The Crescent and Star have put the ticket of the Columbia Democratic Convention at the bead of their columns, aud publish full reports of a conservative meeting held at the court? house on Monday. C. D. Evans was called to the chair, and addresses were delivered by pro? minent citizens. W. S. Mullins, Esq., was the first speaker, and he was followed by Colonel St. Clair and David LeGette, Esq. The com? mittee to prepare business then reported a re? solution "That the people of Marion have the ngbt to demand the services of any man whom they think useful to the common cause," which was adopted, as were the following nomina? tions: Senator-J. Eb Gregg. Representatives -T. E. Stackbouse, Geo. E. Shooter, D. H. Le? Gette, and W. S. Ellerbe. An executive committee of six was appoint? ed to take charge of the affairs of the party, as follows: W. S. Mullins, Gen. Wm. Evans, Gen. R. F. Graham, Major Durham, and A. Q. McDuffie and C. D. Evans, Esqs. A Republican moss meeting was held at the jourtbouse on Wednesday. The Crescent says: The Republican meeting at this place on last irVednesday was addressed by Mr. Whittemore : ind Dickinson. The latter was very zealous n stirriug ap strife among our colored friends, while the former endeavored to carry out the 1 same policy in his "smoothy oily tongue" de? ceptive manner, well calculated to mislead the colored people. Their nominees were then made for tho various offices for State and dis- ' trict. as follows: Por the Senate, (V. S. Collins, Mr. Stobel, Eben Hays and Bolivar DuRant rt '.tas B. A. Thompson. For the House, J. E. Dunlop, Commissioner in Equitv; A. Q. Mc? Duffie, Coroner; N. C. McDufho, ?Sheriff; A. J. Shaw, Provost Judge; B. C. McIntyre, Clerk of Court. The latter name, we bebeve. bas for? mally accepted the nomination. GEORGETOWN. A correspondent in Georgetown sends tho following particulars of a Republican meeting, beld on the 1th instant: The Republicans made their nominations to? day, with enthusiastic demonstrations. The freedmen from their respective plantations 18 sembled en masse to participate in the selec- ; tion of their representatives to the General Assembly. Prior to the meeting groups were to be seen in every direction on Bay-street, holding their caucusses and cLUcussing (he ? merits and demerits of the respective candi- . dates for nomination. The shrill shriek of the ufe, however, soon summoned them to their rendezvous, where a bot contest ensued be? tween the friends and supporters of the several candidates, lasting until near five o'clock, with . the following results: For Senate-J. H. Rainey (colored). House of Representabves-H. W. Webb ; (white), W. H. Jones, Jr. (colored), F. F. Mil? ler (white). Clerk ot the Court-Calvin Coe (white). For Sheriff-S. R. Carr (whito). The probability is that the above ticket Trill be revised, and the name of F. F. Miller be stricken therefrom, as it was afterwards ascer? tained that he procured his nomination through gross misrepresentations, and still grosser im? position upon the credulity of the ilhterato freedmen. LEXINGTON. At a meeting of the Democratic citizens of Lexington District, held on Monday last, tho following nominations were made: For State Senator-Dr. F. S. Lewis. Representatives-Daniel Kinsler, Noah Huff? man. Clerk of Court-E. J. H. Dreher. Ordinary-Adam Efird. Sheriff-S. M. Root. Tax Collector-J. S. Derrick.

A MARYLANDER.-The editor of the Baltimore Gazette, recently a so jouraei in Charleston, seems to have taken a decidedly sombre view of the aspect of affairs iiere. He gives his impressions of our com? munity as follows : The people, as far as I can judge, bear themselves with a calm, staunch courage that LS admirable. They will not abandon the hone that the land ot their fathers is one day to be rescued from the domination of the ignorant negroes and the prownng strangers who have Deen enabled to take possession of it. They >ee that it is idle to contend with the mighty power which now brandishes over them tho sword of the conqueror, but they know also :iiat rights miy be redeemed sometimes by infiincning endurance when their vindication }y ether lueaus bas failed, and they have set bemselves down to suffer patiently, in tao rust that time will bring redress. Broken in ortune they are unbroken in spirit, and face beir appalling troubles undismayed, '.nth :he courtesy which ever distinguished them bey are BB ready as ever to extend to a friend .he bospitabties of their bornes. Men who