The re "hitioii took the latter course. Mil Kr's j-tTort will be a fruitless one. I. Wm. Stokes introduced an ordi nr.o to abolish the State Supreme otn t, and establish an appellate court foliating of the circuit judges. Si-initor Tillman introduced an ordi-is.ttu-e providing for small : counties, i''-s.pjnre miles each. The present ar. a is iibout 1()0 square miles each. Mr. Puttoh introduced a eufferage 1 r 'vt lnig for an educational qualifica tion; a property qualification of $300, d for the disqualification of no Con federate soldier or son of such.

Mr. McCown has intro-Qujt-d an ordinance, which is against the w ishes of Tillman and Irby and the t-ost ardent dispensary advocates, pro vidkg that the State shall never issue 8sy licensee to individuals or corpora tions t:j sell liquor, but can provide for its ale under State control. ; , ILe committee on municipal corpo- rations reported recommendirg "the plural sjftem of voting in cities, ccupled ith a female suffrage which, allows the cinen to vote through agents. The Illative committee has decided to How Charleston county .one Senator. The committee is tied on the matter of hi-ennial sessions of the General Assembly and. favors the four years ierm cf office scheme. The convention vr wvwuiud VU Saturday the fifth session, were of the greatest interest The old family feel ing existing for so many years between the Butler and Gary families was brought up in the debate, and George D. Tillman presented a eulogy on the Butler family that was of such interest and so' impassioned that he large audi ence seemed to hang on his words. The convention has decided to estab lish no new counties, save one, divid ing Edgefield county into two coun ties. There was a lively fight over the matter. Another fight ensued over the naming. Finally "ButlerM was settled on as the name of "the new county. j Many new ordinances and resolu tions were introduced, one important one preserving the right of 'trial by jury for every offense. The new county is to be named for the famed Butler family of Edgefield of which ex-Senator M. C. Butler is the representative. The old antagon ism between Generals Butler and Gary was at the root of the fight. ' Con gressman George J. Tillman, in his speech, held hii hearers almost spell bound and old veterans shook his hand when he concluded. He appeared as the champion of the Butler family, notwithstanding the! fact that his brother and Senator Butler had such bitter fight for the Senate last summer. Bon Tillman was not in the hall at the time. Among other things, he said: "But some people from miserable prejudice object to the naming of this county 'Butler.' God pity them!" He then referred to General M. C. Butler, and pointed with pride to his.rocord on the battle-field, in the United States Senate, and in every walk of life. Yet now there is a prejudice against him. One thing the matter with these peo ple who attack him was th-it he could not get office for all those who hound ed him for patronage like hungry dogs after a rabbit. For two years Mr. Tillman was in Washington ai a hermaphhrodito member of Congresi, waiting to jet in before ha becams a regular member. He knew Galbraith Butler, and if the man ever did any thing dishonorable or dishonest he never heard of it. "I hope, (with de liberation) that South' Carolina wi al ways -have Senators there bearing equal reputations for honesty and ora tory. I am afraid, he paused for a moment or two, "I am afraid that there will be some time before there will be his superior even hit equal there." Mr. Tillman then stated that he had been shocked to sej an edi torial in the- Columbia Register that morning a brutal and ignorant edito rial on this matter j of tho Butler name. "I am ashamed," said he, "that men live in Soiith Carolina who can do this." In all this mass of un founded prejudice it I seemed fctrange fur him to' stand there and tell the gentlemen of that convention of the distinguished name he was advocating, ft was confounded jirejudice, unjust prejudice. j The convention awarded the contract for all its printing to Chas. A. Calvo, State printer, despite the fact that other bidders offered to do it for from 10 to 50 per cent less. Miller introduced another ordinance looking to the referring of the consti tution back to tho people for ratifica tion. j Mr. Patton introduced the following to prevent men from being sent to the peniteutiary under the dispensary law without a trial: f 'Tin' riht of trial by jury as it. existed at the foundation of this governm-int siiatt re main for ever inviolate a d no person shill be punished under cover of pro wMiu-j. for contempt cf injunction or other civil proeess 4r in any other mannerj for th-i doing of any a-t which by the law! of the land consti tutes a critne,except upon convictions there of by process of law before a jury of his peers." j Mr. Garris introduced an ordinance providing for the appointment of a la bor commissioner. j Congressman Stanyarne Wilson .presented the following important ordinance: Whereas, By the nature of their avocation, .the great body of wage-earners are at a great; disadvantage in the protection of their rights of person and property, and the su 'pervision and friendly hand of the govern ment is needful in order that the conditions or labor may be known, evils disclosed and the cause of their existence discovered aad , the proper remedies for their removal ap plied. a healthy system of labor secured and 'the interest of the laboring classes advanced; ibeit ' 1 "Resolved,. That the General Assembly, at its first session after the adoption of this constitution, shall create and provide for the establishment and maintenance of a State bureau of labor statistics, which shall be un der the charge of tha commissioner of labor (statistics, who shall be appointed by tne iGovernor, by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, and, and it shall also prescribe his term of office, powrs. duties and compensation; and succeeding General 'Assemblies shall provide for the further maintenance thereof, with powers of amend ing such original act and amendment thereof. , Mr. Mc White introduced a strong ordinance looking to the prevention of .officials from accepting bribes for auj public acts. A CAISSON BLOWN UP. Shocking Disaster in Louisville. 4 Men Killed. . At Louisville, Ky., four members of the Louisville Legion were instantly killed Thursday morning by the explosion of am munition in the caisson of a gun which was being driven to Thoenix .Hill for service in connection with the G.

