condition, and will speedily rehabilitate the State
as a constituted part of the great national confederation.
With this expression of my sentiments, which
will not, however, control me in the important administration
of the duties of the office to which you
have assigned me, I am now prepared to take my
place as your presiding officer, at the same time invoking
your indulgence for any unintentional errors
that I may commit, and your earnest co-operation
in preserving the dignity and decorum of
the body.
W. G. Whip per, colored, of Beaufort, offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That pending the appointment and report
of the Committee on Rules, the oonvention
i adopt and be guided by the rules of the House of
Representatives for its government.
The resolution was agreed to.
On motion of R. C. DeLarge, colored, the thanks
of the oonvention were returned to CoL T. J. Robertson,
for the dignity and impartiality with which
he presided over the deliberations of the body.
it G. Holmes, white, of Beaufort, moved that
the convention proceed to the election of a secretary
by ballot
The President announced that having adopted
the rules of the House of Representatives as
their guide, the secretary must be elected viva
voce, unless me nues were icmpururiiy susucuucu.
On motion of B. F. Whittemore, the rules were
suspended, and Carlos J. Stallbrand was unani
monsly, by acclamation, elected secretary.
The new secretary, as the reporter was informed,
formerly occupied the position of chief of artillery
under General Sherman, and was himself a
major-general in the Federal army.
N. G. Parker moved that the convention proceed
in the same manner to the election of assistant
secretary, sergeant-at-arms, assistant sergeantat-arms,
door-keeper, assistant door-keeper and
chaplain. . v"Vf /
F. J. Moses, Jr., of Sumtef, said that he was
opposed in toto to that part o?tbe resolution which \
looked to the election of a chaplain. As tar as he I
was individually concerned he vyas opposed to the
services of any chaplain, and opposed to having
these proceeding opened with prayer. That truth
t which had been neld so sacred in the past has <
been of late so prostituted in all legislative bodies,
that there was a great probability it would be prostituted
here, and instead of prayers we should have 1
simply political harangues in the guise of a sacred
invocation.
Furthermore, he held it to be incumbent upon ;
the delegates to have some respect for the Treasury
of the State. The people were poor, and where 1
there were so manv chanlains on the floor, he i
thought it unwise and injudicious to add to the
expenditure to be entailed upontltf State by rea- i
son of these deliberations. - *'?>
B. F. Randolph, colored, of Orangeburg, said
he was strongly in favor of the election of a chap- I
lain, because it was the custom in Congress, in the I
legislature, and, as far as he was informed, in other i
conventions which had been held
No one on this floor could possibfy more respect 1
the Treasury of the State than himself, but he I
could not respect it so much as to ignore religion (
and overlook God.
L S. Langley, colored, of Beaufort agreed with :
the delegate from Sumter that there were clergy- i
men enough in the convention to open the prooeed- I
ings with prayer, without taxing unnecessarily the
treasury of the State; and he hoped, that they i
would be patriotic enough to discharge this duty ,
to the convention and the State, without drawing
, eight dollars a day for their services.
T. Hurley, white, moved to strike from the resolution
ihe won! "elect," and insert the words
I "shall be appointed by the chair." . j
The amendment was agreed to* a?d the question .
occurring on the resolution as amended, it was a- j
dopted. .' * i
The President laid before the convention a com- i
munication from F. A. Sawyer (white), a delegate 1
from Charleston, resigning himposition The re
signation was accepted. A? e 1
If. G. Parker moved that the convention pro- j
cecd to elect a reading and engrossing clerk, and .
an additional doorkeeper, and ttiht three messen- ,
gers be appointed by the chair. * ^ ]
R. C. DeLarge (colored) opposed the idea of
having so many "hangers on," and digging so
deeply into the treasuiy as their appointment would
necessitate. If thcv^kept on, they would soon ,
have as many attendants as delegates.
