Mr. Schofield said that yesterday evening's
Express contained a statement that one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court had declared in
public that a majority of th? Supreme Bench
had declared the Reconstruction a ?ia uncon?
stitutional, and the court would so decide. He
moved to direct tho Judiciary Committee to
inquire whether the article was true, and
whether the facts constituted such a mis- <
demeanor as would justify the House in pre- (
scnting articles of impeachment. Adopted, {
97 to 67. The resolution applied to Judge 1
Field.

THE CONVENTION,
CONVENTION HELD BT AUTHORITY OF 1HE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS,
TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
IQ the convention yesterday the spouting ? vas
done gently, and even the intrusion of a haugh?
ty usurper, in the mortal shape of a sergeant
of police, failed to cause a row. The conven?
tion was on its dignity, and turned ita ingenu?
ous attention to the important question! of
negro bonds and delegates' pay. Corloy's
speech met with some attention, and is pre?
sumed to be the opinion of "a poor white"
upon a subject in which too many are inter?
ested.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONTENTION.
FOURTEEN TH DAY,
The convention met at 12 M. Prayer by
Bev. B. F. Wbittemore. The roll waa called
and journal read.
A GUARD SENT TO'THE CONVENTION.
The President said that he desired to sall
the attention of the convention to a communi?
cation which he had received this morring
through a sergeant of the city police fi om 1
General Glitz, addressed to Mayor G aili i, rd, j
requesting that official to send a sergeant, of I '
ponce and a squad ot men to attend the duly I <
sessions of the convention. I j
After the communication was read, the J 're- i
aident took occasion to say that be was not I <
aware of the cause of this request; that he iad I <
bad no consultation with General Glitz or any 11
other officer upon,the subject; and HB'simple l
duty, therefore, was to bring the matter to the I ?
attention of the convention and leave the mom- I '
bera to take such action as they saw proper I ?
with reference to it. Not knowing the I 1
ibjeot contemplated by the authorities, be did j t
not feel authorized to admit tbe policemen, IL
md had thereiore given instructions to the c
doorkeeper to exclude any member of the ?
[orce, until the decision of the convention was I H
made known. .1 \
B. F. Wbittemore (white), moved that a c
lomrmtteo of three be appointed to wait upon I B
jeneral Glitz, Commanding the Post of I c
Charleston, anu inquire of hun why ho con-1 b
lidered it necessary to send the proteo non I
nentioned in his communication to the (ion- I r
renti?rt. 3 I
W. J. Whipper (colored), moved to add, "and a
hat pending the report of that committee no I ti
joliceman bo admitted to the floor of tbe I u
io uso." fi
The question was then taken, and the Chair C
announced that the motion as amended waa I ri
inanimonsly agreed to. i I o
The Chair named as a committee B. F. I ti
Yhittemore, A. J. Ransier (colored), and Bose, j ri
f York. - o
THE POLICE EJECTED. I fl
The officer who bore the communication was I ?!
?ergeant Fuller, a well-known citizen of I ?i
: har let ton, and in all respects a gentleman. ! ;
.'he letter waA returned to him, and Die!ten?
on, the. colored doorkeeper, with a very un- I ?
ec ea sary and offensive movement, then waited I {*!
n the sergeant to the door, dosing it rudely I ir
i his face. 0. P. Leslie (white), a minuta or Tl
wo afterwards, took oe JOSI on to say to Lick- I <j7
uson that he should have treated a rc pre- j:'
enta ti ve of the authorities, whether military I r!
r civil, more politely, and not, because he
?aa "dressed in a Uttie brief authority, play ly
ach faut as t?o tricks before high heaven,' ?c.
t ia needless to say that Sergeant Fuller was fr
ery much, chagrined at the in s alt offered to IT
im, in- the presence of the convention, by
Heit duly appointed agent, especially when ap- ?
earing there m the double capacity of an ipr e- ~
mtativo of the civil and military departments ?
t the government. What General Chtz is "?
jpposed to have thought at tho return to w

ion of the rights, liberty and property of every I
u di vidual that citizens shall be tr.'ed by e
udges as impartial as the law of humanity will li
Denni t them to be; and therefore that all officers r

tor Confederate notes and bonds, which were j
now null and void, and thereby had beeu re- ,
iuced to poverty. 1'hey, therefor?, pray the ,
convention to adopt measures of roiiof which ,
are fair, just and merciful.
W. G. Whipper (colored), moved that the pe- j
tion be hud upon the table, but ou a division of
the bouse it was, by a small majority, referred j
to the Committeo on Petitions.

