was immediately at the front. The thirty-fifth
Section is the one relating to a homestead law, and
is as follows:
Sec. 35. There shall be exempt from execution
or other final process of any court, issued for the
collection of any debt, a homestead in the country
consisting of one hundred acres, and the dwelling
and appurtenances thereon, to De selected by the
owner thereof. And in a city, town or village in
lieu thereof, a lot with the dwelling and appurtenances
thereon ; provided that such homestead either
in a city, town, village or country, shall not exceed
in value two thousand dollars. There shall
also be exempt from such execution or other final
process of any courts issued for the collection of
any debt, the necessary articles of furniture, apparel,
subsistence and implements of husbandry, <
trade or other employment to the value of five hun- <
dred dollars. But no property shall be exempt
from sales for taxes, or lor the payment of obliga- i
tions contracted for the purchase of said home- i
stead, or for the erection of improvement thereon.
It shall be the duty of the Legislature, at its next i
session, to pass such laws as may be necessary to <
carry this provision into effect j
T. J. Robertson, of Richland, fired the first
gun, and it exploded squarely in the enemy's camp, i
He moved the following ameudment:
"No homestead shall be exempt from any just
debt, contracted at the time of the passage of this
Constitution."
In supporting that amendment he said that "while
he was willing to give a man twenty-five hundred
dollars worth of property as a homestead in the
future, he would never vote in favor of retrospective
legislation, especially in behalf of those who
made the war, "bet their all on^ secession," did ;
not care whose property was sacrificed, and drove ]
men like cattle into the slaughter pen. i
R. C. DeLarge hoped that the section would be i
adopted in its present shape. It was a measure i
of relief to all, was aptly framed to effect this object,
and, he believed, represented fairly the dispo- i
sition of the convention. DeLarge told the truth, i
Then followed Langley with a specimen of Greek i
fire, in the shape of a proposition not to exempt ]
any property wnatever from sale "for debts contracted
for labor." Whipper and Cardoza rallied i
to the support of the right wing, when a vigorous i
assault was made on the centre by J. M. Rutland, i
who took broad constitutional grounds that such an <
ordinance, as the one proposed, was not worth the
paper on which it was written. Tho courts would i
not sustain it; class legislation was involved in the
measure, and the creditors would cry out "injustice
and repudiation."
C. P. Leslie met the doughty warrior from Fairfield
with a whole battery of artillery, besides i
bringing up "horse, foot and dragoons. He said
L- 1?1 ? ""*V> Mar) a deal of old-fash- |(
lie UilU 111 U13 JUUVII tvuv. >
ioaed law, such as Kent's commentaries and the J
like, but this was the first time he had studied I
Rutland on the Constitution, and, from present an- i
pearances, preferred to stick to first principles. He t
noticed that whenever the question of relief cameup,
the delegates from Fairfield and Richland (Rutland 1
and Robertson,) always hunted in couples. If a- i
ship should be wrecked at sea. the passengers on i
which were their debtors, and those passengers <
had lost all their baggage, probably the first thing ?
done bv these gentlemen, on her arrival in port, c
would be to go on board, rush up to the group of t
sufferers, shivering iu their night shirts on the 1
poop deck, and say, "Look here, I want you to i
pay up that little debt you owe, and I want it j
now ! ' Thev wouldn't care for a scanty wardrobe
or anything else. At least that spirit would fairly i
illustrate their opposition to the homestead bill, i
This section proposed to leave some covering to i
the debtor, to afford him respite from the claims 1
of law, to let him enjoy what little he may possess t
to the extent named, and then go to work rejoi- t
cingly.
At the conclusion of the remarks of Mr. Leslie, (
an episode occurred which shows how "one touch (
of nature makes the whole world kin." He was t
speaking of the probable ratification of the Con- i
stitution, should it accord with the wishes of the c
people ; of the benefits that would accrue to them r
from the exhibition of a just and liberal spirit, and t
depicting the eagerness of the contented throngs
who would make their way to the polls to deposit c
their votes in favor of the new constitution. In a
low tone, and amid a silence which would have
made the drop of a pin audible, he. was describing
all these things, when he spoke incidentally of "my '
people in Barnwell." The words were scarcely t
out of his mouth, when, overcome by emotion, v
with face flushed and eyes filled with tears, he was t
obliged to resume his seat, utterly unable to pro- t
ceea. i
From the humorous to the pathetic is but a step.
The audience, which but d moment before was so f
noisy with merriment, hushed in an instant; and,' \
1a1 ?lvJ f flir .on lin- (
annaugu it?w uuuju uuuuoiuuu fcuwvviuwv.v* -?
usual a display of feeling, it was very apparent c
that this species of untaught eloquence found a r
responsible throb in?very heart. t
btrange to say, Langley did notcall the delegate i
from Barnwill to order, for doing something contrary
to the rules of the house. He did proceed (
to make a speech, however, favoring his amend- s
ment, and was followed by Mr. B. F. Whitteiuore t
in opposition to the section. The hour of adjourn- (
ment arrived while he was speaking, and the con- (
vention dissolved, to meet at the usual hour. 1
1
thirtieth day. 1
Wednesday, February 19.?The Convention '
assembled at 10?, A. M. <
W. E. Rose, from the Committee on Petitions, (
reported the action of that committee on the sub- *
ject of the memorial from Georgia recommending 1
an application to Congress for a loan of thirty million
dollars. The committee recommend that the 1
memorial be laid on the table. Agreed to. *
B. F. Randolph, from the Committee on Mis- <
cellaneous Affairs, introduced the following ordi- <
nance, which was prepared and submitted by Jos.
