Tbo q ention refused j luueiiuiii'iy posija ny a vote 01 33 to 57 and then ad led the section j as section 122, with a'imeudmeiit by | Mr. Howell, brief buMportant, which makes it read: i.| "Whenever it shall,1 brought tc ; the notice of tlicgove} |r, by affidavit, I that any county ollici >r any other j ifficer who lias tho cuA |}y of public j or trust funds isprol>u\ of em bezzlemcnt or tho ng'opriation of public or trust fuuds t private use, then the governor shall lirect the immediate presentation o? ;ich officer by the proper officer of ffo circuit in Arhich ho resides, and q>on true bill found the governor shat suspend such officer, and appoint onj in his stead antil he shall have been ^quitted by a verdict of tho jury." The words "by affidavit * constituted Mr. Howell's amendment Section 11 in this orig lal report, j section 12 in the report ak \ amended, ; was tho nextbono of canter/ion.

This amendment was adopted despite the opposition of Messrs. Etird and Aldrich who contended that as the gor- I ernor had absolute power to reprieve ! it wuh not necessary to give him dia- < oretion in the matter of referring petitions for pardon to the hoard The seetion as amended was adopted. The section regarding the .State oUlcers was amended, ou liTOTUfn >ri- MtfT -?Winkler, so as to provide that their salaries may not be increased or decreased dnring their term of office. PKOLINBD TO TAKE OOD OtJT OF TUB CONSTITUTION. Mr. McMahan, just as the question was being put on the whole article, moved to recur to section 3. Too convention showed its indisposition to do this and Senator Tillman kindly suggested that if the gentleman from llichland wonld indicate his purpose in recurring his proposition might he looked upon inoro kindly. Mr. McMahan explained that his purpose was to strike from the section the requirement that the governor shall believe in a Supreme Being. He thought it tended toward the political control of the religious sentiment of men, toward the intrusion of religion into polities, which was repugnant to the sense of a large and influentialele- ! ment of the State's citizenship, includ- j ing the members of the two most im portant church denominations. Mr. McMuhan's suggestion of recur- j rence was promptly and heavily sat ; npon on this explanation. The article was then adopted and sent to a third j reading as a whole. No. lJ 011 the calendar, the report ol the committee on municipal corpora- i tion.s and police regulations was then taken up. Section 1 of this bill wsi amended and read as follows: "The legislature shull provide by general laws for the organization and classification of municipal corporations. The powers of each class shall be defined by general laws, so that no such corporation shall have any power or be subject to any restrictions other than all corporations of the same class. , tliti s and towns now existing under > specia' c harters may reorganize under tuu i^fucrai uiwH oi me rotate, ami when ?o reorganize I their special charters shall i'i'iisc and determine." j 11: tiiii e t-c.'tion w.s adopted ft-' (lie v i;i ; a ; 1 (|, a ithoUt oje >yil!otif I lie i\\i) us follows: See.

