ATIBAD, AS USUAL!-The bulletins of THE DAILY NZWH, giving tho special dispatches of OUT wide-awake Washington correspondent, contained the first announcement; given to our community, on Saturday, of the President's acquittal on tbe eleventh article. A. venerable city cotemporary (pre-ocoupied, probably, with its musings over things in Charleston as they were an hundred years ago, ) at first posted a statement that the President bad been found guilty, anrl ft was some time before this was torn down and the correct result substituted. The intense anxiety to leam the particulars of the vote induced us yes? terday morning to issue our full special dispatches in an extra, several thousand copies of which went off like hot cakes, spreading the nows throughout the city and along the railway routes. THE GOVEBNOB ELECT.-A coi respondent writing to the Kew York Tribun* to correct some errors of statement in regard to the career of Gene? ral R. E. Scott, takes occasion to say: "For two years past he has been Commissioner of the Freed? men's Bureau for South Carolina. During this time he has been known by the people of that State for his fairness and honesty, his plain gentlemanly man' nen, and his repugnance to red tape. ' Indeed, I am quite sure that no loyal man could have been exalted to the high position which General Scott has achieved in South Carolina who would be more popular and respected by all parties of the Palmetto State than himself."

Bobert Thurston, tried, at Greenville last Sep? tember. The charge of Jndge Bryan to tho jury lu the case of Colonel Huger w? regard as one of great ability, and evincing an enlightened Judicial compre? hension of the difficulties of the case. The Judge oharged the jury that if Colonel Huger surrendered. the property In his charge to the Coif aderate an ! thorittes when, bia power to hold it was unavailing. I the State being in possession at the timoor an au? thority which he could not resist any more than' he could the rising and setting of the sun, then he and bia aunties are not liable. The opinion of Jndge Bryan ls a long ona, and covers the whole ground, and is such as is worthy of any independent, impar? tial sad upright judge-a Slr Matthew Hale, and not a Jeffrey?."

Bzvy DB. P ALBEE'S DISC oras ES.- The Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer of Now Orleans, preached yester? day morning at the Central Presbyterian Church, to a crowded congregation. Dr. Palmer's reputation as a pulpit orator is such, that both^he body of the church and the galleries were soon filled, and though chairs and benches were placed in the aisles, num? bera were compelled to stand. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dre. Dana and Palmer and Rev. Edward Palmer, father J of the latter. Dr. Palmer chose for his text a portion of the twen? ty-fourth verse, seventeenth chapter of John, and de? livered an eloquent discourse an hour and a half in length, which wu listened to with marked attention throughout. Io the evening, the same divine pre ace ed in the Glebe-street Presbyterian Church, which was crowd? ed to suffocation. Our. reporter found lt impossible to effect an entrance even for the purpose of obtain? ing Dr. Palmer's text DEPASTURE' OP Eau G RANTS FOB LIB EUI A. The Colonization Society's ship Golconda sailed from Savannah on Thursday afternoon, with four hundred and fifty-one emigrants for Liberia. Of these, twelve were from Savannah, five from Augusta, twenty-five from Sparts, thirty-seven from Marion, Twiggs coun? ty, and two hundred and four from Columbus, Geor? gia; twelve from Mobile, and thirty-nine from Eufeu la, Alabama; forty-two from Columbus, Mississippi; sixty-five from Ridge ville. South Oaroll na; and nine from Nashville, Tennessee. They.have chosen as their places of settlement In the African Republic Monrovia, sixty-eight; Cape Palmas, ninety; and Basse, two hundred end ninety-two. Most of the men are farmers and mechanics, and are wen supplied with agricultural implements and tools. Turning lathes and the requisite machinery for grist and saw mills, for which ample water power abounds in Libe? ria, were taken by some of the well-to-do of them. Sewing machines were not forgotten by the women. Free transportation in the ship was given them by the Society, such articles tending to promote the suc? cess of the emigrants and the republic to which they jo. A fair proportion of the company can read, and some can read and write. There are five licensed ministers of the Baptist and Methodist denomina? tions. . 4 THE CATHOLIC CHASITY FATS-THE LAST PHIZES DRAWN.-On Friday night the Catholic Fair closed its doors to the generous patrons wbo had been Its nightly visitors.

