Our Washington Dispatches. THE PEESTDENT'S TBIAL-ABGUMENT BY JUDGE CUB TIS-GENERAL THOMAS ON THE STAND THE MANAGEB8 DEFEATED. WASHINGTON, April 10.-Nothing was done in either house previous to the impeachment trial. In the Senate Judge Curtis proceeded with his speech, and concluded at half-past 2 P.M. In the course of bis argument on the theory and practice followed in vacancies and appoint? ments, Judge Curtis claimed that the evidence would show several instances corresponding with those of Stanton and Thomas. He insist? ed that Thomas was duly appointed, the ap? pointment requiring the President's nomina? tion and commission. He characterized the allegation that no vacancy existed as begging . the question. The legal vacancy existed the moment Stanton received the letter. Recapi? tulating bis argument, Judge Cartis claimed that the managers had failed to show that the President had violated the constitution and laws. He then proceeded to argue the charges in relation to conspiracy. The fourth and sixth articles charge violation of the laws of 1861. He read the law, and said its provisions applied to the States and Territories, but were inoperative in the District of Columbia. He did not, however, rest on this techni? cality, bat argued tha ; in law the preliminary movements of a principal or his agent, to bring before a court a private claim, purged their actions of conspiracy. Judge Cartis claimed that this was applicable, in a broader sense, to public rights. The relations of a superior and an inferior officer also precluded the idea of con? spiracy. He would answer the fifth and seventh articles in connection with the 10th, in neither of which was the President charged with the violation of any law. The ninth article was dis? proved by the testimony of General Emory, who swore that he had introduced an objec? tionable topic, and had drawn out the Pres;- : dent's opinion. It would be shown in proof that the Presi? dent sent for Emory for a different purpose from that alleged in the article. Tj] arguing the tenth article, Judge Curtis. ' discussed impeachable oQences. Withotit vexing the ears of senators with prece? dents from the middle ages, he would i refer to the provisions of the constitution, whose framers knew qrute as much as the men who lived in the times of the Planta gen?ts. He also cited old English laws and 1 the Federal sedition laws, showing that troth- I fol utterances, howev&r offensive, were not < punishable. The peculiar manner in which '. this charge was brought showed that Congress had resolved itself into a school of manners. Judge Curtis insisted that telling the truth about officers was not an offence against the ' law, and that truth had not been questi oned in making this case. When Gen. Thomas was called for the de- 1 fence, he was stopped by the prosecution ] while describing his interview with the Presi dent when tho orders for the removal of Stan- ' ton and his own appointment were handed him. The objections were elaborately argued, by Stanbery and Evarts for the defence and But? ler and Bingham for the prosecution.' Chief 1 Justice Chase submitted the question, and the managers were defeated by a vote of42tol0. 1 Cameron, Chandler, ConnesB, Craighan, Drake, Harlau, Howard, Nye, Ramsay, Fair and Sum? ner broke ranks for the first time on this ques? tion. The testimony of Gen. Thomas elicited noth- '. ing new, beyond that the President had not in? structed him to use force. When he (Thomas) j was arrested, he went first to the President who said that was right, for the case was now in court, where he wanted it. The ruling of the Senate of forty-one to ten will tell in the eviuence-of Gen. Sherman and ' the Cabinet officers. At a Cabinet meeting to-day all the secreta? ries w'ere present except General Thomas. From the 1st to the 4th instant the receipts from customs were nearly $2,000.000.

Tho Democratic Club of Greenville held a meeting on Saturday, and Dr. E. R. Calhoun, 5. P. Boozer and W. K. Blake, Esqs., were ap? pointed :o ,istump"tho district in opnesition to the negro constitution. * The following are the Radical nominations : Senator-Rev. Valentine Young. Representatives-Geo. Dusenberry, Hutson J. Lomax, T. Bailey Millford, James Martin, Richard M. Valentine. According to previous announcement, an ad? journed meeting of the delerjstes from the various Democratic associations of the district ?vas held at Abbeville Courthouse on Monday last. The Hon. A. Burt, on behalf of the dele? gation to Columbia, read the proceedings of the convention, and made an earnest and elo? quent speech in support of the principles an? nounced by that body. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Burt's speech a committee of thirteen was appointed by the chair io nominate a ticket for the State Legis? lature. The committee then retired, and during their absence the meeting was addressed by Gen. McGowan in one of his best efforts. Li conclusion, he said : He had been elected to the Thirty-ninth Congress, but was not allowed to take his seat. He was not conscious of being deficient in patriotism. He had certainly never been con? victed of treason, and believed he could not be before any fair "and intelligent tribunal on the continent. Possibly such apolitical tribunal as is now 6ittin g in judgment on the President of the United States might write the verdict of "guil? ty,'" but it would proclaim to future ages, not his guilt, but their own infamy. He obeyed the laws of his State, and by her orders parti? cipated in the war. Whatever othera may say, he had certainly never violated any law or or? der of South Carolina. "That was the most unkindest cut of all when the well-beloved Bru? tus waB stabbed 1" He felt that he was fully the peer and equal of any member of the Forty ninth Corgres8, in fidelity to principle, truth? fulness of Character, and love ol country ! He waa not a candidate for office, like the strolling orators, cf all climes, nations and colors, who are traversing the country and stirring up the worst passions of prejudice and ignorance. He would no: turn on his heel for any office in the Sift of th<i people of America. He'would rather efend the President, now badgered bv "mon? grel puppy, whelp and hound," than to he his successor. But il his name was thought ne? cessary to organize the ?fenaervatives and to promote good government, not only that, but all that he had or hoped to be, was at the dis? posal of his fellow-citizens. The following nominations were then unani? mously adopted : For the Senate : Bev. J. N. Young.- For the House of Representatives: Dr. George W. Pressly, F. A. Connor, Robert A. Fair, J. Marion Lattimer, James C. Willard. GREENVILLE. The Enterprise speaks as follows of the per? Bons who addressed the Republicon meeting held at the Courthouse on Friday last : Major Corbin made a temperate and argu? mentative address, uttering nothing that cou ld be complained of as vindictive in spirit or in flammatory lo bis colored hearers. We must say, in justice to him, that the character of his speech was respectful to the white people of the State who differ from him, and calculated to encourage an amicable spirit among the freedmen towards then- late masters. Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was a miniature An? thony, discoursing of sweet Ctesars' wounds, and Dogging his good friends, sweet friends, the negroes, not to be stirred up to any flood of mutinv. Mr. Chamberlain declaims very well. We were sorry to see a good deal of bitterness manifested by him in the tone and temper of his remarks, although his counsel to the blacks was pacific; it was not the best calculated to produce peaceable fruits. DeLarge is a small man, has been educated, was always a freeman, we believe, and shows politeness in his manner. He was raised in Charleston. His manner of speaking is cor? rect, in the main, as moBt educated men, and he evidently has a kind disposition, contrast? ing, as we thought in this respect, favorably with the speaker who preceded him. The Buena Vista Democratic club has re? solved that it is the duty of every man who has not registered, and who can register, to do so, go to the polls at the approaching elections and vote against the Constitution recently made at Charleston, and at the same time vote for members of Congress, Legislature and other State officers.* ANDERSON. Warren D. Wilkes has declined the* nomina? tion of the "Union Republican Party" for the Senate. RICHLAND. A "grand rally" of the Democracy took place at Columbia on Wednesday overling, and was addressed by Col. J. P. Thomas and others. Capt. Bachman said that the Southern whites could never forget the colored people for their faithfulness, when all the young men were ab? sent in the army. The following is takenjfrom the report pub? lished in the Ph cenix : James G. Gibbes, Esq., the " irrepressible," was then introduced; he was warmly received, and his truthful sentiments loudly applauded. Col. A. C. Haskell, a gallant soldier in war and a christian gentleman in peace, was next Eresented. He invoked his colored hearers to e faithful, and put their trust in their old friends. The colored men, many of them, had faith in their old masters, and it has been fre? quently illustrated. He knew