CONVENTION HELD HT AUTHORITY OF THE I BECONBTBUCTION.LAW8 OT CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOB SOUTH CAROLINA. i The deliberations of tho last tea days have made the observer somewhat; acquainted with the m emt ere of the Convention who are likely ta influence and direct the sentiment of the body, and we avail ourselves of the opportuni? ty to continue bur 'leMere of introduction" to the public. .L \. '. ?. . MOSE PEE FIOTUBJB. First, we will take up old Lemuel Boozer, of Lexington District. Having been in the legis-, lsture for many years, he is hot only more J generally known, bot po secases a Urger famili? arity with parliamentary prooeedings than any of his brethren on the.floor. He is about sixty, years of age, has' a benevolent bump on his head, which looks Uko a swelling; a email twinkling eye, suggestive of ?jaka somewhere behind it, making it ready to pop ont; and a smooth shaven face; which, with its crown of whits hair, gives him the most vwB?raWe as? pect in the convention., Moderate in. "iews, he is a healthy check on Sim Corky, a white col? league from Lexington, who is Radical to the marrow, but fortunately possessed of too little influence to be dangerous. Charles P. Lealio, af Barnwell is tbs limon Suggs of the convention. Even in his most serious moments he is the funniest man con? ceivable. . He is so thin that yon can hear his bones Tattle when he walks. The wind whist* ling through five such individuals standing side by side in an ordinary breeze would make a good imitation of an Eolian harp. His voice is a sharp tenor, and words pour forth from I beneath a pale mustache with a staccato move? ment, and in a style which indicates that he is very much in earnest, and vat; much person? ally aggrieved. He is a fair Laired, bine eyed man of thirty, sharp faced and keon, ?nd looks ss if all his, life he had been edging through t crow,d^of peopJe^whom he has had reason to sus personal corporosity. His eloquence is spas modic and. well watered, but generally to th< point. Rumor hath it that he was once, a mem- j ber of the General AB8cmbly of New York. AU present he is a rural, merchant. R. H? Cain, surnamed '-Rev.," is a colored m cm ber from Charleston, ostensibly, but in fae t from Virginia. When or why he came hither is not known beyond bis own circle, but from his public confessions in a speech on Saturday. rasTT his visit has added five or s e ven thousand dollars to his former wealth. To and from ihe con? vention he rides a small sand tacker, which ls al wayo on the pump,, as if his master wis i going to dinner. Robust' in person, confider.t jm manner, with native shrewdness written in every line of his face, and a ready, facility for keeping on the whining side, Cain adds to these qualifications a fluency of speech which securea for him hot a little of the respeot and admiration of the colored crowd. Whenever he says anything of a peculiarly bitter charac? ter, he sugar-coats it with a benign smile, BUCL as a Feejee Islander bestows on an-un? cooked Christian missionary whom he is about to eat. On the whole, Cain is a fair speoimon of 1le Tn tel Bgen t Northern educated negro. . Niles G, Parker, a whit? delegate from Barn? well, holds like in BO by military appointment the position of Alderman of . the .dixy of Charleston. Originally from Massachusetts, the receding' waves of war left him high and dry on the beach m Pickons District, where he commanded a military post. How he "swing around the circle" to Barnwell and Charles ?n deponent kneweth-not. A Ma Machos aita Dian by birth, he possesses much of that short, quick, emphatio style and go-aheaditivesess which is characteristic of bis race-a piston rod in perpetual motion. He is not a fluent speaker, but is suggestive and practical and may do much in controlling the tempesti of "We the sovereign people in convention as? sembled, ? Ac Captain Parker is about thirty five years of age, delicate in build, fair-ha red and comely, and a correct type of the progres? sive Becorj tructionist. L. S: Langley (colored . from Beaufort is, we are informed, a Michigander. First a soldier, then a lawyer, how a delegate to the Convention, it is a reasonable inference that his next bound upward will be into the velvet chaire of the House of Representatives at Washington. Nor would he be ont of place there, for he is both black and boisterous, If his body was a steam-boiler and his mooth a safety valve, he couldn't be more irr ep rest i bk. He "lispths" fearfully, talks loudly, argues tempestuously, and when he makes his favor? ite speech-"M?riter Prethident, I thecond the mothion," a violent jerk of the head s jems necessary to dislocate the words in his tliroat an?