The Columbia Convention.

We confess to q profound interest
in the Convention to meet in Co.
lumbia to-day, and it is the first
gathering in the State since our de-
feat and subjugatlon which wo would
have taken pleasure in attending.
Tho Charleston News suggests several
topics for tho consideration of the
Convention, but it omits three of
prime Importance.
lst. A now fence law, compelling
: tho owners Of stock to fence thom
in, is very much needed, and of
all measures Of assistance that gov.
eminent could adopt, it would help our
people most, and add millions of
money, both saved and made, to our
resources.
I'd. Some practicable plan, backed
by sufficient money, of Introducing
improved stock, and testing new va,
trieties Of seeds and fruits, should bo
adopted.
Sd. Special attention should be
given to the consideration of Ramic,
and encouragement, in the way of
premiums, &c., given to experiments
with it, both because it can be gather.
td by machinery and promises to add
an unexpected value to our worn.out
lands, and because it can be gathered
and sold four times gear, which will
give our trade perpetual lifo and
vigor, by pouring into our country
an unintermittcd stream of wealth.
If tho Convention will consider
such points as these maturolv, it
would perhaps do we'll to omit the Ia
'or or ncgroc question, leaving it to
timc.

THE CoyToN GoLD MOVEMENT,
The Mobile Register, of the l7th, in
it's Weekly Review of the market,
says:
In our remarks Of two weeks since
We stated that the Board of Trade
would take up the question of "Gold
for Cotton" to take effect from the
lst of next September. Since then
the Board has held its regular month
ly meeting, and appointed commit
tee of five of tho leading bankers and
merchants of the city to take the mat
ter under advisement, and to open
correspondence with the Boards and
Chambers Of all the Southern ports,
in order that cooperation and unity
of action may be secured in case the
question should bo considered favor
ably. This Committee will not report
before tho lst of June, and iu the
meantime it would be we'll for the
Press throughout the State to discuss
the question fully and freely, so that
a clear understanding may be had of
tho change proposed.

War with England.

The North does not fear, but rathor
desires war with England, as
means of prostrating British Com,
morce, and acquiring for itself the
carrying trade Of the civilized world.
1t is this portentous fact, and the un.
scrupulous greed that distinguishes all
nations in their diplomacy that rem
ders the situation really alarming.
Relying upon this secret desire for
commercial resuscitation and aggran-
dizement, tho United States Senate
havc rejected the johnson treaty by a
vote of 81 to and in their individ.
ual capacity, l'aru onp, oesvl vrnv~x-

racy. We are, tlon, likely to have
war, and if the present ministry were
truo Statesmen, wc would have it i'm
mediate1y; for England ,oiN only lose 6g
delay. For year at least, England
could sweep the seas, so unproparod
are the United States. BuS time will
tame the British lion. England will
sink in prolonged struggle. Her
statesmen would show wisdom, there,
fore, in beginning the struggle at
once, and in ending it as soon as posi-.
bic. 1t is folly to suppose that the
temper of tho North will become more
friendly. Sumner, at the head Of
hundreds of domagogucs, will con.
t'nuc to lash it into fury. His late
speech is we'll calculated to inAame
every angry passion. England can.
not escape without humiliation or 9
fight. The longer the fight is post,
ponod, tho moro disastrous will it b,
to Great Britain.

The SPANISH CoNsTlruTIoN.-- The
full text of tho new Constitution of
Spain, which came by the last steamer
contains some provisions of general
interest. The form of govornm ent is
to be that of an hereditary monarchy.
In case Of the extinction of the royal
line OF succession, the new monarch is
to be elected by the Cortes, The lat
ter body will consist of Senate and
o Congress-, tho lattcr-the lower
house-to be chosen by the people
every three years, and the former to
renew one.fourth of it's members every
third year. Trial by jury to be guar.
anteed in all cases, civil and criminal.
Suffrage is to be universal. No Span
lard, iu full possession of his civil
rights, can be deprived of his vote, or
OF the right of free speech or Of Pc
ution. Public meetings must take
place only by day. The following are
the articles on religion, which proba-
ply test the revolutionary movement
botter than any other provisions:
"ARTIcLE &c. The nation obliges
itself to maintain the worship and the
ministers of the Catholic religion.
ART. 81. The public and private
exercise of any other worship is guar.
anteed to all foreigners resident in
Spain, without other limitations than
the universal rules of morals and of
right.
ART. %. IF any Spaniards profess
any other religion thau tho Catholic,
all tho dispositions of the foregoing
paragraph are applicable to them.
ART. 24. Every Spaniard may
found and maintain establishments of
instruction, or Of education without
previous license, save the inspection
Of the competent authority for reasons
of health and morality"
The same mail that brings the above
constitution brings reports of Protes-
tant meetings held at Seville, showing
that the change is something more than
on parchment.

A Beautiful Compliment to Woman.

