by Rev. Or. Truesd,li
Chaplain McCahe had occasion to again
protest against the non-attondance Of dele
gates upon the opening services, as less than
thirty entatiyes TO the conference
we're IN their seats. A delegate who
was asked to call the delegates In from
the lobbies, where they were assembled in
little knots Of four and six, caused conside-
rable merriment by answering that the
brethren would not come in, as they were
busy electio1eering. Whea the work Of the
conference, however, began in earnest the
delegates came trooping in, evidently e1-
pscting that the storm Of Yesterday would
be followed by another to-day. The routine
Of the conference. however, was taken up.
A resolution WAS adopted later in the day
providing for the election OF bishops on
Tuesday VI next week.

4 Third Party CoIIapses.

A Charleston special says: The state was
startled last week by the statement that a
strong effort vas 10 be made 10 start third
party in South Carolina. A carefully worded
call for a contribution Of all persons interest
ed 10 the cause OF Temperance WAS circulated
in several parts Of the State. The conven.
ton was 70 meet at Columbia May 10Th.
The call was signed by many persons high in
the councils Of The Democratic party and by
ministers Of the Gospel who would be hOrrl-
fed at the idea OF having anything to do with
politics.
The PrOhibitionists were so elated at the
character u the names signed 10 this call
that they became bold and disclosed the OBJ
feet OF the convention, which while the call
9as beng signed had been kept secret.
They proposed 70 eject delegates to the
indianapolis Convention TO nominate presi-
dental ticket and also to organize Prehl-
bition party. They even went 80 far as to
talk OF nominating full state ticket for this
fail. This rash talk has broken up the whole
thing. Most OF tue gentlemen whose names
were signed 70 the call have rspudisted Il
and demanded that their names be WITH
drawn. They are Indignant At the methods
OF the thlrd.party men. The indications
now are that the convention, II held 1t all,
will be poorly attended