Mr. Jeremiah Sm^th offered un amendment that no p6fftou shall be sentenced to work on 'the streets until 'i ' ? ( r tlie right to demand trial by jury j le^st tax. Adopted, ijho report of tho committee on /"tioipal corporations occupied the oft^Wfcer of the her vice. ^ -- < >- ? EXEMPTION t'KOM TAXATION. Cities May So IJoss Future 'lauufuctures of as Much us $10,000 Capital. The time iu tho convention .vhh occupied nearly till of Thursday, the fifteenth day with a section of the article ou municipal corpora tionH, giving the corporations the right to exempt from taxation manufactures to be hereafter established with not less than 310,000. Thu light was a hot one ami cuused some curious divisions, Senator Tillmau leadiug Conservatives and itepublicaus and minority reformers in favor of the section, while Senator Irbv and other promiuent reform leadera were foremost in attacking it. The result of it was that the section was sustained by a majority j of one vote. An attempt to amend another seetion of the same article by making capital stock of banks subject to municipal taxation was defeated. At the night session most of the municipal corporation article was adopted. The section referring to the dispensary law and the section regarding the municipul indebtedness was continued until for revision and amendment. The legislative article was read >ver and will be considered soon as it ;au be reached. From the present rato of progress, the convention is likely to be iu seslion at least three weeks longer. The committees on now counties and >n suffrage arc hopelessly deadlocked, &aving been accidentally composed of L2 members each. In each of these j there aio directly opposing reports, tigned by six members. These will both cause hot tights. At the uight session tho committee , on miscellaneous matters submitted a rnnnSPil Ni>nt.inii fnr nrlontinn tlirmiMi Chairman Sloans. Unfavorable reports were made on I resolutions offered by Mr. D. S. Henderson, relating to granting divorces; ^Jr. Dudley same subject; J. C. Alexander to prohibit the salo of products of public institutions; H. 11. lluist providing for auditing of priyate 1 claims; M. P. Howell relating to innr- ! ried women's property, now section 8 | of the present Constitution; J. V. A. : Moore exemption of ijersoualty; ,T. J. McMahau reeoguiziug divorces grauted in other States. The committee asked to be discharg- ; ed from further consideration of Mr. | MoMahan's resolution forbidding discrimination on account of religion, and asked that it be referred to the com- ! miUoa ?u declaration of rights. Tho article proposed by thd commit- I tee is about as follows: Section 1. All oiHcoholders must be qu&l- ! ified electors. Sec. 2. leaves to tho legislature the power to dellne the manner in which claims against the State may he established and ad- , justed. Sec. .1.

Because Alilricli Wanted to Forblil tlic Negro Holding Any State Ofllcc. Kailcoeds Must Walk a i'ltalk Lino. In the constitutional convention on Friday, the sixteenth day, the committee on corporations reported an urticle covering that subject in nineteen sections, most of which are wholly novel in the organic-law of the Stuto, the old constitution having touched very lightly upon the regulation of corporations. The first section defines corporations to he all associations and joint stock companies having powers nud privileges not possessed hv indvidua.s or partnerships, and excludes muuicipal corporation Seccessive sections show the following provisions of general in- i tercst: No railroad, express, telegraph or telephone company is allowed to make contracts relieving it from its common law liability. No charter shall be granted by special law except to institutions under theeoutrol oftlie Stute, but the Legislature is required , to provide for their organization under general laws, and all charters are to be subject to repeal. Every corporation doing business in the State shall maintain at least one public oftice in it for ; the transaction of business and exhibit of the holdiugs o.'stock, etc. All discrimination in charges or facilities for ] transportation and all charges of high- , er rates for shorter than longer distances are prohibited. Any railroad , niay connect- eroai vfr intersect uny other railresll. No railroad or transportation l-tiipany aliall control ; or consolidate^,^ parallel or competing lines, an |0 "*8 Mre to decide the , question who- 110s aro parallel or competing. "W Legislature is forbidden to grant \uy foreign association , or corporation a' license to build, oper- I ate or lease railroad lines in South ] Carolina, but in case of inter-State liues the o'vuers must be incorporated under the Stato laws. No general or special law shall be passed for the benefit of any foreign corporation, operating a railroad in the State. The Legislature is forbidden to grant any charter for banking purposes, but corporations or associations for such purposes may bo formed uuiriitnii'o 1 I..? v?v 4 jm ?.V r?. ?uv>vn nauuiiui; IH expressh prohibited. The Legislature in required to provide for the election of officers of corporations by the cumulative plan. Corporations shall engage in no business excej>t that specifically authorized by their charters. The Legislature is required to pass laws against all trusts, combinations, contracts ami agreements inimical to the public welfare, and to prevent abuses, unjust discrimination and extortion. and shall provide for the supervision ami regulation of such companies by commission or otherwise. A railroad commission