CONSTITUTIONAL fJoHVBNTIOH. ICONTlNUJiU KROM KIR8T PAGE.] Too quontiou turned upon a motion by Mr. G. D. TUimaii to consider the vote by which tho amendment to tho original rectum, offer* d hy Mr. John 8 tone, was adopted. That amend ment Inserted "any " instead of "one eighth or inure." ho that no inter marriage of white persons with one of any negro blood in permitted. Mr. .lohn&tono bpoke earnestlj' againtt striking o<d, his amendment. He wanted Anglo-Saxon ?uro rule and Anglo-Saxon pure hlood supreme in this Stato. Ho was opposed to any in ? termixture, whether there was 1?Hi or 1-32. Mr. Sligh?Would you forco a man of 1-1.6 or 1 32 to go hack and raise up negroes f I should think it better to raise up white families. Otherwise, ^_it h< evuvt.y tue, it would bo unjust Mr. Johnstono declared it would be better by far to koop tho man of all ayes in tho negro ranks than to mou grellze tho races, if you aro going to keep them separate, keep them sepa rate. If you are going to takedown the barrier, take it down. Ho spoko dramatically of a man with IM negro blood in him, asking a white girl In marriago, which her-parents could not prevent if tdio was of legal age, and then their horror uP'-n finding their first grandchild with dai?k skin and kinky hair. Mr. Smalts was sorry he had been tho cause of BO much disturbance. Hut ho was more than ever anxious that tho section .should pass as amended hy Senator Tillman. Ho wanted no in termarriage in tho State. Ho had seen sovoralsuoh marriages horo, and i/1 every Instance the woman was one /who had been cast out by her own race. He had known many such mar* rlages olsewhore and in hut very fow instances were they honest marriages ?that the. women wore not good or honest, and that tho negro was none or t'ny hotter. There was no danger of Intermarriages in this State; no honost negro woman would becomo a white man's wife, and vlco versa. He Introduced the resolution in order to give his people somo protection; to help them In escaping an evil they had boon suffering under for a hundred years. If ho should go out upon tho streets this evening and iiibult a white woman, in the morning his body would bo hanging as a sign on the avenue. But if the same treatment was ac corded the whites for advances to the negro the convention would have to adjourn sine die without finishing its work. A mom bee objected to personal allu* , slot)a by Genoral Smalls, and tho Beau "*V ?? statesman replied that ho was not personal to tho innocent. Mr. uarker agreed that tho matter had no pl\oo here, butithavi'ig been brought u\>. it should bo acted up-n. Ho a^r vv p"h M** Johyiiteuo in be lieving the Intermarriage of persons, when either contained any mixed blood, should bo prohibited. He would be unworthy of tho teaching o( his childhood if he entertained any miser able prejudice to the negro. But the question lioro is tho religion of race. If we are justified in adopting a meas ure of this sort, it can only be done upon that principle. We cannot enter into the question of fractional qualifica tion. We eau only be justified In his tory by our determination to maintain an absolute division of the two races. Tho moment we depart from that we are gone ; it will stand before the world without justification. If l-ll) why not l-S. if [-8 why not 1-4V No, sir: not 1-1<> or 1-32 or one drop other than put'0 Anglo-Saxon blood. What other barriers can we erect against the evasion of the ideas become pre valent at the North, that those wich negro blood may bo upon social equ ality V Tho motion to lay on tho table a motion to rooonsldorJMr. Johns tone's motion was then put and lost. Tho amendment to sootion 24offered by Mr. R. U. Til I man wore again pre sented. Mr. (I. I). Tilltnan objected to tho amendment as being purely legislative ?the matter was already provided for. Mr. H. H. Tillman explained that the section only prohibited Intermarrying, providing no punishment. He propos ed to provide a punishment. Mj*. G. I). Till ma heidthat the pro posed amendment committed a blunder of half the proposition submitted on this floor in attempting to make laws that should bo passed by the legisla ture. Mr. B. L'. Tillman said the eyes of the world are on tho convention ; thoy could not alTord to pass this matter over without recognizing their respon sibilit ies. Mr. G. D. Tillman contended that the section in the committee's report was put there to provide against a time when a political earthquake might put those in power who favored Intermar riages. Mr. B. H. Tillman?Lot's put a little dynamite into it. Mr. Johnstono?Oh, do more dyna mite. Mr. Tillman--That amendment of yoiws striking out 1*8 negro blood con tains more dynamite than any other thing offered bore, ami you wHl lind it out. It cuts off people who have negro blood, but who for ono cause or another had gotten Into good society. Mr. Johnstono and Mr. Barker main tained that