On lh« fourth paffe of th>« D«no will b« found an Article copied, head Tinea and all, from the Newa and Courier of the 6th Inst touching the nrant de plorable affair near Broxton’a Bridge, for every affair la deplorable In which ' human life la loat, whether It be by mla- chauce, In aelf defence or with niaHce. Our readera will note that tho article referred to liltutratea the atyle and apirltof JournafUm now |>«>|>iilar with the leading dally paper* In thla Htnte. While Tim I'aona la no apotoglat for any form or»maplfeatatlon of lawleaa. neaa and while ft doe* n *t call In quea- tlon tl»e gooH^tentlnoa ofi theae lead ing paper*, yet/In It* beat )udgment their method* are wrong and not the heat calculated to aecure re*pect for law and enforcement of It* command* and requirement*. Time honored doctrine and mtotom have held with na that all men charged with violation* of human law are entl- ' tied to be beard before condemnation and that the jury la the only power competent to pronounce judgment of guilt. There la a* little jiiatlflcetlon for trial by newspaper aa by Judge Lynch, and reaorU to eitlfer are vlcloua in principle and demoralising In piac- tlce. ThaJ udgea on the bench, with all thelf learning and high character, are not allowed the latitude to take aldea for or again*! any aoeuaed. and according to onr conception editorial reapoMlWIIty Is on the same high plane a* Joulclal duty to hold the acaleaeven, to state the facu, declare the law and leave the verdict to the conscience of the jury charged with the trial. There Is a natuial sens# of fairness that protests and revolts against any attempt to dwarf men Into being pup pets to do thehiddlng of a superior will and the very effort to do that will net In motion forces t* defeat the best Inten tions, and no newspaper, no matter how great, wlae or good ought, n» we see It, In advance of trial to pronounce this man oi act of men Innocent or that man or act of men g&klty and no usurp the power* and functions of judge, ao- Mcltor, witnesses and jury. The Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional Convention closed it* long labor* ou the 4th tiisl., iMving been in sea«lo» for three months, lack ing one week. The Constitution ^adopted is considered by good author- Uiea who have given It careful consid eration to b« much better than the old and as good as could be framed under existing conditions. It Is to take effect an December 31st. The proceedings during the last session ware Impressive in show log how unitedly the delegates, irrespective of ao called factional division, had joined to do what they could to make the best possible constitution for the State. Raaolutlons complimentary to the President, Oor. Evans, were intro duced by Col. A Howard I’atlersvn and adopted unanimously. Ou behalf of the Convention Solicitor Bellinger In graceful and well timed address pre sented a handsome gold watch to Pres ident Kvan*. In responding Gov. ~ Evans wan happjTTn nfitlBr asiu mam uer. Of the result of their labors as reconciling past differences he said “There are times, gentlemen, places and circumstance* that bring the hearts of meu together, when the outside bickerings, when dissensions, when animosities are fergetten and hearts that were divided become united and beat for one body, f feel that this con vention now representing the sover elguty of South Carolina now rests In that condition. It has been the cherished hope of the most of us that this convention would be the means of framing* law around which South Carolina could unite, around which divided people could unite and bury pa«t differences and be brethren once more. 1 feel that this has been accoin pllshed. We came here with some mis givings. We came here, some of u*. distrusting one another. We came here possibly thinking that some of us In the best of debate, lu passion, would Inflict wounds that would never be healed. I thank Uod that this has not been the case. I thank God that this body will adjourn and, I say it from my own heart and I believe I but reflect tire feeling and the senti ments of every dq^egate upon this floor, •when 1 say that when we ,eave here we leave with no heart burnings, with no prejudices. We leave It a united peo ple once more. linn. George D. TilfnMn, by Invita tion, made the last speech of the con vention. In appeaptnoe, wisdom, man ner of thought and expression Ive hear* a nearer resemblance to the' philos- opberaof the olden tln\e than any man who has lived In this State within the present century. He may well bo con sidered the Pather of the political rev olution resultlng'ln the calling of this convention, having begun his public Hfe hy making waroa the old time parish system of re presen ration, and for the establishing of smaller counties. In speaking of the marks of the consti tution and the reconciliation of the Democrat* of the Srate he said r Mr. President, we can all hope* great ileal from the Constitution we have adopted. It is not such an instrument a* we would have made if we had been a free people We are not a free peo- I le. We baye not been since the war. fear It will be some time before we can call ourselves free. 1 have had that fact very-painfully Impressed upon me for.several year*. If we were free ■instead ot having negro suffrage, we would have negro slavery. Instead of having the United States government we would have the Confederate States government. Instead of paring $3,- •80,000 pension