Hon. J. L. Orb, after taking his eeat as Presi
dent of the Convontion, aroBO and said :
Gentlemen of the Convention :
I thank you for the distinguished honor nonferred
in aelectingtme to-presido over the deliberations
of this body. Your familiarity with the amenities
and courteeios of debate will, I am satisfied, make
tho duties of the office by no means onerous or
severe; and allow me to add, it is extremely
gratifying to see so largo a representation from
the various seotions of South Carolina on the
preaent occasion. It is indicative of the lively in
terest which our constituents feel in the great
movement about to be inaugurated-a movement
whoso oonseqnouocs, in any nucubie judgment,aro
destinad to be vast and important. It may be un
successful, and the hope it, generates, like many
of the brightest anticipations wo have oherished,
?"*j- _ ___"_*.__*d? ,hn_,.ii-1? r>_i?ti?r wise nor
philosophic to ccr.v. r-buforo tho c_;_t_iii"a. h
which we are overtaken. It should ntihn- hn nn.
duty to strivo to repair the wrong; and hence I
have felt, whatever may be its resalta, now unfore
seen, that we oannot take too deep an interest in
the assemblage that is to convene in Philadelphia
on the l-i h of the present mooth.
The objeot of that Convention is to solidify all
the conservative elements of the North and West
in one organization, bo that when the FaU and
Spring elections ensue, the vote oast by the
people of those sections will be for conservative
men and measures, and thereby defeat the Radioal
party who have now control of the legislative
dopartmeut of the Government. The issue has
been fairly made between the President on his
policy of reoonstrutiou-so generous in many of
its essential features-and that extreme, bitter
and persecuting policy wbioh it is proposed to
adopt towards those States reoently engagod in
war with the Nortn.
As has been stated, tho Radicals have now
control of the legislative department oftUe Gov
ernment. . By their legislation they also con
template a speedy seizure of the control of the
judicial department. In one of their recent en
aotmouts reorganizing the Supreme Court, they
have provided that vacancies, on the Bench
shall not be filled until the number ia reduced to
seven ; and in view of the fact that tho conserva
tive are the oldest members of that Court, they
have anticipated that, in the course of human
events, thsse will soonest pass away from the
stage of life thus leaving the custody of the judi
cial a? well as legislative department of the Gov
ernment in tuoir hund?.
But will they bo content to stop th_ e ? In my
opinion, if, tue elections of tue North do not
ouange i ho face of political affairs, and the Radi
cals are successful in maintaining their ground
through these elections, they will, before the first
day of January next, not only possess the power,
but they will uad the power to impeath the Presi
dent, turn him out or ofBoe, and substitute a lead
er of their own; so that the Executive department
will likewise pass into their control. They have
already two-thirds of Congress; and althongh it
may bo that we cannot destroy the full effect of
their majority, the North and Northwest may, if
the Philadelphia Convention prove a success, so
far ohange the political complexion of the Senate
and Honee of Representatives as to enable the
President to defeat obnoxious legislation by the
veto power.
' It therefore behooves us to go' cordially and
heariily iuto this movement and to sustain, as far
as we properly oan do. the men and measures
adopted. The call for the Convention is, In my
ju igment, . almost entirely unexceptionable; so
much so that it is neithor wmo nor politic for na
to raise a point concerning it. The majority of
the committee wore members Of the Republican
partv, and it is to consolidate with it the war and
anti-war Dem?crata that oonatitutes on o of the
objects of the Convention. Let us hope that its
deliberations will prove harmonious, and that the
conduct and deportment of the representatives of
the North and South towards each other will be
basedupon the same principles that actuate.two
friends who have quarrelled and become recuu
ciled. Let them ignore the past and go forward
mutually intent upon healing the breach' ?hat ha6
been made, and again strive in unison to make
the o vin try happy, prosperous and contented.
I invoke upon your deliberations all tbo wisdom
tli-?t can come from on High, and trust that South
Carolina will have Cause to congratul?t o you in
coming herd for the purposes of* this Convention.
After taking bis seat the Convontion proceeded
to business.
Mr. W. Robertson, of Fairfield, offered tho fol
lowing resolution, to wit: "That the same parua*
menta-y rules whioh governed the Senate and
House of Representatives of this Blata should
govern this body." Adopted. A resolution also
offered by Mr. Robertson was so modified thai
the yoes io this Oouvention be regardod as taken
by a majority, bnt that any member might oatl
for a vu-o by ?lia trio te, eaoh dlstriot voting .tho
number of votes it might be entitled to, as in the
Legislator^. ) iii ' ? ,- , j j. t '
Mr. E. S. Keitt, of Newberry, presented the
following reaolutions, vis: That the delegates
from o_ch dis trio t be empowered to nominate two
dologatos to reprcaont the State at large, and
four delegates to ropresont oaoh Congressional
district in the Convention to bo hold at tbo City
of Philadelphia on tho 14th instant, and that
these nominations bo submitted to tho Conven
tion, at its next sitting, for their action.
Thia gavo riao to quite a spirited but friendly
disouesion, in wbioh.Mosars. Hampton, Dudley,
McQowan, Townes, Robebtson, Tbescot, Simons,
Cannon and Byan participated ; which rosulted in
the laying on the table tho resolutions originally
offered by Mr. Keitt, and the adoption of others,
na amendments, offered by Moanru. Tbescot
and McGowan. which aro as follows :
Resolved, That this Convention approves the
reetoration policy of President Johnson, as oppos
ed to tho radical policy of Congress, and that we
accept the invitation to imito with tho Democrats
of the country in the National Convention to be
held at Philadelphia on the 14th mat.
Resolved, That this Convention proceed forth
with to eloct four delegatea from the auto at
large.
Resolved, That the dolegates from oaoh Con-,
greasional Diatriot atin.ll elect two delegates from
their reapeotivo districts, and report the soleotion
to an adjourned mooting of thia Convention.
Mr. Cannon, of Spartanharg, moved that the
Convention bave a rocosa until 3} P. M.
Mr. Simons, of Charleston, proposed an amend
ment, to postpone tho hour of mooting until G
P. M., which was unanimously adopted.
EVENING SESSION.
Six o'clock P. M.-The Convention assembled
at 6 P. M. The cara having arrived, Beaufort and
WiUiamBbnrg were represented by delegates; also
Beveral gentlemen from Charleston arrived, all of
whom reportod and registered their names. The

