STAMPED 53. DIADDEUS STEVENS' FORMER OPINIONS The opinions of Thaddeus Stevens have formed I the subject of the last paper of an interesting series by Elward A. Pollard in the Southern Home Jour nal, entitled " The Living Politicians of the Day." Referring to Mr. Stevens's early opinions, the author says, "In the year 1837 a Convention was called in Pennsylvania to reform the State Constitu tion ; and happily there occurred in that body a controversy similar or analogous to that which now dividt.s Congress, as to the power of the President of the United States to con trol his Cabinet, or, in plain phrase, to regu late his political household. Thaddeus Stevens sat in that Convention ; and when an amendment was proposed to restrict the power of the Governor in the appointment of officers, he made a zealous and flaming speech in opposition to it. The follow ing are some of the passages of that speech : " Having reluctantly but inevitably come to the mournful conclusion that all the vital parts of this venerable and hitherto venerated Constitution of ours are given over to immo lation, as a sacrifice to the restless spirit of change, which has taken possession of this Conven tion, I do not, address you on this occasion with the 'hope of staying the hand of destruction which is raised against it ; but simply to offer reasons which, to my mind, are all-powerful for resisting the depredations which are making upon this article of the great charter of our rights. * * * Why take the appointment of the Heads of the De partments, Surveyor-General, Attorney-General, Secretary of the Land Office, and Auditor-General, from the Governor? They are essentially a part of his Cabinet. His own comfort, and the comfort of each of them, as well as the public interest, require that there should be perfect harmony and unity of views and action among them. But if you take the appointments from the Governor, it may and pro bably often will happen that he will be of one party, and entertain one set of principles, and they be of another party, and hold entirely opposite principles; discord and opposition must 'then disturb their counsels, and injure the interests of the State. * * * * The Governor and the Senate would either be of the same political party or hostile par ties. If of the same party, the Senate would be no check upon the Governor, as there would be perfect concert before the nomination, and therefore this supervising power would be useless. if they were of hostile parties, constant and bitter collisions would I exist between them, which would greatly disturb the faithful discharge of their other duties. * * This work of ruin seems not to be exclusively con fined to one party. True, all the members of the one party, whatever might have been their views when they came here, now act in perfect concert in stabbing the Constitu tion. They cunningly enough suppose that if this amendment prevails, they can always secure the spoils of office, either through the Governor or the Senate,. as they may always fairly calculate in hav ing one of them in their favour. For, when the burdens heaped upon the people by that party be come so heavy that they can no longer be borne, and their Governor is hurled from power, the Senate is not always also changed. Thus patronage being their object, they act unitedly. While many gentlemen of the other party, with an ostentatious magnanimity and a childish simplicity, either from the mistaken dictates of conscience, or to show their perfect independence - and freedom from party trammels, join them in their headlong course. The struggle here, therefore, is a vain one. Bat I have full confidence in a steady and disinterested people ; disinterested as to the fate of parties, but deeply interested in the welfare of the State, and the protection of the lives, the liberty, and the property of its citizens. Send forth to them this mangled, muti lated, and deformed constitution, and they will put their seal of condemnation upon it; and they will still live and prosper under the well-tried charter which their wise and honest fathers left them." A correspondent of the Baltimore Commercial wrote from the City of Mexico, Feb. 23, 186 S : , 4 Mexico is losing friends daily. her treatment of creditors is atrocious. General Sturm, who fur nished arms during the war, remained here for three months attempting to adjust his claims. A few months since he left with not a dollar in money, but earnest promises to pay. 11Ir. Tift, a New York banker, and firm friend of the Republic in the trying times of the intervention, is still here, and his claims are yet unsettled. Hundreds of others— principally Americans—still wait from day to day, and the prospect ahead is not the most pleasing one. The right party is not at the head of affairs, and the policy pursued is destined to wreck the concern, sooner or later." The conspiracy against the life and authority of Juarez he thus describes :—" The plot was discovered in time to prevent the tragedy. Colonel Esteves, and most of the officers of the 7th Regiment of the line, were connected with the plot. Esteves was to shoot Juarez in his box at the theatre. Iturbide, on the night of the 17th, and another officer, in command at the palace, were to dispose of the Ministers. The would-be assassins not being aware of dis covery began to carry out the plan as the evening ad vanced. Esteves was arrested as he entered the theatre, and the rest secured at the same mo ment. The conspirators are now in irons, and will be tried very soon. Papers and letters were seized at the same time detailing the plan, and that Santa Anna was implicated, and also General Negrete. Up to this time the public knows nothing as to the ramifications of