Crews, white, of Laurens.
Be it ordained, &c., That it shall be the duty
of the legislature, at its first .session hereafter, to !
appoint commissioners to investigate and ascertain '
what obligations of the State are entitled to be 1
held as valid and binding upon the State, in con- 1
fortuity to the provisions of this constitution, and
the ordinances adopted by this convention, and to '
report thereon to the legislature; and until the <
legislature shall have ascertained the validity of 1
such obligations, no payment of either principal or 1
interest shall be made on any outstanding obliga- j
tion created and incurred prior to April 29, 1865. j
The ordinance received its first reading, was or- f
dered to be printed, and was made the special order
for Wednesday next at 12 M.
1 The convention resumed the consideration of the 1
unfinished business, which was section 35, provi- 1
ding a homestead, &c. I
Mr. B. F. Whittemore addressed the body at !
length. He contended first that, in its present j
shape, the section was tetrospective in its charac- '
ter, and that, being retrospective and an ex post 1
facto law, it was unconstitutional Secondly, that 1
creditors were entitled to as much protection from '
the convention as debtors, and that no one had
cither a moral or legal right to step between the
debtor and creditor and divorce them from their
just claims and liabilities.
For one, he felt as keeulv as any member upon
the floor for the distressed and unfortunate; he
sympathized with the debtor in his straightened
circumstances, and desired to afford every possible
meitris nf relief consistent with law; but the
creditor, as a member of the community, likewise
had claims which demanded consideration and
regard. Personally he had been instrumental in
aiding many of the planters and factors of the
State. The capital which he invited hither had
been furnished with the confident hope that it
would be repaid, and he could furnish letters from
the best citizens of the State to show that notwithstanding
their temporary misfortune, they did not
desire the convention to obliterate the honest
claims against them. The honor of the old Commonwealth,
notwithstanding her reverses, was not
dead yet; and, while he haa the power or influence
to resist that which tended to throw a blight upon
that honor, he would employ it upon all proper
occasions. Too much feeling had been brought
into the consideration of this subject; too many
appeals had been made to feelings and to prejudices.
It was a question only for the exercise of
reason, judgment and justice. Measured by these,
the retroactive law proposed was clearly unconstitutional,
illegal, and uniust.
W. G. TV hipper spoke stronglv in favor of the
section as it stood, opposing all change. They
were there to legislate for the people; a large proportion
of that people were in distress; they demanded
relief; and the best relief that could be
afforded was that which secured to them a homestead
which the creditor could not touch, gave to
them a fresh start in life, and prevented the homes
of the State from passing into the hands of cormorants
and speculators.
W. J. McKinlay, of Orangeburg, spoke in opposition
to the section on the ground of its retrospective
character, but said he was in favor of its
general spirit as a measure of relief. Until changed,
he could not vote for that which ignored the
obligations of a large class of the community, and
at one stroke wiped out so much of the honestly
incurred indebtedness of the country at the expense
of the creditor.
R. B. Elliott, colored, of Barnwell, offered an
amendment, so that the 10th liue of the section
would read, "It shall be the duty of the first leg- (
islature that assembles after the ratificatiou of this
constitution, at its first session, to pass such laws as
may be uecessary to carry this provision into
effect." . A
B. F. Randolph took the floor in defence of ]
the section without amendment, and spoke long ]
and tell. (
F. J. Moses, Jr., made the grand speech of the <
day. Taking the broad ground that this was a
poor man's measure; that the circumstances of the (
hour demanded it; that it was not retrospective in ;
action; that if so, it was nevertheless legitimate,
viewed by the light of precedents and example; j
that its results would be beneficial to all the people j
of the State; aud, finally, that it would undouot- i
edly ensure the certain ratification of the constitu- I
tion. He held the convention for nearly three C
quarters of an hour deeply interested in every word ?
that fell from his lips. It was the ablest speech ^
made on that side of the subject; it was made with j
feeling, and made with a purpose; it told. A synopsis
would scarcely do the speaker, or his subject,
justice.
R. B. Elliott, colored, moved the previous ques- v
tion, and the main question was ordered.
