The confusion was at times fearful.
The body is generally. declared to have
been the most disorderly gathering of
white people ever seen in this State. The
Columbia Register says that throughout
the discussion on the appointment of the
committee on credentials "the floor of the
convention presented scene of eonfound-
ed confusion of which no words of descrip.
.tion can convey the slightest conception
to the mind of the reader.
."The entire force OF the minority were
on their feet nearly all the tins, each in
diyidual member adding his own voice to
that of the clear resonant tones OF j. Q.
Haskell, who was leading the discussion
and whose voice could be heard above the
din and clamor around him. Occasion.
ally the loud voices of A. T. Smythe and
g. l.. Buist would sound out while Weber
violently fourishing his walking cane in
the direction of the chair, and Gonzales,
and Upper and Adger Smythe and a
score others grouped together under the
Speakers stand, were yelling out their
motions and protests in a chorus, which
mingled in one general diapason of noise
and confusion.
'tBut all this vas as gentle music to the
noise made by the big crowd on the other
side, which, led by the stentorian tones
of DR.. Pope, ably assisted by J, L Irby,
with the voices of the two hundred and
seventy performers fresh from their
training on the hustings. All were
shouting, hurrahing and stamping at the
same time with just enough of cessation
to permit the voice of the speakers and
the chairman to be occasionally heard. +"