Wlvereas, The present system of pleading,
by which tho administration ol' justice is regu?

ing for the levy end collection of a tax to pay

CONTRACTS BASED OS SLAVES.
The report of the committee on the ab
Bubjoct coming up next in order, was rea?
Becoud time.
J. M. Rutland, of Fairfield, said he thou)
that thia was not a proper subject for the o
sideraci?n of the convention. All matters
this kind should be left to the courts to det
mine, whether they are valid or not. In
opinion it smacked somewhat of the spirit
revenge, upon n class of people who hod be
identified with the institutions of the past,
lid not stand here to advocate the moral rif
if shivery ; he never did believe it right for c
nan to hold another in bondage, and call h
iroperty. ?xxt such was the law of the hu
?lavos were property ; were bought and ao,
ind tho country was bound to recognize thc
is property, as long as the institution existe
if t ais ordinance was intended to punish ;
hos ) who dealt in slaven, it did not effect i
ibjeot at alL If these contracts were to be d
ilared null and void, the result would be sit
?ly to punish ooe party-ho who Bold tl
laves, and to pay a premium to the man wt
?ought ; and both were morally guilty. Aai<
rom this fact, however, the cou vention was a
embled to frame a constitution, and not to d
ide questions the decision of which clear
?longs to the courts or 1AW? '
8. Corley (white), of Lexington, followed, an
ead the following speech :
Mr. President : The resolution invalidatin
ll contracta, the consideration of which wa
he purchase or sale of slaves, ia of doubt ft
tility, and highly dangerous as a precedent
ir the guidance of future legislation. Th
Constitution of the United States denies th
ight of any State to pass an ex post facto law
r any law impairing the obligation of con
racts. It is proposed, in the adoption of thi
^solution, to violate this plain principle of th'
institution, thus clearly expressed. Wo ari
'arning a constitution for the purpose of re
instructing this State, that she may take
ace more, the proud position of an equal ii
ie great sisterhood of States composing thc
Great Bepubhc." And is it possible that am
ie here expects 1 . er to bo admitted to so nobk
id honorable a position by endorsing, ooutrarj
?the letter of the constitution, th J repudia
ou of any debts or contracts whatever?- ?or
inly we cannot bo so completely deluded 1
he idea "hat because man oannot bo rightfully
sid as property, is not, and cannot bo, any
gal right to his services as such, is fallacious
. tho premises, and, therefore, entirely false in
ie conclusion, and utterly untenable in fact
id every day practice. Pei haps more than
alf the members of this convention can testify
tat they were once held as slaves, bought and
?ld as property, and legally held os such, un?
ir the lash of the task-master-against the
justice of which there was no appeal, either
State or Federal courts. This being admitted,
bat reason can bo urged for settiDg aside any
ich contracts? Is there any difference between
0 seller and buyer in a moral souse? If the
t of the speculator in tho bones and muscles
man waa criminal, that of tho purchaser
ui equally, and even more so. The slave
wier made__np pre1 nierv *? Vu?
1 sold as anbrate, and separated from her
rover under the sanction of the pious pnest,
ao denounced the act, and yet purchased the
aid. I can see no good reason tor denying
o seller's right to collect the purchase money
im him, whose pious clamor now denouueos
o contract as an outrage upon justice and
j ut. If the pions purchaser were not an
lot, incapable of entering into a contract-if
> got, in hiB own estimation, at that time,
ilue received tor bia obligation to pay, it ls
it the right nor the legitimate business of
ila convention, whether or not he was a fool
, accepting as property that whioh, I trust,
s all hold could not be rightfully claimed as
loh. It does not alter the ca^e to argue that
tis species of property was held by force, and
ie pressure being removed by violence-by
ilentles8, cruel, bloody war-therefore, tho
iligation is impaired. He who soils a horeo
ir cash or credit does not thereby obligate
imself to secure to the purchaser tho Bervioes
'. that animal during his natural life. The
?mer mar so uso hun as to forfeit his right
id title in him, and if he does forfeit that
ght by violation ot law, then there remains
t) right with him to deny the payment of the
jnsideration. The slaveholders of tho South
DUCOCted the rebellion for the expresa pur
0B6 of perpetuating slavery. They madly
lised their hands against the best govern
lent on earth simply to koop themselves in
mee, and rivet more firmly the chains of tho
ufortunate slave. By that rash oct, and by
Bing the services of the slave to sustain it,
ley forfeited all rights of property m the
