[From the Reporter.] Though the meeting was not as full a one as waa anticipated, in consequence, doubtless, of the pressing demand for every farmer to be at home attending to bis growing crop, quite a large and respectable gathering of the substan? tial ^citizens of the county was beld In the courthouse on Monday last The m- eting was organized, on motion of Major .8. P. Hamilton. ? by calling Major James Pagan to the chair, and requesting C. S. Brice, Esq., to act as secre? tary. The chairman, in a clear and forcible way*fcsplained that the object of the meeting was to inaugurate measures to ? secure the co? operation of all honest men in the effort to shake off the knaves who are running the State Government solely for the Bake of plun? der, and to restore the administration of the government to honest and capable hands, irre? spective of color or past party associations. He said that lt was the dury of every respecta? ble man to come ont squarely and work for an honest government; that nil men white and black, rich and poor, are equally interested in the movement to reduce t.he expenditures of - the government. l Colonel W. A. Walker moved that a commit \ tee of eight be appointed to nominate dele I gates to the convention to be holden in Co ? lumbla on the 15th instant. The motion was adopted. Major S. P. Hamilton offered the following preamble and resolutions, and urged their adoption in a speech of considerable length, .eplete with good seoce and convincing argu? ment: Whereas, By the passage of the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United I tates, equal rights, both civil and political, lave been granted to ali citizens of the United Slates, and in every State of the Union the raid Fifteenth constitutional amendment has Recome the law of the land; therefore, be lt Resolved, That we recognize the said consti? tutional amendment as the law of the land, and that we the citizens of Chester County wlU truly and in good faith carry out the prin ?clples therein contained. Resolved, That the resolutions heretofore passed by the Press Conference at Columbia are hereby approved and accepted not only as the announcement of proper principles, but also as the first trumpet note to rouse the whole people for the impending overthrow of | the enemies of law. and order, truth, virtue and common honesty. In dtansBing the. resolutions, Major Hamil? ton first depicted in forcible words the great changes the revolution had brought about, and appealed to the white men present to recog? nize these changes,and to accord to the colored man cheerfully, sincerely and truthfully, all the civil and political rights that the law now elves him. He met andi exposed the falsity of j the charge made by the enemies of Reform, that the new movement ls nothing but the Democratic party under a thin disguise. The Democratic party in South Carolina, he said, was dead; that the main question of differ? ence between the Republican and Democratic parties had been the status of the colored man; and now that the deform- party accepted in good faith the Fifteenth amendment as the law of the land, there was really~**^ilfference between the platform of that party and that >f the Republican party. He forcibly ap? paled to the colored men to assist In wresting ie State government from the bania of j ie plundering carpet-baggers ; that it was trough their instrumentality that the govern lent had gotten Into such hands; and that ley owed lt to the welfare of the State to use j jeir power und restore the administration of ilrs to honest hf^d>. He warned them to sware of the mean white men who are going [to thc league lor the sole purpose of securing ices for themselves, and said it was good ie for honest colored men to know that they ire in the wrong f*ace and come out ot lt, ten such bad specimens of white men were lng In among them. He?MXt proceeded to >w up the Land Commission as one of the j?test swindles of the age, and stated one [tance in which a gentleman of York had his land to Leslie at*4 oeracre, and after ds getting a glimpse at his books saw ?re that immaculate thief had entered it as 'based at $6 per acre. The recently dlscov J $00,000 swindle of N. G. Parker, State isotlr, was ateo ventilated. The preamble and resolutions were submit? ted to the meeting and unanimously adopted,. save by one vote. E. C. McLure offered the following resolu Uon: Resolved, That the delegates appointed to attend the Convention at Columbia, be author? ized to nil any vacancies that may occur in its number, by the appointment of other dele? gates. Which was adopted, and the meeting then adjourned. Edge?tl t. At the public meeting held in Edgefield to nominate delegates to the June Convention, eight colored and seven white delegates were appointed. The Advertiser says: The speeches made by General Butler, Ma? jor Gary, Major Bacon and Mr. Youmans, on this occasion, were, une and all, able, honest and truthful, and all in the same strain and to the same end, viz: That of opening the eyes of the negroes to their true interests, to the selfishness, knavery and dissimulation of the great mass of the Radical party of the State, and