^?lrowH?rrfm across the halt- Ho's ftiany. W. G. Whipper, on the other hand (also colored, and from the same district-also a soldier and lawyer), is as smooth in his style and imperturbable in actryc as if he lived ou a diet of Bweet oil. Nothing ruffles him. He stands a cross-fire in debate like a porcr.pine, and returns dart for dart. Bylong oddn the most impressive and convincing speaker rn the convention, he has insured the respeot of every member of the body by an exhibition of courtesy and modesty that is commendable. He is one of the few who dares to beli ive it safe, in a popular point of view, to "let the dead paBt bury its dead," and who, white once animated by the prejudices of bis Northern confreres, now realizes that a spirit of kind? ness and conciliation will do more than any? thing else to harmonize the conflicting in? terests of the people. PROCEEDINGS OP THE CONTENTION. TENTH DAT. The convention met at 12 o'clook, M.. and waa opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Jackson, an outside white. The roll was called und the journal read. "The'PreBident, A G. Mackey, appeai'edand took his seat. Beporte from standing committees were called, and F. J. Moses,-Chairman of the 1 utivettommittee, read a report, stating the Executive Committee, to whom wen fetrred toe preamble and resolutions re m on ding the removal of State officers, deo tl.at tho removal Of these officers at the ort time would ' be prejudicial, and they reoomi tl at the preamble and resolutions be lai< tho table, boliovir.g that the removal of o:Beers should be left to the people. ' Il moved that the preamble and resolution h jd on the table, which was adopted wi fow disse ntrag voices.. Niles G. Parker, from tho Committee o: nance, pres anted tho following report, on pay ana mil Bago of members: The Gomm Itt ee on finance, to whom was re? the ordinance in r?f?rence to pay and milea? members, abb the ordinances authorizing this leatarn to pledge the raith and credit of the Stat tba redemption of .'000,000 of the hills recelvab the Stats," and the "sale of a portion of them t tray the expeoaee of thia convection," and an nanee ..directing this oomnrittee to report at as .ly day some plan for the levy and. collection of rm Os property of this State, authorized by (tresa, to mest tte expenses of this convention," leave to subrait tue following report: That, In view af the pressing necessities of :nembers of this, convention, your committee prepared , tia measures herein set forth at a n seiner flay that they otherwise should, and ato fl?tenle tatt of being charged with ? sllghtoonsic ion ofa va? r important matter. four com ni tte* has reported a section in thi linanco pledging the faith and credit of the ? Jar the redemption of the $500,000 of bills recel VJ authorised by the act of Assembly ot South Care of December, 1685; and a a apple mental act In i tember. IflQO This is Indispensable, not only to secure tom bera of the convention compensation and 1mmed relief, but also a lund by which tho legislature, w lt assemblus under our new government, ma' paid its per* dum and mileage. The pledge herein given will, in the opinlo your committee, secure confidence in this ourrei which is now at a discount, causing it to apprec m value, and the failure to make this pledge cause a lou to the State, a loas to the member the convention, and when the legislature aeseml there win be no fund whatever from which its penaea can be paid. The small amount of those bills, now outstandi ??.919. ta view of the fact that one-half of the ts ordered to bo collected, under General Order Ko. : are to be paid during the month ot Maren, andwb will, lt ls estimated, yield to the Treasury $176,00C tho middle of April, will leave not a dollar of the b Iq circulation (provided prompt payment is mat even Innludtng tho $76,000 necessary to defray expenses' of this convention, and the llsbuneineu $90,000 more, which lt ls estimate? it will take meet the wanta ot the present pro fisiona! gove ment during this period, in payment of quarte salaries, Ac. ; but there would be a balance of $60,i In greenbacks in the Treasury, ^nt we can Kif leave that off as no such prompt payment will made. ?rho endorsement will reheve the new Legisla ti from embarrassment, and that body can proceed w its work in framing such legislation AB may be nee sary to carry out the provisions of the new const! Hon. The several operations of the government mi also be carried on-tho Lunatic Asylum, Penitent ry, Prisons and