A count shows thirty majority acainst the ma? jority report on impeachment. Tho impression prevails that Wilson's report will bo adopted. There is a strong disposition on thc part of Demo? crats to debate the matter, in order to ventilate the absurdities of both Wilson's and Boutwcll a reports. The 8enate rejected Still weil, of Indiana, aa Minister to Venezuela.

Mr. Chandler offered a resolation declaring strict neutrality lu the impending quarrel between Abys? sinia and England. Mr. Sumner objected and the resolution lies over. Mr. Morrill introduced a bill directing the Secre? tary of the Treasury to redoem legal tender noteB with soin, and directing him to sell etch year, after paying the interest on tho debt, any gold in the Trsasn.y over $75,0C0,0OO, rec uv lng in pay Nation? al bank notes and compound interest notes ; and re? quiring all National banks which havo not equal to twenty per cent, of their capital in specie, to with? hold the interest on 'heir bonds, and on and alter July 1st, 1869, shall pay their notes in coin of $5 and under, and of larger denominations in coin or legal tenders.

NEW ORLEANS, Norember 29.-Ute troops were drawn np on the levee, yesterday, to lecetvo Gen? eral Hancock, but wire withdrawn ou t telegram the latter sent from Baton Rouge. Hancock's or? der assum.ng command does not disappoint tho hopes of those who have been anxiously expecting his coming, and w.il infuse new nfc into the almost despairing friends of law and order. The follow? ing is the order of Geaeral Hancock on r.siuminc command: , 1st. General V.'. S. Hatacock hereby assumos command of the Filth Military District, undo? tho department composed of (the States of Louisiana ?od Texas. 3d. The General commjanding is gratified to learn tba? peace and quicu roisn ia this Depart? ment. It w?U bc bis purpo: ;o to preserve this con? dition of things. As a mc: .ns to this fTeai end, he regards the msintenan :o of the civil authori? ties and the faithful execution of tee laws as the most efficient, under crist::\; circumstjnccs. Ir war it is indispensable to rerJei torco by force, and overthrow and destroy all opposition to lawiul au? thority ; but when an insurrectionary forco ha: been overcome, peace established, and thc civi authorities are ready and wiiitug to perform thc.i duties, the military power ahKuld cease to lead and the civil administration iassuiae its natura and rightful dominion. Solcntnly impressed wit] these views, thc General annoulcrss that tho grea principles of American hbortylstiU ore the lawfo inheritance of this people, and ?vcr should bc th right of trial by jury, thc /ta'.easlccrpus, the libel tv of tho press, t'.o itoodom oil speech, a: d tb natural right of persons and tli\ rights o: prc perty must bo preserved. FreY> institutions while tboy aro essential to :?c prosper;: and jappiness of tho people, 1 always Ut: nish the strongest inducements tes pence au order. Crimes and off-'uecs committed in t'.ii District must be referred to tl'c consideration an Judgment of the regular civil authorities, an these tribunals will bo supported in them? lawi'i jurisdiction. Should there be violations oW cxi-J ing laws which aro not inquired into by thw civ magistrates, or should a failure in the admini?tr tion of justice by the courts be complained of, Wij jases will be reported to these headquarters, wbF1 tuch orders will bo made at, may be nocossary. W?ile thc General thus vindicates his purpose to respect the liberties ot tho people, he wishes all to uurlerstaacVtuat armed insurrections or forcible resistance to thc laws will bo instantly suppressed. The Louisiana Convention. NEW OBLEANS, November 29.-Ihe Convention to-day endorsed tho removal of General Mower and thc abolition of the cotton Ux. Judge Talliaferro not being presont, Ingrahani, colored, was appointed temporary chairman. The Times, in an editorial, accuses Schely, late? ly appointed Clerk in tne Second District Court by Gsneral Mower, of swindling the Paymaster's De pastmont, and says that he was arrested -nd sent out of tho Department by General Canby, tnd refers to that officer ard the records of the pay de? partment for proof. Affairs In Louisiana I NEW OBLEANS, November 23.-General Mower issued this afternoon an order removing the Lieu? tenant of the Police in the second nistrict, and an aid to tho Chief of Police.

