The Upward Shoot of Gold. ,
The New York papers are con?
siderably exorcised at the extraordi?
nary upward movement tu gold sinoe
tho beginning of the year, in faro of
tie immense gold disbursements of
ike Treasury during the last fort?
night. This advanoe has doubtless
surprised financial men and specula?
tors, as well as the general' public.
The rampant gold gambling of the
last few days is undoubtedly stimu?
lated by the late vote by which the
Seuate-thirty to seventeen-re?
solved that it 'would not be pledged
Against a fresh inflation of the cur?
rency. Many of the "bull" pur?
chases of gold :'on time" have been
made either directly on account of
part?as in Washington or cn thc
strength of confidential advices from
that quarter. Thus gold has been
??ashed up above 40 per cent, pre?
mium; and it is now reported that
?John Sherman (Chairman of the
Senate's Finance Committee) has de?
monstrated in favor of a "moderate
expansion." At the close of the
year, gold stood at 133 to 134-to
which point it had fallen ou the im?
proved political prospecta, os indi?
cated by the failure of impeachment
and other revolutionary schemes.
Bat, simultaneously with the meet?
ing of Congress, last week, it began
to rush upward, and has oontinued to
Jtdvanoo, till Monday \i reached
141. Such an inopportune rise-as
8 per cent, in about as many days
seems almost incredible. During all
this time, too, the Treasury has been
?engaged in disbursing, as rapidly as
^vossible, the $31,000,000 (gold) due
in January fer interest, ole.-a sum
"which, it was generally supposed,
would surely depress the price, or at
least prevent the possibility of its
rising. The cause r f this sudden
riso in gold, (or depression of the
public credit,) is evidently due to a
fear of the actiou of Congress, finan?
cial and political, and to reported
propositions for inflation and finan?
cial distraction, as well as of schemes
for violent political disturbance. Be
.eent movemeuts in Washington havo
^given enough color to these rumors
io make them felt more widely than
?ordinary street rumors. People are
ready to believe ulniost auythiug of a
Congress, which can entertain such
measures as have lately been intro?
duced. lu this connection, we
notice that a liepublican County
Convention, at tho capital of In?
diana, has unanimously resolved that
the principal of all United States
bonds, which clo not expressly spe?
cify that they aro payable in coin,
shall be paid in legal tender. In
other words-that the Government
shall, in a time of peace; fix and idter
tho value of its debt of two aud a
half billions of its own good plea?
sure.

A GREAT COUNTRY.-Another sec?
tion ol' twenty miles has been finished
upon the Union Pacific Bailroad.
This completes the national tho?
roughfare to the 540th mile-post, and
takes the locomotive to within teu
miles of tho summit of the Black
Hills. Meanwhile, a steudy influx of
settlers into tho region opened to
occujxation and trade by means of
this road, is giving assurance of
futuro wealthy nud vigorous States.
Cheyenne, the frontier city, which,
six months ago, was unknown, has
its churches, schools, hotels, thea?
tres aud daily newspapers, and its
shrewd business men aro iu active
corrcspoudence with their neighbors
at Denver, 100 miles to tho South?
ward, respecting the construction of
the branch railroad to that mining
capital. The miners aud capitalists
of Idaho ure discussing the project
o? another branch to the North, and
thc saints at Salt Lake, already within
five days' ride of Omaha, are impa?
tient even of that consumption of
time, and anxiously await ita reduc?
tion to forty-eight hours. In all
Ihcsc iocai outerprises, which add to
the importance and traffic of ' this
great railway line, tho entire country
Ls interested. America beats tho
world.

A company of colored troops are

in a few days.

?<?HARtiK?roN, January 15, 1868.
The Convention was oponed with
Ployer by B. F. Randolph, delegato
from Orangebur'g.
The roll of delegates being called,
109 responded to their names-so ven?
teen more being present %han on thc
preceding day.
After Borne discussion os to mem?
bers not having certificates of iden?
tification, the ball-keeper was ap?
pointed door-keeper until a perma?
nent organisation.
The body then went into an in?
formal ballot for President.
