The great fight of the day was upon the petition offered by F. L. Cardo2j and Beverly Nash (both of whom have recently relurnod from Washington), praying Congress that certain tracts of land in the pos?ession of the United StateB Tax Commissioners may be allotted to destitute citizens. One party waa lead by Beaufort delegates, and it was plainly evident that they regarded the appropriation of these lands to the Port Boyal Railroad as being far more essential to the prac? tical welfare of the State than if they were sold for small sums to freedmen, and the aggregate applied to educational purposes. The oppo? site side, with equal vehemence, contended that it was p.ll-impo;taut to the interests of education that the fund for public schools should be ii creased from every possible source of revenue, and that no better means could be adopted to conter a double benefit upon the impoverished freedmen and ignorant children of the State than by securing these lands from Congress and selling them at low and remu? nerative prices to the poor. During the discussion, F. L. Car doz a stated that having been in Washington he was advis? ed to draw up and present such a petition, and he felt satisfied that it would be favorably en? tertained. Tho question was not decided until the evening session,' when Mr. C. C. Bowen, Chairman of tho Judiciary Committee, to whom the petition had been recommitted for further consideration, made a report, i mending the adoption of the following resolu? tions: 1. Resolved, Tbat this convention do recom? mend to the Congress of the United States that the prayer of F. L. Cardoza and W. B. Nash be granted as set forth in the accompanying peti? tion. 2. Resolved, That this convention do further pray Congress that the proceeds of the sale of lands within the State of South Carolina for taxes due the United States, or so much there? of as may now remain unappropriated, may be Sauted to South Carolina for the support ol' e public schools of the State," under such regulations as the Congress of the United States may prescribe. 3. Resolved, That a copy of thc petition aforesaid, together with a copy o' the forego? ing resolutions, be forwarder1' at onco by tho President of this convention to the 1'resident of the Senate and Speaker of the House ot Rep? resentatives. A further attempt was made by L. S. Lang? ley, of Beaufort, to postpone thu consideration of the resolution until they could bo printed, but the usual amount of .'fillibutering" fol? lowed, and (he report of the committee was adopted. .The consideration of section 5 of tbe Edu? cational. Ar ti clo of the const tntion was resumed, the question being on the motion of B. F. Randolph to strike out .the proviso of R. B. Elliott, adopted yesterday, which reads ss fol? lows: "Provided that no person shall be de? prived of the right of suffrage for the non? payment of his poll-tax." On the yeas and nays being ordered, they were taken, and, by a vote of eighty-one yeas to twenty nays, the motion to strike out was not agreed to. The section as amended was passed to its third reading. The following sections were likewise passed to their third reading with little or no amend? ment: SEO. 6. Within five years after the first regu? lar session of the General Assembly, following the adoption of this constitution, it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide'for the establishment and support of a State Normal School, which shall bo open to all persons who may wish to become teachers. SEO. 7. Institutions for the benefit of all the insane, blind, and deaf and dumb, and such other benevolent institutions as tbe public good may require, shall be established and Bupported by the State, subject to such regula? tions as may be prescribed by law. SEO. 8. Provision sha 1 be made by law, as goon as practicable, for the establishment and maintenance of a State Reform School for ju? venile offenders. SEO. 9. The respective districts or counties of the State shall make provisions, as may bo determined by law, for all those inhabitants who, by reason of age and infirmities, or mis? fortunes, may have claim upou the sympathy and aid of society. SEO. 10. The General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance of the State University, and, as soon as practicable, provide for the establishment of an agricultural college, and shall appropriate the land donated to this State for the support of such a college by the act of Congress, passed July 2,18C8, or the money or scrip, as the case may bc, arisiug from tho salo of said lands, or any lands which mav here? after be granted or appropriated for such pur? poses, for the support and maintenance of such college, and may make the same a branch of the State University, for instruction in agri? culture, thu mechanic arts, aud the natural tciences connected therewith. SEC. 12. The proceeds of all lauds that ix? . been or hereafter may be granted by the Unit? ed 8tates to this State, and not otherwise ap? propriated by this State or the United States, and of all lauds or otu^r property given bv in? dividuals, or appropriated by the