Henry Ward Beecner on tne SltuaCOns
From the Times.
course of lectures is in progress in Brooklyn,
in which Carl Schurz, Wendell Phillips, and
Henry Ward Bcecher have spoken on the aspect
of national affairs. Mr.. Schurz contented him
self with an essay on political economy in gene
raj, devotlng himself to the culture of Mr..
johnson in the colored classics in particular,
while Mr.. Phillips, in his bland and oleaginous
manner, damned the Administration and classed
the President with Burr, Arnold, and poor old
JEFF. To an audience OF his fellow-to wnsmen,
larger by far than those which assembled to hear
his predecessors. Mr.. Beecher spoke on Tuesday
night for an hour and half in manner as telict-
tous as his matter. Standing squarely on the rock
of universal liberty of equal rights TO all man
kind he remembered that there we're two sides
to e.ery question, and suggested in bis pecu-
liarly humorous way that The ultra friends of
the negro were so very near him that they failed
to see him in his proper light, and that in their
eagerness to do him benefit they were, by in
iurlng everybody about him, doing HIM an essen
tial injury.
without entering upon discussion Of the pro-
visions of the Freedmen's Bureau bill, he sus-
tanned the Presidents action, saying that his
veto had produced upon his mind strong and
deep impression. His eulogy Of the President
his tribute to his personal and official purity and
honesty, we're eminently gratifying to an
audience which week before had been insulted
in the person of their Chief Magistrate, and his
argument IN iavor OF the immediate admission
of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, was re-
ceived with storm OF applause, equalled only
by the burst Of laughter which greeted his rea-
son for leaving South Carolina out in the cold.
We regret that we cannot reproduce the address
entire. II was full of point, pith, and fire, and
will produce sensation throughout the country
second TO no one thing that has fallen from his
lips before. His fliends and those of Governor
Parsons, of Alabama, will be pleased to note that
he denies point blank the statement made by Mr..
Phillips in regard to the reception awarded
Governor Parsons and his proposition for loan

Mr.. Stevens and Tennessee.
From tho Times.

From the Itnle6.
To some other weaknesses, Mr.. Stevens now
adds mdiscretion. So long as he refused admis-
sion TO Tennessee, in common with other States
on the ground that its rights had been forfeited
by rebellion, there was an appearance of princi-
pie in the refusal. We might not accept it, but
at least we were inclined to respect it, All this
is changed, however. Mr.. Stevens now ayows
that Tennessee shall be excluded, not on the
score of principle, but by way Of punishment.
The distinguished Tennesseean who occupies
the Presidential chair, has dared to utter his
convictions clearly and courteously, but firmly,
and Mr.. Stevens, with pretense OF liberty on
his tongue, and pretense OF conscientiousness
in his conduct, threatens to visit his wrath, not
upon the President, but upon the State TO which
the President belongs.
We call this an indscretion on Mr.. Stevens
part. 1t leaves him no principle to talk about.
1t exposes him as tactonist.
Ii Tennessee was entitled TO favorable consi.
deration on Monday, as Mr. Stevens admits, Ten.
nessee IS equally entitled to favorable consider.
alton to-day, whether Mr.. Stevens loves the
President or not. Aud to talk OF disregardne
the claims of Tennessee because President John
son vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau BILL is to
show an obliquity OF moral vision not exactly
in harmony with the character of great re
former.

1he Fenian Regiment in Want of New
Clothes.

From the Times.
We understand that the 99th Regiment New
York National Guard, Colonel John O'Mahony
commanding, have made application to the
Inspector-General's Department for the neces-
sary certificate to enable them to make requisi-
ton on the Quartermasters Department for new
uniforms. During the summer of last year nu-
merous Fenian celebrations were held in and
around this city, and on each occasion the
grounds were kept clear by companies from this
99th National Guard, who appeared In the uni
form furnished them by the State, and who car
rled arms drawn from our State arsenals. In
one instance we were cognlZant of q company
from this "Fenian Regiment" as they are popu-
larlY styled among certain class, doing guard
duty at Fenian celebration held at Elizabeth,
N j. The fact Of Fenlan guard, drawn from
the ranks OF the 99th, doing military duty at the
portals of the "Fenian Congress-" so called, was
animadverted upon in these columns, and we
find III the recent report of the Inspector-Gene-
raj official comment upon this outrageous pro-
CeedlDg:-
"The improper use of these uniforms is even fre-
quently allowed by the officers an example of which
several branches of the Fenian Government in this
city have been guarded by persons clad IN the
National GuaId uniform It has been observed that
very many OF the members are possessed OF loose
ideas in regard to public property; they consider
their uniforms as gratuitous GIFTS at their own un-
controlled disposal and If recklessly injured or lost
they argue the state is right"
These fellows now ask the State Of New York
TO buy new breeches for their precious limbs,
and put them in passable condition to guard the
doors Of some Union-square Estate Department.
They ought to have the clothes and the arms
now in their possession stripped from them, and
be ignominiously dismissed from military SER
vice.
Great Britain has done us grievous wrong; we
have abundant cause OF complaints but we can
never be so far wronged as to initiate her base
example, and 10 permit upon our soil the organi-
cations of expeditions aimed at her safety.
These Fenians are as harmless as Nick Bottom
in their roar; yet If they are 10 below in our
uniform, and get arms from our arsenals 10 keep
the vulgar American mob away from the doors
OF their State Departments" we should not be
surprised if the idea got abroad that we winked
at If we did not directly encourage their illegal
organizations. II they want new uniforms they

The officers of the United States forces sta
toned in Virginia recently gave ball in Rich
mond, and invited the attendance of many Vir
gnia ladies. Some saw lit to attend, Others TO
stay away, as it was their perfect right to do.
The Richmond Examiner had an account of this
ball which held up every lady thus attending to
scorn and loathing, as recreant to the memory
of her dead kindred, false to her native State,
and callous to every noble impulse more

Kentucky.
From the Tribune.


