in the bill OF that dove these three
words, namely, Liberty, Justice, Fra

in support OF his motion, aud was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Middebrook, who said
that with all due Difference TO the gen.
tleman, she should oppose the idea o;
the dove; she did not believe there
would be any peace until equal liberty
was given 10 women with the men,
and she continued, II swear 10 you

Mr.. Joslyn OF Rhode Island, also
favored the Goddess OF Liberty.
Seven. tenths OF the people Of New
York pay rents which are exorbitant
The peaceable way for these people
was, when the proper time arrived, TO
refuse TO pay these rents. That was
revolutionary. Well, let it be SO, and
let them take the bayonet, il need be, to
enforce their rights. A lady here at
tempted 10 compromise. She said {,
Il propose we have both the goddess
aud the dove. Have the dove sitting
on the lett shoulder OF the goddess,
with the words in her bill which the
gentleman proposes.
The question being taken, the
amendments were lost aud the original
motion adopted. An attempt was
then made to Introduce a total abstI-
nence resolution, but this was opposed
10y Maddox OF Maine, aud finally laid
on the table. The afternoon session
was but slimly attended. Mr.. Banks
had announced at the close OF the
morning session that Maddox OF Maine,
had some pet scheme OF finance to pro-
pose.
Judge Carter was ready to trump
Maddoxs lead with the following rcso-
luton:
Rcsolved, That knowing as We
do that the people are just, and that
they do not deare that all the burden OF
the labor and expense in this cause
shall fall upon the devoted few, the
National and Central Executive Com
mittee are instructed TO issue bonds,
bearing no interest, and payable when
the people succeed in regaiuing pos
session of the Government, AMI that
these bonds will be issued only for the
necessary expenses OF this campaign.
The resolution WAS adopted unaHl-
mously, and then Mr. S. NJ Shaw, OF
Providence, Rhode Island, opened the
ball by saying; 81 am a wOrkingnan;
never earned more than $500 per day,
but | will take 500 worth OF bonds. At
the evening session no business was
transacted, the time being occupied with
ten-minute speeches, the sexes alterna-
ting. Most Of those who spoke barely
got through the introduction Of what
they had 10 say when the ten.mnute
gag remorselessly cut them short and
they retired disgusted. At late hour
but before halt had spoken that wished
to do so, the convention adjourned Sine

MUSIC ON THE BRAIN.
A Stairway Falls Through-siI Men
and O Piano Come Down-Casualties
sc.

About twelve O'Clock, on Saturday, six color
ed men, found about King street, were called
into the building No. $50 King street to assist
in bringing down from the second story
large plano belonging to fam lily who were
about to move. The first story of the build
ing is occupied by the "Bg Boot" establish
ment, and the men were obliged to bring the
piano down fight OF steps in che passage
way on the side. They got 1t into the passage
way, and were about to descend, but, as soon
as their full weight came upon them, the
stairs gave way with crash, and the Six men
holding the unwieldy instrument were, togeth-
er with their burden, hurled to the floor below.
One of the men, powerful black fellow,
named Joe Mitchell, was beneath the instru-
ment supporting 1t with his back. 1t came
down upon him like dead-fall from height
Of twelve feet, and he was taken out insensi-
BILE. His body was placed on a spring cart
and sent to his home in VEINS Court, with
hardly hope of his recovery. Yesterday,
however, he seemed to be doing well. Geo.
Washington, another of the ak, received Q,
severe blow on the head from the piano, but
escaped slightly stunned and badly cut. He
soon recovered and went to work. Another
of the party had his left arm injured, and all
the rest were more OF lese bruised. The
plano fell the height Of one story, fully twelve
feet, and, though apparently not much Injured
on the outside, was considerably damaged.

Dan Ricefs Circus.

All the orphan children attended the alter
noon performance Of Dan Rices Circus on
Saturday. The little ones, as may be supposed,
were hugely delighted. At night, the veteran
manager returned thanks to the Charleston
public for their kind patronage Of his ''great
moral show" and especially thanked Assist

and courtesy. A:tsr the performance, the

The Grand Tournament
which seemed 30 distant few days back, is
looming up in grand proportions as the ap-
pointed time draws near. Saturday the en-
terpri:ing managers consulted the officers OF
the South Carolina Jocky Cub, and from them
obtained permission to use the race track and
grounds for the two days required. The prin-
cipal obstacle has thus been done away with,
BIZ the kindness of the Jochy Club, and all
that now remains is for the horses to be
trained, the knights to burnish their armor,
and practice their chargers in readiness for
the racing on Tuesday, and the tournament
on Wednesday. A number Of knights are ex-
pected from the country, and with their
practiced horsemanship will give even Gen.