this was not retroactive; it ^j>nly effected what i- to come. Mr. T.i'rnin admitted that such would be It A. effect, and spoko to his amondmont. si le said there wen; famil ies living In the State now. moving in society, who have negro blood in their veins and you would cast a cloud over them. Miller: ? May you live long to tell the truth Mr. Barker pointed out that tho sec tion referred only to the future. Senator Tillman said : " ff wo aro not Pharisees of Pharisees or showing the merest sham of morality, wo^bould auoot tue amemnnents. We, WCAild make a mistake, if in face of tau,nftt that have been thrown at us, we should dodge the Issue, and to say you will lOave It to the Legislature you simply ..dooYe the issue." Mr. Hondorsoo said that he was sat isfied chat tho section would not bo re troactive. There is now a law on tho matter. Mr. Johnstono said that ho had votod in tho Legislature to make miscegena tion a crime and would vote for it again, and he for one was not acting a Sham, hut wo are hero to deal in prin ciples and not legislative matters and he would now vote against putting tho amendment in the constitution, becuuso it was a matter for the Legislature. Maj. Barker said that after consider ing tue question further he admitted that it would hnvo a retroactive elTect, but nevertheless he would stand hy the section. 11 might he unfortunate that some people might, in tho futnro, by this law. be prevented from marrying in a white family, but sympathy for them (ails before his desire to porpotu at" the purity of the race. Senator Tillman said that he knew no BUOh pcoplo personally, but ho know that there were such in tho State, who were good Confederate soldiers, who had married into white families and wore received in good society. Ho thought no law that would bo retroac tive shook! he passed. Mr. (i. I) Tillman asked whore prop arty rights would l)0 infected. Major I 'arkor said HO. Mr. .lohnstone, continuing, said that j he wes unalterably opposed to having ! this legislation put in tho constitution, because of the taunt-.and sneers hurhd at the members of the convention. Mr. Fitch was in favor of no half cut ? provision on the question. Ho favored Senator Tillman's n mend merit. A motion having been mado to t-.ble Senator Tillman's amendment, a vote ? was finally taken, by ayes and Does, and | the convention refused to table oy a vote of 0.*> to 33.

Mr. Wigg said that while thanking Senator Till man for bis words In behalf of the negro, but he would havo to ac cuse him of crawfishing, bocuuso he didn't favor the original amendment disfranchising a white man who co habits with a negro. He appealed to tuoni to stand to the rack and vote for that amendment. Mr. Princo said that ho was tired of the insolence of autouiatis mouths and movod tho previous question. The Tillman amendment was then adopted. Mr. B. R. Tillman withdrow whut he had offered as Section 35, saying that there was already a law on the subjoct and it was surplusugo. Mr. Henderson wanted to reeonsidor too vote whereby Mr. Tillinan's am endment was pasbed in order to in troduce an amendment to Section .'14 providing that nothing in the section shall invalidate auy marriage entered upon, or affect tho offspring or prevent their marriage with a white person. Mr. Miller hold that tho umondment made invidious distinction. A man with nc'gro blood in his veins who passed as a white man was provided for. but nothing was said about those men with the same amount of negro blood in them who stilled pussed as negroes. Mr. Barker moved to lay the amend ment of Mr. Henderson on the table, which was agreed to. CONVENTION ADJOURNS. A Recess Taken for Ten Days. After twenty-two da\ s of service in framing a constitution, the delegates to the convention took a recess until October 15 at the end of the session Friday, an adjournment being had at 12 o'clock. A gi eat many mombors loft on the oai'ly morning trains for their homes, nut notwithstanding this there was considerably over a quorum present. Everybody was in a kind of demoral ized condition, however, and not much business was transacted. The debate on abolishing the right of dower was continued ami concluded, with the re sult that tho provision was retained in tho organic law by tho decisive vote of 83 to 18. Another very important matter was introduced by Mr. Ellorbe. It is to do away with the session of the Legisla ture this fall, by tho convention mak ing tho necessary appropriations to run tho State government for the next year. The resolution will be consider ed after the recess and should it pass wo will have no Legislature until .January, 1807. During tno night session Thursday there were some personalities indulged in by Mr. Rogers of Marborn and Mr. Burn of Darlington. As is so often the case words wore uttered in tho heat of debate that in calmer moments would not have been. At tho morning session both