that, so far as he was concerned, he had always treated the colored man humanely and justly. He asked the colored men present if they would not sus? tain bim, when one of them replied, " No, we won't trust any white man." Col. Haskell informed the * impertinent fellow that he was addressing himself to those who were disposed to be honest and just, and not to the class that he suprosed that indi? vidual belonged to-the class that the whites would not trust-which hod the effect of silencing "Mr. No-Trast." He closed his re? marks by saving it was singular that many of the colored men were disposed to support men who were formerly cruel slave-owners-who it was known used the lash unmercifully, and those who had proved themselves traitors and perjurers. He advised them to vote for true white men of the South, but to avoid those who'were on the fence-who dare not declare for one side or the other. This meeting was a success in every sense :>f the term. An immense crowd of white md colored persons was in attendance, and ?verytbing passed off pleasantly. TORE. The Conservative mass meeting held in lorkville on Monday, was a great success. On he day previous to the meeting, says the En [uirer, the people from distant sections of the listrict began to pour in, and by ll o'clock on donday, as large an assemblage of white cr?- | :ens were gathered in the courthouse square ; ts any political exigency ever brought here be- \ ore. Delegates reported from Bethel, Blairsville, doods Store, Antioch, Fort Mills, Rock Hill, Buffalo, Turkey Creek, Wylie's Store, McCon- . lellsville and Clay Hill. The following nomi- 1 lations were adopted : For Senator-John H. Adams, of Bethel. For Representatives-Peter Garrison, of Ebe lezer; Dr. A. P. Campbell, of New Centre; J. 3. Williamson, Esq., of Buffalo; John Smith, Esq., of Broad River. The following resolutions were then adopted: ; Resolved, That we will, unanimously, cordi tllv and zealously sustain the nominations just , nade, and we earnestly and respectfully urge ipon all our citizens who can vote, and who lave the welfare of the Scats and District at leart, to unite, as one man, in the support of : said nominees. Besotted, lhat we approve the nomination )i Hon. Samuel Mc.Vlilev, for Congress; rion, ft". D. Porter, for Governor ; Hon. T; C. Per? rin for Lieutenant-Governor; Samuel Capers, for Secretary of State ; Colonel J. P. Thomss, for adjutant and Inspector-General; Wm. Hood, for Treasurer ; S. L. Leaplmrt, for Comptrol ;er-Ge jeral ; L W. Harne, for Attorney-Gene? ral ; J. A. Leland, for Superintendent of Edu? cation, and we will cordially support said nom nations. Resolved, Thai under the action ol the State of South Carolina, heretofore taken, we recog? nize the colored population of the State as an integral element ot the body politic ; and as such, in person and property," entitled to a full md equal protection under the State Constitu? tion and laws. And that as citizens of South Carolina, we declare our willingness, when we aave the power, to grane them under proper :jualifications as to property and intelligence, tue right ot suffrage ; and' we, therefore re jr.est the colored population to unite in the uvpport <.f the nemmatiocs made by this meeting. EDGEFLELD. At a Conservative meeting held at tho court bouse on Monday the following nominations -vero made: Senator-H. W. Addison. Representatives-John Landrum, J. P. Mick? ler, Luke Culbreath, Geo. W. Nixon, Benj. E. Nicholson, A. P. Butler, William T. Gary. At another Conservative meeting held on the same day, ex-Governor Pickens presided. General Bonham introduced a preamble and resolutions, which were adopted. The pream? ble affirms that the people of this State have ever belonged to the State Rights Democratic party, that the great mass of the American people are at least Conservative and Demo? cratic, and that there is co reason why the South should not freely unite in an honest endeavor to secure a faithful and wise admin? istration of the Federal Government. The following are the principal resolutions: Resolved, That five men be appointed in each battalion of Edgefield, whose duty it will be to assemble, as soon as possible, and organize proper concert of action throughout the district, to aid mfthe distribution of papers and documents, and all other legal means, in order to secure energetic co-operation in the election of a Democratic President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved, lhat the Central Committee of Tan now to be appointed by this meeting, have power to meet togelher at any time by call of their chairman, and to call, if necessary, the chairmans