THE DAILY NEWS. Song of Steam. The following fire poem, by Geo. W. Carter, of Coringwu. Ey., Blackwood has pronounced "the be?t fyne o: the century:'* Harness me down with your iron bands, Be rare ol' your curb and rein. For I scorn the strength of your puny hands, As a tempest scorns a chain; How I laughed as I lay concealed from sight. For many a countless hour. At the childish boasts of human might, And the pride of human power. When I saw an army upon the land. A navy npen the seas, Xreeping along, a snail-like band, Or waiting a wayward breeze. When I saw the peasant reel With tue toil which he faintly bore, AF he rcrred at the tardy wheel. Or to Jed at t he weary c ar. When I measured the panting courser's speed, Ike ?ipht of the carrier dove, A? they bore a law a king decreed. Or the lines of impatient love; I could not think how the world would feel, AS these were outstripped afar . When I should be bound to the rushing keel, . Or chained to the flying rar : Ha! hal ha! They found n:e atlast, Ard they invitee: 2e torth at length, And I rE?hed to ray ihr-jre with 1 thunder blast, Ard laughed in my iron .-rrength! 0 ! then ye saw a wondrous change On the earth and ocean wide. . Where now my fiery annies rance, Nor wait for wind or tide. The ocean pales where'er I sweep, To hear my strength rejoice. And m cns: ere of the briny deep Cower trembling at my voice. 1 earrv the wealth and ore 01 earth, The thought of the godlike rnird, Tho wird lags after my gom^ icrih. The lightning is left behind. . In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine Hy tiresome arm doth play, ' Where the rocks ne'er saw the sun's decline, Or the dawn of the glorious day; I bring .earth's guttering jewels up From tie hidden caves below, .ind I make the fountain's gr?mte cup With a crystal gosh o'crfiow. I blow the bellows, I forge tie steel. In ail '.he shops of trade ; I hammer the ore and ram tho wxee.1 Where my arms of strength are made I manage the furnace, the uni], the mint I carry, I spin, I weave; and all my doings I pat in print On every Saturday eve. I've no muscles to weary, no breasts to decay, No bones to be "laid on the shelf;" And soon I intend you may "go and play," While I manage the world myself. But harness me down with your iron bands, Be sure of your curb and rein. For I ecorn thestretgth of your puny hands, A3 the tempest scorns a chain. TUE CONVENTION. FI?TT-BECOND DAT.

Section 10 of the Education Article being again reported from the committee, was dis? cussed, and finally incorporated in the consti? tution by the following vote-yeas'98, noes 1. J. H. Bunion, of Greenville, desired to have his vote recorded ''no,*' for, while he claimed to bs as good a Republican as any upon the floor, and a9 much in favor of free schools, ho conscientiously believed it adverse to the in? terests of the party at this time to torco the amalgamation oi scholars and tho consolida? tion of schools. The section as adopted reads as follows: All the public schools, college, and universi? ties of this State, supported by the public funds, shall be free and open to all the children and youths of the State, without regard to race or color.

Parker the Presi? dent was instructed io request General Canty to draw from the Treasury a further sum of | $10,000 io cover ah the expenses cf the con? vention.

