The following is the text of Sumner's proposition : "Whereas, it is pro vided in the Constitution of the United States that in a trial of impeachment, no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present; ' nr^lr.s requirement of two-thirds is not extended to the judgment on such trials, which remairs Bubject to the general law that a majority pre vails. Therefore, in order to remove any doubt therefrom, be it ordered that any question which may arise with regard to the judgment, shall be determined by a majority of the merrK bers present." v\s The following is among the sentencessof Manager Williams' speech : "Look at thch> -f bloody counsel of New Orleans, and show mercy to loyalty and innocence, and not to treason." After Williams concluded, Butler explained the manager's connection with the Alta Vela affair, alluding to Nelson's reference thereto. Butler said it was not only a suppression of truth, but a suggestion of falsehood. Nelson replied that this was not the time to measure characters with Butler. This could be done at some other time, and Mr. Nelson did not think he would Buffer from the comparison. Con siderable excitement ensued. Logan wanted to say something, but Senator Conkling, who was setting near him, said: "General, be quiet," and the affair subsided with mach suppressed wrath. Mr. Evarts then commenced, and his first accents hushed the excited assemblage. Evarts spoke until the adjournment, and will resume to-morrow. A synopsis of his speech is utter ly impossible. Alluding to the parties to the trial?to the House as the accuser; to the President as the accused; to the Senate as ju rors, and the Chief Justice as the presiding judge?the speaker saif. : "We want no volun teers. Let no one rai. > so much as a little finger to jostle the combatants. Arguing the judicial character of the proceedings, he said that to the managers who professed to speak in behalf of all the people, he would re ply in one sentence, representing bat one voice, "Thou ehalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." The indications are that Hon. Jefferson Da > via will not be tried at the next term of the court. It is stated on the public streets, but on doubtful authority, that General Grant has ad vised General Schofield to decline the War De partment, and to request the President to withdraw his name. A full Cabinet meeting was held to-day. In the House bills were introduced admit ting North Carolina and Louisiana on their adoption of the fourteenth article, and provid ing that there shall be do exclusion of classes from suffrage who are now enfranchised, and no admission of those disfranchised by the fourteenth article until restored as therein pro v?emL Affairs in Virginia. Richmond, April 28.?General Schofield to day appointed John E. Stokes, Esq., Mayor of Portsmouth. John M?lward, one of the proprietors of the Spotswood Hotel, a few days ago intimated to some friends that they would not see him aeain. He has since been missing until this afternoon, when his body was found in the canal with a ballet hole in the head. Governor Wells was serenaded to-night in celebration of the Republican victories at the South. General Schofield has issued an order fixing the quarantine of all vessels which may come to Virginia from infected ports. The Georgia Election.

Augusta, April 28.?An unofficial count of ninety counties gives Bnllock, Radical, 2268 majority. Forty-two counties still to'hear from, which will probably lessen Bullock's ma jority, and leaves the result of the election doubtful. Market Reports. New York, April 28?Noos.?

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOB THE PRESI DENCT?PENDLETON'S PROSPECTS?C Eases SYMPATHIES. "Mack," the Washington correspondent of | the Cincinnati Commercial, writes under date of April 20: The endorsement of Pendleton by the Illi nois Democratic Convention, secures his nomi nation, at New York, beyond any reasonable doubt, notwithstanding the efforts that are being made :o get up a feeling in favor of Han cock, Dix, Blair, or some other gentlemen. There is not now, and has never been, any life in the Hancock movement, or the Blair move ment, "?r the Dix movement, or any other Dem ocratic movement, except the Pendleton move ment. Except a few who are personally inter ested in Pendleton's defeat at New York, there is not a Western Democrat who is not in his favor. Something has been said recently about nominating Mr. Chase on such a platform as would secure the support of the Democratic party; but I believe that idea bos been aban doned from hick of support .Tom Mr. Cbase himself, who is not a Presidential candidate, though he would like very mncn to be President. There is not the least doubt that if the Democrats would give their support to Mr. Chase he would carry every Northern State, or very nearly every one. But the project is a visionary one, viewed in the light of party ties and party prejudices. Mr. Chase neither asks nor expects the Democratic party to support him, however gratified he might be to see them do so. Nor is it mnch of a secret in Washington that as between Grant and Wade and Pendleton, and whoever else may be nomi nated at New York, Mr. Chase's preferences will not be for the former. He would be much less human and more