Mr. Mill said he was sorry to place hil in opposition to those who desired to m our criminal law, but by their efforts th plication of that death penalty was now fined to cases of murder. At this po ii thought they should stop, and allow the ishment of death to remain as a penalt the highest climes known to the law.

FIELD AS SECRETARY OF WAR-GENERAL GRANT AFTER YELLOW JACK. WASHINGTON, April 24.-The court meets hereafter at noon. Mr. Edmunds moved that the senatorial speeches on the final vote be published by the official reporters. Sumner objected and the motion goes over. Mr. Nel Bon resumed his argument. The House did no business. Just before the Senate adjourned the Presi? dent's secretary arrived with a number of messages. Immediately after the adjourn? ment an excited crowd gathered around, and the messages were opened amid apparently in? tense anxiety, showing that the President's action fis stall regarded as of some moment. The President bas withdrawn the nomina? tion of Ewing, and nominated General J. H. Schofield as Secretary of War, tice Stanton, to be removed. General Grant bas issued an order instruct? ing commanding generals in the military dis? tricts, embracing Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, that all ves? sels arriving at ports in their commands from ports infected with yellow fever, cholera or other epidemic diseases, but having had no case during their passage, be quarantined for fifteen days and thoroughly fumigated.

In ??e Court of Impeachment Mr. Nelson spoke all day, and kept the senators and gal? leries intereoted throughout, the attention becoming cloBer as tho argument neared its end. His points were well made, and in some cases were startling. Mr. Groesbsck speaks to-morrow. The end will not be reached in less than two weeks. A pointed part of Nelson's argument impli? cates four of the managers in an affair which -interrupted the relations between the President and Judge black. v Tlie Elections. NORTH CAROLINA.

The Amendment to the Bankrupt Act The following is the full text of the amend ment to the Bankrupt act, passed this week bj the House of Representatives, deferriug th( operation of the fifty per cent, clause unti January 1,1869: A BELL in amendment of an act entitled "Ar act to establish a uniform system of bank? ruptcy throughout the United States," ap? proved March 2, eighteen hundred and sixty seven. Be U enacted, dc. That the provisions ol the second clause of the thirty-third section of said act shall not apply to the cases ol proceedings in bankruptcy commenced prior to the first day of January, eighteen hun? dred and sixty-nine, and the time during which the operations of the provisions ol said clause is postponed shall be extended until said first day ot January, eighteen hun? dred and sixty-nine. And said clause is hereby amended so as to read as follows: In all pro? ceedings in bankruptcy commenced after the first day of January, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, no discharge shall be granted to a debtor whose assets shall not be equal to fifty per centum of the claims proved against his estate npon which he shall be liable as the principal debtor, unless the assent in writing of a majority in number and value of his credi? tors to whom he shall have become liable as principal debtor, and who shall have proved their claims, be filed in the case at or before the time of the hearing of the application for discharge. SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That said act be further amended as follows : The phrase "presented or defended" in the fourteenth sec? tion of said act shall read "prosecuted or de? fended;" the phrase "nor resident debtors''in line five, section twenty-two, of the act as printed in the Statutes at Large, shall read; "nor resident creditors ;" that the word "or" in the next to thc last line of the thirty-ninth section of the act shall read, "and ;" that the phrase "section thirteen" in the forty-second section of said act shall read "section eleven," and the phrase "or spends any part thereof in gaming" in the fortv-fourth section of said act shall read, "or shall spend any part thereof in gaming ;" and that the words "with the semor register or" and the phrase "to be delivered to the register," in the forty-seventh section of said act, be stricken out. SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That registers in bankruptcy shall have power to administer oaths in all cases, and in relatioa to all matters in which oaths may be adminis? tered bv commissioners of the circuit courts of the United States, and such commissioners may take proof of debts in bankruptcy in ali cases, subject to the revision of Buch proofs by the register and by the court, according to the provisions of said* act. ;Mr. Paine, of Winconsin, also gave notice that an effort would soou bo made to make the pro? visions of the bill absolute for the discharge of debtors, no matter what proportion of their indebtedness they may bc able to pay. I POLITICS US THE STATK. ELECTION RETURNS. As far as can be ascertained, the returns Bhow a total vote of 93,824, of which there are for the constitution 68,381; against the con 6titution, 24,933. Majority for the constitu? tion, 43,548. The following districts have not reported in fall: Chesterfield, Clarendon, Greenville, Orangeburg and Pickens. GREENVILLE. The Greenville Mountaineer says that the total vote in this district was 2381. For the constitution 1607, against 774-majority for the constitution 833. The total registered vote of the district was about 3600. There were, therefore, 1200 voters who did not turn out; quite a sufficient number to have changed the result of the election. It is presumed that these 1200 were mostly white men. We have, as yet, received no report of the proportion of negro votes and white votes; but we infer that most of the 1400 registered neatoes voted, and, with very few exceptions, mth tho Re? publicans. In this district no organization was attempt? ed by the Democratic and Conservative party till it was too late to accomplish the result that was attained in the surrounding districts, by their earlier and more active arrangements.

