A. Good Beginning.

Thanks to the potency of the example set
by TIE DAILY NEWS, the presses of the
three Charleston newspapers were oil in
dustriously at work yesterday morning,
and none of our citizens were subjected to
the inconvenience and disappointment of
failing to receive the morning paper attheir
breakfast tables. Last year, and every
year hitherto, it will be remembered, the
city journals suspended publication on
the I'd Of January, because, forsooth,
New Years day was claimed as
"printer's holiday" The simple public,
we believe, has been accustomed to re-
gard such intermissions as rather credit
able, though somewhat annoying, instances
of journalistic iberslity. The printers,
however, understand we'll enough that
holiday of that kind means nothing more
than deduction Of days pay from their
hard earned week wages; and we fancy that
they will be the last to complain Of being
deprived of such an unasked boon. Our
contemporaries have done sensible thing
in thus acquiescing in and accepting our in
novation upon custom which had no other
recommendation except that it dates back
to the time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. They have
made good beginning for the New Year;
and it is to be hoped that, encouraged by
the favor with which their readers have
noticed this copied improvement, they will
gradually learn to initiate the enterprise Of

FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1868.
The state Convention.

Faw persons seem to understand what
powers are granted to the convention which
il ordered to assemble in this city on the
14th instant; and, as natural consequence,
number of alarming rumors are already
in circulation. One of the mildest reports
is that the convention will depose all the
Judges in the State with the exception OF
two: and another points to more thorough
reversal of the relations between the white
and the black than has been attempted by
the conventions Of either Louisiana or
Georgia.
There is but one way Of meeting the ru-
mors that have been concooted, and of
making harmless those that will be Matched
as the day of meeting draws near; and that
way is by knowing and oompreheending
what are the powers of the convention, and
what work it is authorized to do.
The convention will assemble by order OF
the Commanding General, in conformity
with the Reconstruction acts. These are
the source of the authority of the oonven-
ton, and they define clearly what duties
that body shall perform. The supplement
tary act says that the convention shall
"frame a constitution and civil government"
This will be the one great work OF the con-
vention; and there is no limitation as to the
character of the "constitution and CIVIL
government except that they shall be In
conformity with the Constitution of the
United States. But when the constitution
ia framed it has no immediate force. 1t
must be ratified by the registered voters In
the State, and it must be submitted to and
approved by Congress, before it has any
binding power whatever.
The convention cannot legislate; it can
change no laws; it can make no removals;
it can make no appointments beyond those
of officers of it's own body; it cannot levy
taxes except for the one purpose Of paying
the salaries of its delegates, officers, and
agents; it can only frame 8 constitution,
which constitution will not in any way
change our condition, or sffect our position,
until it has been duly voted on and duly
accepted by Congress.
under existing orders and laws; and, unless
these orders and laws are modified OF
changed, the convention cannot 60 beyond
the limits which have been marked out for
1t by the acts Of Congress which govern re-
construction.

StOkes-Then / will express my own
opinion, and my own opinion is, that

that unless the people have arms in the
Southern States the Union men, white
and black, will be oveTrun; and 1 say
that 1t is the duty of Congress to stay
here until this measure is put through.
My people are expecting every moment
that Forrest and his Rebel Democratic
crew will commence making war upon
them. We were entitled to 10000 stand
of arms in my district, and the requisi-
ton was made for that number by the
Governor, but only 1000 stand were fur
nisheG, and we to-day demand the other
5000 stand of arms. This Is matter Of
life and death to US. / am satisfied OF
the fact that we will need these arms at
the South at very early day. The war
cry has gone forth; the Rebels say they
will rule the country or exteTminRts the
cOlOTed Union men, and, for one, / am
disposed to meet them.
Mr.. Washburne, Of Illinois, was afraid
of this thing-afrsid that the arms
which might be sent down to the loyal
negroes would be seized by the rebels.

Further, IS the skiFmishing debate went
