CoLUi niA, November 24. -The La bor Convention met this evening About three hundred delegates wer p resent--nearly all black, and nost legisliators. The chairman was R. 13 Elliott, colored. The first speaker: were Stamford and Wright, colored and speaker F. J. Moses, jr. They al counselled temperance and modera tion, but did all they could to inflame the passions of their hearers. Mose: significantly reminded the conventior that the negroes had not obliterated by blood shed by negro hands the bloody stains of ages of opprossion. J. J. Wright told the convention that, as long as a few mren held large tracts of land, laborers would be defrauded o: their just dues. He was in favor ol dividing the lands or the profits equal. ly, and wanted to show that the la borers were the equals of and supo. riors of the employers. The Committee on Organiztion nominated R. 13. Elliott, colored, fo president ; F. J. Moses, jr., - Sig wald, W. .. Whipper, It. C. DeLarge W. It. Nash, It. J. Lomax, L. Wimnt bush, colored, and J. H. Goss, white vice-presidents ; A. J. Itansier, color' ed, secretary, and 13. F. Jackson white, asbisttat. A motion to recom in it was made on the ground that all officers were lawyers and politicians and that the workingmen were no' represented, especially the Charleston ftg: horomen. 'turbulent speeches by Elliott, Ran. sier and Whipper followed, in which the longshoremen were denounced as making it a political convention, and their leader as tryiinY tg .r quIaoghLtl sbenes of Military Halt. All the ofli cars named doeclined to serve except Jackson, who was elected. Elliott was then elected president, and T. F. Clark, president longshoremen, vice president. Amid tremendous confu sion, bawling and hooting, the con vention was declared organi.ed, and adjourned. It is reported that Crisvell & Co. will resist the cancelmout of the Biur Ridge contract, on the ground tha their delay was caused by unavoida ble circumstances. The bill to repeal the townbip i.? will doubtless be passed ; there ar< are only five votes against it in the House. In the Senate, Donaldson introduo ed a bill to authorizo the Legislature to purchase the lot ou Meeting street known as the Clubhouse, for Unite< States Courthouse, which received it first reading. Notice was given b: r Arnim of a bill to amend the charto of the C harlott and Augusta Rail road ; by Jillson, a bill to establi.,h a systemi . of free common schools; by Wright, a bill to incorporate th. Pr'ovidenat Life Insurance Company and a bill to regulate pilots and es tablish rates of pilotage. The coin mittee on Railroada reported In favo of the indefinite postponement of th< Port Royal Railroad bill ; a bill de claring that the public debt shall no be increased was laid orn the table: bill to. defline contracts with laborer was postponed ; bills provIding for aln ahtion, defining the powers of jus tlbes of the peace and a'ogulatiug tb practicoa in their courts was post pon ed. At 1lo'lock Governor Bcott seht'li his messago which wtiread and re forred. After which both houssa ad journed. The message opens wvith a flouris ithe unfinished Statehouse, and th~ hope is expressed that the lastros of the brightening prbipgrity < uzr beloved State, of. her unstaine honor and untarnished credit, an may witness the purity, the patriotiui and the wisdom of her counolls, noti her principles are firmly enablishc as the foundlatlons of this edifio6, an peace and prosperity prevail witli liar borders.. A N INonRUiPTInia A DM(NISTlRATION4 HiE FAVo~t8 A REDUCTION of TAXES. F' The Governor then proceeds t boast of thme impdied odih1dition of th f inances of Soath derolina, who)l with wonderful effrontery, be attr butes to the refusal of'the Legislatni to yield to the gentlo influsees of fi dividuals and oorbortiorts sieekjri State aid for raIlroads. Ite virtuou ofadoartoyn fvro exhorts the Legislaiure to pers vto in the Uao norrup courset cheap bid for popularity, in'ithe sa revenue tax (what has Go~v. Sootti dowith that D isflo upn b.t When the present State Govern. mont.came into power we found that the Provisional Government control. ling the State from the close of't1,i war had contracted many debts; for the prompt payment of which, as well as to meet the current, expenses ofthe State Government, it was necessary to provide. Among the liabilities was a floating debt, ;mounting to " $477,965 80. Thia debt was due to varioti ; county officials-sheriffs, mag istrates, coroners and' other claims against the State. By 'authority of law there had also been-:put in circul" tion bills receivable to the amount of $222,000. In addition to this was past due interest on the State debt, which had accrued from lbt July, 1867. All of these vaious amounts have been paid, and the bills receivable re deemed. At the present time there is but a small floating debt that the State Treasurer will be compelled to meet. Owing to these payments the expenses of the State Government wore heavier last year than they will be for tbe pr.sent fiscal year, and the assessment of taxes may therefore be considerably reduced for, the coming year, and the tax burden upon the va rious branches of industry made light er than the taxes of almost any other State. IIIs ACCOUNT OF TIHE STATE DEBT. The leading figures of the State debt are given as follows: Funded debt October 31, 1869, $6 183,349 17 Total assets held on that date, 2,754,660 00 interest falling due dur ing the fiscal year ending October . 