Courts, must ail be sustained, so tl society shall be protected and the life, liberty a: property of th? citizen be a ecu red. In any view which the convention may take of t matter, whether additional Aoto of Beconstructli may be passed, whether the prenant Provision Government may be continued until the new conti tufton bas been ratified hy the people, accepted i Congress, and the new government placed in bper ti on, these expenses must be met; and inasmuch these bins receivable are the only currency whit asa be relied upon, it behooves every dozen of tl State to give them the largest value. In doings ?n unqualified pledge for their redemption, accor tog to the terms of the act authorising this issn ongfc_io be made. The Treasurer of the State ls a bot ?Jed officer, an there is no reason to distrust his nde.lity. Kopo tion'Of ?tese bills receivable can be paid from tl Treasury, except In conformity to the appropriatioi Of the order of General Can Dy and the existing lai There ltt therefore,-no danger M the fund bell squandered, Inasmuch as it ls regn'ated by law, an its custodian, the Treasurer, is under bonds $100,000, with abundant securities. " Your committee also think it important that th convention should givo a solemn pledge that all ti obligations of the bute should be liquidated and pal * /Um?firJlcst practical dur. ?Ad win.the k?st ic coi ?MsrSr^BB Y*"**- ?S? 3555 maiT1 mentioned in connection with tho bills reccivabl since the endorsement of these obligations by th convention would tend to restore tile bonds by whic they are represented--to their former value, and I ensure the conn lenee of capitalists at home an abroad to the same. Tour committee, therefore, have reported-a sei tien Ti*Wng such an endorsement, taking care, hov, ever, to declare null and void all obligations entere into by the State, either to aid the State of Sont Carolina or the so-called Confederate States in tb rebellion against the Government and authority c the United States. An unequivocal declaration thi thia class of eMssi against the Sate shall never t paid, should, we think, be made by this body, an thus put at rest all apprehension that at any futur time any citizen of South Parolina shall be taxed on cent to pay a debt to destroy thejJnlon. Tour com mittee, after full consideration and consultation wit the Commanding General, are of the opinion tha the taxes levied may be most conveniently collootci by the means suggested, by General Can by in hi General Order No. 139, and he has promised hi hearty co-operation m that work. They, therefore recommend that the same persons shall collect th taxes, they being officers duly appointed by law ani under heavy bonds, and to transfer the same to thi Treasury of the State for the immediate pay of thi mileage and per diem of the members of this body together with its necessary expenses. When thi ppblic observes that while the convention place $70,900 of these bilis in circulation in addition tx those already out, a tax is levied to be collected, hal m March and tho other in July, to reimburse tl? treasury for the outlay which lt will tmske to thii convention, it will, In the Judgment of your com mitton, prevent the depreciation of these bills, ant with the pledges given we see no reason why the] slioulc'i ant, at an early day, appreciate very nearly txfffiblx Toll "varna.-1- . -^ -.. In considering this report the committee hop? that the convention will keep constantly in view *h< Important fact that our State Inancea are one of th? Important matters, not only of this convention, bui of the people of the 6 ta te-the whole people-no: only now, but in the future. We are not legislattnj or framing a constitution for to-day, but forth? rature. It must be borne in mind that if a constitution li adopted by this convention, and accepted by th? people, it ls almost absolutely certain that it will ht by Congress. That such will be the result, this com mittoe have no shadow of doubt; hence, a legislature will, within a short time, assemble, when large addi tiona! expenses for the Btate will he Incurred. War this the last expense that the new government which fa about to be organized could inflict upon the State, and our interest as citizens nf tho State should cease here, a very diff?rent plan than the .one pro? posed might be recommended;, but with the firm conviction that this is only the Deginning, and with a conscientious desire to discharge our duties to the State wi'h fidelity-with a desire to increase the con? fidence of all the people of the State and elsewhere -place the credit of the State upon a firm basia, and In the belief