THE DAILY NEWS. A Pen Picture. A rieh widow, in her habiliments ci woe, is thus pen-pic lured by a newspaper poet : Her shawl was as fable as night; And ht r gloves were as black a* hor shawl ; And her jewels-that flashed in tho night Were bia ok as a funeral pall. Her robe had the hue of tho rest. (How nicely it fitted her shape. ) And the grief that was heaving her breast Boiled over in billows of crape. I couldn't help thinking the beauty. In mourning thc loved and the lost, Was doing her c.njugol duty Entirely regardless of COBL T H K CONVENTION. FORM-FOURTH DAT. The convention neara ita decease. The Pres? ident yesterday announced that all the ordi? nances reportad from committees had been passed to their third reading. There is-, never? theless, cnorgh of business maturing to occu? py the body for six or eight days longer, and there will be no dearth of interest to the pro? ceedings yet to follow. Much of tbs interest will necessarily result from party movements. The white3 are playing a shrewd game upon the political chess-board, and the colored mom fully aware of tho attempts being made to crowd them out of the valuable and responsi? ble offiees in the gift of tbe party, are likewise deeply interested in tho result of the nomina? tions about to be made. The impression has been industriously circulated that tho greater the number of negroes in power, the fewer will be the chances of Repubucan succeed. In other words, that the spirit of the North is op? posed to negro supremacy, and until age and experience ehall teach that spirit bettor, it will not be safe to sleet colored mon. Hence, whilo the grab-bag ib held by hands all round, as a printer would say, the "fat takoa" aro appro? priated only by white men. They keep the corn for themselves, and buy votes with the cob. After thc usual preliminary proceedings tho following resolutions were offered : By C. M. Wilder-That the Coininittee on the Legislature consider the propriety of in? troducing an ordinance requiring all the rail? roads in this State to charge the same rates for passage and freight over the entire length . of tneirroads.in the States. Agreed to. By Mr. N. G. Parker-That all chartered cities and towns shall hold their municipal elections within thirty day? from the ratifica? tion of this constitution, and that' all munici? pal offices- shall be declared vacant within thirty days alter the adoption of this constitu? tion. Referred to a special committee of nine. That a clause in the constitution is necessary definiog the qualifications of jurors. Refer? red to the Judiciary Committee. That the General Assembly at its first sos sion shall provide suitable laws for the regis? tration of all qualified electors and for prevent? ing frauds at elections. Referred to Com ni i ttce on franchise and Elections. L. S. Langley presented the petition ot citi? zens of Beaufort, praying the convention to request General Canby to remove oppressive officers now in power at Beaufort. Petitions were presented praying for the removal of the political disability of Jacob Kepler, Andy Basken, of Columbia, and John W. Twit ty. Referred to Committee on Petitions. Mr. T. J. Robertson offered an ordinance, which was read thc first time and ordered to be printed. It provides that a commission of three persons ehall be appointed by tho Presi? dent of tho convention, whose duty it shall be to investigate the financial condition o? tho State, the situation and value of property, assets, securities and other resources, appli? cable to tho discharge ot its valid obligations, and to report thereon with their recoiuiwrida> tion lo the General Assembly upon its being convened. The said commission tb have power to inspeefc-records and vouchers, and examine persons. The pay of tho commissioners to bc the same per diem allowed to members of thc convention. The report of tho Committee on Corporations was passed to its third reading. The report of the Committee on Miscclla neons Affairs was also passed to its first read? ing. air. B. P. Whittemoro introduced tho follow? ing aa one of tho sections of tho legislative part of the constitution: "There shall be elected by tho qualified elec? tors of the State a Comptroller-General, Treas? urer, and Secretary of State, wh o shall hold their respective offices for tho term of four 2ears, and whose duties aud compensation shall e prescribed by law." Mr. B. O. Duncan moved to strike out "four" and insert "two years," which gave riso to an extended debate. ' Mr. C. P. Leslie said he did not behove in forcing officers for so long a tune upon a peo }>le who were not permitted to vote. Tho ob ect of this section was clearly to fix the party ui power without allowing those who paid their monoy to enjoy the show, and it was evident that the party was afraid it would not bo t.blc to maintain that power unless they adopted some such provision which, whether or no, foisted officers upon tho people for four years. Messrs. Whittemore, Duncan and others fur? ther discussed tho question, and tho question being taken it was- decidod in the negative. So the section was passed to its third reading. The convention adjourned at 6 P. M. SOUTHERN GRADUATES OF THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE IN BALTI? MORE.- NorOi Carolina--W. S. Anderson, R. Y. Cowan, E. A. Hall, A. G. Jones, W. W.

