Mr. ind Agency of Senator Hill and Foity-two eB. ex-Confederate Representatives--A ic- ' Voluntary Pledgenmooi Themselves od- to Oppose all Attempts to Frastrute ery the Count?The Motive ot the exConfederates the Prevention of Auother War. YF_ Special to <Ae New York Timts* |av Washington, June 0.?Sonator Bon Hill, I of Georgia, made some highly interesting iaJ* statements to-day, respecting tne most imints portant events that transpired during the nf thd (VimmlKKion. and us. which throw new light upon the history of , that critical period. The conversation orIgi, nated througn an allusion to the resolution less introduced in the Senate yesterday, by Senator Spencer, one o? the avowed objects of ere which is to Investigate Into and expose the or_ proceedings of what Is known as tha{'Worm? ley Hotel conference." A passing reference J to this political gathering is, perhaps, neccssary in order to maintain the continuity of The this narrative. As tho story goes, a few Rents publicans, friends of Mr. Hayes, who were on cognizant of his purposes, met by appolntJ mentan equal number of Southern DemoFea crats at Worm ley's Hotel In this city. It was ore during the height of the excitement pending ap- the last days ot the Presidential count, when ,id- a dead-lock seemed Inevitable and all sorts hp ?r alarming rumors were In circulation. The Democrats who participated in the conference ne" claimed, as alleged, to have It In their power m- to prevent the completion of tho Electoral of count, and were willing to withdraw all opise position to such completion if tho friends of ' Mr. Hayes would guarantee that when he bccame President the Federal troops would be the withdrawn from Louisiana and South Caroliere na, and that such other measures would be the adopted as would secure the dissolution of ,n(? the Packard and Chamberlain governments " and the establishment of those of Nlcholls * R and Wade Hampton. The Republicans, in ist, consideration of a completion of the count ree being permitted, agreed to the terms propoI sed by the Democrats. Both parties to the ian negotiation exchanged pledges satisfactory to * cach other, and in pursuance of this arrangeto ment the count was completed, Mr. Hayes was go inaugurated, and the changes in the State hut Governments of Louisiana and South Caroli* t na effected. . Up to this time the power 6f the Democrats lel" who took part in the Worinley conference to to have prevented the completion of the olectoial count has been undisputed, and the credit for nes defeating the filibustering movement in the tf) House has been generally attributed to them. . Senator Hill, however, emphatically and unS1" equivocally denies that the agreemententered too into at the Wonnluy Hotel conference had the any bearing upon tue pcaceablc solution of led the Presidential problem. He states that the I Democrats who participated in theconierence 1 o did so without a shadow of authority from anybody, and without consultation with their S party colleagues. It was purely the gratuitous, Irresponsible act of a few men who had controlled no votes in the House exocpt their own, and who did not have it in their power . to fulfill the agreement it is alleged they > made. Senator Hill authorizes the statement that in his opinion the Democrats who parser tlclpated in the Wormley conference could !nv have had no other object in view than a deJ itwi f/% ntitnin YiAtnHotv fco fur from hftviiiirl m0 influenced the action of tho House, Senator as HU1, to use almost his own words, said to the be Times correspondent: "I am now about to jn reveal to you the dim outlines of what will some day form cue of the most patriotic . page* In American history, and after I conelude my brief narrative you will know Just the how much Influence this so-called Worm Icy me conference had In atrectlne tho result of the ow Electoral count. When the decision of the Electonil Commission In the Florida caso be3"" came known, I became satisfied that the dis! puted ytutes would be decidod In favor of ue Hayes, and that the issue which would preselt ently confront us would be the legal inauguKg ration of Mr. Hayes as President, or another . revolution. 1 consulted with a few e.