divine than men general ly are in this world if he were inclined to give His influence or his support to men who have done their best to slander and malign him in the exercise of his highest judicial functions, and to bring discredit on him as a man be cause he acted uprightly and conscientiously as a judge. So it need not astonish any one to find many of Mr. Chase's warmest personal friends actively and earnestly supporting the Democratic nominee next fall, and that nomi nee will be Mr. Pendleton, beyond all doubt. an objection to hancock. Talking, a day or two ago, with a prominent Democrat, he told me there was one objection to Hancock, which, though unreasonable, would have great weight among the people. "That," ea: d ne, "is his action in tho execution of Snrratt. Mrs. Snrratt was a Catholic, and her execution created a great deal of feeling in the Catholic Church. It is very true that Han cock only obeyed orders, bnt still, in obeying orders, he hung a woman who is now believed to have been innocent. Even Ben Butler says she was innocent, and called Bingham a mur derer, almost, for prosecuting her,. You can't go before the people and say that Hancock only obeyed orders. They'll tell yon that be ought to have resigned his commission before obeying any such an order; and a great many will refuse to vote for him because he didn't re sign rather than hang that woman." general sherman indignant?he will stump the country against an unjust convic tion of the president. It is well known that General Sherman is in dignant at the prospect of an unjust and par tisan conviction of the President. He says that, if Mr. Johnson is unjustly convicted, he (Sherman) will appeal to the people of the United States against the finding of tho Sen ate ; that he will himself, if necessary, be the standard bearer of the party opposed to such conviction, no matter who may be the stand ard bearer on the other side ; and that he will agree to stomp the country on the question ! This threat, delivered with the General's ac customed and well known vehemence of man ner, has greatly alarmed the Radicals, and. there was a good deal of fluttering in their camp last evening in consequence. was rr a ruse ? It is well understood here that Grant and his immediate, friends and clique are strongly in favor of the conviction or the President. Indeed, it is given out that, if the President is not convicted, General Grant wiU not be a Presidential candidate. It looks, then, as if the ?ivings out by Grant, and even bv the members of his family, that he is backing down as respects the "Presidential race, are a mere ruse, in order to insure the President's conviction. Greeley's statement made before the Connecticut election, that General Grant considered the conviction of the President a political necessity, was doubtless received from Grant's own lips. The Radicals consider that their triumph in the coming election is bound up in tho conviction of the President ; that, if conviction fail before the Senate, thev will fail before the people. Consequentlv the strength of the party pressure in favor of con viction may be j idg?d of from this tact. Another True Colored Man.?Henry Miller, very well known in thi? community tbo sex ton* of the Methodist Church on Tryon-street, and htfise servant of its pastor, Rev. Mr. Mey nardie, voluntarily, and of his own free will and accord, voted the Conservative ticket. Henry is a man of excellent character.--Char lotte, X. c, Times. More Glimpseg Behind the Scenes. further disclosures of the domestic econo mt of the white house under the lin coln regime?interesting reminiscences. For the amusement of our readers, we give some additional extracts from the book of "Mrs. Elizabeth Keckley," whilom coiored dressmaker to Mrs. President Lincoln : a wife's jealousy. In 1864 the reception again commenced at the White House. For the first two vears of Mr. Lincoln's administration, the President se lected a lady to join in the promenade with him, which left Mrs. Lincoln free to choose an escort from among the distinguished gentle men that always surrounded her on such occa sions. This custom at last was discontinued by Mrs. Lincoln. "'Lizabeth V?I was sewing in her room, and Ahe was seated in a comfortable armchair? '"Lizabeth, I have been thinking over s little matter. As you are well aware, the Presid3nt, at every reception, selects a lady to lead the promenade with him. Now, it occurs to me that this custom is an absurd one. On such occasions our guests recognize the position of the President as first of all; consequently be takes the lead in everything; well, now, if they recognize his position they should also recog nize mine. I am his wife and should lead with him. And yet he offers his arm to any other lady in the room, making her first with him and placing me second. The custom is an ab surd one, and I mean to abolish it. The dig nity that I owe to my position, as Mrs. Presi dent, demands that I should not hesitate any longer to act." Mrs. Lincoln kept her word. Ever after this she either led the promenade with the Presi dent or the President walked alone or with a gentlemen. The change was much remarked, but the reason why it was mode, I believe, was never generally known. intrigues of the "court." In 1864 