It had already caused much trouble. The Rov. 1?. M. RailVord was then made temporary chairman. Raill'ord was as black a negro as you could find, yot ho woro a clean white standing collar anda white four-in-hand tie. Raill'ord went up into tho pulpit and addressed tho convention in the most dignified manner, with a suavity that was remarkable and not a little amus ing.' Ho spoke of the peculiar oratory and homo-made eloquence of others, and proceeded to deliver an essay on it, Ho hoped that Ibero wero none such present today.

Walldco of Newberry said many of thom Rad come here nt thoir own cx . pense, and they wanted the conven tion to get to work quickly. Tho convention then took a recess foran hour, and reassembled at four o'clock. When it reassembled tho committee on- organization made its roport as follows: "Wo, yourcomm i lice above named, beg leave to submit our report: "Oflicors- Chairman, 10. C. Brown ; Secretary, A. B.

Thoro was then mia li di- -"..-ion ?is to tho political f eu Hi re ot' such an or ganization and the idea seemed to bo gonoral that tho eslablishhig of such an Organization was carrying politics into religious circles. The discussion wasfast and furious and it was easily .. xdon that- thoro was much opposition by a fow to such un organization. A motion was then carried that tho re port bo laid on the table temporarily. For a half hour Ibero was tho worst kind of a langlo which was brought clear by J. fi. Wilson making tho point fhat tho committee was sim ply to elect olfleers ai permanent chairman and secretary of tho conuon tlon, and had gono boyond its powers in'making the second part of thoro lient seorotary, by thc adoption of tho rn OS', of 111 .u in ch .er od <;iii>i(rN wo?ii oii iiio u(ii, "Swept recreation barr'd, what doth one JW moody abd dull ualftuolioly."

Hart moved to adopt, when Middle fon rose and said that they should strike the portion looking to organiza tion. It was dangerous; they would likely lind Hu: t politicians would grab lip ( he organization and money would doubtless be used to destroy ils usc fullness. Ho moved to strike out. J. H. Johnson and A. P. Dunbar submitted tho following minority re port : Whereas, there is to be a Constilu ional convention hold for tho purpose to disfranchise tho colored citizens of this Slalo, depriving thom of the right guaranteed to thomby tho Constution and therefore ho it Resolved, That wo, tho ministers of the Slate of South Carolina, urgo noon our people to register toa man and be ready to vote for any man or set of mon whrtare opposed to such diserini ination among it? citizens irrcspccliv of party ?rname. Hart said it was wrong to ask tho people to orguniz when tho men who were to lead them refused to organize. He went on at some length in an .im passioned R? ""say timi organiza tion"''?o?uci not Pe dispensed with. They had to havo mon watching all the tillie, otherwise tho people could not be informed whp to voto for, etc. Middleton mado a brief reply. ' Then thc Kev. J. C. Tobin ; got tho lloori-.nd ho made "Homo howl." Ho was surprised lo seo men stand there and say "don't organizo," oven while the throats of our children yet unborn aro preparing to be cut. I, for one, nm here to shed my last drop of blood and have my body burned and the ashes IhroAvn to thc winds before PU do it. (Groanas and "Yes Yes.") Ho was for a fight all the way through. Wo can leave this county, I can, for I haven't anything but my grip and coat and it's almost worn out. Ho talked war from beginning lo end and said if there was any .niau there who was not aroused to his utmost he ought not to be there. Middleton-Whero is Ibo money lo do this coming from? Tobin-Whero you get your support from-thc people. The chairman said that it was time lo stop talking and get to work. A motion was then put to lay tho mi nority report on the table. A standing vote was taken, tho three old negro preachers-Middleton and the Rices sit ting. Tho motion was carried by a vole of 31 to 7, It was then decided to adopt tho majority report by sections. When tho preamble was struck out, the men opposed to the organization mado an eilort to strike out all refer ence thereto. Only sixteen supported this ofi'ort. Asimilar etl'ort was made, with another portion of tho preamble, but it was voted down. Middleton said ho was endeavoring tc avoid political parties buying thom. Ohappcdlo said that this was an in sult to tho Christian ministers. Wo came hero to work with all tho parties wu ich will work with us to save our rights from the wreck. (Applause.) Wo don't come here to ploaso any man or sot of mon. Wo aro hero to keep a telegraphic wiro running from tho pre cinct to headquarters. Tho political leaders are looking down to '1)0. Wo don't want tho Stato, and wo aro not going to get it. Money, intelligence and sense have to run tho government. Wo don't want to put ignorance back !.i there. God knows there's enough ( f it in thoro now. Wo don't want tho offices. (Rice -I wauls all I can get out of 'em.) Wo don't want to bo cow ardly. The white peoplo know mis take's had been made oven in 1870. If you don't believe it, read Thc State. It ls said that he who sits on a hot stove will rise again. Middleton sits on such * stove We've got to strike theso kind H^V^ out oi H10 wiy- Chappell? called tor Hui devions question on tho whole matter. Middleton replied tb vi.* uqrsonal slashes of Chappcllo. Daniols pie^^d for unity of action. Jacobs had con siderable lo say by way of explanation as to why they wanted organization. I io believed that a whito man who had to fight .disrespects any man who won't cobie out mid light. Tho cir cumstauccs had boon so different. Tho peoplo of tho North havo been lotting things alone becauso thoy know wo wore ignorant. Ho wont on for some limo lo explain his attitude Middleton said if thoy organized tho whiles would all get togcthor again. Middleton prcsontcd a briof report from tho committee on education which was most appropri?t o and it was instantly adopted. The roport stated that the committee thought ed ucation was a most important question, "but this is tho timo for tho considera tion "of other mattors." (Laughtor.) Thou tho latter portion of tho roport of tho committee on organization was taken up again. After a long fight by tho committeemen tho chairman final ly ruled that it was for tho convention no ) n dRl tho various ??lloes provi in tho constitution.

