twenty-third day.
Tuesday, February 11.?The Convention assembled
at half-past 10 o'clock.
The Xcics says: G. W. Dill offered a resolution
that the President be authorized to draw from the
treasury a sufficient amount to pay the mileage of
the members on Saturday. After some discussion
it was laid on the table.
Unfinished business being next in order, the consideration
of section 23 was resumed. The section
is as follows:
Treason against the State shall consist in levying
war against the same, or in adhering to its enemies,
S'ving them aid and comfort No person shall
i convicted of treason unless on the testimony of
two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession
in open court.
The motion of E. TT. M. Mackey to have thi3
section stricken from the Bill of Rights, was pending
at the adjournment on Monday. -After some
; discussion,, the ayes and noes were called, the vote
resulting as follows: ayes 80 to 26 noes.
Mr. Nilcs G. Parker said it was well known that
a sum of money had arrived, and*that it was ready
to be paid to the members. lie moved an immediate
adjournment for this purpose. This was voted
down, and E. W. M. Mackey moved an amendment,
that the convention adjourn at 12J
o'clock. He saw no reason why the absence of the
chairman of the Finance Committee and the President
should compel an adjournment; he thought
the business of the conveutbwi could be carried on
without these officers. The vote being taken, the
amendment was lost.
Mr. Parker then moved an adjournment at ij*
o'clock, as this was the hour appointed for the
President to count the money. This motion was
carried almost unanimously.
The opposition were easily satisfied when they
found that the sum of $30,000 were awaiting them
at headquarters. Smiles illumined their countenances,
and visions of Bills Receivable danced before
their eyes. They departed in the greatest
good humor, to re-a^semble at 3 o'clock, when the
per diem would be forthcoming.
j
twenty-fourth day.
Wednesday, February 12.?The Convention j
met at half-past two o'clock. 1
Section 24th of the Bill of Rights was taken np,
and, after a variety of motions and amendments,
it was passed to its third reading, as follows:
Sec. 24. All persons have a right to be secure
from unreasonable searches or seizures of their
persons, houses, papers or possessions. All warrants
snail be supported by affirmation or oath,
and, if the order, in the warrant, to a civil officer,
to make search in suspected places, or to arrest
one or more suspectea persons, or to seize their
property, shall be acoompained with a special designation
of the persons or objects of search, arrest
or seizure; and no warrant shall be issued but in
cases and with the formalities prescribed by the
laws.
Section 25 was then discussed, and after some
debate was amended and passed to its third reading.
Sec. 25. Private property shall not be taken or
applied for puplic use, or for the use of corporations,
without the consent of the owner, or a iust
compensation being made therefor; Provided,
however, that laws may be made securing to persons
or corporations the right of way over the lands
of either persons or corporations, and for works of
internal improvement the right to establish depots,
stations, turnouts, etc., but a just compensation,
in all cases, shall be first made to the owner.
Sections 20, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33, were
then passed as follows:
Sec. 26. The power of suspending the laws, or
the execution thereof, shall never be exeipised but
by the legislature, or by authority derived therefrom
; to be exercised in such particular cases only
as the legislature shall expressly provide for.
Sec. 27. No person shall, in any case, be subject
to law martial, or to any pains or penalties
therefrom, by virtue of that law, except those employed
in the army or navy, and except the militia
in actual service, but by authority of the legis
lature.
After an extended debate, in which a variety of
motions and amendments were discussed, Mr. B.
F. Whitteraore offered the following, which was
adopted as a substitute for the 28th section.
The legislative, executive and judicial powers of
the government shall be forever separate and distinct
from each other, and no persons or persons
jxercising the functions of one of said departments,
shall assume or discharge the duties of any other.
Sec. 29. The legislature ought frequently to
assemble for the redress of grievances, and for making
new laws as the common good may require.
Sec. 30. The people have a right to keep and
bear arms for the common defence. As in times
of peace, armies are dangerous to liberty ; they
shall not be maintained without the consent of the
legislature. The military power shall always be in
exact subordination to the civil authority and be
governed by it
Sec. 31. In time of peace no soldier shall be
inartered in any house without the consent of the
jwner; and, in time of war, such quarters shall not
be made but in a manner prescribed by law.
Sec. 32. No person who conscientiously scruples
to bear arms snail be compelled to do so, but he
shall pay an equivalent for personal services.
Sec. 33. All elections shall be free and open, and
every inhabitant of this commonwealth possesing
the qualifications provided for in this constitution,
shall have an equal right to elect officers and to be
elected to fill public offices.
When this section had passed its third reading
the President announced that the hour of adjournment
had arrived, and the convention was adjourned.
twenty-fifth day.
Thursday, February 13.?The convention assembled
at half-past ten.
With slight verbal changes, the following sec;ions
of the Bill of Rights were passed to a third
reading without much debate.
Sec. 34. No property qualification shall be necessary
for an election to or the holding of any oficc,
and no office shall be created, the appointment
to which shall be for a longer time than good behavior.
After the adoDtion of this constitution, anv
fifces connected therewith.
