TWELFTH DAY.
CHARLEsToN, January 29.-The
Convention was called to order hv
: Presldent dackey. Prayer by Isaac
Brockinton, coIored.
e. w. M. Mackey made personal
explanation and apology for his as
sault on a newspaper reporter yests.r-
day. On motion, the apology was
received.
The majority of the Committee on
Miscellaneous Matters submitted q
report, recommending the Conven-
tion to petition Congress to continue
the Freedmen's Bureau until the re-
storation of civil government, and
that II bureau of education be estab.
lished. The majority of the Com
mittee dissented, as by the. time for
the proposed discontinuance-Ju
l6-clvll government will be estab-
lished. The reports were made the
special order for tomorrow, Mt l.
The President read letter of re-
signation from John L. Terry, q de-
legate from Colleton, which was re-
ceived as information.
resolution was adopted, provid-
ing for the printing and distributing
on members tables of $50 copies of
the journal of each days proceed
ings of the Convention.
The special craci, 'al ord uance
to levy special tax to defray the ex-
penses of this Convention and pre-
serve the credit of the State" was
taken up. The matter was discussed,
and was finally made the special order
for half-past o'clock Wednesday.
The ordinance defining the pay
and mileage of members and officers
Of the Convention, was next taken
up.
Il. J. Robertson said the Finance
Committee had looked over the whole
ground, and could find no other
means of raising money to pay the
expenses of the Convention, bnt by
endorsing the bills receivable of the
State. Some of the members report
that they are now much distressed
and in need of money According to
this ordinance, the members were to
be paid 80 per day. The present
discount on the bills receivable of the
State was about 90 per cent, making
the real value of the per diem of the
members $7.20 in greenbacks. Very
few members spend daily more than
one-third of that amount. The
balance, by carrying it home and cir
culating it through the country,
would furnish medium for paving
taxes which would increase their
value perhaps 10 per cent, leaving
only n discount Of 5 per cent. to the
members.
After various amendments by
Roertbson, Whittemore, Parker and
Moses, the ordinance, as finally
adopted, is as follows:
The pay of Member S11 per day;
Secretary $11 per day; Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms $S; Assistant Sec
retary $S; Engrossing Clerk So;
Reading Clerk ST; Door Keeper ST;
Assistant Door Keeper Sc; two Mes
sengers SIS per day, each. And the
sums mentioned aforesaid, shall be
paid to the members and officers in
bills receivable of the State of South
Carolina. The mileage of members
and officers of the Convention, shall
be twenty cents per mile to and from
the Convention by the usual mail
routes.

was recently, between certain papers,
as to .whnt is q billion one asserting
that it is thousand millions, and
the other that it is million millions,
and both citing good authorities in
support of their respective positions.
But when they go further, and insist
that billion not only is, but ought
to be, thousand, or a million mil
lions, it is plain that one or the other
of them must be wrong. In fact,
plain, unsophisticated man requires
but a limited extent of numerical
terms. It is only when the finances
of the State, or the calculations of
science have stretched far beyond the
limits of the tally-stick and the
abacus, that more extended nomen-
clatnre becomes requisite, and ac-
cordingly we find few languages pos
sessing aiterm obviously or apparent
ly original to denote number larger
than thousand. OF the Western
languages, the Greek, with its '.,ny-
Rad" to denote tens of thousands, is
the only instance-the Roman no.
menclatnre stopped with mile. From
this, in process of time, the term
t'million" was formed, to denote
thousands of thousands, and sub
sequently '.billion" was added to the
series, which it was perceived might
be indefinitely extended to 'trillion,"
''quadrillion," &C., words seldom
practically used, and by mathemati-
clans, perhaps, never. But here a
difference arose-the English con-
sidering that, as million is thou
sand thousands, so billion should
be million millions, and trillion
billion billions, while the French
chose to establish in all the new
terms O. thousand-fold progression,
making billion thousand millions,
a trillion thousand billions, &c.
This certainly seems to be the neater
style, as the other makes the reading
of very large numbers extremely
cumbersome, and indeed unintelligi-
BILE, and accordingly we find that
later arithmeticiuns have, almost
without exception, adopted the
French method, which makes the
reading of large numbers ex-
tremely simple and systematic.
Indeed, what is number? It may
be said that it is certain repetition
of unity or one; that ten is ten units;
hundred. n hundred units; thou
sand, n thousand units. The thou
sand, however, is in one sense the
second term of series-a series rep
resenting the three dimensions of
matter. OF this series, one is the
commencement, representing the first
term OF cnbical as we'll rs of square
and linear dimension. OF the last,
ten is the second term, and of square
dimension, hundred is the second.
The Greeks, progressing by the
square dimension, made myriad the
third term-thus: One, n hundred,
Tor hundred times one,) a myriad,
Tor hundred times u hundred.
And indeed, the Greeks made the
myriad their measure of large num-
bers, not saying n million, or n thou
sand thousand, but hundred my
riads. But taking the cubical dimen-
sion, the first three terms will be,
one, a thousand, Tor thousand times
one, and a million, Tor n thousand
