PBOCBEDINOS j^OP, TEX., RECONSTRUCTION CONVENTION. [CONTINUED FROil FIRST PAGE.] NINETEENTH DAY. Thursday, Februaty 6.?The Convention as sembled at 12, M. The convention proceeded to the oonsideratioi of the special order for twelve o'clock, namely, th< report of the Committee on the Bill of Rights. B. 0. Duncan, of Newberry, moved to strik< k out from the first section the words "born free anc equal," so that it would read "all men are endow ea by their Creator/' &c. He said that until a man became of age he car tainly was not free ; consequently the statemen was not true, and he wishea to see nothing in th< constitution that was not literally correct C. C. Bowen offered the following amendment as a substitute: "All men are born equally free and independent, and have certain natural inhcr ent and inalienable rights." R F. Whittemore said he would like to ask th< mover of the above how people are born indepen dent All men are born free and equal politically; and, whatever may be the aspirations or qualifica tions of individuals, they are. entitled to th^e privi leges enjoyed in oommon. ; G. Lee moved to lay the amendments on the ta ble, and the motion being agreed to, the questior recurred in passing the first section to its third readiog, and it was decided in the affirmative. Section 2 was read, on motion of B. 0. Duncan, modified verbally, and passed to its third reading. Section 3. B. 0. Duncan offered as a substitute the following: "All political power is originally vested in and derived from the people, and all free governments arc founded on their authority and instituted foi .i - ? r,. j i >? meir peace, Nuety auu B. F. Whittemore contended that the amendment changed the entire character of the section, which declared the right of the people at all timcf jjgf to modify their form of government. A motion was made to lay the amendment on the table, whereupon the President explained that such a course was unparliamentary unless it wa* designed to carry with it the original proposition. The proper way to get rid of an amendment was tc vote it down. Mr. Duncan urged that as the idea was already expressed in the Bill of Rights, its repetition waf unnecessary. C. C. Bowen favored the amendment. He said that it was upon the identical phraseology of section 3 that the discussion and difficulty arose which led to the war.-and he saw no object in perpetuating it in the forthcoming constitution. It was known as the States Rights clause, characterized as such, and, in nearly all of the constitutions lately formed, has been left out. J. H. Jeuks considered, -tho section, as it stood, revolutionary. No clause ought to exist in the constitution upon which caupe raised a question as to the paramount authority of the United States. A. J. Ransier, colored, said the Bill of Rights expressed and embodied this idea. The right of secession was denied in toto. The section in question simply provided that the people may at will modify and change their form of government. Further discussion followed at some length, and the amendments being voted down, section 3 passed to its third reading. On motion of F. J. Moses, Jr., the vote on \ Section 2 was reconsidered, for the purpose of k making the following substitute, which, niter debate, was agreed to: "Slavery shall not exist in this State, neither shall involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." Section 4 was read and passed to its third reading without objection. Section 5 was amended, on motion of G. Pillsbury, by the insertion of tho word "shall" as a substitute for "ought to," so as to make it read that "all attempts to dissolve the Union shall be resisted," &c. -r.- - J j * v., T? T 1S18CUSS10U easucu uu all amcrumcuo uj O.. U. Moses, substituting the words "disconnect from" for the word "dissolve," but the motion was no! agreed to. Sections 5 and 6 then passed to a third reading. C. C. Bowen moved to strike out the section ' on the grouud of superfluity, and after considerabh debate the motion was agreed to. Sections 7 and 8 were passed, and the conventioi adjourned. twentieth day. Friday, February 7.?The convention assem bled at 12 o'clock. ^ After discussion and attempted amendment, th( report of the Committee on Rules and Regula tions, fixing the hours of session hereafter betweer half-past 10 A. M., and half-past 2 P. M., wai adopted. On motion of R. C. DeLarge, the convention r resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole (J, M. Rutland in the chair), and took up for conside ration the unfinished business of yesterdav, being the 9th section of the Bill of Rights, which read; as follows. ' Sec. 9. In prosecutions for the publication o ? papers investigating the official conduct of officer or men in public capacity^ or when the matter pub lished is proper for public information, the trutl thereof may he given in evidence ; and that in al indictments for libel, the jury shall have the righ to determine the law and the faots under the di rection of the court. Several speeches were delivered, and amonj * others, one f>y the President of the Convention Dr. Mackey. He concluded his remarks by offer ing tbe following resolution: Resolved; That the committee of the whole no\ rise and report that they have had the ninth sec tion under consideration, and recommend that th words "have the right to determine the law ant facts under direction of the court" be stricken ou and these words be inserted, "the jury shall b judges of the law and fact." The resolution was agreed to, the committee rose reported progress, and the convention adopted it report. With but slight amendments, most of tben verbal in character, the convention then passed sec tions ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen k 1 n?/1 Virmw nf1 51 KflTnni S1XICCI1 UUU SCYCUTOu, auu uiv uvsiu v. v.

