The PROPOSED STATE CONFERENCE.-THE
Charleston Daily Republican makes the follow
ing comments upon MIR. Memmingers PROPOSE
ton to hold State Convention:
The suggestion Of the Hon. G. Ct. Memmln-
ger for State Convention, as detailed IN his
letter to Gov. Scott, is widely discussed, many
people seeming to think that it affords good
deal of hope for a relief from some of our diff
fculties.
It is impossible TO have Convention which
would actupon Mr.. Me1ominger's suggestion rel
ative to the elective franchise, namely, that it
should depend upon ability to read and pay
a tax, for even if such regulation were con-
stitutional land We believe it clearly unconsti-
tutional) still the people would not give up
the priceless privilege and power of the ballot,
as indeed they ought not-for the ballot is
their defence-for without this they would be
weak indeed and yet We favor the call OF a
Convention, because we see in this the posi-
bility Of reaching some of the evils which tear
the State. This Convention would not be after
the model of this man or the other, but it
would be the supreme Convention Of the peo-
pie. Such Convention could not, as We be-
tieve, constitutionally touch the privileges
wrapped up in the ballot, but it could knock
away much Of that which is wrong in our po-
litical structure.
We favor the call for a Convention for many
reasons, all of which We have not time to state,
but chief of which are, first, that Convention
would be sort of safsty-yalve for the tremen-
dous head of steam in our political boiler; Sec
ond that it would provide for securing some Of
the safeguards in financial administration which
are imperatively demanded; and third, that it
would represent the aoh0le people, whereas the
Reconstruction" Convention represented only
a part, for the simple reason that the great body
of the whites foolishly refused to have anything
to do with it.
In favoring call for Convention, we are
not unmindfnl of the Convention which Tennes.
see held, and through which the Republicans of
that State lost so many of their rights and priv
ileges. However, the game of Tennessee, we
believe, cannot be played in South Carolina.
The Republicans here are sufficiently powerful
and sufficiently trained in political affairs to
guard themselves and yet give justice to the
Democracy in Convention.

DRESS AND HEALTH.-The tight waists, the
low necks to dresses and the high-heeled shoes
are most flagrant abuses, and ought not to be
longer tolerated. We shall not quarrel with
the little iaunty hats Of the ladies, for they are
indeed pretty and no harm results from them,
as of all parts of the body the head needs the
least clothing. But, to pass to the other ex-
trenity. we have to say that the detestable
HIGH heels to boots and shoes, running as they
do almost to point, are spelling the gait and
ruiuing the ankle-joints of children and young
misses. We are careful to order our shoema-
kers to remove such heels from shoes before
permitting them to be brought into our dwell
ing. Heels of moderate height and good
breadth are of great service in elevating the
feet SO SIS to avoid direct contact with moist
earth, and they also give support and aaa nr%-
ness to the step. Why should Fashion push
GOOD devices to absurd extremes? We must
aid in dethroning the tyrant when her DEGREES
Lead To. the physical or moral injury of the
race The present fashion of leaving the neck
and the upper part of the chest bare is fraught
with evil consequence. 1t would be less OBJ
;ectionable in countries uniformly warm; but
that our daughters, here in the frigid and
chanqeable climate, should constantly expose
to the chilling winds vital part of the body,
ia one of the evils of fashion which should be
discountenanced by every mother, and father
and brother. No part of the dress of man is
really more absurd than the hard ''stove-pipe"
hat 80 generally worn and yet all attempts to
subvert it have proved abortive. For thirty
wears we have worn this kind of head covering,
and we like it better than any other; we have
tried hard to like the low, soft hats, but we
cannot; and this is the experience of thou
sands. Absurd as the high hard hat is, 1t does

NEGRO DEBTs.-The Sumter Watehma,a,
alluding to the extra Court at that place by
which the docket was being cleared of accu-
mulated rubbish, says:
From this rubbish, too, under recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court of this State, de-
claring their legality, was resurrected apile OF
negro bonds-or obligations given for the pur-
chase of negro property. The announcement
that Judgment in these cases should be entered
up without argument or plea, came like a
thunder-clap. The public mind had generally
settled down under the impression that this
class of old debts was dead and especially
was it believed that no action or decision con-
trary thereto would come from the existing ju-
dicial authorities in this State representing, as
they do, party whose soul and life has been
derived from the obliteration and utter annihi-
lation of every remaining vestige OF slavery,
either in its principles or practices, or tangible
form.
We cannot but deprecate this addition to the
terrible load of financial difficulty under which
the people now groan. Eaten up with taxes,
pressed and behind with obligations for agri-
cultural and domestic supplies, distress and
ruin staring the country in the face, it was to
have been hoped, that, at this time at least, we
would have been spared this. We do not be-
lieyc that the plaintiff parties to these debts
wish to stir up and increase the distress of the
country at this time; and, in our opinion,
these debts cannot or should not be made valid
until such time (if that time ever Gomez when
the Government of the United States shall de-
termine upon some compensation for the whole
slave property of the country destroyed, or OBJ
liberated in the results Of the war.
1t is believed that this matter must 90 to the
Supreme Court of the United States. If that
Court sustain the decision of the Supreme
Court of this State, then the principle that
slave property should be paid for will have
been admitted and declared and hence, OF ne
cessity, the Government having destroyed that
property, is the source from which payment
for it should come. Then, and not until then,
may citizen righteously call upon citizen for
payment. This seems to US inevitable.

The RIGHT TALK.--The Milledgeville (Ga.)
Federal Union opens its batteries upon the Radi-
cal party in the following vigorous style:
It is time that General Grant and Congress,
and the whole Radical party, should know and
realize that the white people of the South new
er will tamely submit to negro domination.
They are perfectly willing that the negro shall
have all Of his civil rights and privileges, but
to peaceably submit to negro rule and negro
tyranny is what need not be expected of the
white race of the Southern States as long as q
man, woman or child, of the old race, survives.
And there is another thing which they may as
well learn now as later. Not all of thesoldiers
of the United States army can compel the
white men of the South to vote for General
Grant for President. By means of carpet-bag
Governors, of United States Marshals, backed
up by the United States army, they may ma
nfpulate the ballot boxes, 80 as to count out o
Radical victory in some of the States where the
negro element greatly predominates; all of
these appliances can't win victory for Gen
eral Grant in Virginia, North Carolina, Geor-
gia OF Alabama and what will they do about
it7 More reconstruction will do no good, 1t
only makes things worse. United States SOL
diers at the polls will do no good, they have
been tried and failed. The Radicals must Ell
ther take the right of voting from the white
race or let them vote as they please. We be-
lieve God gave us this fair land for an inheri.
tance, and we are determined that the devil
and all his imps shall not take it from us.

A lady in London somehow got the idea
into her head that the devil was in her, and
went to the cupboard and hung herself: If
women go to hanging themselves for little
thing like that, they are going to be mighty
scarce, that's all.