that the adoption of the course herein recommend ed will accomplish much to bring about such a result-your committee have unhesitatingly made the recommendations herein contained. Ibis body is In-want cf money now. The Congress, ot the United States gives us power to levy and collect a tax. Under that authority it ia .clearly in the province of this body to authorize the levy and the collection within five days; but it would bu impossi? ble to execute euch an order. We might order it tu ten, fifteen, or thirty days, but it could not ba col? lected within that period, A roaeonable time would be asked and given. The dictates of humanity would demand it, if there were not other weighty reasons for lt It certainly would not bo wiso for this body to of? fend every citizen of the State in the very first act, by levying a tax to meet the expenses of this conven? tion, and forcing the collection of lt to the shortest possible ame. And though tho most arbitrary mea? sures be resorted to to collect a tax If Imposed, it la not sure that it would all be paid, and within a reasona? ble time. There is a stringent law for the collection of taxes now, there always has been, sud yet there are delinquents, there always will be. In view of the facts set forth, and in view of another fact,, viz: that there is no money now in the State Treasury, that ls, no State currency, and that if there was, there ls no absolute certainty that we could at once get possession of lt, inasmuch as wo have no authori ty to appropriate such money, but only power to levy a tax and colic:t it. Although your committee have not been met by such objections, and have no reason to expect any, yet, In view of the facta Just mentioned, and all the circumstances enumerated together with other considerations of importance hey have deemed it beet, in order to insure 1st, The most speedy payment of a portion due the members and officers of tho convention. 2d. To protect the credit of the State, and to res tore confidence and Increase prosperity. 3d. Levy a tax upon the property of the State according to law, and give the most liberal time for the payment thereof, and not to distress the people, who are already overburdened and op? pressed. 4th. With the view of acting lu harmony with the power whose authority we must obtain before we can take any money from the State Treasury (the Major-General commanding tho Military Dis? trict), your committee respectfully recommend that a tax shall be levied, collected and paid in the man? ner and form herein annexed ; AK OM) rs ANCE To levy a Special Tax to defray the Expenses of thit Convention, and to Preserve the Credit of the State. We, the people of the State of South Carolina, by our delegates in convention met, do ordain_ That there shall be assessed and collected by the Tax Collectors of tho several districts and pariahes in this State, in addition to the tax already levied, under General Orders No. 139, Issued from Head? quarters Second Military Diatrict, by Brevet Major General E.

Your committee would fur?-eraore state that (he j MMMBBBMM BB jSttSsS^S?i boen lesa, if of the bills receivable, which is The only moneyarclV . j able to meet the present demand ; but your commit- f tee confidently believe that rf the recommendation I of tina convention to-guarantee the entire amount of f. the billa receivable ls adopted, that the value of ?ooh hills will be so Increased that they will go np from I 80 or 86 to 80 or 95 cento or even more, as the time I ? draws near, when a considertble portion of the tax I levied becomeB due, and while a discount ls allowed I for prompt payment [See Sec 13, General Order I No. 189, from which the tax recommended to be I : levied in thia report ia a portion. ] It ls believed to be a peculiarly favorable time to I put into circulation a considerable amount of these I billa receivable, Inasmuch as one-half of the taxes I < levied by General Order No. 139, referred to, ia due J on or before the Slat day of Marah next, and the f balance on or before the 30th day of June next , s Tour committee could not recommend that a per rion only of these bills should be secured; it would," in their opinion, have rendered the. balance almost worthies'. It would, in their opinion, have destroy? ed confidence, weakened credit, and been both unjust and unwise. They have, therefore, recommended the guarantee of all the bills receivable of the Stets, issued by the Pro vissions! Government of Uris State, trusting to meet, not only the exigencies of to-day, but the no distant to ture, by bringing these bills Into general nae, and holding them to