A recess of fifteen minutes was
moved and carried, to allow the d?le
gatos to prepare their ballots. At
the close of the recosa, the ballots
were cast, and on being oounted the
result was as follows: A G. Mackey,
white, delegate from Charleston,
74 votes; B. F. Whittemore, delegate
from Darlington, 87 votes; Thomas
J. Robertson, ?bite, delegate ires:
Richland, and temporary chairman,
1 vote; James M. Rutland, white,
delegate from Fairfield, 1 vote. Not
a single colored man received a vote
for the office of President.
After the tellers had made their re?
port, the temporary chairman an?
nounced that A. G. Mackey, having
received a majority of tho votes cast,
was duly elected permanent chair?
man of tho Convention.
This was an error of which he was
immediately reminded by sevornl
delegates, who stated, simultaneous?
ly, or nearly so, that tho ballot was
simply an informal one.
This being tho fact, and the chair?
man withdrawing the announcement,
a whito delegate moved that the elec?
tion of A. G. Maokey bo declared
unanimous.
At the request of B. F. Whitte?
more, white, the motion was with?
drawn, and Whittemore, in a short
speech, withdrew in favor of Mackey.
On motion of Gilbert Pillsbury,
white, delegate from Charleston, tho
election of Mackey was declared
unanimous.
E. J. Randier, a light colored dele?
gate from Charleston, then moved
that a committee of three bo appoint?
ed to wait on tho newly elected chair?
man, and invite him to take his seat
ns President of the Convention. The
motion being adopted by tho house,
tbe temporary chairman appointed
E. J. Ransier, light colored delegate
from Charleston; B. F. Whittemore,
white Yankee delegate from Darling?
ton, and R. C. DeLnrge, light color?
ed delegate from Charlestou, a com?
mittee of three to wait ou A G.
Mackey, the newly elected permanent
chairman, and introduce him to the
Convention.
In assuming the duties of bis office,
Dr. Mackey addressed the body aa
follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION:
While I return you 1113- than UK for
the honor that 3-011 have conferred on
rue, by selecting me to preside over
your deliberations, I confess that I
assume the Chair with great diffi?
dence as to my capability to discharge
its duties. I can, however, safely
promise a determination to perform
the important task with the strictest
impartiality, and with all thc judg?
ment in my power.
Tho position in which your kind?
ness has placed me will nocessarily
preclude mo from a general partici?
pation in the debates of tho bouse,
and will condemn me to silence on
many questions, on which, if I wore
on the floor, I would wish to be
beard. You will, perhaps, therefore,
pardon mo, if I take the present oc?
casion, once for all, to defino my
position and to express my senti?
ments on some of tho great topics
which are now agitating our country.
The Convention in which wo arc
now sitting is marked by two pecu?
liarities, which have distinguished no
other Convention that hus preceded
it in South Carolina-peculiarities
which domain! for it tho commenda?
tion of every lover of liberty and
respecter of human rights.
Convened, as I contend it has
beun-for else I had not been here?
by competent legal authority, it is
tho first Constitutional Convention
in tliis State, in the selection of
whoso members the ballot-box, the
true palladium of national liberty,
has been made accessible to every
man who was not disqualified hy
legal or political crime. In the call
for the fivo South Carolina Conven?
tions which haye preceded it, and
which were held 1776, in 1777 in
1700, in I860, and in 1805, buta por?
tion of tho peoplo were permitted to
exercise tho electivo franchise, be
oaus? slavery, that vile relic of bar?
barism, bad thrown its blighted in
fluenoe upon the minds of tho peo?
ple, and, for the noble doctrino that
governments were constituted for the
good of the whole was substituted
that anti-ropublican one, that they
ware intended only for ibo benefit of
ono class at the expense of another.
Bot in the call for this body, every
true mon who could labor for the
support or fight for the defence of
tho Commonwealth, has been invited
to a representation. Manhood suf?
frage bus, for the first time, been in?
voked to convene a body which is to
make tho fundamental law for all.
