!. CHARLESTON, s.. c., November 26.-
The impression is almost universal here,
that owing to q lack of the requisite
majority Of the registered voters, the
Convention will be defeated in South
Carolina, as $1,000 votes are required to
ensure the Convention, and only rs, 900
persons are known to have voted, in
twenty districts out Of the thirty in the
State.
MONTGOMERY, November 90. An
article was reported by the Committee
on Education to-day, providing for the
establishment throughout the State, In
each township or school district, one or
more schools, at which all children of
The State between eight and twenty
years OF age may attend, free of charge.
A motion to amend by providing
separate schools Tor the white and negro
children, was tabled yeas, As, nays, q;
but on a final vote this section was
adopted by a vote Of yeas, 81, nays, IS.
Il is highly probable that the PROPOSE
ton to organize a Provisional Civil State
government, ia place Of the present one,
will be quashed 10 the Committee.