is established, its duties to be regulated by law. the existing commission to continue in pos- 1 session of all present powers uutil otherwise provided by legislation. Every employe of a corporation doing business in the State shall have the same rights rind remedies for any injury suffered by him from the act or mission of such corporations or its employes as aio allowed to other per Rons not employed. All waivers of this section shall be null and void. All charters under which organizations in good faith shall not in good faith take place ami business be commenced within ? year from the adoption ot the constitution shall be thereafter \ ml. -.11 i: ..cut provisions are made agiurst any legislative modification ot llii.se provisions. The report of the committee on municipalities left it optional with the Legislature to license liquor Milling, prohibit or continue the dispensary system. A motion was made to amend by prohibiting the granting of licenses for the sale of liquor. Tin was a long debate upon this, the Conservative members and some Reformers declar- j ing that there was a general under standing during the eampaignthat the I question should be left open. At Inst Tillman said that he had pledged himself to loave it open and was committed, and while he did not want ever to see a saloon in South Carolina again, \ i \>{ the dispensary might have to be a\ doned for the Gothenberg system; lo it would be unwise to prohibit all licensing. On his motion, the debate nan adjourned until to-morrow, to enAble himself and others to prepare an amendment which would meet the difficulty. After work of no general interest, a recess was taken until evening. The night session was one of the stormiest the convention has ever held. Col. Robert Aldrich offered an amendment which denied to the negro the right to hold any office in the State ami for an lion* and a half argued from decisions of the Supreme Court and from the Congressional Records containing the story of the passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, thut the right had never been given the negro to hold offico by the United States constitution or amendments. Ho seemed to impress many members to such an extent that Senator Tillman jumped on him with both feet and a stormy hour or more followed. Col. Aldrich and Till muii hail it Lot ana heavy. Ti 11 urnn was never more vehement in al! hi* life. He told them thut if they did not kill the matter then and there, they would make the greatest mistako of their lives; they would lie ruined. Tillman's iuflucnee controlled the situation and despite persistent efforts to adjourn, the convention laid Col. Ald rich's scheme on the table !>v a vote of 102 to 25. < ?.JANUARY INSTEAD OK NOV. The Ijegisluture Hereafter Will Meet ! In the First Month. Sympathetic Cuban Resolutions Go Over. In the Constitutional Convention at Columbia on Saturday, the seventeenth session, the first final action on any one article of the new constitution was taken. Tho article on the executive department, after having gone all through the tearing process of three readings was adopted at exactly 12.12 p. in., and was sent to tho committee , ou stylo and rovision, becoming there- | by a part of tho new document. It , has taken tho convention exactly 17 days to reach this stage of its work, \ but the members hope to push matters ; along now and complete everything i within tho next three weeks. Another important feature of to- ; day's work was the adoption of an amendment with the parliamentary j ''ncher attached changing the time of holding the sessions of the Legislature from November to .January, and after the first four sessions have been held i limiting the duration of the pay of the members to 40 days. This is a very ( radical change in the orgauio law of the" State/ but judging from the ex- j liressions made bv manv members on I -- ?r j the Hoor, it will uieet with muoh favor among the people. A n effort was made by Mr. Pattouto pass a resolution sympathizing with the Cuban patriots in their efforts for independence, but it failed to get through, and has been laid over for further consideration. The resolution read thus: Resolved, That we, the delegates of the people of South Carolina, assembled iu convention for the purpose ?<f forming a constitution for a free and independent people, extend our hearty .sympathy to the Cuban patriots now couteuding for the same precious lights." Mr. W. i.>. Kvans could see no reason why this convention should attempt to spread itself over land and sea. He i thought that the Cuban question was -oniethiug with which they hail nothing whatever to do. He asked the convention to decline to consider the resoluto . Ten mamlu rsthi rupon objected to tin immediate consideration of the to solution, and it went to the committee on miscellaneous matters, despite ?Ir. Ration's earnest remonstrance. The matter of puttingtbc dispensary in the constitution was called up, and Senator Tillman was about to present Lhe following agreem. nt provision alien the matter went ?v.;r: ' The General A?-cinblv shall never, [?. iwever. iiei-i. ? : y person or cur* ponitiou to : < !! 1:10 nesting liquors or beverages by the uriiilc, or except in unbroki n packages of less than u pint., i which ^hiill not be opened or drunk on j the promises where .sold and not to be <d , between the hours of 7 o'clock iu lii" evening and bo'clock in the morn* 11ami not except in a house that has a > door or ru. thod of communication with any other house and in which no tli.-r merchandise is kept for sale."
