THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The Convention, at Charleston, brought its work
to close on Tuesday last. The several Articles OF
the new Constitution have been adopted, and for
the benefit of our readers, and in advance of its
publication in full, we analyze few of the most
important provisions embraced in it.
Article I, called the "Bill of Rights" declares
the common law lights of citizens of the State, and
presents but few changes from what exists at the
present time Among the changes Imprisonment
for debt is prohibited, except in cases of fraud
misdemeanors, where fine does not exceed over
500, and Imprisonment not over 80 days, shall
have summary trial before magistrate or JUS
tce; any person who shall fight duel, or send or
accept challenge for duel, or become an alder
or abcttor of the parties, shall be disqualified for
holding Office; representation to be apportioned
according to population exclusively.
Article II, styled the Legislative Department
provides for Senate and House of Representa-.
tives. the former to be composed of one member
from each county, except Charleston which shall
have two, and to hold Office four years-and the
House to be composed of one hundred and twenty.
four members apportioned among the counties &C.
cordng to population county to have at least
| one repreSentatlVe-aIlu 10 HOlQ Once TWO years.
Eligibility to the Senate requires citizenship inthe
United States one years residence in the State
and three months in the county from whence elect
ed, and be 25 years of age. Eligibility to the
House requires the like citizenship and the person
elected, to be 81 years of age. The first elec
ton for members to be held on the 18th, 18th and
10th of April, and those following, on the Sd Wed
nesday in October. First Session of the Legisla
ture to commence the second Tuesday in May, and
all regular sessions thereafter, the fourth Tuesday
in November, at Columbia, unless ordered by the
Governor in time of invasion or insurrection, to
meet elsewhere. Columbia to remain the seat Of
government unless changed by two-thirds vote Of
both branches of the Legislature.
Each House is empowered with the usual privi-
leges over its members and other persons present,
or under its control. The pay of members to be
Sc per day while in attendance on the session, and
20 cents per mile, going and returning. The oath
administered to members requires them to recog,
4izc the supremacy of the Constitution and laws
of the United States over any State, and to sup
port, protect, and defend this Constitution, &c.
Members of the bar and all other officers to take

WHO WILL BE DIsFRANCHISED

The new Constitution of South Carolina prohb
its from voting, male persons above the age of q
years who are kept in an alms-house or asylum
lunatics or persons of unsound mind persons con-
fined in public prisons; and all persons who arc
now, or may hereafter be disfranchised by the
Constitution of the United States.
No person is, at present, disfranchised by the
Constitution Of the United States. The fourteenth
Article or Howard amendment, now before the
legislatures of the several States for ratification
prohibits certain classes from holding office, but
does not prevent them from voting.
At the election on the l4th, 18th and 10th Of
next month, only those persons who are registered
will be allowed to vote; but in all elections held
thereafter-should the Constitution be adopted
there is no restriction on the right to vote of all
males twentyone years Of age, except persons con-
vctcd of felony, paupers in almshouses, lunatics,
or those confined in public prison.

WHAT SHALL WE PLANT2

Advice is generally regarded as one of the things
which it is better to give than to receive ; but
when the usual manner of receiving it is consider
ed the reverse of this opinion is much nearer the
truth. Very few persons are in the habit of fol-
lowing advice, especially when it is gratuitous.-
For this reason we have repugnance to giving
counsel in matters pertaining to other people S
business and of all subjects of advice, that Of farm
ing is special aversion. There is so much advice
poked at farmers by the press, and so much of it
is trash that it is no wonder they seldom ponder
much upon it. But just at this time the question
of what shall be cultivated as the main crop of the
South, has become subject of such importance,
that its discussion can do no harm, and may do
some good.
1t has been generally agreed that grain must be-
come more of an item in our crops than il has been.
No country can ever become selfsustaining and
truly rich, while it depends upon others for food
The experience of the last few years ought to sat
isfy our people of this fact, and we believe that it
has convinced the majority of them. When this
suffciency of food crops has been provided for it
is no more than rational for each man TO cultivate
his surplus land in the production of something
that will bring money to his pockets The ques-
ton then comes up: What is that crop to be?-
1t used to be cotton but is it cotton now? Six
weeks ago, the almost universal answer would have
been NO." and that because the price was too
low to pay the cost of production.
But cotton has since doubled in its market val
ue, and the views of many have doubtless been
modified by this circumstance. Cotton is certainly
the favorite crop, if there is any chance for it to
bring remunerative price. This, of course, is
not to be positively ascertained now; he who tries
cotton again must take the chances. Now what
are the chances for the next crop cotton to main
tain good price? To determine this, it is neces-
sary to inquire first, why it is selling so much high
er now than it did two months ago. Is there any
actual increase in the value of cotton, or is the
present price merely fictitious value, given to it
by spectators? The supply on hand in the world
was as we'll known then as now, and an unforeseen
deficit cannot be the cause of the late rise. Nor
can it be an increased demand for the consump-
ton has not increased so far as American factories
are concerned.
There are reasons, which could be assigned for
this phenomenon; and which would account for