Ibis is, then, truly and emphatically,
a people's Convention-a Convention
by the representatives of ?)l who have
mind? to think-and tc? ' think for
themselves, or muscio to work~and
to work for themselves. ?
Again. Io the five Constitutional
Cou vo?tions held in the State, to
which>I have already allnded, the
fundamental law therein framed was
made a finality. The people were
ignored as a port of the body politic
by tho Convention, which declared
itself os possessed of despotic and
irresponsible authority, and, in every
instance, refused to submit its pro?
ceedings, and the constitution which
it had framed, to the people for their
ratification.. This waa but a natural
and necessary result of.'tho influences
of the political sentiment that then
prevailed. It was but,consistent that
I those who deemed one-half of their
fellow-citizens to be chattels should
forget or overlook the manhood of
the other half.
But we, who in these days, when
the rising beams of political truth
promise, after so much storm, a
brighter sky for the Republic, we
who ?rc C??cig?ug ?rum that cloud of
false opinion into the full sunshine
of that truth, know and claim our?
selves to be only tho representatives
of the people. We arrogantly as?
sume no final notion, no irresponsible
power, recognizing tho rights of all
men, of all races, the poor as well as
the rich, the iguoraut as well an the
I wise-of all men who make the State
their home and identify themselves
with its interests. We dare not pre?
sent to them an organic law for their
government, as something with which
they have nothing to do but to hear
it and obey. Our work hero is not
to be considered us completed until
the people shall have reviewed it and
ratified it. Not we, ourselves, but
they who sout us here, are to say
whether we deservo the reward of a
"well done, good and faithful ser?
vants." For the first time iu the
history of South Carolina, will the
people be recognized as the true
framers of their own organic law. Of
such n Conveution, organized on the
great acknowledged principles of De?
mocratic Republicanism, I am proud
to be a member: far moro proud to
sit here beneath tho folds of that be?
loved flag, which is this day floating
from our roof, than I should have
been to have been in that other body
whioh met iu this city iu 1860, with
no such loyal symbol to protect it,
but which rather sought to tear UH
stripes to tatters and to dash its stars
to the earth.
Yielding to none in sentiments of
devotion for that flag of my fathers,
and in abhorreuco of every senti?
ment of disloyalty and treason to
that Government, to which I owe a
paramount allegiance, I yet Lave no
vindictive feelings towards those of
my fellow-citizens who were led by
tho abstractions of their political
leaders to entertain different and
opposing sentiments-sentiments
which I deemed errors, but which
they believed to bo truths. I grant
to them that liberty of til ought
which I demand for myself. Hence,
T profess myself to bc a moderate
tuan. 1 am opposed to all confisca?
tions of property, because the con?
fiscation of all the lands of rebel
owners in tho State can have no effect
I iu promoting the welfare of that
State, in elevating its political condi?
tion, or advancing its commercial
and agricultural prosperity. I um
am opposed to any general disfran?
chisement of the masses of the peo?
ple, it is too late now to disfran?
chise as a punishment for treason.
Punishment should bo inflicted for
the sake of reform. To inflict it now
would be only to gratify revengo. I
want, no moro disfranchisement,
either as to number of persons, or as
to duration of time, than is absolute?
ly necessary to secure the safety of
the nation, and if that can be secured
by none at all, then would I favor a
general amnesty.
I call God to witness, that in tak?
ing my seat in this august body, I dc
so only becauso I desire to contribute
what little abilities or influence I maj
have to the restoration of peace and
harmony, and for tho establishment
of such n Constitution or form ol
Government for my native State as
will secure to every man in tho Com?
monwealth nu equal share of pol?tica
rights, will protect us in tho future
from the errors which have led to om
present unhappy condition, and will
speedily rehabitate the State, as t
constituent part of tho great national
confederation.
With this expression of my senti
meutj, which will not, however, eon
trol me iu t'ne important administra'
?ion of tho office to which you liavi
assigued me, I am now prepared tc
take my plucc as your presiding
officer, at the t=amo timo invoking
your indulgence for nuy uniuten
tional errors that I may commit, am
your earnest co-operation in preserv?
ing the dignity and decorum of tbi
body.