their full value. Tour committee could not recommend the aale of them, or any portion of them, at public auction. To pursue auch a course, would, in the opinion ot the committee, be very unwise. They would be bought up solely by speculators at a reduced price, the State would Buffer, and we should be mainly responsible for lt We should show that we are willing to take the bills ourselves, of tho State, we make. We may be compelled to sacrifice a small amount upon a por? tion of it for immediate nae, but the great bulk of lt can be carried to your hornee, and not a dollar will be sacrificed. It may be urged that thia convention should not touch those billa receivable, and that tney should issue banda to the amount of 8300,000, place them upon the market convert them Into green? backs, and pay the expenses of thia convention. There aro grave objections to that course, besides this objection, that to pursue auch a course would i not in all probability realize any money for at least thirty days, and in aU human probability within six- j ty or ninety, at least, wrthotit a far greater discount i than this convention would be wining to inflict upon the value, of such honda, and the consequent injury . it would Inflict upon the State of South Carolina. . It may bo urged that the bonds could be issued ' and competent business mon be entrusted to take ' them North-say to Boston or New York, and nogo- ! nate them at the best rate for greenbacks, and that oar friends-those who are in sympathy with the j present plan of reconstruction-would loan us the money at 6 or 7 per cent But your committee be? lieve that it is not yet time to take such a s tcp. Northern capital nae not yet commenced floating southward for Investment Another year of expert- 1 ment nae yet to be tried before there ls any reason? able hope that lt'wUL Such a plan would be ni wise and impracticable at the present Juncture of affaire. And the committee are furthermore of the opinion that such bonds would not sell at all m thia market and grave doubts aro entertained about their telling In any market In addition to tho report your committee would state that they have a communication from Head? quarters, Second Military District containing the views of the Major-General commanding, and, for the information of this body, will read that portion which expresaea opinion. [From Headquarters, Stand Military District-71.] The law of the United States, of March 23, 1867, limite tho convention in providing for the payment of ita expenses to "the lsvy and collection of auch taxes upon the property of such States aa may be nec? essity. If the rules estabUahed by the tax laws of the State should be jollowed, and tor convenience and econo? my in making the levy and collection, this course ia recommended, the subjects of taxation will boas fol? lows: 1.

The amount of "bills recelvaiile" now outatanc is ?90,919. It ia virtually essential to the cred the State that thia amount Should not be burrel if it be possible to avoid lt, and that the bas ne she be absorbed aa speedily as possible. Any ac hoi the convention looking towards a repudiado: these bills, or any other of the legitimate debt the State, or any increase in the amount now thnrlsed, or any discrimination in their appUcal would have an unfortunate effect upon the finan credit of the State, and be reflected dlaaetror upon all ita people. I cannot see any reason for Srehending that with an economical adminlf* on the expenses of the State for the current y< and of the convention, may nut be met without sorting to any farther increase, or to any other mi of raising supplies, and I think that as aeon ha tb questions lave been definitely acted upon by convention, market value of the "bills reoaivab will be enhanced. Your committee have also a letter from his Zxi lenny, the Governor of the State, written in replj a request for information, which they will read : "GBJJDCXBTOK. & C., January 25th, 186S -V, G. Parker, Esq., Chairman Committee on Finar I etc., Chartetbm,3. C.: Sra-On the receipt af your communication of t 21st, I addressed a letter to Wullara Hood, Ea Treasurer of the 6tate, requesting him to furnish I information which you seek, with reference to \ financial condition of the State. From bia r?ply you. will observe that a very sm amount of national currency la in the Treasury. Y will also note that of rna $soo,ooo of bills recevrai authorised to be Issued by the Act of Assembly December, 1866, there has been printed oz $390,000. Of this amount but ?222,000 has be ""Signed, registered 'and carried to cash for drcu bon," and there lo now In the