The Conference did not reassemble
until 5 2. NJ, at which hour reports
from the committees appointed were
called for. The cnly one presented was
by :he committee on education, which
was read and adopted.
No other business pressing uIon the
Conference, the Rev..W. o. Chappelle,
Of Columbia, presiding elder Of the \.
NJ. E. Church, a very intelligent young
black man, made a speech in favor OF
education, which was we'll received.
The Rev. J. J. Durham, from the
committee on resolutions, presented
snd read the following.
Whereas, the political situation in
this State is at present very complIcat-
ed, and in some respects delicate; and
whereas. the Democratic party is divid-
ed and has two tickets in the State.
Therefore resolved:
1st. That we do not deem it wise,
prudent or practicable for the Republi-
can party to put a ticket in the field. .
2i. That in regard to the Haskell
movement, while we believe IN good
government, and a just and impartial
administration of its laws, and while
We believe that our rights, privileges
and interests would be best conserved
by the element represented by the
Haskell movement. yet, taking into
consideration all the circumstances,
We do not think it wise or prac:lcabate
to endorse said movement, but TO leave
the matter with the State executive
committee, feeling sure that the Wis
dom and discretion OF said commit

Sd. That We do not desire social
equality, nor demand political sTpre'n-
&C, as a race, bu, IS citizens or this
St&,e and Of the United States we do
demand an impartial administration OF
the government under which ne live,
and a Just and fair share IN that ad-

4th. That we condemn the bitter par

to engender and stir up strife among
the faces. without conducting to the in
terests Of either race.
Coultry. OF Columbia, said he hoped

and no resolution pertaining tolt ought
to come up in Conference. The negro
had been under the ban fourteen years
in south Carolina, and he candidly did
no. believe the burden could be any