Air. B. F. Whittemore offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting General Canoy to appoint two persons to represent the Stat"; j stock in the next meeting* of the Board of ] President, Directors and Stockholders to be held at Columbia. Mr. E. w. M. Lackey introduced an ordi? nance providing for the organization of ike General Assembly at ita first session, and the manner of administering the oath 'cf office. Also an ordinance to provide for the ratifica? tion of the constitutional amendment known as article 14, and ior the election of two United States Senators. W. G. Whipper opposed the ordinance on the ground that it tied the hands of ih9 legisla? ture. O. C. Bowen sustained it, for the reason that if not compelled io act, the legislature might ignore ihe'wkole subject, and the succeeding body might prove too Democratic to ?atify the amendment, and it would be lost. Other debate ensued, and the ordinance be? ing referred to the Judiciary Committee, it w:;s reported back as a section of the constitution as follows: The first General Assembly under this con? stitution, at its first session, and immediately after its permanent organization, shall ratify the amendment to the "cons-rttuticn, known os artille 14, and proposed by the thirty-ninth Congress. E. C. DeLarge offered tba following ordi- 1 nance-substantially tho came which a few 11 days ago was rejected : Wlterecis, The financial condition renders it necessary that the General Assembly, at its fir6t session, should adopt tho measures requi? site to apply its available resources to the dis? charge of its valid obligations; and whereas, it is essential to that end that an investigation of the financial! resources' of the State should be made without deicy, in order that the re? sulte thereof may be submitted to the General Assembly at such rh's: session, we, the people of South Carolina, :n convention assembled, do ordain SECTION 1. That three commissioners be ap? pointed, in the manner hereinafter provided, whose duty it shall be to investigate the finan? cial condition of tha State, and the situation and velue of all property, assets, securities, and other resources" applicable to the die charge of its valid obhgations; and to report thereon, with their recommendations, to the General Assembly, upon its being convened, oras soon thereafter as practicable. SEC. 2. Such commissioners shall have au? thority to inspect all public records, accounts and vouchers, to call ior reports under oath, in such form as they shall prescribe, from all public officers having knowledge of facts or possession of matters pertinent to such in? vestigations, to summon witnesses, to ad rjoinister oath?, and to examine all persons who. in their judgments, may have knowledge of anv such matters. SEC. 3. It shall be the duty of any person or officer, under a penalty of five hundred dol? lars, to be recovered in any Court of Record, in the name of said commissioners, upon Qotification or sxmmons, to make such report, and to attend at any time and place at which they may be requested to appear for such ex? amination, and to produce any document or writing, the production ot whioh shall be re? quired by such notification or summons. Witnesses attending for such examination may be allowed the customary rates, to be paid as a part of the contingent expenses of the commission. Any person guiltly of knowingly and wilfully making any false statement under oath or affirmation in respect thereto, shall be guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and hable to the pains and penalties therefor, prescribed bylaw. SEC. 4. The said commissioners shall be elected hythe delegates of each Congressional District by a plurality of votes, and shall re? ceive the same per diim and allowance as members of the General Assembly, and the ex? penses actually incurred in travelling in the penormar.ee of said duties, and shall com? mence their work before the 20th of March, 1308. SEC. 5. The General Assembly shah make provision for the compensation and expenses of said commissioners, and shr.ll have authority to extend the powers of said commission, or to modify the same, and wheo, in the judgment, the objecte of this ordinance are fully at? tained to terminate said commission. The ordinance passed itu third reading, and the convention took a recess of ten minutes to allow the congressional delegates to elect their respective commissioners. On reassembling the roilowing persons were announced : First Congressional District-F. J. Mose3, Jr., of Sumter. Second Congressional District-R. 0. De Large (colored;, Charleston. Third Congressional District-T . J. Robert? son, Columbia, Fourth Congressional District-J. N. Allen, Greenville. D. H. Chamberlain, at large. C. C. Bowen, from the Committee on the Ju? diciary, made the following report t That all contracts, whether under seal or not, the consideration of which was the pur? chase of slaves, aie hereby declared null end vcid and of no effect, and no suit, eather at law or m equity shall be commenced or prosecuted for the enforcement of such contracts; and ail proceedings to enforce satisfaction or payment of jud?ment on decrees, recorded, enrolled or entered upon such contracts in any court o? this 8tate."are hereby prohibited, and all orders heretofors made in any courts ot this State in relation io such contract?, whereby property is held subject to decision as to the validity or such contract*, nie hereby declared null and void and o: no effect. A long and heated discussion followed, Whipper, Craig. Rutland and others contend? ing tnat the ?lause was unconstitutional, and bound the legislature and the courts in a man? ner which ras neither just nor discree*'. Bowen. Chamberlain, DeLarge, Ranster and others sustained -.Le report, arid with the usual appeal to old prejudices, and the fear that the General Assembly might possibly prove too conservative ac.i defeat tho objr'ct in view they wri-9 enabled to carrv their roint bv ? large majority, and amid great great'applau'se.