After a full consultation had by many of the Conservative gentlemen present, among whiou .vere somo of the ablest and most influential m<en in tho State, it was d omed best tr? advise a post? ponement of the contemplated State Convention, called to meet here on the 11th December, to a> time and place hereafter to be designated by the State Executive Committee, which was appointed at the timo. It is presumed that this arrange? ment will meet with general favor. The Mill Between Kelly and Collyer.

Ou accouut of tho peculiar interest with w the case of Mr. Davis is regarded by the w Southern people WJ copy the full report of the ceedings ia tho United States Circuit Court in city on Tuesday last of which tho tolcgraph | us merely an outline : {From .'he B'c\monl Dispatch cf Wednesday Two hours befe re the time appointed for tho o; ingof the U. S. circuit Court yesterday m mg, the crowd began to gather ou Bank-stree catch a sight of Mr. Davis, acd, if possiblo, to j admi si?n into tho court-room. An esc trron? also failed tho lobby and passages of customhouse. The rrosp<?ot for a trial, and probability of the arrival ot Chief Justice Ch were of course the prevailing topics of conve tion-lor il was already well known that Mr. Ch fr m some unexplained causo, had not arrive? expected. At quarter to ll o'clock an officer stationed tho door of the court-room admitted the clo reporters, and members of the bar, who tam \ afforded sufficient time to seat themselves bel the crowd earned admission. A number of lat -wives and daughters of United States army < cers, and one or two well-known ladies from Chu Hill, wero allowed privileged seats in roar of desks set apart for the representatives of press. Within tho spar*: ns?igDed to the bar a nura of persons of not; were 60on gathered togett Among them wero noticed ex-Governor Letol Hon. James A. Seddon. Boo. J. S. Pendle (formerly United Sta'es Minister to Chili), Chai O'Conor, George shea, and William Evarls, Eai General Granger and Governor Peirpoint. Boa these there were many of less celebrity, and ab forty R dimond attorneys and counsellors at li The"grand jurors occupied their usual seats. At ll o'clock tho doors were thrown wide op and in rushed a promiscuous crowd of perso .tho had been standing in the passages and on i stairway. People of all colors, agos and sex came pushing forward, and soon there seen neither seat nor standing room for another m The efforts of the police were barely sufficient keep the impatient throng within bounds; but length the crowd was so dense that moving abi was almost impossible. Then comparative silei reigned. At 11.25 Jud?c Underwood made his appoaran and tho Court was immediately opened by J Crier Undprwood. Tho Clerk then procoeded, by order of the Cou to call the list of (?rand jurors. Only nineteen i swering to their names, tho following were sub; tuted for tho absentees: Lomax B. Smith (colore A. Vance Brown, David Turner, Josiah Mailla and Bernard Davis. Before the grand jurors wero sworn, Mr. Chai 1er, District Attorney, after consolation with 1 associates, submi ted a motion, baaed upon secti 2 cf the Act of Congress, passed Jnne 17, 18 which provides that the District Attorney ta move and the Court may require the Clerk to t minister to errand jurors a certain oath, which read aloud. The Court directed th* Clerk to administer t oath iu question, and any jurors who entertain conscientious scruples against taking it wer J I quested to make it known as their names wc called. George Ryo, foreman, and each grand jure then took the following oath, which we pubhsh full: "You do solemnly o^ear that you will 6uppc the Coustitutit n of the United statu of Amelie that you have not without duress or coustrai taken up arms, nr joined any insu reotion or i hellion against the United States ; that you ha not adhered lo any insurrection and rebellion, gi lng it aid and comfort ; tn at you have not throe I or indirectly given any assistance in money or a: other thing tn any person or persons whom y knew or had good ground to believe had joined was about to join said insurrection aud rebeUion, had resisted or was abcut to resist with force arms the execution of the laws of the Unit States ; and that you havo not counselled or a vised any person or persons to jom in any rebclhi against, or to resist with for:e of aims, the laws the United States." Af ter the jurors had boon sworn, proclamation silence on pain of imprisonment was made, whh the Judge dolivered tho CHARGE TO TEE GRAND JUEY. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : I regret that tl absence of the Chief Justice imp?ts upon me tl duty of presenting to your consideration th which that eminent jurist could present with ; much moro propriety and ability. You have been summoned and impanntlled inquire concerning crimes and offences against tl United States m tue JJ is trio t of Virginia, und it b comes my duty to give you some genera! instru tiona in relation to your duties. The general nature of those duties pppears sn floiently in the oath which you have taken. You are to bo diligent in your inquiries. Tl general good requires certainty of retribution f< offences against tho laws. Moderato punishment it certain, restrain irom crime moro effectually thc severe if uncertain. It is your duty, therefore, I Bee to it that no offence escapes your investigate through i>egligence or laxity. And yon are to be absolutely impartial. All pe sonal fa vor and all per.-onal disfavor must be nj orously excluded from your room. No party ai: no class bias or prejudice must be allowed tl slightest influence upon your deliberations or d eis : ons. You oro selected from among your foIlow-;itLzoi without regard to race ur color. Show no regai to either in vour proceedings. You aro mini tel of justice, charged with most responsible and in portant functions. Li thc performance of thei you cannot, wu ho t fault, look to anytning butti ( Videnoe and tho laws. Offences connected with tho rcbolion which L: so lately distracted and afflicted our country wi necessarily claim your first attention. The Constitution declares that treason again i tho United States shall cons.st only in levying wt against them, or in adhering to their enemie giving thom aid and comfort, and that "Congre; shall have power to declare the punishment < treason, but no attainder of troason shah woi corruption of i bod or forf iturc except during th life ot the persou attainted." Tho power to grat reprieve snd pardon for offenoes against thc Coi satutiou, except in caaos of impeachment, : vested by tho Constitution exclusively in tho Pres dent. Those explicit provisions mark a Dlain path fe you. If it is brought to your knowlodge that an citizen of the United States has been engaged i levying war against ihem, it will bo your duty I find an indictment (or treason against thcoffenilei unless, indeed, it be also brought to your know edge that such offender has received a spocii pardon, or is included in somo general act of arr nesty. In"tho excrciso of its power to declare thc pur ishmcnl of treason, Congress has thought fit b recent iosrislation, materially to abate the rigor c the earlier law. Tho act of April 10, 1789, placed treason at th head of thc list of offences against thc Nationt Government, and provided that ii any person ow iu x allesiancs to tho United States of Amcric shall lew war aga nst thom, or shall adhere t their enemies, giving them aid and comfort, an shad be thereof convie lcd such person shall sui for death. Th.- act of 17th July, 1852, howcvei declared that treason thereafter committed sboul be punished by death and tho enfranchisement c the slaves of the coavict, or, at the discretion c the court, ly fine not less than ten thousand do! lars, and imprisonment not less than five yean Tho same act, in its seoond section, provided tua any person who should thereafter '"incite, sot o foot, assist or engage fan any rebellion or insurrec tion against the authority of the United States o the laws thereof," or 'give aid and comfort there to," or engage iu or give aid and comfort to au such existing rebellion or insurrectioa." should b punished by impiisonmont uct exceeding to years, or by fine not exceeding ten tho-.sar.d do! lars, and by thc hseratiou of his s.'aves, i r by bot punielimeut8, at tho discretion ot tho court. The th.rd section of tue same act declared