to the honesty and good Intentions of the Reform party. General Gary, who has taken no part in politics since the war, appeared only after repeated calls from the meeting. He'declared himself an uncompromising old school Democrat, totally opposed to acquies? cing, only so far as we are absolutely obliged, in either the Thirteenth. Fourteenth or Fif? teenth amendments, totally opposed to negro suffrage, and willing to wait and suffer undi dooms-day rather than swerve from the pure doctrines of the Democratic party. Mr. P. A. Eichelberger, the leading Radical of this section, was present at the meeting-or J rather hanging upon its outskirts-and was called upon loudly for his views, with many assurances previously given, that respect, tol? eration and ialr-piay should bethe order of the day. Mr. Eichelberger, however, did not re? spond. He and certain of his agents and myr? midons were working like beavers in the after part of the day, to undo the work of the morn? ing's speeches. And now Edgefield, having put herself | among the ranks of those moving for aJReforrn in the government, can only hope that the wise action of the Convention- wUl be produc? tive of such Reform. WASHINGTON. [FROM TOS ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, June 10. The revenue to-day is over $1,000,000. , The President and Secretary Boutwell wlU be absent for a week.

They will be arrested wherever found and brought to the bar of the House. A special committee was ordered to investi? gate the so-called false charges made by the correspondent of the New York Evening Post. During the discussion General Butler said there was no question of veracity between himself | and the correspondent. [It is due to the cor? respondent to say that there is.] The discus? sion occupied the greater part of the day, and was quite warm It was argued that newspa? pers, like lawyers and clergymen, had the right to withhold the sources of their Informa? tion. A motion was made by the aggrieved party that the correspondent be expelled from the reporters'gallery. This ended in tho appoint? ment of a special committee with power to send for persons and papers. * The Deficiency bill, as returned from the Senate, was considered. The Senate made 256 amendments. The first, regarding thc Court of Claims, was adopted. It provides that no pardon or amnesty granted by the President, whether general or special, or by pardon or otherwise, nor any acceptance of such pardon or amnesty, nor oath taken, or other act per? formed in pursuance or as a condition thereof, shall be admlssable on the part of any claimant as evidence in support of any claim against the Unitedilates, or to establish the standing of any claimant in said court, or to his right to bring or maintain suit therein, except where such pardon and amnesty were granted, and oaths ot allegiance and amnesty taken in good faith during the continuance of | the active operations of thc late rebellion, under the proclamation of President Lincoln, Issued in pursuance of the thirteenth section of the Confiscation act of July 17, 1862, pledg? ing the public faith for a restoration of the rights of property. And where all the require? ments and conditiione named in Bald act have been faithfully complied with, and"said oath of | amnesty and allegiance have been ki?pt and maintained inviolate.

Vatican Council. PARIS, June 8. Advices from Home state that thc (Ecumeni? cal Council ls now engaged In discussing the Schemade prtmatin et infallibilitate by section?. The debate on the preamble has closed. There have been one or two exciting passages between the supporters and opponents of the proposecrabgma, but, at present, the minority are silent and passive. A great demonstra? tion was made yesterday in favor of Papal in? fallibility. Jesuits were the prime movers in the affair. A large procession passed through the streets bearing banners inscribed, "Fiuo Papa Infallib?le." ROME, June 7, VIA PARIS, June 8. The Fathers opposed to infallibility have presented an address to the Pope, through Cardinal Legate, remonstrating against the violent proceedings by which the meeting of the 3d instant was dissolved and the debate on the preamble of the Schema brought to a close. They complain that fifty members who had given notice of their Intention to speak remain unheard, among them Monsigneur Uupanloup, and protest against the vote by which the de? bate was determined, declaring that it was carried by surprise. The address received the signatures of one hundred men. It is asserted that about the first of May, M. Olllvier sent a dispatch to the French ambas? sador here instructing him to make no more efforts to restrain the action of the Council. The Marquis of Benneville accordingly sus? pended negotiations on the subject with the Papal Government, but told the French bishops that it was their duty to defend the opinions of their government, and advised them to do all in their power to obtain modifications of the Schema. It ls added that the Duke de Gram mont. since his accession to the ministry of foreign affairs, has confirmed the instructions of Ollivler. Another Yacht Race. LONDON, June 10.

