THE CONVENTION, CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. THTBTT-BEVENTH DAT. The convention yesterday made good time. Seventeen sections of the judiciary article of the constitution were passed to their third reading. There was much discussion, but tit? tie amendment, and the article is nearly in rho shape in which it was originally published in THE NEWS. District and Probate Courts have been obliterated. The Supreme Court is to consist of a chief justice aDd two associate justices, any two of whem shall constitute a quorum. They are to bo elected by a joint voto of the General Assembly for a term of six years, and to be .10 classified that one of the judges Bhall go out of office every two years. The President announced that he bad receiv? ed a communication from Senator Howard, to whom an invitation to address the convention was extended, acknowledging the receipt of the same. He says that the present condition of affairs in Washincton makes it his duty to re? main at the capital for the present, but ho trusts the necessity will soon be removed, and he will then take pleasure iu visiting Charles? ton, and addressing the convention. The Committee on Petitions gave the key? note of the future political action of tho Re? publican party by reporting in favor of one - Thomas Owens, of Laurens District, who prayed that bis disability, resulting<rfrom felony, might be removed. The committee state" that they are "satisfied of hiB loyalty," and therefore recommend that his prayer be granted. Tbe report was adopted. The same committee had under consid? eration a resolution, offered by Mr. Jen ka. of Berkeley, to petition Congress to tako no action looking to the reduction or repeal of tho 8resent import doty on rice, but recommended lat the subject be laid upon the table. Mr. Jenks took the floor a: .J made a strong practical speech, setting forth tbo following facts: That an attempt was about to bc made in Washington to repeal the duty on rico, for the purpose of introducing Rangoon or India rice, and thus compete with our own borne pro? ductions: tbat if this were done, it would br.ng into market an interior article, produced by an oppressive system of labor, which would drive our own rice out of the market, and make its culture unprofitable. Finally, tbat the rice planters of the South required ali the Srotection which it was possible to secure for 2em, or their land must be sacrificed and sold at ruinous prices. Slave labor only could culti? vate rice and enable it to compete successfully with the imported article, and therefore Con gross owed it to the people of South Carolina ana to the freedmen working in their new re? lations upon rice plantations, to afford them every possible means of encouragement. The whole question, he said, was in a nut shell namely, whether the free labor of the South should be compelled to compete with the de? graded labor of other countries. On motion of J. J. rt rigut, tho resolution was made a special order for Monday next, at i o'clock. L. S. Langley offered a resolution, request? ing Congress to turn over to the Commissioner of the State the proceeds of tho sale of lands under tax executions, for the benefit ot the sohool fund of thu State. Referred to the Committee cn Education. The esme delegate offered the following Resolved, That this convention tender to the Congress of the United States, and to the Gen? eral commanding tbe army, the sincere and heartfelt thanks of the loyal people of South Carolina, for their noble devotion to the prin? cipies of constitutional law and civil liberty. E. W. M. Mackey moved to amend by includ? ing the Secretary of War. The amendment was agreed to. B. Byaa (colored), opposed tho resolution on the ground that the work of Congress was only half done. He did not propose to pay for labor that was yet incomplete, and preferred to wait a while to see tho upshot of the movements in Washington. The question then being taken, the resolu? tion was agreed to. F. J. Moses, Jr., and E. C. DeLarge wished their names recorded on the journal as voting "No." B. 0. Duncan, from a special committee of eight, reported the following ordinance, which was read the first time, ordered to be printed, and made tho special order for Monday at 12M.: The special committee of eight, to whom was referred the duty of learning how many Representatives South Carolina ls entitled to in the Congress of the United States, and of reporting a suitable division of the state into Congressional districts, have investigated the matter, and beg leave to report as follows : After the census ot 1860 a new apportionment of Representatives was made among the States. South Carolina then being entitled to lepre sentation for only three-hfths of her slave population, was entitled under this apportion? ment of Congress to only four Representatives. This act of apportionment is still in force, so that we are in reality entitled by act of Con? gress to only four members lu the lower houao of Congress. But our entire population, for which we aborld now be represented, entitles us to B?X representatives. As, however, it is doubtful if wo will be granted a larger number than the act of apportionment gives us, your committee recommend the following ordinance to be called ? AN ORDINANCE TO DIVIDE THE STATE INTO FOUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. We, the people of the 8tate of South Caro? lina, by oar delegates m convention assembled do ordain: 1. That the State ot South Carolina shall be, and the same is hereby divided into four Cou gressiona Districts, as follows : First Con? gressional. District, to be composed of the counties of Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlbo? rough, Darlington, 'Marion, Horry, George? town, WuliamBbucg, Sumter, Clarendon and Kershaw; Second Congressional District, to be composed of the counties of Charleston, Col leton. Beaufort and Barnwell; Third Congres? sional District, to be composed of the counties of Oiangeburg, Lexington, Richland, Newber? ry, Edgeneld, Abbeville and Anderson: and i,h? Fourth Congressional District, to be composed or the counties of Oconeo, Pickers, Greenville Laurens, Spartauburg, Union, York, Chester and Fairfield. 