Friday Morning, Jnae 17,1870. TU? Work ot tb? Reform Convention. Tho Reform Convention assembled on the evening of Jone 15, and completed ita work by 6 o'clock p. m. on yesterday. Our readers will observe elsewhere the Declaration of Principles and tho name adopted. It will be found that the Con? vention planted itself upon liberal ground. It will be seen, also, that Judgo Ii. B. Carpent r and Gen. M. C. Butler have been nominated for the offices of Governor and Lie atenant-Go vernor. Bovoral of Gen. Butler's personal friends were disposed not to allow tho use of his name, but at the instance of tho colored delegates, his name was put before, tho Convention and ho was unanimously no? minated. The President of tho Conven? tion was authorized to appoint an Execu? tive Committee of Thirteen. Tho Union Reform Party, with its platform and its standard-bearers, is now in the field. The movement for KEFOHM has now boen put formally in motion. We do, of course, cordially com mond the movement to general support. Tho aotion of the Convention has been, in our judgment, the best that was possible ander all the circumstances of tho case. The remarks of tho delegates, both white and colored, were generally earnest and to the point. Let us now indulgo the hope that our expectations will be realized. For the reform moromeut, tho Convention bas given tho platform and the men. Let thc work now be carried on to its logicnl consummation. Let our people, from the upper to tho lower country, do their duty. Reform Convention. The Convention met at 10 n. m., in Carolina Hall. B. K. Kinloch offered a resolution, regulating the seating of delegations by Counties, tho Secretary calling tho roll by Counties. Bernard O'Neale offered a resolution, that tho vice-Presidents be seated on tho stage. M. C. Butler, Chairman of Committee on Platforms, read the report, request? ing that it lie on the table for tho pre? sent. Tho Chairman of thc Committeo on Platforms report Gen. Wagener's paper, and advise that it be printed with pro? ceedings of this Convention. Tho Committee on Platform beg leave to submit the following report: This Convention, representing citizens of South Carolina, irrespective of party, assembled to organize tho good people of the State in an effort to reform the present incompetent, extravagant, pre? judiced and corrupt administration of the State Government, and to establish instend thereof just and equal laws, order and harmony, economy in public expenditures, a strict accountability ol offieo holders, and the election to office only of men of known honesty and in? tegrity, doth declare and announce thc following principles npou which meu ol all parties may unite for tho purposes uforesui? : 1. The fifteenth amendment of thc Constitution of the United States having been, by tho proper authorities, pro? claimed ratified by tho requisito numbei of States, and having been recoived ant acquiesced in as law in all tho States ol the Union, ought to bo fairly "aclminis tered and faithfully obeyed us funda mental law. 2. Tho vast changes in our system o: Government, wrought by tho iuternn tional war between the two sections o the States, and following in its train, are so fur incorporated into thcconslitu tious and laws of the States and of th< United States, as to require that tbej be regarded accomplished facts, havinj tho force and obligation of law. 3. This solemn and complete reoo^ni tiou of the existing laws brings tb* pooplo of South Carolina into au entir harmony upon all questions of civil auc political right, and should unito ?il honest men in nu earnest and detcrmin ed effort to establish a just, equal nm faithful administration of tho Govern mont, in tho interest of no class o clique, but for tho benefit of a unite people. Tho committoo also recommend th adoption of tho following resolution: Resolved, That this organization b known ns tho Union Reform Burty c South Carolina. Respectfully submit ted, M. C. BUTLER, Ch ni rm ;iii. On motion of Mr. Ellison S. Keitl tho report of the Committee on Pltitfon was taken up for discussion. E. W. Seibels, Chairman of Cominillo un Resolutions, reported no resolution.1 W. T. Gary, Chairman of Commit te on Manner of Voting, reported, fir.