This report gave rise to a heated aud per-
sonal discussion, in which the various con-
testsnts, especially from the city wards, In.
duleed In unlimited abuse of the committee
and. of each other. Sheriff Mackey moved to
adopt 80 much of the report as applied to non-
contested delegations, and that the delegates
thus admitted constitute the convention dur
ing the temporary session. This very sensible
proposition was adopted, AID all persons. e1-
cept the n%on.contesting delegates, were re-
uuired to leave tue hall, alter which the pro-
ceedtlgs were conducted with some approach
to decorum.
Sheriff Maekey then moved that, as the
report; Of the previous committee on creden-
tisis had given dissatisfaction to many dele
gates, a new committee be appointed, consist
iug.of- one from each non-contested ward and
parish; to report upon the varlous contests.
This motion was also adopted, and the chair
man made the following appointments as the
new committee on credentials: Ward l, q. L.
Bentford; Ward 4. VIM. Vanderhcrst; Ward s,
B. W. Nelson; Ward 6, Paul Holmes; Ward s,
3, L. Richardson; Ward 7, Sanre! Perrlnean;
81. james Goose Creek, Mask Williams: st.
Johns Berkeley. Thomas Evlns; st. Stephens,
8. Fraser; st. Andrews, @. Gibbs; Christ
Church, VIM. Murrell; EdIsto, Jonas Grant.
The chairman had hardly concluded the
reading of the m when W. G. Plnckney,
the ssantee orator, jumped to his feet and ex-
cltedly detained against the omission of his
name. He denounced the appointment ofthe
committee as q rascally trick of the chairman,
and demanded q representation from his
beloved Santee. The name Of Plnckney was
added to the committee, and peace was sgain
restored.
The committee then retired, and, after a
long interval of waiting, Sheriff Mackey stated
that the delegation from Ward 2, which had
been favorably reported upon by the original
committee, and which he said was clearly the
1egidmately elected delegation, had agreed,
for the sake of peace and the success of the
party, to retire and allow their rivals to be
seated, II they should be allowed a few min
utes, to explain their action. This announce
ment was applauded, and the selt.sacrihclng
delegates were invited to speak, whereupon
T. H. Jones, Prlmus Green and &c. Baker
rose:to explain and said that they believed
that they had been duly elected aud had a
right to be seated, but would. withdraw to
facilitate business, and in the general inter-
ests of peace and harmony. These patriotic
sentiments were again applauded, and the
speakers we're, upon motion, admitted to seats
upon the floor. g.
On motion OF Sheriff Mackey, the following
committee on permanent organization was
appointed By the chairman: Rev. E. J..
Adams, 8. Brown, Charles Yanderhorst, John
8. Thorne and H. c. Minott. This committee
retired, and after a brief absence reported the
names Of the following permanent officers,
who were duly elected and Installed with the
customary interchange OF courlesies: Presl.
dent. W. q. W. Gray; vice-president, P. P.
Hedpes: secretaries, Alfred Bernard and john