The spA?oh viw frequently inter
rupteuwith applause, and occasional
ly with cries of "Hear! hear!" an<
tho speaker took his seat among lone
plaudits, having evidently acquitt?e
himself to tho satisfaction of tin
Convention.
W. J. Whipper, delegate fron
Beaufort, but a negro lawyer front
Michigan, and ono of the most iu
telligont members, moved that th?
rules of tho United States House ol
Representatives be adopted as thc
rules of tba Convention. The motion<
was carried.
The thanks of tho Couventiou wero
then unanimously voted to T. J.
Robertson, white, delegate from
Richland, for his services as tempo?
rary chairman.
The President laid before the Con?
vention a communication from F. A,
Sawyer, whiUi, a delegate from
Charleston, resigning bis position,
which was accepted.
Tho rules were suspended, and C.
J. Stallbrand, said to be a Dane, who
once commanded Sherman's light
(fingered?) artillery, wa? elected sec?
retary by acclamation.
N. G. Parker, white, delegate from
Barnwell, but au ex-captain of negro
troops, and since the war a resident
of Charleston, and in no way con?
nected-with tho District of Barnwell,
offered a resolution that the Conven?
tion should elect tho following addi?
tional officers, viz: an assistant secre?
tary, an engrossing clerk, a door?
keeper, and assistant door-keeper,
and ti rthr4T?lninf andi th?t tho o huir
sbould appoint three messengers.
F. J. Moses, jr., of Suinter, said
that be was opposed in toto to that
part of the resolution which looked
to tho election of a chaplain. As far
as he was individually concerned, he
was opposed to tho services of any
chaplain, and opposed to having
these proceedings opened with prayer.
The Truth which bad been hold so
sacred in the past bas been of late so
prostituted in all legislative bodies,
that there was a great probability it
would bo prostituted here, and in?
stead of prayers we should have
simply political harangues in tho
guise of a sacred invocation. Fur?
thermore) be held it to be incumbent
upon tho delegates to have some rp
spect for tho Treasury of the State.
The people were poor, and where
there were so many chaplains on the
floor, ho thought it unwise and inju?
dicious to add to the expenditure to
be entailed upon the State by reason
of these deliberations.
B. F. Randolph, colored, of Orange
burg, said he was strongly in favor
of tiie election of a chaplain, because
it was the custom in Congress, in tho
Legislature, and, as far us he was in?
formed, in other Conventions which
bad been held. No ono on the floor
could possibly more respect tho Trea?
sury of the State than himself, but he
could not respect it so much as to ig?
nore religion and overlook God.
L. S. Langley, colored, of Beau?
fort, agreed with tho delegate from
Sumter, that there were clergymen
enough in tho Convention to open
the proceedings with prayer, without
taxing unnecessarily the Treasury of
tbo State; and be hoped that they
would be patriotic enough to dis?
charge this duty to tho Convention
ami the State, without drawing S8 a
day for their services.
It was finally agreed that the Chair
should appoint a chaplain from
among the members of tho Conven?
tion, to open its proceedings daily
with prayer.
Tho motion to have three messen?
gers appointed for the Convention
hy the Chairman, seemed to strike
sotnu of the members as an unusual
and uncalled-for luxury. J.J. Wright,
delegate from Beaufort, but an ex
member of the United States Colored
Troop, and a pure blooded negro,
expressed Iiis opinion on tho subject
plainly, and said he could not see tho
uso of so many messengers to wait
ou tho Convention, when most of tho
members had been brought up to
wait on themselves.
Paul M. Poinsott was elected as?
sistant secretary; Wm. R. Mitchell,
engrossing clerk; E. Conway, ser
geant-at-arms; Peter Miller, assistant
sergeant-at-arms; Samuel Dickinson,
door-keeper, and John Fitzsimons,
(of Columbia,) assistant door-keeper.
All colored.
15. C. DeLarge, colored, notified
the Convention that bo would, to?
morrow, move for a reconsideration
of the vote by which Conway was
elected sergeant-at-nrms, it having
been proclaimed that tho person
aforesaid was incompetent to dis?
charge tho duties of tho office.
