the deliberations of the Convention.
Dr. Ransom responded as follows:
. Gentlemen: The time has arrived
for our dissolution, we shall soon be
scattered to every part of the State
to our respective homes, and in all
probability many of us will never
meet again.
Allow me to congratulate you upon
the harmony and good feeling which
has prevailed since we assembled;
your labors, though they have been
arduous and .laborious, yet you have
discharged them with that zeal and
energy never before exhibited by
any other legislative body; you have
faithfully complied with the objects
for which your body was called to
gether and have discharged the high
duties imposedupon you with honor
and credit to yourseives. .
I sincerely hope the amendments
Eassed by you may meet the appro-,
atiou of the people and be abun
dantly fruitful of great good in de
veloping and promoting the peace
and happiness of our citizens, as well
as building up living monuments of
honor and glory for yourselves more
pasting than brass.
Permit me to return my unfeigned
thanks for the resolution you have
just passed so ' complimentary of my
self as your presiding officer. 1 shall
ever cherish if in my bosom as a high
ami warm expression of a satisfactory
approval nf the discharge of my du
ties, ih -ugh without experience and
feebly done. Yet I endeavored to
discharge them honestly, impartially
and batifaetoriiv.
It is with no little degree of pleas:
ure that'! return to this honorable ,
body ia v fincere gratitude for the as-
sistaii't e, eoiirtesy and respect which
has beeti extended me as your presid

The Charleston colored military arrived
yesterday morning, but not with as full
ranks as was expected, owing, we under
stand, to the late political excitement ?a that

five . participated ' in the; excursion! fiere,'
where some two or three hundred were ex-'
pected. Those who arrived' were met At
the depot by tire colored, companies of this
city and escorted to their quarters - at Gib

will take place at Hilton to-day. The Wil