THE EELIOIOUS CONDITION OF THE FBEEDMEN IN SOOTH CABOLTHA.-The following extract from the report of the Committee cn the state of the Episco? pal Church ia the Dioceee of South Carolina, will be found interesting, as it contains a sad account of the morai and religious condition of the colored people in this State: The condition of the colored people ia many sec BOas w tn? diocese, physical, mental and moral, ls wretched, and every day becoming worse. Obiism, Fefrchism 0f tbe lowest type, belief in raise proph eta, priests, conjurors, sorcerers, ano" other fon African superstition are in some sections hist r in?, and extending their baleful swsv to the ru the body and soul of their deluded victims. Ii parish fourteen chapels built for their use. ii other seven, in another four, and in several ta threo are all deserted; one or two only are occu occasionally by preachers of their own class, worship thus conducted is compared to that oft lng dervishes, making night hideous. At other t it consists of dancing and other mere animal i cises and escltemont Except in a few sect! where some of the missionaries of the Korti Methodist Church were laboring, the colored pe received their religious instruction from ministe their own class and color, many of whom wen tremely ignorant and vicious. Every influence could be exerted was brought to bear upon the fi men to induce them to sever th-ir cnoection their former churches, nd the number of t buildings in the different perishes that were nov cant proved how successinl these agents had h It was not known by what religious authority colored ministers were licensed to preach, oz whom they were supported, t ut it was evident the freedmen were fast relapsing into a state of J can barbarism. The committee recommended employment of missionaries, and an appUcatlc the Northern Episcopalians for aid. ISOLEITE, THE FEMALE SET.-A STOBT. CHABLSSTOK AND THE WAS-Bl J. WlTHEBSS EBVTN-The issue of June 4th of that standard C Una paper, the Yorkville Enquirer, will contain first chapters of a thrilling nouvellette under above title, written expressly for its columns, by of the most popular authors in the State. One of the most painful circumstances connel with the heroic defence of Charleston, during three years of Biege, ls to be found in the fact, I during all this time, there were persons in tbe c ' in high life," who were engaged as spies in senti information to the besiegers. Drawings of the fe fications weie furnished, weak pointa noted, and movements of troops Indicated as s ooh ss begun, tbe fleet notified of the time of arrival and depart of blockade-running vessels. So cautiously did tr. emissaries of the enemy conduct their work, that a long time the skill of the most eminent detect! was baffled In their endeavors to break np the ai corresponder ce. These spies were the source of treme annoyance to the commanders in Chariest and the information they were enabled to tait often thwarted their best matured designs upon enemy. As a proof of the completeness of this c spiner, it may be remarked that the daily papers the city were frequently road on board the block fleet the same day of their publication. The author of "Isolette, or the Female Spy," 1 taken the principal character and incidents in t affair, and under assumed names has presented th In the form of a thrilling and well written roman historic and imaginative. The circumstances ot story are detailed as beginning on James Island, t in connection with some of the South Carolina re menta stationed there. After many thrilling ventures, in which the "female spy" figures lar ly, tbe heroes of the plot follow their regiment Virginia, before the walls of Petersburg. The s render of General Lee's armv, in 1865, finds th. again among the 8 an tee hi. la, where the narr?t closes. ' Persons who wish to secure this interesting BU complete, should send In their subscriptions alon as only a limited number of copies of the paper v be printed to supply future orders. To ac conan date persons who desire the Enquirer on account the story, the loliowing are the terms in advant One copy, tare? months. SI; ten copies, thi months, sr 50; one copy, one year, S3 50. Adeln L. M. Grist, Yorkville, SC. TEE PBOTESrAKT EPISCOPAL COHTENTlirT. FOUBTB DAT-SATDBXUT, MAX 16.