Ihe convention assembled at the usual hour, and went to work with a will, commencing with the article "Eminent Domain." Its several sections were passed with little or no amend? ment. They provide L That the State shall have concurrent jurisdiction on all rivers bordering on this State; anil they, together with all other navigable waters within the limitB of the State, shall be common highways, without any tax or impost therefor. 2. That the title to all lands and other prop? erty which have heretofore accrued to this State by grant, gift, purchaso, forfeiture, es? cheats, or otherwise, shall vost in the State of South Carolina thc same as though no change had taken place. S. The people of the State, in their right of sovereignty are declared to possess the ulti? mate property in and to ail lands within the jurisdiction of the State; and all lands, the title to which shall fail from defect of heirs, shall revert or escheat to the people. L. S. Langley moved, as an amendment to the last section, that the words "in their right of sovereignty" bo stricken out, on tho ground that the war had exploded the idea that any sovereignty could reside in the people, and the amendment was agreed to. The ordinance to divide the State into four Congressional Districts was made a special order for Friday morning next. The Committee OD Franchise and Elections will report this morning. The convention next took up the article on impeachment, and without other than verbal amendment, passed its several sections to their third reading. They provide that tho Houso of Representa? tives shall have the sole power of impeach? ment, and a vote of two-thirds be required, the party impeached being suspended until judg? ment has been pronounced. That tho Senate shall try all impeachments; that all executive and judicial officers ore liable to impeachment; but judgment shall not extend further than re? moval from office. For any wilful negleot of duty, not sufficient ground for impeachment, the Governor, with the co-operation of two thirds of the legislature, may remove any ex? ecutive or judicial officer. Three clauses of tho Article on Education ' were passed to thoir third reading. The first veste public instruction in a State Superinten? dent of Education to be elected by the people; the second provides for an election biennially in each county of a School Commissioner, said Commissioners to constitute a State Board of Education, of which the State Superintendent is to be chairman; the third provides for sys? tem of public schools and division of tho State into school districts; schools to bo kept open at least six mouths iu the year. Section four provides for the compulsory at? tendance at either public or private schools of all children betweeu the ages of six and sixteen years, not disabled, for a term ?quivalent to twenty-four months. B. ?. Duncan proposed to modify the phrase "compulsory," by saying "it shall bo a duty to entorce, as far as practicacie," Ac. B, C. DeLarge moved to strike out the word " compulsory." H. ?. Hay "ne, of Marion, moved that the sec? tion be recommitted to the committee; and, after debate, the consideration of the whole section was postponed until to-morrow at ll o'clock. The next business in order was the report of the Committee on Finance and Taxation. The first six sections were passed without amendment. They provide that the legisla? ture shall arrange a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation on all property except such as may be exempted by law; that a pod tax may be imposed for school purposes, but for no other object; that the legislature may supply deficiency in the funds raised one year, by additional taxation in the ensuing year; and that the legislature may exempt from tax? ation public schools, colleges, ?co., all charita? ble institutions, public libraries, churches and burying grounds. On motion of B. F. Whittemoro, tho last i j clause was amended by the following addition : | ] "Provided, that this exemption shall not ex tend beyond the buildings and premises ac? tually occupied by such schools, colleges and institutions of learning, asylums, libraries churches and burial grounds, although con nected with charitable objects. ' The reason assigned for the amendment was that a large amount of property was owned in the State by these ch ntabie and religious in? stitutions, in the shape of stores, warehouses, and real estate,.on which no taxes were paid Section 6 provides that the legislature shall provide for the' valuation and assessment of all lands and improvements thereon before the year 1870, and thereafter every filth year. Section 7 allows the State to contract public debts, and, in the original text,'limited the amount to $500,000, beyond that already in? curred. Mr. J. D. Bell, ol Beaufort, moved to strike ont the limitation. Mr. N. G. Parker opposed the motion on tho ground that it would leave the matter in? definite, and if the amount should be largely increased the taxes upon the people would be unendurable. L. S. Langley hoped the motion would pre? vail. The legislature, in all probability, would possess as much sense and judgment as the convention, and he was opposed to tying tts hands. Further debate followed, and the amendment was finally agreed to. Section 8, on motion of Mr. E. W. M. Mackey, was amended so as to read that