th? ever/ person guilty of either of the offences de scribed should bo forever incapable au il disquah fled to hold any office under tho United States. lt is r.ot easy to ascertain the intention of Con 1 gross in these sections. But the first 6Cctio: ? seer'- :o provide for tho punishmoir. of treason ii . ge:, ul; whilo the second ncction not only prc ' vides for the punishment of acts which do nbt fal within thc constitutional definition of treason, bu of the other acta, particularly that of engaging ii I the entine rebellion, which is ut.question.tbi; , within that definition. This ia not tho o:casbr. for giving a defbitivi - cousu uction of thc act. ? It vii! bo your duty, gentlemen, should tho ovi deuce laid belora you require indictments undo ' it, to state the offence distinct^ ns committed he fore or alter the act o? tho 17ih'Jaly, 1862 and : ? committed after^describo the facts as oonstitutini either treason m goderai, or ono or more of th offences described by the said acts, whether tren. son or of inferior criminality. Your attention is aUo call?-J to tho violation o , the internal revouuo laws by manufacturers anc dealers iu whiskey and tobacco. 1 C-Dgrest has imposed high taxes on those crti i olea of luxury in order n suero t'?c necessaries o life and tho poorer classes from taxation. It will thercforo become 3'our duty to seo tba 1 the beneficent purposes of Congress in this behal . shall be executed, and to present io the court al tho violations of the revenue lao which shall h proved Ly competent witnesses ; and we aie son ] ' to b.- informed thal, you Trill probably find this por ? tion of vour duty qu.t..' laooiious. You i ught especially to bo unsparing toward! public officers wno -hail oe- implicated in conspira ciea or attempts to defraud thetrejnury and tax i pavers o; itin uaticn. Counterfeiting, or passing counterfeit coin oi ? currency ol thc United states, is another prevalent . crime, to which we call your attention, as well n: , holding such coin or currency with the int onion o, i putting it in circulation, Violations cf ths po3:al laws bv tampDring wita the m lils, robbing or opening lctto.-s m tho pos : session of postmasters or of mail carriers, ari ? crime? of a high grade, as they invade our public ; private, domestic, and business interests, aud de i serve severe punishment. Offences against the acl of C.mgross called thc ? Civil Rights Bili, and perjuries, and ether viola i tions of 'the recou?tructiou laws, will probably be . brought before you, ard will demand your investi? gation. Wo do not Hunk it important, gentlemen, to go at present into any greater detail. You will have the assistance of tho District Attorney in ?roar room, and the benefit of power to compel tho at? tendance of witnesses. It will also bc tho duty of the Court, f.om timo to time, to give you farther instructions upon such questions connected with the performance of your duties as you may think fit to bring to our notic . You act, gentlemen, under circumstances which direct niuo J public attention to you We earnest? ly hope and confidently ox peet your ac ion will Le so fair, BO just, and so judicious, as to draw upon you no other than favorable judgment. WITNESSES FOB THE ?OVEnNMEXT CALLED. After the reading of th3 charge the grnndjury retired, and the Clerk c-l'od the following wit? nesses who had acknowledged sorvico of sub pcoaas : Bobert E. Lo.'. James A. Seddon, William C. Wickham, Joh.i Lc-tcher, Lewis D. Cronshaw, W. W. Crump, James H. Grant. J. S. Calvert, Wil? liam Smith, and Gustavus A. Myers. Mr. Chandler said that he had seen General Lee, wiio was in the city, and that tho General liad stated that i e would be ready to attend upon tho grand jury at any momont. Ex-Governor Letcher, ex-Secrotary Sodtlon, and General Wickham, answering to the call, weie about to bo sworn, w.ien Mr. Chandler said that he would prefer that they should bo sworn by tho f ireman of tho grand jury, as provided bv an act of Congress passed in 18B5. The court said it was usual to administer the oath in open court, but it should be as the District Attorney preferred. The witnesses were then oirried to tho jury room, in tue third story of the