We do not propose to permit the democrats the export duties three per cent less at Manoos, than at Para, for tha pur- pose of encouraging direct trade with foreign countries. The agent at Para of the Britieh line of steamers makes no secret of the fact that their steamers have paid enormously.

Senator Bruce said he expected a ain of three congressmen in Miesiss- Pinchihack said he thought we arry the closo_congr-ssional disrricts in_ Flrida, West Virginia and North Carolina. Senator Blaine excited much com- ment by the attention he paid Pinch- back of Louisana, who stood eide by side with his colored confrere, Sena- tor Bruce. Secretary Sherman, Thur- low Weed aud (ien, Binks formed & liztle group by themselves. Senati r Conkling, although in the hotel, was absc:.. irom the conferance. Tt is stated he had an interview with Garfi-ld in the worning. Chairman Jewell, of ths republican national committee called the confer- enco to orderand presided. He made a_ brief address touching its object. No sooner had the conference been opened than Mr. Ohandler and Sena- tor Logan protested against the pres- ence of reporters. The latter created some smusement by his vehemence in pointing _out a reporter who tried to cover a1s identity. Dr. Lering said he did not object to the presence of reporters, on the contrary, he thought the proceedings of the conference should be dissemi- tated all over the country. He of- gered a resolution that all money and epeakers possible should bs sent to the aid of the Southern States, and that no states should be sbandoned as lost. Dr Loring's resolution was second@ by Hoore, of Tennessee,and was read amidst cheers. Hicks and Ocnnover, of Florida, said they could carry that etate for the republican party, if they received assistance. In any event they would MCETGAGE THEIR PROPERTY AND CAKKY THE ETATE ANYHOW. J. H. Sypher caused a seneation by declarinz that the party has lost the negro vote of the Southand would not regainit. The negroes were mow in the hands of the eouthern demo- crats and it was doubtful if the vote of a single Southern State could be gained for the republican cause. His speech brouzht ex Gov.