The I8th, 19th, and 20th sections of the Bill o Rights were passed without material alterations The News in commenting upon the proceedings c the day, says: ''Three or four days more may be consumed ii the consideration of the Bill of Rights, and thei will come up the next article of the future consti tution?namely, that referring to the judiciary. From conversations on the floor, it is evider that the action thereon will not, by any means, b so unanimous as the action at present. The pre position to throw the election of the judiciary int the hands of the people?a mass of votere, the m; jority of whom are not possessed of intelligence?i regarded as a dangerous blow at the interests an institutions of the State. Some of the best men i the convention are said to be preparing to mate fight upon the question; and the general wish < the country, as far as we know, is that they sha succeed in defeating the measure. If not defeater the ratification of the future constitution is by n means a certainty. The Committee on Franchise and Elections ai f e understood to be divided.

The reports from Standing Committees being called for, W. E. Rose, from the Committee on Petitions, made a report on the resolution to appoint a committee to report to the convention the names of such persons as desire to have their disabilities removed, and recommend that, in lieu of y a committee, parties wishing such a privilege accorded should apply to the convention by letter. The Committee on the Miscellaneous provisions of the Constitution, made a report on a resolution providing for the organization of the militia, ana^ recommend that the following be adopted as an article in the constitution: "The militia of the State of South Carolina shall consist of all able bodied men, residents of the State, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, except such persons as now are or may hereafter be exempt by the laws of the United States or by the State; and shall be organized, equipped and disciplined as the General Assembly may by law provide." rI%o winnrf TTTO orlnrkforl onrl fVin Annoi/3 JLUV IV[/V1 V H UO UUVpiV/U^ UUU VUV Ui MViU WUtMU ered as having been read the first time. THE BELL OP RIGHTS. On motion of Mr. Holmes, of Beanfort, section 20 was re-considered, whereupon N. G. Parker offered the following as a substitute: "All offences less than felony, in which the punishment does not exceed a fine of one hundred dollars or imprisonment for thirtv-days, shall be tried summarily before a justice 01 the peace or other officer authorized by law, on information, under oath, without indictment or the intervention of a grand jury, saving to the defendant the right of appeal; and no person shall be held to answer for any higher crime, unless on presentment before a 1 grand juiy, except in cases arising in the army or i navy, or in the militia, when in service in time of war or public danger. _. ; Considerable discussion ensued, but the substi| tute was finally adopted and passed to its third . reading. Section 21 received its second reading. It is as . follows: (; Section 21. No person Bhall be imprisoned for ; debt, except in cases of fraud; and a reasonable amount of property, as a homestead, shall be cxt empted from seizure or sale for the payment of ; any debts or liabilities, except for taxes, that may ' be contracted after the adoption of this constitution.' > Several amendments were offered, and debate . followed, which was participated in by Randolph, Whittemore and others. Whittemore offered an [ amendment to strike out all after the word "sale," . and insert "except for the payment of such obligations as are provided for in this constitution.