the plot, but rumour has it that . many accomplices are scattered over the coun try, and that other regiments and many pro minent persons were active in the commission of the act. It is known that if the conspira tors succeeded, a plan of liberty was to be proclaimed, and another man called to fill the Presidential chair. Whether Santa Anna him self was to resume his old place is unknown as yet, but the facts will appear on the trial, and in the publication of the papers which are now being examined for that purpose. Excitement, of course, was intense ; and the respectability of the parties concerned makes it a matter of the most serious character. It is no individual affair, nor the work of a few enthusiasts ; but a plot conceived, and was on the point of consummation, by men of rank and position—the very body guard of the Presi dent, and guards of the palace. These are the facts as officially stated in the Government paper. A general distrust is apparent—distrust of the Government in the management of public affairs, in the capacity and honesty of Juarez and of his Cabinet. The people have been wrought up by continued usurpations—usur pations in the States—and. the Government here unable or unwilling to interfere. The infamous proceedings at San Louis and Guerrero, Sinaloa, and other States have not ceased, and yet before the general indignation has been half exhausted a new monstrosity appears in the gubernatorial election in the State of Puebla. There were four candidates, one opposed to the policy of Juarez. That one, Mendez, beat all his competitors put together at the polls. The Legislature, now in session, immedi ately declared that there was no election, and with out proofs or investigation proceeded to elect the man of its choice, and the man, too, whom Mendez led in the 30,000 votes. And when a town of that State, stung by the wrong, pronounced against this usurpation of power, the leading organ of the Go vernment hopes that the people will not be induced to resist, but submit quietly. The Government here is silent upon the subj ct, and permit, with out a word of rebuke, this flagrant violation of law. Who is so dull as to doubt its complicity in all these abuses and usurpations ? The revolution and anarchy that are abroad in the land—aye, the latter and and more desperate modes of redress sought—fl, legitimately from misgovernment, ifncaptirtcivs,manitill duplicity, and the utter absence o man here of the conspiracy will be shot, noc, those who profess to execute the laws. pa The leaders be lieveshe:tdiwith a fi t )r t e the tl reefs, d Ihe ro upon a vernment , is structive shore. The attempted assassination r)apetit'lly drifting pro duced a panic among the lights of the Republic, and we are told that in ten days a new Cabinet will succeed the present incumbents.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times writes :—" A correspondent of the Daily Express reports the occurrence of an accident with a revolver similar to one which happened recently in this city. A young lad, named O'Riordan, a clerk in Murphy's brewery, entered a tavern on the Western-road with two men for refresh. ments. While they were there a fourth man entered the house, got into conversation with them, and ex hibited a revolver, the construction of which he was engaged in explaining when it exploded, and lodged its contents, for it was loaded, in O'Riordan's breast. The stranger immediately fled, pursued by O'Riordan's friends. The lad was conveyed to the infirmary, where he received medical attention. Strange to say, the wound is not considered dangerous. The whole party are supposed to be Fenians, but O'Riordan repudiates any knowledge of the man who wounded him. Arrests on suspicion of Fenianism continue to be made in Cork, and several seizures of arms have been made. It is reported that on Sunday and Monday nights four houses were visited. and among them was that co' a gentle ran residing in Sun dayswell, who was aroused by a loud knocking at his door. When he opened it, three men pushed their way into the hall. One of them demanded his revolver. He denied having such a weapon, but the man was too well informed to be so easily put off. He not only described the weapon, but told the spot in his bedroom where it would be found. The demand was then repeated in such peremptory terms that the gentleman deemed it prudent to comply. He then went upstairs, brought down the revolver, and handed it to his visitors, who in formed him they adopted this mode of obtaining arms in order to supply the number which had been taken by the police. On the same night a party knocked at the door of a house in the same locality which was in charge of a housekeeper. Suspecting their object, she threw a gun and sword out into the yard, and then opening the door, assured them that there were no arms in the howl), VA 'iced them to withdraw." PASTOULL LETTER. —The Lord Bishop bury (says the Dcrizcs Gazette) has just issued a pastoral letter to his clergy, requesting them to make collections in aid of " The Curates' Augmentation Fund," the object of the fund being to give the licensed curate while at wo: k a stipend of, if possible, £lOO per annum over and above the stipend which he receives from other sources. Chilworth, near Ronisey, in Hants, is celebrated for its daffodils. The meadows have been covered within tho last week or two with the yellow bloom of these flowers, and supply the neighbouring towns with spring bouquets. The flower is an emblem of sorrow. Milton, in his " - Lycida.g," calls upon the daffodils to fill their cups with tears. We have authority to state that there is not, nor ever has been, the slightest foundation for the report that it was intended to appoint the Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein to the colonelcy of the 11th Hussars. No such idea ever suggested itself either to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief or to Sir John Paking ton. Major• General Key has been selected for the vacant regiment. —Times. The number of petitions on the subject of the Irish Church presented to the House of Commons on Thursday appears, from the official return, to have been 1,387. Of these 1,150 were against Mr. Gladstone's reso lutions and 237 for. The total number np to that date had been 1,880 against the resolutions and 405 for them. Besides these a large additional number were presented to the House on Friday night. FEARFUL ACCIDENT. —A most frightful accident occurred at the Pontop colliery, in the county of Durham, on Thursday, which caused the destruction of 52 horses and ponies, and which did a large amount of mischief. Fortunately the pit was not working at the time, but the offhand men below escaped as by a miracle. The water broke in from some of the old "levels," the supposed accu mulation of 100 years, and flooded the workings. The few men who were below escaped to the shaft, but were nearly drowned before assistance could reach them, and all the horses and ponies were drowned in the section into which the flood rushed. The damage is laid at between £3,000 and £4,000, but it is expected that the pit will be got clear of water in a week. In the meantime 250 men and lads are off work. —Northern Daily Express. OUR SUPPLY OF COTTON. —The Caton Supply Reporter, in its leading article, says the torrent of specula tion which has swept over the cotton market shews most forcibly the perils to which the trade is subject, and that we can never be safe from operations so perplexing and detrimental as long as our supplies are scanty and uncer tain. It is difficult to find anything to justify the reckless and dangerous spirit now rife, or any adequate cause for the excitement which prevails. How far this state of things has been occasioned by those whose interests, rightly understood, should have led them to check it, is not for us to determine ; but that the market is unduly inflated must lead to great embarrassment. What is described by a Liverpool contemporary as a " frantic rush to buy cotton" will shew to the growers everywhere that they need not spare any exertions, and need not be afraid of increased production. The same journal then proceeds to point out that there is much to be done for our future supplies, in order to make them abundant and secure, and points to India, where, it states, land can be obtained for 3s. per acre, on a thirty years' lease from Goveinment, the only increase being that which arises from the general advantages conferred by the Government constructing railways or irrigation. India would also be benefited by the experienced planters with a capital, and emigration and an improved cultivation might be reckoned on with certainty.

The prz. amble of the Act sufficiently points out the objects in view, since it is very correctly recited, firstly, that the means of communication at present existing by electric telegraaph are insufficient, and many important districts are with out any such means of communication ; secondly, that there is nothing in the existing Acts of Parliament making it obligatory upon telegraph companies to exercise their powers within any particular district ; and, thirdly, that it would be attended with great advantage to the State, to merchants and traders, and to the public generally, if a cheaper, more widely extended, and more expeditious system of telegraphy were established, and to that end it is expedient that the Postmaster-General be empowered to work telegraphs in connection with the administration of the Post Office. In the first instance it is provided that the powers of the Telegraph Act of 1863, which applies to all telegraph companies, shall be incorporated in this Act, by which means the public will be as much protected against the exercise of any special privileges as they now are. The means of acquiring and purchasing the interests of existing companies arc permissive only, and not compulsory. Thus it is made lawful for the Postmaster- General, with the consent of the Treasury, from time to time, out of moneys to be appropriated by Act of Parlia ment for that purpose, to pu'rchase the whole or such parts as he shall think fit of the undertaking of any com pany, which shall then be vested in the Postmaster- General arid his successors, and any company with the authority of two-thirds of the votes of their shareholders may sell their undertaking to the Postmaster-General for such sum as may be mutually agreed upon, and the acts, charters, and grants of any such company shall re main in full force, and any works which could have been executed by the company shall thereafter be executed by the Postmaster-General. If any one undertaking shall be atquired-lay the Postmaster-General under the powers of this Act, then it is made compulsory upon him to purchase any other companies already established who shall be desirous of selling their undertaking either upon terms to be agreed upon between them or to be fixed by arbi tration. There are powers conferred upon the Post master-General from time to time to lease any parts of the undertakings or property so purchased by him, and to make regulations for the conduct of the telegraph busi ness generally ; and in this respect the public will find that their interests are well protected, since it is provided that the charges for the transmission of messages through out the United Kingdom shall uniformly, and without re gard to distance, be at a rate not exceeding ls. for the first 