It obvions that tho needs of good go von ment require that some effective orga ism bo. devised .' for the protection minorities. Your committee' ' deem ^unnecessary to ontor upon an analysis tho saveral sch ames of .proportional re resontation that have been snggeste Enough to say that, in our judgment, t plan of ?amulative voting best accoi plashes the end in'view--best--mali representation -co-extensivei with t whole .body .of eleotors. This plan c tain?, wherever there is more than o officer to be elected. It gives tho eleci ns many votes as thero are persons to ohofion, and allows him to bestow 1 votes upon the whole number,.or cumulate ? them upon any number 1 than the whole. Tho effect of this s, 'tom'is to give to each political interest a community a representation prop tiooate to its numerical strength. Um ita Operation, tho true office of suffraj which is to codec', thu sense of the wh community, will bo subserved. Th is effe?tbd neither exclusive represen tion of the majority, nor exclusive r rosen tatton of the minority; bat prop tional representation. Tho proposit is that the cumulative system seca thorough and general representation all the. interests in tho political bo To illustrate tho system: Under tho r sent electoral system of tho State, i community of 200 voters, 101 el representatives-Bay four-for the en body. That is, out of 200 voters, impose their representatives upon 99. - The 99 have no representative are virtually disfranchised. Now, un tho operation of ? tho cumulative sys of voting, assuming that, in tho si community, tho 200 are equally divi politically, the representation would equally divided/ It may be mathe tically stated th as: 1,000 voters : voters:: 2:1, Under the operation such a system, each party would of eessity calculate-its strength, in ad va and seek to eleot only the number Sortionato to its numerical stree 'or instance,-in a certain commui let ?us assn mo that there are 5,000 Dc crate nod. 9,000 Itupnblican voters, that, there are three persons tobe elec The 5,000 Democrats have 15,000 vi The 9.000 Republicans have 27,000 vi If the Democrats were to attemp clent all three representatives, could give each only 5,000 votes, w would result io their securing no r< sentative, as the Republicans, being to gi?e each of their candidates 1 votes, would elect them all. On other hand, if the Republicans wei attempt to elect all their repr?sent?t they could give earth only 9,000 v which would result in the defeat of as the Democrats could cumulate 15,000 upon one candidate, and eleot him. The effeot would be that party would, of necessity, cumulai strength, and there would result a portional representation. In the stated, the 5,000 Democrats would s one representative, and the 9,000 publicans two representatives. Tl thu principle of proportional repro? tion,'by means of tho cumulative sy HYour oommitteo, desiring to cc I tnemBoiveB to general propositions, pro- | pose to refrain from entering further into details. Your committeo aro gratified to state that this system of cumnlntive voting, whioh is destined to play so important a part in. tho development of popular rale, hos already been pat in operation. "Proposed, explained and'advocated in the first instance by James Garth Mar? shal)/ a subject of tho orown of Great Britain," this plan hai been championed by ex-Sonator Buokalew, of this country, has boen incorporated in the revised Constitution of Tlliaoir*; and has' been put upon its trial io a Pennsylvania, town. Recently the subject has attracted unusual interest, in the South. In our own State, it. has'been received with' great favor, and lifted abovo tho plano Of political par ty ism. . Your committee ? uro of the opinion that, abstractly considered, proportional representation is a great governmental principlo^-a wise, just measure of re? form, and one absolutely necessary to make unlimited suffrage consistent with peace, order and security. It enters the political body as ? saving, a conserving ?l?ment. It comes to leaven the lump of Demooraoy, nod to give tho estonce of genuine: Republicanism,. whioh is, briefly stated, thorough and general rep? resentation. But if proportional repre? sentation he an admirable system in any government founded upon tho populut will, your committee hold that tho plan is peculiarly applicable to such a con? dition bf society as this State now pre? sents. Your committee do not affirm thal this would care all the diseases of thc body politic; bat they may, without ex travagance, suggest that tho system o: proportional representation, if adoptee by those who wield the numericabpowef would alleviate many of tho evils inoi dent to oar present abnormul condition would, to a large extent, tranqoilizi public apprehensions, would mod?rait the spirit of political convulsion, ant tend to bring about io this S tuto nil tin penna that wa nun yAoaonsbly .'?.ops tp ?t itin. .,....-.. Your committee ar? aware of the fso that this'measure bf electoral reform, i it shall bs promptly realized by us, mus come from tho...dominaitt party of th State. Whether it will come or not, w cannot decide. In. oithor event, the mi nority in South Carolina put forth thei claims in this behalf, i It is their right Should it' be denied, the responsibilit must rest^ upon those who use thus tb Sower that the present gives. Should i o tendered, it will doubtless prod ur the fruits of justice and widen the circl of peace. This. much we may adi Since it is the nature of majorities t chango, it may be well for the dominai party to consider whether the adoptio of proportional representation may n< for them, be the best polioy for the fi tare, as well BB tho highest wisdom f( the present. Respectfully submitted, J. P. THOMAS, for Committeo. The report of the Executive