COMMENCEMENT DAY AT THE MEDI.
CAL ContEaE.LThe commencement
of the Medical College Of South Caro-
lima, was celebrated at the college
building on Saturday. The eyercises
were opened by Prof. J.. j. Chisolm,,
M; D., the Dean of the Faculty, who
reported to the, President and Board
OF Trustees. the condition of the in
stitution during the past year. In
the course Of his remarks the Dean
spoke Of the high reputation of this
college and the head rank which it
had always, and still sustains among
the medical schools of America, of
which this is one Of the Oldest. Me-
dical students study from two to
three years before applying for the
degree of doctor in medicine. The
advanced students, or those who are
taking their last course preparatory
to graduating, always bear in this
school larger per centage to the
number in the classes than in any
other institution of high standing in
the United States, which is in itself
the strongest proof of the exalted re-
putation of This seat of medical learn
ing and the high appreciation in
which the diploma of this faculty is
valued throughout the Southern
States. The conduct of the class was
referred to as most exemplary and
the application to their studies most
satisfactory.
After comforting the degrees, the
Hon. Alfred Huger, the senior mem
Der of the Board of Trustees, deliver
ed an address, which was filed with
good advice and pathetic appeals to
the finer feelings of these young gen.
tlemen, who, from this time forward,
had enrolled their names as members
and supporters of the divine, noble
and most honorable of professions.
Although feeble in body, Mr..
Huger has lost nothing in vigor of
mind. The fires within still burn
brightly, and those innate powers of
oratory which in former days never
failed to fix the attention of the
General Assembly, of which he was
long a member, are now rendered
still more striking by the full mellow
depth of his rich voice, combined
with the bleached locks of his octo-
genarian. We would that all of our
young men who are about setting out
in life, could have heard the good
advice embodied in the address of
Mr.. Huger.
The degree of Doctor in Medicine
was conferred upon the following
gentlemen from this State:
L. M. Aver, Jr., Barnwell; W. W.
Anderson, Stateburg; John Gaillard

The Reconstruetion Conventions.


ATLANTA, February 29.-The Con-

day, to request Congress to make o
liberal appropriation for the building
of the air line road from Atlanta to
Charlotte, N. G. A motion to ad-
journ sine die was lost A motion to
reconsider the action of yesterday in
tabling resolution endorsing The
course of Congress in reference to
/ Impeachment, was lost by GO yeas to
f62 nays. Holcombe moved that this
Convention do now adjourn, to meet
again on the third Tuesday in May,
and remain in session so long as it
may be necessary for the protection
of loyal Georgians and the Congress
of the United States.
The Convention will probably ad-
journ on the 4th of March.
CHARLESTON, March 2.-The Con-
yention worked effectively to-day, and
passed eighteen sections of the article
on education. The State is divided
into school districts; poll tax for the
support of schools; board of commits
sioners, and attendance of pupils. A
resolution was adopted to petition
Congress to take no action looking
towards repeal of the present import
duty on rice, on the ground ttilat the
adjustment of the present tariff will
introduce India rice at low figure.
and compete with home production,
thus rendering the culture of the sta:
pie improbable and deprive the State
of one Of its chief resources. A re-
solution to adjourn finally on the 18th
March failed. The Convention is
working rapidly and with moderation.
1t is noticeable that several Repub-
licans vote frequently with the Demo
Gratis. The highest vote of the mi
nority to. day reached twenty, which
would prevent impeachment by two
votes. The Senate is still in session,
