The President stated that the only Committee in existence was the State Central Committee, and called upon Mr. C. C. Bowen, for his report? That person stated that it was not yet prepared, bat would be ready at the next session. A motion was then made to adjourn, when some small sparring took place, and the Convention became thoroughly snagged among the parliamentary motions that followed, but, after a while, the craft swung clear, and the body adjourned to meet at eight o'clock P. M. There are few white men present, except spectators?probably not more than ten or twelve, and, with two or three exceptions, they do not wear physiognomies which predict their fitness for the extraordinary greatness which they seem to think is about to be thrust upon them. CoL Thomas J. Robertson, and Mr. U. H. Baldwin, both of Columbia, are gentlemen of wealth, and probably will commaqd much influence among the negroes; -T .T> UnninsM TTnitpA RfotoO lYfflrshn) Thp TP maining few may be classed under the general head of the briefless lawyers, innocent Northern schoolteachers, and one or two ambitious lads. I do not think they will deceive any intelligent colored man. EVENING SESSION. The Convention re-assembled, and was called to order at half-past 8 o'clock. After the reading of the journal setter, emanating from the Union Reputuican CoWressional Executive Committee, introducing William J. Armstrong to the Convention, and to the colored societies of the State, was read. Thereupon Mr. Armstrong was invited to rise and show himself, and, on motion, was elected an honorary member of the Convention. R. B. Elliot, a colored man from Massachusetts, and formerly associate editor of one of the freedmen's papers in Charleston, was also elected an honorary member. An invitation was extended to Gen. Burton, the commandant of the Post, to occupy a seat upon - the platform, but General Burton was not in the hall * The Committee on Credentials, to whom had been referred the papers of delegates who arrived once the morning session, reported the following: Abbeville?Henry Lagee. * Sumter?Rev. James Smyle, Rev. W. E. Johnson, Rev. J. G. Burrows. Newberry?B. Odell Duncan. Clarendon?Elias E. Dickson, Wm. McDowal]. The report of the State Executive Committee was read and acoepted. Mr. Gillison (white) moved that the Committee be discharged. Thereupon a lively and somewhat pointed discussion ensued, in which the delegates from the low country took an active part. At this juncture the gas lights suddenly disappeared ana the hall was left in utter darkness.? Whether the misfortune was owing to a fault in the meter, or the'freak of some mischevious boy. did not appefcr, but the circumstance was deemea of sufficient importance to necessitate the appointment of a Committee to wait upon General Burton and ask for a guard. In five minutes, however, the gas again responded to a touch of a lighted match, and the deliberations were resumed. A point was raised, in which Mr. Whipple, (colored )^ brbught to .the attention of the Convention that it was necessary to elect offioers to succeed the present incumbents, and to receive from them all funds now held in their hands. Mr. Wilder, (colored), submitted a resolution that a committee of one from each District be appointed to select officers for the Convention?as there were now a number of Districts- represented bere that had no representation in Charleston. After some discussion the resolution was adopted and a Committee appointed. The Committee retired, and in a short time returned, when the ' following persons were recommended and elected as officers: President?R. H. Gleaves (colored). Vice-PresidSnts?C. M. Wilder, Col. T. J. Robertson, Richland; GilbertPillsbuiy, J. N. Hayne, Charleston. * Secretaries?E. Dixon, Clarendon; Robert Howard, J. EL Sasportas, Orangeburg. Chaplain?J. Brockington. It being now after midnight, the Convention adjourned to 10 A. M. to-morrow. The correspondent of the Mercury says The white delegates, as far as I can learn their names, are J. P. M. Epping, G. Pillsburry, E. W. M. Mackey, and C. C. Bowen, from Charleston ; G. W. Leslie, from Barnwell; J. R. Gillson, from Kershaw ; Lemuel Boozer, from Lexington; B. F. Whittemore, from Darlington, and T. J. Robertson, from Richland. All or them, with the exception of Bowen and Robertson, are employees of the United States Government in one way or another. Epping is United States Marshal, Pillsburry is a Bureau teacher, Mackey has some office in die Internal Revenue, Leslie is a detective, Gillson is a Bureau teacher, Boozer is a Registrar, and Whittemore is a Bureau Agent Some of the colored delegates are Northern men, but I am not prepared to say what proportion they bear to the Southern delegates. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Convention was called to order about 11 o'i clock. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Brockinton. The k minutes of yesterday were read and confirmed. * The following additional members appeared, presented their credentials and were admitted to seats viz: Abbeville?H. J. Lomax. Newberry?James Henderson, Simeon Young, Mafthpw Grav. Josenh Burton. Orangeburg?Rev. Thos, Phillips. A Finance Committee was appointed, and the President called on all persons, without regard to - party, to contribute liberally towards the expenses of the Convention, as they would thus hasten that reconstruction which is so much desired by all good citizens. After some discussion relative to the re-organization of the Executive Committee and State Central Committee, the whole matter was referred to a Committee consisting of Messrs. Whittemore, Delarge and Duncan. A motion was then made to discuss the platform, section by section, which was agreed to, and an animated and somewhat personal debate ooearred. Objection was made to adding the word "Radical" to the title of the organization?some members objecting, on the ground that the term was not thoroughly understood, and to insert it was impolitic. This was replied to, with the assertion that as free schools would soon be established, parties might become enlightened. Another subject which elicited considerable discussion, was the apportioning of lands, the asser^ tion having been made that immense bodies of unPT productive and idle lands were an actual injury to I any country; the number of acres of that class in r this State being mentioned by a delegate from [ Charleston; he was in favor of taxation on the Swedish plan; if land owners could not, or would not, cultivate their lands, he thought a heavy tax ' ' should be put on such lands, and thus force the owner to dispose of a part of thein, at least?sc that they could be divided up into small farms, which, being properly cultivated, would enhance J the value of the rest. A member who had traveled extensively in this State, asserted that such i Jfe. law was unnecessary ; he had found more planter j?p and land-owners who were disposed to sell surplu lands, than he had found purchasers; they wen j willing to sell to colored men, foreigners, or am one else; besides, it was a subiect belonging exclu sively to a legislative body. A delegate from Fair field said, that with equal propriety a resolutioi could be introduced, to the effect that as larg< houses or palaces in cities were useless, and as per sons often occupied houses in which there were i number of vacant rooms, they should be compelled to dispose of them; the principle was the same. PLATFORM. The following is the platform as it finally passed 1. That in order to make the labor of all oui loyal fellow-citizens more effectual for carrying ou | the provisions of Congress, for the restoration o L law and order in ear State, as well as for the peac< [ and prosperity of our entire country, we, the peo I pie of South Carolina, do form ourselves into j ' ? ' l- i.?^ political organization, to UO nuunu as uic vuiui Republican party of South Carolina, j 2. That as republican institutions cannot be pre served, unless intelligence be generally diffused a mong all classes, we will favor a uniform system o free schools and colleges, which shall be open t< all. 3. That we will favor a liberal system of publi improvements, such as railroads, canals and othe works, and also such a system of awarding con tracts for the same as will give all our fellow-citi zens an equal and fair chance to share in them. 4. That as large land monopolies tend only t make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and ar ruinous to the agricultural, commercial and socii interests of the State, the Legislature should offc | * every practicable inducement, for the division an sale of unoccupied lands among the poorer classes and as an encouragement to immigrants to settle i our State. 5. That the interests of the State demand a r< vision of the entire code of the laws and the re-oi ganization of the courts. 