gentlemen expressed regret at tho occurrence and the misunderstand ing was settled to tho satisfaction of all parties. A petition from women of Lexing ton County praying for the right of suffrage was read and received as in formation and referred to tho coin mitteo on suffrage. A communication from Mr. J. B. T. Scott, president of tho convention of county supervisors, was road and re ceived as information. Tho following introduced by Mr. Datum was unanimously adopted : Kesoved, That we the delegates of the people of South Carolina assembled in convention for tho purpose of fram ing a constitution for a free and in dependent people, oxtend our hearty sympathy to the Cuban patriots, now struggling for tho same precious rights. U.solved second, ''bat we call upon tho Federal government to recognize the Cubans as belligerents so soon as tho rules of international law shall permit. Mr. Sligh, at 11:4.">, moved to adjourn, and the motion was carr'ed. ? Tho ad journment, according to Mr. Tillman's resolution, will last until Tuesday, 1 Oct. 15. When tho convention reconvenes, the report on legislative department will have the right of way. In the opening prayer Friday morn ing', the chaplain alluded to the illness of the president of tho convention, (lev. Evans, and made an earnest plea for his restoration to health. Gov. Evans was able to bo out for a short while on Friday and will doubtless call tho convention to order when it re convenes. ?M What do you hear from Hiram V" said Sunup. How's ho doln' at col logo ?"

Dragging itself westward across the dreary plans of Utah, the ovet taud train, fro'n a vantage point in the sky, looked like a small horsehair snake crawling over the earth's sur- [ face. The earth?almost the air?was white with the heat of the Summer , sun. All was vastnesa, immensity, | silence, loneliness; above, the flawless j blue; below, those Seemingly illimlt able plains of reddish yellow, streaked with alkali white, that swam hack and 1 forth before the eyes in parallel lines until far off they melted Into a long, I low stretch of shivering light, the mocking water mirage at the base of the mountain range hundreds of miles away. Kncompussed within that horizon there was nothing of life ex cept within that desultory moving train. Stocked in the emigrant or third class car of the train wau a crowd of tired, miserable and dirty people. They looked out listlessly at the passing landscape, or stupidly at each other, or twiBted themselves Into all sorts of uncomfortable positions on the hard woodon seats in vain efforts to secure a little Bleep. Perhaps the most unprepossessing of tbem all was a dark-featured, roughly-dressed man. Beside him was a very little girl in a blue lire.-.. .His lowering, repollant face had a scowl upon it which sug gested the convict or tho desperado, but ho was neither. Tho scowl aud the unconscious sneer about his ugly mouth were born simply of a long anu thoroughly fruitless struggle with mis fortune. Altnougb pretty, it was easily to bo seen that the little girl v/as his child. She wab tho solitary ray of sunshine in that railway steerage. Even the dull faces of tho people'in the car took on an expression of tondornoss when they looked at her, for sho had cheered them during tho last three weary days with her joyous laughter and merry I play. Just now sho was lying asleep on the breast of the ill-favored looking man, one chubby band pressed against his rough, unshaven cheek. It was unnecessary to ask If the child had a mother. She was a momentous factor in a mighty problem to the man whose arm svas about her aud whose knit brows/and troubled face showed bow bard/it was ho studied it. A crazy letter had come to him across the con tinent, and ho had left the tenements of New York to try and reach the golden land of California. Ho bad started with hardly sutlicient money to taKo himself and child moro than half the distance, but ho had a con fused bort of an idea that ho would in some way reach hia destination. Bet tor it wiic, at all events, than to re main in the noisome Hosier strcoi. den, where, without work, or tho prospect of any, his llttlo sum of money would soon bo gone. Tho station to which hia scanty purse had enabled him to buy a tioket for himself and child had boon passed hours before, and he was wondering how soon tho conductor of tho traiu would discover the shameless imposi tion he was practicing upon the rail way company. He had not much longer to wait, for presently tho auto crat of tho train, In a hurried passage through tho car, stopped auddeuly be fore him and glanced at the check In his bat. " Hello ! Where aro you going "r"' Tho man looked up in what was in tended as a humble, respectful, and piteous appeal, but his lip curled up over his teoth, llko that of a harried dog. Ho could not help it. His voice was mild enough though, aa ho said : "lam going to California, sir. with