The Rebel army tried repeatedly to take
Kentucky during the war, but failed. Since the
war stopped, they have tried again, and sue
ceeded. Twenty thousand paroled prisoners
from Lees, Johnston's, and Hoods armies are
now the arbi' ers of the State, which has become
more heartily Rebel than South Carolina.
Thus, elections were recently held in the dis
tricts nearest Cincinnati for Senators, and the
candidates supported by the Rebels succeeded
IN each. The Union vote was as large as ever be-
tore, but the Copperhead, sWelled by the re-
turned Rebels, overbalanced it. South Carolina
has ratified the Constitutional amendment; Ken
lucky repeatedly and contemptuously rejects it,
The State will never again give so heavy pro-
slavery majority as she gave Mcclellan; but she
will probably give twenty thousand majority
next year, and consgn her negroes to virtual
slavery by acts of her next Legislature. She
has not been whipped; South Carolina has, and
by SO much the better for it. Kentucky badly
needs reconstruction.

Now, as the Examiner made boast that the
report had sold its entire edition, and that copies
could no longer be furnished, we must think
that its conceptions of veracty seem about on a
par with It's notions OF fun. The fun eyinced In
the ball report Is exactly that which battered
Major Anderson out OF Fort Sumter-"only that,

It need not be added that the Examiner is q

Opening of PARLIAMENT.

From The Tribune.
We gave in our paper of yesterday the
Queens Speech, with the reading Of which the
English Parliament was formally opened on
February 6. As is usual with both the English
and French documents of this class, the ad-
dress was entirely non-committal on nearly
all great questions. Its reference to American
affairs is very BRIEF .and little less reserved
than the corresponding passages IN the speech
OF the French Emperor, as will be seen from
the following comparison:

The English address, it will be observed, is at
least outspoken on one pont-the abolition of
slavery-whIle the French reference to this
event is as studiously cold and indifferent as all
the remainder.
The great battle-ground between the two par
ties, during the session, will be the Reform bill,

the last as the chief wedge to be used by them

Radical Mistake.

As a party the Radicals have exhibi
ted as much want of foresight as lack
Of patriotism.
They have always been hostile to the
union ofthe States. They have always
made war upon the Constitution of the
United States, calling it a covenant
with he'll. They have always hated the
South with the malignity ofticnds.
When such a party came into power
the South, REASONABLY enough, conclu.
ded that she WAS not wanted in the
Union, and trie1 to get out of it.
The mistake ofthe Radicals as a par.
~ consists in their not having permit
ted the South to leave the Union in
peace. They now see their folly, and
are bitterly repenting it, and they would
to-day fight to prevent the South re-
turning to the Union.
But. it may be asked, why did they
assist in the war of restoration. The
answer is assuredly not that they want
ed the Union restored, hut it was be.
cause they hated the South, and saw
the opportunity Of venting that hatred
by murder and robbery.
They now see the handwriting on
the wall-if the South returns to the
Union Radical supremacy is at an end
--herce the insane madness that char
actcriAcs all their actions of late.
If they had been q national party,
and had, at the close of the war, met
the South in u spirit Of becoming mag.
nanimity, they might have made friends
in the South. Fortunately for the
country, they failed to avail themselves
of the opportunity, aad the South, as
aunt, will now ally herself to those
whom she knows to be the friends of,
the Union and tie Constitution.
If the States shall all ev,r again re
sumo their place in the Federal family,
the peace Of the family will require that
the Federal head shall faithfully defend
the constitutional rights of each mem,

tons of these fanatical Radical disor-
ganizers, who are the hanc Of the Re-.

Alexander H. Stephens has written
a letter to Montgomery Blair, indoors
ing the call for the Philadelphia Con
vcntion, and announcing his intention
to attend it. He says, individually,
"my whole soul is enlisted in the canse
of Il speedy and full restoration of the
Government under the Constitution as
it now stands
lie also says he did in 1850 all in his
power to avert a conflict Of arms, and
that, too, while many ofthosc so clam
rot for what they call the Union
cause were giving encouragement, at
least, to the extremists Of the South, by
clearly and decidedly intimating, if not
fully expressing, a perfect willingness
on their part that the Union might slide
if the people Of the South so willed it.
He concludes by saying that if the
Union shall be restored under the Con.
stitution, it is his fixed purpose to re-
tire from all connection with public af-
fairs, so that, though it may appear he
is governed by self interests in working
for restoration, inasmuch as he has
been chosen United States Senator,
still, he will not hold that position
long. d 81 500. ri

The AUTHORSHIP of Junius.-Among
the many singular revelations made
during the recent trial of the royal
scandal case in London is one which.
if it be true, clears up the long dispu-
ted point as to the authorship of the
letters of Junius. They were written
by DR.. Wilmot. his granddaughter as.
scrts, to obtain redress from GEORGE
III. who, writhing under their sharp
lash, was induced to sign certain Ger.
tificates testifying to the marriage of
Olive Wilmot and the birth of her
child. The youthful Olive made the
discovery accidentally, when she was
but fourteen years old. She Glanced
to take from her grandfather's library
some loose sheets of old manuscripts
to scribble and draw upon, and they
we're found to be some Of the letters of
Junius.
