KOOD TO BC ISSUED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED DY THE GOVERNMENT -NO ASSISTANCE FOB THOSE WHO DO NOT PLANT A PA IB PBOPOB TIO> OF CEREALS. Gen. R. E. Scott, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, issues this morning tho following imiortant and gratifying an? nouncement : HEADQUARTERS ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, ] Bm EAU R. F. AND A. L., I DiSTBiCT OF SOOTH CAROLINA, | CHARLESTON, 8. C., January 16,1868. J {Circular Letter.] The govcrnmen: having again charged the I Assistant Commissioner with tho duty of dis? tributing food among the people of this State, I for the double purpose of preventing Buffering from tho destitution now common io many lo- I calities, and to enable the people to provide against a recurrence of the like destitution in futuro, it becom&j necessary, in order to ac? complish the object designe-J, to adopt such a system of distribution for the supplies thus loaned, as will nost effectually both accom? plish thc objects nbovo named, and insure lo tho government tho repayment of its means. This end can on y be attained by a well rogo lated system of lu bor-for from such a system I al mo can il bo oxpectod that any degreo of j prosperity will fo low. It will bo found impos? sible to distribuid food to tho needy thousands I as individuals, but only as communities. Tho sad experience ot tho past year should have given a lesam ot profit to all. Hundreds of people wero the recipients of the charity of the government, who claimod to be planting at the time they woro fod, but who, upon in? vestigation, were discovered to be either idling away their time or engaged in culvating a small patch, the whole products of which could not subsist thom for more than a month or two; others reco.ved aid who wero located on j barron and worn out landa, upon whioh, cvou by the most severe labor, it was impossible to produce a subsistence; whilo yet a third ciass, I without any pecuniary means, entered into ti- J rangements ivhc roby they ijavG one-hnlf or ono- j third of their ti: no to the landowner, and dur- I ing thc remainder attempted tc- dig out a sub? sistence for themselves without oither ani- j mais to assist them or food to live upon. To continuo in those foolish attempts to ob? tain a livelihood will result in the completo prostration of every interest of tho country, and to foster :.uch folly by squandering gov? ernment rations on such poople would bo criminal on the part of the agent charged with their distribution. It is, therefore, the intention of tho Assist? ant Commissioner to issue food in future to the extent a!owed by the government, to those persons only who he is satisfied are SJ employed that they will be able to repay to the government tho amount loaned as well as to placo themselves beyond the possibility of want during t ie following year. To accom? plish this object, responsible persons will be appointed agents of distribution in each local? ity where destitution exists who will bo hold strictly accountable for the reliability and in- I dustry of the consumers. They will be in? structed to tike from the recipients a bond, giving a lien upon the crops to be grown, and other producto of industry and personal prop? erty. Tho Assistant Commissioner must be satis? fied that each applican t has planted or is about to plant a suflicieut number of acres in cereals to insure his provisions for the noxt your with? out purchase. To parties engaged wholly or to an undue extent in the cultivation of cot? ton, no assist mc 3 will bo rendered. Duly ap? pointed officers and agents of this Bureau will bo instructed to frequently and carefully in? spect tho pla.dations of those who are the re? cipients of assistance, and if it shall at any limo bc found that they are likely to fail to fulfil their obligations, all necessary measures will be taken to protect tho interests of the government. The Assistant Commissioner desires it to be understood that tho amount of assistance that he is authorized to render is limited, and it is therefore net essary that all persona who have private resources nt command should avail themselves cf such, these supplies being only intended by tho government to relieve the most extreme cases of destitution. R. K. SCOTT, Bvt. Maj. Gen., Asst. Commissioner. Official: H. NEIDE, 1st Lt. 44th Inf., Bvt. Maj., A A. A. G. J THE CONTENTION, CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. Tho Convention yesterday had evidently lost none ot its interest to tho colored people of the city, who thus far have constituted the bulk of tho spectators. The aroa assigned to them was, if possible, more densely crowded than tho day before. Quito a number of delegates were added to the number before present, several of whom were white men; and log-rolling to seguro the election of this or that candidate for president appeared to bo the all-e.igrossing object of work. It was evident from tho outset, however, that Dr. Mackey's adherents had secured tho inside track, and the first ballot, informal though it was, attested tho truth of the predic? tions freely mado. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. SECOND DAT. Tho convention waa called to order at 12 o'clock by Colonel T. J. Robertson, tho tem? porary chairman. Prayer was offered by Rev. B. F. Randolph, delegate from Orangeburg. Tho roll of delegates being called, ouo hun? dred and niuo responded to their names seventeen moro being present than on tho pre? ceding day. The Secretary read the proceedings of yes? terday. On motion of R. C. DcLargo (colored), of Charleston, tho janitor of tho buildin? was re? quested to act as door-keeper until a perma? nent organization was effected. :. B. 0. Duncan (white), of Newberry-I now move that wc proceed to a ballot for perma? nent officers of the convention, the balloting to bo at largo, and that two tellers be appointed for tho purpose. F.L. Cnrdozo (colored), of Charleston-Does this motion take precedence of my own which was under discussion yesterday at tho hour of adjournment? li. 0. Duncan-I move that all unfinished busineas be laid on tho table. Tho motion was agreed to. Mr. Duncan then reneged his original mo? tion to. proceed to balloting. R. C. DeLarge (colored)-I movo that we commoucc with an informal ballot, BO that we may pet tho sense of tho house. A white delegate-I move that the "two high? est" men balloted for be declared thc candi? dates of the convention. Another white delegato-I move to amend by requiring a majority of all tho votes present to be cast. The Chairman-The chair presumes h 3 un? derstands his duties on that question. The several motions were more or less agreed to, and tho chair appointed B. 0. Duncan (white) and T. K. Sasportas (colored) to act as tellers. [Confusion in the hall.] J. J. Wright (colored), Beaufort-I move that every person take his scat excopt those whose business it is to count vo'es. Tho chair would oxplaiu that gentlemen are permitted to movo about for the purpose of preparing their ballots. J. J. m ight-Then I move tbe appointment of a committee of six to wait upon the dele? gates and to distribute paper for ballots. I make this motion to keep.down confusion. A white dolcfrate-I move that tho conven? tion take a re jess for fifteen miuutca to pro pare their ballots. B. O. Duncan-I movo to amond by naming five minutes. B. F. Whittemoro (while), Darlington-I do not understand thc question before-. W. G. Whipper (c dored), l oaufort- I riao to a point of order. A motion has been made to adjourn, and it is not debatable. Tho quostlon then behn: taken, was decided in tho affirmative, and tho convention took a recess of li ftc on minutes. On being called to order, balloting com? menced for tho election of permanent Presi? dent, which being concluded, the chairman announced resulted as follows : Dr. A. G. Mackey.74 votes. B. F. Whittemoro.37 " T. J. Rober taon. I " James M. Rutland.1 " Total.113 Gilbert Pillsbury (uhito), Charleston-I now move that the couvention declaro Dr. Mackey to be unanimously elected President. B. F. Whittemoro-Will the gentleman with? draw his motion? Mr. Pillsbury assontod. B. F. Whitteniore-I understand that tho bolloting thus far has been simply au informal expression ot the souse of this couvention; and it appoars that as regarda tho two higher can? didates hero named, it is favorably disposed towards Dr. Mackey and myself. 