The Washington correspondent of the Balti nare Gazette"?writes on Tuesday evening last : "Last though not least." This has been tbe ast day of impeachment, though by no means he least interesting. In many respects it has exceeded in profound interest -any which have ^receded. The impression had become gene ai th *t no vote would , be taken, and /hence here was nothings like the rush upon the Capi ol which has heretofore characterized the im? peachment proceedings. Nevertheless, the m?nense galleries were packed with a bril iatt assemblage, while the diplomatic section jontoined the representatives of twenty-eight loreign countries, all manifesting the most in? cense int erest in the proceedings of the Sen at e, is each held in his hand a list of the senator s atines. ' The arrangements for preserving per? fect order were complete, as shown by the files nf policemen which .decorated the aisles and ?orridors. The floor of the chamber appeared almost peach ment Benair being seen. Conservatives, and there were its; bar jrhfifwere the thixty iLVr tc?? mystery to the gal leries, btfg^&mka^ .that a caucua was being held in President- Wade's room to determine whether'ti?E^^lW 'O^od?Siotproceed with o'clock Senator Edmunde como ia and au? no unced,.confidently "to a few fri en da around him thAfcthe^votjngw?nldb^ such bemgthedetermiiiAfa'onofthe cauoTis. A few mome?te later the other senators entered the chamber with an air of indifference, and were soon engaged in conversation, groups being formed, during which the action of the caucus was discus-ed, and speculations freely offered as to the pxopable effect ot the contempla? ted postponement on party interests. At this time no senator doubted for a mo? ment that the vote would be postponed-the managers had requested it, and the caucus bad voted to giant ir-yet the vote was taken and the President acquitted. How was it done? The details will furnish an interesting page for the future historian. Soon alter the court hod organized for business and all tbe dramatis persona were in position, Senator Edmunds rose slowly from his seat, and drawing from his pocket, offered a resolution rescinding ali previous rules on the subject of voting. The Chief Justice thought the resolution was not ia ojder, the Radical majority of the court thoflbt otherwise, and the rules were rescind? ed. V?ert came a resolution postponing the rote on impeachment until the 23d of June. The Chief Justice considered this out of order, but was again overruled by the caucussing senatoxs. On each of these propositions Senator Boss, of Kansas, voted with the impeachers, and a decided sensation among them was perceptible. Radical senators were bobbing their heads at each other, and a. great effort made to communicate and confer one with another. Ross had defeat? ed them on the eleventh article, and vituperative abuse had oeen heaoed up? on bin. Was it possible he had repented at the eleventh hour, if not on the eleventh arti? cle? ConlUing offered a Bubstitute for the mo? tion to adjourn, which provided that the Senate, Bitting as a Court of Impeachment, ehould pro? ceed at once to vote an the remaining articles of impeachment. This was supposed b> many to be a motion offered in good faith by tl: 3 senator from New York, ofid when it was re? jected by an overwhelming vote, many of the spectators, left the galleries, supposinc; the da\'B peformances at an end. The newspaper men, in their anxiety to outstrip all competi? tion, flashed the news over the wires "im? peachment, postponed until the 23d of June.'' No one doubted the fact except the parties engaged iu the desperate garoo. Oonkling's purpose proved to be to draw out an expres? sion from Ross, who, understanding tie game, ia turn set a trap for the impoichers. Ross voted squarely against Conkling's substitHe; another bnzz was heard on the Radical mde of the chamber. Sumner loft his seat and hurriedly passed to the seats of sena? tors Edmunds, Williams and others, holding brief conferences with each; Other senators leaned towards each other and passed hurried words. Spectators continued leaving, and the telegraph had already spread the news lu every direction that the Renate had voted to post? pone, which was virtually the case when thc vote was taken refusing to proceed. But now au undercurrent was seen and felt, though its exact character was still unknown. Soino new development waa about being made. The coun? tenances of tbe impeachers, Beemed to.bright en up, and some unexpected turn in events was evidently anticipated. Ross had been drawn out, be was upon the record with tho impeachers on overy preliminary question, he too 6cemcd- to be acting in the best faith pi este, "We wont postpone" said tho impeach ere, " but while Roes is voting right we will give him a chance on the second article." They voted down their own caucus resolution to postpone until the 23d of June, and mov? ed to go into a vote on the second ar ticlo ot impeachment. The impeachers were now all smiles. They had by adroitness ascertained exactly how Ross would vote, as they supposed, and now they would convict johnson certain. They little suspected that there were two parties to their game, and quite as little suspected the modest, unsophisticated senator from Kansas of intending to entrap thirtv-five impeachers at a single haul. The roll" was called amid breathless silence, and the interest heighten? ed as the votes of the doubtful senators were reached-culminated when the name of Sen? ator Roes was called. Now came the tug of war. The impeachers had hazarded every? thing upon this vote-could it be possible that