The Convention was called to order by tho President. A resolution was adopted to appoint a comtnittco from each County, to nomiuate suitable persons to represent the State in the National Labor Convention, to be held in Washington City, in December next. The committee recommended the following: Joseph IL llainey, J. J. Wright, W. 1>. Nash, Lucius Wiuibush, colored; Simeon Corley, Thomas J. ^lackey, white. A member from Orangeburg offered a resolution?which Was laid upon the ru ble, after much discussion?that the fol lowing rates of wages be given to labo rers for cultivating cotton and corn: first class, ?15 ; second, 812 ; third, i'd; per mouth; and the laborers shall receive in addition to the above: "J lbs. bacon, j per week, peck corn, quart molasses, pint salt, for his board ; and if working for a ?share of the crop, they shall receive one half of all th? provision crop Hud one third of the cotton raised upon the farm. The planters to furnish all tho farming utensils and sufficient horse power to carry on the fifriu. She Committee appointed to incmori ' alizo the General Assembly, through their Chairman', T. J. Maekcy, submitted the following : The laborers of/the Stale of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, beg leave to memorialize your honorable body, to furnish an appropriate and effectual reined}' fur some of the grievances which the agricultural laborer now suffers at the'hands of the largo majority of bis employers. Wo believe thut there is no ; natural antagonism between the interests of the planter and those of* the laborer j but on the contrary, that fair dealing and a rigid performance of duty on the part of each, will secure the prosperity ol i both. We are. aware thut many of thtf wr mgs to which laborers are subjected are oeyond tho reach of legislation, but must lind their rodross in the organized j efforts of tho laborers themselves, acting unitedly within thu lines of the law, J with a wise regard to the equitable claims of capital and the inalienable rights of labor. Though your honorable body tiro restricted by constitutional limi tations from fixing the rate ol wages, it is within the scope of your authority to insure more fully than at present their speedy mid certain collection ; and. also, by suitable laws, to fouler upon the la borer a greater power of self-protection than he now possesses, 1. That the claim of the agricultural laborer, for wages due, ?hall operate as a preferred Hen upon the laud that he works, and that the planter or owner of said land that he works, shall not sell or alienate the same, until such claim is sat isfied. 'J.. That the Governor shall appoint n discreet :ui1 proper person, in each Coun ty, who shall be designated as ''Commis sioner of Contracts ;" such person slial! be charged with the duty of examining and attesting all contracts between the planter and the laborer, and slull net as advi.-ory counsel of the laborer upon all questions that may arise uudor his con tract. lie shall make a quarterly report to the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, setting forth the number of laborers in his County ; how employed; the rate of wages paid and the names ol planters ami laborers who may have violated their contracts; nil of which shall be laid bo foro the Goucral Assembly, at the com mencement of each session thereof, and shall be published for general informa tion, li. That suits,* of all clashes of laborers or employees, for wages due them, shall h ive precedence on the calendars of the courts, over all other civil suits, and shall be heard tit the first term of the court, after the declaration of the plain tiff in the same shall have been filed ?1 That the Governor shall bo author ized to appoint in caoh County an officer, whose dul)' it shall lie to make up the list of jurors and superintend tlie draw ing ol the same, in order that the labor ing classes may have a fair representation on tho juries?n privilege which is prac tically denied them in the rural districts, under the operation of the present sys toriY ft. That when lands arc sold under ex ecution, the Sheriff shall divide them as nearly as practicable into tracts not ex ceeding fifty acres each, in order that the small capitalists may bo enabled to pur chase. Wo believe that tbis measure will greatly facilitate the acquisition ef land by the landless, and that it can bu rendered legally practicable, by provid ing that tho decree of sale in each case shall dechiro that only so much ot the dohtor's land, or tho subdivisions there of, shall bo Hold ns may bo necessary to satisfy the judgment. C. That all due bills given by planters to laborers shall specify in terms the special consideration for which the same shall have been given, and shall be trans ferable at the option id' the holder, a id shall operate as a lien upon the crop and laud, whenever such due bill is given in lieu of payment for agricultural labor. That nine hours shall he a lawful day's work for all mechanics and laborers en gaged in manufactures, or in any busi- j uess requiring skilled labor. 7.

The Mean Man who got Converted, BY THE "PAT CONTRIBUTOR." There was a great revival in Iho region where Ohl Smithers, as everybody called him, lived, and it took hold of htm one day. Smithers was a dread I ul mean man. oppressive to the*poor and all that, and never paying a debt if he could help i(. lie had been known to turn a poor widow with a family of smnll children j oul into the street of a cold winter's day,* because .she was unable to pay the rent of I he miscrablo shanty she had of him.

Alter"!.is conversion be was announced to address lib fellow-sinncru and sinner esses on the Following Sunday afternoou. The news that < \>\ Smithers had got re ligion spread all a . >ut the neighborhood. Some doubted iL; -aid he was putting it on so as tu skin folks a little closer; others more charitable, said it might be true, and they hoped lie would not be so t . to in the inturc, if it was. When Sunday afternoon arrived the church was crowded. The entire neigh borhood turned oul to hear what so mean a man ns Old Smithers would say for himself after passing through conviction and conversion. All was still in the cburt h when t lid Smithers arose to speak !ie began by toiling what a mean man he had been all hi.> lifo. Iloaaid he had probably done moro mean things than I any man of Ids. years' and opportunities living, and if there was any muuu thing tie hnd failed to d ?. it w as cither because Iki hadn't thought of it. or there was no good chance. After going somewhat into detail regarding his meanness, as tonishing even those who thought they !.:icw him best with tho recital, und de claring his utter unworthiuess, he re sume I his seat. '1 here was a brief pause, after which a ? neighbor of Old Sinithcrs, a member of tho church, arose and said: "I have lived nigh neighbor to Brother Smithers lor a long time. I have just listened to Brother Smithers' remarks, and tin iu I limate acquaintance with him and his actions f v many years, I am prepared to indorse, i-: the fullest manner, nil tho charges he has made against himself, ?and more too.

A Slight Mistake.?A gentleman i of unquestioned respectability went home ; lute yt night. The moon was shining brightly, and after entering the gate in approaching the bouse, he was surprised to see the figure of a man rise suddenly and face him. The circuit.static was well I calculated to make any one tremble. Burglars and robbers were in the city. It was reasonable to sr.} pose this was one. Put tho gentleman has always understood ti.at in such emergencies it was always best to put on a show of courage even if you didn't feel any. To this end ho put bis hand in his pocket, and then withdrawing it, extended it j towards the supposed outlaw :u 11 bo bad a pi.-tol in it and meant to shoot him. The man did the same. NoWj tho gentle man was only making believe be bad a pistol, for h? bad noise ; but be was not certain that the intruder was equally deficient in fire-arms. On 'the contrary, he thought he was urtncd, and the jdecly glitter of a pistol he was sure was Hashing before his eyes. His hair bristled with horror, and he cried out. ^ "Stop, you rascal, don't shoot, don't shoot." But stili tho arm was extended, and the fear of death was heavy upon the gentleman. He .shouted murder, tin. ves and robbers! The loud outcries of the frightened j citir.cn aroused his wife, who came rush iug to the door, terror-stricken, inquiring the Cause of the alarm. "Why. that rascal is going to .-hoot me !" ? ? ! "What rascal, my dear?'' inquired the lady. "There, don't you hoc him V' pointing, to the siill silent figure. ??Why. my dear, tlmt'. your shadt . .'
