As adopted to ti e constitutional convention was not at j provides that tin all demoralized by the Fair which ; s * ,i ‘** * > ’’ as ’; . . . ii. ii P !1<, t as missinle a was in progress last week, but worked ; llin<f m „ n . l!!;l! , as if there was nothing else for them to do but to work. Many of them visited the Fair, and swelled the crowd which passed through the gates and made it the most success ful fair financially that lias been held for a number years. Not onP was the Society able to pay all expenses incurred this year, but a considera ble paymennt on old indebtedness will be made. The visitors to the fair took in the conventiontion too, and at both the morning and night sessions the gal leries and all of the available seats on the floor of the convention were filled by South Carolinians who lis tened attentively to all that fell from the lips of the convention Solons. Another feature of the week was the banquet given by the business men of Columbia to the mein hers of the convention. It was a grand affair, and while without political complex ion was intended to show that the business men of the Capitol City had the kindest feelings toward all sections of the State, without re gard to political divisions, The ban quet was given on Tuesday night in the Grand Central Hotel and over two hundred men sat down to it. . Governor Evans responded to the toast South Carolina, and he made u very eloquent speech, in which he said many kind things about Colum bia and the return of the era of good feeling. Senator Tillman was sched uled for a speech, but he was too un well to attend. Another meeting in the city which attracted much attention was the Convention of Confederate Yeti runs, oyrsided over by General Walker of lie South Carolina Division United Confederate Veterans. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by the several hundred veterans who met together for two days. Tiny were entertained by the ladies of the Memorial Asso ciation. and by Camp Hampton. Collations were served in the head quarters of Camp Hampton each day, and the inner man was retreshed as much as the intellectual. General Youmnns made a very in teresting an eloquent speech which was fitly responded to by General Walker. Generals Bratton, Farley, Kennedy and Butler. Col. McMasti rand others told many interesting things of their experience during the war. Steps were taken to preserve much of the written, and to put in writing much of the unwritten history of the war. The legislature will bo memorialized to make an appropriation for this work. It is expected that many new camps will he organized as the out come of the conventi »u. and General Walker will endeavor to found one wherever there are enough old Con- feds to make up a camp. The const it utionai convention lias given its attention to three articles in the constitution this week, with several incidental matters, but only one article, the one on corporations, has been passed to its third reading. Another one, on jurisprudence bus been passed over for tlie time being and the convention has under dis cussion, the third, the one on educa tion. Monday morning the report of the committeon jurisprudence was before the convention, and was discussed for an hour or two. Senator Tillman offered the following amendment to Section 6, the one providing for the, removal of the sheriff in ease of a lynching happening through his neg lect, connivance, or permission: “Provided .also in all cases of lynching the county where such lynching takes place shall, without regard to the conduct of the officer, be liable in exemplary damages not less than ♦1,000 to the person so in jured or to the legal representatives of the person so killed." The amendment was adopted, but with that the article passed over, and has not yet been passed to its third reading. The nest article considered was the one on corporations, and Monday and Tuesday were spent upon it. The chief feature on the article on Corporations are: requring foreign corporations doing business In this State to become incorporated in this State; requiring the legislature to provide for the election of a hone ex aminer; all fictitious ihcrease of •tock or indehleduebs by corporations Great Britain Desirous of Forming an Alliance With the United States—Other Capitol News Items.
