CHARLESTON, Dec. 28.-The Convention
met at II clock. Mr.. Rhett spoke on the
report Of the committee who had under con-
sideration the address to the people of the
Southern States, and also on the ordinance
for the formation of a Southern Confeder-
acy.
He said the object was to insure a speedy
organization for a permanent protection of
our rights. Texas and Arkansas were at
last acting in favor of the proposition. He
advocated the election of double the number
of Representatives to the General Conven-
tion as were in the present Congress, and
was in favor of the adoption of articles of
Confederation for a provisional Govern
ment
In the secret session Yesterday, Memmin-
ger, to whom had been referred the reso-
luton of the convention, on citizenship, re-
ported ordinance that every person re-
siding in South Carolina at the time of its
secession from the United States whether a
born resident or n naturalzed citizen, shall
continue until death citizen of South Car
olina unless a foreign residence shall be
established, or notice of intent shall be Civ
en- of expatriation. Also that all free
white born citizens within the territory of
this State, or those born outside the terri
tory whose father was there citizen, shall
be deemed citizens.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 29.-The Convention
assembled this morning. The proceedings
were opened with prayer.
The President read communication from
w. I. Colcock collector of the Port of
Charleston, informing the Convention that
all the officers of the customs had entered
the service of the State, and that he had
commenced receiving duties, and transact
ing other business.
Mr.. Duncan said there was an act of Con-
gress in relation to the payments in specie
for duties. The legislature has recently
permitted the Banks of the State to suspend
specie payment Specie is now per cent.
premium, and it is unfair to ask payment of
duties in specie when taxes are payable in
bank notes. Mr.. Duncan offered a resolu-

Anti-secession In Missouri

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec 3O-A special dis.
patch to the Republican, from Jefferson
City, states that Mr.. Cooper, Commissioner
from Alabama, made a strong secession
speech last night in the hall of the House
of Representatives. He did not believe, in
industrial or commercial point of view,
the Southern States would be the losers
in case of a disruption of the Government.
He said the South did not design to reopen
the African Slave Trade His remarks
were occasionally applauded.
A meeting was then held in the Senate
Chamber to consider the suggestions of Mr.
Cooper.
On motion of Mr.. Parsons, late Breckin-
ridge candidate for Lieut.. Governor, Mr..
Johnson, late Senator from Dent county,
took the chair.
Mr.. Parsons further moved that Colonel
Ballou of Benton be Secretary. Col Bal
lou declined He could not approve of any
measure tending to secession. He would
stay in the Union until he was forced out
of it. There was hope that matters might
yet be amicably adjusted.
A resolution was adopted stating that
during the coming session the Legislature
would express opinions officially upon
questions now distracting the Union, and
to furnish the Governor of Alabama a COPY
of the resolutions the General Assembly
may adopt on the subject. The General
Assembly meets tomorrow.
Maj. Harris, Gen. Price, and Col. Ballou
are most prominent as candidates for
Speaker, but it is considered doubtful
whether either can be elected.
The Republican urges that no secessionist
should be elected Speaker, but urges the
passage of an act at an early day in the ses-
sion, calling for a convention of commits
sioners from Slave States at Baltimore, to
state explicitly their grievances, and the ag-
gressions of the North.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--Another state
ment in regard to the South Carolina Com
missioners which seems to be truthful is
that the commissioners, in view of the AL
legged stipulation on the part of the Presi-
dent, that the garrisons of Charleston har-
Dor shall not be augmented, nor the mill
tary status of the posts changed, requested
the President to Inform them whether Maj
Anderson's movements were in consequence
of any order issued by him at the War De-
partment.
The President responded negatively and
added that Major Anderson acted on his
own responsibility. The Commissioners
then requested the President to remand
Major Anderson TO Fort Moultrie, but on
this point there was no conclusion when
the Cabinet adjourned
The above statement was obtained from
source believed to be reliable, but there is
no means of verifying its absolute credi-
bility. The Cabinet continued in session
nearly six hours, and it is certain that it
adjourned till to morrow without coming
to a conclusion on the affairs of South Car
olina befole them. The action of Major
Anderson is generally commended, for
amoug other reasons that while Fort
Moutrie was comparatively weak and
might prevail against the assaults of n mob,
the impregnable defenses of Fort Sumpter
placed it beyond such contingencies, as it
could be reduced only by a regular and pro-
tracted seige, thus avoiding an immediate
collision.
The Senate select committee of thirteen
had before them to day Mr. Douglass prop
osition as presented to that body on the oath
December. also one by Mr.. Bigler, viz. the
establishment by the constitution of the
line 36o so, eight territorial Governments to
be established North and four South of that
line, the geographical area being greater
in the former than in the latter. When
each territory has population sufficient for
one representative in Congress it is TO be
admitted as State by proclamation of the
President, thas. removing the question from
Congress. Slavery is To be interdicted North
and tOleFated South of that line. The
Committee also considered the proposition
of Mr-.I2iee, the establishing of similar
line 10 admit all the territories North of this
line as one State to be called Washington,
and all territory South of this line as one
State TO be called Jefferson and admitted
with slavery. All these were rejected. The
Committee finding they cannot agree on any
recommendation will report to the Senate
at an early day.
The House committee considered the pro-
position of Mr.. Adams of Mass, an amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting Con-
gress from interfering with slavery in the
States where it now exists. 1t was agreed
to by nearly an unanimous vote. The sew
eral dissentients considering that the Con-
stitutiOn already gives that security

WAsHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has refused to accept any of
the bids for the 81, 100000 loan which de-
manded more than II per cent. interest.
Thus, less than So, 1000 900 are accepted
an amount about sufficient, it is said, to pay
the interest on the public debt due Janu-
ary lst.
As it was never stipulated or agreed by
the President that the troops should be with
drawn from the forts around Charleston har-
bOr, the Administration does not consider
that it is under any obligation to do so. As
to the request of the South Carolina COM
missioners for the restoration of the mili-
tary status-this is considered by the larger
portion Of the Cabinet impossible.
Secretaries Floyd, Thompson, and Thom-
as, who hold the constitutional right of Sc
cession, were separated on the question from
their Cabinet associates. There was no pos
tive decision at the meeting yesterday, al
though tie prospect is certainly not favor
able for the commissioners. This statement
is strengthened by the fact that yesterday
Secretary Floyd resigned his office. Il is
said thai Secretary Thompson would also
have resigned, were it not for the nves-
tigation pending concerning the affairs
of the Interior Department in connection
with the abstraction of the Indian trust
bonds, an investigation of which he asked
for the vindication of his own honor and
integrity.
The report prevails that Secretary
Thomas has resigned, but this results from
his indecisiOn az to whether he shall re-
main in the Cabinet, and his generally be-
lieved earnest sympathy with Secretary
Floyd.

