THE CONVENTION.
CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS,
TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

The pertinacity with which the colored au-
dience, in the rear Of the convention hall,
cling to their places and endure crushing, at
tests the fact that to one portion of the COM
munity at least, the proceedings are still deep
ly interesting. Whatever may be on the
tapis, they are evidently determined that
nothing shall escape their eyes or ears.
1t is but fair to say that tone of comparative
moderation has been manifested by the mem
bers thus far in their speeches, and the proceed
ings ofyesterday are in striking contrast to some
of the wild convention doings in other States.
The speech Of DR.. Mackey will be read with in
terest, as expressive Of the official opinion OF
the President Of the convention concerning
the powers of the body; and, as bill Of rights
has been drafted, introduced and referred,
there is some probability that tho work to be
done will be promptly completed, and the body
be soon adjourned.

Wonders Of Modern Surgery

The progress OF modern surgery is most inter-
estingly discussed in an article in the March
number of the Atlantic Monthly. BY the local
application of n sufficient degree of cold. insensi-
bility can be produced in any desired part. so
that a man with a most exquisitely painful wound
on his arm. or felon on his finger, can now look
down, in his perfect senses, upon The knife a. it
enters his own body, and performs the most diff
cult operations without giving him the least pain.
n French surgeon has invented an instrument
he calls the ecrGSeur, or crusher, TO perform oper-
atiuns dangerous in surgery, On account of the
loss of blood from the smaller vessels, If performed
with n knife. Ii Is formed of a fine chain
gathered into n loop, which incloSes the part to
be removed, and by turning a screw the chain is
frightened till the parts are separated. The blunt
chain ~ turns up or twists the ends Of the blood
vessels that hemOrrhage is prevented.
y child was born with Il tongue 50 much too
long that it protruded three or four inches from
her mouth, 80 that she could not masticate food.
or shut her mouth, or speak. Yet when about
fifteen years old, under the influence of chloro-
form, the ecraseur was applied, the superfuous
portion OF the tongue removed, and now she talks,
sings and cats with case.
The eye is now examined by an instrument
called the o~pthalmascope, by which the depths of
the globe of the eve can be readily and fully ex-
plOred, and through Its aid a great deal OF what
has been written and conjectured about diseases
of the eye has been found TO be wrong. The
intricate passages of the ear, the nose, the whole
OF the " wlnppipe ana Passages 10 the lungs,
are now carefully explored.
Perhaps one of the best results of modern
science has been through what is called . conserv-
alive surgery, the rule of which Is TO save all
that possibly can be saved from the amputatiOn
knife. Many of our brave soldiers complained OF
the reckless haste with which, in the late war,
some surgeons would cut off arms and legs on
account of trihing wounds. The complaint was
often Just. But one of the most distinguished
surgeons in the world has lately written AT
Kings College it is rare to see an amputation IN
nine cases out Of ten, eIciSion Tor the cutting out
OF tie diseased portion of the limb), should be
performed in It's stead"
\ poor boy at the West was caught under a
falling log. and his leg broken, crushed and
twisted upon itself at right-angles with has thigh,
the bones protruding through the flesh, and no
doctor near. He lived, and after weeks Of suffer
ing was taken TO 4 hospital Modern conserva-
atiye surgery sawed of the protruding bones,
turned the leg back again to its place, and put
on an instrument to keep it of equal length with
the other, and now the boy stands, runs and
jumps with two sound legs instead of amputating
the limb. as the old-fashioned surgery would have
done.

The Results of Gaming.

If there was any lingering doubt in the minds Of
thinking men whether IL was advisable that more
stringent laws should be made against public gam
ing. two events of the last few weeks must have
removed these doubts. \ well known business
man goes East, and ne far ~ he knows leaves be-
hind him 4 PROSPEROUS business lie returns within
twelve months To- find himself ruined bv the
gambling propensities Of his partner. The SUPER
intcndant of one of vi our Oldest and largest man
ufacturing concerns goes to the Paris exhibition.
leaving the management Of part of the business of
the company and of some Of has own private affairs
in the hands % a subordinate. SO hours after the
principals return the young man flies the country.
Startled BY the Iersistency with which q meeting
between the two had been avoided. the PRINCIPAL
caused an Investigation To be made which revealed
the comnon story, that clerks and agents who
would otherwise lead honest lives inevitably lower
themselves To the grade Of embezzlcrs when they
become addicted to gambling.
In every charge to n Grand Jury. n County
Judge should Law particular stress ON the duty of
inquiry into gambling. Every member of that
body should inculcate upon lbs colleagues the ne
ceseity Of turning their attention to this crime.
Gambling II q hydra-headed monster that threat
ems the peace OF every family. the happiness of
every wife, the character Of every trusted clerk.
and the SOlyency of every commercial house In the
State. Nine-tcnths of the men Of san Francisco
may have no taste that way, or may have hrmness
enough 10 resist the temptation. If they feel It's
power; but one in ten or one in twenty will fail if
the TassiOn j. once excited. and the opportunity Of
indulsing in this vice Is easy. The consequences
are too serious for the danger 10 be trifed with.
Honest men in san Franci-co are to-day losers by
men gambling with money that did not belong TO
them. Wives mourn with 4 deeTer sorrow than
those who mourn for the dead. Children are
growing up who will inherit a dishOnored name.
Friends gricye over the misconduct and disgrace
of men whose social qualities they admired and
whose characters they esteemed until the mask
was dropped
No crime known t. California society Is more
pregnant Of misery than gambling: no crime
which Is 50 fruitful Of evil rs that of tempting
PEOPLE to gambling. Is treated - lightly. Keep
ing rooms for public gaming and dealing games of
chance should be made felony. y law was once
passed by our legislature making gaming a felony.
and therefore giving the police power To break
into any house whore they had good reason u be-
lieve that such crime was being committed. Had
that law been retained and honestly carried into
effect. gaming would have ceased. Ii was repeal-
ed. and many 4 man walks the streets of san
Francisco to-day poor, who would have been en-
ioying n competency but for that repeal: many n
home has been destroyed by the facilities which
the temptcr enjoys ofleading men to extravaganza
dissipation and theft.-S. =. pryer.