The following gentlemen were nominated te
represent the State at large, viz : Hon. J. L. On?,
John J. Manning, B. F. Pebbt, W. H. Tb.es
oot, D. L. Wabdlaw, 0. W. Dooley, S.
MoAlilei, J. B. Oastpbell, T. N. Dawkins, and
James Chebndt.
On motion of Hon. A. C. Gabungton, of New
berry, the vote waa ordered to bo taken by
Distriots, viva voce.
The Convention proceeded to vote. On the

votos, B. F. Pbbby 89, and J. B. Campbell 98,
were declared duly elected.

coivod that number, the Convention proceeded to

Mr. W. A. Habbis, or Richland Diatriot, moved
that the prooeedings of the Convention be pub
lished in the papers of the State. Adopted.
Mr. Cohen, of Charleston, moved that tue Con
vention adjourn sine clio. Unanimously adopted.
So closed tho Oonvention. The business was
rapidly diapatobed, and no man seemed dis
posed to bore the pitionoo of his brother mem
bers with windy apoeohea. Action was the motto.
The greatest degree of unanimity prevailed.
Tho proceedings of the Convention wero charac
terized throughout by moderation of expression
and the strongest conservative views. The only
desire of evory one, and wo oonveraed with many,
was for reconstruction and the early admission of
the State into the Federal Union. As ono who
waa present and* of strong oonaervatire vie we, wo
invoke the N irtbern people of every party to give
no oredence to the itlK-, misohievoua falsehoods
whioh are oiroulated agaioet our peoplo by preju
diced, crack-brained letter writers, and whioh are
only calculated to mislead them to wrong us, to
promote dissensions, and prolong sectional ill
fooling. Au revoir. S.
The correspondent of The Daily News returns
his thanks to Mr. F. G. DeFontaine, of tbo Caro
linian, for bia kindness in furnishing him with a
oopy of the speeoh of the Hon. J. L. Omi before
the Convention.
State Items.
The editor of the Marion Star has taken a ride
into the country as far as Moody'? Mills, and has
returned home cheered by tho prospects of the
crop be saw on the way. The cotton, though
smaller* than uaual at this season of the year,
looks green and vigorous. Wherovor there was
an evidence of the amount of labor essential for
a successful crop, he thinks our farmers may look
for a fair yield, .but whoro the grass has not been
masterod, but little or nothing may be expeoted.
Ho dooe not hesitate to say that Mr. 0, B. Hahel
den has some corn as promising as he has ever
eeen on sandy soil. The cotton crops of Captain
Stanly, General Evans and Asa Godbold, Esq.,
givo evidence of a bandsomo yield of fruit-in
fact, he is informed that the ootton plant in this
section generally, though email, is remarkably
well ulled with squares. Mr. E. J. Mooox's crop,
to whioh he referred last wook, it is thought by
gentlemen competent to judge, will average 1500
pounds to the aore. On one stalk in his' field was
oountod 165 squares and bolls.
He also says that tbo Rev. J. B. Platt informs
him that he closed on the 22d inat., at Ebenezer
Church, on Oonwayboro circuit, a protracted
meeting whioh commenced on the 14th. There
were 89 acecaaiona; 65 baptized; 70 reoeived in full
connection, and quite a largo number of conver
sions.
The editor also makes a heavy complaint against
the Postmaster of Marion, Mr. 0. W. McMillan,
who refuses to receive or deliver bis papers.

nal Revenue for the Third Diatriot, tiov James Gt.

