On motion Of Mr.. John Hanckel General John A.
wagener was called to the chair.
Mr.. ". s. Henerey was then nominated as sec reta-
ry. when Mr.. ". L. Daggett, of the Courier office.
lowed to remain In the Convention who was not a
member thereof. The representatives of J BE NEWS
and Mercury then retired. The motion made may
have been in itself very proper, but under the cir
cumstsnces, that 1t should have come from Mr. Bag
gett, shows him to be utterly wanting in that cour
tesy which hns usually been the characteristic Of
Charleston journaliem.
Mr.. WIS. Henerey declined to serve, and Mr.. W.
L. Daegett was then appointed secretary.
After organizing, the committee adjourned to meet
Tuesday evening at O'Clock.
R
CLOSE OF TIE CHARITY FAIR.-The last night
of the Fair was q complete ovation. The hall was
densely crowded, and the Post Band played their
most inspirihng airs, which induced many OF the
gay promenaders to plead for one dance. Unfortu.
nately their Terpsichorean procvties could not be
gratfed, as the auction Of the unrafled articles was
to take place under the auspices Of Messrs William
Knox and R. 8. Bruins. We venture the assertion
that these gentlemen have never exclaimed "going
at q sacrificed" with more truth than last night The
music drew large crowd to the stage, and the AUG
doneers' cries were frequently drowned by the me-
lodious strains Of 'Pop goes the Weasel" and other
familiar tunes.
AS the Fair was about to close, Bishop Lynch
came forward and said that he must express his
high appreciation Of the manner in which 1t had
been conducted. During the eleven days Of its CON.
tinuance there had been no unpleasant feeling or
want of cordiality-an had been characterized by
perfect purity Of manner and proprety OF behavior
He thanked particularly the public, the ladies and
the committee, and said that he believed that the
proceeds of the Fair would nr exceed bis modest e1
peetatons.
The visitors remained until late hour, and it was
not until the warning notes of the last car were
sounded that the hall was cleared.
