cH ARIFST15N g. WEDNESDAY MORNING,

sembling Of the first legislature hereafter, all
Charters granted to owners of ferries.
Some discussion took place on resolution
offered byJ. J. Wright, to the effect that where
as several Of the leading members Of the con-
yention we're inclined to dodge the issue when
ever important questions were to be decided by
yeas and nays, therefore resolved that any dele,
leave from the President, shall lose his pr
diem for that day.
On motion of B. Byas, it was laid on the
table.
The rest of the business Of the day was un-
important and at the usual hour the conven-
ton adjourned.

THE CONTENTION,
CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS,
TO FRAME STATE CONSTITUTION
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

The public will be somewhat astonished on
learning how unanimously the convention yes
tsrday voted in favor OF the ordinance invali-
dating contracts based on transactions In slave
property. Their action is q home thrust into
many a mans pocket, and if sustained by the
courts, the last ray Of hope which has illumin-
ed the future of many widow and orphan thai
something may yet be realized from these
bonds, which now constitute the wreck of for
mer fortune, will be forever extinguished. On
the other hand, hundreds, if not thousands OF
individuals, will rejoice that such an ordinance
has bven adopted, and by it they have been
saved from the payment of obligations that
would hsve involved them in ruin.
The large vote in the affirmative is doubtless
due to the appeals made to the feelings rather
than to the reason of delegates, and Messr'.
Whittemore, Rutland and others, who opposed
the ordinance on the ground that the conveil-
ton had no right 10 interfere with contracts
morally and legally made, we're overwhelmed
nv the stormy sentimentalsts on the other
side.
To-day several of the Committees on the
Constitution will report, and the work OF fraln-
ing that instrument be commenced in earnest.

HOW TO COLLECT WAGES.
B. Byas (colored), Of Berkely, offered long

The Umdisputed Superiority

Of the medicinal virtues of Rsback's Blood
Pills, Stomach Bitters and Blood Purifier over
all other remedies prepared to relieve suffering
humanity is shown in many ways, but espec ally
is it eviuccdi in this important fact; That respon.
sible druggists and merchants all over the coun.
try take active interest in introducing them to
their best customers and friends, while, at the
same time, it is quite as much to their pecuni
airy interest to recommend other medicines.
The reason for this is obvious. They are in
positions to see the pre-eminent efficacy Of the
pills in cases of Liver Complaint and all eb-
structions of the bowels and in fact, in all cases
where a cathartic medicine can be employed.
While the Btters, by their gentle tonic, stimu.
liant and laxative properties, and as safe and
certain remedy in Dyspepsia, have won the ad-
miration OF every one who has given them a
trial and the Blood Purifier is acknowledged
TO be one of the best remedies TO search out dis:
ease, cure Scrofula, Old Sores, Eruptions and
Skin Diseases and to purify the blood extant;
hence the people must naturally give their
voice in favor of remedies which effect 70 much
real good in the world.

General Blair

In the seth Congress General Frank
p. Blair was the favorito Of the intense
lyIoyal men for Speaker. John Hick--
man, of Pennsylvania, put him in NOM
ination, saying:
al beg leave to nominate for the
SpeakersRip of this House, General
Francis p. Blair, Jr., of Missouri, gen.
tleman who has inaugurated war pol
lev in that State which has elected the
enthusiastic appreciation of every loyal
American citizen"
General Blair received forty votes up
on the first ballot, but withdrew his
name as he contemplated returning to
the field. Among those who voted for
him were John A. Bingham, OF ONO,
Roscoe Conkling, of New York, now
United States Senator; Kelly, OF Penn
sylvania; Lovejoy, of Illinois; sherman
of Ohio, and Schuyler ColfaX, OF maj,
ana. These patriots kept their nold
upon Congress, and all except LoVeloy,
who is dead, are in il still. Frank blair
resigned his seat. entered the heid, ana
came in with Sherman, commanding
the 18th corps, at the close OF the rebel
lion. Now these lip-loyalists and their
fellows have the impudence to speak of
Frank Blair without lifting their hats,
and to question his allegiance to the
Union and the Constitution!