much doubt existed in regard to the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, and the White House was besieged by all grades of politi cians. Mrs. Lincoln was often blamed for having a certain class of men around her. "I nave an object in view, 'Lizabeth," she said to me in reference to this matter. "In a political canvass it is policy to cultivate every element of strength. These men have influen?a, and we require influence to re-elect Mr. Lin coln. I will be clever to them till after the election, and then, if we remain ct the White House, I will drop every one of them and let them know very plainly that I only made tools of them. They are an unprincipled set, and I don t mind a little double dealing with them." "Does Mr. Lincoln know what your purpose is ?" I asked. "God ! no; he would never sanction such a proceeding, so I keep him in the dark, and will tell him of it when all is over. He is too honest to take the proper care of his own in terests, so I feel it to be my duty to electioneer for him." a domestic necessity confided to 'lizabeth. Mrs. Lincoln was extremely anxious that her husband should be re-elected President of the United States. In endeavoring to made a dis play becoming her exalte'" 'ion she had to incur many expenses -a*. Lincoln's salary was inanequate to meet them, and she was forced to run in debt, hoping that good for tune would favor her, and enable her to extri cate herself from an embarrassing situation. She bought the most expensive goods on cred it, and in the summer of 1864 enormcus unpaid bills stared her in the face. "What do you think about the election, 'Liz abeth?" she Bald to m9 one morning. ''I think that Mr. Lincoln will remain in the White House four years longer,'I repbed, looking up from my work. "What makes you think so ? Somehow I have learned to fear that he will be defeated." "Because he has been tried and has proved faithful to the best interests of the country. The people of the North recognize in him an honest man, and they are willing to confide in him, at least until the war has been brought to a close. The Southern people made his election a pretext for rebellion, and now to re place him by some one else, after years of san guinary war, would look too much like a sur render of the war. So Mr. Lincoln is certain to be re-elected. He represents a principle, and to maintain this principle the loyal people of the loy&l States will vote for him, even if ho had no merits to commend him." "Your view is a plausible one, 'Lizabeth, and your confidence gives me new hope. If he should be defeated, I do not know what would become of us all. To me, to bim, there is more at Btake in this election than he dreams of." "What can you mean, Mrs. Lincoln ? I do not comprehend." "Simply this : I have contracted large debts, of which he knows nothing, and which he will be unable to pay if he is defeated." "What are your debts, Mrs. Lincoln?" "They consist chiefly of store bills. I owe altogether about $27,000; the principal portion at 8tewart's, in New York. ?ou understand, lizabeth, that Mr. Lincoln has but little idea of the expense of a woman's wardrobe. He glances at my rich dresses, and is happy in the belief that the few hundred dollars that 1 obtain from him will supply all my wants. I must dress in costly materials. The people scrutinize every article that I wear with critic al curiosity. The very fact of having grown up in the West subjects me to more searching observation. To keep up appearances I must have money?more than Mr. Lincoln can spare for me. He is too honest to make a penny outside of hi8 sal vy ; consequently I bad, and still have, no alternative but to run in debt." "And Mr. Lincoln does not even suspect bow much you owe ?" "God, no !"?this was a favorite expression of here?"and I would not have him suspect. If he knew that bis wife was involved to the extent that she is, the knowledge would drive him mad. He is so sincere and straightfor ward himself that he is shocked by the dupli city of others. He does not know a thing about any debts, and I value his happiness, not to speak of my own, too much to allow him to know anything. This is what troubles me so much. If he is re-elected I can keep bim in ignorance of my affairs; but if he is defeated, then the bills will be Bent in and he will know all;" and something like a hysterical sob es caped her. Mrs. Lincoln sometimes feared that the pol iticians would get hold of the particulars of her debts and use them in the Prseidential cam paign against her husband, and when this thought occurred to her she was almost crazy with anxiety and fear. When in one of these excited moods, ehe would fiercely exclaim : "The Republican politicians must pay my debts. Hundreds of them are gettiDg im mensely rich off the patronage of my husband, and it is but fair that they should help me out of my embarrassment. 