31, 1870, 388,693 86 The taxable property he estimates at $190,000,000 00 The Governor adds: During the past fiscal year, at a season, too, when our capitalists, mer chants, farmers, mechanies and others had all their money invented in their various branches of business, a mil. lion of dollars for taxes was received into the State Treasury. To more fully illustrato the ability Qf our peo. pie to meet all necessary taxes:w may refer also to the payment by our citizens into the Federal Treasury, as internal revenue, a tax amounting to the sum of $2,622,690 80-making an aggregate of taxes paid into the State and Federal Treasuries the past year of over three and a half millions of dollars. TILE CREATION OF A SINKING FUND, There are in the State Treasury $2,754,000 of railroad bonds and oth or securities, which I recommend he held and ultimately be used as a sink. ing fund for the liquidation of the State debt, as they are of a class and character which must increase in value. In addition to this, I would suggest the propriety of taking into consid. eration the very able plan devised by J. G. Holmes, Esq., of Charleston, to provide for a small sinking 'fund, by which the entire State debt may be paid off by the redemption annually of a small amount of State soeurities. It is believed that this plan would en able us to pay our entire debt in A few, years, and would convince monied men, at home and abroad, of our do termination to provide for the prompt payment of all our securities as they become due. The State being moveli eign, no action can be brought against it to enforce payment of claims against, her. Its cedit, therefore, 'andi the price of its bonds, depend upon its re .sources, the honor. and good faith of Sthe Stat'e Government. . Thp credit, of the State should be regarded as a sacred trust. PYINs Tihe Governor advooates the polloj of the State paying the interest on iti debt in gold, urging -that this courau would assist very materially in bring ing gold and currency on 4 par. This measure, heo says, woul4 attr~aot fr eign capital and encourage, imnpmgry. tion, and llit the cresdit and a oj~ rdm ty of the State. No' sdetlon ofouha *try he adds, is so well-prepared to'pay -in gold and demanwd gold.'In roetyin - for the products of the soil fernished - to the marketE of the world. - IN5UntANCft oMPAflhE'O ANDl4q4e f The message recommends that' Ah insurance oompanies doing busio~ssdi the State, as well as a.l1 b ~go in~ s titutia other than niational ha Ibe regvmired to deposit with the dowp Itroller General aufeicient *seomuity to protect the policy-.Iolders or deposi' a ors agamnat -lose.

Every effor6 has been. made by the president, General J. W. iar rison, and'other gentlemen interested in the result, bt without securing th: asslstanio hoped for. V were therefore, left to our., own resources believing 'that the lIterests of the people of the State demanded the completion of, the road at as early day as practicable. rho company concluded 'to adver. t ise-f& bida for, its "oonstruc4tid.i 01 the 8th of July last the bids received wprp opnend, and the contract ,award. . to Messrs. CrieswellC ?Co., A new survey and an estimate of the cost of the work had previous to the work, been made by the present engineer. It was then-aseertained that the groat incroasc 'of the cost of such work over the origiqal estimates ni de, it appa. rent that the tout millions of fire mortgage b'nds provided for fell far short of the means necessary., to pom plete it, and that it would require about eight millions of dollars to pa it in running order. The company, impressed with a sense of the impor. tance of putting the work under con= tract, entered into an agreement with Crisswell & Co., contingent on the Legislature indorsing a fuither amount of bonds sufficient to conplote the work. It must be apparent to every member of the body' that. the first mortgage, covering the entire proper ty of 'thq company, and teho work but httl9 more tba}' hlf completed, the whole investment must remain as ded capital until the means are pro. vided to finish the road. In any fail. ure on the part of the company to open communication with the West, the State must, be the sufferer. It would be adding to a direct invest ment alrea-ly made' of a million and a half of money a contingent liability of four millions of dollars, neither of which can be made to meet the accru ing interest without the expenditure of more capital for the completion of the road. One or two plins should be adoptei at once.. 'The ilrstr is to abandon the whole scheme of a direct railroad route to the West, lose the three millions of money invested by the State, the C 4 gf,.harleston and private indivtidua , repeal th a ot of September, 1868, whereby four .mil lion dollars moru of bonds, guaranted by the State, would be sunk, or assist the company in-thoir efforts to com= plete the work, by such means as would be 'valuablato tho, and at the same time not iniire the credit of the State. This the committee, author. ized to make a contract for the prose. cution of the, vork, believed could be dne 'by endorsemen t of the first mort gage bonds of the road by the State to an amount suflicient .to complete and put the road in running order. It their view was incorrect then the whole project, from its inception, was a blunder, and conceived withou: thought as to its cost or the benefits-te be derived by the people of the. State by opening a new avenue to trade and commerce. A railiroad that will not pay the in terest on its cost shield never be een struoted in a ,eduptry., where every well managed road does pay largely. An arrangement was made in the' Er. eeutive Committee that the, company should