a few years ago would have invited you to tables idorned with the elegancies and crowned with tho' luxuries of life, will ask you now to sbare their humble or scanty faro with the same ruict grace with which they were wont to bid you to their fi-astintrs. They know no lake shame in their -..ltered 6tato, and have no apol? ogies to ma tt for their poverty. THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL. THE PROCEEDINGS ON SATURDAY. HOW THE PROSECUTION CLOSED. The Senate on Saturday met at eleven A. M., and took up Mr. Sherman's motion to throw open tho galleries during tho impeachment. Mr. Conness feared this would lead to rebellion and other disorders, but was willing to risk it for three days, and then, supposing the life of the nation to survive, to open or shut on the general public as might import best to senato? rial wisdom. Mr. Frelinghuysen was not ap? prehensive of a rebellion, but thought if the doors were thrown open the people of this city would secure more than a fair sbare of seats. Mr. Davis offered an amendment designed to prevent white persons being excluded from seats by negroes addicted to early rising, which suggestion almost throw Mr. Morrill into a spa6ra. The d?bate continued in a piquant style, but was cut short by the arrival of the hour for opening tho court. We copy the In? telligencer's summary: "The House of Representatives" were an? nounced, made their grand entrance, some seventeen in number, and were accommodated with seats without difficulty. Mr. L. L. Walbridge was the first witness. He was a stenographer; took notes of tho Pres? ident's St. Louis spoech, and testified to the correctness of the report in tho St. Louis Dem? ocrat of Sunday, September 9,1806. After a brief cross-examination, the speech was read by tho Secretary. It had doubtless been tho expectation of the House managers to produce a good doa! of sensation and amusement by ibis reading; but, savo from a sot of profes? sional claquers in the middle aisle, nothing of tins kind was elicited. Mr. Morrill did, in? deed, once or twice indulge in a smile, but gave no other sign of special gratification. Mr. Colfax behaved with customary propriety. The speech was a pretty damaering one to the Radical cause; it was not, perhaps, very smooth or oratorical in its structure, but for an off-hand effort it exposed capitally the Con? gressional intrigues by which a conflict of races was precipitated at New Orleans, and the slavery of the Freedmen's Bureau substituted ior the old domination of the planter, as well as the hickory by which in one bill a small sum was given by way of bounty to the white soldier, a larger sum to the nepro, and S4000 per annum extra compensation to the bomb? proof Radical Congressmen. In short, tho speech was a telling aud effective arraignment cf Congress; but we could not help reflecting that tho very body of partisans whose miscon? duct was thus held up by the Presideut to the people on that occasion had now a fino oppor? tunity to wreak a safe revenge-sittinjras a court ot impeachment to determine whether their accuser before their common master, the people, should hold office, or whether they should not seize tho opportunity to turn him out and put a member of their own body in his place. Of course, such a conjecture of cir? cumstances will be conceded to be eminently favorable to the exercise of the judicial faculty. Mr. Joseph A. Dean, another stenographer, also took notes of tho St. Louis speech, and made a report which he stated to be substan? tially correct. This was put in evidence. On a brief cross-examination this witness testified that for an ordinary speaker it would take four times as long to write out his speech as ho would be in speaking, and for a rapid speaker seven times as long. This testimony was un? derstood to have some bearing upon that of the Radical ?diter thc other day, who pretended to mako a verbatim report in long hand, on his knee, of the President's spoech at Cleveland. Mr. Robert S. Chew, Chief Clerk of tho State Department, was the next witness, and01)ave his evidence in a very succinct and intelligent manner. He testified that the old form of commissions was "during the pleasure of the President for the time being; but that since 1 the passage of the Tenure-of-ofiice law the i phraseology had been "subject to tho con- 1 ditious prescribed by law." On cross-examina? tion by Mr. Stanbery, Mr. Chew stated that no ; commission had ever issued with the words, or