At Winnsboro' there was a Aro on Tuosday af

Tho Nowborry Herald of the 1st Bays that an
attempt wau rando last Saturday night, botweon
11 and 12 o'clock, to ure Capt. W. H. Webb's pre
mises, on Caldwell street, but owing to tho salu
tary effect of a copious Bhower of rain during the
early part of tho night, and tho timely assistance
of -ovoral neighbors, it was happily frustrated.
From the Anderson Appeal wo loam that on
laat Friday two horse thieves, a white man and
negro, wero committed to Jail for' tho too frequent
oiimo of horse stealiug. Tho evidonco or thoir
guilt was conclusive. They wore followed from
nearLoundesville, in Abbevillo District, into North
Carolina, to Cleveland count?., whero they were
overtaken and >ouud in possession of the stol.ui
animals. Wo beliove tho white man confesses to
his guilt.

The New Orlconn Riots.
riot at lofez's saloon bs a portion of the
radical mod.
> [From the N. O. Time* of the _9'A.)
As the Radical mob dispersed from their gather
ing and proceeded up Canal stroet, wo are sorry
to say that a retort came from a group of gentle
men who vere standing on the neutral ground
whero Burgundy street oroaseB into Baroune.
We aro pained to chronicle that fact, as such whito
mon who were leading the mob were beneath the
notice of men who bavo any respect for them
selves. A negro advanced out of the ranks of the
Eroc.BBion and oballenged one of the crowd to
ght. Tho negro was knocked down. A scene
enaued impossible to describe, Tho ranks of the
procession wero thinned in a moment of two or
three hundred men, who ruahed at the crowd of
white men, attaoking with sticks and stones. Two
of the white men ran to Lopez's saloon, ruahed
through and bid themselves in the back part of
one of tho upper stories. Tho crowd of negroes,
agged on by white men, crossed Canal street, and
in a boUomng mob ewarmod in front of Lopez's
saloon. Directed by the white men of the mass,
they seized a pile of flooring lumber across tho'
ditch before tho store adjaoent to Lopez's saloon,
and passing tho planks around, broke them into
sticks, with which about twenty of the crowd
found arma.
Loud cries, yells, hootings and.curses sprung
from tho negro mass, that every* moment grew
stronger.
The bar-tenders and waitera of the saloon gath
ered in foroe around the front doors and barri
oadod them from ti o approach of the negroes.
"Tear down the house."
"Sot it on fire."
"Kill the rebels."
"Rush in"-were some of the cries that arose
from the mass. When they found out that the
whito men bad escaped, the mob roformed in pro
Cfssion aud left. Daring the course of all this,
whiio men served as an index finger (o point out
what tho rioters should do.
was severely _i*_a?*_V'b?A_fcT-'-?_<i-_^In-?ie saloon
timos while running for refuge.
THE POLIOS.
The main operations of the police on Friday
night to Saturday mornine; were confined to the
prevention of disorder at the assembly of the
radio*, mob in and around the Mechanics' Insti
tute.
While the mob gathered in the locality, there
was little disturbance, the nos roes bein*- quiet and
orderly, putting to shame the incendiary efforts
of the set of Jacobina who harangued tho mob
with violent objurgations.
As the moTp broke np and formed into line of
procession, several disturbances occurred.
In the Beloon of Lopez, corner of Canal and
Dauphins streets, two nogroes were hurt by some
whito men. After they had invited a quarrel they
received ita result in a beating. No arrests were
made, on account of the confusion which ensued,
impossible to describe.
Dr. Dostio haranguod the prooossion at a late
hour from the steps of the City Hall. This man,
who calls himself the "Bobespierre of New Or
leans," advised the negroes, if molested by white
men, to kill them.
The conduot of onr citizens in this hour of their
severest trial was commendable and orderly. Not
one molestation was made at the meeting, the dis
turbances ooourring in the procession.
One of the drunken speakers, after Dostio had
come to a lull stop on the steps of the City Hall,
was pleased to throw his arms about the neok of
a large sized negro and say, "This is my brother."
Applause.
About 12 o'clock, after tbe procession had gone
up Camp-street, and as a party of nogroes wero
passing down Perdido-street, some remark was
made, which led the negros? to make an assault
on tho party making it.
The police interfered and the nogroes resisted
with pistols and paving stones.
Soma white soldiers assisted the police and suc
ceeded in capturing eight of the negroes, but not
until sixty or seventy shots bad been fired.
A negro was wounded and taken to station.
Whilo Officer White was attempting to quell the
disturbance, he was severely out in the left arm
by a colored man, name unknown.
The negroes were arrested at the riot and are
now in the Polioe Station.
The Coroner has been notified to hold an In
quost on tho body of a negro who dropped, down
dead at the meeting.
The ordinary casualties wbioh happened under
the jurisdiction of the police are as follows :
A boy by the name of Murphy, living on Wash
ington-street, was severely burned on Friday
whilo playing with gunpowder.
The house of Judge Hiestand, on Chippiwa
strout, botweon Jackson and Philip, narrowly
escaped burning by tho hand of some dastard in
cendiary, who sot ft on fire in three or fonr differ
ent places. Luckily there was no damage done.
Michael McDonald was taken to the hospital,
fonnd in a sick and destitute condition.
Another attempt at arson waa made, being an
effort to fire Hasting's Row, near Ma. asine Mar
ket. There was also no damage done in this par
ticular.
MYSTERIOUS RDU0RS.
There are strange rumors afloat; and the in
condiary langnage used by some of the speakers
at the negro BUffrago and Rumo Convention meet
ing in tho Mechanic?' In.titute, give oolor thereto
in a most unmistakable manuor.
It is wliisporod about the city that secret socie
ties havo been organized, "irrespective >.f color,"
consisting of pomona who are determined to or?ate
an armed rebellion against our legitimate and
constitutional State authorities, and to maintain
by violt-noe the revolutionary attempt of tbo vam
furo faction lod by R. King Cutler Furthermore,
t is rumored that this combination m-ken n?e of
secret signs and pass-words, and that Mayor Mon
roe and Judge Abell have been doomed. Wo trait
that these rumors will prove to be exaggerations,
yet it behooves the authorities, both olvll and
militai y, to be upon their guard. We hsvo had
enough of robollion; let no more of it be coun
tenanced.
The laws must be enforcod; the State most pre
serva bor dignity, her loyalty and her indepen
dence as a rnombor qt the Union. W? are certain
that even tho disoreet among the Radicals must