1 certainly appreciate the kindness which has been ex? tended to me by those who have bestowed then* votes upon mo. I nm certainly hero for no other purpose than to assist in tho harmo? nious organization of this convention, having been, in no instance, an aspirant for this posi? tion. I desire simply to bu left to represent my constituents upon tho floor, and do the business that may come before us for conside? ration cither here or in somo humble part upon some committee, and to this cud I move that this body unanimously declare Dr. A. G. Mackey tho President of this Convention. The motion was azreed to amid applause A. J. Hausier (colored) from Charleston, , moved that a committCT of three bo appointed to wait upon tho presidont elect, apprise bira of the event, and wait upon him to thc chair. F. J. MooeH, Jr.,. (white) of Sumter, moved as au amendment that a coinmiltoo ol'tw >, to consist ot B. F. Whittemoro and R. C. Do Large, be appointed for thc purpose. A. J. Rausier declining to accept thc amend? ment, Mr. Moses proposed that thc name of A. J. Rausier Bhould bo added to tho commit teo, aud tho motion was then agreed to. On motion ot N. G. Parker, thc conventon took a recess for fifteen minutes, at tho expira? tion of which time the body waa called to or? der, tho conimittoe escorted the President tu tho chair, and ho was formally presented to tho convention by Colonel Robortson, the tem? porary chairman. In nssuming tho duties of his office, Dr. Mackey addressed tho body as follows : Gentlemen of Ike Convention : While I return you my thanks for tho honor that you havo con? ferred on me, by sclect'ng mo tu preside over your deliberations, I confess that I assumo tho chair with great diffidence aa to my capability to discharge its duties. 1 can, however, safely promiso a determination to perform thc impor? tant task with thc strictest impartiality, and with all the judgment iu my power. The position in which your kindness has placed me, will necessarily preclude mc from a general participation in cue tlobates of tho house, and will condemn mo lo silence ou many questions, on which, if I were on tho floor, I would wish to bo heard. You will, porhaps, thereforo, pardon me, if I tako thc prosont oc? casion, once for all, to define my position and to express my sentiments on somo of tho great topics which are now agitating our country. The convention in which wo are now sitting is marked by two peculiarities, which havo dis? tinguished no other convention that has pre? ceded it in South Carolina-peculiarities which demand for it thc commendation of every lover of liberty and respector of human righis! Convened, as I contend it has been-for olso I had not boen hore-by competent legal au? thority, it is the first constitutional convention m this State, in tho selection ol whoso mem? bers, tire ballot box, the true palladium ot ra tioual liberty, has been made accessiblo to every man who was not disqualified by legal or political crime. In tho call for the tivo South Carolina Conventions which havo pre? ceded it, and which wore held iu 1770, in 1777, in 1700, in 18G?. and in 18C5, but a portion of the people wero permitted to exercise tho elec? tive franchise, because slavery, that vile relic of barbarism, had thrown its blighted Influ? ence upon tho minds of the people, and, for tho noble doctrine that governments were con? stituted for the good of thc whole waa substi? tuted that anti-republican one, that they wcro intended only for the'benefit of one class'at the oxpenso of another. But in thc call for this body, every true man who could labor for the support or* fight tor tho defence of tho Com? monwealth has beou invited to a representa? tion. Manhood suffrage has, for the first time, been invoked to co:iveuc a body which is to make tho fundamental law for all. This is. then, truly and emphatically, a peop.es' con? vention-a convention by tho representatives of all who have minds to think-and to think for themselves, or muscle to work-and to work for themselves. Again. Ia tho five constitutional tiona held in the State, to which I havi alluded, tho fundamental law theron was made a finality. The people were as a part of tho body politic by the con which declared itself as possessed of and irresponsible authority, and, in e stance, refused lo submit its proceedii the constitution which it had framed people for their, ratification. This wa natural and necessary reault of the in of the political sentiment that then pi It was but consistent that those who one-half of thoir fellow-citizens to be should forget or overlook the manhooc other half. But wo, who in these days, when th beans of political truth, promise, ? much storm, a brighter sky for the R we who are emerging from that cloud i opinion into the full sunshine of tha know and claim ourselves to bo only thi 8eutativcB of tho people. Wo arrogar sume no final action, no irresponsible recognizing the rights of all men, of al tho poor as well as the rich, the ignc well as the wiso-of all men who m State their home and identify themselv . its interests. We dare not present to tl organic law for thoir government, as thing with which they have nothing to to hear it and obey. Our work here is be considered