After the stormiest session known in the State, and after the withdrawal of a number of delegates, the Republican Convention, on the first ballot, nominated Dockery, thc pres? ent member, for Congress, from the Third Dis? trict. Dockery refused to endorse Holden's administration. The antl-Dockery faction say they will either run an independent candidate or vote the Conserva tlve ticket. It ls thought that Andrew J. Jones will be the Independent candidate. New Hanover County is pledged against Dockery. Prominent Republicans de? clare that the scenes in the Convention are the most disgrace tul ever witnessed. THIA OS IN NEW YORK. The Approaching Monster Concert-Ma? gical Discord-A Big Thing-Summer Piety on the Wing-Tumble In the Rates ot Board-Theatrical Gossip. NEW YOKK, June 6. The promoters of the forthcoming musical festival have lately been Involved In a little tempest raised by the opposion clans of Parepa and Kellogg. Both of these ladles wished to be at the head of the list of artists; both wish? ed to have the most prominent places on the programmes, and both wished to have the choicest morceaux of music. At one time it seemed quite Impossible to reconcile the con? tending factions, and the result was that Miss Kellogg's name was on one day omitted from the programmes, and great was the wrath ot the Kelloggites. "The Irate party was, how? ever, appeased. Miss Kellogg was finally se? cured, and ls announced to sing selections *from "Trovatore," on the opening day of the festival. A greater prominence ls, however, given to thc name ol Parepa. who will try the solos in the great oratorios. AU prima donnas are very exacting, and the management lias to use great diplomacy. There are also half a dozen Jovial conductors to be reconciled, each one thinking that he alone of all others is the man for the occasion. It ls expected that this week thc New York singing societies will take hold of the matter more vigorously than they have done hitherto. Three rehearsals are to be held at Steinway Hall this week, at which the oratorios will he practiced. The managers have already gone to great expense, the means being furnished by a Business firm down town. The advertising bills are prodigious, that of the Herald sometimes amounting to $250 a day. Several of the artists will have to be paid In advance. There is already so much money in? vested in thc enterprise, that it will have to be carried throush, and every day gives increased assurance of its real attractiveness anti merit. The sale of tickets has commenced, and the prices have been put as low as can be expect? ed-a dollar to a dollar and a half for admission to each concert, without a seat. The churches, with the first touches of warm weather, are preparing for the usual summer vacations, which this year will be longer than ever before. Fashionable religion ls at a ruin? ous discount In the dog-days, and several of the more aristocratic tip-town places of wor? ship will close on the first of July, and remain closed till the middle of September. The ma? jority, however, will remain closed only dur? ing August and the latter part ot Jnlv. The prices of board have lately fallen con? siderably. In the up-town streets, this sum? mer, rooms, which, with board, have brought fifteen to twenty dollars a week, can now be had lor len dollars and fifteen dollars. It would seem that the reiirn ol' ultra hlgn prices Is near? ly over. The restaurants, however, keep up their prices, despite the constant grumblings of customers. A well known attach? of one of our theatres took a benefit on Saturday night. The play was .a good one and thc weather was favorable, but the audience was amazingly slim. "You might have tired a cannon In the parquet," exclaimed the disgusted beneficiary, the next day, "and you couldn't hit any one except the conductor of the orchestra." In fact, the attendance at the theatres generally is rapidly falling off, owing to the warm weather. Sunday evening amusements, which ten years ago would have been decraed most sacrilegi? ous, are now openly allowed. Last night Fisk's theatre-the so-culled "Grand Opera House" was crowded to.excess on the occasion of a repetition as a concert of the music performed at the recent reception of the Ninth Regiment at the Academy. Several members of the reg? ular company of the theatre sang solos, and Mox Maretze'k conducted a chorus of 125 pcr forme s, who interpreted, instrumentally,-a va? riety di operatic selections. No pretence ol "sacred music" was assumed to fit tue concert to the