Conservative Meeting in Columbia,
south Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 29.-Another
important meeting of whites and blacks
was held to-day. 1t was largely attended
Governor Orr spoke for an hour, giving the
colored men advice as to their political and
social duties, and urging that they should
at present attach themselves to neither the
Democratic nor Republican party, but
wait to array themselves upon the platform
of the National Union party, that could be
occupied in common by both races at the
South and all the people North. He
counselled moderation and patience, and
promised that, provided the negroes did
their duty, the people Of the South would
see them educated and secured in all the
reasonable privileges of freedmen. The
Committee on Resolutions consisted OF
thirteen whites and blacks.
A conservative platform was unani-
mously adopted. 1t provides for free
schools for the education of all children
and the revision of the civil and criminal
Code of the State.
After the resolutions, speech was
made by Rev. Henry NJ. Turner, (colored,)
of Washington, D. C. He said he cared
for no party, and simply desired the rights
of his race, and would adhere only to that
organization which insured all the priv
leges of manhood. He wished, above all
things, to see united South, for he felt,
Notwithstanding the education of the past,
that southern gentlemen were the best
friends of the negroes.
Hon. J. G. Gibbcs, cx-Mayor of Co
lumba, followed with much good advice
with reference to the duties Of the colorcd
citizens, and gave assurance of the cordial
cooperation of the people in measures
looking to their advancement.
The meeting was addressed by other
citizens, and good feeling prevailed. A
mixed executive committee was appointed
for one year.
Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is ex-
pectcd here next week.

THE SUNDAY CARS IN BALTIMORE.-The
first essay al running the passenger cars in
oar streets ou Sunday was made yesterday.
By the hour q 4. NJ at which it had
been announced they would start, many
person, were in waiting, and from that
time until night every car was well filled.
\ large number of persons awaited them
selves of the cars TO ride 10 and from the
p1>.-uilice in the morning, and a much
larger number rode from one portion OF
tie city 10 the other 10 attend the various
Churches. On the Madison Avenue line
hundreds rode TO the terminus at Druid
Hill avenue, especially in the afternoon,
where they took the dummy cars to the
Park, whilst the Gay-street line was also
t.ru crowded with visitors to the Balti-
more cemetery aud various suburban
resorts.
Tie wind during the day was somewhat
Chilly, which no doubt deferred many from
coming out who would otherwise have
ayaiIcd themselves of the great convent
rucc offered. 1t was noticed that the
horses attached 10 the cars were without
the usual appendagc Of bells. The cars
ran 80 smoothly over the rails that they
made much less noise than carriages run
ming upon the pavcmcntS, and everything
appeared TO be much more satisfactory
than many supposed it would be. There
were no scenes Of disorder at any point IN
connection with the uses of the street rail-
ways by the pcople.-Stut, 29H.

ARRESTED FOR FoRGERY.-On Saturday
a gcntccl- looking young man, representing
himself as Waverly Rowlett, of Peters
burg, Va, presented to Mr.. Samuel NJ.
McCorklc, OF this city, letter of credit,
with the name of John Rowlctt, we'll
known citizen of Petersburg, introducing
his son Wavcrly, and authorizing him to
draw at sight for such funds as he might
need. Mr.. McCorklc promptly furnished
him with eighty dollars, the amount he
asked, and the young man left. During
the morning, Mr.. McCorkle'S suspicious
having been in some way aroused, he tcle-
graphcd to Petersburg to ascertain whether
the letter of credit was genuine, and
pretty soon received an answer stating that
Mr.. }. Rowlctt had never written such a
letter.
He Immediately procured a warrant,
and the young man was promptly arrested
by our efficient police. When the warrant
of arrest was read he cvinced little
emotion, and made no explanation of his
conduct. He was confined in the cage
until bis case can be heard this morning.
Verify, in these days of steam and cleo
tricity, cLeralia' II ind,,Strie have a hard
time of it. When arrested, but two or
three dollars was found in his possession,
but he had also pair of formidable brass
knuckles, which speak badly for his re-
