SUMTKB, S. C., October 14.
With thc coming of Hie fall ti ndo comes lifo,
briskness and activity to our town. Sumter
rouses herself from her summer dozing* and
prepares for business. Tho trude has been
very good so fur, nnd would bo better did not
the plumers keep back their cotton on tic
count of thc low prices. A very lucrative
trade Is curried on by some of our worthy citi?
zens with thc ebony faces, who bring In'small
quantities of seed cotton, their own or some?
body else's, uinkavho nre willing lo sell nt very
reasonable niles. Early risers meet whole
families coming Into town, each bearing their
bag of seed cotton.
Monday week was sales-day, and ns we had
quite n crowd In town and but three fights,
may consider ourselves fortunate. Wo baa
further illustrai ion, a few days ago, of the
beauties of Itadlcal rule. One of our police?
men nttcmped to arrest a noisy negro who
was creating n disturbance on the street. Thc
negro resisted, whereupon thc policeman ap?
plied to Hie intendant, for instructions, who
ordered him to arrest the negro. This he suc?
ceeded in doing, after being obliged to usc his
club. Soon aller thc policeman was arrested
by one of our "truly lo val" magistrates, and
was only kept from Jail by some of our" gentler
men becoming security for him.j A41 .Incident
of tho same kind took place horosoui? months
ago. Thc same muglsLrate had- not only a po?
liceman, but thc intendant arrested for 11 simi?
lar oflbnet-. The matter was then referred
lo tho Governor, who sent some one
to Inquire Into thc merits of thc case,
and ol' course decided in favor or hin broth?

and after telling him bc .?understood he was

TUE TEROER CASE.
How the Arg time nt was Opened.
A Washington letter of Friday says :
Tito argument In the Yerger caso commenc?
ed In the, United States Supremo Court to-day,;
tho question boin? as to Jurisdiction 1 of thu
corni on tho writ of habeas carpus. Messrs. P.
Phillips and J. M.. Carline appeared fdr tho pe?
titioner, and Attorney General Hoar for tho
United States. There was a large number of
lawyers present at the argument, among whom
were lion. Reverdy Johnson, Hon. Caleb
Gushing and others. The counsel for Ycrgor
contended that under thc section of tho judi?
ciary act of 1780 tho Supreme Court bad juris?
diction in tho case, because the 'petitioner,
when brought Into the Circuit Court of i tho
Southern District of Mississippi waa in tho
power and under ! tho control of that court,
and was hy an order of that court trans?
ferred, again to tho Jurisdiction of tho
mllltury authority. Yerger having by lils pe?
tition instituted a suit, iuere was thus a caso
.arising under tho Constitution of thc United
States, and when a Judgment ls rendered de?
nying tho right claimed, thc appellate power
of tho Supreme Court ls properly Invoked.
Tho Attorney General quoted several cases
to show that where tho action of the Circuit
Court was not "thc cause of commitment." as
wheres a United States commissioner held a
prisoner under a special act of Congress, this
court had no Jurisdiction on certiorari or habeas
corpus, even though application bad been
made to tho Circuit Court for the benefit of
such Writs and thc application refused. Be?
sides, even If this court liad over possessed
sncb Jurisdiction, lt was taken away by life act
of February 6, 1807. At I be cloeb of the argu?

