He held that the right of suffrage must eventually be universal in this country, and recog-' Blued in this a grand principle which is already pervading all nations.

This body adjourned rnie die, on Wed >esday, of last week, after a harmonious lession of fifteen days. Quite a number of adical ohanges have'been made in onr form )f government, which we earnestly hope may result in pood to the State at large. What the Convention has done, is dearly set forth in the subjoined extract from a message of Governor Perry, sent into that tody on the last day of the session. After :ongratul8tiog the Convention upon the termination of its labors, the Governor says: "You have repealed the Ordinance of Secession, abolished slavery, equalized the representation in the Senate, given the election of Governor to the people, expressid your judgment in regard to the election of Presidential Eleotors by the people, established equal taxation throughout the State, and declared the responsibility of the representative to his oonstituenoy by viva voce voting in the Legislature." "You have endorsed the administration of President. Johnson, and pledged yourselves to oo-operete with him in "the wise, measures he has inagurated for scouring pea to and prosperity to the whole Union." And. you have referred to a Commission the protection of the "Preedmap" and colored utnnlai.inn nf thn State, whose bminflfu it will be to submit to the Legislature a wise oode of laws to regulate the relative duties of the employee and employer." We did uot receive a oopy of the new Constitution until after the outside of outpaper was in type, an 1 are consequently unable to lay it before our j^adprs this week. We will undertake^bnwever, to give a synopeia of the cjjJHtfges whioh have been made, togetbep^ith an outline of the provisions of tb/fonner Constitution, by whioh^J^lnore important ohanges oan be reajltfy perceived. ELECTION DISTRICTS. The former Constitution provided for forty b?e Eleotion Districts, of whioh nine were in the Judipial District of Charleston,, three in Colleton, four in Beaufort, two iu Georgetown, and two in Orangeburg, thus illowijg those five Judical Districts au aggregate representation of twenty one Senators, viz: ten in Charleston, three in Colleton, four iu Beaufort, and two in Orangeburg, while the other Judicial Districts in the State were only entitled tq one Senator each?thus practically giving to the five District* mentioned, a balance of power and control of the poiioy of the State. The amended Constitution provides for thirty one Election Districts?two in Charleston Judicial District?one of which is designated as the election district of "Charleston," and the other,, composed of that portion of the 'Judicial District, outside of the oity limits, and to be known hjLthe name of "Berkeley,"?thus giving Charleston Judioial District two Senators. Every other Jodioial District in the State is an eleCtion- District, and entitled to one Senator each. ' REPRESENTATION IN THE HOUSE. No change of oonsequenoe has been made in the representation in the House, nor will there be, until an enumeration of the white inhabitants of the State is made, which will not be done until the year eighteen hundred and sixty-nine. ItT is provided, however, that not more than .?i? t? ..MJ iweivo xvepreseuiaiiveB iu nuj yjiuiwvument, shall be assigned to one eleotion District. Representation in the House is based on white population and taxation as heretofore. The present qualification for a seat in the House of Representatives is, that the member shall be a free white man^ who has attained the age of twenty-one years, has been a citizen end resident of the State three years next preoeeding the day of election, and has been for the last six months of the time, and shall continue to be, a resident of the Distriot which he is to represent. The former Constitution required, in cases where the member wasaresident of the election district, that he should have attain? ?. - ji ' * ed the age of twenty-one yean, been a resident of the State for three yean prea vious to the eleotion, and to be legally seized and posseessed of a free-hold estate therein, of five hundred pounds sterling, dear of debt It also provided, that a' non-resident could represent an eleotion Distriot if he should be legally seized and possessed of a freehold estate therein of the value of five hundred pounds, sterling, dear of debt. ^UAlilliUAllUnO XUtt OAXIAXUn. The qualifications now required for a Senator, are, that be slj.aH be a free white man of Che age of thirty years, been a resident of the State for five , years next preceding the day of election; and for the last six months of the time, and shall continue to be, a resident of the District which he is to represent. Heretofore the requirements were, when he was a resident of the election District, that he be a free white man of the age of thirty years, a oitizen of the State for five years preceding the eleisliqn, and legally seized and possessed in his own right, rifr a settled freehold of the vi due of three hnn- l . s dred pounds felling,dear of debt. Id oases where he wanaaot^a ^iandeot of the election district; it was reqaisite that be be seized and possessed, in his own right, of a settled free hold estate in the Distriot which he represented,' of the value of one thousand pounds, sterling, clear of debt. QENEglL ELECTIONS. . The former Constitution- reanired that elections for Senators and Representative?, be held on the Tuesday after the second Monday in Ootobor, in eaoh second year. The present Constitution provides that the elections shall be held on the third Wednesday oi October, in every other year. The Qeneral Assembly is to meet at Columbia, annually, on the fourth Monday in November as heretofore. No obange has been made with reference to the mode of elections, exoepfc so for as the Governor and Lieutenant Governor are oonoerned. Officers who were heretofore eleoted by the Legislature, will be so elected hereafter, and those by the people are yet vested in them. Sheriffs are disqualified from holding their offices two terms in suooesslon as heretofore. ELECTIONS BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. TKa nroaonf DAnntlfnhnn Avnni^na tfc.tin ?.uv vvfiobi?uiiiyu |;ivf tu?o vuau iu all eleotions by the General Assembly, or either House, the members shall vote "viva voce " and that their votes, thus.given shall be