August. 2<?.- When i Chancellor Johnson rapped thcStraight out Conference to order at U -15 to- j night the hall of llcpresciilat ives was j filled with conferees and the gallarins j with ladies. The delegates from other counties ami a small regiment from Richland had poured in through the' broad doorways for half an hour aud j were grouped compactly about, earnest-1 discussing the'situation. ^ At tho fall of the gravel there was a * scattering to a-ats. and in a few iniii utes comparative silence was obtained. ! Chancellor Johnson, from the Speak-! cr's stand, tin n spoke as follows: "This Conference is assembled in accord- i ance with the resolution adopted at the i July Conference, which was made conditional upon the August Convention not adopting the primary plan for making nominations. The ropiest for the primary made by this Conference in July was rc, fused, although it was embodied in the p'atform of the opposition. The resolution j was that the Conference would convene j again if that request lie refused. Although I we have been disappointed in our expeeta- j tion, and though the prospects of electing j as State officers men who have always honored their position?who have honored 1 lie State in alllier traditions-who have sustained the reputation of our host men?are not ? bright, and the probabilities now seem in favor of those who have maligned and abused her assuming the reins of government in this State, I am delighted that' this Conference lias come together to debute and ! see if anything can be done 1<> sustain the fair character of the State and those whom she lias heretofore trusted. ' 4^"!'trust that wisdom and prudence will chaiacterizc our deliberations, that we will do nothing which we may afterwards be ashamed of, or anything which will prevent us from rescuing South Carolina from the hands of those to whom we believe it will be a misfortune tocousigu her. The clerk will please read the call ior this Conference." Mr. W. II. (Jihbes, dr., the secretary, accordingly read the call issued by President Johnson sifter the adjournment ot the August State Convention. The Chair then requested each delegation to make up and send to the clerk's desk a roll of their members. Gen. John D. Kennedy, chairman of the advisory committee, and elected by the July Conference, then submitted tinreport of tlue w ork of the committee up to the present time, iiefore the read.ing of the report could lie begun Mr. Y Jos. *\V. Barnwell made a motion to go into secret sitfsipij. _ mj opposetcioc teawtty in tin* repot i with open doors. "11" we am to have a contest let our own people know what we are doing, but. not- our adversaries." Ho did not object so much to the papers of So dh Carolina publishing what the Conference would do, but tinproceedings would In- published all over the United states. General Kennedy?"The report of the committee only deals in general fact concerning t lie acts and doings of the committee?there is nothing secret. Let it be made public; it may hold up the hands of and give the touch oi ^lie elbow to the Straightouts." Mr. Barnwell?'* Wo can decide after it is read whether it should be published." General Kennedy- "I am opposed to a secret session of this Conference." Mr. Douglas of Kairllcld?'MI we mean to organize, wo must organize on the basis of common sense and common policy. 1 never heard of such a tiling as letting the enemy know our secrets. Nobody not in harmony with us must be in the hall. (Cheers.) Tbo Tillinanites are always opposed to open doors. We are not ashamed of what we do. but the best policy demands that the doors should be closed. With mailers once decided,let us go to tne State with a solid front."

Mr. Barnwell e\plane d that 1 hemes purpose was to prevent the publication of unauthorized matter and be Impel that tho mot ion to jro into secret session would prevail.