my little girl." The man's looks seemed to irritate the not-too-oveu temper of the railway olllcor: " You aro, oh ? Well, whero'a your ticket lor tho rest of the way V" ?'If you would pleaso let mo go through tho train with my little girl," replied tho unfortunate one, falter ingly, "I think I could raise the money." '? Go through tho train V Not much. Third-class passengers stay in this car. You got oil* at tho next station," said the conductor iu a voice of fierce warn ing as ho passed on. The man looked despairiugly urouud at his follow passengers. There was a glimmering of spmpathy and pity for him in some of their woo-begone faces, but there was little money in their pockets, even if thoy desired to help him. In about an hour tho conductor came Into tho car again and gave the boll rope a vicious pull. The engine re sponded with tsvo short whlstios, and gradually tho train slackened its speed and stopped. "Coino, now, you get oil hero," cried tho conductor, roughly ; " we're behind time already, and you want to hurry up about it." Again tho man's lip curled in an ugly way, but he made no answer, excopt to gather up tho few paper bundles of bread and meat on the aoat before him. Then, taking his child in his arms, he followed the conduc tor to tho platform and stepped off tho train. Befote it was under way again, however, a humane brakomau on the last step called out to him : "Say, partner, thor ain't nothiu' hero. This is only a Hag station. The cast-bound'll be along in a few hours. Stop her and board her. Tho con ductor on that train'U let you on. It's a moan shame to put that kid oil in such a placo !" In truth, little about the place In dicated a railway station. There was a little closed sentry-box-looking affair beside tho track, and fifty yards be hind it the remains of an old dug-out. Not even a trail showod where it was that any human being had visited the spot. And round was tho dreary waste of billowy plains and tho burning sun overhead. In tho rear of tho sentry-box Its pro jecting roof had cast a little ahado, and hero tho man sat down upon tho ground with hia child dtill in his arma. Strange things, for him, came to his eyo8?tears. The little ono looked up at him in a puzzled way, and ho hastily brushed hia hand across his face and left a broad smudge of railway soot upon his cheek. She clapped her hands and laughed with gleo at his funny face. Thon thirst camo to them?that awful torturing, unreasoning thirst which tho dosort alone can glvo. Tho child eric.I for water, and tho father loft her iu the scanty shade and stepped out into the glaring sun. Neitho in tho sky nor In tho pareheel ground was thoro a drop of moisture, and ho knew it. He roturm d and tried to comfort her, and then ho sat down again, buried his face in hia hands, and tried to think. Tho even lag was coming on when ho roao to hia feet with a now roaolvo. Away far olT in the woat a thin, al most imperceptible stroak of smoko told him that tho east-bound train was approaching. Near tho track ho [ found a dirty shred of a Hag hanging to a stick, and he placed it in the i soekot of the upright post standing in j front ol tho houso. Norvously hia 1 fingers fumbled in hia poeketa until ho produced the stump of a lead pencil. Picking up a pieco of pasteboard, he w|>oto upon It, in groat rough letters: 'HUM B ONM TAKK THIS CHILD. * ; f 8IIBHA8 NO PAKKNTH, j Wltn. a^irig he^ladodytki pluoiu-.f' around tno neck of the/ little girl. This done, ho took hor in his arme, ! kissed her again and again, pointed to the sinoko that was becoming blacker and longer, and told her that water was coming. When the rails began to sing of the approach of the coming 1 train, he placed her near the track, and then ran and hid himself behind the dug-out. From his hiding place he looked out and eagerly watched the child, while the cattle and clamor and thunder of tho train grew louder in bis ears. On it came with a rush und roar, and flew past tho btation in u gale of wind and dust. Too man's heart died withiu him, and then it beat wiiniy again. The train had stopped several hundred yard's past j the station and was coming buck to uie , sentry-box. Tho engineer had seen DO tattered flag. As the long train rolled slowly back ward, curious aud inquiring heads protruded from the ear windows. Tho gold-emblazoned conductor stepped otY and looked about him in wonder. Not for Beveral moments did be discover the child. Immediately there was a orowd about It. A white-jacketed | ' porter came out of a Pullman car and , placed a wooden step on the ground before it. Ho was followed by a lady in black, who descended from the car and joined the throng. A pair of yearning, eager, beseeching eyes watcheU it all from the dug-out. To the man in biding it seemed that tho determination of his child's fate would never be reached. Fiually be saw the lady in black take the child In her arms, kiss it and re-enter the car with it. The passengers scrambled baek into the cars, the conductor waved bis hand aud tho train moved on. Then the father came forth and gazed lonuringly at the departing train ?gaze? at It until it became smaller and smaller?until it became a dot in the plains?until it vanished?and he knew ho was alone. He strotched himself ou the baked groun1 that night to sloep, hut could not. Two little stars in the iirmaueut ?modest little strrs very near togeth er?remiudod him of the eyes of bit child, and ho tried to iix his thoughts on them and of her. but It wa.