The Presideut'8 friends are tran? quil, Under the cortainty of his ao ?uittal. Howard is still very sick, little probability of a vote until after the Chicago recess. Chief Justice Carter, to-day, re? fused to admit Sarratt to bail, on the gronud that tho prosecution was ready for tho trial, and that it was at tho instance of the oounsel for the prisoner, that tho case was con? tinued. In tho House, the bill admitting S?veral Southern States was taken np. Stevern offered tho following amendment: "Proaided, That the provision of the'seveutocnth section of the Constitution of the State of Georgia shall not apply to a debt due to any person who, during tho whole timo of tho late rebellion, was loyal to tho United States, and opposed to secession." Stevens gave notice that he would call the previous qnastion, in order that a vote might be taken. This morning's Times says: "Im? peachment him failed; th?, postpone? ment of tho voto is an admission of tlyo Juct; and the declaration on be ff tho prosecution, that it will (.aken oven then, unless oon rb*? certain, iudicates a belief Ehe whole thing must be aban? doned. It is stated that a member of Congress received a despatch say iug that tho Chicago Tribune sup? ports acquittal Senators." Both parties seem oqually coulidont of impeachment. In tho Senate, a commnuiention from Grant, covering voluminous in? formation from tho Southorn States, was referred to the Military Commit? tee.

Sherman presented the resolutions of tho Ohio Legislature, protesting against the Reconstruction Acts, and instructing the Senators and requesting tho Representatives to vote for their repeal; also protest? ing against the bil! limiting the juris? diction of the Supremo Court. Sher mau regarded this as extraordinary, and at bis instance it was tabled. Forney's resignation was laid on the tablo, against Cameron's motion, that it bo accepted immediately.

Every member of this association pledges himself to sustain tho platform of principles recently put iorth by the Central Democratic Club at Columbia, to support Demo? crats for office, and to use his best exertions, iu every practicable and peaceoblo manner, to promoto the interest of the Democratic party in this State. This constitution having been read by tho Secretary and re-read by the Chairman, was unanimously adopted by article.