building. THE UNITED STATES VS. DAVIS. Tho Judge said thai tho court would now hear any motion nf counsel. fir. Evarts, on behalf of tho Government, said : If tho court plct8e, in thc case of tho United States cs. Davis, caded at, the last term of the court, and tho accused put under recogniziuco, I observo shat tho conned are in court, and observo that the prisoner himself is obodient to the requisitions ol ibo court. It is the intention of thc Governmont to proceed with this case at soma time during tho term. There aro but two considerations which influenco us in tho appointment ot the day. First, as to the readiness of the Government and the attendance of witnesses. In rogart", to these there is notuing which would render a postponement necssarv. But there is another, in respect to tho time at which the Chief Justice of thc United States could preside with your Honor who is now on tho hooch. It ie understood that his duties at thc Supreme Court, which commences its sessions in tho City of V.'ashinglon on Monday next, will prevent bia at? tendance at pieseui. tVe propose, therefore, to appointa day when tho Chief Justice will be able to preside. With thia view, I would sugges. that tho fourth Wednesday in March be designated for the trial of Mr. Davis. Charles O'Conor. hsq.. roplied to tho suggestion of Mr. Evarts. Ho said: Wo aro in attendance under tho orders of tho court, and have no dusire except that business be couducte j with the loast lnconvenieuco to tho defendant, his counsol, and bis friends. Our personal wishos and convenience would have been greatly consulted had tho court proceeded to trial in May last. I may ad'J that they would also bs oonsultod, and perhaps in a higher degree, if it cotdd go on at this limo. How? ever this may be, under tba circumstances men? tioned by the teamed counsel, the only objection is that the same reason for postponement may exist next March. Wc aro not sure tint the busi? ness of the Supreme Court will not require a long session, and th it at the time designated by the counse. tho Chief Justice will still bc unable to moko his appearance in Richmond. lu this case, of course, we would be subjected to much labor and expenditure, only to repeat the same prooess. Wo woul i not bo understood, however, as flnd.ng fault with the dechnature of the Government to i roceed in tho absence ot tbo Chief Justice. It is certainly desirable, net only to our own, but to the general intorcst of the public, that thoie should be two Judges presiding v- hen ths case ?B heard. Influenced by this consideration, w* with? hold all objections to the failure to proceed at this time; for we do not deny that tue htghor duty, os he mav consido.- it, of the Chief Justice may re? quire his attendauce nt the Supremo Court. Out only apprehension is, ai bet?re stated, that he will bo unible to proceed at tho time designated, whinh would necessitate another postponement. However, we are not masters of the situation, but stand to answer the indictment at any time. If tho Government is determino.i to make tho experi? ment of setting trie eas J for trial on au anticipated capacity to bring it on, opposition would probably be unavailing; for your Honor would scarcely feei at liberty to decline the proposal of the counsol. I would say that it. would pro- ably be moro satis? factory to us end our cliont, a though wo havo not been afforded au opportunity for consultation, to renew thc recognizance until tho May term, when thc Chief J us tico cm coitainly attend. We only ask, however, that a form il order bc issued re? lieving him froui fuxthor attendance until tho day the court may ploase to name. Mr. Evarts: a o guard agaiusl. the danger cf fur? ther inconvenience to the defendant for thc reason now assigned, let it now be understood, that if cir? cumstances should indicate before tho appointed day that the Governmont will bo unable to pro? ceed, the counsel for tho defendant Bball bo in? iormcd thereof. I anticipate, though, that the Government wid be ready, that tho Cbioi Justice will attend, and that tho case will be disposed of at this torm. Moreover, it will be more pleasant to all to attend to it during the months of early spring