->l that voting bo viva voca; second, tb? each County be entitled to tho numbe of votes it is ontitlcd to ju the lowe bouse of the General Assembly; an third, that tho Chairmau of euch delegi tion, upon the call of his County, rit in his sont and announce thc vote. The Secretary read tho proceedings ( yesterday, which were approved. E. S. Keitt moved to take up the n port of tho Committee on Platform, nn proceeded to discuss the rccommondi tious of tho roport. He held that Prov denco controls all human affairs, slaver no less than freedom; and from tl: annlogy between Egyptian anti Amer can emancipations ranged tho latter i tho class of progressive movements that au ould mest the approbation of mankind. J. B. Kershaw,!rose to explain tho in? tent and purpose of the paper reported by the Committoo on Flatform? He deprecated the issue between tho tiro races, and detailed the trickery through which tho colored raoe has been alienat? ed from the white. This movement is designed to lift South Carolina to a posi? tion higher than she has ever held. Tho colored maa mast be convinced that this is a bona fide aad honest advance made to tho colored race. Wo may uot be able to defend every point of recoastructiou as iu every respeot resting upon consti? tutional construction; but, what is better, we mean to carry them out, both in letter aod spirit. Upoa the point of making nominations, ho was fully in favor of it; holding that for this Con? vention to adjourn without nominations, would bo to scatter tho movement to tho wiuds. E. S. Koitt objected to tho report, upon tho ground that it is confined to tho past and present, while it should look as well to the futuro, so ns to secure the cementing powor of hope to the diverse elements of our State. M. C. Butler rose to second the posi tiou tLiken by Gen. Kershaw. Tho occa? sion is full of solemn earnestness. Mis? rule is running riot in our State; and gorging vultures are eating out our pros? perity. This results from the antagonism between the races; aod for this the whites are responsible. They have not mot the issao as they should. Gen. Lintier gave a resume of the events since the war; criticised the course of the Demooratic politiciaas, showing ifs faulty policy and defended this movement as thu true oac. In answer to tho query, why uot entor the Union Leagues, he replies: becauso that course is a device to bind the freo citizeu in political chains worse than tho African slavery from which the negroes bave been freed. If this movement does 1 not succeed, it willbe.becausc it does uot deserve success. What is tho objection to tho Republican administration iu South Carolina? It is not Republican. The Governor, electod by negroes, has neglected tho interests of that ruco. Wheo ho wants dirty work done, at SIG a mouth, ho employs a negro; but when he waots a man to do nothing, at $00 a mouth, he seuds to Ohio for a white man to do it. Tho imported leaders of tho radicals do uot wish us to make nomina? tions. They want us to lio supiue while they fill their pockets. The spirit o? progress is advancing in Europe. Spain, France, Russia, and Prussia, are emanci? pating all serfdom. If the Exoeutivo of South Carolina can prove the charge1 agaiust him to be untrue, wc may with? draw our opposition from him. The murder of Randolph was a political trick and the fate of Tolbert is u murder bj tho authorities of tho State. If tho Go? vernor know that tho Ku-Klux killed Randolph, why did ho not hang them foi tho crime? Where aro the homes that the Land Commissiouer has purchased for the poor men of the State? As tc what the Couventiou should do, Gen. B, maintained that nominations should In made; el60 the movement will fall ti nothing, for wont of a standard-bearer, E. S. Keitt rose for a third word. L in favor of nomiaatious. Jonas Bird (colored) spoke on th< movement. He thought it unfortunate that it was not iuaugurated sooner; bettei late than novor.

The speaker showed how th Inst election was carried by promises o lands and mules and corn and offices [Immeuso applause.] J. P. Thomas roso to express hi hearty appreciation of the scatimonts o tho speaker. Endorses fully tho report o tho Committee on Platform. Tho move mont rises above the level of party worl to the dignity of a grand reform march irrespective of party and of rac?.1 It aims to elect a Governor neither o tho whitu mau nor of tho negro, but o the wholo people. The speaker arraign the Executive of tho Stato for mal-atl ministration, and the General Assembl, for corrupt legislation. Ia order to giv point and edge to this movement, nomi nations must bo made-tho moremen must bo matlo persoual ami tho issue me squarely. Fenwick (colored) rose to express hi pleasure at tho faut that light is begin ning to dawn iu South Carolina. J. B. Korshaw askod leave to arnon? the report, hy strikiug out "verities, and inserting "accomplished facts. Leave granted. Geu. K. proceeded t explain why tho movement is so hito. J. B. Kershaw moved that tho Con ventiou go into nomination of Governo and LieuteuuntGovoruor. J. D. Kennedy moved to amend, by rc ferriug tho question of nomination to committee of twenty-one, which amone ment prevailed. A good deal of discussion followed, i which many delegates took part. Tho Chairman appointed the folio? ingcommitteo of twenty-one: JohuL). Kennedy, Chairman; J. ? Hoyt, Anderson; - Weathorsbet Barnwell; W. E. Mikell, Charleston; G W. Melton, Chester; E. F.
