When Lilly again on the scene, in 1856
he began that career which has made his name
known throughout the world. Such was his nature
that, wherever he appeared, he exercisel a supreme
control, for he was thoroughly in earnest, knew his
own mind, and relied implicitly on himself. The
idea that he could be wrong seemed never to cross
his imagination; and holding, therefore, that he was
absolutely right, he allowed na consideration
to turn him from his purpose. He was ready
in debate, and overflowing with sarcastic humour.
This ha mercilessly used against all who even
momentarily crossed his path ; an 1 as men derive
pleasure from the pain of others, when he rose the
House filled, the rush being to the galleries, to the
seats of the Representatives, and eves the Senate
" came pouring into his Chamber. While his words
thus rung out to listening ears, his personal appear-
ance was the reverse of commanding. His voice was
weak and shrill, and he sputtered when speaking
eagerly ; his yellow, heavy, massive head was sur-
mounted by a wig strangely out of keeping with his
age, and generally awry. HIS frame was thin and
weak, while his natural deformity still more de-
tracted from his physical power. Yet his strength of
mind surmounted these disadvantages, and lent an
energy to his oratory that penetrated every brain,
and grasped every heart. To the last, when almost
sinking from weakness, a light would suddenly
gleam from his eye and his whole frame would
brighten into animation. His voice would ring
clear and shrill ; with outstretched arm and long
shaking hand he would hurl on the party or the in-
dividual denunciations and scorn till be sank ex-
hausted in his chair, his mind still fiercely
blazing though in so weak and sickly a
case. Such was his earnestness, such his per-
severance, coupled with a courage that knew
no fear, that he attained a position no American
had ever before held, or is likely again to hold.
He led a great party, but in an extreme to which
that party did not always choose to go. Then he
would turn as fiercely upon his followers as upon
the opposition, and actually throw himself into the
ranks of the enemy. It was a marvel how the party
endured him, for never was there a man of more
independent action ; and it is asserted, and with
some truth, that an American politician must merge
the individual in the party. Yet, leading, he
opposed it—opposed it in caucus, in the Halls of
the Legislature—in the columns of the Press.
Without real culture, physically unfitted for the
battle of life, without friends, without wealth, this
strange man rose from his yeoman home on
the green hills of Vermont to sway the destinies
of the mightiest of nations, in the very crisis of that
nation's life. And he dil this by sheer earnestness
of purpose, for never did there live one who passed
through life with fewer personal friends and more
enemies. During the period of the greatest trial,
when men faltered bef.lre misfortune, and dis-
ruption hung over the Union, TaADDEus STEVENS
' was the soul of Congress. seemed to be
possessed with a strange spirit t) raise up the faint
heartel, to animate the wavering, and to deride
with au almost unearthly po vox those who dared
to think of pe tce. He was the first to offer the
resolution proclaiming freedam to slaves who took
up arms for the North, and it was owing in no
small degree to his persistent efforts that slavery
was finally abolished. But such a man, however
fitted to lead lin times of revolution when at all
hazards one end is to be attained, is ill adapted for
the after period of reconciliation and concession,
when the passions still rage though the strife has
ceased. No man can be a statesman who knows not
how to concede; no man is fitted to lead who re-
cognizes in his own notions the decrees of Provi-
dence. Though wholly ignorant of the science of
political economy he did not hesitate to form opi-
nions and sketch plus regarding the financial
position of the country, and he was prepared •to
follow out these as he had done his other schemes.
But the influence he had gained during the war was
at its end rapidly wasted, and the memory, of this
American statesman would have been held in
higher esteem had his life closed with the
triumph of the North. He c mid hate with a
fervent energy, but we do not know that he
could love. The beautiful cou:stry of his birth
knew him as a sullen boy, but. it knew him no
more. When his name rang over the world, on
the green hill sides of Vermont the story of his life,
though as a stranger, was often toll with pride in
his fame. Thousands visited the cottage where he
was born ; but his own foot was never again
planted on his native soil. At least, to says
rumour, and if true it is a striking fact, and
one which more than aught else illustrates the
character of THADDEUS STEVENS. WASHINGTON
ruled when ho was born, and his span embraced
every President from the great Virginian to the
little Tennesseean, the period of his life being that
of the Great Republic.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
Although confidently expected, the bald fact, as
flashed along the Cable, comes with the suddenness
of surprise. But last week this veteran politician
held a foremost place in the American political
arena. All knew that he was mortally ill, scarcely
ably to stand, scarcely able to speak, with sallow
cheek and sunken eye, this old man of unconquer-
able energy still held his place, still fiercely faced
his foes, and still turned in haughty defiance on his
friends. Those who did not see the decrepid frame,
but read the reports of Congressional proceedings,
could not realize the fact that the extreme leader of
the extreme party was tottering on the grave. It
is because TIIAD. STEVENS, more than any other
man stricken by age and sickness, has died in har-
ness—died on the floor of the House, that the
vacancy comes on us almost with a startling shock,
leaving a great place empty, before so thoroughly
filled. THADDEUS STEVENS was born near the
town of Peacham, in Caledonia County, State of
Vermont, April 4, 1793. Dotted over the green
mountain district were the rude homes of the yeo-
manry, and in one of the rudest and most isolated
this great American politician first saw the light.
His mother, who appears early to have been left hi
sole guardian and support, was a respectable, hard-
working woman, but little THAD. never knew the
joyousness of childhool. Away up the hill-side
stood the school to which he daily toiled on his
club font ; and moodily and alone went that
sullen boy ; never mixing with his fellows,
fiercely repelling their advances, and living as
lonely a life as ever fell to the lot of childhood.
He graduated at Dartmouth College, in the adjoin-
ing State of New Hampshire, and finally left his
native hills while a very young man, and, strange
to say, never to return. While in Pennsylvania,
in 1814, as a teacher in an academy, he seized the
opportunity of studying law, an 1 was admitted to
the bar in 1816. He was first elected to the State
Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1833, continuing
almost uninterruptedly till 1811, being returned
also to the Convention to revise the State Consti-
tution. Ile was appointed a Canal Commissioner
in 1838, and removed to Lancaster, a town about
sixty miles west of Phi!adelphia, where in 1848 he
was elected a State Rspresentatise to the 31st Con-
gress, returned for the 321, 36th, 37th, 38th, 39th,
and was re-elected to the present Congress, re-
ceiving 14,298 votes, against 8,673 thrown for his
Democratic opponent, Reynolds. Ile was a mem-
ber of the Baltimore Convention in 1861, and last
August the University of Vermont conferred on
him the degree of LL.D. Like most young New
Englander's of his day, when starting in life, he
traded as a pedlar, and so successfully that he even-
tuilly became one of the great manufacturers of
Pennsylvania. In LEE'S invasion a portion of that
General's troops penetretel into Pennsylvania, and
naturally the vengeance of the Confederates fell on
the property of the most bitter foe the South ever
had. STEVEN'S Alill4 were burnt down, and