une, under the constitution, which defines
reason and authorizes its punishment. The
?gal right of the master being forfeited, ai d
ie United States Govoinment denying the
?oral right to hold suoh property, the legal
ight again reverted to the original owner,
'hieh ls the slave himself, lt does not matter
rhother he or his former master has the bill
f aole, the foot is patent, and the gladdened
reedman feels that ne is his own master and
as the right to exercise his own body and
lind in the pursuit of happiness.
' But if we admit the validity of such con
roots, will that admission in any way subject
he United States to a liquidation of the claims
f loyal mastors, whose pioperty was wrenched
rom their hands by the war? Certainly not 1
ly permitting themselves, and tho said prop
rty, to DO used in the interest of tho rebel
ion, they forfeited every such right, by simply
emaining in bad company. Lot saved himself
,y learing Sodom, but if he had remained all
us righteousness would have been inadequate.
Che innocent must suffer with the guilty, be
tause they acted with them. Tho man who
vas loyal, and was forced into the rebel army,
bough beloved the government, and was shot
is a rebel, was thus compelled to accept
?he situation in tho sacrifice of lifo to rebel
itrverseness; and. certainly, thoso who could
lot, or did not, provbut their property from
leing used by tho rebellion for its success,
munot expect to be paid by tho government
for its losd, particularly when, as a military
necessity, its destruction, as property, was es?
sential to save the life of the nation. The poor
man lost hiB life and these Blave drivers only
their property; and I think tho latter have
greatly the advantage, and may thank God
that they have still their heads on. As the
government cannot replace the heads of loyal
men, I know it never will the property of those
who have lost less than life. I am willing to
go as far as any one, by inserting the strongest
clauses in our conutitutiou that can bo written,
to perpetuate freedom and equal rights to all,
but I am not williug to relieve one class of our
citizens from their obligations at the expense
of another, simply because they have lost their
property by an illogal procosa, to right them?
selves Dy wronging others. Wo have already
pledged this same convention asaitist repudi?
ation, and tbe United States courts iu this
State have decided in favor of these contracts,
aid it is certainly too late to defy the law, rea?
son and common sense. I cannot consent to
relievo this class of creditors; while my poorer
neighbors, whoso dobte for property, more
wisely and judiciously contracted, are, at
least, as justly entitled to relief by representa?
tion as any of those quondam slaveboldiers.
There is no justice in the demand, and the
precedent itsolf will be fatal to our success.
When I remember that those who are Indebt?
ed for slaves were stronger props in the rebel?
lion than those who felt slavery insecure, and
sold out-and thr.t they exempted themselves
from the perils of the bal tie-field to watch over
and protect their slaves, while I, with thous?
ands of my poor countrymen, were forced to
face the leaden bail of the Union army, simply
to keep them in power us our masters and as
yours (alluding to the colored members), I
cannot respect myself longer by relieving them
of their foolish obligations, while I bind my
self and you to oars. Lat mos av for once and
for all, that, personally, I are no interest in
the matter. I have no axe t> grind 1 I have
never sold or bought a slave I I have had the
means to have done so, bat 'hile yet a boy I
vowed eternal hostility to slvery. and deter?
mined never to claim for ryself any right
which I denied to others. Fe the last twen?
ty-five years I have been peseouted and spit
noon, because of my devotin to the Union
and to freedom. I have ben hunted down
like a wild beast, threatened with death, and
subjected to attempted exp.tnation, simply
because of my public avow? of belief in the
great principals of the Declaration of American
Independence. Thank God, ?e spell has been
broken at last I and that the bow which struck
the shackles from the nandi of the slave has
also made me freo.l I thankGod that I have
at last the opportunity, ae be representative
of the free people of my mtiva district, to
vindicate my right to free speech upon the
floor of this convention: and, still claiming for
myself no right which I denj te others, I de?
mand that while I and my no? slaveholding
friends are required to pay our debts, that
every quondam slaveholder shill pay his, or
show some better reason for his delinquen?
cies than any Toto of mine shill afford, in the
settlement of this question or tho floor of this
house.
On motion of B. F. Whittenore, the further
consideration of tho subject was postponed
un til one o'clock on Monday.

