Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCrcery, Norton, Patterson, of Tenn.j Rose, Saulsbury, Trumbull, Vi?n Winkle, Vickers.? 19. William* moved fifteen minute* recess; negatived. He tlien moved adjournment to the 26th. Johnson suggested an announcement of the vote. Chase said he wonld uot announce the roto until it was taken on all the articles, unless, the Semite ordered otherwise. T>rakc raised a point, that nothing wn* in order. Pending a motion to adjourn, llender? eon said a motion to adjourn was not in order while the roll was pending. Chase sustained the last point and directed the Secretary to read the roll) which being read, the Chief Justice stated that thorn were 3ft rotes for "guilty," and 19 for " notjguilty," and that the President was, therefore, acquitted on the eleventh article. Chase then stated that the Senate was now in process of csrrying out the order to proceed to vote upon articles of impeach merit, ami no motion was now in orUer while that wns pending. t'onnoss 'appealed.

Ad ! 1 vi^u mem ' TB f; S Presidential Prospects. " Mack," aorrespondent of lh? Cincinnati Cutuinerehi^ (Bep ,) writing fiotn Washing ton, discourses upon the proep.ot fur tbe Democratic nomination a? follow*; MU?w.rro?>i homihatioN. ... . The indorsement of Tendletoa by tire HID nois D.mocrntio Convention secures his nomination at New York beyond any reasonable doubt, notwithstanding the effort* thnt are being made to get up a ft?1i?g in favor of Haneock, Dix, Blair, or rune oilier '{en!lmu*n. There is not now nor never has been any life in the Hancock movement, or the Blair movement, or the Dix movement, or any other Dswocralie movement, exeept the rendition move _ t ... interested in Pendleton's defeat nt New York, there is not a Western Democrat who is not in his favor. Something lias been said rueently nhoot nominnting Mr. Chase , on such a platform a* wotihi secure the support of.the Democratic party ; but 1 lie lieve that the idea linn been abandoned from luck of support from Mr. Chase himself; who la not a Presidential candidate thotieh he would like very much to be President. There is not the least doubt that if the Democrats would give their support to Mr. Chaae he would carry a very Northern State, or nearly everyone. lint; the project it a visionary one, vieaed in the light of party ties and party prejudice Mr. Chaae neither asks nor expect* the Democratic party to support him, however gratified he miglttfl) to see thein do so ? Nor ia it inucli of a secret to Washington, that as between (frant, and Wad", and Pendleton, and whoever el?e may be nami nated ^ Nmv York, Mr, Chns"'s preference will not be for the former. lie would be tnucii b-?n hiiniMit and more divine tliah men gone'ally arc in this world if he were inclined to give his influence or his support to men who nava done their beat to slender and malign him in the exercise of his high eel judicial functions, and to liring discred t on him as a man because he ac'cd uprightly and conscientiously as a Judge. So It.lie* d net astonish any one to find many of Mr Chase's warmest peisonnl friends actively and earnestly supposing the P.-mnuiotic nominee next fall, and that nominee will be Mr. Pendleton, beyond all doubt. AN OlU ACTION TO IJ.t^COCft. Talking, a day of two age, with a promi nent Democrat, lie told me there was one objection to Hancock which, t' O'igh unreasonable.

CRKENVlL.jLE, S.C, \ WED1TB8DAT, MAT 80. 1808. Impeachment,??t*te Constitutions. We five, from Ihe rJieiijr, a full account i of the proceedings on Impeachment last Saturday. The eleventh article, on which the Pwkl?nt lias been icquKttii, embraces everything material in the other charge#.-? Thv adjournment to thfe t6th"eii#penila further action for the preeent. What the final ' result will l>? is not positively certain. The presumption'is, that Impeaohmeut will fail, unless the Radical Congress first admit some of the new-made Senators from the Southern States, Arkansas, for instance. The tlill to ratify the Constitution-of I South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, has passed the House of Representatives by more ihan two-thirds.majority, and is now before the Senate. That body will not act on it till after the elections for TMrtriet officers, we presume. The Alabama Constitution came near b< ing stricken out of the Bill. It ie to he hojied, for the sako of humanity and justice, that the Senate will at leas' strikeout of the mil that infamous Constitution, that re quire# every voter to swear to support forever end ever the negro Constitution, of ttial State, however i uinoua U may prove hereafter. . _. Loyal Leagues and Democratic Club*.

They are not afraid uf the light. It See ma to us a hud sign for any political society to hold, a? a rule, secret or private meetings. The exiatvnee of laqal .Leagues must force the t'.?h?ervalite part of the population, all over the State, to tot in Cluhs, and organize aguinst the aecrvt societies.