vi alt. of the Treasu (U these billa receivable ?122.081, which leaves t ontetanding circulation $99,919. The unpaid taxes of the State, whereon eracutio are now in the hands of .various sheriffs, win rea about $130,000. What amount of. these executio can.be made available, I am not prepared to say. Vt the convention'should consider it expedient maa? any pledges for the redemption of tiese bl receivable, in connection with the debt of the Bia existing before tho war, it would, inmyjodgmei materially appreciate their value, and bring the op to par. The tax order issued by General Caul ?JUL. if falthfnfly executed by the different officers the Bute, yield about $330,000. If these taxes a :oUoctod, all of the billa which every month may 1 required to be Issued to carry, on the civil gover neut of the State will be absorbed by these tax ind returned to the Treasurer. There ls no good reason why these hula reoaivab ire now at so greata diccount I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, JAMES L. OBB, Governor of south Carolins. It was moved that tba report bo receive and ordered to be printed. Thoora i none connected with the' report was presented, an received its first and second readings hy ii title, and wa? also ordered to be prated* au made the special order for to-morrow 12 M. The President stated that to remove all fi tura discussions, be desired to make the fo lowing explanation: When called upon by hi fellow-citizens to b? a member of thia convei tion, be then determined upon bia course i regard to this question. As an officer of th United States he receives a compensation fe services rendered, and it was. bis fixed-and ur alterable decision not to receive any compensa tion or pay from the convention. The special order for the day waa callee and the President announced that the divisio of Pickena District had been made- the spedi order of the day at 1 P. M., and waa now bi fore the convention. nuAuM?i'rH W.6B gt?* -ff J- J- Wright to in and noes were caliea? "Tho Preaiaoili'staiS that the question Waa Oh the postponement c Ute consideration of the bill, which would hav come up for ita second reading. The secreta ry then called the roll, and the following vob was announced: ayes 33; noes 79. . E. W. M. Mackey offered an amendment t the original ordinance by substituting an oren nance to divide Pickens District into two dis trfete or counties, the division to be made ty the legislature on their first session under th< new constitution. The question of diviaion ti be first referred to the people of Pickena. T. J. Robertson moved an amendment, whei J. M. Rutland stated that the Committee oi Legislation had under discussion certain eec td ons to be incorporated into the confltitntioi that would refer all auch mattera to the legis lature, who would have power to act. E. \V M. Mackey and others explained their posi tiona, and a discussion arose, during which T J. Robertson called for the previous question, Ibis waa sustained, and the chair explainec the question to be whether the original or di nance.as reported by the committee shoulc pasa to ita third reading and be engrossed The vote being token by yeas and noes, result sd aa follows-ayea 65, noes 49. The ordi nance waa then ordered to be read the third tame. After several morions to postpone this reading toa futuro day, it was made the 9pernal order for Wednesday at 2 P. iL E. W. M. Mackey ?flered a r?solution that a clause be iucorporataiin ??fi constitution pro? viding that hereafter in sales of oil lundi either for taxes or executions of whatever sort, tho lands shall not bo sold in lots of moro than ono hundred and sixty aerea,' for the purpose of enabling all, by their own frugality and aconomy, to provide themselves with, a home? stead. Mackey moved that this be adopted immediately. T. J. Robertson thought it waa moat aa loanding to spring each a resolution on the house and try to rush it through by calling for the previous question before the members were acquaintod with the resolution. He con? sidered it a momentous question, and one that would affect generations yet unborn, and he boped that it would not be acted upon hastily, but would be referred to the appropriate com? mittee. B, C. DeLarge said he was more than sur? prised at .the remarks of the member, as the resolution waa one that had been already con? sidered by all on the floor, and he could see nothing that could be gained br any useless discussion. The resolution took bis rights from no one, but enabled the poor to' purchase homesteads that were offered for Bale. It was a well-known proverb that small eales brought