Cammi tee on tho subjoofc of taxation withoi representation was submitted, aud is ; fo lows: The Executive Committee, to who wore referred the grievances of tiixatu without representation in the taxii body, and to suggest a lemedyfortl existing evils, beg'loavo to report th the presont political and financial cone lion of South Carolina is a forcible iii melancholy illustration of tho evils i salting from taxation without represe talion. The judicial investigations la ly had in the United States Court f this District prove, beyond controvun that astounding frauds wore practiced tho last election, and demonstrated t necessity of a remedy. The theory of the Constitution is tl the people shall be folly and fairly rt resented, and provision is made in tl Instrument to protect minorities. Th in the House of Representatives, 1 whole body of the people is represenl and the majority rules. In tho Sena the States aro represented, and I smallest has an equal vote with I largest Stato, The one is intended to a check on tbe other. While the i lasted, passion took the place of rea; the States represented in the Senate aside tho' Constitution, forgot tl sovereignty and blindly followed lend of conquest. Since the war, States that struggled for what they s posed was a constitutional right h ?ot been represented, their Senators not natives, or, if uuJtives, aro not re] seotativo men. So that the check of States, as represented in the Senate, been entirely lost; and, of coarse legislation bas been partisau, sectic and vindictive. The same feature whioh character! tho Congressional legislation was in porated iu our State government. Parish system, whioh existed in our S Oonstitution before the war, operate a check upon all legislation of tho n majority. Tho.now Constitutions of and '68 abolished that conservative ment. Under the Constitution of '0 is possible no evil would have resul because intelligence and property < equally represented and all the voten longed to the same caste. Undei Oonstitution of '68, however, a new ment was brought into the voting po Men of a different race and caste, un ca ted slaves just emuuoipated, an preBsiblo people, whose passions prejudices could bo easily excited, suddenly olotbed with ibo eleotivo fran* chino and made not ouly A power, but the controlling power in the State. Considering our condition, then, the result: was inevitable. The newjly en? franchised vrere not only jealous of their acquired liberty, but suspioious o? tho feelings and intentions of their late owners. They were Ignorant of politi? cal affairs, totally uninstructed in the Science of government and naturally turned to the men who had flocked here ns birds of prey. It was equally natural for the native, respectable and intelli? gent white people, who had heretofore controlled affaira, to feel a supremo dis? gust, and to hold themselves aloof from this mass of ignorance and vice. It mnsb DOW be remembered that the large majority of the gentlemen in tho State, of exp?rience, patriotism and virtue, were laboring under the political disabi? lities of the reconatrtuction Acts, which prevented thom from taking part in legislativo proceedings. But time, with its healing influences, has shown to the colored people that thc white people have no disposition to de? prive thom of any of thoir rights, civil or political, that have been conferred or them. It has proved to the white peoph that tho colored citizens, generally, fuel no enmity against thom, aro not dispos?e to oppress them, and aro willing, if no anxious, to avail themselves of thci learning, experience, virtue and patriot ism. It has also proved to tho adven turers, white aud colored, that tho pye of tho milice colored people aro opeuccl ti thoir selfishness aud rapacity. Ilaving arrived ut this conclusion, th question is, how can wo avail ourselvo ?f tho pojver of this native element nm got rid of the bad influenco which ha heretofore controlled it, using tho colore people as mere voting chattels, tb plan der and ruin this devoted State? The need and d?sire tho virtue, intelligeuc and experiouce of tho native white pee pie. Tho white people cannot maiutai the anoient virtue, dignity and- honor c this old State, unless the native colore people will cc operate TT?th them. Th corruption of this State Government i notorious; bribes are openly offered tc and reaeived by. Senators and Benn sentativos; high officials are engaged i speculating in the stocks and bonds c the 'State; all these great crimes ai being perpetrated openly hero in tl: capital, and there hos not been tho'fir. ?roseoution oommenoed to prevent then n a word, the anoient honor of tl proud old State is lost and gone. Evei white man and every colored man, wi is a native South Carolinian, must d plore this disgraceful and humiliatii condition. Your committee believe that the publ mind is ripe to correct this evil aaa cu this disgrace, and, therefore, propose tl following resolution: ??Resolved, That we recommend to tl Legislature tho passage of au electh law, by which tho C0.0UO tnx-payii voters will have a proportionate repi non tatum in tho Legislature of the S tal with the 90,000 voters who pay no tax? A. proposition so just, reasonable ai conscientious cannot fail to comme: itself favorably to every right-mind citizen. -Respectfully aub m i tied, JAMES OHESNUT, Obairnrif& Your committee, to whom was refer? tho resolution providing that tho Exec tive Committee with tho President this Convention, shall have it in chat to protect the interest represented this Convention during the interval adjournment, to keep in view the curre legislation, and to call the Conventi together at such time as thoy think p per, beg leave to report that they In had tho same under consideration o recommend its adoption.

