SOUTH CARoLINA.-The Charleston Mercury
has the following, in reference to the late election
for the South Carolina State Convention:
The Convention consists of 1877 members
equal to both Houses of the Legislature Ofthese
We think we are quite safe in saying 1877 are, dis
finctly and unalterably, for secession and with
drawal of the State of South Carolina alone from
the Union; or, in other words, they are men who
as an old friend from the country said to us yes-
terday-"have made up therminds that the Federal
Government is a cursed bad bargain, which it is
high time to get rid Of" These men 90 for Sc
cession by the State alone, because there can be
no other secession than by the States as ndvid-
ual sovereignties, and because the withdrawal
from the Union will thus, in every stage the act
be under the sanction of the supreme authority
and give to secession the same basis and support
of the sovereign will expressed in the same form
as the act by which South Carolina entered the
Union. A minority of the Convention, consisting
Of we think, less than forty, are opposed to the
speedy action of the State by herself. But we
are certain there are not ten members who will
not unhesitatingly affirm both of he following pro-
postions;--l. That the State, as one of con-
tederacy of sovereigns, has the clear right to
secede; and, that the action and position of the
Federal Government afford ample justification for
the exercise of that right.

THE McDoNoGH BEQUEsT.-The decision Of
Judge Buchanan in the case of the State of Lou.
isiana vs.. The heirs of John McDonogh, takes
the ground that though some of the directions OF
the testator may be illegal and imperative, that
this does not annu or prevent the two cities of Bal
tlmore and New Orleans from receiving the be-
quest. That although the tesator contem plated
that the estate should remain eternay in the Joint
possession OF the two cities, without partition,
which is contrary to the laws of Louisiana, that
it only affects the will so far as to cut off the an
nuIties to the Colonization Society, Orphars' Asy-
lum, &C., at the end of five years, when the SEN
ara'ion must take place. His decision on this
point is as follows:
And accordingly decide that the teque.t Of the
annuss In question is legal and binding ior so long
time az the 1--WE ctles shall remain JOINT owners of The
estate ofJohn McDonogh, and longer; and that no
partition can take place between them until five wears
shall have elapsed from The opening OF his succession
The case will be carried to the Supreme Cont.
and if the decision is sustained it will put an end
10 all the interminabe litigation, and secure the
nights Of New Orleans and Baltimore under the
will
The Delta says that the case will certainly be
appealed to the Supreme Court.-BaA. Sun.

"THE SOUTHERN PRESS >,

Speaking OF this Journal, the Baltimore CliDper
says:
in short, we look upon the Southern Press as
tre brand thrown INTO the South to devastate her
iair heids' and to kindle strife and bloodshed."
We beg The Clipper not to be the least uneasy q.
10 the effect of The course of the Southern PFC
upon the welfare and happiness of the South. If
is true that the Southern Press had its origin in
the desires of certain incendiaries who wished To
kindle the fame ofcivil commoon, but, as unfor-
tunately for them as luckily for the country, the
editor whom they placed in charge of it has only
succeeded in making himself and his cause sL
premely ridiculous. If we have a paper among
our exchanges which more than any other abound-
with bold assertions and lame and impotent concu
slons, it IS this Southern Press. So far from
kindng the flame Of civil war, there is not fire
enough in tie Southern Press to light cigar"

DOUBTFUL CITGzENsHIp.-The present Demo-
cratic nominee for the office of Governor of Rhode
Island has sgniied his intention to spend the next
season in Europe. In that event. provided the ticket
is elected, his. official functions will devove upon
Mr.. Lawrence, who is nominated for Lieuten-
ant Governor This gentleman is said to be
only nominally citizen of the State-his fam
lily, business, associations and actual residence
being in n York, and his name is not upon airy
voting list in Rhode Island. Spending his sum-
mers at Newport as matter of pleasure, appears
to be the only circumstance on which his claim
to be regarded as an inhabitant of the State
rests. The providence Journal, therefore, in.
quires whehera citizen of New York can be
Governor of Rhode Island.

: ~ aNJ lliON,
OF South Carolina.