Titi: cO.ilMliltClAL CONVENTION.
A H? inn t In Favor of CUIncnc Emigra,
i ion -A Mcfl-tagc from President Grant
-Tito El Paso Ilouto .Adopted for tho
Southern Paolflo Railroad-X Report,
from tito Committee on Taxation-Tho
Next Convention.
A correspondent wilting (rom Louisville, on
thc nrternoou of thc first tiny (Tuesday) of
this convention, shows that there hud beena,
good deal of squabbling in regard to its rela?
tions to tho late Memphis convention, aud tho
committees of the latter were not accepted as
those for the present convention. The same
correspondent adds:
Despite these squabbles, thc convention
presents the appearance of a most Intelligent:
body. Among Its active members are such
men us ex-Senators George W. Jones, of Iowa,
anti Underwood, of Kentucky; .Senator Conk
llntr, of New York, ex-Senator Jesse D. ?right,
of Indiana; Yancey, of Georgia; Itemlln, of*
Ohio, Governor .Anderson, of Kentucky, and
a large number of leading mcmbors from vari?
ous Slates. Delegations foot up one thousand
members. Twenty-six Slates aro represented.
Among those not-represented are Aluino, Ore?
gon, Nebraska, California, Connecticut, Michi?
gan and South Carolina. Active canvassing
so far falls to bring to light any particular pro?
jects to bc discussed beyond the Norfolk and
'Louisville and Louisville and RI Paso Kuli
rdad>. " Uptlt will bcajopposcd by New York
amt Northern ami haslem delegations, mid
are not strongly favored by Georgia und other
Southeastern delegations, who of course ItfVor
steam communication with their own ports.
John C. Dreckinrldgc and General Forrest
were both on tho floor of thu convention to?
day as delegates, and attracted attention,
though not taking-an active part. Louisville
appears to bc full of people, and Kentucky
hospitality overflows. The St. Louis delega?
tion were entertained to-day by thc Kentucky
Club, and the samo club have placed a special
parlor at thc disposal of tho members of thc
Cress of other cities-a great favor, as every
otel has six beds or more In every room,
now, Hourn CAROLINA WAS REPR?SENTE?--A
QUEER PROCEEDING. ?
Tim managers of thc convention, in their de?
sire to muke the body a ''National" Conven?
tion, inaugurated a very queer system of rep?
resentation for some of tho States. For in?
stance:
South Carolina, from some reason unknown,
refused or neglected to nppolut delegates to
represent that state. In the convention. In or?
der to remedy this state of affairs lt has been
determined thar: South Carolina shall not bc
excluded, and at thc time 1 write the '-Palmet?
to Stute" has a full delegation and ls represent- .
edon every com mil toe. This, desirable' end
has been brought out by means of colonizing
from other Stales. In this respect Georgia has
been very liberal to her sister State, and the
Carolinians will lind themselves represented by
some of our best men. .Sonic other States
have but one delegate and he does duty for tho
whole State, lt must not bu thought, however,
from this thnt thu Convention ls a humbug or
a failure, or that many states are represented
In lt by these delegates of straw. On the con?
trary. lt ls conceded by every onu to ba a
grand and completo success. Out few States
ure unrepresented, and, with some exceptions,
their delegates are all nicn of great business
ability anti experience, who have earnestly at
heart, thc advancement of the material Inte?
rest and tho development of tho Industrial re?
sources of every sect lon of the country. Dele?
gates from all parts ol' thc country-Northern
und Western Republicans and Southern Demo?
crats mingle Irecly and harmoniously to?
gether, und, though they may differ In politics,
unite In oflbrts to adopt measures for thu bene?
fit aud Improvement of I heir common country.
A BATCH OF RESOLUTIONS
Wero introduced, which were read, and re?
ferred without comment to appropriate com?
mittees to be reported upon. The resolutions
were introduced by delegates from every sec?
tion of the Union, and on nearly every con?
ceivable subject. ,.
Ono r?solut hm Indorsed the scheme recently
iuagurntcd by running a line of ocean steam?
ers directly between the port of New York and
the harbors of thc Orient. This, of course,
emanated from tho New York delegation.
Another resolution denounced tho bond
buying, gold-selling policy of Grant's Rec
rolary of the Treasury, as ono calculated
to ruin thc finances of thu country. This
came also from New York. Per contra,
in a few minutes afterward a delegate from
the West took up thc cudgel In defence Of the
administration, and offered a resolution en?
dorsing TmutwoU'B operations as muchas tho
Brat hud condemned them. Colonel E. W.
Cole, formerly of Augusta, but how of Nash?
ville, introduced a resolution that tho new
trunk of tho Southern Pacific Railroad bo lo?
cated from San Diego, in California, to some
point In Texas not situated lower than tito
thirty-second -parallel of latitude. This was
done In accordance with tho plan, tho forma?
tion of which I advised you In my letter of
the 12th instant. This pian, it will be re?
membered, was to prevent any bad feeling
in ttie diff?rant Stato delegations on the sub?
ject, by not running tho line directly l?>
any port on the Southern seaboard, but letting
its eastern terminus be In Texas, from whence
lines might radiate to all the rival harbors. It
is still thought, however, that a hard tight will
be made on this Southern Pacific Railroad
question by Virginia and her Southern allies
and the olbor States on the South Atlantic
coast .The Virginia, and Kentucky delega?
tions aro working vigorously and persistently,
and seom determined to ?eave no means un?
employed which, will tend toward securing tho
victory for Norfolk and #orfolk alone. In op?
position to Colonel Cole's scheme, a resolution
was Introduced declaring that the main tnink
should bo laid from the Pacido to tho Missis?
sippi River and have Ita eastern terminus at
Cairo, on that stream.
Anothor resolution favored tho establish?
ment of direct trade between tho Southwest
and Eurone by means of lines of steamships
running (rom tho ports of Norfolk, Charleston,
Savannah and Mobile to Liverpool. Others
provide that Congress bo petitioned to reduce
the present onerous and unjust internal
revenue tax on manufactured tobacco; to re?
duce tho Import duty on machinery Intended
for the spinning of raw cotton; and to entirel y
abolish tho duty on - railroad Iron and material
used in shipbuilding.
TUE PlOTAU.S.
Tho resolution was adopted to lay over all
resolutions for a committee, and under ix Hon.
EU G. Shorter, of Alabama, Introduced tho fol?
lowing: ? . r
Resolved, That in the . opinion of this con?
vention tho importation of Chinamen Into tho
United suites In unlimited numbers ls con?
trary to enlightened public policy, and will
tend to imperil tho prosperity of cotton grow?
ing States, the great labor Interesta, and Ts un?
just to Industrial classes, and hence will intro?
duce, a new element of discord; that it merits
the corfSera nation of AU who nave any regard
for tho common welfare of our common coun?
try.
Tho resolution went over under tho rules.
Subsequently, tho Committee on Immigration
reported in favor of tho Introduction of Chinese
emigrants, without restriction as to numbers.
THE PBBBTDENT AND THE CONVENTION.
The following shockingly awkward message
was resolved from President Grant :
WAHHINOTON, October 12.
Blanton Duncan, Chairman-Your dispatch
Inviting my presence at the Commercial Con?
vention In Louisville, as an honorary member,
Is received. I regret my inability to bo proscnt.
Tho objects of tho convention, however, I
heartily Indorse, and everything calculated to
Increase tho commerce of the country, and
especially everything tending lo bring the
citizens of different sections of our own coun?
try together In Interest and friendship, as lt
tends to tho allay tn ont of sectional prejudices
and bad fooling. I hope your convention may
ixi productive of such good. U. 8. GRANT.
To which tho convention replied by adopt?
ing thc following resolutions:
-Resolved, That this convention heartily re?
ciprocates tho sentiment of cordiality express?
ed by the President or tho United States foa.
tho success of tho object contemplated by this
convention, aa conveyed in his letter to this
body, and we trust lUdeliberatlons will result
In promoting brotherhood und harmony W
tween ull lliu citizens of tho United States.
Resolved, That a committee of nine be up
PDinted by tho chair to communicate to thc
resident of the United Slates, if t -onully, the
views of tho convention as embodied . bi tbo
above resolution.
THE GENERAI. RESULTS
Of the convention may bc summed up In thc
following paragraphs, taken from the report
of tho last day's proceedings : Jj; . . '
Thu Southern Pnclfle Railroad question was
decided. Tho committee presented? two ro
PQrts. Thu report favoring Hie El IV? route
was adopted, and tho result was hulled with
prolonged cheers. j]
Tho Finance Committee's report vis taken
~up and l tulon ni I ely postponed.. Teas report
recommended un Increase lu the number of
national banks, but the convention showed
thu while leather und did not net on tim sub?
ject.
. J. Vf. Hilliard, of Georgia, chairman ot thc
Committee on Taxation, ottered a report,
which was agreed to. < It states that while n
plan of heavy taxation may suit a splendid
government, nuder our Republic lr should'bo
as simple mid light as possible. It proposes a
inodlilcuttoii of thc Internal revenue system,
so as to tux but few articles, and thos? luxu?
ries, so os-to simplify and chenpeu lt. It shows
that the government can be carried on and
the public debt paid with $300,000,000, and that
the ?linn recommended in the report will rnlsu
?127,000,000, thus leaving a surplus nunually of
$27,000,000. As to Kt at ?i- taxation, lt ls Olren