entered apon the journals of the House to whieh they respectively belong. Heretofore the mode of voting has been by secret ballot. PAT OF MEMBERS. Formerly, the members of the Legislature received oat of the publio treasury, for their expenses during their attendance on, going to and returning from the General Assembly, three dollars for eaeh days attendance ; and ten cents for eaoh mile of the ordinary route of travel between the residence of the members and the place of sitting of the General Assembly. The new Constitution provides that they shall receive five dollars per day and twenty-cents per mile, going and returning. MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL in the present and former Constitution are disqualified from holding a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives. The new Coq9titqtion, also declares (hem ineligible to the office of either Governor or Lieoten* ant-Governor. THE GOVERNOR. Tbo former Constitution provided for the eleotion of Governor by the Legislature, every two years, and to render any one eligible to the position, required that he be thirty yem of ?ge, resident and citiznn of the State for" ten years, and that he be seized and possessed of a settled estate within the same, in his own right, of the yelne of fifteen hundred pounds, sterling, clear of debt. It also provided that having served as Governor one term, he was not re-eligible to the same office until the expiration of foor yean. Under the present Constitution, the Governor is to be eleoted by the electors qualified to voj^s for members of the Houseof Rep. sentatives?shall hold his office for foor years, and shall not be ^re-eligible for two consecutive terms. Eligibility for the offioe consists in having attained the age of thirty years, and been a resident and citizen of the State; fbr ten yean preeeding the day of election. . The Governor is By the new; and was by the old Constitution, invested with the pardoning power. The new Constitution, provides, however, that he shall report to the General Assembly, aU pardons granted by him, with a fall statement of eaoh case, and the reasons therefor. * Under the former ConsitUtion he empowered to oonVeoe the Legislature in extra session on extraordinary oooasions, and and in ease of disagreement between the two Houses as to the tiuf& of adjoornment, ad jonrn them to snchtfme as he shdnld thipk proper, not, "however, beyond the [fourth Monday in November ensuing. The new Constitution confers on him the same powera, and in addition, that he may adjourn the Legislature should either Boose-remain without a quorum for three days. Hetetofbre, the Governor has been required to reside during the sittings of the Legislature -whereyer that body may be iniseseion ; and allowed at other times to reside wherever, in his opinion, tho public good might require. The present Constitution requres him 16- reside during the sittings of the General Assembly wherever they may be held, and vests in the LegiBtyure the power to require "his permanent residence at ii%A sUa Q^?4A mc UapilUl ill IUD UMIU. The Seotioa in the old Cooatitntien which give the Governor power to prohibit the exportation of provisions for any time not exoeeding thirty days, is omitted in the new. fl? ^ * . I THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, , Under the formerConstitntion, the Lien, tenant-Governor was chosen in tHe same .manner as the Governor, for the same period, and required the Bame qualifications. In case of the impeachment of the Governor, his removal from office, death, resignation or femovial from 4the State, the Lientenant Governor sncoeeded him.' Hereafter, the Lieutenant-Governor will be ohoeen by the people, in the'same manner as the Governor, continue in offioe for the same period, and requires the same qnalifications. In case of the death, &e., of the Governor, he wUhsneoeedto the Governorship. While Lientenaht-Govetilor, he will sot as President of the. Senate, bat is not entitled to vote on aDy question .unlessr the Senate bet equally divided. Should the Lieutehant4>overaor be absent or become Governor, the Senate is authorized to ohoose a President pro tempore. The Constitution provides that the Lieutenant-Governor shall receive a compensation for his services, thh amount to be fixed by the General'Assembly. No compensation has been allowed him heretofore. VETO POWER OP THE GOVERNOR! Under the old Constitution, it was required, in order to give a Bill or Ordinance the .force of law, that it shall have been read three tiqoea, on three several, days in each House, have the great, seal affixed to .4 (l. Q D.? .L . iij iuu di^ucu iu i?uo oeHiiic-nuuae uy uib President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. It addition to this, it is now reqoired that before any Bill shall beoome a law it must fee-presented to the Governor. If he approve it, he shall sign it; but if not, he mast return it with hia objections to that House In whioh it originated,- who shall enteT the objections at large oh their journal and proceed to re* consider it 'If'-after snoh reconsideration a majority; of jhe whole representation of that Honse agree to pass the Bill, it most then be-sent, together with" the objections to the other Honse, by whioh it shsll likewise be reconsidered, and if approved, by' a majority of thevjrhole representation of that other .'Horn* it shall beoome ? law. In all snoh eases the "votes of both Honse most be determined byyeaa and nays, and the .names of the persona voting for and against the bill sball be entered on thejoornal of each House respectively If any bill shall not be returned to the Governor. .. ' J ' " ' within two days (Sundays ezoepted) after it has been presented to bim, the same will become a law in like manner'as if be bad signed it. In order that time may be allowed the Governor to consider bills passed by the .General Assembly, neither House is permitted to read any bill on the last day of its session except flilch bills" as have been returned by the Governor. ' ?QE JUM<n4SY. . iD the State remaiBB as heretofore, .except the General Assembly is required to'establish, as soon as possible, in eaoh District iu tbe State, a Court inferior to our present tfourt of Common Pleas, to be styled the "Distriot Court." -The dodge of this Court, while in offioe, is to be a resident of the District where be elected by the General Assembly, hold % ? ?? r? ?: 2SKSS.