The white man's government in South Carolina is destroyed, and the State, we fear, becomes a St. Domingo. YORK. In this district the Radical majority is 66. The constitution has been ratified by a major? ity of 250. The following Radicals are elected to the State Senate and House by a vote rang? ing from 1747 to 1762: Senate-W. E.

TION-AN ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS OF 8ENA The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes: In view of the intense interest manifested over the whole country to anticipate, as far as possible, the result of the impeachment trial, your correspondent has prepared an analysis bf the votes of those ten senators upon whom it is conceded will depend the acquittal or con? viction of President Johnson. Tho following thirty-one senators are regarded as open and avowed advocates of conviction, regardless of their oaths, and without any reference to the law and the facts, viz: Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness,? Cragin, Drake, Edmunds. Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Har? lan, Henderson, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Mor? rill (of Maine), Morrill (of Vermont), Morton, Nye, PattejaAi (of New Hampshire), Pomeroy, Ramsey, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Wade, Wilson, Williams and Yates. These thirty-one senatorial judges are regarded here as mere politicians and ready tools of party that class of men at which Mr. Stevens felt confident ho would not shake his finger in vain, when he told them they doro not oppose impeachment. But there are within the ranks of the domi? nant party in the Senate ton other senators who are regarded as statesmen as well as poli? ticians, and whose votes are by no means cer? tain for conviction-senators who are believed to be determined to consult only their own con sciences in arriving at a just conclusion upon the law and the facts submitted to the court. The names of these ten Senators are Anthony, Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Ross, Sherman, Sprague, Trumbull, Van Winkle and Willey. Any seven of these Republicans voting with the twelve Democrats will defeat impeachment and secure the acquittal of Andrew Johnson. Hence it becomes interesting to ascertain pre? cisely how these ten eeuators have been voting on all the numerous propositions pro and con submitted to the court. After giving an elaborate review of tho suc? cessive test votes of the trial, he adds : "It is difficult to read the record of tho ton senators named and conclude that the President is to be convicted." The Springfield Republican says : Many of the reports and dispatches from Washington throw doubts upon the result of the Senate's vote on the conviction of the President. But our private advices sustain tho judgment we have all along expressed, that conviction is inevitable, and will follow not so much from a feeling of the President's technical guilt or innocence on this or that charge, as from the feeling that it is a neces? sity of the political condition of the country, and earned by its victim by his interference with tho legislative branch of the government, and his trifling with the public peace. We are assured that no more than three Republican senators are likely, under any circumstances, to vote for the President. These are Grimes, of Iowa, Van Winkle, of West Virginia, and Fowler, of Tennessee. The withdrawal of these from the Republican vote against the President still leaves it several in excess of the number necessary to a conviction. The pre? sent week will undoubtedly witness the con? clusion of the whole matter-the d?posai of one President and the institution of another. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, says : Tho best judges of the situation in Washing? ton have come to the conclusion, to-night, that there can be no doubt upon the result of im? peachment. Some have said that Senators Grimes, Fowler and Van Winkle may be among the minority ; but it is now generally conceded that upon the articles in reference to breaking the law and swinging around tho circle expedi? tion, there will be a stout party vote. A promi? nent New Yorker offered a wager to-night that Reverdy Johnson would vote tor conviction on questions ot law. The case will go into court Monday next, and very possibly a decision may be rendered on the day following. Mr. Wade has not in my way anticipated his course if he should become President. He has made no remarks whatever on the subject, and has de? clared that he will listen to no conversations and receive no suggestions until after thc vote is cast. Should he be called to tho chair of the Chief Magistrate, he will then merely appoint his Cabinet and make no other change until after the Chicago Convention. POLITICAL GOSSIP. Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes under date of tho 21st inst.: The talk among thc Radicals is now that if by any remote contingency Mr. Johnson should escape conviction, Congress will re? main here until close of the presidential elec? tion, but if, ns they expect, he gives place tc Mr. Wade, that body will "hurry up the cakes," so as to leave here by the first of July. In this latter event it is calculated to let the subject of the finances and thc taxes go by thc board until next winter. The terms of a dozen or moro of the Radical senators expire next JIarch, and many of the Radical members of the House will" have a t )ugh time in getting back. None of these gentlemen have any tune to lose; they say thc v c in smooth over the neglect to cuter upon thu question of tho finances and tho reduction of the taxes by blaming it on the President and the time lost in his trial, and by promising; to go to work busily next winter. With a crea? ture of their own in the White House, and tho coutrol of the entire Federal patronage, North and South, all these gentry expected tore turn to their seats here and obtain unlimited control of the government for four years more. BECOVEBY OF CONFEDERATE