give the rightnof suffrage to every foreigner |
?to every Irishman; though I think that j,
the negro would invarirbly cast his vote
more in the spirit of our Institutions than 1
the.Irish do. .Mr Beecher strongly advo- I
cated the right of women to ypte, holding i
thai their not being allowed to vote was an
evidence of the old doctrine of "superiority"
?of men being soperior to women. 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. Any man who
does not believe in this grand political troth

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"You have repealed the Ordinance of Secession,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

bill shall not be returned to the Governor.
.. ' J ' " '
within two days (Sundays ezoepted) after

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. '

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
