The conventiou yost rday had scarcely
arjoiutned bofut-e the hall was a scone.of
wild excitement, resulting from an assault
by E W N: Macky upon Roswell T Logan,
E., ii issistant editor of tiie (harleaton Mer.

As 0:t eventn tranpired in the presence
of the writor of ti-e pragraplis wo speak

of any other person.
Mdr eLogan was inl coversation witi the
reporter of the News, relating the action of
the couvention on tho -report of the Finanoe
Committee, and in the act of rolling up his
pipers, when Mackey approachel and in.
quired: "Are you .the writor of the atticlo
in the ('harlestOn Aercury concerning my
fathor ?" Mr. Logan repliod.: "I am."
Then, said Mackey, drawing back with a
ciree, '"take that," iand -delivered a blow.
Mr. Logan threw up his arm as a fenoe and
struck back, and at the samo moment was
sieoed by one or two persons neareat to him.
Mackey, being more powerful, although the
atkmpt was also mado to hold him 'y MI.
Whittemore aud others, was not so easily
esrained, and he eucceeded in striking
and kieing onceo or twice, Lut cily one

Mr. Logan, and declared1 that if "any man
struck tho reporter they woul i have to
utriko him,'' doing all that lay in his power
ti queil tho now thily uroaised passion of
the orowd. At this juncture, the presilent
of the convention pushed his way through
the crowd--(it is -;aid with a horsewhip in

account of a similar experiment which -it
was made many y.ears ago by a gentle- ,J
man who -resided in Maryland. The
idea struck him that as .the .fur -trade )
was lucrative .it would do much .better e
to raise animals nearer home than the .J
regions of the North, and accordingly
he purclhad an island .in Chesapeake :p
Bay, stocking it vith the blackest of
black cats. He paid extravagant prices it
fur tIho felines, and all iho boys in the 8
ar:ividnit coitrv went extenivoi.V -into
.ill siness of enbrappiiig unsuspeeling
ommies kiand Tabbies, wiich were im- C
mediately -disposed of aid sent to the ri
aforesaid island.
The gentleman'fotind the cuili were e,
prolific, and was .sooi .compilled to em. ti
.ploy two men to'live on the island and
.fiih with a seiie, in order to supply t.hem o
with food. At finrt tihe -fishermen had ',
qite an easy time, and redily supplied
fish in abundance for their charges; but.
die numnhers ditv iicreased, until whole
It-giois of black lis trooped over thoir e
island home, devotiringt everything in
.the shaipe of' food, and the mew found it q

During the abseice of the messenger, a

the remaining party fearing for his ife, e