THIN US VI NEW YUKKi [ruo ii ora OWN COITEX?PONDSNT.] HE PURIM FESTTVITrES-ARREST OF MA?QUE BADEES-FIVE EX-CHABLESTONL1N9 TAKEN TO THE STATION HOUSE-THE ISBAET.TTES INDIG? NANT AND DOWN ON SUFEBTNTENDENT KENNE? DY-SUCCESS OF THE PUBTM BALL-A DIAMOND NECKLACE WOBTB HA VIN O-KX-CHABLE8TONI?N LADIES-THE STAGE AND PULPIT-THE SPRING TRADE. NEW TOBK, March 12.-The festivities att? endant upon tie celebration of the "Purim," ir feast of lots, were indulged in this season m an extensive scale, and were productive of 'lots" of trouble and excitement. It is a ens am among the Israelites during the festival :o Keep what is called "open house" for the idmisaion of masters, and the hosts in these rpen houses are wont to spread themselves to the extent of their means, whilst, at the same time, t?ey spread their tables with every lux nry in the eating and drinking line that green? backs can procure or palate appreciate. Thi3 year an unusually large number of houses were open, and masqueraders went about in legions. The order issued by Superintendent Kennedy, of the police force, for the arrest of all mas? querading parties found walkin? the streets, was misunderstood by a large number of po? licemen who also arrested those in carriages, in one of these carriages was a party of five 3x-Charlestonians viz : Isaac Davega, H. C. Hoses, Isaac Brady, Ryrear 0. Moses, and D. Dttolengui. They were placed literally speak? ing under arrest ior tho policemen got cn the box outside ol' the carriage whilst tho maskers ?vere in a box inside the carriage. On arriviag it the station house, Mr. Davega, who wa3 mee a lawyer, volunteered to be tho spokes nan of tb.9 party and plead tho cauve well, protesting against the illegality ol the pro- : ?eeding, and claiming that 23 the gentlemen frere in a carriage and on their way to a pri? mate house the arrest was unlawful. As Mr. j Davega held forth most eloquently in a pink lomino, which floated gaily cu the breezes of be night, there was something sp ludicrous ibont the affair that oven the sergeant himself vas tickled, and decided in favor of the de? fendants, whereupon the "Purim Band" {with m original 6cng) went on their wpj rejoicing. Dither parties were by no means so fortunate is the "Purim Band/'Jor some of them were leid in durance vite lor several hours, and )thtrs ali night. The Purim ball, at Pike's Opera House, was. i grand sueoe?e; but the lady from Charleston, vho r : s expectedto be the belle of the occasion, vas net there, being absent on account of the leath of a member of her husbands family. The handsomest diamond ornament at this sail was a necklace worn by Mis. Pike, the vife of the owner of tho building. The neck ace was composed of about twenty-five soli c.ves, worth about five kundied dellars each, imeng the Charleston ladies present, notice ib'.e ior their beauty and the elegance of tbeir ureis, were Mies F. Td., Mis3 S. P., and Miss 2. C. The ball was attended thia year hy tho ?iii? of society, Christian as well a? Jewish. The lion and the lamb are lying down to? gether-the church is extending its patronage a the theatre. The Queen Sitters and the ling Brother, who held forth at Conway"3 he.ttre during the week, hold forth on SUE iays in the choir of one of the Methodist Epi3 ?cpal Churches in Brooklyn, where from the irst of May they win receive SJX hundred p:-r :nnum for tko Queens and fivo hundred ior he King. The Queens and the King aro all eally very fine singers, and have improved ronderfuUy since they gave a benedt for the lumter Guard, at the Charleston theatre, dur ng the war. The spring trade opens to a more healthful une than had been anticipated, and Southern is are coming in with money in their purses.
