Tne even tenor of the transaction of business was disturbed by an unexpected incident. The question had: come up of accept ing an invitation to tne White House, the President having, through Private Secretary - Thurber, signified that 1 it would be his pleasure to recei ve the members of the Conference, their wives and daughters, t 1 o clock tomorrow afternoon. Rer...'P, Hyde had made the announcement and the convention was on the point or voting to accept the invi tation, when Kev. J. w. Tongue rose and asKea to oe neara. - ue oDjectea to go ing to the .;. White House to pay their respects to the President-" Although he expressed mmseii in very clear ana strong words it did not appear that Mr Tongue had anything personally against Mr. Cleveland, but he urged that it would be no disrespect to the President if the Conference should refuse to go to see him. He ' reminded' tne audience that consistency was a jewel, 'and that when the Conference met in Washing ton ia 1875, during President Grant's administration, . the only - time before this that the Conference bad met here, by a deIberatLyoie they had refused to isxzf waeir, respects to - Uenerai GranW j Mr. Tongue tAid an eloquent tribute "as a Southern man, to the soil and the manner born,' speaking to Southern men. T -to the character 01 General Grant, ."whose magnanimity to our great captain, Robert E. Lee, will ever hold his name orient and dear to the South." But if the Conference "would not go to see General Grant why should it go to see Mr. Cleveland. It might be said circumstances alter eases, but they never altered principles. If the Conference was so careful not to Beem to go into politics, in 1S75, why should it now be so quick to depart from its chosen path? Almost before Mr. Tongue had re sumed his seat, half a dozen members were up and crying for recognition, and the entire Conference was shouting Question, question." Rev. S. G. Fer guson, of Fredericksburg, Ya., shouted. 1 was in the Confederate army, but 1 regret Brother Tongue's making that speech." Mr Hyde and Secretary Armstrong both made speeches vigor ously criticising Mr. Tongue's utter-' ance. A rising vote was called for upon the question of accepting the invita tion, and it was carried, many members not voting. CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY. Dispute of Jurisdiction Between Revenae Officers and Dispensary Constables. Special to the Observer. Shelby, March 29. Information just received here is to the effect that an other conflict of State and Federal au thority has-arisen at Biacksburg, S. C. Wednesday, the 27th inst., dispensary constables, headed by Constable New boro, arrested Mack Byers and George Cashion at Blacksburg for violating the State liquor laws. Byers and pashion owned a government distillery near Blacksburg and were operatine-ilrThe same day these constables also arrested at a distillery on Kjng'sCreek, in York county, Rowlaai Love, who had charge of and was-operating a'government cis- tilleryVunder the Federal authority. he constables seized both of the dis tilleries mentioned, and placed guards over each to see that no further manu facturing was done. Deputy Collector Jenkins, of Greenville, happened to turn up at the King's Creek distillery at, the time and protested against the procedure of the State offi cials and ordered them to desist and get off the survey. The. constables refused to go, and covered Jenkins with pistols. Jenkins told them lie was unarmed but was an officer of the United States government. After some parleying all left for Blacksburg, leav- ng the distillery still under guard of the constables. Jenkins wired Col. Towns, at Columbia, how matters stood, and received instructions to take charge of 'the captured distillery- and protect the property in the name of the Federal government. Jenkins then re turned to the distillery and ordered the constables or guard to leave; thereupon being shown the telegram from Col. Towns, they left. The constables have applied to Governor Kvans for instruc tions and say that if after a few days they receive none they will proceed to re-take the distillery and seize the liquors in the name of the State of South Carolina, "Col.. Towns, Deputy Collector Jenkins and the United States government to the contrary not withstanding." The constables . after a preliminary hearing at Blacksburg before W. D. Comb, trial j ustice, were bound to court. HE IS TO BE GIVEN A CARRIAGE. They Are Going to let McKlnley Bide Out to BonsTentnre The City Council to Be Seen Bat Not Heard.

Mention was made 'by your corres pondent that the bill to. allow ticket scalping was stoien four times. On one occasion Mr. French in the House put the bill, or rather a copy ol a stolen one. in the Speaker's hand andasked him to recognize him as soon as he reached his seat. The Speaker' laid "the bill down for an instant, and recognized Mr. French, who called up the bill. But when the Speaker looked for it it was gone. Who got it ? Two persons are said to be suspected. ? The outlook for the public schools is bad. The new school law is the work of bunglers. Never was one more out of shape. This was simply from igno rance. As State Superintendent Scar borough says, the new law was "just whacked out," and is disjointed. It takes away all the leverage used to arouse enthusiasm on the part of teach ers, for which they have to pay. ! xne iact is the legislature had one great purpose in view, that being to annoy Democrats, to completely upset the established order of things and get the offices. A well known building and loan agent was asked to-day what was the effect of the assignment bill upon that busi ness. He replied: "It has stopped us. No loans are being made." The story is told of a watrsrish mem ber of the Legislature who had a bill stolen two or,three times. FiriWly he took the bill over himself and when at the door drew a pistol and held it in front of the bill, saying, "I'll be tf anyone gets this bill again." 1 his county has 52 convicts at work on the public roads.

Montgomery, Ala., March 29. For some days there has been considerable gossip regardmgaffairs in the office of Frobate Judge r . U. Kandolph. This grew into a great vofume to-day when it became generally known that he had been absent for two weeks and that he drew out on the day that he left all the money to his credit, a considerable sum u two banks, in one bank be drew out for the announced purpose of making settlements with the State for collection of license money. Inquiry to-day made it plain that he did not pay over the sum. tor some months shortages have been alleged, but on the 15th of January be paid over all that then stood against him. . It is the general surmise that he collected on the current quarter and settled what he was charged with to the end of last year. When the grand jury met some weeks ago, a committee caned on tne uovern or to have an official examination made of the office by the State examiner of his accounts. The request was com plied with and the State examiner has been diligently at work and the absence of the judge during the time has been widely commented on. The grand jury adjourned until April 8th in order to give time for the examination, until the report is made it will be impossible to tell what amount is due the State and county. . Judge Randolph left here on the night of the 15th and was seen in New Orleans on the morning of the 16th. It is believed that he has gone to Honduras or some other oen tral, American btate.