SCIIENCK'S SIMPLE TREATMENT, And availed thomselveB of his wonderful cfll cnciouH medicines, they would not Lavo fallou. Dr. Sohouck liss, iu his owu COBO, proved that wherovor sufticicnt vitality remains, that vitality, by his medioiuos and his directions for their uso, i.i quickened into healthful vigor. In this etat om o nt there is nothing presump? tuous. To the faith bf tho invalid ia made no representation that is not a thousaud tiniea substantiated by living and vit-ible works. Tho theory of tito euro by Dr. Schonck'u me diuiuo is as simple as it is unfailing. Its phi? losophy requires no argnmout. It is self-as? suring, self-convincing. Tho Soawoed Tonie and Mandrake Pills aro the lirat two weapons with, whh-li tho citadel of tho malady ia assailed.' Two-thirds of tho cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this condition tho bronchial- tubes "sympathize" with tho stomach. They respond to the mor hiiio ari ion of thc liver. Here, thon, e?mes tho culminating result, and the setting in, With all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. Tho Mandrake Pills aro composed of ono of nature's noblest gifts-tho Podophillum Pcl tu.tu.rn. They possess all tho blood-search? ing, alterative properties of calomel; but, un? like c&loinol, they ?LEAVE NO STING 1IKI11ND." The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposita in tho bowels s? nd in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, is wound up. It arouacs from its torpidity. Tho stomach acts respon? sively, and the paticut begins to feel that he ia getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. Tho Seaweed Tonio, in conjunction with tho Pills,.permeates and assimilates with the food. Obytiuoation is now progresaing without ita previous tortures. Digestion becomes pain? less, and tho cure ia seen to bo at haud. ? There ia no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite acts in. Now comos the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering ' man. Schcnok's Pulntonic Syrup conies in to perform tts fa net io? s and to hasten and com p?ete tho cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot bc cheated. It collects and ripous the impaired and diseased portions ot tho lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares thom for expectoration, and lo! in a very short timo, tho malady is vanquished, tho rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all tho dig? nity or regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy thc manhood or the woin.iiiliood that waa GIVEN UP AS LOST. Tho second thing is, tho patients mud stay in a wurm room until they got well; it n ai mont impossible to provent tukiug cold when jAii lungs are diseased, but it must he pre? sented, or a care canuot Ito effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially iu this suction of tho coilutry in the fall and winter benson, are all wroug. Physicians who recommend th.vi course loso their patients, if their lungs aro badly diseased, ultu yet, because they aro in thu liouso, they must not sit down quiet: they must walk about tho room as much and as fast as tho strength will hear, to got up' a good circulation of blood. Tho patients must keep in good spirits-ho determined to get well. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is tho great point tn gain. To despair of cure aftersuch evidence of ita possibility in tho worst cases, and moral cer? tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Hcbom-k's personal statement to thu Faculty of his own cure was in these uiodust words: "Many years ago I was in tho last stages of consumption; con flo nd to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then, liku a drowning man catch? ing at straws, I hoard of and obtained tho preparations which I uow ofter lo the public, aud they made a perfect cure of me. lt seomed to mo that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened tho matter in my lungs, aud 1 would spit up mei o than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morniug fora long timo. "As soon RB that began to subside, my cough, lu vor, pain and night sweats all began to leave hie, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from oatiog too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in ll.-nh ever since. "I waa weighed shortly aftrr my recovery," added tho Doctor, "then hulking like- a nure skeleton; my weight was emly ninoty-soveu pound-; my" present weight is two bundl ed amt twenty-five [115] pounds, aud for years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health."

Tho Hcapirometcr de? clares tho exact condition of tho lungs, and patients oau readily learn wbotuor they are eurabin or not. The directions for taking the medicines aro adapted to tho intelligence oven of a child. Follow those directions, and kind nature will do tho rest, excepting that in somo cases tho Maudrako Pills aro to bo taken in incrcaaod doses; tho throe* medicines need no other ac? companiments than the ample instructions that accompany them: First croato appetite.

Within tho last twenty-five years, not ICBB than a ecuro of virulent poisons havo been added to tho repository of tho medical profession. They are given in small dos?s, othorwiso they would destroy life immediately; bnteven in minute quantities, they produce, ultimately, very disastrous c-fftcls. It is un wiso and unphllosophical to employ, as reme? dies, powerful and insidious drugs, which, in subjugating ono disease, sow tho seeds of another still moro unmanageable. None of thoso terrible medicaments operates with as much directness and certainty upon tho cauBCs of diBcaBO au HOSTETTER'B STO?

Arsenic and quinia are given for in? ter mittents; bromide of potaBsium for nerv? ous disorders; strychnine and pruBsic aold for general debility; mercury, in various forms, for liver complaint; preparations .of chloro? form and opium for sleeplessness; and yet theso deadly drugs^do not comparp, as spe? cifics ?or thc diseases abovo enumerated, with that who'cBomo vegetable invigorant and' alterative, while they aro all so pernicious that it is astonishing any phi ai ciao should take tho responsibility of.preecribingthem.