PB0PEBTY IS E? BO?E-REPOST OF THE SECltETABX OF THE TBEASURT. The Secretary of the Treasury sent a com? munication to the House on Monday, in reply to a resolution concerning the efforts of the Department for the recovery of Confederate property in Europe, and contracts with agents or attorneys in relation thereto. Also infor? mation concerning a settlement made by the firm of Fraser, Trenholm & Co. The Secretary say s: The efforts of the government to recover Confederate property abroad have not been confined to Europe, but have been extended to other parts of the world, especially to the West Indies, in which the exertions have been dili? gently and successfully prosecuted; but as the resolution of the House applied only to such efforts made in Europe, this only constitutes the subject of the Secretary's communication. The Secretary says proceedings were commenc? ed soon after the cessation of hostilities in the Southern States. The result of all these arrangements has been the actual recovery of property of the Confederates to a large amount, with much more which it is confidently believ? ed will in duo time be recovered. To end the controversy, or suits in England, with Fraser, Trenholm *& Co., an arrangement waa made with them in September, 18C7, which was ap? proved by the President, concerned in the United States receiving and that from paying precisely that which the Unitod States may lawfully claim in a court of chancery, neither more nor less, in substance as follows: Deliver? ing up the property of tho Confederate States, unless the same be subjected to excepted legal or equitable undoubted claims of theirs, valid in law, on contracts made during their agency for the Confederates. The agreement secures all to which the United States are entitled. This government has recovered, by suit in admiral? ty, four of the cruisers of the Confederate Gov? ernment, viz: the Sumter, Tallahassee, Shenan? doah and Itappauannock, together with some other miscellaneous parcels and property, amounting in proceeds to $160.476. In these cases the government has steadily contended that it baa the right in law to take possession Df any public property of tho Confederates wherever it may be found, whether at home or in any foreign countries, claiming power to do this summarily and as of right, and of course in the United States or on the high seas, de? manding of the foreign courts of law in for? eign countries that they shall, co-operate in enabling the United States to reclaim the prop? erty by suit if brought into the ports of any such foreign government. Suits are pending in England against sundry parties, among tvhich are the Blakeny Ordnance Company, to recover ordnance contracted for bythe Confede? rates, as also against two oft he financial agents Df the Confederacy, namely : Janies B. Fergu? son and Colin McBao. The archives of the jo-called Confederate Government, now in possession of the United States, show that nany millions were received aud dis- : cursed by McRae on Confederate loans in Europe, and the object of the suit is to .each any balance which may have remained in his hands at the time of the extinction of :he Confederacy. There is only one snit in france, but that is of considerable importance is to the principio to bo decided. It is against ne wealthy ship-building firm of Annan Fils c Co., to recover a large amount placed in heir hands to be employed in tho construction )f a ship or ships-of-war for the uso of tho Confederate Government. The case has not ?et come to an issue. The receipts of the Jnited States Treasurer, Mr. Spinner, special .gent on account of Confederate property re overed in Europe, show tho following result : Proceeds from the Bale of the steamer Shenan loah, $108,632 18 ; from thc sale of the Sumter . ,nd Tallahassee, $32,715 48 ; from R. P. Wal? er, Confederate agent, $2.809 49. Total, $144, 57 15. The disbursements on account ot the hove were $90,308 76 for counsol's fees, special I gents, &c., Hon. Caleb Cushinc: received a fee , fS5000. Tho Secretary of the Treasury says, ( auch exaggeration existed ns to the balance emaining in thc hands of the Confederates broad. CHANGES OF GAUGE-AN INGENIOUS INVEN ION.-The Cincinnati Enquirer says that Mr. I lenry Arden, of that city, hos invented and j ?atented a machine or apparatus which gives he promise of great utility. It is thus de ciibed: Its purpose is to avoid the obstacles which rise from differences of gauge in connectiug nes of railway. It is a contrivance for speed- ( ly raising and lowering the bodies of cais, in ach a manner that the trucks of the broad ? lay bo exchanged for those of the narrow 1 ango, and Bice oersa, connected with a time ? tibie, for thc more readily moving both cars nd trucks, according to requirement. The t lan is one of prent simplicity and facility of ction, and the apparatus will bo far from cos t r, and we cannot otherwise than believe it a ( ery happy mve ition. MANGANESE STEEL.-Wo have heretofore no iced the works for the manufacture of steel, in 1 luckbridge county, Va., on a large scale, 1 mder a new process, which, it is understood, i rill come successfully in competition with tho ] iow famous Bessemer process originated in ?ngland. A Mr. Sibert is the discoverer of he Rockbridge process, the manufacture of 1 he manganese steel from iron ore, and has 1 aken steps to secure its benefits by patents in ll the principal countries of Europe. The locumonts go out to the proper agents in Eu ope, where the patents will be issued lo Mr. iibert and his appointee and joint owner, Mr. kady, of Rockbndge. -Governor Eyre was Governor of Jamaica rhen the insurrection in that island occurred, < nd he took pi om pt measures that ended law- , sssness, and saved many lives. In this he isited summary punishment upon some of thc . nsurgents; and forthwith the philanthropists et up a howl that was ro-ecboed across the , eas, and the Government of England was lamorously called upon by them for Governor ' lyre's head in a charger.