large profits, and the salo of land in the quan titiea referred to would prove a benefit tcrtho owners. It waa ono of the bes1; means to ben? e?t future generations, and be believed the gentleman was in favor of iL It was foolish to waste the money of tho State by consuming time in debate. Ail were prepared to vote, and should settle the question at once. F. J. Moses, Jr., said that he waa not op? posed to the resolution, and wau not committed on either side, but he did think it sprung upon the convention. The proper conree to pursue would be to refer it to tho appropriate com? mittee, and he hoped this would be done. E. L? Cardoza said he was of the same opin? ion as Robertson. There ware some in the convention Who seemed to think that they have full control. They propose resolutions and rush them through by calling on the pre? vious question, though tue same gentlemen had voted against eimilur resolutions on Satur? day. lt, C. DeLarge said that if the remarks were referred to him, they were "false and slander? ous." T. J. Robertson Bald that be was opposed to hasty legislation, and though he was m favor of the resolution, he thought it should be re? ferred. The Chair announced that Major D. T. Cor? bin was present and introduced him to the convention. Major Corbin, in acknowledging the introduction, -ni'i: Gentlemen of the con venvention, my purpose ie not to make any lengthy remarks, but simply to thank you for tho boase you have conferred upon me in electing mai one of your solicitors. Hoping that your efforts to frame a constitution and restore the State to the Union will be success? ful. I wish you Godspeed. A, J. Rangier, in referring to the question before toe house, said that he appreciated the Sosition of the people of the State, and would o anything to relieve their necessities by ac? tion in the convention, but be thought that springing the previous question would be a gag to the house. It waa unwise and hasty, and ii he bad thought it could be of any benefit, he would hive sustained it. He defined his posi? tion at some length. Beverly Nash mado a humorous epeeob in connection with thia subject, in which he said he hoped the reeolutior would pass, though he knew lt would be of l?o benefit to the poor. The convention had pissed su ordinance on Saturday, petitioning General Canby to sus? pend all tax sales for three months, to allow the convention time to organize some new plan of rehef. Tnis plan mmit s two years' stay law, ano yet the: member frc aa Charleston wished to have the land sold.' Hs would vote for the res? olution to oblige the gentleman, but from no belief in its utility, ts . - - . t. Charles P. Los lie BA? i he could not see why the old fogies of the convention should object to, the delegate from Orangeburg (E. W.H. Mackey) moving the previous question when- 1 ! ever he felt so dispose-L, aa he did it with such giaoe, and his -attitude a^d manner were so striking. The gentleman waa certainly better acquainted with parliamentary tactics than any one else on the floor,.and consequently more capable of pressing these points. Mr. Leebe said that no had rrn:a plantation once, and did it as well aa he coi lld, and knew something about the subject. Poor land seldom pro? duced more than six buShela to the acre, and unless this bind was fenced, lt was not worth much. He did not thins: that one hundred , acres were enough foi a poor man. It was alt gammon for the gen denian to talk about the ? poor, for it did pot amount to one cent. The i man who had the money would buy th? land,' aa ha? always been tie case. He moved-that [ tta.reaplution be. referred to the appropriate committee. ' . , WJ. Whipper abd K J. Wright both spoke ott the same subject, urging that the resolu? tion be referred to tho appropriate committee. E. W. M. Mackey moved that it be referred to a special commitine of five, to report on Thursday morning. This waa lost, and the , Chair decided that it be referred to the Oom- | rmttee on_the MiscelLmeona Provisions of the Constitution. Mr.B.F. vVbittemoie ofieredareacJuticn pro? viding that the plant ?rs of the State should be compelled to pay all contracta with the negroes at once, and calling upon General Ganny to withhold such portions of crops for the benefit of freedmen as were covered by their claims. Bsf?rr?d to the Corni rd ttee on P?titions. B. B. Elliott, of Eclgeneld, offered a resolu? tion that the committee having in charge the petition dividing Ot ingeborg, - Barnwell and lexington Districts, be requested to report on Wednesday. j The convention than adjourned. --~ S tww 1 1 SSS9B*aaBBB J ? orri tb.