Tho next election in order being
that of messengers; one of tho par
tics nominated was Alexander Bryce,
Jr., a while man, of Pickons, con?
cerning whom and whoso career in
connection with the murder of Miles
M. N. Hunniout, considerable dis?
cussion ensued, in which bo was com?
plimented and defended as a loyal
man, who has suffered on account of
his principles.
On a ballot being taken, either of
? thc respectivo candidates failed to re
! ceivo a majority, and on motion of
hi. C. DeLnrge, tho Convention ad?
journed at 12 o'clock-midnight.
THE COTTON TAX.-A. large number
of tho leading merchants, manufac?
turers and others, of Philadelphia,
have signed a memorial to Congress,
praying that tho existing tax of two
and a half cents per pound on cotton,
of tho crop of 1807, bo repealed.
Tlioy say they believe that, by the
removal of this tax, it will at once
bring the cotton into market, and
thereby relieve not only all classes
j in the Southern States, but also the
merchants of all our great commercial
cities. _
A bill to provide for paying the
national debt in greenbacks bas been
introduced in Congress.
BEWARE THE IDES.-Grant is going
to thc South, say the radicals, asa
new Crotar. Let him remember how
his great original fell-"at tho foot
of Pompey's pillar." There are many
Pompeys in the South. lu fact, tho
whole nigger race is ono great Pom
pey-like statno that the radicals have
erected. Let Grant bike caro that
he is not sluin beneath it by the ides
of March.-New York Herald.
The 102d anniversary of the Ger?
man Friendly Society-one of tho
oldest, as well as largest in Charles?
ton-was celebrated on Wednesday
night. A bountiful collation was
spread, aud healths were drunk in
temperate ale to tho memory of tho
fathers of the sooiety, and the long
roll of its honored dead. The meot
iug was numerously attended.
MISCEGENATION.-The Yorkville
Enquirer has been informed that a
white man, lately belonging to the
Gth Regiment, United States In?
fantry, was regularly married in
Ohectcr, to ? negro woman, on last
Suuday evening. The marriage ser?
vice was performed by a colored
preacher.
James Gordon Bennett, Jr., Esq.,

New York Herald, and tho son of the

A little boy ten years of ago, named
Jacob Bullach, committed suicide at

Washington that the President is
about to despatch Gen. Sherman on

of relief are necessary.
EDUCATION OF THE HORSE.-Prof.
J. P. Harper, who claims to bo tho?
roughly skilled in tho art or mystery
of overcoming the most refractory
horses, .will give an exhibition to?
day, at ll o'clock, in front of the
ruins of the Court House. A spirited
horse will be driven through tho
streets, without bridle or reins; be?
sides other opparently equally impos?
sible feats. After the exhibition, a
lecture will bo delivered, to which a
general invitation to our citizens is
extended. The Sumter (S. C.) W'ala?
man speaks as follows of Prof. H. :
"He explained to bis class, in a
clear and comprehensive manner, the
character of treatment necessary in
handling the various kinds of horses,
in order to meet and remove their
various faults, ot the same timo ex?
posing many popular errors concern?
ing' tue management of tho horse.
Mr. Harper is evidently thoroughly
versed in all that pertains to tho edu?
cation of tho horse. His system
seems to be complete in all its bear?
ings, and is remarkable for its sim?
plicity, and for the ease with which
be obtains the most absoluto control
of the animal. I-Ixperimcnts with
several horses here, of well-known
faults, who were regarded as incur?
able, or whose owners bad abandoned
effort to remove them, exhibited tho
ease and practicability of his system.
He discards entirely the Rarey theory
of throwing the horse and worrying
him, as a means of gaining control,
and acts directly npou tho animal
sense. In a word, bo educates. Wo
would advise all persons who aro in?
terested in the management of stock
not to allow Prof. H. to pass without
availing themselves ot bis services.
They will receive information that
will bo of great value, r.nd that will
enable them to control the most
vicious horse with ease."