Meeting nt lancaster.
A meetlifi of thc citizens of Lancaster was
held ut the Courthouse Friday w eek to consider
thc proposition of a delegation from George?
town, to build a railroad from Georgetown to
Charlotte via Lancaster.
Captain Greene, tho cngincor of the pro?
posed road, addressed the meeting. Ile said
thal tho road was already graded from George?
town to Cade's on thc -Northeastern Hoad.,
clear of debt and under the control of the obi
original stockholders. He said that this route
wilt afford Lancaster n seaport thirty-nine
miles nearer than any otner and at thc same
lime throw ll eleven miles nenrcr Charleston
He computes the dlstanCo from Georgetown
to Charlotte one hundred and flfty-two miles;
and from Charleston toChurlotte (by thc South
Carolina Central Railroad) at one hundred
and ninety-one miles. Thut ll ls contemplated
to run t+ir road on an nlr-lluo as near us pos?
sible, lrcncu affording cheap freight, break?
ing down monopolies ami defying com?
petition. That the productions of thc
country through which il would run,
thc most, inexhaustible turpentine or?
chards and the vast mineral resources, would
bu an Item that would warrant lt tho most se?
cure und best paying road In thu State. That
tho estimated cost of grading tho., road and
building tho bridges over the route, In view of
thc small number of streams lo pass over,
would not exceed $2000 per infle unjo Lancas?
ter-between that and. ChurluttelBc grading
would bo heavier and would costniore; but,
lu the whole, lt would require 'but $000,000 to
grade tho entire- linc from Catie's to Charlotte.
Tie came authorized, to pledge Georgetown
County to thc amount of $200,000 by tnxatlio ,
besides it large amount by private subset . -
Hon. That .the road had a charter to Blshoiv
ville, to which point lt would certainly bo built,
and all that was now necessary-to bring lt to
this place was tho warm co-onoratlon of the
people of Lancaster County, which his people
carnostly sought.. The speaktsr dwelt airlcngth
upon tire advantages of GoWpeiown us irsvu