tiirty-five politicians had been over-reached by one man ? It was true ! Ross had set his trap and caught the whole porty, and when he answered in a clear, ringing voice, "not guilty," there were countenances on the Radi? cal aide of the chamber which would have fur? nished subjects worthy of Hogarth. Impeach? ment had been long dead, and now it was bu? ried. Bingham and Boutwell hurried from the chamber. Butler retained his seat until the third article was voled down and the others abandoned. On the opposite side of the cham? ber sat Evarts, Stanbery and Nelson, of the President's counsel, apparently unmoved by the great events transpiring around them. THE ARKANSAS BILL. The following is the amendment offered on Monday by Mr. Drake to the Arkansas bill: Strikes out all atter the enacting clause, and prescribes as a fundamental condition of ad? mission of that State to representation in Con reSS *he passage by its Legislature of an act eclaring that tu? constitution adopted in con? vention February ll. 1868, and subsequently ratified, ehall never be so changed as to de? prive any one of the right to vote at all its elections who by its terms is cow, or "may be? come, entitled to vote, except as punishment for crimes which are now felonies at common law, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted under laws equally applicable to all inhabitants of said State; also dedaring that the third section, first article, in the words fol? lowing to wit: "The equality of all persons be? fore the lawis recognized, and shall remain in-, violate; nor shall any citizen ever be deprived of any right, privilege, or immunity, nor ex? empted from any burden or duty on account of race, color, or previous condition"-shall never be repealed or changed. The act must also declaro that anv violation by said State of. these conditions shall authorize its exclusion from representation in Congress so long as such violation continues; and that all laws en? acted in contravention thereof shall be wholly inoperative. ... . , Upon the passage of such an act by the Legis? lature of Arkansas, and receipt by Congress of authenticated copies of it, a concurrent vote declaring that tue provisions of this bill have been complied with shall entitle the State tore presentation in Congress. O0NEI8CATED P20FE2T7. The Piesident transmitted to the Senate on Thursday, in conformity with a resolution passed December 17, 1867, a "statament or all moneys received into, the^ treasury on account of property seized, condemned and confiscated under the act of July 17,1862, for the suppres? sion of the rebellion, including the title or each case, the name of the original owner, of the purchaser under decree of sale, and of the mar? shal, derk, or other person by whom respec-. lively the proceeds of the sale in each case may have been paid into the treasury, and the amount of money actually paid, in each and every case info the treasury of the United States," so far as shown by the records of the Solicitors office. Total amount paid into the United States tfea6Uiv, $129.680 67; amount paid to the Assistant United States Ireasurer, subject to the order of court, for property seized and confiscated in the District of Colum? bia, $83,265 48. The Opposition from the Quurttr Ex? pected. [from the Columbia Fhcenix] The Mercury has at last taken the position that may have been anticipated-opposition to the conservative plan of action inaugurated in the Democratic Convection of Apnllsst. In its extreme views and.mistaken statesmanship, the Mercury has long eince ceased to represent tbe State, or rather, any considerable portion of it. The thing may as well be understood at once. The people, hitherto unmixed with the politics of the State, have resolved to manage for themselves, and the Phoenix, in its utter? ance, feels that it but speaks the sentiments of the Conservative masues, still devoted to the rights and honor of tho State, but chastened by war and disposed to deal practically with the facta that are accomplished and'the ele? menta that surround them. The Mercury is doubtless true to its own con? viction^ and we impugn not the disinterested? ness of its motives; bat, as we conoeive it, thal journal ia fatally wrong in principle, and f itally wrong in policy. It professes to demand a white man's government,, and yet its inaction and its policy lead inevitably to a black man's government. It professes to demand this and that, but. suggests trothing practicable. To complain-to criticise, to find fault-this seems its political mission. lt raised, the other day, a question of "sense and decency" with the State Central Executive Committee. We may be allowed to suggest, that the Mercury does not, at least, die "de? cently."' When Casar fell at the base of Pom? pey's statue, he covered his face with his man? tle, and died "decently." We commend the example to the Mercury. THE GREAT GEEMAS SCH?TZENFEST IN NEW TOBE.-The committee ol arrangements for the German Sch?tzenfest in New York have agreed upon the programme for a grand pageant su? perior to anything ever seen in that city. It will be composed of seven divisions, and several companies of militia and volunteer miliary organizations have signified their in? tention of participating. Among them are the 5th, 6th, 11th and 96th Regiments of the Na? tional Guard. The first division will be mili? tary in its character. The second division will represent the gradual development, invention and improvement in the matter of shooting weapons, arranged according to their chro? nological order, and introducing in its proper place the invention of gunpowder.