Tho following address, being the report of the minority, was adopt ed by tho convention: .- TIMO A1-MMUCKS. To tho colored citizens of tho Stato of South Carolina: Wo, tho negro ministers of South Carolina, in. con vention assombled, for tho purposo of organization,that wo may moro otl'oct ually assist our peoplo in seeing their rights and privileges guaranteed to them by tho Constitution of tho Uni ted States, declare these principles as the platform on which wo stand. We assomble, not for tho purpose of furthering tho interests, or to bo swayed by, any faction or leaders of factions, hut as Christian citizens, who now being mudo to secure in tho com ing Constitutional convention, thc practical disfranchisement of our peo ple in this Stato; wo assemble for the purpose of counselling togother upon tho wisest and best course to be pur sued by us in order to meet thc emer gency that confronts us, and lo issue advice tc? our people, which acted up on shall bo patent in securing to thom tho full enjoyment of guaranteed civil and political rights. We believe that the wido influence of the ministers of thc Gospel lays up on him a corresponding responsibility and that therefore ho should use his knowledge and inlluence foi* tho good of his peoplo in every way, as a reli gious teacher and leader, appreciating also tho fact that good citizenship is a religious duty to bo urged and incul cated. 1. By encouraging the men of tho race lo put forth every effort to secure registration certificates, that t hey may oxerciso tho rights of free men and citizens and in case of denial of tho right to register to be prepared to fur nish evidenco as to tho ground loi such denial. 2. By encouraging ward and pre cinct meetings, in which information i may bo given as to tho political situa tion and to arouse enthusiasm looking toward a broader and better citizenship in the State, based upon true patv;o}( ism. , .

By encouraging our peoplo to se cure information as to tho purposo and policy of each party and to bo pre pared to voto intelligently for those irinciples and candidates' that stand "or right and justice to all men. . To this end we recommend that ev ery minister of tho race uso his inilu onco in tho homes and gatherings of his people to inculcate right principles, to spread information, to promote education and lo impress upon tho men of tho race the importance of a true appreciation of tho rights of citi cenship, that his rights may be res spectoel, his ehildron educated and his home and family may bo protected. And upon the work of this convention of ministers wc ask tho favorable con sideration of this entire Stato and country and invoko M?o blessing of Him whose naino wo bear before the world. Wo also recommend that our peoplo sacrifice willingly their means to se cure their guaranteed rights through thc highest courts of tho land. Resolutions wore adopted endorsing tho Atienta Exposition aipl thc colored press of tho Slate, and tho convention adjourned sino dio. A Shocking Story, ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 15.-Andy Block, ono of thc Murray County Kuklux, plead guilty* in tho Federal Court to attempting to lynch Henry Worley, an informer on tho moon shiners. Ho said ho was ono of sixty men who rodo up to Worloy's homo one. night last spring and called him out. All of the men wore armed. Black's story w ~ a thrilling ono. It created a sensation among tho wit nesses and other defendants. Black saidsovornl mon took cotton balls sat urated with kerosene, which burned brightly as they approached the house. Tho lcador of tho crowd knocked at tho door and asked for Worley. Wor loy's mother carno to tho door and ask 0(1 what wc wanted with Henry. Wo told her that wo wore going to hang him for roporting. Worloy's little daughter carno to tho door and all throe of thom stood there. Wo told Worloy that wo'had como lo hang him, and that thoro wasn't any uso of resisting ; that ho would have to como and that wc intended to talco him alive or dead. Worloy wos terribly scared and begged for morey; said ho wasn't I guilty or roporting, and got down on I his knees to us." Tho prisoner paused hore a momont to remarle that ho nov or was so sorry for a thing, and ho would novcr forget Worloy's pitiful looks as ho crouched on tho porch of [*?? his hmnblo home. "Worley's motlier -.yog talked to by our men," continued llife prisoner. "They told hor that lier son had Wu a traitor to her people'and that she ou^ht to he willing to havo him put out of thp way. Hoary looked at his mother and asked her if sho, loo, was against him. Sho said 'yes,' sho was going lo lot tho mon take him for all sho cared. Worloy broko down thou and cried liko a baby, and told tho mon that if his mother hud gone back on him they could take him out and do what they plbasod. Ho noven* resisted us and when wo told him lo got on a horao ho did it. Worloy was tied with, hands bohind Wm, and rodo in tho middle of tho crovil of mon on horseback. Ho novor spoke. Wo went up tho Blood town road, through Bloodtown ?to Bloodtown Gorgo. Worloy. was swun)j up to a treo and loft hanging by tho piob.