-The Convent; was opened with prayer by Bev. P. Dawes Hay, ail which it was called to order by the Bishop, and t usual business preliminaries transacted. The debi on the proposed alteration in the constitution, pi vldlng that all lay delegates to the Convention sh be communicants, was resumed, and a long disci sion arose, in which a number of the clergy and 1 delegates present participated. The Ber. C. P. Gad den, in reply to the remarks made yesterday by ll Lord, m relation to the action of the General Co vention on the same subject, said that although tl General Convention had direct control of the subj ec of doctrine, discipline, ftc, yet the Diocesan Conve rions bad a nt ndlrect control over the same mattera the consent of such conventions being necessary : the adoption of any change in either. In fact it wi be recollected that the Diocesan Convention of Sont Carolina had some years ago prevented the proposE change in the prayer-book, which, though at th tune adopted by a majority of the General Convei rion, ls now generally acknowledged to have been a unwise proposition. The protest against the chant originated in St Philip's Church, when Bishop Gad den was pastor, was confirmed by ihe uctlon of tl South Carolins Diocesan convention, and ga thorin strength as it spread to the other dioceses, finally di fasted the measure. The amendment was oppose by Ber. B. B. Sams, because it would depr.ve th weaker parishe% of representation, and be stated, s an example, that his parish had no male commua cants. Mr. John Hanckel said that it had been aclnon ledged by the speakers on the opposite side thal thi Diocesan Convention as now organized had don great good In times past, and he did not know of an; harm that had been done In the convention by th non-communicants. A change of the kind propose bad been found unnecessary In the past atd no res son existed to make lt necessary how. Mr. Ed. McCrady, Sr., said that objections luv been made against the proposed amendment beean* lt established a lest oath as a qualification of mern bership of the convention. The fact was that ni legislative body ever existed the members of whid were not required to qualify In some way, except in deed conventions which were above law, and whosi province it was to frame organic laws, and were lef untravelled by oaths in order that they might no be bound by any law. The constitution which thu convention was bound to support was of divini origin, and so was the test which was established bj the Scriptures and not by man. 1 he mission of thc church was to fight against the world and not tc form alliances with it It waa the duty of Christians to draw wide and deep the Une of demarkatlon be? tween the church and the world. There was no time more suitable tor abandoning dependence upon the world and looking to God for support than the season of affliction. The afflicted heart naturally peeks con? solation and support from the Supreme. Being. Kow ls the time for the church to leave the world, and with God's help sustain Itself against the world.. Mr. William Whaley opposed the amendment, as an Innovation both impolitic and improper. The Bev. W. P. DuBose said it had been stated that the non-communicant delegates had done no harm in the convention. This might be truc, be? cause they wero too weak in numbers for that pur? pose; but these non-communicant members did barm at homo, .md in some instances they hod brought great ocandal upon the church. The lay delegates chosen were frequently not only not dis? tinguished for piety, but were ungodly. It was in the small parishes where it was contended the pre? sent system should be continued that most barm was done. He mentioned an instance of a wicked man being sent as a delegate, who afterwards scoffed at the proceedings. As to thu argument that sending men to the convention encouraged a growth in grace, he was satisfied of the contrary, as most of them ?jot tired the first dsy on account of the tedious pro? cess of organization, and left the convention dis? gusted. Mi? J. J. Pringle Smith spoke at some length in apposition to the amendment. The Rev. Paul Trapier,D.D., replied to there marks of Dr. Lord on the pre nous day, and explain? ed his vote given in the cien eral Convention on a similar question to that now under discussion. He said that he did not then wish to go ahead ol bis dio :ese, but uow that the church at large had assumed this advanced position, he was in favor of this diocese taking the same stand. Ho thought the amendment necessary to the spiritual welfare of the church. When he assumed Qharge of St. Michael's Church, in 1340, there were two hundred and seventeen female, md but twenty-six male, communicants. This dis? parity was due mainly to thc fact that men were not sufficiently aroused to the Importance of