as completed until the shall have reviewed it and ratified it. 1 ourselves, but they who sent us hore, say whether we desorvo tho rewarl of'i done, good and faithful servants." J first timo in tho histor}- of South Carob the p copio bo recognized as the true fi of their own organic law. Of such a ci tion, organized on the great acknow! principles of Democratic Republicanism proud to bo a morabor; far more proud here beneath the folds of that belove which is this day floating from our roo! I ?hould have boen to havo boen in that body which met in this city in I860, w such loyal symbol to protect it, but rather sought to tear its stripes to ta tte; to dash its stars to the earth. Yielding to none in sentiments of do for that Sag of my fathers, and m abhoi ol every sentiment of disloyalty and treal that government, to which I owe a parai allegiance, I yet have no vindictive fe towards those of my fellow-citizens whe led by the abstractions of their political ers, to entertain different and opposing ; menta-sentiments which I doomed e but which they believed to be truths. I to them that liberty of thought which Ide for myself. Heneo, I profess myself to moderate mau. I am opposed to all confiscr of property, becauso tho confiscation of a lands of rebel owners in the State oem ha' effect in promoting tho welfaro of that f in elevating its political condition or advai i td commercial and agricultural prospcril am opposed to any genoral disfranohisein the masses ot people. It is too lato nt disfranchise as a punishment for treason, ishment should bc inflicted for the; sake c form. To inflict it now would be only to { fy revenge. I want no more disfranchise either as to number of persons, or as to < tion of time, than is absolutely necossai secure tho safety of the nation, and if tha be secured by none at all, then would I fat general amnesty. I call God to witness, that in taking my in this august body, I do so only because siro to contributo what littlo abilities o flueuro I may have to tho restoration of p and harmony, and for tho cstablisbmet; such a constitution or form of gorerorneu my native State as wUl sccuro to orery mt tho commonwealth nu equal share of poli rights, will protect us in tno future from errors which havo led to our present unlit com1, i (ion, and will speedily rehabilitate State as a constituent part of tho great nal al confederation. With Ulis cxpro?dion of my sentiments, vt. will not, however, control mo in the impor administration of the duties or tho offic which you have assigned mo, I am cow pared to take my place as your presiding cer, at tho samo timo invoking your indulg? for any unintentional errors that I may c mit, and your earnest co-operation in pres ing the dignity and decorum vt the body. vY. G. Whipper (colored), of Beaufort, o ed thc following resolution : Resoloed, That ponding the appointn and report of tho Commtttoo on Rules, convention adopt and be guided by the r of thc House of Representatives for its f crnmont. Tho resolution was agreed to. On motion of R. C. DeLargu (colored), thanks of tho convention were returned to I T. J. Roboitson, fur tho dignity and imparti tv with which ho presided over tho debbi tions of tho body. lt. G. Holmes (whito), of Beaufort, mo that tho convention proceed to the oloclioi a secretary by ballot. Tho President announced that having adc od tho rules of thc House ot Ropresontati as their guido, tho secretary must bo ch; . moa coco, unless tho rules woro temporal suspended. On motion of B. F. Whitlomoro, thc ru were suspended, and Carlos J. Stallbrand \ unanimously, by acclamation, cloded acere ta Tho new secretary, as the reportor was formed, formerly occupied tho position of cl; of artillery under Gonoral Sherman, and v himself a inajor-goucral m the Federal arm N. G. Parker moved that tho convention p ceod in thc same manner to the election of ; Blatant secretary, sergeaDt-at arms, assistt scrgcant-at-arms, door-keeper, assistant dot keeper and chaplain. 