A FracnS In the Convention.

On Monday last, at the closc of tho pro.
cccdings of the Negro Convention, row oc-
CURED, in which the only white delegate hail
ing from Oranscburg immortalizcd himself by
nm assault upon Roswell T. Logan, Esq, Az.
sistant Editor of tie Charleston Mercuyy
! It appears that the truth SO plainly spoken
by the Mercury, concerning the antcocdcnts Of
ALBERT G. Mackcy, the father of the plain
iyoung man, was exceedingly distastcful to them
both and in order to take revenge for tho OK
iposulc, young Mackey mu,@ an attack upon
Mr.. Logan, in the very halls of the Convention
itself, and several blows passed between them
A more cowardly attack could not havo been
made but any other kind would not have been
characteristic of the plain young hero 1t
was only in tho presence of largo mob Of
kindred spirits, ready to back him oven to
bloodshcd and murder, that the young hero at-
tempted q satisfaction that he would not have
dared to exact on faircr terms
The result was that tie Convention became
violent mob, crying out for blood and murder,
and it was only by the strenuous efforts of a
few of the most influential delegates, that vio-
lcncc was prevented. These efforts not only
quictcd at last tho angry crowd, but they
soothcd the iratc President who is said to
have yitupcratcd "lkc wrathy old woman"
Mr.. Logan behaved with the most COM
mcndiblo self-control; and acted throughout
the whole affair, as became brave man, and a
gentleman. lm.mH hssiuH

SlT Curtis LampaOn.

From the incipiency Of the Atlantic Tcie-
graph enterprise, Sir Curtis Lsmpson bas
been one Of its principal capitalists aud s1p
porters. When others, on the failure of try
undertaking IN 1858, hastened 70 seli their
stock at any sacrifice, he held on steadily Y,
his. He called together the disapp1n.sl
shareholders, encouraged the faint-helrted,
combstted the despairlng, invited the ala oh
experts and scientific men, advanced large
sums Of money to Sustain the sinking cred. ID
Of the Company, made his c0untinE-ro1m
the rendezvous Of the dSheartened Directors
and encouraged new efforts BY still larger
subscriP tions OF money. To no man, n1t
even excepting Mr. Field, either il p.cu
MARY or moral point Of view, does the snc-
cess of the Atlantic cable owe ~ much He
was never timid. In the darkest days his
faith was firm. Beyond all others no in
CURED risks. Failures that seemed 10 The
public irreneliable, were his incentives "
new efforts No difficulties appeared 10 him
insuperabIe. Faults in construction, Ia pay
ing out, and in repairing breaks ia the "a
bic; defects in signals, connections, insuia-
ton, coiling and uncoliRg, became subjects
Of his study. The recovery Of the lost ca.
bic, ut attempts for which the world ieered
during three years, he made his particular
speciality, and to no other man Is that great
achievement OF modern sciench az muce due.
His Knighthood, which Is simply a decora-
ton bestowed by the Queen as recognition
Of meFitorIous service, neither enaObling his
family nor inherited by his descendants,
only stamping hun, what he was oil but 10
birth before, an Bnglishman, is AZ honor
fairly deserved and nobly won. Sir Curtis
Lampson is . native OF Vermont y.

THE AMALGAMATED CARPEN.
TIERS AND JOINERS.

The report Of the Amalgamated Oarpen-
tiers and Joiners, Of Great Britain, for the
year 1867, has recently been Published and
contains deal of information which will
doubtless prove valuable to many rssders Of
the ADVOCATE, as showing the status, inhu-
ence and membership Of one of the most In
tiuential organisations in the world. The
society was commenced in 1850, and had,
at the end of that year, twenty branches,
with 6l3 members, at the expiry Of 1869, IT
of the third year, the number Of branches
was nearly doubled, and the membership
had increased by one half the fourth was
year of great activity in which twenty eight
new branches were added, and the member
ship, increased by 1863, was brought up to
1,7l8; at the close of 1864 it was 8, 279; at
the end Of 1866, the numbers were 5,67O !;
and the society had at the termination Of
1865, of branches 1873, and Of members, g.
O22. The last year tried the stamina of all
trade societies, and although the Amalga-
mated Carpenters and Joiners added sixteen
new branches, they had only enlarged their
membership by twenty, at the close Of the
year. The average number Of members in
each branch, at the close of 1866, was Az,
but at the end of 1867 it was only 394.
No general statement could So Distinctly
exhibit the diff culhes of the trade as these
figures, for the increase of branches and OF
funds certify the good opinion entertained
Of this young society, and its youth almost
presupposes a greater than the general aver
age Of young men in the membership. Al
though only in the seventh year Of its exist
snce, we find it's membership has incress 20
during that period from 6lS to S,022, and
