of delegates ?11 per
day,'niid that of officers in proportiou.
The hour of throe P. M. haying arrived,
tho assemblage adjourned.

THE ORANGEBURG NEWS^
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1SG8.
While ire reserve to ourselees the right nfdefi
ii im/ our own political position to/ means o f our
editorial columns, ire will he pleased to publish
contributions from our fcllow-citizcns upon the
arnvr. questions which note ae/itate the public
mind, whether their opinions coincide with ours
(/r not. A district newspaper, ire consider,
should be on indc.c of the various shades o f pop ?
ubtr sentiment in the section o f country in which
it circulates. Our columns arc open, therefore,
for ony communications properly written, accom
panied by a responsible name, not personal in
(heir character, nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency.
The Stamp <}m slion
It is important that our people should under
stand the Internal Revenue Laws of the United
States, ns fur ns rcgnrds tho ordinnjy transac
tions of every day business. In Charleston, a
pack of government hounds hnvo boon turned
loose upon the merchants of the city, and they
nre trailing every infrnctinn of tho Stamp Law,
arising from the selling of tho smallest urticlo
requiring by act of n two-cent or four-cent
?.tamp. Several oP the most respectable husi.
ncss houses in Charleston have been indicted
fbr the sale of packages of perfumery, or bottle
of cologne, frunV which the atamphas boeOnie j
rubbed off, or habbceii Otherwise'' accidentally;
removed. TliO detectives there nie Said to
have reported one hundred eases of this kiudj
in ono day-w?nd the Mock et ot^'the United
States Courlis^rowded with theui. These spies
and in formers make a handsome living on their
share of the fines imposed upou conviction,
and thus an unsuspcetiug people uro plundered
by the miuions of a government, which shares
with them the spoils.
It is a striking illustration of the rapid ten
dency of this country from republicanism to
despotism,?this system of ? t:*j>iuniiy<-. We
feel confident that in a few years, no country
of Europe, not even Russia, will be able to
boast of a more porfect secret police, than the
once frco country in which wo live. These
revenue detectives, by an oasy transformation,
will become political spies; sentiments obnox
ious to the party in power will become as grcnt
offences as they now consider the selling of a
proprietary article without a one cent stamp;
and the Courts of justice will bo occupied with
the trial of political misdemeanors, before
patty juries; or, what is worso, tbo mundcto of
some grand or petty despot will consign such
offenders to bastilcs with a jury at all.
Hut it is not with a view of speculating upon
the probable future arising from such a state of.
affairs us now exists, that wo write this article.
It is writtcu with the intention of cautioning
our friends against oue infraction of the Rev
enue laws that is becoming quite common, and
which bears with it its own punishment. We
allude to the practice of giving and receiving
ptoinisary notes without being stamped at the
time. A great many persons think that if the
maker of a note stamps it at any future duy, it
is all right. This is a great mistake. If* a note
is not stamped upon its delivery, there is but
one safe course to remedy the omission, ami
that is tosend it to the Collector of tbo V. S.
Internal Revenue in Charleston, and let him
stamp it in his official capacity. After twelve
months, this privilege ceases ; so that the note,
after that period, cannot be legally stamped at
all, without paying to the government the
penalty, of fifty dollars prescribed by law. For
instance, any person who holds a noto given
previously to 1st February, 18ti7; and since
Octobur, P&'i, v.'..*.J. L pcd. b. s ;..
hands a pi cc of p-,p; r, whli-h is worth nothing
?o him nt all, ir his debtor is disposed to take
-idvanta^e of him, unless he pays fifty dollars
ti> have it stamped according to law.
-Many persons in our community have such
notes, and others arc holding unstamped papers
three, six or eight mouths old, which will soon
he worthless to ibem. If- from carelessness or
peuuriousncss, thuy do not attend to the mat
ter, they will assuredly lose many a good debt.
livery planter in the District should keep on
hand constantly for his own use, at least a dol
lar's worth of two cent and five cent stumps;
and in having pr selling land, it is worth the
trouble of coming to (hangeburg, and getting
fifty cent stamps, before executing and deliver
ing the title.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
A Fracas in the Convention.
I On Monday last, at the clo-e of tho pro
ceedings of the Negro Couventiqn, a row oc
curred, in which the only white delegate hail
iug fi'oui Oiangeburg immortalized himself by
an assault up9ll Roswell T. Logan, Esq.', As
sistant Editor of tho Charleston Mercury.
It appears that tho truth so plainly spoken
*by the Mm un/, concerning the antecedents of
(Albert Cr. Mackey, the father of the n'ntn
(young man, was exceedingly distasteful to them
both; and in order to take revenge for the ox
posuic, young Mackey nuofi an attack upon
Mr. Logan, in the very halls of the Convention
itself, and several blows passed between them.
A more cowardly attack could not have been
made but any other kind would not have been
characteristic of the plain young hero. It
was only in tho presence of a largo mob of
kindred spirits, ready to back him oven to
bloodshed and murder, that the young hero at
tempted n satisfaction that he would not have
dared to exact on fairer terms.
Tho result was that the Convention became
a violent mob, crying out for blood and murder,
and it was only by the strenuous efforts of a
few of the most influential delegates, that vio
lence was prevented. These offorta not only
quieted at lnst tho angry crowd, but they
soothed the irate President, who is said to
have vituperated 'diko a wrathy old woman."
Mr. Logan behaved with tbo most coni
mendiblc self-control; and acted throughout
the whole affair, as became a brave man, and a
gentleman.