FINANCIAL ASPECT OF IMPEACHMENT.-Tho action of Congress in raising the spectre of im? peachment threatens us with a protracted neglect of all the great vital interests ot the nation, already suffering under their postpone? ment to political issues und to partisan debates. All men are weary of this. Tho commerce, tho industry of the entire people languish. Our financial prospects are gloomv, and need im? mediate attention. Our fiscal system is un? satisfactory, and needs immediate attention. Oar foreign policy is undetermined, and needs immediate attention. But all this legitima business of the representatives of **? -*k0 sacrificed already for month0 - people, less worthy objeots of - -> upon months to is now to be .*"* - congressional attention, and the *- ' . ^ tually thrown up altogether, sr?*- ' nails of Congress converted into a 0.ttUd arena of political sensations. Such a state of things, such a prospect carry on their face the condemnation, both' loud and deep, ol tho acts which are thus afflicting tho American people.-New York Financial Chronicle.

A Pore, Unmixed, Natural Guano, aa Fine as Flout (although, not Ground), just 1? tho Condition ia which it la Imported from the Inland. rpUIS GUANO IS FROM A RECENTLY DI8 _L OOVJCBSO deposit on Rodundu Island, in the ICarribcauSeu,.'iYe8t Indies, latitude 16 degrees 66 minutes nortja, longitude. 62 degrees 28 minutes weat, ... It bas been used for many years in the West India I ilands-in tho cultivation of Sugar Cane and cereals I .vith great success; w?a introduced for the first time t) the farmers and planters of the United States tn tie spring of 1866, and lias met wi.h unprecedented s access, an the subjoined reports and testimonials ral 1 j corroborate. The RODUNDA GUANO is not a mineral phos? phate, re qui r a ? tho action of tho Sulphuric Acid to render it soluble; ita great power as a fertilizer is In |,i ta entire solubility, without the aid of acid. It is not a "manipulation" or Oompoand of ?Tah or Flesh .nth Mineral Phosphates, the regularity of Thich is always uncertain and dependent Upon, anti controll? ed by the honesty of the manufacturer. The RO IJUNDA ia a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that term heing understood tornean the excrement of flab-cot ing birds), as the large per centage of organic mat? ter sufficiently attests, and as found upon the Island of Rodunda, in the very state cs imported and sold a consumers. 1 he regularity and uniformity of tho fineness and :onditlon ol tho various cargoes already imported by UP into the Unite i sutes, tested by tho analysis of tho most emin nu Chemists of this country and Eu? rope, is ffufflcti'Mt proof of its origin and a guarantee or our abili y .o f urnish thia Guano of the quality and purity, i ..presented. The P.-i??i>of tho nODUNDA GUANO is not the least tic ho portant ta these days or agricultural com? petition, and pecuniary, embarrassment. Tho very low price at which it can be told places it within the reach of every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops in the purchase of high priced fertilizers. . In the preparation of lands for Wheat and other cereals this Guano posteases properties that reeder it more desirable tor these crops than any yet offered to tho public.

I Notwithstanding thc ravages of tho caterpillar, the first cotton picked was from the bold on which.