Physicians prescribe it; why should yoi discard it ? Jndges, usually considered men of ta lent, have used and do use it in their families; whj should j ou rej ect it ? Let not your prejudice usuri your reason to the everlasting injury of ye ur health If you are sick, and require medicine, try these Bit ters. When the bodily energies are worn out by aux i pty and need a stimulant this is the best that car be taken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from levering the blood ; and hence it does not pioduce a mere tem? porary excitement, to be followed by injurious reac? tion, but communicates a permanent potency to the entire vital organization. Some of its herbal consti? tuents are slightly soporific, so that in cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of nerv? ous disease, a dose of it taken towards bedtime will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors, hysterics, fainting nts, general restlessness and the causeless fears and dis? tressing fancies to which ladies are especially sub? ject, under certain morbid conditions of mind and body peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will be found the roost agreeable an'rl certain of all counter-irri? tants. The constitutionally nervous may readily keep their infirmity in constant check by the doily use of this healthful vegetable tonic; and those who have "shattered their nerves," as the phrase is, either by Imprudent indulgence or undu - physical or intel? lectual labor, will find in this vitalizing elixir a prompt restorative. 6 April 25 ?B-TEAS AND COFFEES.

We propose holding. A FLORAL FESTIVAL OE FAIR, during the latter port of the coming month of Moy, hoping we may thereby realize a sufficient amount to enable us to continue during the present year the various religious and charitable works which wc hove commenced, and thus fax carried on with great success, but which we must necessarily but reluc? tantly abandon, unless we derive old from some source. The plan ot a Festival or Fair, during the season of flowers, hos suggested itself to oar minds, and we feel assured that it only requires your assis? tance to moke it a complete success. We propose that the ladies of each church preparo one table or booth, supplying the same with such ar? ticles tor sale as their own good judgment may sug? gest believing that a generous emulation thus en? gendered, os to which sh'jU best succeed, will, when oU are combined in one collection, present a most elegant and complete display; and, furthermore, that each table remata under the control of the ladles who prepared it in order that at the close of the Fair it may be seen which hos succeeded be.-1 in the enter? prise, and thereby contributed the largest amount towards the cause in which we are all BO interested. We, therefore, respectfully call upon the ladies composing the various congregations of all evangeli? cal denominations in this city, to combine among themselves, and commence at once the preparation of such anieles as their own fancy and judgment may dictate. jLetoll assist, the humblest as well a? the wealthiest, and with united ene-gies carry out this work. The members of the Association will, one and all, cheerfully perform all and every labor that may be required rf them, and will hold themselves always in readiness to obey every reqacs . Those ladies who are willing to assist us are re? quested to meet every Friday AJttrnovn at Five o'clock, in tho rooms of the Association (in King street over Messrs. FOGABTIE k STILLMAN'S Store), to confer with eoch other and the officers of the As? sociation, and perfect euch arrangements as may be? come necessary in carrying out tho plan suggested to a successful termination.
