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?

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.

The report and recommendation of the Commit^
tee were adopted,
r- The following communication was read:
To the President of the Union Republican Party oj
d South Carolina.
>f Sir : I am sure there is no one more sincerely
attached to the principles of that great National
Union Republican party which has saved the nation
from dismemberment and now presides over its
destinies, than I am. 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.

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..

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.

business of the University, should be addressed