i their equivalent, "to hold office until removed by tho President, with the consent of the Sen? ate." Since the 2d of .March, 1867. no com- 1 mission had been issued to tho head of a j department, and during a period of thirty- . three years of official service, prior to 1867, all 1 commissions had run "during the pleasure of 1 the President." i Mr. Butler's aim seemed to be to show that thc President had recognized the Tenure-of- . office law, or, at least, had avoided, as far as ; possible, any infraction of it. Suppose it were J to appear, as contended for, that in ordinary 1 routine cases the President had yielded his convictions for the Bake of peace, and only made a stand when it was proposed to foist an ' odious cabinet officer upon bis confidence, who 1 then would appear as tho aggressor and fit ? subject for impeachment ? But it will bo no? ticed that the phraseology employed by the State Department commission carefully leaves the validity of the Tenure-of-office law to be . hereafter determined, as Mr. Johnson desired, by the judicial tribunals. General Butler next put in evidence a list 1 furnished by Mr. Seward, exhibiting one re? moval, viz : that of Mr. Pickering, during the session of the Senate (be being the only Cabi? net officer down to 1807 who ever refused to re? sign), and also a great number of acting, und several ad interim appointments of Secreta? ries. These cases being similar in principle to that ot General Thomas, really went to prove up the President's case. Mr. Stanbery wanted to ask whether Mr. Chew ever knew ot a Cabinet officer, who, on hoing requested to resign, bad declined so to do; but this damaging question Mr. Butler would not consent should he put. Stanton and Pickering are, however, known to be thc only cuBes of the Cabinet-barnacle type on record. Aa General Butler read the letter of Pickering to Mr. John Adtms, giving his reasons for re? fusing to resign, it was curious to note the correspondence in some passages with tho let? ter of Mr. Stanton, the cool, easy defiance with which Pickering declined to accede to the Pres? ident's "overture," as he called it; but then Mr. Pickering pleaded the pecuniary induce? ments for his resolve to "stick,: '.nth a candor that Mr. Stanton has not copied; though in other respects the cr-ses accord. Mr. Butler's next effort was to read a letter of President Johnson to Secretary Mcculloch in respect to the appointment of General Grant to the War Department, m order to show that by this notification the Tenure-of-offico law waa recognized. General Butler should not need to be told that one part of a law may be good, and another bad. The letter of the President was under the "eighth section," and noue other, which, in case of changes in pub? lic officers, made it the duty of the President to notify the Treasury officials. After the usual recess, General Butler, who bas managed the impeachment cause almost exclusively, and with conceded ability, deter? mined to gratify his silent and obsequious sub? ordinates by a grand dress parade. Accord? ingly, Messrs. Boot well, Wilson and Bingham were each allowed to get up in turn and read documents for about five or ten minutes each. This being over. Mr. Butler formally announced that he had closed his case. Ht might have a witness or two to make "cumulative" proof, but "substantially" he was done. Mr. CILUB tben asked that the court should adjourn until Thursday to give time to the President's coun? sel to collect, collate, and prepare their testi? mony and proofs. He stated that they would have* few oral witnesses, but a good deal of documentary evidence, which they wished tune to collect and prepare, and by tbie allowance thpv would, as members ot the profession could well understand, actually savo time. Thc general feelinp; of the Senate was to al? low this time without making difficulty, but Mr. Sumner tried hard to prevent this indul? gence. Amjug th08ewho supported Ur. Sum? ner iu this were Mr. Conkling, the inevitable Mr. Drake, Mr. Morgan, who has so far given partisan votes even on motions to adjourn, and Mr. Stowart-who "sticks" to one ei?e firmly. Per contra. Mr. Howard, who, tboagh ultra, is a good lawyer, knew a refusal would net be re g.irded as decent by his profession, and voted "aye " Mr. Tipton, fortified by thirty-six ad? herents, announced in shrill treble a flat re? bellion from the yoke of his cJlcague, Mr. Thayer. In fact, the very depths were loosen? ed, and the Chief Justice for an instant found himself in tho Court he wished the Senate to be. And so tho trial stands over until Thursday. It is but fair to General Butler to Bay, that con? sidering thc laoat weakness of bia cause und the absence of any useiul assistance from his colleague*, ho has fought a stout battle with the legal giant* opposer! to him. TESTIMONY FOB THE PRESIDENT TN IMPEACH? MENT-EFFORTS OF EXTREMISTS FOR CONVIC? TION-PROBABILITIES OF FATE AND IMPARTIAL TBLAL-GENERAL SHERMAN'S TESTIMONY-THE ARGUMENTS, ETC. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Sun writet. under date of the 5th inst.: There are many points to bc made in evi? dence by tho defence which are not anticipated by the public possibly; but, nevertheless, they arise legally and pertinently in the trial, and will make the defonco so complete that, even were not the case presented by tho impeachers so flimsv and utterly devoid of proof of guilty knowledge or criminal intent on the part of the President, the Senate would be compelled to render a verdict of acquittal. It is, however, tho general impression among tho public, and especially among mere superfi? cial observers, that uo matter how thoroughly and entirely tho defence may be maie out, the Senate will convict as a party measure This is believed by many, because the im? peachers unequivocally proclaim to outsiders that there is no doubt of a conviction, and yet it is well known that these same impeachers are seriously exercised becauaeof their failure to obtain assurances from certain fourteen Re? publican senators that they will convict with? out refereuco to law or testimony. To the cre? dit of theso reticent senators, be it known that they have not agreed to any result, and that tliey proposo to try the case upon its merits and the law and testimony as presented in the trial. Such has been then- response thus far when approached by the schemers. Nothing undaunted, however, the extreme Radicals have organized for a vigorous and what they say will be an irresistible movement upon the'obstiuat3 senators, and they expect this week to send to each particular member their supposed influential constituents, to threaten or entreat a promise to convict. Such is their plan, as wc have it from an authentic source. It is more than probable, however, that the be? sieged senators will administer proper rebukes to their besiegers for such disgraceful attempt to tamper with tho Senate. All the defence de? mands is that the case may be tried and deter? mined upon tho constitution, the law and the facts that may bo adduced in evidence. General Sherman arrived hero to-day in re? sponse to :v subpoena requiring him to testily fov the defendant. Judtre Curtis will mako che argument tor tho President on Thursday next, aud, as now arranged, the other spoccbes on tho same side will bo made by Messrs. Evarts and Stan bery, in tho order here named. It is understood the two remaining speeches tor the prosecution are to bo marje by Boutwell and Bingham, tho latter to make tho closing argument. _ _ Tue Wrongs of Ireland. MB. GLADSTONE'S RESOLUTIONS ON THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION-QUEEN VICTORIA ASKED TO CEDE HER ECCLESIASTICAL INTERESTS. By the steamship Hausa, at this port, we have the verbatim text of Hr. Gladstone's reso? lutions on thc Irish Church question, proposed to Parliament on the 23d of March. A tele? graph synopsis of the r?solutions reached us by the Atlantio cable, but it was of a very meagre character, particularly in the report of j the third resolution. THE RESOLUTTONS. In the House of Commons on the 23d of March, Mr. Gladstone, who was received with opposition cheers, said : Tho motion which I wish to make on the Irish Church will be in the form of three resolutions, to be moved in com? mittee on acts relating to the Established Church in Ireland, and the terms of three j t resolutions will bo these: 11 1. That, in the opinion of this House, it is necessary that the Established Church of Ire? land should cease to exist as an establishment -(opposition cheers)-duo regard being had to all personal interests and to all individual 11 rights of property. (Ironical ministerial cheers j f and laughter. ) 2. That, subject to the foregoing considera lions, it is expedient to prevent tho creation of new personal interests by the exercise of any public patronage-(cheers)-and to confino the operations of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners of Ireland to objects of immediate necessity or involving individual nghts pond- ' ins: the final decision of Parliament. 