The New York Journal of the Telegraph says :

the capacity of ladies for this service. The daily number

wi',h the people. Indeed, it may be said that in
the whole of Tipperary there is not a better lotted man.
Clrcurn.stauces of recent occurrence have imparted
peculiar bitterness to the feeling against Mr. Scully.
For the past three months thirty families on his estate in
the neighbourhood of Ballycoohey have had notice to
quit. As may be imagined, the prospect of so exten-
sive an eviction at a time when a very strong
feeling exists in the county upon the subject of tenant-
right aroused a powerful sense of indignation and resent.
ment against Mr. Scully. On Friday the period of notice
to quit expired, and Mr. Scully prepared to takepossession
of the land. Resistance of some sort appears to have been
anticipated, for Scully secured the services of a party of
five policemen—four sub-constables and a constable—as a
protection to himself and his bailiffs while the eviction
was being executed. Early on Friday morning Mr.
Scully, his driver, and one bailiff, so escorted, pro-
ceeded in cars to the scene of the evictions, and the
corVge was noticed with no friendly feeling as it
passed along the road. According to the information
received here the demand for possession was made and
complied with at several of the farms, but at one farm,
held by a family named Dwyer, sanguinary and desperate
resistance, quite unparalleled in its premeditation and
resoluteness, was experienced. Previous to the arrival of
the evictors the occupants of this farm deliberately closed
the dwelling-house and other premises, and, having pro.
vided themselves with firearms and ammunition, retired
to the barn, which was the strongest building of the lot,
barricaded the entrance, and prepared to dispute the pro-
cess of the law. The arrangement of the farm buildings
was that usual in Irish holdings. The various premises
formed an irregular square, inclosing a narrow space
called here the `bawn,' every part of which the barn
commanded.