J. M. Rutland, as chairman of the Legislative *
Committee, was permitted, under the rules, to
onnotfiAoon mirmtac nnd hp nspd the onnnrtunitv C
uiiuuww, ? ? ? r-r ??
well. He planted himself upon broad constitu- <]
tional grounds, that the proposed retrospective action
was all wrong, and the courts would so declare c
it. Appeals to feeling would do very well in their 0
place, out upon such an important theme as this, e
involving so much material interest, so many mor- r
td obligations, so much of the honor of men and
honor of the State, something more than passion c
should be invoked to decide the question. The 3
importance of a homestead law was undeniable, j*
ana he would go as far as anybody in securing one c
whose effect would be prospective; but come what t
might, whether weal or woe to himself,-it should r
not go forth to the countiy that as a lawyer and a ?
man he had done battle with all his power in behalf
of what he deemed right, just and true. ^
The question then recurred on the several amend- ?
ments, all of which were voted down except the
one offered by Elliott, authorizing the Legislature, {,
at its first session, to pass such laws as may be ne- ?
cessary to carry the provision into effect. 8
The thirty-fifth section then passed to its third I
reading by a vote of?yeas 102; nays 4.
The Convention then adjourned.
a
thirty-first day.
Thursday, February, 20.?The convention as- *
seuibled at the usual hour. ?
Mr. C. C. Bowen 'offered a resolution that the ^
general Assembly, at its first session hereafter, ^
.hall ratify the 14th article of the constitution b
cnown as the constitutional amendment, and it s
vas referred to a committee for further considera- p
ion. 1
The 14th article of the Constitution is generally ?
cnown as the "Howard amendment,"' and pro- *
ides that represention shall be apportioned accor- a
ling to voting population; that persons who held j
:ertain offices previous to the war and afterwards
mgaged in rebellion, shall not be eligible to hold I
iffices mentioned, until relieved of tneir disabili- e
ies; that the validity of the public debt shall be
leld inviolable, and all debts in aid of rebellion be
epudiated. Also, that no claim for the emancimtion
or loss of slaves shall be paid. s
E. W. M. Mackey offered a resolution request- c
ng General Canby to remove the present Superntendent
of the State Penitentiary, and appoint v
n his place William E. Rose, the delegate from
fork District. Mr. M. stated that a petition to
hat effect had been signed by eveiy member of ]>
he convention. The resolution was adopted.
The 36th article of the legislative part of the ?
Constitution was passed to its third reading with- ^
>ut debate. The followiug articles of the consti- p
ution were then read the first time, and laid over p
mder the rules: On the executive part of the p
institution; on charitable institutions; on corpo- I
ations; on the militia, and on finance and taxa- C
ion. . E
The convention adjourned at half-past one o'- t!
Jock. . p
f
thirty-second day. s
Friday, Feb. 21.?The News says that the day s
'may be summed up in a single paragraph?much t
alk and little work. The great fight of the session ^
ras over a proposition to divide the judicial disriet
of Charleston into three election districts; hut
he country rallied in strong force, and the nicas- C
ire was defeated." _ C
Last evening a caucus was held, it is understood, ?
or the purpose of completing nominations; but ~
vith what result, we are uofr'iuformed. The colored g
lelegates are said to be exceedingly annoyed at the $
livision of spoils, and a new "slate" is being pre- s
mred whereon will be written the names of the "to>e-distin<;uished,"
who expect to fill the proud C
daces" of the State. ?
F. L. Cardoza, Rev. R. H. Cain, and one or two g
ither colored men have gone to Washington as a g
iort of self-constituted committee on a prospecting
our. First, their object is to find out whether a S
rolored man, if elected to Congress, will be "wel- S
joined with hospitable hands," &c. ; secondly, why ;
speaker Colfax treated such a proposition, made
ly letter some time ago, with comtemptuous sieuce;
thirdly, whether the convention is sufficient- ^
y Radical to be a success in the eyes of the bo^*^ ~
jonstructionists of Washington; andfinally, wheth- p
ir any engagement can be made to carry out a land j
scheme, by which the freedmen may enjoy their j
low petted day-dream as a bona fide reality.
The general impression is that the mission will
irove a failure, and that the colored people of the"p
State will be most thoroughly disgusted by the so- _
ailed friendly promises of the Washington politi- _
sians.
The probabilities grow stronger every day that
;he convention will not be able to finish its duties ~
before the 14th of March. Much work remains to
>e done. Many heavy verbal coutests are "cook- 1
ng up" on vexed questions yet to be considered, J
ind at the present rate of progress, this limit to ?
the session is not an unreasonable one.
Meanwhile, funny things continue to be said and i
lone on the*floor, which make portions of the pro- 1
leedings as good as a comedy. For instance, yes- c
terday, one of the delegates accused another of un- ?
premediated smartness, and to damage him with a *
regtdar "socdologer" that should quench and make f
lim forever after hold his peace, said that he had ^
'cut his eye teeth before he had done missing.'' j
The same delegate handled the Charleston mem- a
jers without gloves for trying to do something C
vhich we did not clearly understand, and he indig- ?
rnntly declared that they were prepared to "sell
:hcir birthright for a mess of partridges." These (
allies of rough humor never fail to "bring down
the house," and naturally afford amusement which
Lightens the burden of prosaic debate and relieves
the monotony of holding a chair down for five mor- ;
tal hours. K
