Columbia, September 27.?The Slate Conven tion adjourned to-night. Previous to ailjourniug, iho Convention resolved iti-olf into :i Committco of tho Whole, when Mr. Lksesne offered resolutions complimentary to tho President of tho Conven tion, Hon. D. L. Waiidlaw, which were Hcconded,, in an eloquent speech, by the Hon. Alfred Huge?. ______-__??____ COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE. [FROM OTjn OWN COimEf-rOXDEXT. ] Columbia, September 25. ' In my letter of Saturday night, I think that I gave you an account of tho changes that have been made in the find, 6Ccond and third Articles of the Constitution. To-day tho "Amendments proposed by tho Committeo on Amendments, not included in the Legislative, Judicial or Executive departments of the Constitution, nnd general arti cles therein not specifically reported upon," came up for consideration. These articles embracod nndcr this head aro Articles 4, 5, G, 7, S, 9, 10, 11 of the Constitution. Article four was passed without debate?it relates only to ihe oath of a person elected or appointed to any office. Tho liftli arti cle, relating to impeachment and removal from office, was also passed. Tho sixth artielc.coutaining the form of electing tho Treasurer and Surveyor General, the appointment of other officer?, and jtho fcrra of commission, was agreed to, with some important verbal amendments. The debato began on Article VII, which was finally passed in the following words : " All laws in force in this State at the adoption of this Con stitution, and not inconsistent hereto, shall so continue until altered or repealed by the General Assembly, except where they are temporary; in -which case they shall expire at tho times respect ively limited for their duration, if noj. continued .by act of the-General Assembly." Tho Bill of Rights, contained hi Article YfTJ, was then taken up. The words, "by duo process of law," in tho second section, having caused con siderable debate, some members wishing to sub stitute "law of the land," Chancellor Inolis moved that the Convention should rceolvo itself into a Committee of the Whole, so that tho Prosident could be heard on the subject. Thjs was done, and Mr. Sullivan having taken the Chair, Judgo TVabdlaw said that these words, "no person Bhall ho taken ?r imprisoned," ?c, were taken from Magna Charta. Soon after Lho adoption of liai Constitution of 1790, tho question of tho meani. ; of tho words "law of tho land," camo before the Court in the caso of Zylstra. By reference to tho "English authorities and decisions, it was found that tho words "law of the land," meant law in existence at the adoption of Magna Charta, and Judge "Wattes so held. This was found inconve 1 nient, and soon after tho Court hold that tho words Tf?Cant, laws in forco at tho time that tho Constitu tion" was adopted. The charter of Charleston was ' given in 1780, and by it tho corporation was al lowed to arrest and do other acts not allowod by Magna Charta. The other towns were given char ters of tho same kind, and tho Court held that the Charter of Charleston having been given before 1790, other corporations would have the same privilege. The saino course was adopted with re gard to Commissioners of Cuts and tho Commis sioners of Hoads. The Commissioners of Ciitu vero appointed before 1790, and were empowered to levy fines. Th3 same power was given to the ^'Commissioners of Roads. This clauso was drawn .J up from tho United States Constitution, which was drawn with great care, and was really what wnB I'/iaoant by Magna Charta. The object of using tho words, is that tho Legislature shall not bo embar [ __6Bed. With regard to the clause relating to trial by jury, ho soid, when you say that trial by jury must bo preserved, do you mean that negroes ' must be tried by a jury before the District Courts, or do you menu to give them tho power of pro nouncing equitably? Before the Constitution went l hito force, the magistrates could try cases for ?5. * thidge Smith, of this State, attempted to give back to magistrates the trial of cases not over, ?5, and .* not *20, as provided by tho Constitution of the .. -United States?ho took tho ground that tho limita . lion applied to the Unitod States, nnd not to tho State Court?. This is the true doctrine, and if you wish to preserve tho power in the Legislature,, you must bo careful of tho words that you uso. U you mean to keopthe words trial by jnry, then tho District Courts will not bo ablo to try anv case without a jury, involving more than twenty-two dollars. Tho Commut?e of tho Whole W?n roso, and the rest of tho article was passed, with a? amondmoni providing that tho writ of habeas co _>m? shall not bo JfccBp'ondfd, oxcop?|n c?e?e of hiVA-via^o-tinenr. . > _?3?t?on; .and, also, with an amendment ?rot/tying tPmffl?'?P**i?i ^o^bly ^hft^ ?|i4y^, -?ie,?owers Uxfiic the munher of Jurors to oonatltuto a' Jury In -_JE?*? __rW?ct Co_r*t*.'"-r''":f* * ' " > - By tho 9th articlo tho Treasurer is bound to have his office, conduct lue buBinosB, and rosido at tho scat of government; bo, too, in tho Secretary of State. Tlio effect of tho last chango will bo to romovo tho offico from Charleston, and will cant?o great inconvenienco in tlio wholo of tho low coun try. A ponny-wiso policy dictated tho introduction of an articlo prohibiting tho Legislature from ap propriating money for internal improvomcntB, ex cept by a voto of two-thirds of both houses, which was fortunately defeated. Mr. Dudley dofended thiB clauso on tho ground that wastofnl and unprofitable expenditures bad been incurred by tho Stato for railroads and ca nals. Mr. Orr replied in an ablo speech, showing that tho money spout by tho State had boon really pro ductive of benofit to tho ontiro Stato; that if this clause were passed, South Carobna would novor again contribute a cent to public