ton that the collector of the State Revenue
receive the payment Of duties in any bills
of any bank in the State.
Mr.. Mazyk said, if necessary, the banks
can increase their circulation and embar-
rassment will then be impossible.
The motion in reference to commercial
relations was then lost.
The President read a communication
from the Governor, through 7. Watts, in re-
lation to Charleston Harbor.
The Convention then went into secret
session.
1t is understood the military bill is un-
der consideration.
CHARLEsToS, Dec. 29.-Iu fhe Convention
this morning the ordinance authorizing the
reception of bills of ther Bank of the State
by the collectors and none below the par
value of South Carolina, was adopted.
The Convention then adjourned till ten
o'clock Sunday morning.
The committee on Constitution have pre-
pared an ordinance concerning the powers
lately vested in Congress, transferring them
to the General Assembly, except during the
existence of the Convention. These powers
are NOT to extend without the direction of
the Convention to duties on imports, post
office, declaration of war, treaties, confede-
raey, &c.
The ordinance concerning the judicial
powers of the United States courts revests
those powers in the courts of South Carolina
as the General Assembly may direct The
Charleston city court is to have jurisdiction
in admiralty and maritime cases and also
in cases of appeal, when the amount exceeds
81, 900. In cases affecting the public
ministers, the powers are continued the
same as in the Uuited States courts. The
General Assembly is to appoint the judicial
officers. The act of Congress to provide
more efectually for the punishment of GER
tain crimes, approved March, 1925, is substi-
tuted by the State for all offenses which are
subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of
the State.
The Convention will take the subject of
treason under consideration.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-About as Border
State Congressman met in caucus tonight.
Senator Crittenden presided, anu HColfaI
and Barrett were Secretaries
The following propositions were Of
sered by Mr.. Barrett: Eleven amend ments
to the Constitution on the slavery ques-
tion.
By Pryor, that any attempt TO preserve
the Union between the States of the Con-
federacy by force would be equally uncoA-
stitutional, inpolitic and destructive of Re-
publican liberty.
By Mr.. Valandingham, the Crittenden
resolution. By Mr. Colfax, that the laws
of the Union should be enforced and the
Union of the States be maintained and that
it is the duty OF the Executive to protect the
property of the G'oited States with all the
power placed in hands by the constitu-
ton. By Mr.. Morris of Ils that in matur-
ing any plan for the adjustment of existing
difficulties, we will keep stea lilly in view
the preservation of the Union under the Con-
stitution as paramount consideration.
After desultory debate, in which Cox of
Ohio, Pryor of Va, Smith of Va, Clemens
Sherman, Stanton, Colfax, NcelI Hickman,
Montgomery, McClernaud, and Davis of Md,
participated, the pending propositions were,
on motion ofthe latter gentlemen referred TO
the committee of one from each of the four
teen States represented, to report at a future
meeting to be called by them if they agreed.
Mr.. Holt the Postmaster General sent or
ders to the sub-treasury at Charleston to
remit all the balance, $35, 900, on Post Of
fee account in possession Immediately, to
the credit of that department. If this order
is not complied with at once, he will de-
mand of the Federal Government to enforce

New YORK, Dec 3O.--The Heralds Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs the follow
ing: .r
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80
The Cabinet has Just adjourned. after n
protracted session of six hours. Affairs at
Charleston were the subject under consider
alton. Secretary Floyd stated to the Presi-
dent in writing that unless Major Anderson
was Withdrawn from Fort Sumpter he could
not remain in the Cabinet. Secretaries
Thompson ard Thomas were understood to
entertain the same views, but the events to-
day changed their minds somewhat. The
President determined, after full deliberaton,
not to withdraw Maj. Anderson. Secretary
FIoyd's resignation was, therefore, accepted.
Among the persons mentioned as Mr.
Floyd's successor is Benjamin F. Butler of
Massachusetts, who has been in conf lential
consultation with the President for several
days. A serious division exists in the CABS
met. and a breakup at almost any hour may
be anticipated.
Recent and highly important intelligence
from the South received by the Government
may precipitate the event.
Tie Secretary of the Treasury has just
received a dispatch from Charleston, stating
that the revenue-cutter in the port of
Charleston has been seized by the author
tiles, and that the captain, who is a native
of Charleston, has resigned. This intelli-
gence was Immediately communicated to the
Cabinet.
The Navy department at 2 P. NJ. received
dispatch from James P. Foster, command
ing the SLAYER Bonita, which was carried into
Charleston, stating that his prisoner, the
captain Of the SLAYER, had been taken be-
fore a State Judge by a writ of habeas cor
pus that the Judge remanded the prisoner
to his custody on the ground that he had
no jurisdiction and that on his way to the
Bonita with his prisoner he had been
taken from his custody by a mob.

OPEN HoUsE.-To-morrow will be New
Years day. 1t is the custom on the annual
recurrence of this day for the ladies to
keep open house, for the entertainment of
their friends. Last year those who were
at home to callers designated the fact
by hanging on their door knobs or knockers
colored ribbon. The custom .is delight
full and popular one, and we presume it will
be observed this year. It ought by all
means to be kept up, as it is prOmo;ive Of
sociabiity and friendship. Let the day be
set aside for the renewal Of auld acquaint-
auce," and the perpetuation of the ties Of
friendship and good feeling.