1<*. J. Moses, Jr., of Sumter, said that ho w opposed in toto to that part of tho rcsoluti which looked to tho cloe I ion of a chaplain. "f ir as *ho was- individually conceruod ho w oppoHt'd to tho services of any chaplain, a opposed to having these proceedings open with prayer. That Truth which had been he BO sacred in tho past hos been of la'o so prc tituted in all logislativ'o bodies, that thero w a great probability it would be prostituti hore, and instead of prayers wo should ha simply political harangu?s in thc guiso of sacred invocation. Furthermore, he held it to ho incumbe upon tho delegates to have some respect f tho Tro.isury of tho Stato. The people wo poor, and whore there were so many cnaplaii on the floor, he thought it unwise and inj dicious to add to the expenditure to bo e; tailed upon tho Stato by reason of these7 d liberations. B. F. Randolph (colored), of Orungeburj said bc was strongly in favor of thc olectic of a chaplain, becauso it was the custom i Congress, in the legislature, and, os far ne 1: was informed, in othor conventions which ha been held. No one on this floor could possibly moi respect the Treasury of the State than bin self, but ho could not respect it so much as t ignoro religion apd overlook God. L. S. Langloy (colored), of Beaufort, agreoi with tho deleg?to from Sumter that thoro wor clergymen enough in the convention to ope tho proceedings with prayer, without toxin, unnecessarily tho treasury of the State; an bc hoped that they would bo patriotic onoug] to discharge this duty to the convention am tho Stato, without drawing eight dollars a da; for their services. 'J'. Hurley (white), moved to strike from th resolution "the word "olect," and insert tb words "shall bo appointed by the chair." Tho amendment wos agreed to, and tilt question occurring ou tho resolution as amend ed. it was adopted. Tho President laid before tho convontion tin following communication from F. A. Sawyei (white), a delegate from Charleston, resignm-: his position : CuAnnESTON, January 15, 18C8. To the President of the Convention of South Carolina, Sin-I regret tho necessity which compel' me to announco to you my inability to assume the duties of a member of the Constitutional Convention. While I am grateful for tho conlidonco of my fellow-citizens, manifested in my election, it is due to them to i-ay that I should not have con? sented to become a candidato had I torescen, or thought I had a reason to foresee, thc pres? sure of official duties under which I now find myself, and which is greater than at any time in the last two years. If I become a member of thc convention I must olect ono of two alternatives, neither of which I am willing to accept; on the ono hand, a neglect, to nn unjustifiable extent, of my duties as an officer ol tho United Stales Gov? ernment- duties, tho duo performance of which, I um every way bound to provide for; or, on thc other, an unsatisfactory and partial discharge of thc obligations which would be imposed upon mo as a member of thc conven? tion. The duties of my office at this season are p.uch that a large part of them can be de? volved upon no other poison, and must be per? sonally performed in tho hours appropriated to thc sessions of tho convention. The labors I might perform as a member of that body would be only auxiliary to thoi e of o her equally or more competent men. With the hope that the action of tho >ody over which voa preside will be such as to r ?erit the approval of good mon ?veiywhere, and re? ceive the endorsement of all right-thinking men in our State, I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, FREDERICK A. SAWYER. Tho resignation was accepted. The President suggested that it wou'd be proper to take early stops to fill the vacan jv in tho Charleston delegation thus occasioned. N. G. Parker moved that the convention pro teed to elect a reading and engrossing < lerk, and au additional docn keeper, and that -bree messengers bo appointed by the chair. R. C. DeLarge (colored) opposed the idea of having so many '-hangers on,' and digging so deoply into tho treasury as their appoint? ment would necessitate. If they kept on. they would soon bavo aa many attendants as dele? gates. J. J. Wright (colored) agreed with Del arge. ''Most of UB," ho said, '-bavo been ueed to waiting on ourselves, and I think we can do it yet." [Laughter.] R. C. DoLarge moved thal the lumber "three" be substituted by "two." The amendment was adopted, and the motion thou agreed to. On motion of B. F. Whittemore, Pail M. Po inset t( a colored mau) was elected assistant secretary; and on the motion of a colored dele? gate, Wm. R. Mitchell falso a colored mari) was elected engiossing clerk. The latter, it was stated, formerly held a clerkship in tho Provost Marshal's office, under General Gilmore. The convention then took a recess until 8 o'clock, P. M. EVENING SESSION. Tho convention reassembled at eigbf o'dook, and tho roll being caled, ono hundred a ad ten delogatcs responded to their names. The President announced that a quorum was prosont and thc convention ready to proceod to business.