State for like purpose, and of all estates ol deceased persona wb.? have died without leaving a will or heir, shall be securely invested and sacredly pre? served as a State school fund, and the annual interest and mcome of said fund, together with such other means as tho General Assembly may provide, shall bc faithfully appropriated for the purpose or establishing and maintain? ing tree public schoolb, anti for no other pur? poses or uses whatever. Section ll is as follows: "All the public schools, colleges and universities of this State supported by the public fends, shall be fre? and open to all tho children and youths of tho State, without regard to race or color." On receiving its second reading, F. L. Car doza moved that it be recommitted to the Com? mit tee on Education, aa they wanted to recon? sider thc subject further. ' B. P. Randolph moved that it bo instructed to report to-m?rrow. J. K. JiUson movud that it bo instructed to report on the 11th ind ant. [The New Hampshire election takes place on the 10th.] B. P. Randolph said it is evident this motion is roado to yet rid of those two little word?, "race or coloi." I understand it all sir. There is no uso in our backing dowu lroni these ques? tions. We aro laying the foundation of a new s'ructure hore, and the timo has come when we shall have to meet theso lliinpa squarely, and wo must meet them now or nover. Tho day is coming when wc must decide whether the two races shalt live together or not, ana I appeal to the gentlemen in this convention to sustain tho motion I liavo inado, so that Uris question can bo brought up to-niorrow and discussed. , , F. J. Moses, Jr.-I move to amend by re? quiring (bat thc committee shall roport a week nonce at hall-past twelve o'clock; and I wish to sav hore that, as far ns 1 or thc chairman ot the committee are concerned, tbore exists no intention ol' striking ont tho words to which thc gentleman irom Oran?eburg has alluded. I do not caro to ?tate my reasum? publicly for desiring that thc consid?ration of the Hection shall bo postponed until to-niorrow week, but I pledge my boner (bat when they hear my rea? sons privately given ?very ono will be thor? oughly sati.<ned of the proprioly of sucb a step. L. S. Langlev.-I hope thc amendment ivill not prevail. The subject has been thorouglily considered in tho committee, and as ono ol' its members I say I hat I will not chango my mind. I dm a little astonished at this motion to post? pone until tho 11th ol' .March, for it seems to toe that tho gentleman has backed down from the sentiments he uttered in the committee. If wo are Republicans lot us have a republi? can government and stand by OUT principles. J. K. JiUson-I have my reasons for making this motion; others know them, and therefore I denv the charge that 1 have backed down. D. H. Chamberlain-1 think it due to tho convention that the rossons should bo slated. Unless it is done, it. will be unwise to postpono the consideration of this section. B. F. Randolph-Don't you uuderstmd the reason ? D. H. Chamberlain-I do. E. F. Randolph-Do you think any political event depends on this ? D. H. Chamberlain-I do not. J. 8. Craig-As there seems to bo important reasons, and we don't waut tho public to know them, 1 inovo that wc gu into secroct sossiou. Thc President-The rules of the convention do not permit such a thing to b? done. A. J. Ransier- I think that as a matter of courtesy, the request, of tho chairman of the committee should be favorably considered. I am not piepared to say for how long a time tho subject should be recommitted, bul 1 am deci? dedly in ia or ol' Bonding the section back. F. "J. Moses called for the previous question, and it l eing susUincd, tho motion to recommit to the committee was agreed to, all amend? ments being voted down. [This disposes of tho matter until the com? mittee see lit to report ii.] A tow minutes later, while section ll was un? der consideration, B. P. Randolph mado tho following remarks, which also bear upon tho subject: Tho gentleman has lake? fright at tho wolds "race or color." I understand it all. The convention will understan 1 it all. Some of you have racoused nie of being too conservative; but you will see who uro the Conservatives in this house. Well, ? hope this section will pass; that lands will bo appronriated to schools, and that the colored children in the Stato will get as mucti as they can: but I tfllyou that for one I am not alraid of tho New Hampshire elec? tions, nur any other elections. The President.-The .' gentleman must come lo order. Thc convention prucoeded to the consider? ation ot the article on tho militia, and alter a short debato and some amendment, its three sections wei? passed to a third reading. On motion of M? N. G. Parker, the offices ol' Adjutant and lnspeetor-lieneral wore made subject to election by thc peuple, tho incum? bents thereof to rank us Brigadicr-Ucncral, their duties and compensation tobe prescribed by law. The article un corporal ions was next taken up, amended, and passed to its third reading, and the convention adjourned ut thc usual hour. Commercial. Importa.
