Madison street to-day reflects to a GER
tain extent the movement in the princi-
pal branches of trade, and scarcely any
thing is doing excepting the usual daily
checking and depositing, The demand
for money is limited, and discount rates
remain steady at 10 to II per cent. at
bank, and IL to p per cent. per month
on tie street.
Exchange is inactive, with exceed
ingly light offerings and limited de-
mand. The buying rate over the coun-
ter is par on eastern and northern
points, and : to &c discount on New Or
leans. In selling ic premium is the rate
for the former, and par to ] discount for
the latter. But one transaction is re-
ported between banks, and that was
$4,000 at 81 premium per $1,000.
There is scarcely any coin Offering,
and light purchases of gold only being
at lll!. Hfs

Mr.. Kelley, had his arm broken in two
places, and received several other inju-
ries of dangerous character. Null
lens, after running over the boy, drove
off as fast as possible, without waiting
to inquire as to the extent of the inju-

This was heartless in the extreme. To

Puni.hment of a wouId.be Suicide

Punishment of u wOuId-be Suicide.
In London, England, the would-be
suicide is always arrested and fined
more often impnsoned). 1t is quite
prosaic, and we'll calculated to restore
man or woman to rational views of life,
to be fshed cut of the water by police
man and carried to the station-house,
where the individual can rest, instead of
at the bottom of the Mississippi. This
treatment takes both the liquor and
nonsense out of man. In England, if
the man is insane, the court makes
proper disposition of his case with
view to his cure. Suicide should be re-
garded as a felony, and its attempt
should be punishable. People should
be taught that they do not wholly belong
to themselves, and that the State has
something to say about their taking
their lives. The recovery of bodies and
burial Of many suicides are in the ma
jority of cases done at the expense Of
the State, and the State should not en-
courage such taxes upon its resources.
Even the public welfare is in many ways
endangered by allowing people to kill
themselves at pleasure suicides often
assuming an epidemic type, unless
checked and its attempt punished.

Whilst many are revolving in their minds

to submit what appears to his mind to be
the most appropriate.
lst. Suspend, for the present, the subject OF
non-payment OF taxes.
I'd. Petition the Congress Of the United
States to remit South Carolina to a territorial
government, unless it can and will correct the
evils in the administration Of the State Gov
ernment. Let petitions be circulated through
every township, and the names of every tax
payer, with the amount Of taxes paid, be pro-
cured thereon, sustaining the action of the
convention in the premises.
Sd. Let q committee be appointed whose
business it shall be to- proceed to Washington,
during the next session of Congress, and lay
the action OF the convention and all the petit
t,ons before the President, the Senate and the
House of Representatives, and urge, with all
the means at their command, an early and
favorable consideration thereof.
4th. II this should all fail, and corruption
go on gathering strength amongst the officials
of this State, then let the convention meet
again. Very respectfully,