Colonel II, li,.v7Uson followed. Amongst

equal advanlnges with other Southern--seaport
towns In point bi capacity; that eleven arid a
half feet ol' water was tho usual depth on thu
btu*, und that they now had direct communica?
tion with tho North and Europe, and some
other foreign parts. He was.happy to stale
that one Arm in .New York City hail pledged,

" A number of other gentlemen, Including Hr. '

rangements, and there have been but few hore
who could command money enough to buy to
hold. Our weakness has reacted on New York
and sont that market down, whUe Liverpool
has caught tho same. Infection. Wall street
gambling was thc primary cause, but tho prox?
imate causo arose In Chicago. There was a.
good deal ol short trading to-day, many being
anxious to sell and others equally willing to
buy, bat with ? decided proforonco for tho
buyer's option, which made buyer the month
wor.h a great deal more than Belier do.
With reference to thc condition of the banks,
tinder this unfavorable condition of things, tho
Writer says :
Tho strain on the banks of thia city produced
by the largo amount of grain which has accu?
mulated hero has been heavy. The panic In
New York deprived tho grain and flour dealers
of New York City and State of the facilities for
doing business, beenuao thoy could not got ac?
commodations to pay sight bills drawn on
them, to pay for grain shipped from here.
There has boon any quantity of orders here to
buy grain, to bo paid for by ? bills drawn at
thirty days, and lt ls useless for tho banks of
this elly, without an increase of capitol, to at?
tempt to furnish funds for tho whole of tho
transactions In grain. from tho hands of tho
producer to the consumer In the Eastern and
foreign markets.. . .
At Cincinnati tho Enquirer says Of wheat:
Advices from other pointa havo been of an
unfavorable character, tyid tho orders havo
generally been withdrawn. The city millers
aro, In mosteases, limiting their purchases to
Immediate wauls, as thoy have not mach confi?
dence In prices, and tho present Btes for flour
afford thom no profit. Tho receipts of wheat
have not been large, and the supply has ex?
ceeded the demand, and there being moro dis-*
position to Bell, concessions wore In some cases
.granted.
Th? prices of corn are lower. Tho distillers
havo boon buying pretty Ircely at interlof
points, and aro net"in tho market to any ex?
tent at present, and tho demand from tho tocal
dealers ls not equal to tho receipts.
Tlio Ney York Express says :
The late financial crisis li' v, all street, which
bas . demoralized speculation, ls now grad?
ually extending to tho channels of legitimate
business. Tho Now York merchants complain
of a steady falling off In trado, when tho foll
business ought to bo very active. [In Balti?
more lt ls very fair.] Advices from different
sections of tho country speak of business be?
ing unsatisfactory, while lu some cases great
depression exists. Tho latter ls particularly
applicable to thu grain irado nt Chicago mid
oilier lake ports. Under thu heavy declino In
grain at tho Wost producers arc not Hendln;;
their grain to market freely at presont, and
this la clearly seen lu thu decreasing earnings
of the Western nii.lruuds, while the fanner
cont Innes In del it to the Woltern merchant,
mid (he Western merchant in turn ls unable to
llquldato his indebtedness lo the K?stern mer?
chant. Thus lt will be seen thnt tho depres?
sion In thc grain trade affects Injuriously tho
grout railway and mcrcuiUilc Interests ol* the
country, the ramifications of which aro exten?

Wo keep all our money at home to build up

mium being safely invested In thc State from
which it ls derived. Tho Institution ts purely
Southern, and hence should appeal with great
force to the patriotism and sympathy or every
Southern heart.
TIS not our purpose to make war on other
companies, but to exhibit thc special advantages
offered by this purely Southern Company-round?
ed on patriotism and solid wealth, its ratio of
assets to liabilities-tho true test or a company's
strength-ls second to none on this continent,
being nearly $300 to $100.
Whenever and wherever wc have presented the
claims or this Company, lt has not only enlisted