Before the late election in Spartanburg District, the people quit the leagues by hutidrels. The same ilting is now going on elsewhere, and a similar movement in Greenville is sure to acquire more and more force. Yet a little while, and the District will show lis true Democratic color*, and unite for the support of liberty, the conalitut ion amk union.

The meeting was addressed by Goveroor Penny.and oth-! era. This neighborhood is almost entirely , Democratic, as far as the whites are concerned, , with vary few exception*, and the colored people there will no doubt yield to proper in- ; fluenres brought to bear. Major Siiumatr i was elected President. On the same day, a meeting was held by the Fairriew Democratic Club. This Cluh is a highly intelligent one, and are acting quite up to tho mark, needing no enlightenment in ' their proccoding*. The meeting was addressed . by Capt. G. G. Wki.I.S. who entertained them ery ssii-faetorily for s in?o thirty minutes, showing tho nofarious policy of the Radical party. After his conclusion, upon Invitation, wc, being present, made a Tow remarks, urging upon tho Democrats of the District the Importance of efficient action. Col. T. J,.

W. fk Mit.i.an was elected President and Facas E. Marti* Secretary. W. T. Smith was nominated for Magistrate in that limit and Saxuri. L. Vavoux for Constable. We have received the proceedings, but too late fur insertion this week. Thus does tho work progress, and we hopo ere long to record the fart that every little settlement will have its Club, and that the members are using their influence to carry with them every voter, white and black. An Brouralon to Abbavtlle District. We bad the pleasure of a trip to the neighborhood of Xew Market on Friday last, returning home on M-utda/.

Let us hail it with joy. ORCtXVlLML A Nut for tho R adicaltt It may bo of ronte little interest to lh? people of our Stai* to know what proportion of the burdcq of taxation is borne by thoir " so-called " representatives In tha lata Convention and tha recently elected Legislature. It will certainly go far to soothe tba. feeling* of tba outraged tax-pny-rr, that these gentlemen have contributed ro llboMlly. to the fond* of our impoverished Stale, which their lata tuber* In the Convention compelled them to deplata J with such patriotic spirit. The following statement exhibit* an analysis of the taxes paid by (he member* of tba Convention and of the Legislature recently elected, according to the tax retiirnsjin the Comptroller's office: The total amount paid by the members of the Legialuture, $700,63; of thie amount, six members pay, $.191,62, leaving balance paid by all other members * $.309.01. Executions for $146.76 of this batari co have been issued, and we have hot been able to ascertain whether or not they ate paid. The total amount paid by the rnem'tera of the CoHifilutioj'ul Convention, $679.64; of this" amount, one member (a conservative) paid $608.66; anil three members paid $210.66? $719.35; balance paid by all other member*. $160.19. Executions for $77.75 of thia balance have been lodged, and we are unable to say whether they arc paid or not. Allowing ibnt these executions are unpaid, and it ia reasonable thus to suppose, the amount of taxes j paid by 120 men of the Convention for one j year ?b 984.24. These 120 received for sixty day*' irrvirc at tb* ConrentiA, $70,200. K?t minting tbrir contributions to the public treasury by this return, it will take them 955 years to repay tba State the turn tbey abf traded from her for *i\ty days' ecrvice! Tbia ia efifflusive of mileage?which would increaaa the amount paid to the Conventionitea to more than $100,000.?-I'kcrnix. " m> The following'despatch, which should bar* been publiahrd yesterday .morning, was aecN dentally omitted. Sir. Brooks concluded hia remarks on the admission of the Southern States by saying :?fkanix. " The whole object of the Congressional legislation was apparent. It waa aU intended to radicalise the South, uud the party in power here bare amnesty and pardon and welcome for any man who embraces radicalism, no mattes what his past conduct or past aets may bare been, or bow deeply and darkly hit bauds had been Imbrued in treason. Those who sreepted radical views were pardoned by wholesale." Paiue and Bingham adroted the bill. Wooobridge offered an amendment'to strika Alabama from the bill. Lost by a rota of 60 to 74. Stevens' amendment, in reference to debts due loyal men in Georgia, era* adopted. Ayes 78, nays 50. An amendment, striking from the first section the eianses prohibiting a change in the Constitution, and inserting In lien theroof, that " the Constitmions of said States shall never be amendod or changed to as to discriminate ia favor of or against any citista or class | of citisens of the United States, ia reference to Ike right to vote, who ire now entitled to vot? by eald Conititution*, wu adopted with* out diriaion.
