They have but little idea OF its deieat IN
the Convention or In the Courts, Dut ex-
pect 70 fight simply as matter OF form.
The chief fight OF the colored delegates
will be to have the entire Constltntlon
submitted back to tbs people for ratlhca-
5tion. They have an ldea tnat tols can %
done, and, with q heavy negro vote, that
the work OF the Convention may Dc NULL
fled. twill, however, not take the, Con-
yention long to settle this delusive fancy.
# One Of the prettiest fights or the Con-
vention was that which led 70 the aoop-
ton Of the provision that no divorces
shall ever be- granted in South Carolina.
The aiyOcates Of divorces for adultery
made 8 igallant but fruitless tight, but the
Convention took the position that 1t would
perhaps be better for South Carolina II the
oates were kent closed and no induce
manta were offered fer the divorce advo-
cafes Of the future. Senator Tillman and
others tried to have the Convention, after
It hadl declared against divorces, make
some provision for the recognition OF d.
.vorces granted In other States or partles
married in South Carolina, but the Con-
yentlon took the position that once mar,
ried always married, ana tne Coutts anu
The Convention have conspired together
10 forever bar the doors against divorces
for this State. Some Of the prettiest
,neeches that will be, made during the
nroeress of the Convention were made
npon this matter. MIR. Patton, Of Rich
land, and Messrs. Henderson and Farrow
took opposite positions, and their speeches
were very strong. -.
Delegate Smalls, the notorious coiore9
member from Beanfort, snougnt ne nao
the Convention in hole day or Two ago.
Some of the members did not like the
awkwardness Of the position, but Senator
Tillman soon had an amendment MAKING
mlscegenation crime, which was made
to suit the occasion and which had to sat
isfy the colored members, who had their
resolution before the Convention more
for effect than for practical results,
