A Leap-Year Story.

Years day IN dlshahille. dis beard
was unshaven, his hair uncombed. his
long boots were unblacked, and he
was leaning back, in a picturesque at.
tituee, with his heels against the
mantle-piece, smoking a cigar. Sam
thought to himself that if it was leap
year how glorious it would be if the
ladies would pop the question in ac-
cordance with this ancient privilege.
As he sat watching the smoke which
so gracefully curled, his fancy glowed
with the idea how delightful it would
be to.haye the dear creatures fondlilg
on him; and with their tender glances
endeavorng TO do the agreeable.
As he meditated, his heart soltened,
and he began to feel II squemish, wo-
manish sensibility dffuse over his
feelings, and he thought he would
faint with propriety the first time a
lady should squeeze his hand.
Rap, rap, rap, sounded at the door.
Sam peeped through the Venitian
blinds.
Mercy" exclaimed he, ''ii there
isn't Miss Jones, and | all dishabllle,
and looking like tright--good gra-
cious ii must 60 right away and fix
myself"
As he left the room, Miss Jones en-,
tered, and with composed air, init,
mated that she would wait. Miss
Jones was a firm believer in woman's
rights, and now that the season was
propitious, she determined to take ad
vantage thereof, and do a little court
| ing on her own hook. 1t was one o
woman's privileges which had beer
usurped by the tyrant man, and Sh,
determined to assert her rights in spitC
OF the hollow formalities of the false
system Of society,
Dearest, how beautiful you look,
accompanying her words with a lool
Of undsguised admiration.

Sam; think ofmy youth and iEexpe

that newspapers will persist in calling

SEVENTH DAY.

CHARLESTON, April 3O.-The Convcn-
ton met at 20 o'clock this morning, and
the proceedings were opened with prayer.
Mr. Cushing, the President, apologized
for the harsh language he used during the
disorderly proceedings on Saturday eve
ming However, he had considered it his
duty to speak plainly and positively.
The President announced the first bust
ness in order to be u vote on the main
question, which was the substitute offered
by Mr.. Butler, on behalf of Massachusetts
Minnesota, Indiana and New Jersey, moi
Wia0is,) presenting the Cincinnati plat
from, pure and simple, with the resolution
for the protection Of citizens of foreign
birth.
The vote being taken on the Butler
platform, it was rejected by nearly a two
third vote-yeas lO5, nays 1913.
When New Jersey was called, dele
gate stated that the Convention appointing
the delegates from that State recommen,
ded them to vote as a unit.
The President decided that the word
" recommended" was equivalent to an in
struction, aud the decision of the Chair
was appealed from.

was lost; yeas l50-nays l46,

SIXTH DAY,

CHARLESTON, April % The National
Democratic Convention rc-assembled at 0
. clock, this morning at the Institute.
Mr.. Moffatt, of Virginia, and Josiah
Randall, of Pennsylvania, both claimed the
floor.
1t was finally given to Mr., Biglor, of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Bigler proceeded to address the
Convention in favor of reconciling the diff
ferences which exist, and producing union
and harmony and preserving the integrity
of the Democratic party.
He was interrupted by Mr.. Bishop, of
Connecticut, who claimed the floor, on the
ground that he had moved the previous
question, at the time of adjournment last
night.
The Chair decided that the motion for
the previous question, last night, was not
seconded, and, therefore, Mr., Bigler was
entitled to the floor
Mr., Bigler then introduced the Bayard
resolutions, hoping that they might be the
means of Qonciliatiop. He moved, as a

The Platform.

1t will be seen by reference to the
ceedings of the Democratic Convention
Charleston, published elsewhere, that
minority or" "Squattcr Sovereignty" Jud
Douglas platform was adopted by the c,
vcntion, on Monday last. Immcd,at
upon the announcement of the vote, A
bama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Flor.
Texas, Arkansas, and Il portion of De
ware withdrew from the Convention.
AT this present writing we have no v:
as to the subsequent proceedings, and ",
out reference to what they may be,
shall here give the two resolutions, C
tanning the gist Of the dispute, as it stan:
and referring to the proceedings for S
other information required.
The following is the minority resolut
on the Territorial question, as adopted
the Convention:
ReSoivecl, That the Democratic pa
will abide by the decision OF the Supre
Court of the United States over the inst
ton of slavery within the Territories.
1t is enough to say of this resolut
that it seems to us not to affirm any pi
ciple, and to be indefinite in its doctrine
While the Supreme Court, as at pre-.
constituted, would doubtless decide
question constitutionally, that may not
ways be the case. We see every
Judges and Legislators overriding and !
regarding the Constitution. A decis
made, is one thing, but a decision 70
made, is quite another; and this difica
is increased by the fact, that the triDT
by which the decision is to be made, I
be entirely changed in its personnel,
in its opinions We believe the Dcmoc
ic party of Pennsylvania does not choo:
endorse in advance, tho decisions of a
prcme Court, which Mr.. Seward prop
to remodel, so that he and the Rcpubl
party can controll it, and which will d
become, instead of honored expounder

We are glad to observe that majr
OF the Pennsylvania Delegation voted
the following resolution, which is in
platform adopted by majority of the c.
mlttee. 1t seems to US to contain SOL
principle, expressed in clear, explicit
definite terms and it is the doctrine VII

and defended.

provisional and temporary, and durin.

have an equal right to settle with t.

rights, either of person or property, be