day. There are not a few who predict that in ten years hence the leading theatres will be thrown open on Sunday nights, as they are In New Orleans and In most of the Europe? an capitals. Mr. William Niblo, the veteran ex-manager, is in town, as hale and hearty as if seventy years had not passed over lils head. He has tot been Inside of a theatre for live years. He leaves In a few days for Europe on a plea sure trip. Max Strakosch expects to make a great sen sation here in the fall with Nilsson. She will sing in oratorios, as well as In concerts and operas. THE INFALLIBILITY CANONS. The Latest Version. Tlie French papers publish a set of canons attached to the Schema of Infallibility, now under discussion at Rome, wWh differ in some respects from those which have appear? ed in our own and English Journals. They read as follows: 1. If arty one says the holy apostle Peter was not instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ as first of the apostles, and the visible head of the church militant, or indeed that he has only an honorary primacy, and did hot receive directly and immediately from our Lord Jesus Christ the primacy of true and proper Jurisdic? tion, let him be anathema. 2. If any one says lt is not in virtue of the proper Institution of our Lord Jesus Christ that St Peter has constant successors in ali the primacy ot the church, or indeed that the Roman Pope is not the successor to St. Peter in this primacy by divine right, let him be anathema. 3. Il any one says that the Roman Pope has merely the function of superintendence and di? rection, but not full and supreme power of Jurisdiction over the universal church, not merely In things of faith and morals, bul also in those of the discipline and the governmeut of the church spread over ali the face of the earth, or, indeed, that this power Is. not ordi? nary and immediate, exercising itself upon all churches, and upon each church in particular, and upon all the pastors and faithful together, and each one in particular, let him be ana? thema. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. A Shooting at Greenville. The Enterprise says : "On Sunday evening last, aboui 4 o'clock, whilst some colored boys were congregated near the upper bridge, one of them, isaac Cannon, aged about 13 years, having a pistol about him, accidentally, it ls thought, shot Harvey Moore, about 16 years old. The ball entered the right breast, and may prove fatal; The former has been com? mitted to Jail." Killed by Lightning. The Yorkville Enquirer Bays : "We learn that during the storm of last Friday afternoon, Hiram Hutchinson, second son or Mr. A. E. Hutchinson, ofiiock Hill, was struck by light? ning and instantly killed, wbllevtandlng in the door of the family residence. The deceased was a youth of about sixteen years, and of very es? timable character. It ls a remarkable coinci? dence that his maternal grandfather was also killed by lightning." An Outrage. The Cheraw Reporter soys: "On Sunday last one Benjamin Michael, an attache ol the whang doodle's office, went to Harmony Church, where religious worship was being held, and seized the horse of Mr. W. W. Jordan on a tax execution In his hands. By the remonstrance of several parlies he was Induced lo forego his purpose and release Ihe horse. Has it come to this, that our people can't be allowed to worship God, without having their services broken In upon by the agents of thc thieves and scoundrels who are now lording lt over us ? If so, let us know it" ^s. Heavy Loss by Fire, Tmr Edgefleld Advertiser says that Messrs. Adams & i. heatham's steam saw mill, situated immediate on the line of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, some two miles below Pine House depot, was consumed by fire on Friday night lost, together, with, some forty thousand feet of lumber. We are informed that they will be able to save a portion of the machinery, but that their loss will well-nigh reach $1500. I hey have gone promptly and vigorously to work again, have cleared away tue debris, and actually commenced rebuilding, with the hope of having their mill in running order within the next three weeBrs. Mr. Adams ls of the opinion that the Ure was the result of acci? dent, and not the work of the incendiary. Sales-Day. In Greenville there was but little business done. The sheriff sold only one trace of laud, 170 acres, the property of Mr. Asa Cunning? ham, bought by Mr. W. A. Cunningham for $230. In Yorkville there was an unusually small attendance from the country last Monday. Farmers