The new Georgia Bill was offered in the Supreme Court this morning. Mr. Carpenter, on behalf of the Secretary of war, and oth ers, objected, on the ground that no one was authorized to appear here on behalf of Georgia Jenkins was not Governor of Georgia. The Court took the 'bill and ob jections under advisement and will proba bly decide on Monday. At 12 o'clock, the Senate galleries were filed no blackfaces in the crowd, which created indignation among Republicans. The galleries are filled with ladies. Mem bers appear to have confined their favors to their boardinghouses. Senators occupy their usual seats. In the rear are 150 chairs for members of the House. Stanbery, Curtis and Nelson are present for the President At 1 o'clock, Chase entered Court and proclaimed it open. "The rou w"TNrr nat thr.-.u. tofore absent. nro. MaTcb 13 c,en Uan HW Kjnrton.

The chaplain prayed that the verdict of tho High Court would he such as would he approved hy the people and the High Court ot Heaven! During the proceedings ropor'ed ia tho noon dispatch, tho Chief Justice snubbed Howard once, and Grimes twice, by inter rupting their suggestions with tho remark: " The next thing in order.'' Mr. Stanbery read a papr from the Pres ident, authorizing himself, J. S. Black, Win. M. Evarts, R. R. Cnrtis tndThos. A. B. Nelson, to ropresent him. Mr. Stanbery asked for forty days to pre pare an answer Bingham opposed, insisting that the rules required a plea to-day. He was sup ported hy Wilson. A sharp argument ensued. Edmunds moved to give to the 6th of April, to an ewer, but before it was put, Morton moved that the Senate retire for consultation. Carried. The Senate remained out two hours and ten minutes. On their return, an or. der was read, that the President answer on tho 23d of March. The Managers moved that, immediately after this replication, the trial nroceed. Lost rays 26, yeas 25. The Republic cans voting nay, were Anthony, Elmunds, Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen,.Griraes, Henderson, Howe, Booth, Connes, Nor ton, Sherman, Sprague, Trumbull, Van -Winkle and Wffloy. Conkling moved that the trial commence immediately after replication, unless the Senate grarted Use on oanse. Carried by a strict party rote. Judge Chase governed the case to-day Tery strictly. The chaplain in his elaborate appeal, failed to mention the accused. The managers were defeated in both their attempts: First, to compel an an. swer to-day second, to have the trial to proceed immediately after their replication, regardless of the preparation for the de fence.. -The court gave the accused no au thority 6r money to send for witnesses. It was not demanded by the defence. The debate developed the fact, that after the President makes his answer on the 23d., the managers wiil have to submit thar replication to the House, before presenting it. The managers estimate that this routine will occupy three days, after which, if the Senate continues in its present temper, the President will hare a liberal time far his preparation. Bingham, Wilson and Butler, of the managers spoke. Butler favcred speed in the proceedings, as this was a railroad age. Stevens, during the absence of the Senate, reclined on two chairs, in a prom inent position, racked by a terrible cough. New Hampshire Election Concord, N. H., March 13, p. m.

Florida Radicals here say tba opposi tion to the convention in that State is mainly confined to the negroes. Grant received a dispatch from 1 nom as, saying, in effect that the enemiss of the present "Government in Tennessee, r !1 yv i- irorfl ftrrrnnirincr ior rusistaucu iu mo - ;-j laws and to gat control of th State. Grant replied, ordering Thomas to use all the forces at his command to pre serve peace and protect tho State author ities in the execution of the laws, and to report if more troops were needed. Persons conversant with Senatorial feelings say tho real danger to tho Pres ident has narrowed down to the fact of appointing Thomas ad interim Secretary of War.

The Alliance Insurance Com pany at Boston, insured the sVip Marshall against seizure for $8,000. She was cap tured, near New Orleans. The Ifnder -writers resisted payment, on the proond that the seiiure wai illegal. The Massa chusetts court sustained the plea. The case came heforo the Supreme Court on appeal. The supreme court confirmed the decision, holding that (here was, at the time of capture a de facfo Government in the South, hut the effort to draw off the eleven States from their allegiance, and at setting: p a new Government, was illegal, M those Slates being constitu tionally in the Union." Chase and Swayne dissented. LOCAL AND STATE NEWS Tm White M Tgj: Nseso Jcgncx. We mentioned ia a for mer number that irwc beincr asaidaocslr cites late J in thia section that the Conservatives were working to pat the negroes back into slavery. Of course, no man with average intelligence, credited such a report, but among the ignorant blacks it was not without its weight ; and we therefore take occasien to refer to an incident in the great .conservative meeting, on Tuesday. During the couue of Gov. &rancea' remarks, be expressed his belief tffat the white men of North Carolina were willing to accord to the negro ev ery right and privilege given hva bf the great States of New Yorkj Ohio, New Jffjey, Penn sylvania, and several other northern 8tatea.

In order to move thoroughly, disarm tho white men and give the negro the " top holds." The Constitution has red'stricted tho State ; giving these counties where the negroes outnumber the whites a greater number of Senators than before; and lop ping off a member from districts where the whies are kn own to be Conservatives. We cannot publish the appointment in full at this time, but we give the fo'lowing : The 37th District Catawba, Gaston and Lincoln, elect one senator. 38th District Cleveland, Polk and Rutherford, elect one senator. 40th District Buncombe, Henderson and Transylvania, one senator. 41st District Burke, Caldwell and fau?a, one senator.
