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

The convention yesterday was happier
looking set Of mortals than it has been at any
time during the session. Board bills had been
paid, pocket-books lined afresh, and everybody
appeared to be in an ''Oh-that1l'be-joyful'
frame of mind, which boded peace and good
will to all men. The resolutions were, with
one or two exceptions, conservative the
speeches full Of theoretical milk Of hrman
kindness. Langley didn't call anybody to Or
der, and three hours slipped ghbly by without
q hitch.
The main feature of the day was the discus
sion of an ordinance invalidating all contracts,
the consideration of which is based on the pur-
chase or sale of slaves. This elected much
animation from some Of the colored delegates,
and an evident disposition to wipe out the last
remaining vestige of "the institution"
Messrs. Rutland, Whittemore, and F. L. Car
doza, we're the only breakwsters to the tide
sweeping forward in favor Of the ordinance,
and the probability is that it will be passed to-
day.
From thirty to forty visitors, male and
female, most Of whom are doubtless tourists,
occupied seats reserved for guests.
Our lack of space prevents 30 full report OF
the debate as it deserves.
The resolution introduced by ]. b. Aainey
(colored), Of Georgetown, which will be found
below, is one Of the best that has yet been
offered. It states fact authoritatively which,
if understood by the lower classes Of fresdmen
before, would have saved our people vast
amount Of trouble and money. 1t is one Of
those premonitory streake OF rainbow IN q
clouded sky which may mean ri,sv.tne storm Is
passing and that peace may come again once
more.

You may be Too Late.

Be warned in time. Diseases like indiges-
ton and Dyspepsia are not to be trifed with.
There is such q thing as being TOO late in these
matters inflammation, or Scirrhus SANGER, or
some other dangerous disease may ensue, when

be Intellectual Do not delay then. When the
symptoms of Dyspepsia are first experienced

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and
you will be sale.
But few disorders involve greater suffering
and if not in inself Immediately dangerous, it
is the source CT many deadly naladles Even
fit did not tend to greater evil, the mental
and physical misery it produces is alone a
sufficient reason why no pains should be
spared to prevent or cure it. In no country
on the face of the globe is 1t SO completely do
mesticated as in our own, where it IS found in
nearly every household. HOSTETTER' S
STOMACH BITTERS are universally conce-
led to be the sovereign remedy for this annoy
ing disease, as they act directly upon the di.
gestive organs, correct and tone the stomach,
and give renewed vitality to the system. Ac-
ng delightfully."- upon the nerves and soothi ng
the brain, renders them eficaciou5 as mental
medicine, rs well rs genial stomachic. If
taken as 4 preventive they will be found
particularly we'll suited to the diseases arising
from the unhealthy season OF autumn, and

sensation often complained of when the chllls
are stealing slowly upon the patient.

AN ERRAND OF MERcY--The mission of
M1SHLER'S HERB BITTERS is one OF mercy

of thousands of American homes in hospitals,
asylums, dispensatories and infrmaries, on sen
and land, and wherever it is introduced, are
admitted to embrace many Of the most remark
able on record. But, while it is standard
remedy for a long train Of diseases, it is also
the acme OF perfection as a protective medicine
1t cures permanently and is yitalizing and
strength agent while on the other
hand it is a safe means of regulating, reinforc-
ing and protecting the human physique from

How OFTEN do you hear the complaint from
mother and father tn their son or daughter
is not well that they have no appetite that
they are growing thin and feeble, and that
they have no life or energy left. That they
are low-spirited, and perfectly incapacitated to
participate in any pleasures, or perform any
mental or physical duty. And the question is
often asked, what shall | do for them or,
what shalt give them? Our answer is, let
them try PLANTATION BITTERs moderately three
times day, and our word for it, they win re-

elude the most painstaking care and at last, when
it is to late Tor remedy, boldly stare out from the

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-On the

youngest son, bright and promising boy OF
twelve, met with terrible accident which will
probably result in dshguring him for life if the
more serious consequence of the loss Of one or
both his ewes does not follow At the time, he
was he standing near the stove holding an or
binary copper flask well filed with powder, ard
amusing himself by throwing pinches Of the
powder into the fire. This dangerous sport
was soon terminated by spark OF fire snapped
into the flask, when a terrific explosion ensued,
bursting the flask into fragments and driving
the largest piece into tie boys face with great
force, tearing and cutting it in terrible>man-
ner. The right cheek is cut clear through
with two gashes which extend from the corner
of the mouth-the one up over the cheek bone
and the other more directly across the cheek
below the ear The chm is cut to the bone
with a perpendicular cash: the tongue is badly
sDlt several teeth are knocked out, q deep cut
runs across the bridge of the nose, and both
ewes are en- tirely closed. The best of medical
attendance and the constant care of the famls
and sympathizing friends are doing all that is
possible for the suffering victim Of this most
distressing accident.