The marshal of the division and his aids in the costume of the Landsknechte of the time of George Von Frondsberg. A platoon of B?X personating Teuton warriors habited in bear? skin. Six Indians. William Tell and Bon, the latter bearing an apple pierced with an arrow. Six crossbowmen in the costume of the eleventh century. Berthold Schwartz, the inventor of gunpowder, accompanied by two pages, each carrying a bow and arrow bearing bis name.

The fourth, fiftn and sixth divisions will be composed ot' glee and6chutzen club3, &c. The seventh will bo almost exclusively militan'. The festi? val will commence on June 27, and conclude July 6, and Jones' Wood is the scence of the display.-New York Com.

THE NEGRO. HI8 CHARACTER AXD CAPABILITIES-OPTNJONS AK ENGLISH TBAVELLEB IS AFBICA. From a volume recently published by 8a uel Whiie Baker, entitled, "Great Basin the Nile, and Exploration of the Nile Soi ces," we make the following extract. Mr. I ker is an Englishman., and having enjoyed su abundant opportunity during bis travels Africa of forming an opinion, his impartial < t?mate deserves to be weighed : I he black man Is a curious anomaly, t good and bad points of human nature buretii forth without any arrangement, like the flo ere and thoma of bis own wilderness. A ere ture of impulse, seldom actuated by reflectio the black man astounds by his complete o tusenese, and as suddenly confounds you I au unexpected exhibition of sympathy. Fro along experience with African savages, I th ii it is aa absurd to condemn the negro ?ri tolo, it is preposterous to compare his intellectu capacity with that of the white man. It is u fortunately the fashion for one parry to upbo the negro as a supeiior being,' while the otb denies him the common powers of reason, f great a difference of opinion has lever exist* upon the intrinsic value of (he negro, that tl very perplexity of the question is a proof th he is altogether a distinct variety. So long i it is generally considered that the negro ar the white man ore to be governed by the eau laws and guided by the same management, i long will the former remain a thorn in the sic of every community to which he may unhaj pily belong. When the horse and the ass shs be found to match in double harness, the wbii man and the African black will pul? iogethi under the same regime. It is the granel erre ol equalizing that which is unequal, that he lowered the neji-o character, and -made th tikCik man a reproach. In the great system of creation that divide races and subdivided them according to niyi tenons laws, apportioning special qualities i each, the varieties of the human race exbib; certain characters and qualifications whic adapt them for specific localities. The naturi character of those races will net siter with change of locality, but the instincts of eac race will be developed in ajay country wher they may be located. Thus tue English are a English 'in Australia, India and America as the are in England, and in every locality they ea hibit the industry and energy of their nativ land ; even so the African will remain negro i all his native instincts, although transplante to other soils ; and those natural instincts be? ing a love of idleness and savaged?m, he wi assuredly relapse into an idle and savage state unless specially governed and forced to indus try. ' The history of the negio baa proved the coi reci?ese of this theory. In no instance ha he evinced other than a retrogression, whei once freed from restraint. Like a horse with out harness, he runs wild; but ifrhe be har neBsed, no animal is more useful. TJnfortu nately, this is contrary to public opinion u England, where the cox popu'i assumes th< light of dictation upon matters and mei in which it has had no experience.' The Eng lish insist upon their own weights and moa sores as the scales for human excellence: anc it has been decreed by the multitude, inexpe rienced in the negro personally, fbathehai been a badly treated brother; that he is i worthy member-of the human family,.placet in aa inferior position through -theprejudic? and ignorance of the white mau, with whom h< should be upon equality. I The negro has been, and atoll is, thorough' ly misunderstood. However severely we ma; condemn the horrible system-ol'slavery, thc results of emancipation have proved that thc negro does not appreciate the blessings ol freedom, nor does he show the slightest feel? ing of gratitude to the hand that broke the rivets of his fetters. His narrow m'ipd cannoi embrace that feeling in pure philanthropy thal first prompted England to . .decLso iieraeJJ against slavery, and he only regards' the anti? slavery movement as