of the five committees to he ap? pointed in each battalion, to meet together with the Committee of Ten at Edgefield Court House, to consult, in order to concentrate public opinion on all measures necessary to he carried out. Resolved, That having just heard that a State Convention, assembled at Columbia, on the 2d instant, bas appointed delegates and alternates to the National Democratic Conven? tion to be assembled at New York on the 4th July next, we acquiesce in then- selections ; ort respectfully suggest, if the citizens of the State should think proper to have a more gen? eral. State Convention afier events now in progress at Washington shall take place, and further political developments be made, that the convention be atill called to meet on the third Tuesday in May next. A MAMMOTH BOCK FACTORY. THE NEW ESTABLISHMENT OF APPLETON & CO. THE GREATEST PDBLI8HNG CONCERN TN THE WORLD. Among the great comnsrcial Dames of the world, probably not one las become a more frequent "household word' than that of Ap? pleton & Co., of New York. There is scarcely a family in the United Stats, a student, or a school boy, whose library-whether consisting of stately works of Bcienceand art; of poetry, romance, history or travel of classic lore, fairy tales or the illustrated aelodiee of Mother Goose; or of the humbler Webster's Spelling Book, Cornell's G?ographes, Quackenbose' Arithmetics, and Harkness Grammars-is not written all over with the 'amiliar imprint of "Appleton." Thirty years ago the finn occupied a portion of a building in what is now known as the lower end of New York. Ten years later in? creasing business drove them into what was then regarded as the largest ant most superb bookstore in the metropolis. It was still "down town." The beginning of another de? cade, and the constant cry of tnt reading pub? lic for "more," compelled a third move-this time into vast and capacious premises, "rn surpassing in elegance those which w? vacated. A great factory was abo erected . the neighborhood, covering nearly a whole square, and rivalling in the magnitude of its operations any similar establishment in the world. Such, however, has been the progress of the age, the increase of general intelligence, the growth of the people, and the appetite for popular works, that a fourth and still greater change bas been required. Tirs time it has taken the shape of an immense 'book factory," embracing more than a million of cubic feet. The new establishment is located in Brooklyn, near the Naval Hospital, covers the four sides of a square, and, with its great tower-like structures, ?B mighty gates of oak and iron, and general castellated appearance, no stretch of the imagination is needed to recognize a similitude to some or the feudil strongholds of Europe. Some idea of the capacity of :he establish? ment and the variety of operations which en? gage the labors of ita hundreds of busy work? ers may be gathered hom the statement of a few facts. The first apartment to which the visitor is introduced is known as the "white stock room," where thousands of reams are piled awaiting their turn to be transformed into books. Beyond this is a long s tret ch of vaults, dark as the catacombs, where ten thousand boxes of stereotyped plates are labelled and stowed away, ready, at a moment's notice, for some extra edition of a popular book. Great names are inscribed on some of these parcels, but great names do not always sell. Directly over the stock room is a room for pressing and imparting to paper the smooth and sr lossy Borface with which oil our readers are familiar. This is done by means of five powerful hydraulic presses. Adjoining this is the wetting room, where the paper is damp? ened by machinery previous to its transfer to the press department. Here, nineteen presses, adapted to every variety of work, mane the noisy music of the place. In moving among this ingenious but insensate machinery one cannot help noticing the bright looking girls who stand beside each of the presses like a keeper beside an elephant, and feed Hs rave? nous maw continually. When printed, the damp sheets ore borne to the drying room, where a temperature of seventy degrees is preserved by steam pipes. A Little drawbridge connects the pressroom with the bindery, and you follow the car that trundles over it the last thousand of Muhl bach, Dickens or Webster. You enter an apartment so long that, in the perspective, it seems to dwindle to a point. Soft throbs of machinery greet the ear. They are the pulsa? tions of a score or more of steam "Alla***," which perform their worK wnn a Bpeed and accuracy unattainable by human hands. One