than in tho boat of midsummer. The Court : The arrangement suggested by Mr. Evarts will, for throe ruaoons, bc agreoable to the court. First, it is hardly probable that if commenced the trial would bc concluded beforo thc approaching hobday. Secondly, as tho counsel agree, it would be inadvisable, and iudeed highly uuphaeaut to the court, to go on in the absence of the Chief Justice, sud wo havo reason to hope that lie will bo with us at the time designated. Thia torm will undoubtedly run over into tho next, as did tho last, tor tboro aro about 600 causea already entered. If it should heroattor bo discovered that wo cannot co on with tho case, tho defendant's counsel will bo notified, and tho recognizance renewed without their attondanco witn tho ii' client. In tho third placo, it is duo to tho defend? ant that two jud ces should preside. Tula is ob? vions, for thu reason that if difficult questions are iutroduced and decided by a singlo judgo there eau bo uo appen] hum the decision; whereas, if there are two, and a difference of opmiou exists, the couusol ini^-bt maka an appoai tu a higher curt. For thoso reasons, I repeat, tho proposition of the Governm' nt'u representativo meeta with thc consont of thc court Mr. O'Couor : I would be glad If ft . alter infor? mally suggested be distinctly understood. It is well kno,vu that this case attracts an un ut tr. I share of publio attention, and thc public officers who tike part iu it ore in no small degree amen? able to the intelligent who aro observing those proceedings, lt wul not do that an impression should prevail that thoro is any secret agrecmont between tho defendant's counsel and tao Govern? ment officers. Lot everythiog Lo done openly. I hope that we may bo able how to receive thc distinct acquisscenco of oounrel, and the approval of tho court to the propos.rioa, that should it be found that tho desired ai lead it. co o: a full court is impossible, thoro shall bo formally entered a re iiowalofMr. DaviB' recognized, _..d a leave of absonce until sucb day as may be determinad. Mr. Evarts : 1 soo ni difficulty ab^ut t.io matter. If it be known on thc 10th of March tint the court will coutinue in t-Oision until att r the fjurtu Wed? nesday, then in the presence of resident counsel another div may be fixed. The Court : The rights of tho defendant shall be cared for. Mr. O'Conor then drew up tho following order, which was approved by tho court : " lhe Uni ed Slates vs. Jtfferton Davis : "Counsel having been hoard in this caso for thc United States ana for tho defend ant, iv is now ordere J that tho defouda it have leave to dopart hence u?til the fourth Wednesday cf March nix*, ai ll o'clock in the forenoon of that day, at rbieia day a id hour ho is requacd personally" to bo and appear In thi3 court, according to tho condition o hi . recognizance." Thus tho case of Mr. Davis was disposed of ; tho counsel withdrew, ana tho crowd in attendance slowly dispersed. ANOTHEE INDICTMENT. From the fae: that Bove.ui d.stiaganshed federal and Confederate officers have beea '.uairaoned to appear before tuo grand jury, it maybe reason? ably concluded that it is dosig..?-d to f.amc another indictment. Under tuo latter, it is pro? peled to bring Mr. Davis to trial in March, (jec? oral Leo, and Generals Porter and Parke of Gen? eral Giant's stall', expect to go before tuc inquest, lo-day. MOVEMENTS OF ME. DAVIS. Mr. Davis wa>< net in court yesterday at ad, but remained quietly at homo. After the adjourn? ment of the Caurt his counsel had aa interview with Lim in Judge Ould's parlor. A groat many of his personal friends culed during thu course of thc day. Tho iiuorviow betweoa t.io ex-President and General Lee was prolongo.1 and exceedingly pleasant. Mr. Davis will remain in Richmond for several days, unless something unforaeen occurs. He Las no', yet dec:ued whether to return to Canada or to spe'iid the winter iu tho sunny South. It is thought that he could hardly stand tho extreme cotd of British Amer.ca. Mrs. Davis is sud tn Montreal, ami i?, in excellent health. ?coAB MAKI.NO IN LOUISIANA.-Tho Franklin Banner informs us ol the progress of sugar making. Tuc last number received has tiie follow? ing .