\-Con,us federates, all members of the House of Hepicn resen tall ves, and the situation was thoroughph ly and earnestly discussed. Not to enter into on unnecessary details, we, who had Just emeraj. ped from a ruinous aud disastrous war and . I1UU ?pc[it;iiu;u IU> luuvw?nv lot ex-rebels determined to prevent a second he civil war and spare the counUsy from all the oil terrible horrors that wouldattcnd it. According ingly, forty-two ex-L'onfederates solemnly pledged themselves to each other upon their , , sacred honor to opjjose all attempts to frus'*'* trutc the counting of the votes for President me and Vice-President. Wo held no caucus nor nd no meeting. I called upon cach gentleman personally and obtained his signature to a , paper that I presented to hiin, conducted the n(1 movement with the greatest caution, for we ny did uot desire Our plans should be even sushe pecUd. You may Judge how well the secret Did lias beeii kept when ithas remaiucil inviolate |P? to this day. Having disclopcd those fucts, J you can now determine what degree of importance to attach to the Influence exercised itr- by the iMjmocrAtlc memberti oftheWormley >ut conference upon the result of the Electoral las coV">t. The forty-two ex-Confederale Congressmen had pledged themselves to abide by ,* tne decision of the Electoral Commission ine several weeks before the Wormley conference ice took place, so that, despite the sensational [n- rumors that filled the air, toward the'closcof in- the count, there never was the remotest possibility of trouble. We held the balance of "K power, and did not propose to permit another Ilu war if our votes could prevent ifc" Being asked for his opinion of the Potter Inny vestlgiuion. Senator Hill said that he was in favor of eliciting ull tlie facta tending to csi tabllwh fraud, wherever perpetrated or by *ttI whomsoever committed; but there it would Che end. The Presidential title would not be disair turbed, nod nothing would be done, except what was Just and legal. He, personally, did ftr not bellevo that President Hayes was in any I manner conuect?d with any frauds or lrregularities. On tlie contrary, he thought he was ine an honest, pure and upright man. "If anynd body attempts to inaugurate a revolution," ,v. said Senator Hill, in cou'ilusion, "tlie ex,1_ rebels will put It down. Wo will not allow ?y iu" er>ty The Bank of the State Bills* Bp_ To the Editor of the Ncios and Courier: intj I am a bolder of some of these bills, anil have therefore read with interest the cotnmunl cat ion in Tuesday's paper signed "'Civls," tne who, although u lawyer, gives h!s opinion unre asked and withouta fee, for which we ought rigs to be grateful. I in La"t year wc werc ,o1d ,hat the billholdcrs did not embarrass tbe government by offering the bills for tuxes the Legislature ' would inalce some suitable provision. With . great forbearance the holders refrained from ><t paying their taxes in the bills as they bad a clear legal right to do, but instead of making bo- satisfactory provision for thein the Legislar0i. ture did nothing until at the heels of the session they passed a sort of omnibus bill, by which they could be funded on the same had terms with all kinds of Bonanza claims into nee a deficiency bond at one-half their lace, wa? which bond will probably not be worth the paper on which it Is printed. . Now bccausc taxpayers arc exercising their rcn legal right to pay their taxes in bills which ved the charter or the bank declared receivable fter for taxes, and which the highest courts of the land have declared to be so receivable, the iinn attempt is made to "bulldoze" them Intosubiiuu mnting to injustice.

I have asked lawrin vers whether that could be done, and have his been told that there Is not a single case In al don 1 thela^b where a State has availed^t ?u. self of 6uch a dUreputauie aeicnce. im? lj State has suffered great Indignities, and dur' "fs lng the last few years has done some very dlsling creditable things, but nothing quite so bad as to that. I am Informed that Attorney-General ays Melton. In one of the cases before the SuaVs preme Court a few years ago. In which he was J, assisted by Col. Rlon and Mr. Youmans, did ;rea present the question, but It was abandoned tor- because it was believed to be untenable; and the I am told that by the act passed last year it is provided that if the bills are proved to he - * genuine and not Issued In aid of the Rebellion f'1 and not before tendered for taxes, they shall tne he receivable for taxes. Now, it is said, that >ns' this act was prepared by Gen.

The last Legislature provided that these 145,) blllB should be received In redemption of for(50,) felted lands; and lam told by lawyers Jn whom I have confidence, that these acts are ? 6uch a recognition of the bills as would pre. vent a plea of the Statute of Limitations, and ?ea that such a plea could not be pleaded aguinst !eep the bills proved in the Dabney-Morgan case, I. where the State was a party,and where It was *uG solemnly decided that such bills were genu. lne and valid, and receivable for taxes. But, a Mr. Editor, I did not take up my plea to dlsers; cuss a legal question with "Civls."