a,jfroof of his own im? portance. In his limited horizon, he is him? self the important object, and as a sequence to his Belf-couceit, he imagines the whole world is at issue concerning the black man. The negro, therefore, being the important question must ta an important person, and he conducts himself accordingly-h J is far too great a man to work. Upon this point his nat? ural character exhibits itself mose determined? ly. Accordingly, he resists any attempt at coercion; being free, his first impulse is tc claim an equality with those whom he lately served, and to usurp a dignity with absurd pretensions, that must inevitably insure the disgust of the white community. Ill will ia thus engendered, a haired and jealousy estab? lished belweon'the two races, combined with the errors that in such condition must arise upon both sides. The anal question remains, Why was the negro first introduced into om colonies-and to America ? The sun is the great arbitrator between the white and the black mao. There are produc? tions necessary to civilized countries, that can alone be cultivated in tropical climates, where the white man cannot live if exposed to labor in the sun. Thus, such fertile countries as the West lidies and portions of America being without a native population, the negro was originally imported as a slave, to fulfil the conditions of a laborer. In his own country he was a wild savage, and enslaved his brother man, he thus became a victim to his own sys? tem; to the institution of slavery that is indi? genous to the soil of Africa, and that has not been taught to the African by the whit j man, as is currently reported, but that has ever been the peculiar characteristic of African tribes. In his state of slavery, the negro was com? pelled to work, and through his labor every country prospered where he hod been intro? duced. He was suddenly freed; and from that moment he refused to work, and, instead of being a useful member of society, he not only became a useless burden to the community, but a plotter and intriguer, imbued with a deadly hatred to the white man who had gene? rously declared bim free. Now, as the negro was originally imported as a laborer, but now refuses to labor, it is self evident that he is a lamentable failure. Either he must be compelled to work, by some strin? gent law against vagrancy, or those beautiful countries that prospered under the conditions of negro forced industry niuat yield to ruin, under negro freedom and idle independence. For an example of the result, look at St. Do? mingo 1 Under peculiar guidance, and subject to a certain restraint, the negro may bo an impor? tant and most useful being; but if treated as an Englishman, he will affect the vices tut none of the virtues of civilization, and his natural good qualities will be lost in his attempt to be? come a "white man." ARRIVAI, OE IMMIGRANTS AT NEWBERRY. The Newberry Herald of Wednesday last con? tains the following highly gratifying state? ment : The first batch of any considerable number of German immigrants* arrived here on Wed? nesday last, under the care of the B3V. T. S. Boinest, the energetic, persevering and work? ing President of our Immigration Society. About twenty-two in number, fctout rosy cheeked, intelligent loooking men, women and children, their arrival was an occasion of great interest to the community, and when viewed as the forerunner of a large and continued in? flux, we cannot but feel gratified at the pros? pect before us-an increase of white popula? tion, greater prosperity, enhanced value ol properly and more abundant products. Let them como, the more the better ; five thou? sand ot these working, thrifty- people can find abundant room in this district, and would build up the waste places, restore thc the thousands of- acres of land now cast out into old field, simply because the owners have not the force nor desire lo make them yield ot' the fruits ol' thc earth. Invito them here, Bend for them, mid if in no other way give thom the laud which is uow idle, it will be as bread cast on the waters, returning after many days, in an increase of prosperity to the district. Wc learn from Mr. Boinest that be bad many ad? verse influences to work against, and not being able to talk to these people, found no little dif? ficulty in counteracting them, and under the circumstances, without an interpreter from home, we think he succeeded well. He tells ns that at one time he bad about fifty consenting to como, but, before leaving, more" than half ol them were stolen off und T false ; ersuasious. The parly nov,- herc have all gone to work, anti from what we leam, give universal satisfaction.