hundred and seventy-five girls are here em? ployed, feeding, stitching and preparing the incipient volumes for the sturdier hands of man. On this floor, also, is a room full of ex? quisite prints for the illustrated works of the house. Up stairs by a steam elevator. You see a steam chopping machine which turns out three thousand covers an hour of any size. In the next room are a hundred men stamping, cutting, case-making and forwarding. Three thousand "Encyclopedias,'' nix thousand "Marie Antoinettes," ten thousand "Copper? fields,'' and twenty thousand of Appletons' "School 8erie;>," can be delivered from this de? partment daily. To the third floor, where ore conducted the finer processes of gilding, marbling and finish? ing. This is, par excellence, the artist's atelier. Sot leas than $10,000 worth of gold leaf ai e consumed hero annually. Working in cobwebs or the down of butterflies could scarcely be more tlifficult. Another and the last flight, by the elevator, landa tho passenger on the fourth floor, the main part of which is devoted to packing Spol? iera. Cornells Geographies, Quackenbo6s' Arithmetics. Harkness' Grammars, and the other popular school-books of the Louae. About fifteen thousand Spellers are here boxed, and aent forth daily. At the beginning of thc year, the demand for these Spoilers poured in so thick and fast from all parts of the country (particularly the South), that the Apple-tons were a half million copies in arrears ; out, by steady pulling, night and day, they havb caught up, and are now prepared to fill orders with dispatch. This packing-room is one of the busiest places in the factory. Seventy-five men ure here employed. In an adjacent room is a curious machine. It is a lithographic press, doing the same work as well by steam as it Ujj*d tu be done by band, and a great deal faster. On this press the maps for Apple tons' Series of Geographies are printed, flfcll this busy hive is animated by lightning. In other words, a private electric telegraph connects the Brooklyn factory with the Now York wholesale house and counting room, so that the thought of ono minute at one place may be instantly put in process of execution at the other. As a whole, it mav be confidently asserted that the premises above described are without a superior of their kind in the world. A word more concerning the Appletons and we are done-and it is a word that should com? mend them to tho people at large, and especi cally to thc parents and teachers of the Sooth. While other book puDlishers have pandered to the radical tastes of the multitude, and have flooded the South with schuol books and other publications aa poisonous to the mind of youth as the Upas tree to this body, the Appletons have carefully ignored every word or senti? ment that could add to the" weight of insult and misfortune which we have had to endure. So-called "school histories" are even now in circulation in the South which describe "Jen". Davis" as the greatest "felon" ol' modern times, and are filled with falsehood from cover to cover. Spelling booka with pictures of auc? tion b' /cfcs and burning negroes keep alive the embers ol' the war; and thousands of these iniquitous publications flood the country and seek an introduction into our schools. No such books have ever emanated from the house of Appleton. On the contrary, their school series and their classical series for colleges and acad? emies have been prepared and overlooked oy high-toned, conscientious men, whose only aim was to advance the cause of education, to invest study with attraction, and moke the school book a source of constant entertain? ment. It is for these reasons that we conceive it to bethe duty of the Southern press and people to encourage, in every poosible way, the intro? duction ot tho Appleton series into ail of our institutions of learning-great and small-so that when our voath drink at the Pierian Spring they mav not be poisoned by the fetid waters of what has become worse than Puritan fanaticism. MR. JOHNSON TELLS ON GRANT.-Speaking of the charge that he was drunk while on his Western tour in 1866, Mr. Johnson said to "Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial: "They'll find out, at any rate, that I didn't drink halt' aa much as one or two others, about whose condition nobody dares to say a word." "I think 1 can guess the name of one of them," said L "Didn't he go from Cleveland to Detroit, and wasn't it announced with a great flourish of trumpets that he had left ?our party in disgust r" "Ye6," replied the 'resident, "he went to Detroit; but it wasn't because he waa disgusted with my pol?tica at all.