Southern Dciiiorrut It* ConurniKiiirn An H\ver to llio Call of tho Iloiito ami then Walk Otil lU'lnrc their <hiih's run ho Callt'il on llu* IViltliiiK Olioatloll. Washington, Aug. 2*5.?Tho House had up for consideration to-day the lard hill, which caused quite a discussion lor a while. The row began when Mr. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, demanded the regular order, and contended that the unfinished business was the Conger lard hill, the vote upon thf passage of which on Saturday was iie conclusive, owing to the absence of i quorum. V iv . . too..It.. Q...1 iL'y.a special orders there was a\iis.iW;H<iTnie given to each hill mentioned therein, and the time stated for the lard hi! had expired. Mr. llernert, ot Alabama, coitrovcited the position that tin1 lard bill had now the right of way. It had had its day in Court and had exhaust el all the time allotted l<> it. Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, hold the view that the lard bill was tiulinislmd business. The previous quest ion had been ordered and t he yeas and nays had been ordered on its passage. Mr. Crisp argued that the bill could not come up before the disposition of the lulls 011 the Speaker's tattle, even if it had been considered in regular order. rim Speftker decided that the question before the House was the roll call oil tin* passage of the bill. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, appealed from the decision. On sustaining the decision the vote stood?yeas 123, nays 23 ?110 quorum, and a call of the House was ordered: 182 members having responded to their names. Mr. llrosius moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call, upon which motion the opponents of the lard bill, in order to consume time, ordered the yeas and nays. The vote recurred on sustaining the j decision of the Speaker, but the quonun had melted aw ay. j Another call of the House brought another quorum, which in like manner I disappeared when the voting was rej sinned on sustaining the decision of ! the (.'hair. Mi- M.x'.fin nf UiocKcinm mnvnrl nn 1 adjournment with u view to reach some arrangement whereby the existing coiuht urn ol alTairs might he terminated. Lost?yeas III, nays 123. Mr. Cannon then olTered a resolution, reciting that twice to-day legislative proceedings have been interrupted by the want of a quorum; that certain members answered to tlutr names under the call, but did not respond on regular "i??11 calls, many of them leaving the hall so they could not be counted; that there was a large number of members absent v.-ithoe' directing the sergeant at armsTo immediately notify by telegraph all members absent, except those absent on account of illness, to return to Washington without delay, and revoking all leaves of absence except those on account ot illness. The following are the members | named in the preamble: Messrs. Andrew, Maker, Meekwith, Moatner, Carleton, Catchings, Chipman, Covert, Crane, Crisp, Cummings, Krtloe, Flower, Crimes, Hayes, Kitisey, Lawler, Lehibaeh, Lester of Ceorgia, McClammy. Moore of Texas, Morgan, Mutchler, O'Ferrall, Osborne, l'ugslcy, Haines, llobertson, Rowland, Seney, Shiveley, | Skinner, Spooner, Tillman, Turner of | Ceorgia, Turner of New York, Wallace, ! Washington, Wheeler of Alabama, i Whiting, Wilkinson, Willeox and Wil; limns of Illinois. Mr. Illount raised a point of order I against the resolution and entered his | protest against the preamble. That j preamble was an arraignment of every j member mentioned in it., strul its adODi tion wouid he a censure of those mem I hers. Tin; resolution relating to sendi ing lor absent members was, of course, I in order. It was in accordance with I tlic rules and practices of the House, but the preamble was a censure of certain gentlemeni and was without precedent in the House. There was nothing in the rules to justify such an outrage upon members upon this lloor. Mr. Cannon said that lu; offered the | resolution not for the purpose of censuring anybody. It recited two facts: l*ir>i. that the House had found itself without a quorum twice during the day: si coiul, t In-re had been t wo rails of I the House and that upon those calls more than a quorum responded, but that alter the proceedings were dispensed with the quorum could not be loiuid in the House, lie recited the farts for the purpose of showing the necessity for the adopt ion of the resolution, namely, that one moment the House had a quorum, and further, what was absolutely patent to everybody, that between the call of the House and the call of the roll members i?y the score disappeared into the cloak rooms and lobbies. Mr. ('rain, of Texas: "Have not llioy lbat right?" Mr. Cannon: "Have not ! the right to recite the fact and let their constituents judge ol their right ?" Mr. Vaux, ol 1'eiinsylvaiiia: "Have \ on t he right to impute motives? That is hot, iiic pail in ineiiiai'N power ol llie Iy in this House until tlie empire comes." [ A pplausc on the 1 )einocratir side.| Mr. Cram: "hid you not tlireaten to lock the doors and compel us to stay le re till ilie lull was fussed?" Mr. Cannon, not noticing the ?|ucs, tioii, saul that before this Congress eeiitleincii had lililm tcrcd, and hroken ipioriinis sittimr. Mr. I lower, of \ew York: "So did you.

[ Renewed applause.] Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, said that when the Conger committee convened !

