mains a number unappropriated which
the ladies would be glad to have taken
by any interested in a cause which
ought to be near to every southern wo-
mans heart.

one or two votes were cast, are omitted
here.
The Chair declared there was no
election and another ballot would have
to be taken.
The taking the first ballot consumed
two hours and half.
During the count by the tellers par
ties in all parts Of the house we're busy
with paper and pencil keeping the tally.
A vast audience filled the seats and
aisles and crowded the vestibule. Now
and then the rap Of the chairman's gsvel
was necessary to quiet the hum Of voices
so that the tellers and secretaries could
be heard. Here and there delegate
dozed, but most Of them seemed deeply
interested in the monotonous calling Of
names by the tellers.
At 1:30 the Conference, on motion,
took recess until 4 P. NJ.

SECOND BALLOT FOR BISHOPS.
Conference met according to adjourn
ment-Bishop Keener in the chair.
Rev. s. b. Jones conducted devo-
tional exercises.
Papers were distributed by the tellers
for a second ballot.
DR.. Edwards, of Virginia, moved that
when the tellers have gathered the bal
lots they, with the secretary and one
Of the bishops, retire to one Of the
rooms of the basement and count the
ballots, and that in the mean time the
Conference proceed with the business on
the calendar. He said he thought it
waste Of precious time for the Confor-
ence to sit idle to hear the calling of
so many names.
Mr.. Garrison moved to lay the mo-
tion Of DR.. Edwards on the table, and
the motion prevailed.
The tellers proceeded to collect the
ballots.
The tellers began to call the names.
The Conference and audience were in
possession Of the fact that only 246
delegates were present, and, as con-
sequence, l24 votes were equivalent to
election.
The tally for W. W. Duncan was
the first to reach l24-the number in
suripg election. With the calling of
his name for the hundred and twenty
fourth time the audience applauded, and
there was pause in the call.
G. B. Galloway was the second to
reach the electing number. Again the
audience broke forth in applause.
LOST HIS VOTE.
Mr.. Marks, Of Virginia, was absent
from his seat when the ballots were
collected. He came in just before the
tally was completed, and as soon as he
could get the recognition Of the Chair
asked to be allowed to deposit his bal
lot. Some objection being made, he
withdrew the request, and the count
proceeded.
The whole number voting was 243-
necessary to choice l22. Tac vote