The caisson contained 60 1 pounds of pow der, enough, to fire forty roundf. The cause of the accident is inexplicable. Sheets were taken from the neighboring houses and spread over the dead bodies. While 100.000 people were watching the fireworks along the river front at night a portion of the grand stand on which were Seated at least 10,000 people, gave way, and many were injured.

A Moonshiner Shipped by Express to Escape Capture. A big dry goods box was shipped from Shell Creek, near Elk Pars, a few days ngo containing, instead of goods, a man. Its destination was some point in Kansas or Texas, no one save,the shipper seem to know just what point. On investigation, it is learned the man was nono other than one Mr. Cable, a desperate moonshiner, who participated in the battle between deputy United States marshals and moonshiners in this State recently. Cable scouted around Elk Park for several days while the oTicers were on the hot trail. They got so close to him that his friends were unensy nnd decided to send him in that unique way to a place of safety. The ollicers are still on the hunt. rOPULIST CONFERENCE. Senator Duller Endorses Non-Fartisan Silver Convention. The Populist leaders in the confer-, ence at Raleigh, at which Senator Butler presided, called on their people to attend the uon-paitiean silver con vention to be held at llleih Septem ber 25th. Some of the Kepnblicans make a similar cill, and Senator But ler and B. F. Kith alio issued a call, signing it as o.Hcers appointed nt the Memphis free-silver convention. The resolution is as follows: "A call having bean made for a non-par iism State free silver conven tion, uniting all persons of all politi cal parties, who furor fre-.e, independ ent, and unlimit'd coinage of wlver and gold into full legl tenler dollars, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and inasmuch as such convention will be on the line of the Memphis silver convention, and will tend to get all true friends of sil ver together um'cr on 2 banner to fight the foreign gold trust and its American lory allies; therefore, we favor the holding of suoh silver con vention, and call upon houest-mouey free-silver clubs of the Stite, and nil othtr persons who favoi the objects of said clubs,-to attend." r NORTH STATE N8C3KOES.

Forty-nine delegates were present, representing 15 counties. . They were all intelligent and cmervati ve. It is quite noticeable that iha Populists ridicule this convention. Tho resolu jioas which were adoptei were quite long. They declared that the time has come' for the negro to assert him self; to put aside prejudice and make friends with his white fellow citizens; that sectional nud party lines are being removed; that there is commun ity of interests; the most urgent need is of good citizens; the cry isforpurer politics, better leaders; the lack of organization among the negroes is to be deplored; the new sentiment that every white man and every black man has an equal chance for education; the mistake of the negro for 30 years past has been reliance on outside in .tiuences; but the right thing is to work to the true sources, God, our selves and our own Southland for sal vation; progress since emancipation is not what is desired, but this is due to failure of the negro, to organize in his best interest; the choice of good lead ei s is recommended; adherence to the principles of the Republican party is also recommended; accessions from' auy source are welcomed and people are called on to unite; rings, cliques and paity boesism are condemned; throw strength of negro vote where it will do the greatest good; unite for purer politics; stop the negro howl and the calamitythowl ; let the negroes become land owners; have an interest in the soil; the late Legislature is con demned . for its folly in abolishing county superintendents for schools; a board of 22 members, two from each district, and four at large, is to be cre ated, to be. known'as the North Caro lina advisory board, in the interest of the negro race, political, industrial, and social, its decision to be final; its members to serve one- and two years each.

Bradst reefs report for the past week says: The week is characterized in trade circles by an unexpected, but no less pronounced, Improvement, South and West. This is reflected at the markets from which supplies are distributed to these regions. At the South, fall trade is opening up more freely than anticipated, with marked im provement in business and increased confi dence as to the outlook at Jacksonville, At lanta and Augusta. The improvement ia iron has had an influence at Birmingham and throughout the tributary region, all evi dence of which is found in the temporary in ability of Birmingham wholesalers to meet the demand for hardware and groceries. Aside from the firmness of cotton goods prices, which is a feature in trade circles Kr.rth anil F.n.t. the most conspicuous movement is the continued activity in iron and steel, nignest quotations yet .raicuwi having no effect in restricting demand. At Chicago relatively more orders are received from the South and Southwest than ever Rovioad estimates from Texas point to only half a e tton crop; but trade is ac tive and the outlook favorable because of a greater relative increase in the price of cot- rm than th rv1 il rH r n in out-tum.