tribute, we would be receiving it. Instead of having many things that we have, we would have ether and hotter thing*. But to the ex tent that we are permitted to govern ourselves and faiy pension tribute to our conquerors, we hare framed a* good an organic l*w, take It ae a whole, n* tbe wisdom and patriotism of tile Bute could have desired. I believe 1 speak what every member on this floor feels In his ba«rt when j aey from the first dav when we met ere to the present hour, the conven tion ha^bat-oine mure anj more consol- Ildated a* one maw and Inspired by one puroose, stint ulatad by one effort, to do rhe best we could for our rod mother Htate, showing that we never have divulvd vu principle diuliyp the year* of attire, and that our have been baaed noon men and personalities last ala year* of strife, politics not nieasorea, personalities and not prlncloles, and true Deinnoracy as de- IItied by Jeffsrson demands measures, not meu. It must be a source of great gratifica tion to every member here and their constituents nr. home to see with what unanimity, with what courteousues* and yet with what independence of uc- lion their feprescnlive. in this body have made the Constitution which we have just ratified. It Is a rainbow of hope that the State may hereafter be united a* in the past, as one man. For remember, my countrymen, I; took all thowfforts we could lay forth In *76, and for many year* thereafter, to control this State; and If we become divided, as I fear we may lie, and as I hope we Will not foj some lime to come, we may find It atili more difllcult—t wont aay ImpoHsIble. I have an abiding faith In tbe Anglo-Saxon race, as there never ha* been a conaiderable r.iimber of them together any where that they did not dominate any race with which they came In contact; and whatever may hup pen I have faith that they will rule. But a* 1 said, let u* never forget that It tmiit the combined forces of all the men, women and children In South Carolina to get and keep control, and that we ought to try In a spirit of self- ‘sajrtfice to come together here as we were In ’76. —^—5= Upon motion of Col. Aldrich the speeches made during the Evening were ordered spread on the Journal of rhe Convention. The News and Courier of Monday has letters from over llfcy member* of the C'onVfentlon relative to Its work. Col. Aldrich wrote: The division of the Democrats of tbe State luio two opposing faction* Is un . natural and Injurious. It cannot last and if needed time alone to reconcile the difference*. The bringing to gether in the Goiistltutlona) Conven tion of representative men of both fac tion*, where they have worked together amicably and patriotically, has done much to hasten tbe day 'of reconcll- lat on. It I* too aoon *o pass judgment upon the work of the Convention, but it I* not venturing !<*> nuicb to say that the self-sacriffcing labor of such a body of men cannot wholly fall of it* object. Much depend* upon the »plrlt In which the people receive the new constitution. Chief Justice Cooley said that what is contained in I've Constitution I* net the fnndameiital law, but only so much of it a* llic people endorse becomes tbe or ganic law. If the people accept and ratify our work they will find enough lu the new Constitution to bulkl a grand and prosperous futflre upon. And that Urey will do so we cannot doubt. They have hever lacked in words of |*t.rlotlc duty and they will not start now. 'Chat there vflllbe dif ference* of opinion upon many provis ions of the new .4 onstltutlon Is to be expected None of us got all we want I'd, yet we must compromise our < if- fe re lice* and settle down upon the ac complished work of the Convention a* the best attainable, anu go to work like men, to make the new Ikmhm of our old imither Mtate a lit habitation for all her children. Solicitor Bellinger wrote: It strikes me that nearly If Not quite all Intelligent people who have follow- fill the proceedings of the Convention are convinced that oh many questions of politics and State craft there is abundant room for honest and multi form difference of opinion. Therefore It should loglcaHy follow that no fu ture attempt at social or political ostra cism should he made on account oX opinions or affiliations. To any one whose sole claim to dis tinction rests upon factional fealty and whose political life depends upon an at mosphere of tunnoil, suspicion and hate, tbe spirit of conciliation, candor and natrlultsm characterizing the Con vention must have seemed ominous of approaching doom. 1 have yet to hear any expression which runs counter to IBfi ffiBerst opinion that «* tme faction lias not a monopoly of brains and cul ture neither has the other of patriotUii) slid self-sauriflce. And best of all both side* have aequlrcd a spirit of charity and profound respect for the other. Tbe Constitution Is neither an exotic nor a sport, but a plant springing f iaturally from the soil to (>e nurtured n Its own habitat. It Isa legitimate child, born in due season, breathing the true spirit of the time* and to grow strong and sympathetic with the con ditions surrounding it. D U the solemn duty of each delegate to endeavor to see that It Is enforced in letter and spirit, and that it commands that respect which it deserve*. I*o to-d*> ’* duty, fight today’s temp tation. and do not weaken and di-tract yourself by looking forward to thlnga which you canno. see, and could nbt understand If you did see them.