J. J. Wright (colored) agreed with DeLarge.
"Most of us' he said, "k" _hffilWirwV/'' <
ing on ourselves, und I tlnuk we can do it yet."
[Laughter.]
K. C. Delarge moved that the number "three'' ,
be substituted by "two." .
The amendment was adopted, and the motion
then agreed to.
On motion of B. F. Whittemore, Paul M. Poinsett
(a colored man) was elected assistant secretary,
and on the motion of a colored delegate, Wm. K.
Mitchell (also a colored man) was elected engrossing
clerk.
The latter, it was stated, formerly held a clerkship
in the Provost Marshal's office under General
Gilmorc.
The convention then took a recess until 8 o'clock,
m P.M.
~ The Evening SE&siONwas consumed in rambling
discussions and ballotings for officers. E. Conway
was elected Sergeant-at-arms; Peter Miller,
assistant Sergeant-at-arms; Sam Dickson, doorkeeper;
and John Fitzsimmons assistant doorkeeper?all
colored.
R. C. DeLarge (colored) notified the convention
that he would to-morrow move for a reconsideration
of the vote by which Conway was elected
sergeant-at-arms, it having been proclaimed that
the person aforesaid was incompetent to discharge
the duties of the office.
At 12 o'clock, the convention adjourned to meet
at 10 o'clock, A. M., to-morrow. ,
i thiri> day.
Tfiursday, January 16.?The convention assembled
at 10 o'clock, and after calling the roll, the
Secretary read the journals of yesterday's proceedings.
Some discussion ensued with reference to the
election of sergeant-at-arms, it having come to the
knowledge of delegates that they had chosen a colored
man wholly iucompetent to discharge the duties
of the office.
ine several motions on tnis suDjeei were wuudrawn
to permit of praver, and at the request of
the President, B. F. Whittemore, a white delegate
from Darlington, officiated.
Ou motion of B. Odell Duncan, of Newberry
(white), the resolution referriug to chaplains, adopted
yesterday, was reconsidered, and on further
motion of the same delegate, the President was
empowered to appoint some member of the convention
each morning to open the proceedings with
prayer.
On motion of the same delegate, the doorkeeper
was instructed not to admit any one who has not
credentials as a member, or is privileged as a reporter
or invited guest
The convention proceeded to the election of
messengers, which resulted in the choice of W. S.
Elliott (colored) and J. D. Bryce, (white).
An effort was made to secure the appointment
of three pages, but after discussion the whole matter
was laid on the table.
J. J. Wright, (colored), of Beaufort?I wish to
offer as a motion that this convention do all it can
to sustain The Charleston Daily News and Courier
for the correctness and impartiality with which
they have thus far reported the proceedings of the
convention, and go as far as becomes gentlemen to
cause the Mercury to "evaporate."
This produced an animated discussion, and was
finally disposed of by laying the whole matter on
the table.
F.J. Moses, Jr., of Sumter, introduced the
following resolution:
Resolved\ That a committee of three be apSointed
to wait upon his Excellency Governor
amcs L. Orr ana request him to address this
^ convention, and that said committee report to
morrow.
L. S. Langlev (colored), moved that the word
"provisional' be inserted before the word "Governor."
Mr. Moses accepted the amendment.
J. J. Wright (colored), moved to lay tho resolution
upon tho table.
The motion was not agreed to.
The resolution wm? finally adopted, and a committee
of three appointed to wait on Governor Orr
and request him to address the Convention on Friday
evening. The Committee consisted ofF. J.
Moses Jr., and J. M. Rutland, white; and W. J.
Whipper, colored.
J. k. Jillson (white), of Sumter, presented the
' resignation of Conway, the colored sergeant-utarms
elected last evening, which was accepted.
A committee was appointed to report what
standing committees were necessary for the business
of the convention.
After some confusion, growing out of attempts
to hold an evening session, the convention adjourned
until 10 o'clock, A. M., to-morrow.
