offered an interesting suffrage plan.
At 4:30 p. in., the Convention adjourned ,
for the day.
The seventh day's session of the Convention
was as serene and placid as the surf.act
of a Lake on a sultry day. There was no:
avan an echo of the previous day's battle >
words.
The convention was in session only about
hah uu hour owing to the fact that none of
tho committees were ready to report. A
Hood of new ordinances and resolution-,
were received and thou the convention took

of the cause of woman's suffrage who wished
to address tin-<*011 ventioji. Colonel Aldrich
stated that they had the iig'ct that any citi '.en
had to l?e heard and C> present their
grievances. The convntiou agreed to ft
with< lit trouble.
It'iring the day several important ordinances
were introduced Among them wore |

prwiJeot. He called upon tliem'to rehuks
the slander.
Col. Aldrlch olTored the following aa an
amendment to Mr. Patterson's resolutions to
be substituted tor the third resolution:
rii mt the suid newspaper, the State, has
*1... t > r* i ..ila.reo irv fbn nenuu
by this convention, and that (or tha balance
of the session its representatives l?o denied
ml minion to the floor of tho convention a ed
that tho sorgeent-at arms bo charged with
tho enforcement of resolution."
Col. Aldrich in his speech aaid they al!
knew that the elevating influence exer used
on society by the press was gone. They all
knew that in tho inoruiug when they 'saw
| something in a paper of a sensational aad
! defamatory na'uro they never even bothered
! themselves to And out it it was true or not.
] Any honest man, particularly thair president.
| could afford not to notice it at all. ilis impulse
would have boon not to notica it at ail.
The paper nad abused tho privilege given it
; and tho only legitimate tiling for them to do
i was to cut off that privilege, that tho con!
volition had pi vou It. The representatives of
i the press were granted the privilege to sit
I there and report the proceedings of the convention
lor the benefit of tho public and tor
i i he;: own financial advancement, so long as
they i.'-.saved themselves. When tho nrivilegcn
wore abusod the only thing the convention
could do was to put thorn out.
A strong speech was niado by ex-Governor
Sheppard against tho Patterson resolution,
in which he stated that Col. A Id rich's resolu1
ioii should not bo adopted, because tho re
porter of tho paper on tho lloor had demeaned
himself as a gentleman and itiruishod
fair and full reports. Ho had no objection
to re-affirming lus eoulidenee in the
president and thought it well.
Many speeches wore made on both sides,
some taking tho position that in stating that
| tho second vote boro out what it was claimed
Hi lirst vote was, it was requiring them to
swear what they knew was uot true,
although the president had been honestly
ni 1staki'li in announcing it. Many were ?q.,
puM'il to tho convention taking any notion
oi it. Mr. A Id rich's resolution was tabled.
Senator Tillman made one of his hottest
| speeches, drawing tho factional linos, and
saying that it was not a personal matter
| when- you could go frail a ninn with a stick.

Mr. Moore offered the following: "That

husband, wife or heirs at law of him or her,

TilK TKN MI DAY.
Although Friday's session of the Cousvitutional
convention was apparently a frivolous
one. full of good nature and humor, with
nothing of eonseqtjeuee before it, so lar as
the general public could see, it was iu reality
a session that meant tire taking of a longer
step t .ward- the real business for which tho
eon vent ion was called than tin' whole of the
fortnight's pubic proceedings put together.
Tic convention was pit tan position where
it iuiii t-il i> nit w. .inn <>f tint tvwivtt vit fill 1/ int.
portnnt matters if will have before it. The
commit toes on the l? ^i.-?|jiii\ ? and executive
departments, on arii'-ndmciits to lli*> Const i111:i
mi, on ilnain" and taxation and >>n iniini--11>m.i
i orjiorat'on - :.nd police regulations
submitted ilo'ir i -ports on all the mailers referred
to ihfiti under ilioir --t?\1 Iliads in
tin* sliaj ;ir; to the Constitution.
The provisions pro>-at ! jM tli-- several articles
reported have lieon agreed |,y tiio
eoiniiiittees and on tin* > cmuittccs that prepared
tlieiu are .some of th most prominent
men on liotli sides m the o invention. Iloneo
it is pretty sale to say that there will hardly
lie many changes ininle in the articles as rei
ported. Therefore, viewing the matter in
' tiiis light, as a good many delegatus do, the
. public is placed in possession of a good portion
of what will likely ho put into the new
Constitution. On some fctbiogs there wlU
or course bo bin fights all aloug'tho IIuo. Tho [
.Stale constitutional shadow over thodispen- j
sury law is removed by tho provision oil that
subject which has boon presented . Charles- '
tou is to have ono senator only, according to j
tho committee's report. A constitutional ,
j two mill tax is provided for school purposes,
| as is also an animal capitation tax. Woman's
1 suffrage upon a property qualification is re1
ported favorably Cor certain municipal olec- j
| tiouu Four years terms of office are provld- |
; ed for members of the Genera! Assembly. ,
I Another provision provides for tho keeping I
j of tho homestead provision pretty much as ,
j at present.
Several ordinances and resolutions met a j
i somewhat sudden and unexpected death, i
i among them being "Undo"George Tillman's
! whipping post ordiance, the killing of which
; means no doubt thai the whipping post j
i system is forever doad iu tho Htato of South ;
| Carolina.
Mr. M?-.Mahau offered the following No 1
! person |sliall be debarred from being a !
: witness era juryman, or from voting or I
1 holding office, or from any other right of j
j privilege enjoyed by any other eltisen of this !
. State on account of his opinion respecting !
I religion."
It. B. Anderson, ono of tho colored mem- j
! burs, offered the followiug
"Whoroas, the diffusion of knowledge as i
well as virtue among tho people, tends to
make them industrious and law abiding
1 people, be it.
'Ttesolved, by the people in convention
i assembled. That tho Leirislature. as soon as