Tne American Boat Wmm Foulod by th ValkyrUIII. in the Second Race. The second meeting of the British yacht Valkyrie III. and the American sloop Defen-. der in the series of races for the possession; of the America's Cup was held off Sandy Hook, and it proved to be the most extraor dinary meeting of the kind known in me ong history of the contests for the famous trophy. It was extraordinary in that the British yacht crossed the home line a leader of the Yankee boat 'by a margin of forty seven seconds, corrected time. It was extraordinary in the fact that there was a collision between the two yachts re fore the starting line was crossed, which re sulted in springing the topmast of the Yankee boat, au injury that coin pel lea ner to cover two-thirds of the course seriously handicapped by want of a proper spread of canvas, and one-third of the course handi capped by such a paucity of sail aa was never seen in a race or tne kina oeiore. Th Defender flew a protest flag just after the collision, which the Regatta Committee formally recognized by displaying the an swering pennant. The committee, after hearing what Mr. Lselin and Lord Dunrnven bad to say down the bay, came up to the city and went to the Hotel Bninswick, where the protest of the Defended was thoroughly discussed. SECOXD BACE JUST BEFORE THE STABT. The conditions of wind and water at the start of the race were all in favor of tho Valkyrie III., especially dsignod as she was for gentle airs an I zephyrs. Iheseawas practically dead flat, and the wind that came drifting up from the south as sweet as a maiden's breath was covering but four miles an hour between 11 o'clock and noon, according to the Government official at Sandy Hook. While maneuvering for position at the start the Valkyrie was brought too near t y the Defender, and rounding to the Valkyrie's boom caught Defender's starboard topmast backstay (or shroud 3he has but one rope t,here), au 1 in a trice the strain on the shroud broke off the horn of the starboard spreader or crosstree. The force of the wind threw tho upper end of the Defender's topmast clear off be yond the plane of tho lee rail, wrenching it above the cap in a remarkable fashion, but. curiously enough, without breaking it eft entirely. The Defender's jib topsail was at oncehaule l down, and, after runuing free for a minute, she c;ime up in the wiml.-cross-ing the Jine and going away on thi pott tack. Of course, the Valkyrie ha I already crossed" ahead of her, and in fine fettle was beating toward the outer mark. The damage to the- Defender was as quick ly and effectually repaired as possible, but after trying to set the jib tops;iil. once more the sail had to be hauled down, while the jib was seen carry only a tinyjio topsail, such as is used in beating to windward in a fresh breeze. And yet, incredible as it must seem to all who appreciate the vast differ ence in the sail area of the two boats on this leg, the Defender actually gained on her rival. There never was such aa exhibit as this in any of the races for the America's Cup, an. I more satisfactory proof of tha su periority of tho Yankee model would be dif ficult to imagine. The third leg ot the coune was saile 1 as a close reach, the ya-hts having the wired jut forward of the b-.jnm. They were at this time on tha port tack, and the wind had freshened to fUtwn inile.s an hour. Though , her mast was cracked, the Defender carried a jib topsail. and was on almost an equality with tho Valkyrie in the sails she spread. It was, therefore, a matter of course that she should gain on this leg of tho course. The Valkyrie had led at the first turn by two minutes nud fifty seconds. She crossed the home line just forly-seven seconds, corrected time, ahead of her rival. I A large fliet of sailing vessels and steam boats crowded wilh spectators followed the contestants over the eourse, and much en thusiasm was aroused at the splendid show ing of the American yacht iu spite of her crippled condition. After a long session, in the course of which a number of witnesses, including Lord Dun raven and Mr. Lselin, were examined, the Begatta Committew of the New York Yucht Club decided to sustain the protest entered by Mr. Istdin on behalf of the Defender, on account of the foul claimed to have been made by the Valkyrie. This decision gave the race to the Defender. After announcing its verdict, the Regatta Committee made public a statement that every effort had been made to induce the yachts to resail the record race.but without avail. Both LordDunraven and Mr. lselin preferred that judgment should be passed on tho protest. E:ich principal assure! the committee that its conclusions would be accepted in a sports manlikeraanner. Lord Dunraven made a vigorous protest against tho crowding by steamboats, and as an ultimatum declared that he would not race again unless the course was kept clear. This was promised by the Regatta Committee. Ilailetones Five Indies Konnd. The people of Wellsboro, Penn., the other afternoon witnessed the most remarkable hailstorm ever known in that region. Large hailstones fell and covered the streets with a coating of ice. Most of the hailstones were as Inrcje as walnuts, and many of them, by actual measurement, were fully five inches in cir-umferenee. Skylights were ruined, and largo holes were made in the roofs. The hail cut Hie leaves from the trees, and crops were ruined in the path of the storm. Drowned While Sailing Toy Yachts. Bernard Fay, the flve-year-ol I son of Thomas Fay, went to Hospital Tond. at Providence, R. L, to sail his toy boats, which he had namtd Defender and Valkyrie. In the excitement attending a race he was super intending the boy fell fnto the water and was drowned. Rather Be Editor TInn Congregant an.