communion. Men with no pretensions to piety had addressed tho invention wiUveelf-aatiBfied countenances, as if they felt that a lasting benefit was conferred on thc chuica by their presence, and he must confess that thoy seemed to be sustained in that opinion by the rest of the convention. It would be much better to peifect me change now than hereafter. A lay delegate then said that his parish had elect* ed four delegates, three christians and one heathen ; that the heathen had been present and attending to his duties to the best of his ability during the ses? sion, while not one of the christians had appeared. Kev. A. T. Porter asked the Bev. C. P. Gadsden Tor an explanation of his assertion that ouly resident members of a parish could be delegates. He said that two parishes had representations who were not resident* Mr. Gadsden replied that the canons of the church recognize two kinds of residence, local and canoni? cal. Canonical residence meant the parish with which a church member kept up his religious con? nection, and thc term "resident" was used in this sense. A lay delegate mentioned au instance in which the vote of a pious delegate ia an Important election was cancelled bj that of o drunVen delegate, who attend? ed onlr long enough to effect his object. Af?or borne farther discussion the vote was then taken, and resulted as follows: Clergy, ayes 21, noes 6; laity, ayes 12, noes 9. The laity not giving a two thirds vote, the amendment was lost. The report of the Committee on the State of the I Church wss then read by Bev. J. S. HanckeL of which the following ls a brief synopsis. The churches now on the roll of thc convention, without any eccle siasUcal organization, are St. Helena, St Helena Parish; Grace Church, Sullivan's Island; St. Peter's, Charleston; St Peter's, St. Peter's Ptulsh; Ascen? sion Church, Oillisoaville; St James', Uocse Creek; St. Paul's, Stono; Christ Church, Charleston; Will town, Barnwell; Ascension, Combahee; Prince Wil? liams, Prince William's Parish; Church of the Het Biab, North Santee; John's and James Island Churches. The committee recommended that the names of theso parishes bu not called hereafter until they are in active organisation, and that they be not assessed until such time. The committee reported that the fund of the Advancement Society was re? duced from $89,000 to $33,000, and its income from $7000 to $2000. The Bishop's fund had been re? duced from $70,000 to $60,000, and its income from ?4000*0 $1500. The fund of the Theological Semi? nary has been entirely lost. In six parishes the in I vestments have decreased in value fifty to seventy five per cent, and in others heard frc m the loss has ^been total The salaries of some of the ministers are only $50 a year, and nearly all are less than $1000 ; two get $1100, and three $2500. For the three years before the war, the average amount contributed by the diocese was $55,000, and for last year but $3500. In 1860, the whole number of colored communicants was 2960-this year lt ls only 29L The report also contained an elaborate review ot the religious condi? tion of the colored people In the State, which is given in another column. The committee complimented the Revs. P. F. Ste? vens and Boberts Johnson for their success ?s mis? sionaries among the colored people. The report closed with resolutions recommending the appoint? ment of eight missionaries, and an application to the church at the North for aid. The,'report was adopted. The discussion of the amendment in relation to the canon on the trial of ministers was resumed, and on motion of B. J. Shaw, Esq., cf Union, it was post? poned to the next convention. The report of the trustees of the Theological Semi? nary was taken up, and, on motion of Bev. Paul I rapier, D. D., it was resolved that the trustees be directed to ta>e steps to suspend the exercises of the seminary at the conclusion of the present session ; that the buildings be placed in charge of the trustees; to be dealt with as they sec flt, and thai the unpaid salaries of the professors be considered s debt of | honor, and have a paramount chum on any funds st their disposal not otherwise specially appropriated, After the discussion of measures of finance and other matters, the Convention adjourned sine die. The next Convention will meet at St Philip's Church in this dry, on the second Wednesday in May, 1869,1 _ ' NOTICES IN BANKRUPTCY.-Meetings of the creditors of the undermentioned bankrupts, to prove debts snd choose assignees, will bo held at the office of the Registrar, Hom B.