the corporate authorities of counties, townships, school dis? tricts, cities, towns and villages, may be vest? ed with powor to assess and collect taxos for corporate purposes; and the General Assomblv shad require that ail the property within tho limns of municipal corporations, except that heretofore exempted, shall bo taxed for tho payment of debts contracted under authority of the law. Section 9, which provides that the credit of the SUte shall not be granted to or in aid of any person, association or corporation, aller debato, was stricken out. The convention at one o'clock adjourned. EVENING SESSION. The convention reassembled at 3 P. M. Mr. J. M. Runion of?ered a resolutiou that thia convention stand adjourned sin?die on the 11th of March. The question was debated, and finally de? cided in the negative, it being deemed best to Jn-ogress further with thc business in hand be bre committing the convention to any act dis- I i solving the body finally. The Chair announced that tho hour for the ' 1 consideration of the special order had arrived and it was read as follows: Whereas, We regard it the duty and true policy of tuc General Government to carefully husband, encourage and protect the agricul? tural resources of the several States; Ana whertas, the culture of rice forms one of the principal resources of tho State of South Caro Ji?a; therefore Resolved, That we humbly petition Congress that they will take no action looking toward thc reduction or repeal of tho present import duty on ric?, behoving that auy abatement of the'present tani? -viii render thu culture of tao staple unprovable, thereby depriving the State of ono of its chief resources, and the in? habitants thereof of ono of their principal sources of sustenance; al thc same time deny? ing the count's st largo a reasonable luxury which tho inferior ar! clcs from foreign market s cannot afford. Mr. J. ll. Jenks defended the resolution at some length. Previous to the war, ho said, South Carolina sent to market three times tho amount of ri o produced in Georgia, North .karolina and Florida. Tho" general cr >p of 1810 amounted to 190,000 tierces, of which South Carolina raised 150.000, " Georgia 30,000, and North Carolina 10.000. Reckoning twenty-two bushels to tho tierce, it would amount to 3,300,000 bushels which, at ono dollar per bushel, afforded a revenue of $3,300,000. Three filths or the rice lands of tho State were at present out of cultivation-a loss ot' agricultu? ral rosourccs of no little importance. The proposition to repeal tho import duty has been for weeks under consideration of the appropriate committee bl Congress, and there was reason to fear that, before the action of the convention could be consummated, that committee would made a decisive report. The rice culture as it now stands is protected by au import duty of two and nine-tenths of a cent per pound in ?old. While this to. somo might seem an excessive tariff, the experience of tho past few years demonstrated that it was wise! and just." Against 150.000 tierc3s produced in this State in 1860, there were produced in 1856. 23,000 tierces; in 1867, only from 25.000 to 80,000 tierces, about oue-tixth of tho former average yield. The Increased expense in the production of rice by free labor is proportionately much greater than that of cotton, and being a source of revenue to the State aiid General Govern? ment, it was eminently proper that the planter and laborer should be equally protected. Ran? goon rice can now be laid down at 7$ cents per pound. Repeal this duty, which now amounts to 4:? cents, and you havo tho same article at 3j cents. Could the rice planter possibly com? pete with that price? No cue w^uld attempt to do so. Repeal the duly and it would de? prive tho State of twenty millions of dollars worth of taxable property, and sixteen thou? sand inhabitants of a preferred means of em? ployment. After further remarks by B. Byas, of Berke? ley, tho question was taken, decided in tho af? firmative, and the resolution was ordered tobe engrossed and forwarded to the President of tho Senato and Speaker of the House of Repre? sentatives at Washington. The unfinished business was resumed. Section 10, providing that tho State shall not eubscrioo to, or bo interested in, tho stock of any company, association or corporation, was stricken out'. Sections ll, 12,13,14 and 15 were passed to their third reading. They are not of special interost. The list-named section makes the fiscal year commence on the first day of No? vember. Section 16, arranging for a tax of two mills on every dollar's worth of taxable property-, ?cc, were stricken out. Section 17 ditto, because it provonted a county from subscribing to stock, or lending, credit to any incorporated company. Sections 18 and 19 were then amended and Sassed to a third rcad'iig, and, the hour of six aving arrived, tho convention adjourned. Commercial. Exports.

Notwithstanding th ?ravages ol'the caterpillar, tho firs : cotton picked was from the field on which MAPES' PHOSPHATE was used, and it has made about 63 pouuds to thc nero, while no other man? ured land made ovcr45pouuds.

PASSONS, Sandenmllo, Washington County Ga., fia1 s: "My observation is that MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled tho Cotton aud troolcd the Corn. Eas dons botter than Peruvian Uuano per pound." ? J.