DR.. Charles H. Lee and Professors Flint and
Coventry, of Rochester, N. Y, have succeeded
in detecting the mode in which the famous impo.
sition, known as the Rochester knockings or rap
pings, has so long been successfully practised.
They have found Il Mrs. P. who is able to produce
similar sounds to those made by Mrs. Fish and
Miss Fox, the regular rappers and it appears that
they are caused by peculiar motion of the thigh
bone (tbia) at the knee joint, impaired by muscu-
lar action. DIR. Lee, in letter to the N Y. Tri-
bune, says;
The partial dsocation consists in the movement of the
tibia outward partly occasoued, believe by pressure
on The loot there being relaxation of the igamens
about the knee joint; but chiefly by the action of the
muscles oil the leg below the knee. At least this the
fact with regard Mrs r. for by placing the hand on
the side OF the joint the bone can be felt at the instant
the loud double rap is heard, slipping literally and
as suddenly slipping back again. although, by effort
OF the will II cal be made to glide back noiselessly
SO that only one rap Is heard But this can be repeat
ed in pretty rapid succession for long time although
il requires evidently considerable practice to attain great
skill in this new and hitherto mysterious art"
DR.. Lee and other gentlemen being invited by
Mrs. Fish and Miss Fox, attended at their rooms,
and put the rappings to severe test. They put
the feet of the supernatural ladies on cushions and
not rap was heard, tho ugh whenever their heels
were allowed to touch the floor, the communica-
| ton with the spiritual world was readily carried
on Another trial was made by grasping firmly
the ladies knees, when the raps Immediately
ceased On releasing his hold Dr. Lee distinct

MIR. GLIDDON,S COURSE.

The lovers Of antiquity, and all who value
important information concerning the progress
of our race, may anticipate a rich grafica
ton in Mr.. Gibbons course of six lectures COM
mencng neat Tuesday ere,aing. Egyptology has,
for long period, been one of the most interesting
branches of human research; but il has recently
derived additional importance from the expora-
tons and discoveries of the Prussian Scientific
Mission under Lepsius, and the labours of other
European Archaologists. Mr. Giddon enioysthe
high advantage of being able to present the re-
suits of these late investigations, in advance of
their publication i'll Europe. During his late re-
sidence of two years abroad the materials collect
ed by Lepsus and other Egyptian Swans were
kindly submitted to his inspection, and he has re-
turned to America his active mind charged with
new facts concerning the ancient people of the
wonderful country of the Nile.
We are glad to learn that the list of subscri-
bers to Mr.. Gddon's lectures is already large and
includes many of the gentlemen who are now in
our city engaged in the performance of public
duties.

DISHONESTY PROPERLY PUNIsHED-A{ couple of
slaves brought The city Friday last cart loads Of
oats-one weighing $50 and the other 4S0 lbs. Both
procured tickets attesting the weight of their respective
loads, from Mr. Diddep, Clerk OF the Old Market
The man having charge OF the load weighing $50
pounds, sold it, and then transferred his ticket
to the man having only 480 lbs. in his cart He
thereupon sold his load citizen, for $50 lbs,
but the citizen being of opinion that the weight was
deficient, caused the load to be reweighed, where
upon the fraud was detected and upon complaint
being made to officer Wkeison both the slaves were
promptly arrested and put in the cage They were
brought before the Mayor Saturday, where the facts
above stated were elected, together with the farther
one, tn at the slave who sold the smaller load likewise
had in his cart about so lbs. of old iron, which he
transferred as 10 perpetfae fraud upon those who
purchase provepder brought to the city in his cart
The of this fellow is Jacob and he and his col
league were both ordered to be promptly punished
Frauds OF the character above described are we
have reason to believe, practised upon our citizens
daily A citizen informed few days since of a
case in point. He had contracted for the delivery of
several loads OF shucks, stipulated price per cwt
on the delivery OF one or two loads, he thought the
weight unusually heavy for the bulk and upon exami-
nation, found stone weighing some sixteen pounds,
snugly slowed away in of the loads. Now it is
sumsed that this constituted on of several stones
placed in the cart by the driver before the load was
weighed, the others being thrown out after procuring
