Chrleston, March 13.—The Reconstruc tion Convention has passed an Ordinance invalidating all acts in the General Assem bly since 1860, pledging the faith and credit of the State for the benefit of corporations. Democratic State Conventions. Macon, March 13.—The Democratic State Cr,ntral Committee, in session since last night, closed their labors this afternoon, with the following resolutions : Resolved, That the opinions and feelings of the National Democratic party of Georgia and the United States, upon the unconstitu tionality and injustice of the Reconstruction Acts ot Congress are too decided and wel[ known to require reiteration here, their opposition to the action of the several Con ventions called in pursuance of these acts, and to the effort to establish the supremacy of the negro race in the South and to place the destinies of those States in the hands of adventurers and irresponsible persons, is equally decided and well known ; yet, warned by the fate of Alabama, and actuated by the instinct of self-preserva tion, we feel it to be our duty, to the extent of our power, to provide against every con tingency, and therefore would urge upon our friends to participate in the election which is to be held on the 20th of April, to the end that the best and wisest men now permanently identified with Georgia, and who will administer her Government in the interest of the people, and not for the pur pose of plunder, may be chosen to organize the Government, and frame the laws under which we and our posterity may have to live. Resolved, That in view of these principles and objects, we recommend to the people of every name and faith, who have the honor and well fare of Georgia at heart, that able Jurist, Conservative Statesman, and in corruptable Patriot, Augustus Reese, of the county of Morgan, as their candidate for Governor at the approaching election. The following were chosen delegates at large to the New York Convention : Gen John B. Gordon, Absalom Es. Chappell, B. H. Hill, and Henry S. Fitch. The Committee recommend that District Conventions be held on Tuesday, March 31st, to nominate candidates for Congress, and delegates to the New York Convention. Washington Items. Washington, March 13. —Anew Geor gia bill was offered in the Supreme Court this morning. Mr. Carpenter appeared on behalf of the Secretary of War and others; he objected on the ground that no one was authorized to appear here on behalf of Geor gia. Jenkins was not Georgia’s Governor. The Court took the bill and objection under advisement, and will probably decide it on Monday at 12 o’clock. The galleries were filled, nil black faces in the crowd ; it creates indignation among the Republicans. The galleries are almost entirely filled with ladies, the members appear to have confined their favors to their boarding houses. The Sena tors occupy their usual seats, in the rear are one hundred and fifty chairs for the mem bers. Stanberry, Curtis and Nelson were present for the President. At one o’clock Chief Justice Chase entered Court and proclaimed it open. They are now reading the journal. During the read" ing of the journal, the head of the House procession, arm in arm, appeared at the Senate entrance, where it halted for ten minutes, and passed. One of the managers announced that Stevens and Butler were absent, when the roll was called to swear Senators who were present. The hour will be occupied iu routine. Chase governed the Court very strictly. The Chaplain, in his elaborate appeal, failed to mention the accused. The managers were defeated in both their attempts—first, to compel an answer to day; and second, to have the trial proceed immediately after their application, regardless of State preparation of defense. The Court will give the accused no authority or money to send for witnesses. The debate developed the fact that after the President makes his answer on the 23d, the managers will have to submit their re-application to the House before present ing it. The managers estimate that this routine will occupy three days, after which if the Senate continues in its present temper, the President will have a liberal time for preparation. Only Stanberry, Curtis, and Nelson, of the President’s counsel, were present. All spoke, making a favorable impression. Bingham, Wilson, and Butler, of the mauagers, spoke. Butler fuvored speed in the proceedings, as this was a railroad age t Stevens, during tho absence of the Senate, reclined on two chairs, in a prominent position. His terrible cough gave interest to the interruption of tho proceedings. Revenue receipts $452,000. A full Cabinet meeting to day; previ* ously the President was engaged with Stanberry and Curtis regarding his trial. There was no argument in the Georgia case to-day. In the steamer “Wren” case, argued to day, two points wero involved : When the right of, capture as a prize terminated, and > whether vessels belonging to the Confede rate Government passed, by right of prop erty’ to the Unitod States. Tho Wren was captured June 13th, 1865. CongreMionaL Washington, March 13.— Senate— The Chaplain prayed that tho verdict of the high coart would be such as would be ap proved by the people and the High Court of Heaven. Private bills were considered until the impeachment hoar. During tho proceed ing*, it is reported, in a noon dispatch, that the Chief Justice snubbed Howard once and Grimes twice, by interrupting their BQ Kfs eß ii°ns with the remark, “The next thing in order.” Edmunds, Patterson, and Vicars were sworn. The managers and the House entered, and, on motion, the President’s counsel were notified and entered. Stanberry read a paper from the Presi dent, authorizing himsslf, J. 8. Black, Wm- M. Evarts, B. R. Curtis, and Thomas A. R, Nelson to represent the President. Stan berry asked for forty days to prepare an answer. Bingham opposed it, insisting that the rules required the plea to-day. He was supported by Wilson, when a sharp argu ment ensund. Mr. Edmunds moved to give to the 6th of April to answer, but before put, Mr. Morton moved that the Senate retire for consulta tion. Carried. The Senate remained out two hours and ten minutes. On return, an order was read that the President would answer on the 23d of March. The managers moved that immediately after their reapplication, the trial proceed. Lost, 26 to 25. Conkling moved that the trial commence immediately after application, unless Senate granted time on cause. Carried by a strict party vote. The Court adjourned to the 23d, and Sen ate adjourned to Monday. House. —A petition from the Georgia Con vention for SIOO,OOO to Southern Georgia and Florida Railroad—referred to Commit tee ou Appropriations. A number of private acts were referred, when the House, iu Committee of the Whole, proceeded to the Senate chamber. New Hampshire.