Hamlin drew the cartridge and looked in tho barrel re marking that "it was dirty." Smith said "No;" that he,had not long before cleaned if. The cartridge was re placed and tho youths talked awhile. Hamlin asked Smith to let him try the gun on n robin. He, Hamlin, put the gun under his arm. Ho had on an overcoat. Soon after a robin appeared in sight. Hamlin quickly drew the gun from under his arm to shoot tho bird, when it went oh", the contents entering Smith's right breast. Smith fell immediately but soon got up and exclaimed: "Oh Roy, you've shot niel" He fell again and never spoke another word.

Untlor tho ubovo captain tho Nows and Courier of last Wednesday had a most timely editorial, whioh wo com mont to tho altonlivo perusal of all wlplo mon. Our eotem])orary says, in speaking of tho rccont Republican CdnV.ontion, "in tho division of tho Whito peoplo of this Sluto tho Republi can leaders seo their opportunity, and i\ i.,_IA..iUU ?? a MO... address whicli they have sent out is plausible and adroit. It is calculated ut oucb to arouso tho negro and pull tho' wi ii to man into a false sonso of "security. Its statement of tho race situation as an element of the political problem is as ingenious as it is falla cious. Tho Republican address rep resen's the colored people as th? patent recipients of all niannorof Wrongsiil tho hands of tho white peoplo, who are charged with breaking faith with them 'and dopriving them of their civil rights, and with the intent to render thorn' ever after powerless lo assert t hose rights, yet there is declared to bo no attempt to overthrow white supre macy, no Ropiilicnn or colored candi dates ure put forward, but the Republi cans, nine hundred und ninety-nine thousandths of whom are colored, are advised to voie for those while men whom they can best trust. Now, wo take it that tho intelligent while peo ple of this State have no desire to im pose upon tho negroes, nor do they wonder that the colored people should look at tho Constitutional Convention from a racial standpoint and seek to accomplish what tiny think best for their raco. Rut the while people must bo. permitted likewise lo look at it from a racial standpoint and be ex pected to do what they think best for tho whito vaco. Will it bo best froid that point of veiw that the delegates lo tho Consitulional Convention owo their election exclusively to white men, or that they shall owe it to while men aided by negroes? Cnn any while man hesitate as to tho answer? Aro all or a majority of tho whito people of South Carolina ready to rally round tho polls, cheek by jowl with our col ored fellow-citizens, on a footing of perfect equality, and choose tho beat men for tho Convention, regardless of color or political prejudice? Certain ly not! However desirable such rt political mil Ionium may bo from a purely abstract point of view, it docs not exist. This election must bo either tho white man on ono side and the negro on thc ot her, or some whito men on ono side and the negroes and some whito men on tho other. In tho lid tor case what will bo tho result? Ju our humble opinion the white men who haVo negro allies will bo beaton out of their boots. But supposing that tho white men and their negro allies should win. What then? Would IhOro eyer be peace in South Carolina willi a party in power that depends on '.ho negroes for its majority? It is an ugly dihmua, but wo li ad oswell face it oiico for all. Lot tho Convention be a white man's Convention out and out, elected and supported by tho while people of the Slato. We can trust while men to do right by their inferior race, but we cannot trust ibo inferior race with power over tho white man." Tho Si. Matthew? Shortage. Tho??lumbiuStatu says Gov.

The bulk of this amount falls on tho State and not on the county,as Governor Evans thought. There is now due the Slate, so Mr. Scruggs reports, $2,0:l8.:lu.

I inn not speak ing from theory when 11rcfer to thc off eels of tlib treatment. 1 speak from actual experionce-from the closest observation. Statements made about tho treatment hoing deleterious to health aro all bosh ; it is just oxactly tho contrary. I havo scon numbers of nervous, haggard, distressed looking drunkards go away from hero, and when reporting to mo upon their re turn I did not need to hear thom say thoy never felt better in their lives be hove thc treatment hud been a physical as woll as a moral bone?t to them. Tho effect upon disciplino is simply marvelous. I do not want, if I cnn possibly prevent it in any way, to be deprived of tho possibility of getting this treatment until every man need ing it in my command hus had tho op portunity of procuring it.
