In seven out Of the thirty-one districts in
South Carolina which were said to have given
ten thousand majority for the bogus consntu-
tien, the Democratic gain at the late county
elections foots up fourteen thousand. This
singular change has excited much comment,
and is variously ascribed to the ability OF
whites to control the negro vote, growth OF
black conservatism, and 30 forth and 30 on all
Of which, in our poor opinion, is 30 much bosh.
The great secret is that at these county etec-

CorTox CONVENTION. Cotton Conyen-
ton OF Boston, on its second days sitting, dis
cussed the question of the tare on cotton,
which incidentally involved the question oi
frauds in the packing of cotton.
With regard 10 tsre, The general desire
seemed to be that tho purchaser should be re-
IeYed from paying for that as 80 much cot
ton. On the subject Of impure cotton and
frauds in packing, several speakers acquitted
the Southern cotton planters Of oil blame. MIR.
Simpson, Of Massachusetts,, said those frauds
were the work OF persons "fr IN the North.
Mr.. Nourse, Of the same State, agreed with
him. It was urged that cotton should be 81
packed and marked as that the packer could be
traced out upon the discovery OF fraud This
is the case with tobacco, through the system
of fmanifests, marks, &c. Resolutions to carry
out these objects were discussed, without final
action. Incidentally, something was said
about the poverty Of Southern planters, and
the Importance Of aiding them in their opera
tions of cotton culture. In the course Of de.
bate something WAS also said Of the unfortu.
nate results to the Northern men who hurried
to the South after the war, and embarked in
the cultivation Of cotton with the most san
suine expectations. We all here know some
thing OF those eager expectations and blightet
prospects.
