. In front of large attic house in tho county
OF 1880, stretches green lawn, intcrspcrsed
here and there with wild flowers of almost
every hue. From the opposite parallel of this
quadrilateral strip of land rises an inclined
plane, whose highest point reaches to the dis
tanec of nearly n mile from Woodland Heights,
the homo of Mary Adir. On the left lies a
Emcadow of about twenty acres, in which are
grazing various animals of domestic kind.

arc singing their usual melodies before the

THE CoNvENT1oN--.How SHALL WE VOTE 3


To prevent any Misrepresentation of the position
assumed by US last week, we recur to this subject
again, in order to show clearly the requirements
of the Reconstruction measures in relation to the
maicrities necessary to authorize the holding of
State Convention.
There are two great errors, into one or both of
which many have fallen. First, that the.Supple-
mental Bill requires majority of the registered
votes t. be cast in favor of Convention. Thisi
not the case. The requirements of the law arc
that majority of the registered votes shall be
cast on the question of holding Conuenton-cither
for or against We will lustrate-this point by re-
ference to the registration returns. 1t is stated
that the total number registered in South Carolina
is estimated to be $4,000, of which 45,Ooo are
whites and $4,000 are blacks. The law requires
that majority of these registered voters shall cast
their ballots either for or against Convention
in the Language of the act itself, 'upon the ques-
tion of holding Convention" majority OF one
hundred and twenty-five thousand would be sixty
two thousand FIVE hundred and one.
Now, if S1,25I votes be cast for Convention,
and 81, $50 votes be cast against Convention, un-
der the terms of the act, the Convention will be
held. Thus we perceive that few votes over one
fourth Of the whole number registered can call
Convention, provided one-fourth of the registered
voters shall cast their ballots for or against it,
making, when both those for and against are
added together majority of the registeredvoters.
This simple illustration will show that every
voter casting his ballot ''against Convention
only increases the majority requisite to convene
that body. As it is impossible to defeat the Con-
vention by voting against it, every ballot thus cast
will assist The Radicals in securing its conyocaton.
And if those who oppose the Convention refuse TO
make any endorsement upon their ballots, either
for or against Convention, the Radicals will have
to poll 62,501 votes, or a majority of the whole
number registered, in order to secure the call Of
of that body.
We do not believe it probable that this majority
win not be secured out of the $4,000 negro voters,
but the only possible chance to defeat the Conven
ton is in the manner here proposed.
The other error IS which VIC have reference is
that the Convention order requires all voters to
decide upon this question, for or against. Such
On order would be in eontravention of the law, and
could not be issued. The first section of General
CAsBr's order declares that ''all registered voters
may vote For Convention or against Conven-
tion.' and for delegates to constitute the Conven-
ton" This is in exact accordance With the law,
and leaves the voter untrammeled in his choice
!: In conclusion, we would again earnestly urge
upon the opponents of reconstruction to refrain
from voting upon this question, and leave its de-
cision to the newly enfranchised voters and their
Radical confreres.

BROWNLOW.

Tie telegraph announces that this old rcprobate
has been elected United States Senator by twenty
majority. The Louisville Courier, previous 10 the
election, gets off the following:-
"Brownlow, in message to the Tennessee Leg
islaturc announces himself candidate for the
United States Senate. He says that his health,
though far from being good. is yet firmer than it
was year ago, and he hopes that by the time he
will have to take his seat (laG9) he will have re-
cuperatcl sufficiently 10 be able to discharge all
the duties appertaining 10 the Office.
sin the meantime, he will discharge the duties
of Governor of Tennessee until the time arrives
for him to take his seat in the United States Sen
ate. What n greedy old cormorant lie is, to be
sure. Drownlow, Thad Stevens, and Ben. Wade.
If the country survives this trio, We hope to hear
no more about the instability of republican gov
prnments"

In passing from thence to Granite Row, wew1h
necessarily discover the convenient Gland slide,
erected by our worthy Town Marshal, and which
is really of the greatest service to pedestrians.
Entering the first door, we are sure to meet with a
kind reception. The firm is under the name and
style of SULLIVAN, MATTIsoN & Co., and contains
another pair of brothers, full of frolic and well
versed in business affairs The SULLIvANs have
been long known in the mercantile lire, and their
reputation is beyond reproach. Their stock is
fresh, ample and varied. and the propensity to sell
cheap is one of their characteristics.
We are now nearing the point of separation, as
the printers devil is after us for 'more copy"
But we must drop in here to see NJ. LESSER. one
of the oldest merchants in town, and one OF the
shrewdest buyers within our knowledge. He has
always an extensive stock, and sells remarkably
low "If you don't see what you want, call for it. !"
LESS En has the article piled away somewhere, and
will produce it instantly. A peculiar feature in
this establishment is, that the "old man" replen-
ishes his stock repeatedly during the season, and
always conforms to the latest decline in prices.