6. That it is just and proper that taxes shoul be ad valorem, and proportioned to the property < the citizens. I 7. That the ballot being the surest safeguard of the rights of the citizen, all executive ana legislative offioers of the State should be elected by the people; therefore, Resolved, That, in our opinion, a purely republican government is maintained only by making our rulers responsible directlv to the people by frequent elections?not by the Legislature, but by the people themselves; therefore, Resolved, That the delegates we shall send to the Constitutional Convention about to be called by the Commanding General, be instructed to so frame our new Constitution, that the Governor and Council, Senators and Representatives of the State Legislature, and all subordinate officers, except those of the Judiciary Department, be chosen by the people, to hold their respective offices, not for two years, but for one year. And that, in the cIection of President and Vioe-President of the United States, chosen every four years, the electors} as thev are now in every other State in the Union, shall be chosen by the people directly, and not by the members of the Legislature. 1 8. That the poor ana destitute, those aged and infirm people, houseless and homeless, and past labor,-who have none to care for them, should be provided for at the expense of the State; and that, in the reconstruction of our Government, we will see to it that they are not neglected and forgotten. 9. That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew Johnson is, in its effects upon the loyal people of the South, unjust, oppressive and intolerable; and accordingly, however ardently we desire to see our State once more restored to its proper position in the Union, we would deplore restoration on any other conditions thau those prescribed by the for- i tieth Congress, to which we give our cordial and entire sanction, believing the principles enunciated by tbe Jttepubiican party, tnrougn tnat congress, to be just and wise. 10. That the adverse discrimination towards the agricultural laborers of the Southern States, as manifested by the enormous tax on cotton, is unjust and oppressive, and should be abrogated at the earliest practicable momeqt. 11. That we sincerely exult in the fact that, as a , nation, we are now absolutely a nation of freemen, and that, from the St Lawrence to the Rio Grande, j and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the sun no longer shines upon the brow of a slave. 12. That a wise care for the public safety sometimes renders it necessary that those who have sought resolutely to overthfbw a Government, should not hastily be restored to the privileges of which they have deprived themselves by their | crime of treason?certainly not until they have shown evidence of sincere repentance, and a dispo- ; sition as energetically to support as they - have in times past sought to destroy the Union : and that we consider willingness on the part of tnese men ; to elevate to power the men who preserved unswerving adherence to the Government during the ( war, as the best test of sincerity in professions for , the future. . ^ \ 13. That we will not support any candidate for office, who will not openly endorse the principles adopted by the Union Republican party; and that , we pledge ourselves to stand by the regular nomi- ( nation of the party, without any reservation whatever. The Committee on the appointment of a State Central Committee submitted a report, recommending that a committee of one from each District be appointed by the Chair, to nominate a State Central Committee, which shall be composed of one member from each Election District; the said oommittee to be controlled by an Executive Committee, consisting of President and VicePresident, Secretary and Treasurer, to be nominated at large by the Nominating Committee. The member from each District, to be chairman or member ex officio of a District Committee, as said committee may decide; said committee to be composed of one member from each election precinct within the District; the members of the District Committees to be chairmen of the several Precinct Committees organized from members of the respective precincts. The committee hereby ap? Lrt Li? in'nfMiAtiAno A-nm pUUIlCU UC ^UVCIUCU UJ UIOU UOV1UUJ 11VU1 the St$te Executive Committee, and report their action to their several presiding officers monthly. The President appointed the following members of the Central Committee: E. G. Dudley, Beaufort; G. Pilsbury .Charleston T. J. Robertson, Richland; B. F. Randolph, Orangeburg; H. E/1 Hayne, Marion; J, K. Gibson. Kershaw : E. _P. Stoney, Barnwell; Samuel Johnson, Anderson; John W. Mead, York; Vining, Colleton ; Rev. E. Barton, Chester; Joseph White. Sumter; Rev.