CHIME IN THE CAROLINAS.-The New York
imes comments editorially upon Colonel Wit
ird's letter, and, in conclusion says :
On another point, Colonel Willard's state?
ments deserve notice. What the South pro?
minently requires is the influx of Northern
apital and enterprise, neither of which can
>e looked for so long as tho South is held up
a a vast theatre of lawlessness and outrage.
?he general tendency of reporta received from
hat section iu connection with the passing
onteat of politicians, is moat unfavorable to
ts credit. Wo cannot doubt that thousands
re deterred from seeking homos m the higher
lortioua of tho Carolinas by the prevailing
mproasion that lifo and property aro there
iqnally insecure. Colonel Willard, on the other
land, as'iurca those who contemplate emigra
iou thither that they may go with confidence
lot only in rcspoet of porsoiiol safety, but of
bo success which awaits well-directed enter
irizo.

ivritoB:
The past weok has boon a hard one in mer?
cantile circles. Seven failures are reported,
?omo of these are callod auspensions only, and
mo or two ot tha parties aro said to be com?
promising with creditors. The aggregate
failures since tho first of January are said to
bo twenty-five, with liabilities amounting te
*2,950,000.
To tho infinite disgust of the smaller dealers,
the leading dry goods establishment in Broad?
way gives notice that ou and after to-morrow it
will roduco its prices on certain fine qualities
of goode from 12 to 15 per cent., applying
especially to silks. This will compel other
houses to follow their example, or do without
trade altogether.
In tho wholesale market, however, some
kirrfls of goods have been advancing within
tho few dava past. Cambrics are 12J cents
per yard dearer; New York Mills are held at 25
cents, and, toge her with many bleached and
brown goods, aro sold shesd of production.
Thc manufacturers of prints have been trying
to put up prices lal* cents, but have not suc?
ceeded. In wool flannels a fair businoss is

Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, has arm

Hack, his attorney, left the city some da

The Radicals, it appears, are determined
dopt some measures looking to a contnl

eady as they would desire to hastily legisla

The Committee on Freedmen's Affairs have
?structed their chairman, JIT. Eliot, to re?
tort a bill to the House continuing the Freed'
nun's Bureau for one year after the 16th ol
inly next.
This matter will be brought before the House
luring the next few days. Tho committee are
unanimous in the opinion that tho condition ol
.flairs in the South make it necessary to con
inue the Bureau..
Extensive corresnondonce has been held with
lersons in every State where the Bureau is ic
>peration and the opinion everywhere prevails
.nat it would result in much evil to the freed
nei to discontinue tho Bureau at the present
imo.
The bill to bo reported authorizes the Sec?
retary of War to discontinue the operations
)f the Bureau in any State which is fully
estorod in its constitutional relations to the
government and is represented in Congress,
jnlesa such continuance in said State shall be
accessary.
The bill does not affect or interfere with the
Bureau unless thc State in which said Bureau
s discontinued shall make provision for edu

THE RAMPAOEOUH MBS. POLLABD.-The Bal?
timore Gazette, of Wednesday, has a detailed
account of the rampageous conduct of the
mild, meek and mannerly Mrs. E. A. Pollard.
It seems that Mrs. Mattine Pollard, wife of
E. A. Pollard, author of the -'Lost Cause," en?
tered tho store of Dr. Moore, on Hanover
atreet, and catechized him aa to the where?
abouts of her husband, intimating to
him that she believed that he (Moore)
knew where Pollard was. He replied
that ho was not able to give the informa?
tion. She persisted in her inquiries,, and, as
she stood near the door keeping it open during
her interrogations, the Doctor requested her
either to come in or close tho door and leave.
8ho declining, Moore advanced toward her,
whether for the purpose of ejecting her from
tbe premises or not is yet unproven.
Simultaneously with this movement the click
of a pistol was hoard, and Mooro charged her
with an attempt to Bhoot him. Sho denied
the dargo, saving that the sound was that
of keys in hor pockets. Moore, not being sat?
isfied with her explanation, and perceiving a
renewed offort on her part to shoot, endeavored
to oust her from tho store, whereupon she, ac?
cording to tho testimony elicited at Moore's
house ijoforo Justice McKinley, deliberately
pointed the pistol at Moore, shooting him
through tho left wrist. Tho weapon used was
one of Alleu's single-barreled cartridge pistols.
In her defence she alleged that Moore had,
somo time back, inflicted blows upon her, and
she denied tho shooting, or even the having of
tho pistol. She said that sho thonght she ob?
served her husband in Moore's store when she
pasaod it, and that was the cause of her re?
turning to and entering it.
From information dorived outside of the ex?
amination before tho Justico, it appealed that
for over nineteen years there has been a close
intimacy between Dr. Moore and E. A. Pollard.
It is stated that either for some real or imagi?
nary grievances, Mrs. Pollard threatened, two
or three weeks since, the lifo of Mooro. De?
clining to givo bail, sue was committod to jail
by Justico McKinley, on tho charge of shoot?
ing and attempting to kill G. A. Moore.
