ESQIISITOBIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE THE CHANCES OF CONVICTION-GENERAL GRANT ON SOUTHERN ELECTIONS-QUEER FREAK OF THAD. STEVENS. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 14.-The action of the Senate yesterday in remaining over two hours tn consultation and coming into open court with a prepared order, after a secret de? bate and votes, is deprecated by the congres? sional managers and by the President's coun? sel. It is argued that the real tria! is taking place in secret, and that tho efforts of the man? agers and counsel are mero show work. The President's counsel yesterday teemed perfectly disarmed after tho return of the Senate, and submitted to the result ot its secret compro? mises without mach remonstrance. General Grant decides that the Eeconstruct ion laws do not authorize military command? ers to change election days fixed by the con? ventions. Florida Republicans here say that the oppo? sition to the constitution in that State is main? ly confined to negroes. General Grant received a dispatch from Gen? eral Thomas saying, in effect, that the enemies of the present government of Tennessee were organizing for resistance to tho laws, and to get control of the State. Grant replied, order? ing Thomas to use all the forces at his com? mand to preserve peace, and protect the State authorities in the execution of laws, and to re? port if more troops were needed. Persons conversant with the senatorial feel? ing say that the real danger to the President has narrowed down to the fact of appointing Thomas Secretary of "War ad interim. Butler's charges stand no dance, and the illegality of Stanton's removal is doubted by many sena? tors. Joseph H. Bradley has filed a petition for a mandamus, to compel the District Supreme Court to restore him to the bar. Secretary Browning divides his attention be? tween the Interior Department and the Attor? ney-General's office. Alexander H. Stevens is here. Bevenue to-day, $314,000; for the week, $2, 500,000; for the year, $137,500,000. Nc session of the Senate to-day. The House devoted its time to speeches. WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Tennessee del? egation have no information of unusual trouble in that State. They thins the scope of the Thomas-Grant correspondence exaggerated, and applies to local troubles, probably connect? ed with the revenue. The following startling items is from a cred? itable source: Thad. Stevens" proposition to amend the Alabama bill by granting suffrage to all male citizens over twenty-one years of age, creates consternation among the Radicals. Several of the most prominent are endeavoring to induce him not to offer it, but he declares he will to-morrow if the bill is before the House. m The Reconstruct lo n Conventions. NORTH CAROLINA.

RICHMOND, Mardi 14.-The section requiring * all officers of the State to take the oath that "I recognize and accept the civil and political equality of all men before the laws," was adopted.

A j sition was made by B. C. DeLarge to pra; gress to remove the politioal disabilitiei all the citizens of the State, and in tho d sion which followed, sentiments were u by many of the delegates, especially tl ored members, which indicated a des; their part to place every man in the State his former political footing as a citizen. It is understood that such an act wor ceivc the sanction of Congress, and that i I accordance with the wishes of both th< and military leaders of the .Republican ] i A homestead section of an extremely li character was also adopted and declared an integral part of the constitution. Thi introduced by Mr. C. P. Leslie.of Barnwell certainly "won his spurs :' for engineerin clause through the convention, after an section had been adopted and passed third reading. It will be observed on re! the text that it secures " a dwelling-house buildings or lanela appurtenant, and the y product thereon, not to exceed the value o thousand dollars and the yearly product t of, to the person entitled thereto or the of any family, besides household furnitui br arv, arms, carts, wagons, animals, ii ments, A-c., to the value of $500 ; and in i tlon ah necessaiy wearing apparel. The impoverished people of the State now sleep comfortably in their beds, witt assurance that come weal or come woe, I wives and little ones will not be turned o doors. This is unquestionably one of the sections in the constitution. Immediately after the morning session President announced that a photographer present for the purpose of taking a pictuj the convention, and requested all who wii to be handed ?own to posterity to remai their seats, turn thoir faces to the rear, present their m ost decorous appearance. There was an instantaneous twitching a shirt-collars, lanoothing down of refrac hair and adjustment of ready-made cloth The convention performed the manouvre "right about fitce," put on their proper cc tenances, and the standers around the "struck an attitude.1' The artist levelled camera, aimed, called '-time," and pulled trigger. No such mantle of silence ever ree on that body before. For once Byas absolu held his breath; Langley did not "second motion;" DeLexge rose to make no erpla fions; Elliot didn't call for the previous qt tion; Dill bad nothing to say about frauds u] the people, and the President did not rap irrepressible Leslie to order for speaking i of time to "tho friends." The artist tc ok two impressions, and to I gratification c f the assembly announced tl both were so perfect that he could distinc see the pimples upon the noses of several the distant delegates. Five dollars, a pictt from each of the one hundred and twenty de gates will net the pretty little sum to the pl tographer of six hundred dollars for his rnoi ing's work, besides the sales made to tbe a miring constituency at home. The convention assembled at the usual boc The President read the following communie tion, which was received with applause: "WAK DEPABTHENT, / WASHINGTON, D.

This is a mistake. The Stomach must be stimulated and regulated, and the liver and the discharging organs put in good working order be? fore a cure can be effected. Such is the operation of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. "They tone the stomach, set the liver right, And put the stomach in such a healthful plight, That good digestion waits on appetite." Many persons fancy that Fever and Ague can be avoided by adopting unusual precautions against damp and cold. Never was there a greater fal? lacy. There is no absolute safeguard against ma? larious maladies, except HOSTETTEB'8 BITTERS. "To brace the frame and make it ague-proof, To keep the causes of disecse aloof," lhere is nothing like thia genial vegetable invigor int, So, too, in cases where there ia a predisposition bo biliousness ; the constitutional tendency is corn batted and held in check by the alterative action of the BITTEIS. Diet and regimen are powerful allies of judicious medical treatment when the preservation of health In insalubrious localities is the object in view. But they win not answer the desired end alone. Use them as aide lo the BITTERS, but do not rely upon the efficacy of any formula that does not include thi Klmirable tonic. The BITTERS consist of an unadulterated veget? able essence (unrivalled among stimulants), medi? ated solely with herbs and roots of acknowledged nrtne as tonics. It ls agreeable to the taste and per? fectly harmless. Even to children of delicate con rrj ru ti ons it may be given with perfect impunity. In fact, with these, aa with those of older growth, ita wonderful r?cup?rant properties are at once appa* rent._6_March 16 ?"CITY TAXES.-OFFICE OF THE CITY rBEASUP.EE.-Under the Ordinance to Baise Sup? plies for 1868, Tax-payers are informed that, during the present month, Taxes on Beal Estate must be paid; also, the Income tax specified in the first sec don.
