the hands Of the people-a mass Of voters, the ma

TWENTY SECOND DAY.
MONDAY, February l0.-The convention assem-
bled at 10l o'clock.
The reports from Standing Committees being
called for, W. E. Rose, from the Committee on
Petitions, made a report on the resolution to ap-
names of such persons as desire to have their dis
abilities removed, and recommend that, in lieu of
a committee, parties wishing such privilege ac-
corded should apply to the convention by letter.
The Committee on the Miscellaneous provisions
Of the Constitution, made report on resolution
providing for the organization of the militia, and
recommend that the following be adopted as an ar
ticle in the constitution:
'The militia of the State of South Carolina shall
consist of all able bodied men, residents of the
State, between the ages of eighteen and forty-6ve
years. except such persons as now are or may here
after be exempt by the lays of the United States
or by the State and shall be organized, equipped
and disciplined as the General Assembly may by
law provide"
The report was adopted, and the article consid-
cred as having been read the first. time.
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
On motion of Mr. Holmes, of Beaufort, section
20 was re-considered, whereupon N. G. Parker Of
fered the following as a substitute:
"An offences less than felony, in which the pun
ishment does not exceed fine Of one hundred dol
lars or imprisonment for thirty days, shall be tried
summarily before justice of the peace or other
officer authorized by law, on information, under
oath, without indictment or the Intervention of a
grand jury, saving to the defendant the right of
appeal and no person shall be held to answer for
any higher crime, unless on presentment before q
grand jury, except in cases arising in the army or
navy, in the militia, when in service in time of
war or public danger.
Considerable discussion ensued, but the subst-
tute was finally adopted and passed to its third
reading. ..... -"-.s-. ......... ..-
Section 21 received its second reading. It is as
follows:
Section 2l. No person shall be imprisoned for
debt, except in cases of fraud; and reasonable
amount of property, as homestead, shall be ex
empted from seizure or sale for the payment Of
any debts or liabilities, except for taxes, that may
be contracted after the adoption of this constitu
ton.
Several amendments were offered, and debate
followed, which was participated in by Randolph,
Whittemore and others. Whittemore offered an
amendment to strike out all after the word sale,
and insert Except for the payment of such obliga
tions as are provided for in this constitution" A
ter some debate and fllibusterng, the question was
then taken on agreeing to the amendment offered
by Mr.. Whittemore, and it was decided in the
affirmative. The section as amended was then
passed to its third reading.
Section 22nd was passed to its third reading
without amendment.
Section 23d received its third reading, and elici-
ted considerable debate without direct vote be-
ing taken, the hour Of adjournment ending the