1 will make a demand of them, and when I tell them the facts they cannot refuse to advance whatever money I re quire." "well xou brush mx bristles down?" In packing, Mrs. Lincoln gave away every thing intimately connected with the President, as she said that ehe could not bear to be re minded of the past. The articles were given to those who were regarded as the warmest of Mr. Lincoln's admirers. All of the presents passed through my hinds. The dress Mrs. Lincoln wore on the night of the assassination was given to Mrs. Slade. the wife of an old and faithful messenger. The cloak, stained with the President's blood, was given to me, as also was the bonnet worn on the same memorable night. Afterwards I received the comb and br J6h that Mr. Lincoln used during his resi dence at the White House. With the same comb and brush I had often combed bis bead. When almost ready to go down to a reception, he wonld turn to me wi h a quizzical look, "Well, Madam Elizabeth, will you brush my bristles do.vn to-night?" 'lizabeth quotes mrs. toodles. There was much surprise when Mrs. Lincoln left the White House what her fifty or six:y boxes, not to count her score of trunks, coul-j contain. Had the government not been so liberal m furnishing the boxes it is possible that there would have been less demand lor so much transportation. The boxes were loosely packed, and mauy of them wifh articles not worth carrying away. 3lrs. Lincoln bad a pas-jion for " boarding old tilings, believing, with Toodles, that they were "handy to have about the house." The bonnets that she brought with her from Springfield, in addition to every one purchaaed during her residence in Washington, were packed in the boxen and transported to Chi cago. She remarked that she might find use tor the material some day, and it was prude:;; to look to thi future, i am sorry to say tba: Mrs. Lincoln's, foresight in regard to the fu tore was only confined to cast-off clothing, as she owed atthe time of the President's death different store bills amounting to $70,000. Mr. Lincoln knew nothing of these bills, and the only happy feature of bis assassination was that he died in ignorance of them. Had he known to what extent his wife was involved the fact would have embittered the only ploas ant moments of his life. I disclose this secret in regard to Mrs. Lincoln's debts, in order to explain whv she should subsequently have labored under pecuniary embarrassment. Bishop Beckwith.?The people of the Dio cese of Georgia are not backward in extending hospitality and a generous welcome to Bishop Beckwith, whose pleasing manners have so quickly endeared him to his people. A fine residence and an addition of two thousand dollars to his regular salary has been tendered him by the Episcopalians of Savannah, on con dition of his making their city his home. At Atlanta it is proposed to purchase the "Lyon House," a magnificent dwelling, to be pre sented to the bishop, on the same condition as above. In Augusta two beautiful suburban residences have been tendered the bishop to select from, provided he will make his home there, and at Athens the "Chase Residence" has been bargained for, with the same view.

At tbe last regular communication of Friendship Lodge. No. 9, the Worshipful Master having an nounced the death of Brother SAMUEL VALEN TINE, the following preamble and resolutions were offered by Brother Asmra D. Coaxx, Senior War den, and being seconded, were unanimously adopted: Death has taken from us one whoso life has been spent in doing good ; a hand is cold which has fer years been active in dispensing charity; a heart is stilled which never throbbed but with lore and sym pathy for his kind. Our late Brother, Past Master and Secretary, SAMUEL VALENTINE, has been gathered to his Fathers; his place In the world and in this Lodge is felt to be vacant. As in the world he served his fellow-man with alacrity and zeal, so in this Lodge, whether as Master or member, his soul was in his work, and he labored as an honest, zealous workman in the cause of Masonry. He loved Masonry because the universality of the charity it teaches and dispenses so well accorded with bis own philanthropy. It was this love which induced him in his old age, but a few months ago, to become our Secretary. He desired no higher office. Such be had filled. Bis ambition was to do good, and to be useful. A perfect Mason, he carried out the tenet* of the Order. Believing firmly in the resurrection of the dead and final responsibility of man to God, he prepared himself in this life, by the constant practice ot charity, for admission to that Lodge eternal not built by bumaii hand, over which the Great Architect presides. He is dead, leaving behind a .memory of kiiid acts and virtuous deeds, transmitting as a legacy te Iii? family the thousand blessings of the poor whose sufferings be alleviated, and of the needy whote wants he supplied. As an expression of our grateful recognition of his valuable and manifold services, be it Resolved, That in the death of our late brother. SaJfUXX Valentine, th. State has lost a worthy citi zen; society one of its most useful members; the poor one of their warmest triends, and this Lodge a bright and perfect Mason. Resolved, That a page In the minute book of the Lodge be suitably inscribed to his memory. Resolved, That the desk of the Secretary be cloth ed in mourning, at all our regular meetings, until our next anniversary. Resolved, That the Brethren of this Lodge tender to the bereaved widow and fatrily their heartfelt sympathy; that a copy of the Preamble and Resolu tions be sent to them under the seal of this Lodge, and be published iu the daily papers of this city.