Shackelford, Georgetown. W. Wright, (a colored lawyer) offered the following preamble and resolutions: Resolved!, That it is the sense of this Convention that the interest of the country, of the Republican party, and especially of the South, requires that the colored man, who has contributed so much to the success of the war, on a hundred battle-fields, shall be represented by one of his own race on the next Presidential ticket of the Republican party. Resolved, That in all our political discussions, we keep this matter fully in view, knowing its importance. to the progress of our race and party, and that we recommend other Conventions of this character to adopt similar resolutions. Resolved, That these resolutions be considered by the Convention at large, without reference to a committee. In advocating the adoption of his preamble and resolutions, the author stated that parties at the North, who had perilled their all for the benefit of his race, had been agitating this matter for a length of time. He contended that his brethren had acquitted themselves well in every position which tney had occupied?equallyas well, in fact, as the former dominant race. He asserted that the men referred to above had led in this matter, and the colored race should not shrink from push ing the movement on, until they were allowed to sit in the councils of the nation. For these reasons, he had penned the resolutions. He declared that the originators had even pointed to an individual?a Western man; and that it was right, proper and just. He believed that it was a wise and judicious matter, to be considered in their asi semblies. It would arouse and prepare the masses of the people at the South to occupy such a position ; would animate and stimulate the race, and ! would act as a stimulus to their efforts. He hoped i that his remarks would be carried home to the hearts of his hearers. . . Mr. DeLarge, (colored) was opposed to the matter, and would vote for the best man, regardless of color. He hoped that, at this stage of the pro, ceedings, the Convention would not condescend to bring the matter up. He believed the resolution would be voted down, as it was a dangerous ques , tion to spring at the present time. 1 Pending the discussion, the Convention adjourn; ed, to meet this morning, at 10 o'clock. \ third and last dat. , The Convention assembled about half-past 10 i o'clock. After prayer by Rev. David Pickett, the journal was read and confirmed, i A communication was received from Mr. L. 3 Boozer, of Lexington, regretting that the state of 3 his health prevented his attendance at the Conveni tion. He fully endorsed the movement, and rei gretted the disruption of the Union ana the late - bloody war consequent. The letter was filed a mong the archives of the Convention. l The Committee on Nomination, through their ; Chairman, reported the following executive board. i President?B. F. Whittemore.

Its great idea of entire equality for all in the eyes of tne law, regardless of race or color, I most heartily endorse. JBut there has been a spirit of violent radicalism manifested in the Convention of South Carolina, that I regard far from the principles of the party we are expected to act with, and whose principles we ought simply to have adopted. There are several articles in the platform which I consider simply impolitic, and more likely to injure the party than to benefit. I believe the policy of the Convention should have been one of moderation and conciliation, instead of one of violence to open old wounds. But if Article No. 4, once defeated and then brought up again at a more favorable time, means anything, it means what no lover of law, order and iustice to all men can possibly sanction. As it would be impossible for me to pledge myself to support any man as a candidate who endorsed the principles of spoliation indicated in that article, I feel that I cannot, consistently with Article No. 13 of the platform, remain a member of the Convention. I therefore very respectfully request that my name be struck out Most respectfully, your obedient servant B. 0. DUNCAN, of Newberry. Columbia, Friday, July 26, 1867. ? f* A.i A-J . 1 xne letter 01 resignation was aouepweu, wiich me President stated in reply, that he was glad the Convention had such a platform that no Judas can remain. The Committee on Finance reported that the expenses of the Convention amounted to only |36.25?$35 for rent of hall and $1.25 for stationery a thai che collections amounted to $46. The Convention then adjourned sine die. Representation from the Rebel States.? Mr. Mason, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa, in an able letter, says: But the right of a rebel State to representation is no longer an open question. It has long been settled by the acquiescence of the very men who now, fot purposes of their own, most vehemently deny such right The State of Virginia was represented in the Senate of the United States throughout the war, Not Western Virginia iBnly, but old Virginia, the back-bone of the rebellion, the foremost among all the revolted States in furnishing men and njoney and generals for the war ; and yet at the very lime when her Lees and her Johnstons, her Jacksons aud her Stewarts, her Ewells and her Mosbys, were braving and often defeating our armies in the field, invading the loyal States, placing the capital of the nation in jeopardy, ana causing our chief officials to keep an eve to the means of their own escape?while all this, I say, was being done, there sat John S. Carlisle in the Senate chamber, the representative of that same Virginia, voting, consulting, debating?the peer of the Sumners and Wades of that body, with his Beat just as unquestioned as theirs?until the end of his term of office, in March, 1865, when the war was virtually at an end. It is not now too late, with any show of consistency, to raise the qustion of right of representation, now that the war is over, now that the rebellion is effectually crushed, now that not a hostile gun has been fired, nor a hostile arm raised, for more than two years: now that Virginia is as peaceful as Ohio, and South Carolina as "loyal" as Massachusetts, and as little likely to engage in rebellion against tne Federal Government; now that throughout the length and breadth of the South there goes up one general and fervent wish for the return of peace, and order and fraternity, and union. The men who have seized upon the absolute control of the Government at Washington, are the only obstacles to the immediate advent of returning peace, and union, and prosperity. Tennessee Affairs.?Washington advices of the 29th ultimo, state that Gen. Grant has ordered additional troops to Tennessee, and ordered Gen. Thomas to distribute his forces so as to secure order. Gen. Grant will probably be there himself. Official as well as private accounts represent that there is great danger of outrages in all parts of Tennessee on Thursday, the day of the elections.. r Hgmnteal. -x Married?On Tuesday, 23d ultimo, by Rev.