T. J. Robertson said lie held in his hand a petition
signed by nearly every member of the convention,
making that request. The district courts
of South Carolina were the offspring of the infernal
code adopted by the convention of 1865. That
court was only intended to punish colored people,
and, if he was not mistaken, no man has a right
in it to bring suit against another unless he advances
the costs, thereby excluding the poor mar
from the rights which he should enjoy. Tic would
also say, without fear of contradiction, that most
of the judges elected by the legislature are unfriendly
to this movement and opposed to reconstruction
in toto. Some of them were so prejudiced
against the colored man that it was impossible tc
secure justice, and he was frequently sent to the
penitentiary for the most trivial offences. He had,
therefore, made it his business to get up this petition
and perform what he believed was a public
duty.
C. P. Leslie moved to amend by striking out sc
much as relates to abolishing the District Courts,
for he did not believe that General Canby possessed
the authority to do so, although it was in hii
power to dismiss its judges.
Mr. Chamberlain read from the Reconstruction
act a clau e describing the powers of a Command
ing General of a district, from which it appeared
that Mr. Leslie was incorrect
The amendment was rejected, and the origina
resolution was thereupon adopted.
The convention then proceeded to consider arti
person who shall fight a duel, or send or accept a
challenge for that purpose, or be an aider or abetter
in fighting a duel, shall be deprived of holding any
office of honor or trust in this State, and shall be
ctherwise punished as the law shall provide.
Sec. 35. The right of suffrage shall be protected
by laws regulating elections, and prohibiting, un3er
adequate penalties, all^ undue influences from
power, briber?, tumult or improper conduct.
Sec. 36. Representation 6hall be apportioned
according to population, and no person in this j
state shall be disfranchised or deprived of any I
->f the rights or privileges now enjoyed, except by
the law of the land or the judgment of his peers.
Sec. 37. Temporaiy absence from the State
shall not forfeit a residence once obtained.
Sec. 38. All property subject to taxation ought
to be taxed in proportion to its value. Each individual
of society has a right to be protected in the
jnjoyment of life, property and liberty, according
to standing laws. He should, therefore, contribute
his share to the expense of his protection, and
jive his personal service when necessary. /
Sec. 39. No subsidy, charge, impost tax or duties
ought to be established, fixed, laid or levied,
under any pretext whatsoever, without the consent
of the people or their representatives Iawfilff^
issembled.
Sec. 40. Excessive fines shall not be imposed,
nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted, nor
shall witnesses be unreasonably detained.
Sec. 41 received its second reading as follows:
No title of nobility or distinction, or hereditary
emolument shall ever be granted in this State.
B. F. Randolph, colored, offered the following
amendment: Distinction on account of race or
color, in any case whatever, shall be prohibited, and
all classes of citizens, irrespective of race and color,
shall enjoy all common, equal and political privileges.
"
After considerable debate, Section 41 was adopted
as amended, and passed to its third reading.
Section 42 received its second reading.
W. J. McKinlay, colored, of Charleston, offered
as a substitute the following:
Sec. 42. All navigable waters shall remain forv
f t xL.
ever puDiic mgnways, iree to tne citizens 01 tne
State and the United States, without tax, impost,
or toll imposed; and no tax, toll or impost shall be
imposed, demanded or received from the owner of
any merchandise or commodity, for the use of any
navigable stream, unless the same be authorized
by the legislature.
The amendment was advocated more or less by
Messrs. Holmes, Bowen and W. J. McKinlay, finally
adopted, and the section passed to its third
reading.
SeC. 43. The enumeration of rights in this constitution
shall not be construed to impair or deny
others retained by the people, and all powers not
herein delegated remain with the people.
The above, being the last section of the Bill of
Rights, was adopted, and the question was on passing
the preamble.
J. J. Wright moved an amendment, which was
discussed at some length, but Mr. Whittcmore,
the chairman of the committee, appealed to the
convention to allow the preamble to stand as it
was, without change, as a matter of courtesy to the
gentlemen by whom it had been reported.
The preamble was therefore passed to its third
reading with the only amendment being a substitution
of the word "people" for the words "body
politic."
several resolutions
were now introduced.
By Mr. B. 0. Duncan, white, of Newberry?
That the Legislature shall levy no poll tax except
for educational purposes. Referred to the Committee
on the Bill of Rights.
By D. H. Chambcrlin?1That this convention
request Major-General E. R. S. Canby to abolish,
at once, all the District Courts in South Carolina,
dismiss the Judires. and declare vacant all the of
do of the proposed constitution, reported
by the oommittee on tho legislative part of the
same.
The first ten sections were passed to their third
reading without material change, and the hour of
half-past two having arrived, the convention adjourned.
\?
TWENTY-SIXTH DAY.
The convention assembled at the usual hour.
Mr. N. G. Parker, from the Committee on Finance,
reported several articles of the constitution
relative to taxation, which were ordered to be rend
and printed.
On motion of C. C. Bowen^ section 8 of the
legislative part of the constitution was reconsidered;
whereupon, he offered the following amendment:
"And the county of Charleston snail be allowed
two Senators."
A long debate ensued, in which the ablest speakers
in the convention participated, and the question
w is finally decided by the yeas and nays in the
affirmative by the close vote of fifty-five to fifty
one. The section as amended was then adopted.
The next question which came under consideration
wis the favorable report of the Committee on
Petitions on the resolution of R. H. Cain, requesting
Congress to make a loan to the State of or e
million dollars, with which to enable freeduien lo
purchase lands forced into market by legal process.
On this subject speeches were made by R. H.
Cain, the mover of the resolution, and C. P. Leslie,
the latter opposing the adoption of the resoluI
t.inn
The Convention adjourned without deciding ti e
question.