are detained at home to fight the grass, which is giving the crops a close pull for thc benefit of the lute rains. The following public sales of real estate were made by the sheriff: Two tracts belonging to the estate of Amos Rhea, deceased, sold for partition, under orders from the Judge of probate. One of these, containing 19 acres, was purchased by R. Whitesldes, at $3 05 per acre. The other, con? taining 50 acres, was bought by C. Whlsonant at $1 i>er acre. Also, two tracts, sold under execution-one belonging to Hugh Simpson, which was purchased by John R. Patton, for $500; and oue belonging to E. A. Crawford, which wus purchased by J. A. Brown, for $700. THE WEATHER AND THE CBOPS. Oconee. Thc Courier says: "This section has been visited by almost constant rains for two weeks. Bul little work has been done. Grass and weeds are springing up luxuriantly. Hail has also fallon IH some localities. Small grain has been seriously injured by being blown down." York. The Enquirer says: "There have been sever? al falls of rain in various parts of this county during thc week past, the most general ol which was on Friday afternoon. This was ac? companied with hall, which In some places was severe, but as a general thing did no injury. The copious rains of the last two weeks nave given the crops a fresh Impetus, and both corn and colton look very promising." Darlington. The Southerner says: "We have had plenty of rain since our last issue. From the best sources we learn that the crops promise well. Should no severe drought occur the most bountiful crop will bc realized in Darlington County. Some parties have Informed us that oats and wheat are very good, especially thc former, which hos improved since rains set in; some farmers are now reaping both oats and wheat" Greenville. The Mountaineer says: "A very heavy rain fell in ibis vicinity last Thursday afternoon, and several trues were uprooted by the ac? companying high wind. Those persons who visited the circus were put to serious incon? venience by Hie shower bath they received under thc pavilion, and the damage to dresses and other feminine trapping must have amounted to hundreds of dollars. In thc eve? ning a threatening cloud appeared, and 'Old John Robinson's men," giving up the idea of exhibiting llr.it night, rapidly folded their tents and prepared lo take a 'new departure.';' Anderson. Thc Intclligeuccr says: "During the past week heavy rains have vlslted^everal sections of this county, damaging the growing crops. A considerable hail storm north of this place, on Friday night had a disastrous effect across a narrow belt of country. The farmers are generally engaged this week In harvesting wheat and oats. The wheat is considered fine, and oats have improved wonderfully since the rains set In. It is a busy time with the farm? ers, as their hands are greatly needed In thc' corn and cotton fields, while the grain crops are being harvested." Picke as? The Walhalla Courier regrets to learn that, on the 3d instant, a deslructive hailstorm visited that portion ol Pickens County north ol' the Courthouse. The crops on the planta? tions of James E., John, and Mrs. Hugood, and James Griffin were destroyed. Others in ihe neighborhood also suffered severely On the places above named, outhouses, fences, fruit trees, Ac, were blown down. Where wheat, cotton, rye, ic, were growing, corn has been planted. Hail-stones fell as lame as hen eggs, and to the depth of eighteen inches. On the 6th. there was plenty of hall tu the rifts and washes. UNFAVORABLE PROSPECT OP THE LOUISIANA KICK CROP.-A special correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune writes as follows con? cerning the prospects of the growing rice crop In Louisiana : In the Parishes of St. Charles and Plaque mines the appearance of the rice crop ls de? cidedly unpromising. The fields are overgrown with groas, looking badly, and are very back? ward. Probably on account of the cold weath? er and defective seed, the rice put into the ground early in March had to be sown again, and the stands do not present a very favorable aspect In Lafourche Parish the farmers ex ?iect to realize good returns, if no casualty be? alla them before the harvest The reports from St James and St. John-the-Baptist are anything but encouraging. Should the river recede early In June the crop will prove a fail? ure. At any rate, harvesting will commence late in the month of August, and the receipts will not amount to much until the middle of next September. ZDntgs, Oljetmcals, Uz. -jQB.