DR.. Samuel Henry Dickson, Of South
Carolina, one ofthe Professors in Jefftr.
sou Medical College in Philadelphia, in
addressing the recent graduates of that
institution. paid tho following beautiful
compliment TO woman, which we know
every woman will appreciates
1t has ciien been remarked that the
physician. above all other men, should
be a gentleman and man Of honor. I
ayow myself as one Of hose who hold in
profound reverence "the grand old name
Of gentleman" whether it represent tho
chivalrous knight Of the ancient legends,
the Bayard without fear and withou,
rcproach--or the madman Of Cervantes
the peerless Don Quixote the hero Of
Thackerary's charming fiction, tho dear
old Colonel Newcome the bright poet,.
cal picture of noble King Arthur, as
drawn by Tcnnyson, or The glorious
statuesqne model Of history, Sir Phillip
Sidney; and l regard honor as the
bright. fragrant flower Of morality and
virtue. Our profession is one of the
highest and most sacred trusts, which To
violate must entail all the penalties OF
the basest treachery. Our relations
with our patients. and especially with
women, arc inexpressbly confidential
and delicate, and afford US opportunities,
which should never be disregardcd, ol
sustaining the feeble and protecting
those who need sympathy and help
whose faces we should not permit the
winds of heaven to visit too rough
ly."
Depend upon it that in proportion as
you fulfill such duties in tho domestic
circles where you are received as a
guardian and guide, will be Jour future
success. | am proud to say that large
part OF the purcst happiness have en-.
joycd in my checkered course las re-.

with women, and ihe close and valua-
bic friendship originating therein. 1t

News REGARDING CUBAN ArrIRs-
THE MARY LOWELL SEIZURE DENoNNc-
ED GRANT WANTS WAR.-The Lon
don papors of the 2lst, comment very
freely on the present state of affairs
in Cuba.
The Telegraph, a ministerial organ, !,
moderate in tone, says that in regard
to the independence Of Cuba, England
is unbiased, but at the same timo nd. 3.
mits that England's interests can be
best subserved by Spain retaining hor
authority in the island. The article
does not say, however, that in any case
it should be the business Of Eugland
to interfere and eudeavor to prevent
Cuban independence, but it maintains
that the good Offices Of England might
prove useful to avert quarrel be-
tween Spain and America. 1t desig.
mates the seizure of the ship Mary
Powell as a mad act, implioating Eng
land, Spain's best FREUD unless the
latter country offers reparation for the
insult. The article then goes on to
argue that the Cubaus can never vii.
ling y attach themselves to the United
States.
The London OIL of this evening
also has its say On Cuban matters. It
argues that President Grant has been
mad on the subject of Cuba, aud
thinks that England and France would
declare war if America attempts to
wrest the island from Spuin. Grant,
says the Owl, longs for foreign war,
knowing, he does, that tho feeling at
present porvading American officials is
one of intense hatred to England end,
thoug h in o less degree, to France.
1t is stated that in day or two a
yacht will be despatched from here to
Cuba, on mission from the govern
ment, to ascertain the exact position
of affairs there.
The belief is that heavy storm is
brewing which may yet OCCASION much
trouble.

TIE LONDON TINES ON THE ALAnA.
MA NEGoTIATIoNs.-The Times IN its
leader on the 9th speaks in n very flat
tcring tone Of the prospects of the ap-
poin'ment of Mr.. Motley as Minister to
tho Court OF ST. James. The conclusion
OF the article alluded to is MS follows:
1t is great thing, however, to feel
ourselves dcmonstraLly in the r,ght.-
This country has gone to the extreme
OF concession in the matter of the Ala
bama Claims. II has agreed to refer
everything except its own honor to the
arhitrnt,nn and IN tho judgement OF -
mixed commission. 1t has agreed to
give Americans who profess to have
been wrongcd every opportunity to as
sert their claims by providing that the
Commission shall hold Its si,,ings At
Washington. Except absolute submis-
SION to every deman;i The Americans
may choose 10 make there is nothing
further that could have been conceded.
The Convention. in which all this is
stipulated. has been tho work of their
own Minister anu their own Secretary
OF State, and has received the assent of
their own President. II they now set
it aside our duty will simply DO to alb
stain altogether from further ovorturcs
and let amy proposals for n renewal Of
negotiations proceed from the Ameriea an
Government AS for that downright
demand for payment which our Asc.i.
can correspondent describes as being ad
vocatcd IN the United States, this coun.
try, wonld, OF course, know how 10 treat
it; but we have not the smallest belief
that President Grants government ccn-
tcmplntesn course IF action so unfricnd-
" and offensive. 1t is more likely that
assuming tho present convention to be
sot aside, Mr.. Motley will be instructed
to open negotiations for another, differing
somewhat in machinery, but embodying
similar principles. Should this bo the
case our government will be ready to
give tho proposals fair consideration.
Should it, OIL the other hand, be tho de.
SIRE OF the Americans to keep the ques.
ton still unsettled. the British nation,
having fully manifested its good disposi,
ton, will not feel bound, however, to
initiate fresh negotiations. In any case
we shall welcome Mr.. Motley, not only
as an old friend, but as one who has the
confidence OF really powerful Exccu-,
tive and one of the most powerful politi.
cas party lii tho United States.
