An eiTort wns made to commit the conven- tion affainst considering applications for the formation of new counties, but it failed. The counties of the state are abnormally large mm tno old constitution rendering their sub division almost impracticable, on account of its provisions as to area, there IS a strong louoy saeicing tuo creation of many new counties. The third dny's session of the constitution al convention occupied only an hour and a half and there was nothing of special interest in the proceedings. Most of the work was merely of a routine character. At the end new ordinances were introduced. Provision was made, after a wrangle, for the establish ment ol rather a unique engrossing depart ment. T. E. Jiaier, the colored Congress. man or a tew yen ago. presented a contest on behalf of the negro delegation from Wil liainsburgcouuty, which was referred to the committee on suffrage. Col. Robert Aid rich Introduced a complete constitution Which was ruferred. It is intended to pre- mii urora irom even Homing an office in the State. An anti-divorce ordinance was also introduced. An important ordinance was also presented looking to the prevention of railroad cororations from securing con- noi 01 pnrHiiei ami comnctltlve lines. Ren Tillman introduced an ordinance providing for the establishment of a new county to be known as '-Mart awry" county, in honor of iiju memory oi uenerui mart Gary. Alter ihe adjournment the whole body was photo- tmjiucu m iroui oi me capitoi. At the third day's session of the Convention some 40 new proposition were introduced. It is now pretty thoroughly under etood that bi-ennial sessions of th Legislature will be provided for in I stead of nnnual sessions; that the termt of the State officers will be made foui years instead -of two years, as hereto lore; that smaller counties will be pro vided for; that connty courts will bi established, nnd thnt judges will b elected by the people direct instead of toy the .Legislature. When rute 41, in regard to the rati- lication, was reached, the colored mem ber, "Canary" Miller, made an effort to liave it referred back to the people, presenting the following amendment to bo added to the nil?: "And the said constitution, after it shall hnve received the majority vote of the delegates present, shall be sub mitted to the electors of the State ol South Carolina for ratification. The vote of ratification of the people shall ue taken on the second Tuesday in Jan uary, 189C. The vote shall be taken at the several precincts in each county oftheStato. "The form of the ballots to be voted shall be as follows: 'I favor the new 'constitution,' or 'I do not favor the new constitution.' " Mr. Efird raised the point that this was not tbo proper place to present nth a provision, The proper way to present it was In the shape of an ordi nance later on. Miller said that this appeared to Lim to be the only proper place to bring this matter tip. A handful of people had no right to act for the wholo people and declare that the doc ument after they had completed draw ing it np, was the constitution of the whole people. , The president said: "Tha chair will not entertain this in the shape of an amendatory resolution to the rule, but as a regular resolution and refer it to tho proper committee." The re solution took the latter course. Mil ler's effort will be a fruitless one. T T7 CI 1 l 1 . . . . w. m in. ohjiibi introduced an orm nanco to abolish the State Supreme Cjburt, and establish an appellate court consisting of the circuit judges. t! T: 1 1 i ..a j i - nance providing for small counties, 400 square miles each. The present area is about 960 square miles each. Mr. Pntton introduced a snfferage providing for an educational qualifica tion; a property qualification of $300, And for the disqualification of no Con derate soldier or son of such. Sev eral ordinances providing for a four years' term of all State officers were introduced. Mr. Hodges asks for a three mill constitutional tax for edu cational purposes, giving the tas-pytr the right to say to what school it ahaii be devoted. Mr. Farrow, of Charles ton, presents a strong plan for the re organization of the judiciary. Ex-Congressman George Johnstone presents a strong suffrage plan with al ternative property and educations qualifications. Mr. McCown has intro duced an ordinance, which is against the wishes of Tillman nnd Irby and the most ardent dispensary advocates,pro vidiDg that the State shall never issue any licenses to individuals or corpora tions to sell liquor, but can provide for its sale under State control. A The committee on municipal corpo reported reoomaiendicir th The convention's proceedings on oaluruay iiie iifiu seaaiuii, 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 the 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 "Butler" was settled on as the name of the new county. Muuy new ordinances and resolu tions were introduced, one important one preserving the .right of trial by jury for every offense. The new connty is to be. named for the famed Butler family of Edgefield of which ex-Senator M. 0. Butler is the representative; The old antagon ism between Generals Butler and Gary was at the root of the fight. Con gressman George D. Tillman, in his speech, held his hearers almost spell bound and old veterans shook his hand when he concluded. lie appeared as the champion of the Butler family, notwithstanding tha ' fact that his Drotner ana senator uutier had snch bitter fight for the Senate lastsummer. Ben Tillman was not in tho hall at the time. Among other things, he said: "But some people from miserable prejudice object to the naming of this connty 'Butler.' God pity them!" He then referred to General M. C. Butler, and pointed with iiri.de to "his rocord on the battle-field, in the Unitod States Senate, and in every walk of lifo. Yet now there is a prejudice against him. One thing tho 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 bi a hermaphhrodite member of Congresi, waiting to get in before hi beciuu 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 will al ways have Senators there bearing equal reputations for honosty and ora tory. I am afraid, he paussd for a moment or two, "I am afr.iid that there will bo somo tiuio before there will bo his superior, eveti his equal thue." Mr. Tillman then statad that he hadiisen shocked to sao an edi torial in tho 5fluD,' Eeijistejr that" morning a brutal and ignorant edito rialon this matter of the Butler name. "I am ashamed." said he. 'that men live in South Carolina who cau do this." In all this mass of un founded prejudice it seemed strange for hi in to stand there and tell the gentlemen of that convention of the distinguished name he was advocating. It was confounded prejudice, nniust prejudice. Ihe 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 fiO per cent less. Miller introduced another ordinance looking to the referring of the consti tution back to the people for ratification. Mr. Tatton introduced the following io prevent men from being sent to the penitentiary nndor the dispensary law without a trial: 'Tlie ri'iht of trial bv Inrv ni It erlt. t tho foundation of this government shall re main for ever inviolate a d no person shull be punished under cover of irov3iJln or contempt if Injunction or othur civil process or in any other manner, for the dolus of any a-t which by the law of the land consti tutes a erime,exept upon nonvictions there of by process of law -before a jurv of his peers' Mr. Garns introduood an ordinance providing for the appointment of ala- bor commissioner.

D. Latta were secretaries. Forty-nine delegates were present, representing 15 counties. They were all intelligent and conservative. It is quite noticeable " that tha Populists ridicule this convention. The resolu tions which wero adopts 1 were quite leng. They declared that the time has oome for the negro to assert him self; to put aside prejudice and make friends with his white fellow citizens; that sectional and party lines are being removed; that there is commun ity of interests; the most urgent need is of good citizens; the cry is for purer' politics, better leaders; tho lack of organization among the negroes is to be deplored; the new sentiment that every white man and every black man has an eqnal chance for education; tho mistake of the negro for 30 years past ha v been reliance on outside in luences, nt the right thing is to work to e true souroes, God, our selves ana our own Southland for aal- .vciion; progress since emancipation is aot what is desired, but this is due to failure of the negro, to organize in his uest interest; the choico of good lead ei s is recommended; adherence to the principles of ti e Republican party is also recommended; accessions from" any source are welcomed and people arc called on to unite; rings, cliques and paity boswsm are condemned; throw strength of negro vote where it will dJ the greatest good; unite for purer politics; stop the negro howl and the calami tyjhowl; let the negroes become land owners; have an interest in the Foil; the lateXe-Llature 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, politioal, industrial, and social, its deoision to be final; its members to serve one and two years each.