-> vain ? he could not forget bis thirst. The terrible suu rose tho next day and looked upon him as its victim. He endoavored to eat some of tho bread bo had saved, but tho dry crumbs wore torture t' his throat. One thing only was the o do?to follow the track i until an li .abited station was reached. It might oo fifty miles?it might be more?but there was no salvation away from tho railroad. He started off bravely enough, bis longlug oyos fixed on tho ever-reced ing point where tho glistening rails mot in tho far perspective. But some times his gaze wandered even further on to where it surely soemed that blue green trees woro bathing their f<*et in cool, still waters. At noon whim resting for awhilo, be heard the rattle of an approaching froight train. Hope swelled up with in him us he stood on the traok and made frantic motions to stop the train. The trainmen merely laughed at him. Ho did not know lie had employed the favorite ruse of tramps. Froight trains weie not for the accommodation of such gentry. Nor was it a support able case that a wayfarer in the desert was unprovided with food or drink, else why should ho bo thoro? After this his progress was very slow. On the third day ho came to the end of his journey. Ho may have been delirious or he may have been quite sane. A train slopped for him I and took him on board.

S. Gov't Report RS?!*! Sfcwdef ABSOLUTELY PURE How One Boy Was Kept on a Farm. N. K. W? in c. hi in i > i ..n im i n. Very often we see in the papers articles on " How to keep the sons j of tarmcrs on the farm," and many times they are written by those who have no sons, and often by those quite unacquainted with farm re quirements. 1 should like to tell how one i\ew England boy was in duceu to become interested in farm life that perhaps other farmers may see possibilities for their sons for mutual benefit. In 1874 my boy was given at birth $10 for his name, which 1 put at t; percent interest for him. When he was eight years old he liked to help me care for the cattle, and one black steer calf he had taken quite a fancy for. As 1 at that time was in need of a few dollars whieh 1 in tended to raise by selling the calf, and except tor that i could keep it as well as not, i proposed to him he buy my calf and one of our neigh bor's that would match it, and so bor's that would match it, and so have some stock of his own?a prop osition quickly accepted, and from that time with ownership came a quickened interest in all the work of the farm, but particular in com fort of the animals in winter and to increase productiveness of the lields in summer that he could have sufli cient to feed them as he liked through the winter. As they gre?v up he broke them to drive, and from the time they were four till now they or their represen tatives (purchased by proceeds of their sale) have made the major part of the working team of my farm, so that what was given him as a privilege brought prolit to myself as well. As they became merchantable, they were Iiis to cell wbpi lie choie, and the money obtained' Iiis to use?in vest again or put in bank as he saw lit?generally kept invested in cattle as most profitable. Once or twice 1 I have lent.him money fo buy a par ' tioularly promising pair before he thought his others were <|iiite fitted for the market, and by thus trading he has acquired the habit of judging "points'' in cattle that some men many years his senior would be glad to possess. As lie grew older I told him he might have the last two win ters of his minority to himself, if he would help me summers. As a result, I have had a good team nearly all the time since '87 to "je; iL and my other neat stock has ecn more carefully tended, and now t his majority he has snug in the ank for savings, $500?$300 from lis steers and trades, $200 from his wo winters' work?not a large sum urely, but along with it a knowledge ?f stock, how to feed and care for it o have it thrive ; habits of ohscrvu ion of methods of raising crops to est advantage; self-reliance as to lines of changing (selling und buy ng) that otherwise might have taken >me years after his majority to ac uire.

It will pay just as well, propor ionately, to look as carefully after ?he fowls as we do after the cattle, i'o be profitable they should be fed, uot merely for existence, but for growth and eggs.