3. That ahnmble address be presented to her t Mojesty, humbly to pray that, with a view to t' the purposes aforesaid, her Majesty wotdd be graciously pleased to place at the disposal of Parliament her interest in the temporalities of the archbishoprics, bishoprics and other ecclesiastical dignities and benefices in Ireland and in the custody thereof. (Opposition | fl cheers). The right honorable gentleman continued [ gave notice on Friday that I would take the t liberty of asking Her Majesty's government .. either to-day or to-morrow-whichever day might best suit them-whether it was compati? ble, in their views of the state ot public busi? ness, to afford any assistance for the discussion of this motion; and perhaps the right honor? able gentleman will now bo pleased to say what view he takes of that matter. In case it should not be in the power of the right honorable gentleman to afford such assistance I should then feel it my duty to bring it on the first day [ could regularly propose it, which, I believe, would be on Friday next, as an amondment cn going into Committee of Supply. A PHASE OF FASHIONABLE LIFE n NEW YORK. In Twenty-third-street, near Madison ave? nue, is a genuine gambling house, patronized exclusively by females. The Kew York corres? pondent of a Syracuse paper describes it as fol? lows : It is a modest, unpretentious-looking house, the entrance scrupulously clean, and pre? senting no different appearance, externally, than those adjoining, save tho blinds are all tightly closed. Ringing tho boll, we are ad? mitted by a gorgeously apparelled woman, who acts as janitresu. Un'ouo side of the hall is a superb painting of Leda and the Swan, on the opposite side is another painting, equally good, of Venus rising from the sea. Ascending the stairs, we aro ushered into the parlors on the first floor. They are elegantly, even luxurious? ly furnished. The person who fitted up these rooms must have bad exquisite taste. The t paintingB hanging on the walls are rare and valuable, but the most conspicuous, and the one that first strikes the eye 1 and rivets the attention, is tbe painting by Ary Schaffer of the gambling scone from Bulwer's play of "Money," and for which, it is stated,' August Belmont bas offered $20,000, and been refused. Seated around the e room and at the gaming table are a number of ' f ladies, all of whom are dressed in the heitiht of fashion. The players are flushed with excite? ment; but the dealer, in her Pompadour waist, half revealing, half concealing an ample bust, sits calm and collected, and rakes in the "chips" with the utmost sang-froid. Ever and anon some player, when a neavy bet is lost, calls for wine, which is speedily supplied by an attentive and demure looting Hebe. That lady at the centre of thu table, Bitting between Anonyma and Aspasia, is the wde ol one of our most wealthy merchants. I could tell you her n ame, but tales must 1 * never bo told out ol school. Observe that young t lady with a bonnet no larger than a cockle shell and Bismarck brown ribbons; the one who is now taking off her diamond nug to stake, and which abe will lose as sure as eggs are eggs, is the daughter of an ex-judge. Ah 1 our wealthy merchant's wife is a loser; see, Bho rises from the table, biting her hps till tho I blood cornea to conceal her emotions. Come, ' ( let us away. Such scenes do not make om* opinion of poor, weak human nature the moro exalted. Is it any wonder that we BO frequently see rewards offered for lost diamond rings, neck? laces and bracelets ? If we had the power of j Asmodeus, wo would seo these "lost" articles m the safe of some gentleman who has tor his sign tho old Lombardy emblem of three bal H. The thirst for gambling will never be satisfied, and money must be obtained. THE TRIAL OF JEFFERS ON DAVIS POSTPONED. We have already staled that the trial of Jeffer? son Davis had been postponed until the 2d of May next. The fallowing is tho order of Judge Underwood in tho case: 27te Unued Stiles vs. Jefferson Davis_Coun? sel having boen beard in this cause for the United States and for tbe defendant, it is now ordered that thc defendant have leave to de? part hence until Saturday, tlie 2d of May next, nt 10 o'clock in the forenoou of that day, at which day and hour he is require 1 tobe and appear personally before this court, according to the condition of bin recognizance.