PHILADELPHIA TT5IVBB8ITY, OF MEDICINE AND 8URG1CKV. flXHE Philadelphia University' of Medicine and X Surgery was organised in 1848. Chartered by the Legislature, February 28,1863. Name changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical College of Philadelphia in I860. In 1868 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical College, established in 1812, and the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been merged intp. the Pennsylvania Medical College. .In 1864 it purchased the Penn Medical University. The Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned, and obtained a special act of the Legislature, consolidating these institutions and rhswgtngtfifliriiatnae to that of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, March 16, 1866. , All these vaClous acts are published in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the building and museum was over one hundred thousand dollar^. It will be observed that the University, as now organized. Is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that it has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical clique; but embraces in its teachings everything or value to .the profession. Sessions.?It has two full sessions each, year, commencing on the 1st of October, and oononuincr nntfl th? Ixtnf .Tonimrv iui It* flmtifltuion. and from the 1st of January to the 1st of April as ite second; the two constituting one fall oonrse of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing the 1st of April and oontinuing until August for the preparatory branches, such as Lattn,Greek, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, etc. ' - ; Tickets.?'Tickets to the frill oonrse of lectures $120, or $00 for each session. For the summer or preparatory course $25. Graduating fee $80. To aid young men of moderate meant, the University has issued Jive hundred scholarships, which are sold to first course students, for $75, and to second course students and clergymen for $50.-each, constituting the holder a lite member, with the perpetual privileges of the lectures, and all the teachings of the school. The only additional fees are a yearly dissecting and matriculating ticket, each of The Advantages of Scholarships,?The student holding a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the institution as frequently as desired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition fees are saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prosecuta other business a part of the time. The candidate lor graduation can present himself at any time,and receive his degree as mm as qualified. In case a student should hold a scholarship and not be able to attend lectures, it can be transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians, or friends of stodsnte wishing to purchase scholarships for them a,year or more before their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half the prioe, and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow great benefit uapn poor yonngmen, by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them too?&iB an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. The University has associated with it a large hospital clinic, where every form of medical and surgical disease Is operated on and treated in thepresenceof the class. College Building.?The College building, located in Ninth Street, south of 'Walnut, Is the fimbt In the city. Its front is collegiate gotbic, and is adornea with embattlements and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold and beantifnlsppearanoe.? The facade is of brown stone, ornamented by two towers, rising to the elevation of eightyfeet, and crowned with an embattled parapet, The building contains between fifty and sixty rooms, jdl i supplied with water, gas, and every other oonve- 1 nienoe that jnodern improvement can contribute 1 to facilitate medical instruction. Only five hundred scholarships will be. issued, and as two hundred and fifty are now sold, those who wish to ppcpre one should do so at once. Money can be remitted by express, or a draft or check sent on any National Bank in the United States, when the scholarship will be returned by mail, signed by " the President of the Board or Trustees, Jos; B.