Judge Kershaw then responded In substance ns follows: FeUow*Cilitem and Gentlemen o] the Band While I appreciate most highly this kind I ami hiiriiif lnil ?>mnllm(int Whif.il VOU UftV 1I1C. and while no one fias a higher love of music, or enjoys listening to its strains beneath the sliver light of yonder moon as they come to the ear upon the breezes fresh from your mountain cllute, and as I realize with gratitude the kind ardor which prompts you In this demonstration, I must confess that I urn embarrassed in making my acknowledgments to you. But when I accepted the ofllce of Judge, which your representatives bestowed upon me, I decided to ucccpt an my mentors the Willtnera. O'Neuls, wardlaws, Harpers and others, wlio adorned the Bench, and did not seek applause by public speaking, On this subject 1 am reminded of tlie maxim of Lord Coke, who said a much-spealting Judge is an ill-tuned cymbal. I am an old matt now, but I can yet appreciate the beauties of the quartette, moonlight, music, love aud flowers, and while I enjoy the others to-night I will leave the other, love, to you young men. After more music, Col. Cotbrnn was called for, and was Introduced by Dr. Dlvver jib the coming man of upi?er South Carolina. Col. Cothran said : My friends, I am here; and I havo never seen the summer moon and stars shine brighter, I have never heurd the music bound sweeter, Sirs, Oothran's fried chicken bus never tasted better, and I have never seen the Democracy In better heart.. The party Is at work, and there is a prospect of better times. But ukar is the enemy ? Wo are ready to meet him. In February last I supposed we would have had our war paint on and the campaign have been opened before this, but everything is calm and serene. We are having it all our own way, but remember to keep | your powder dry. The enemy may organise 111 an hour, and we will need the etfort of lt>76 n<rn.ln I h.ive rwi 1.1ml af Inslnc what We have gained. It cost too much labor, time, enthusiasm and human courage. The colored people are sitistied. Peace and low prices pre; vail, and ail South Curolina ought to be Democratic. The party then repaired to the residence of Maj. John B. Moore to serenade Gen. MoGowan. In response to the calls for Gen, McGowan, iUHj, JUI1I1 D, mvnjlt' 14'{JCUI CU, iVUU c.\i/n.-nc?vu gratification nt the compliment tendered to (Jon. McGowan, and salu that two years ago we achieved a glorious victory; that It was now our duty to main tain It, and that It gave liim pleasure to introduce to the audience a man who did as much to achieve the victory of 187U as any other man in South Carolina, Ocn. Samuel McGowan.* After prolonged applause, Gen. McGowan responded by thanking them for the compliment paid him, and said that lie always looked forward to a pleasant time In Anderson whenever lie came, because onr people Invariably receivehlni with courtcsy and kindness and hospitality. The campaign lias not opened yet, but we are mustcringour strength for the coming battle. We do not know yet what issues we will have to meet, but in Abbeville wc nre acting on the motto of the rifleman who advised another whoso gun missed fire to pick his flint and try It again. Wc remembcrthat in lb76, when we were struggling to free ourselves, how the men of Anderson fioured down into Abbeville to assist in arousng enthusiasm and courage. We were weak then, and needed assistance, but we arc not so now. In fact, I think the opposition have about given up the tight in Abbeville, and that wo will liave no conflict, so if you need it, we will roll back to the mountains the wave of assistance and Influence which you poured down on us two years ago. when the proper time comes for your prlmajy election, go out and nominate your best and moist suitable men for otllce, especially the Legislature, without referencc'to whether they want it or not. Do not be governed by who Is mosti anxious or who has electioneered most. Select them because they are the proper men. Not bccause they want to serve, but because you want them to serve. Not bccanse you wish to honor them, but because you wish to take care of yourselves. When . you have done this, remain true io your party. Be united, ana \vc win nave sccurea oaraenvcrance for all time to come. We must bold what we have gained, or all of our past labor anil enthusiasm has been in vain. We cannot Afford to divide now, for to do so is to lose our splendid victory. It <-06t much of labor, of courage, of patriotism, and of splendid effort to give It up now. Wc will never do It. t DIED, at his residence, in AbbevIIlo county, Calhoun Township, on the 14th of June, Mr. John A. Mars, in the sevontv-seventh veur of hi? age. Born May 10th 1S02. Mr..Mara whs one of our oldest and one of our most respected and honored citizens. He was a member of the Masonic order for more than fifty years. Ho was interred with Masonic honors. The deceased was a man of moro than ordinary energy, and financoeiring ability, as was deinostmted by the handsome fortune accumulated in his lifetime. He was unbiased in his opinions, clear in his judgment, decided in his plans, aud bold in the execution of his purposes; yet, In his bearing towards others, he was courteous, and thoughtful of the rights of others in all his dealings. Frequently have we heard it said of him, e'er death struck the fatal blow, "An honest man" and we could not but add, "the nouiost worK 01 \jou. vv uuu u?itod if be could trust in Jesus Christ, the Savior of Sinners, even in the trying hour of death, his answer was quick and emphatic, "Yes, yes."