tho negroes to arm tliernselvoi- and kill without

with tho Convt'ution. Such .iiii'iiil'ary Unguago

Tho following timely article wo clip from the
N. Y. Daily News.
What should bo the great end and aim of this
Convention ? What i- the uo'lest object to which
it could devote ita labora ? Tho onlv true roply is
-To cement together, with all p.iBh'ible harmony,
all the States iti uuion undor tbo Federal Constitu
tion. Who are the par tica must likely to consum
mate this ill-sired end ?
Aro they not, at the South, delofaatoa who would
represent truly tho great wasa of the South, eo as
to insure the representation of the real and gene
ral eentiment? Nothing ia moro clear than that
the people of tho South always considered the
Federal Constitution aa tho beat rule of govern
ment o.*er devised, and the subject of slavery
being now excluded, tho ground of contest bad
been removed, and tho moat violent during the
war believe that a sacred adherence to the Con
atitution ia the best guarantee >or the general
wolfaro, and of course there can bo no fitter rep
resentatives.
Tho "Poaco men" at the North-those who
urged peaceful measures, whi-jh would certainly
have restored tho Union in closer bonds-ana
who opposed coercion sa inconsistent with repub
lican principio?, repudiated by the Constitution,
und which could be resorted to only by the erec
tion of a doapotism over the North, to accomplish
(by tho sacrifice of liberty, of millions of lives,
and thousands of millions of dol?ais, by untold
suffering, d?vastation, and demoralization) that
which could peacefully bo done without any sacri
fice or danger to the Conetitntion. Surely these
people wonld be aafo dolegatea to a convention
honestly intending to restore and to uphold the
Constitution in all ita integrity.
The crimo of the poace men waa what no honest
and candid mind can doubt waa practicable, to re
unite the States by peaceful adjustment in a man
ner immensely to strengthen tbe bonds of union,
and knowing this to be practicable, to oppose
coercion as a pandora's box. Now that, to aome
extent, we can count the coat of coercion, is thora
not tho beBt reason for ropentanco that the peace
ful and bealing policy waa not adopted!? There
oan bo no holier or botter men in tho Convention
than "peace" delegates.
A "graphio" New York reporter, who is ohasing
Mr. Georgo Peabody over Ctnada, saya that that
gentleman has gone to the Saguonay River pro
vided with "all tho necessary articles wherewith
to vex the lively and resistant salmon from bis
chosen and aqueous home."