New Hampshire Elections.
THE elections in New Hampshire have agair
resulted in Republican triumph, with a small re
duction on the majority at the last election. The
Republican majority, in the State is estimated al
from $500 to 5000.
Conservative Candidate for Congress.
The Charleston Nc,es has been authorized

Governor Aiken is qualified for election under the
Reconstruction Acts.
Virginia not State!
- Recently, in Washington, fugitive from
Justice, who had been arrested under requisitior
from Governor Pierpont, of Virginia, was brought
before Judge Fisher on writ of habeas corpus
Judge Fisher, after considering the matter for 6
short time, decided to release the prisoner, ''be

Effects of Bad Government.
The Memphis Avalanche calls attention te
the fact that there is difference in the price o
adjoining lands in Kentucky and Tennessee. The
imaginary line which separates the two States, has
become an index of value, and land is priced high
or low, according to its situation North or South
of that line A tract in Tennessee is worth, in the
market, from twenty to fifty per cent. less per acre
than a similar and adjoining tract in Kentucky.
There is no cause for this difference in value ex
cept that Tennessee is governed, or rather msgov.
erned, by Brownlow and his satellites. Her citi.
zens are oppressed, apd therefore, many Of them,
desirous of leaving the State, offer their property
for sale, and as purchasers are scarce, it must be
offered below its value A similar depreciation Of
land prevails throughout the States Of the late
Confederacy, duo to the same cause-misgovern-

ORGANIZE AT ONCE.

The Convention, at Charleston, has appointed
the 18th, 18th and 18th days of April, for voting
on the Constitution, and for the election of State
Officers and members of Congress and the Gener'
al Assembly.
Under the late Supplementary Reconstruction
Acts, this Constitution will, without question: be
ratified; as only majority Of the votes actually
cast in favor Of is necessary to ratity and, there
fore, the new machinery of the State Government
will be put in speedy operation. 1t is the govern
ment under which we are to live for some time tc
come at least, and we ought to take steps at once
to see that it is fairly administered, under compe
tent State and District officers.
Would it would not be we'll for the masses of ou,
citizens to step forward now, and organize in read
iness for these elections, and endeavor to secure
the election of competent persons for the District
Officers and Members of the General Assembly
In many of the upper Districts ofthe State this
can be done, by little effort on the part Of the
people at large. To succeed, thorough organiza
ton is first necessary. In many of the Districts
this work has already commenced, under the ad
visement of our ablest and best citizens. 1t is s
work that must be commenced at some time, anc
the earlier begun the more effective will such or
CARNATIONS become. Staying a'oay from hepo@

Will not some of our leading citizens take tht
necessary steps to have meeting called at some
early day for organization, and the nomination
suitable persons to fill such Offices as they can prob
ably control? The proper administration OF jus
tice and the peace and welfare Of each community
may depend upon well-directed and timely effor
made with this view There Is no time to lose!
THE CONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION:
In the ENQUIRER, last week, we published thu
Ordinance of the Convention, providing for an el
ecton on the question of ratfyng the Constitution
and Ordinances adopted by that body, and for Ger
tain State officers. 1t will be remembered that i
was proposed to hold an omnibus election, ant
to vote for or against the Constitution and Ordin
nces on the same ticket for the officers to be elected
without allowing the privilege of voting for th'
Constitution and against the Ordinances, or nc
rersa.. Subsequently, under the direction of Gen
eral Canhr-it is understandable GannAntinn a
dopted supplemental Ordinance, which amend
the original so that the Constitution is to be sub
mitted alone and upon its merits.
Elections are to be held on the l4th, 18th anc
10th days of April, for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Adjutant and Inspector General, Secre
tary of State, Comptroller-G Treasurer, At

to whom the books, belonging to the Office, were
sent.
We have, since that time, been informed that
Josiah Miller has received the appointment, upon
the recommendation of the Chesser delegation in
the Convention. The Tappointee is pretty well
known to the citizens of Chester, as successful
raiser of chickens and yender ofeggs. Otherwise,
his obscurty is Dense He is one of the few white
men in our District who has identified himself
with the Union Republican party, and he is already
about to reap his reward. It is becoming more
and more apparent every day, that no man can
hope for place or position in South Carolina, un-
der the new regime who is not in sympathy with
the negro party, whatever may be his talents, his
character or his record as Union man.