Some malcontents must have originated this and other like statements who desire to build up a repu tation, or to repair one that has not been enviable, and are indifferent as to the means they employ. ] have sought no one, nor have I promised any one anything in connection with this or any other office To have done so would have been an exhibition o weakness?an arrogant assumption which could onl] be equalled by the idle boasts ot those who wish t< "prescribe" for ills of the bodypolitic, withoutknow ing anything of the character of the "disease," o: the remedial agents to "administer." A word of advice to my Republican friends, espe daily those who have so much at stake in the pend ing elections: Elevate no man to official position State or municipal, who has not given evidence thai he will mete out even-handed justice to all classes who will not forget that there aro more than on< class of poor deserving men in the community wh< ought to and mue: share in the public employments prefer those who are "true and tried;" unite as on man on one candidate; mike experiments when yoi can better afford it ; .vju, above all, pursue such course as is best calculated to elect those of you choice.

J9S- CIRCULAR,?TCI THE LADLES OF THE VARIOUS CHUBCHES TN THE CITY OF CHARLESTON.?We, the Officers and Members ol the Young Men's Christian Association of Charles ton, would take this mefhed of respectfully appeal ing to yon for assistance. Te propose holding A FLORAL FESTIVAL OR FAIR, during the latter part of tie coming month of May, hoping we may thereby rethze a sufficient amount to enable us to continue during the present year the various religious and chiritable works which we have commenced, and thuu far carried on with great success, but which we must necessarily but reluc tantly abandon, unless w ; derive aid from some source. The plan ot a Festival or Fair, during the season of flowers, has eugrcsted itself to our minds, and we feel assured that it. only requires your assis tance to make it a complete success. We propose that the ladi>s of each church prepare one table or booth, supplying the same with such ar ticles lor sale as their own good judgment may sug gest, believing that a generous emulation thus en gendered, as to which shah best succeed, will, when all are combined in one collection, present a most elegant and complete display; and, furthermore, that each table remain under ti.o control of the ladies who prepared It, in order that at the close of the Fair it may be Been which has succeeded best in the enter prise, and thereby contributed the largest amount towards the cause in whtc a we are all so interested. We, therefore, respect filly call upon the ladies composing the various congregations of all evangeli cal denominations in thi i city, to combine among themselves, and commence at once the preparation of such ai tides as their own fancy and Judgment may dictate. Let all assist, the humblest as well as the wealthiest, and with united energies carry out this work. The members of the A ?Delation will, one and oil, cheerfully perform all a ad every labor that may be required of them, and wi.l hold themselves always In readiness to obey every r ;qaes . Those ladies who are willing to assist ns are re quested to meet every Friday AJternom at Five o'clock, in the rooms oi tbc Association (in King street over Messrs. Fog j?tie & StillmaN'S Store), to confer with each othei and the officers of the As sociation, and perfect su.:h arrangements as may be come necessary in can ylng out the plan suggested to a successful termination. By order of the Assc elation. j. e. FOGARTIE, April 21 Secretary Y. M. c. A.

AS-LET NOT PREJUDICE USURP YOUR reason.?It is a iact that, in tbe minds of many persons, a prejudice e asts against what are called patent medicines; but why should this prevent you resorting to an article that has such an array of test to support it as HO:TETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS ? Physicians prescribe it; why should you discard it ? Judges, usually considered men of ta lent, have used and du use it in their families; why should you reject it ? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason to the everlasting injury of year health. If you are sick, and require medicine, try these Bit ters. When the bodily et.irgies are worn out by anx iety and need a stimulant, this is the best that can betaken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from fevering the blood; and hence it does not produce a mere tem porary excitement, to be followed by injurious reac tion, but lommunicatss 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 oi it taken towards bedtime will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors, hysterics, faintingfits, general restlessness end the causeless fears and dis tressing fancies to wbich ladies are especially sub ject, under certain morbid conditions of mind and bidy peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will be found the most agreeable und certain of all counter-irri tants. The constitutional ly nervous may readily keep their infirmity in constant check by the daily use of this healthful vegetable tonic; end those who have shattered their ner,-es," as the phrase is, either by imprudent indulgence or undue physical or Intel, lectual labor, will fxd in this vitalizing elixir a prompt restorative.