2. That until the next apportionment bo made by the Congress of the United States, each of the said Congressional Districts shall be entitled to elect one member to represent this State in the Congress of the United States. After such new apportionment by Congress, the l?gislature shall divido the State into as T??v Congressional Districts as we are en? titled to members in the House of Represent? atives. 3. At tho first election under this constitu? tion, two representatives shall bo elected at largo on the State ticket, to .opresent tho over? plus ot our population. Should they obtain seats, they shall continue to be so elected until tile new apportionment after the ceusus of 1870 The convention proceeded to the considera? tion of the judiciary department of the consti? tution. Many amendments were offered and voted down, 80 that with but little alteration tho ar? ticle is the same aa heretofore published. Section 5, providing that Judges of the Su p?eme Court shall give their opinions on im? portant questions of constitutional law was stricken out; it being held that this was the duty of tho Attorney-General. Section 15 was amended by providing that Circuit Judges shall be elected by the joint bal? lot of the two Houses of tho General Assembly, and not as was proposed-:'by the qualified electors" of the respectivo circuits. An animated discussion took place on a proposition to permit a man to beoomo a can? didate for judge who simply resided here at the time of the adoption of the constitution. It was argued that there were not enough loyal men in the State qualified to fill the office; that rebels would elect rebels to the important position; and that it was desirable to wipe out the past and start fair with Northern men in th6 race, no matter if thoy havo not I cen in South Carolina moro than an hour. Randolph said, as far as talent was concerned, a man fa? miliar with the judicial decisions of the North? ern courts could read enough of South Caro? lina law in one day to serve his purpose as a judge here. C. P. Leslie, referring to the election of judges by tho people, said that it was no un? common thins in Now York State to see a judge on the stump making moro noise than anybody else, and tho man who talked the loudest was the most Uko to be elected. j It was a noticeable feature of the debate yes? terday that much of tho moderation a-td con? servatism elicited ou tho subject of judges came from the colored men boru in the State, while those who were anxious to trust to the Bufirage of the people were generally the in? dividuals most suspected of having aspirations for ofiice themselves. Tho yeas and nays showed tho very decided vote of 65 yeas to 24 nays. L. S. Langley (colored) gave the follow? ing written reason for his vote : I vote no. I do this because I believe in the people, and because I know that the body of le J al voters have never been neithor drunlrened with whiskey nor sold their birthrights for gold, whereas legislatures have been guilty of both. Tho people may havo been deceived, but they li ave never boen bought. A feature of section 17 was the provision that Courts of Common Pleas shall have ex? clusive jurisdiction in all cases of divorce. An effort was made to strike this out, but Ur. B. F. Whitemore and B. F. Randolph both argued from a scripture standpoint, as well as legal and moral standpoint, that di? vorces ought not to be granted. The section was accordingly passed without amendment. Two sessions were held yesterday and the convention adjourned at six P. M. (?ommcrri?l. -xports for the Week ending Thursday, February 27.

January 31 8m os HO- THE MISERABLES OF TILLS BRIGHT and cheerful world oro tho Dyspeptics. Without a good digestion there can neither bs bodily comfort nor mental en jo \ ment Between the stomach and the brain there is a olose and wonderful alliance. If the one is disordered the other is gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort and indifferent to all that makai life agreeable to thc healthy. Is this a condition that any rational human being is willing to endure, when the means of certain, immediate and permanent relief can be obtained everywhere? The Dyspeptic has bis fate in his own hands. If he chooses to banish forever thc disorder that racks his body and disturbs the mind with nam less hor? rors, he has only to step to tho nearest drug store and procure a supply of HOsTETIER'3 STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of Dyspepsia hos ever yet resisted the alterative, ionic and an ti-bilious operation of this po? tent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into healthy action the dormant liver; puts to flight the dismal fancies that beset the mind; gently relieves and regulates thc Dowels; strengthen* the enfeebled navet; restores ho appetite, and makes, as it were, a NEW CB-ATUBE >f tho desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion bavo only to _ke a small dose of this pure vegetable corrective, mea or twice a day, to seevro entire exemption from tho pains and penalties of a weak stomach and that perfect functional regularity, which but few of the ex uninterruptedly enjoy.