(Laughter.] lie was one of the gentlemen named in this resolution, and he was proud of it. In the course lie had piurfuctLtn.'iy*1 be hud obeyed the men who o! >e vllieu i the gentleman from Illinois. Mr. Osborne, ljepublieau, of IVnnsylvanin, a great show of indignation, said that be understood his name was on the list, lie would say to the gentleman from Illinois that in putting his name on the list lie had I teen very much in error. He had been here since 1 i o'clock and had answered at every t I roll-call, lie had been here when the genial gentleman from Illinois hud not! been. | Laughter and applause on the Democratic side.] lie had been here and looked for the gentleman from Illinois and had not seen him, and why the gentleman should select him (Osborne) was more than he could understand, if, he continued, your record is to ho verified by this sort of thing, if there is less truth in it than is shown by your resolution here,then I pity you. [Laughter and applause.) Mr. Cannon explained that the list of names had been furnished by the clerks and the Speaker pro tein. (Mr. l'ayson <1V ?l-lil>n.l ?!?..? M- M.-Knrii.iV his name ha?l not been heard on account of the contusion.) Mr. Osborne insisted upon having the record corrected. This colloquy was carried on amid much Democratic laughter. Mr. Smith, of Illinois : "Is my name reported on tin*black list." |Laughter.| The Speaker pro to in : "The Chair is I not advised of any such list." Then lor a few moments there was great confusion in the House. Fully a dozen members were on their feet demanding recognition on a question of personal privilege and their efforts to secure such recognition were noisily seconded by their friends. Finally Mr. Crain, of Texas, was recognized, and he made, a vigorous protest against the, preamble. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, interrupted Mr. Crain with the point of order that Mr. Crain was not talking to a question of personal privileges. Mr. Crain turned bis attention to Henderson and said: "The chairman ol the committee on .appropriations1 must he in a sad pli?wit when be requires the assistance ol the able and liery gentleman from Iowa." , Daughter.] Mr. Henderson : "I will do what I please." Mr. Crain : "Von cannot bulldoze me personally or Uirou<rh-the chairman of the committee on appropriations. This is nothing but a petty species of bulldozing, the object being to threaten us in order to compel us to vote. 1 am responsible to my constituents alone. L went out of the chamber intentionally to avoid being counted as present and not voting. I even took my hat and umbrella away, because 1 have heard it asserted that the clerks and pages were sent to the cloak rooms to hunt up hats and umbrellas in order that the Speaker might count hats and umbrellas present and not voting. I Laughter. | I had the right to do that. I have the right to do that whenever I please. I ask the chairman of the committee on appro-J pnauous 11 no diii not in ronton me and I another member on thissido if we continuod to do what we were doing ho would see that the chamber was locked up and we were compelled to stay here as prisoners. "The charge was made," continued Mr. Crain, "that the Democrats of the South were depriving the negro of the right to vote and refusing to count his ballot when cast, hut no man iu the South had ever done, or attempted to do. what the speaker, backed by the majority, had done in this House, and that was to count the votes of men who actually had not voted. It was to avoid this that, the men who thought that the lard hill ought not to pass had gone out of the chamber." Mr. Henderson, of Indiana: "You stood by while the Lodge hill passed, and did not secede until the farmers' day came and then you sneaked out of the hall." [ Republican app!ause.| Mr. ('rain: "I represent as many farmers as you do. hut they are farmers who produce cotton seed oil, between which and pure lard there is no more comparison than between heaven and hell." (Laughter.") Mr. Henderson : "Then put It on the market as such. Don't sneak; he a | man." | Republican applause.) | Then Mr. Turner, of New York, was given his turn to rise to a question of personal privilege, lie louml his name in the honorable company ol the gentlemen who were named in the preamble. Lven suppose the gentleman withdrew his preamble his purpose would have been accomplished, lie had been playing to t he press gallery, and t he names (it t he i'l-lil 11 1111 >11 mi'li! infu-il vcmiiI.I lm . .. .... r> * .

He continued to arraign the chairman of the committee on appropriations, who. he said, was hut posing he fore the press nailery, lie would, he said, if it were in order, advert to the Star Chamber ' proceedingsby which this hill had been forced on the House.

The Progress has learned of a serious state of ull'airs in cerfain sections of this county. Our informant gave us the information one day last weak, and his authority is an old colored woman, lie says that for several days past the negroes between Kandcrsviile and the Hancock County line have been acting in a suspicious manner. They have hoen congregating at different places every night for some time past, and their meetings have heen conducted with the utmost secrecy. Drum heating can he heard, and passers-by have overheard the loud voices of the leaders addressing the assemblages. The white people living in the sections where these meetings arc held have become alarmed, fearing that the negroes will at any moment take the warpath against them. It is said that a great many Winchester rilies have been purchased by the negroes, and their actions have every appearance of foreboding no good to the whites. Our informant states that an old negro won. disclosed the intentions of the negroes and explained the object of the meetings. She said the negroes go through regular military drills ever* night, and the drum is beat for t hem tt keep time. The negroes seem to havt some ill feeling toward the whites, am appear inclined to resort to firearm: and force. Of course, the Progress does not know whether the old woman's statement can he accepted as reliable or not, hut the matter needs investigation at any rate.- -Augusta Chronicle. Wus it a tiliost?