General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in thc United States. BALTIMORE, May 26,-F'flh Day.- The as? sembly met yesterday morning at the usual hour, Kev. J. X. Waddel, moderator, in the chair. Rev. Dr. W. J. R. Taylor, Secretary of the American Bible Society, was called upon and addressed the assembly upon matters connect? ed with that association. Since the organiza? tion of this society it has distributed upwards of 24,000,000 volumes of the Bible, during the last five years 6.000,000 volumes, and during the last year 1,300,000. The receipts during the past five years have been $3,335,000, and since the organization of the society it has re? ceived, as s%cred trusts, the enormous sum of a fraction over $11,000,000. Rev. J. H. Martin, from the committee to whom was referred the fh'st annual report of the Trustees of the General Assemblv of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, sub? mitted a report. The committee recommend that no reduction be made in the number of trustees at this particular time, and recom men l that the'present number, fifteen, be di? vided into three classes, of five each; the first class to hold offhe for one rear, the second class two years, the third class three years; and that, as the term of office of these classes shall severally expire, the vacancy annually oc? curring shall be filled by the appointment of five trustees, who shall serve for three years. Under this classification the following appoint? ments were made : For one year-Eon. Thomas C. Perrin, S. C.; Joseph H. Wilson. N. C.; Jesse H. Lindsav, 5. C. ; James HemphUl, S. C.; Rev. Geoige Howe, D. D., 8. C. For two years-Robert Adger, S. C.; Hon. J. A. Inglis, ti. C.; J. A. Ansley, Ga.: Joh a Whit? ing, Ala.; Rev. B. M. Palmer, D.D., La. xor three years-J. Hannan Brown, Md.; T. J. Kirkpatrick, Va.; D. W. Kennedy, Tenn.;. John Handy, Miss.; Rev. Samuel McKinney, D. D" Texas. The committee further recommend that the by-laws approved and adopted bv th? General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States be adopted as the rules which shall govern the corporation. Rev. Dr. Peck submitted the report of the committee on systematic benevolence, which was read and laid over until ten o'clock this morning. Resolutions were contained in the report to the effect that all appropriations hereafter made by the committee jf sustenta? tion in aid of pastor's supplies, missionaries and evangelists shall be subject to certain con? ditions, in addition to those already embodied in the by-laws of the committee already ap? proved by the assembly; that it shall be the duty of the treasurer of the committee of sus? tentation to call special attention to the ap? propriations when making remittances in aid of ministers. Rev. Dr. Stratton, from the Committee on Publication, reported that the committee had carefully examined the annual report of the Executive Committee of Publication, and find it in a healthy and prosperous condition. The debt previously existing has been largely re doced, and the committee state that the call for gratuitous supplies for books and tracts has been properly met. The report closed with a series of resolutions, which were adopted, and the committee previously appointed continued in office for the ensuing year. Rev. Dr. Smith read the report of the Stand? ing Committee on Sustentation. The report states that the committee have been able to meet the demands made upon them for aid, yet there are too many missionaries compelled to engage in secular employment to obtain a support. This will require greater energv on the part of a self-supporting church to aid* feebler churches. Pendine the discussion of the report the As? sembly adjourned. On Monday night a meeting was held in the church for thc consideration of thc subject of education among Presbyterians in the South. Addresses wcro made by Rev. Drs. Ba rd, McPhail and Moore, urging upon the people 4ber7>esessity---of wntrjforttn* -to-tthe great- - wan/. About eight hundred dollars were ool lcoicd. THE PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.-'ihe main article in the proposed plan of reunion of the Presbyterian Church is that which establishes the basis of doctrine upon which the two bodies are expected to unite. . It proposes to acknowledge the Holy Scrip? tures as the inspired Word of God, and Pres? byterian Confession of Faith as containing the doctrines taught in the Scriptures; but it allows fui F freedom as to the methods of illus? trating and explaining. the doctrines of the Confess on, which do not impair the Calvinis? tic system. In other words, religious freedom is to be allowed to the churches in the inter? pretation of ' reshyter.au doctrine, so that the Old School and New School may each enforce the peculiar views formerly held' forth in their respective churches without offence. All that follows is matter of arrangement and reconciliation of conflicting interests and rules as to church government, property, ?cc These important matters' are now before thc General Assemblies of the Old School and New School Presbyterians. To make the treaty binding it is necessary that each General Assembly of the present year shall ratify it. Afterward't is to be transmitted to the various Presbyteries in the United States, of both churches. To be? come valid and binding it must bo ratified by three-fourths of those bodies within a year. When the General Assemblies moot in 1869, the votes or responses are to be counted. If it is found that thc plan of union is sustained by the regula.- voie, tuoso General Assemblies after transacting theil- business, shall be dis? solved, and thenceforth the terms "New School" and "Old School" will become obsolete, and the Piesbyterian Church in the United States will be united. There will be in that case but one General Assembly in 1870, elected by the churches now belonging to the divisions. DEATH OF CAPT. HENEY C. BRANDT.-Capt. Henry C. Brandt, well known as Freedman's Bureau Agent for St. Peter's parish, S. C., but who has generally kept his headquarters in Sa? vannah, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning, at his room, No. 16, City Hotel Build? ing.
