The Sonth Carolina State Convention,
Hon. J. L. ORR presiding, terminated its
session at Columbia. on the Eth inst.
The conservative element in the Conyen-
ton was quite strong, and very little fire
eating took place. The Alabama re~olu-
lions were rejected. as were Others dcnun-
ciatory of any particular candidate, or
expressing extreme sentiments. and the
resolutions finally, adopted. although dis
approving popular sovereignty in the Ter
ritories, are moderate, digniGed, and &C

A Coon REsoLUTIoN.-Dear me, why
don't some handsome beau propose at
once to wed! For this I've waited night
and day thro' weary years long fed. The
crows feet angle round my eyes. the hue
fades from my cheek, I'm leaving youths

men speak There was time when !
could draw a gazing circle round, when
life was but a dream Of love, and suitors
did abound. But, woe is me that day Is

cast, the jig is up-I am almost twenty
four. In vain | spread my crinolne to
show my foot so neat, that loot which
once could draw the eyes Of all who pass
ed the street in vain / paint my pallid
check, and wreathe my face in smiles;
it's all for naught, for well see the young
sters know these wiles. Youth all thy
beauty once ! had, but that brief dream
has fed; on pleasures wings / once ca
reered, but they are long since shed. |

WOMEN MOnE SECKET THAN WE SUPPOSE.
All the Year Round promulges a new doc
trine on this subject: ave laugh at wo-
mans tongue, and wonder when wo-
man keeps asecret; but every true woman
keeps a Lox ofchoice preserves for her own
indulgence. The mans mysteries are not
hers IL he cannot keep them himself, let
him expect them to be blown abroad
Her own secrets Of love, Of loss, Of self
denial, Of unexpected suffering. nowoman
exposes altogether. even TO her dearest
friend. There never lived a husband hap
by in the true love Of his wife, who fairly
knew all the depths Of her mind about
him. Every man profits stupidity by tho
wise little perceptions that arise 30 quiet
" and have no utterance except in deeds,
Of which We vaguely aseribe the fitness
to a special faculty called woman TACT
Women, in short, Keep 10 themselves four
hfths Of the secrets Of society, and do it
with a winning air Of frankness all their
own.
A man with a secret will be stony, or
portentOus, or provokingly suggestive I;
he viii keep his mouth shut ostentatiously
A woman istOo absolutely secret 10 set up
a public sign over whatever may lie buried
in her mind. She gossips, prattles, pours
out what the does not care TO hold, with
such an air Of unreserved simplicity that
all mankind is mystiied, and says, in
friendly i9t, a woman only hides what
she don't know" Among the uneduca-
ted poor. lhis difference between the wo-
man and the man is most conspicuous.-
/ The innae powers Of the sex place her at

/ only reach By education. She must needs
often be lied 10 one in whom there is not
the grain OF understanding requisite TO

ENoRNoUs ENGIIsH DEFALCATIoN.-The
singular case Of the Carron Iron Compa-
ny Of London versus their late General
Manager, Henry Stanton, Is again before
the English Courts. Il appears from the
year ISIS down to the time Of his decease
in ISL, Henry Stanton had rendered ac-
counts Of his receipts and payments to
the company as their agent, which were
not questioned during his lifetime; but
after his decease they were called in ques-
ton, and imputatiOns were then made
that from the year ISIS, when a res9lu-
ton was passed reducing Henry Stainton'~
salary a. agent very considerably, he had
taken means TO recpuerate himself 10y
Interpretations Of the company's mon
ey; and a decree was made under which
the accounts Of the deceased were made
subject to severe investigation. In regard
to the developements that followed, we
quote from the London Times:
During the course ofthese proceedings
| il appears that attempts were made to
bring the matter to an amicable adjust
ment, and ultimately a compromise of the
suit was arrived at, under which the Car
ron Company received the large sum of
one million one hundred thousand dollars
| from his estate-ior it was supposed that
this long litigation was set at rest. hut at
the close of the last year the defendants
again took proceedings in the Session
| Court of Scotland against Mr.. Stanton ;
representatives for the principal sum of
E33,Og2 alleged to have been appropriated
by Henry Stanton between the years
lsOS and lS22, being period antecedent
to the time in respect Of which the ac-
counts were taken under the order Of the
Court. The interest claimed upon this
principal -,m amounts TO no less sum
than E54,653, Us. Sd. making the pres
ent claim Of the defendants against Stain.
tons estate amount 20 more than ElOO.-
OOO beyond that which 1t has already paid
The Stanton heirs oppose this claim on
the ground that the matter was settled by
the previous payment. No decision has
vet been given. 1t thus appears beyond
dispute that dcialCation was carried on
without discovery for a period Of thirty.
three years.