20 words or part of 20 words, and not exceeding 6d. for each additional 10 words or part of 10 words, the names and addresses of the senders and receivers not being counted as part of the words ; and that these sums shall in clude delivery by special foot messengers within one mile of the Terminal Telegraphic Office, or within the town postal delivery of that office when it is a head office, and the town postal delivery extends for more than a mile from it. The charge for delivery beyond the prescribed limits, where the sender desires to have his message delivered by special foot messenger, is not to exceed sixpence per double mile, but if the sender does not wish to incur the extra charge for a special messenger beyond the limits, then the message will be delivered free by the ordinary postal delivery next following the arrival of the message. The payments for transmission of messages (except extra porterage) will in all cases be made by means of stamps, and a proper supply of stamps and stamped paper for that purpose will be kept at the post offices. The Postmaster-General is also empowered to appoint any offices or pillar letter-boxes he may think fit as places of deposit for messages, which will then be conveyed to the offices of transmission without extra charge at the ordinary time for collecting post letters. All regulations made by the Postmaster- General from time to time are to receive the sanction of Parliament before they are put into operation. The general provisions of this Act are, no doubt, calculated to effect a very beneficial improvement in the conduct of the telegraphic communications of the country ; but there appears to be one palpable omission suggested by the second clause of the preamble, which is, that there is no enactment making it obligatory upon the Postmaster-General to extend the telegraph system throughout any particular districts. It has, of course, been found by the existing companies that the populous districts pay better than others ; but if private enterprise is to be swamped by Government centralisation, there certainly should be some assurance given to the public that every effort will be made to extend the telegraph wires wherever a reasonable amount of en couragement is offered. The principle of the scheme is good, for there can be no question that by means of the Post Office machinery and appliances a very considerable saving may be effected in the management, and as there will be no bodies of shareholders clamouring for large divi dends, all the profits may be made available for the benefit of the public generally. It is certainly a very singular fact that Great Britain, which is the most letter-writing country in Europe, should stand the lowest in the scale in respect of telegraphic communications. One would have supposed that the enormous amount of mercantile transactions in the country would have produced a different result, and the only way of accounting for the phenomenon is the hitherto imperfect nature of the telegraphic arrangements. We cannot doubt that a new and improved system will create a very considerable alteration in this respect. It will, however, be necessary that in passing such a measure some minor details should be well considered, and amongst others we would draw attention to the present employes in the different telegraph companies. It appears that there are hundreds of ladies now acting in the capacity of clerks, and it has been said, and probably with much truth, that educated women are capable of ac quiring the necessary manipulation of the apparatus in a much shorter time than men. It would be a subject of great regret if female talent should under the Government system be excluded from the various offices, but we are aware that such a suggestion has already been mooted. It would certainly take time to induct a sufficient number of men into the business, and the ladies may therefore rest assured that their employment will continue for at least two years ; but we trust that instead of limiting the employment of women a still greater use will be made of them, and that the increase of telegraphic business generally will open to females a new field of useful em ployment, by which they may earn sufficient to support themselves.

MANSTON HousE.—The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, with their sister (Miss Allen), have accepted invitations from the Lord Mayor of Dublin to be his guests on the forthcoming visit of their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and they will leave the Mansion House for Dublin on the evening of Tuesday or Wednesday week. The visit will render it necessary for the Lord Mayor to appoint a member of the Court of Aldermen to discharge the duties of chief magic trate of the City during his absence. A labourer, named Mallon, at Liverpool, stran gled his child, three years old, with his hands. The poor boy slept with his father and mother, and the shocking deed was committed about three o'clock on Friday morn ing. The mother, on becoming aware of what had occurred, raised an alarm, and the neighbours rushed in. The wretched man afterwards attempted to cut his throat, but the knife 'was not sharp enough. He said "the devil bade him do it." The prisoner is said to be suffering from "mental weakness, the result of in temperance."

The soldiers returned to Warrington on Friday, where, however, they remain in. readiness for immediate transport to Haydock ; the business of only a very few minutes, as the colliery railway of Mr. Evans runs into the heart of the township. The Wigan police were strongly represented in Whelley on Saturday morning, but all was quiet there, and reports from all the other districts were of a similar character.