improvements; and said that if tho Stato bad mado all of tho ad vancement possible for bor to make, tho clause would be good, but other wine it should not be al lowed a placo in tho Constitution. The Convention refused to give the Governor a veto power?I do not think wisely, for it is as a rule bkcly to provo a wiso restraint on the passion of deliberative assemblies, and is always apt to be a check on hasty legislation. One of the follicB of the Convention has been to fix the rate of a capitation tax as compared with the tax on one hundred dollars' worth of laud. A cap itation tax is at all timoB difficult to collect, and it seems to mo far from statesmanliko to fix in the organic law a rule prescribing to the Legislature that they must always tax the poll one-fourth as much as they tax a given quantity of land. Tho land-owners call this a chock upon the numerical majority; a scoffer might call it a nio-.it unstales niftiilikc performance. A letter to Col. Onn is being signed by a great many of the members of tho Convention, request ing Col. ORB to becomo a candidato for Governor. Though I do not think that ho required any ask ing, as ho bud already set his heart on obtaining the Governor's chair, etill, as I said in my letter of last night, he is ambitious aud energetic, ami the interests of the State, as ho understands them, will not suffer in bis bands. Besides, he i?, to say the least, tho god-father of the. present Constitu tion, and it is but fair that be should have the first opportunity to test tho experiment, aud get all tho blamo or praise as bo fails or as bo suc ceeds. As tho law of the State now stands, any emigrant who baa resided in thiB Stato two years after de claring biB intention to becomo a citizon, and six months in tho election district, is entitled to a vote. - ? ? the STATE CONVENTION*. September 25.?Tho Convention assembled at ten o'clock, the President took tho Onair, and the deliberations were opened with prayer. Mr. ThomaB Thomson introduced tho following resolution: which waB agreed to : Resolved, That a commission, consisting of two persons, be appointed by hia Excellency, tho Pro visional Governor, to preparo and roport to the next Legislatnro what laws will be necessary and proper in conBcquenco of tho alteration made in the fundamental l?w, aurl especially to prepare and submit a code for the regulation of labor aud the protection and government of the colored population of tho Stato, and that tho Legislature lix the compensation of Baid Commissioners. A resolution from tho Committee on Amend ments to the Constitution was amended so as to read as follows: "Hereafter, there Bhall be a capitation tax laid by tbo General Assembly, which, upon each poll, shall never be less than one-fourth of the tax laid on one hundred dollars' worth of land, it being left to the General Assembly to determino what inha bitants of tho Stato shall be executed from the operation of the law," was then agreed to, and was referred to tho Rovisory Committee. MesBrs. Simonton, Frierson and Dudley present ed reports from committees. Mr. F. W. Pickens introduced tho following clause for the Constitution, which was referred to the Committee on Amendments to tho Constitu tion: "For debts hereafter contracted no real catato shall be subject to levy or execution; but this shall not be construed ao aa to prevent any legal process against the rents and pronto of tho same." Mr. Inglis, from the Committee on the Legisla tive Department, mado a report on the articles prescribing the qualification of voters; which wao agreed to, and referred to the Revisory Committee. Tlio Convention resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. Sullivan in tho Chair, to con sider the report of tho Committee on Amendments to tho Constitution, and after a free discussion of the subject, tho President resumed tho Chair.

New Yore, September 19.?The Heralds Rio Janeiro correspondent furnishes additional inter esting intelligence regarding tho South American war. Wo havo already announced tho visit of tho Emperor to the scene of hostilities in tbo Province of the Rio Grando. Thence ho started to tho fron tier to have a conference with the two allies, tho Presidents of the Argentino Confederation and of Uruguay. A largo steam ram, for the Brazilian navy, had arrived from Franco.- Others had been nearly completed at Rio Janeiro, and it was said that an American gentleman, who had just left there for the United States, carried with him a commission for tbo construction of iron-clads for thcEmporor, in this country. Volunteering for tho Brazilian army was very activo and spirited in the provinces on the first call for troops; but in llio Janeiro it had becomo necessary to commence conscripting, which was being carried on with great vigor aud little ceremony. " Officers, attended by guarda, stationed them selves at tho most frequented places in tho princi pal thoroughfares, anuscizod and sent to tho army rendezvous all passing mon and. ablo boys who could not show clear casca o? exemption. Tho civil officers of tho Govornmontwbo did not volun teer, would bo drafted and bo forever incapable of holding similar civil positions. Tho prospect of tho oofi'eo crop in Brazil were most cheering, hut tho experimenta so far mado in cotton culture had not a?ordcd much encourage ment. A party of emigrants from Missouri, who were so wedded to tho institution of slavery that after its destruction they could not romain in their own country, bad arrived in Brazil aud gono to tho Province of Panama to settle. Our Bombay correspondents, Mossrs. Farnbam &. Co., and tho Bombay Trico Current, both q?oto a telegram from England, which stated that the ?Secretary of tho U. H. Troasury bad announced the estimated stookof cotton, in .tho Soutbom States tobe two millions bales, exclusivo of the new crop."