identity of whom cannot be ascertained, shewed them.
selves, and sternly warned Mr. Scully off. The police
were then called on for assistance, and on the first demon-
stration made by them a deadly volley was discharged
from the windows of the barn. Two of the sub-constables,
named Gorman and Murrough, were shot dead,
and Mr. Scully received two wounds, not of a dangerous
character. The driver and bailiff escaped unhurt, as did
also the three remaining policemen. Surprised and panic.
stricken by the sudden attack, and fearing that the barn
was held by a numerous party, the survivors_beat a hasty
retreat, leaving their dead companions on the ground.
No attempt to pursue them or to inflict further injury
was made, and they regained the Limerick Junction, the
nearest station at which refuge could be had, without
further molestation. The alarming fatal occurrence
was immediately reported at all the adjoining police-
stations, and with the utmost expedition a numerous
force was despatched to the scene of the encounter.
The farmhouse was found quite deserted, its former
occupants having availed themselves of the interval
to make their escape. A close and extensive search of the
neighbourhood was at once instituted, but without, so far
as could be ascertained, revealing the smallest trace of the.
perpetrators of the outrage, and up to a late hour last
night no arrests were reported to have been made. No
definite information could be obtained from the neigh.
bouring farmers. No one seemed to know anything of the
outrage. Dogged and impenetrable reticence foiled the
investigations. of the authorities on every side. No
opinion was expressed about the matter— there was
no exultation, and no expression of regret. In con-
sequence of these difficulties there is yet no certainty
ns to who were the perpetrators of the attack—
whether they were the family threatened with eviction,
neing alone, or in combination with others, or total
strangers. The occurrence, it is hardly necessary to say,
has created • the utmost excitement and alarm in the
neighbourhood. The suspicion exists that there is more in
the event than mere individual desperation stirred up by
the terrible prospect before- the evicted peasant ; and it is

thought that the persons who committed the outrage may
have been incited to it by connection with a secret organi-
sation from whom succour and concealment may have beqn
expected ; otherwise the singular daring of the outrage,
the contempt it indicated for the law, and the stern de-
termination to oppose its execution, can hardly be
accounted for. The rapid and complete escape of the
tenants of the barn and their evasion of an extremely
active pursuit are only explicable on the same theory.
This impression has caused greater importance to be
attached to the affair than if it were treated as an isolated
individual outrage, and a corresponding amount of
vigilance and activity is being exhibited by the autho-
rities. A large police force has been concentrated in the
neighbourhood, and frequent and numerous searches
are prosecuted in every place where either a trace of
the criminals or of any other compromising matters
are suspected to be concealed. The vigilance extends
to the junction, which is under close surveillance, and
last night every railway passenger was subjected to a per-
sonal search. Mr. Scully has been conveyed to his own
residence near Dundrum, where be is under surgical
treatment. An inquest will be held to-day on the bodies
of the two unhappy policemen."
Another correspondent gives the following version of the
affair :—" Mr. Scully left Limerick Junction railway

station on Friday morning, with. Gorman, Lis steward,
and Maher, a herd, escorted by Constables Maher, Kelly,

Cleary, Collison, Cahill, and Murrough. The party walked
down the line to the Ice House, and then took the fields
to cross to Ballycoohey, when some signals were given,

and a crowd numbering 100 or Iro persons assembled
on all sides. Mr. Scully, armed with a double-barrelled
breech-loader and a revolver, went with his steward and
herd from house to house to serve notices, the people mean-
while shouting out that they would have his life, and calling
him `robber' and murderer.' After he had lunched,
the police advised him to return. He consented to do so
but on the way back he resolved to visit the house of a

!pant named Dwyer. A by-road leads to a quadrangular

'arm-yard, on one side of which is Dwyer's house. At

right angles to the house, and facing the entrance, are
out-offices, and on the other sides arc hedges. All seemed
deserted. Mr. Scully, Gorman, and Maher first entered,
the constables remaining at the end of the by-road to keep
back the crowd. Two shots were immediately fired from
the dwelling-house, and a third, which killed Gorman,
from a rude porthole made in one of tha out offices. The

shots fired at Mr. Scully came from a loft over a
kitchen, where a feather-bed had been placed. Ito
received three wounds in the head, one ball passing
through his throat. Having tottered back to the lane,
he fired a revolver at the house. Cleary, calling on his

men, entered the enclosure intl. went into the kitchen,
which was empty, the party having escaped through a bole
in the thatch. Collison, finding Maher lying wounded,

stopped to lift him, and was shot from an outhouse in the
back of the head. Murrough was afterwards found dead in
an angle of the building. Ho was riddled with bullets, one
having passed through the heart. Kelly was wounded in
the thigh. Mr. Scully, having entered the house and taken
from his steward some papers and a revolver, made
his way to the house of Mr. Bolton, Lord Derby's agent,
who sheltered him until he was escorted home to Ballina-
dough. From twelve to eighteen shots were fired. On
searching the buildings the police found a blunderbuss
burst, a five-barrelled revolver with two chambers dis.
charged, bullets, cartridges, and a brandy bottle half
full."

Further news is to the effect that eight persons were
arrested in the locality of the outrage, and lodged in Tip•

nerary gaol.

l'he inquest on the policemen killed at Ballycoohcy was
held on Saturday. Constable Cleary described the affray
as having teen brought on by Mr. Scully's persisting in
service of notices after being advised by the police to
desist. The jury found an open verdict, adding that tin
conduct of Mr. Scully towards the tenantry of Bally.
ceohey was much to be deprecated, and that the sooncx
legislative enactments were passed to put a stop to such
;proceedings the better for the peace and welfare of the
country. Unqualified disapproval of the dealings of Mr.