meet the intoros on the , debti put upon thme market until the roadI wascompleted and put in runningor= der, after which it was believed tha: a lease for a term of years migbi be given, bye wiih tiq, p~ypment of it4 first mortka ~debt and interest couli certainly 'b guaran~teed, therelt leavmg the State w~thongt, .possi i risk of ever laving.to pay onue. dolla~ of, ber endorsed bonds ofs this road Having hitherto taken 'strong groundi 'against'arygbggcgg~ and~against payinmoregisesof.our, tat4 debt thiat would bs :able sto. burdei the people of thowStgte with -heavt taxes, I do not feel &t liberty to'mnkd any'direot tdeomabaedAtonA In,regar( to the'Blue 11 43dgjroahl, mgeh py ,I ppgpe~Oiil% MqjimpQrtatee ;to tb ~develop our r~es 9M4ep muake othe1 roads leading ~o our so 50 vl consider whthey ,thlq.gr4ilt of th: State at t() .repmt taq~Mt1 pri.l ay,. gray~ e. e' ,w e the.fartvhrandorsemaents of -bondsa Ithis time would not in'uriosi3k affee thme value of our pa$is, the marke tas nh asilht s6 fs1 6u~ n Railroad would Al contingent lie coplldto m ilur ofab compaiy. t pgy i p bnau BW4PfIr ,L.A~?s Alj Tl ~AND comgIH S Theso lodu6s of neweLud O ul W aoIi4sO to r o ta 'dIte ion into tracts of eligible size for pur. chasers and occupants. I recommend an additional appropriation to this beneficent uoject, of scouring homes for d'e worthy and industrious me chanio and la orer, which will estab lish many small farmers in the place of the comparatively few heretofore holding that relation, and conse quently will insure the better oultiv. tion of the soil and the expenditure of a greater portion of heir earnings at howe, instead of be ng dislipated in luxury and extravagpoo in distant oitigs. The bonds r ued for the put. pees of the Land Commission must como fisat class scurity, as they will not only have thp credit of the State, but the money arising from the sales of the lands, wl$h their improve pments as an additional guaraptep. The annual. instalments of payments fp r those lands will be ample to meet the interest on them, .as well as to pro vide a sinking fund for their redemp tion at maturity, without the 'possibi lity of having to resort to taxation for that purpose. Their issue, therefore, can have no possiblp. injurious iuiflu. ence on the cefit e the State, but should rather enhance it, as the sub version of large bodies of laud much of it uncultivated, into sraall and productive farms would'at once treble its value and afford an increased bpsls of taxation to the same extent. TH E IOMESTEA n 4UESTION. On. the Subject of homestead relief, the message says : The law scouring a homestead worth one thousand dollars, with the pro. ducts thereof, and five hundred dol .lars worth of other personal property to each head of a family whose pro. perty may be levied upon for debt, continues to fulfil its beneficent de sign, but there is no enffioiept reasons why its benefits should, be restricted to the land-holder. The professional man, the mechanic, the farmer and the laborer, are. equally entitled to its advantages. At present the proprie tor of the homestead way rent out portions of it to the farmer, the me ohanio and the labor; and if by sick ness or misfortuge. th.;'ould get be hind hand, theirre t sea ble to seizure.. ihven the fuod protid ed for his.family may be taken from them, and they expelled from their. humble shelter and exposed to the severities of winter, and all.this while their landlord is enjoying in comfort the munificent bounty of the State. This is neither right nor just, nor in accordance with sound public policy. The poor, the unfortunate and the helpless, should ever be the special objects of public regard. I there fore recommend- to your favorable consideration the propriety of so amending the Homneptead law that its principles should be applied to the laboring classes, and that the person al property of the professional man, the farmer, meochanio and labo.ing man, including their books, tools? im plements, cattle, clothing, furniture and provisions, shall be exempt from seizure and sale for debt to the amount of five hundred dollars. Thi will only be carrying out in good faith the principles estalished. by- the home' stead, and etending to all the bent fits and exenmptions now confined to comparatively few. 1'HJ.

But although in these struggle hitherto the advantage has generall been with the capitalist, the working men, by realising the importance o concentrated effort and of proper or ganization, are meeting their employ ers, on more equal grounds, itsitin that they shall have a voice in deter mining the value of their labor, an in many instances these demands hav been complied with. Success has en couraged others who are pressing t< ward the same goal, and r am cheere in the iope that the day is 'not dii taut when. the employer and epploye will realiser that they are -mutlAll dependent on each other; that 'tb rights of one and the interests of th other are, perfectly compatible an equally deserving of recognition an respect, and that all will acquiesce i the sentiment that a fair day'e. wur is entitled to a fair days' wages. .I communities where the systea of con pulsory labor existed, the antagonids of labor and capital was greatly ag gravatod, the capitalist being the mai to and the laborer his slave, ;whos labok and person alike were under hi control, and who regarded hi bu too frequently only In his legal rele tion -of a chattel, in whom he had n other iptereet and felt no other gym pathy. than the amount of labor b, could. exact from him, or what. h could sell him for in the market.
