THE LAST OF THAD SrEvENs.-The famous
index finger which Thad Stevens was wont to
use with such effect upon his followers in the
House appears to have been paralyzed yester-
day when the joint resolution on the admission
OF Representatives from Tennessee was on its
passage. He fought hard against the resolu-
tion, but he appeared to have lost all his
former influence. He wagged his finger in
vain, and finally discovering that the vote was
going largely in favor Of Tennessee, he voted
"aye" himself, amidst the laughter and jcers
of the House. Has the sceptre fallen from the
hands Of the great radica. Leader, 1t looks ss

Of all the late rebel States 70 their full political
rights. or course the bill, with the various
amendments which were added by other men,

once renewed his unconstitutional resolution
Of the previous day, giving the presiding off,
GERS Of both houses the right to convene
Congress during the recess. Thad Stevens Is
evidently desperate at the turn affairs have
taken, finding that he can neither "serve in

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
These are the principal allies of Aus
tra among the minor German States.
They will probably continue faithful to
her as long as the fortunes Of war are
on her side, but not longer. In the last
great European war, they allied to the
Emperor Napoleon, (whO raised them
from principalities to kingdoms) until
the hour of his reverses came, and then
they deserted him for stronger ALI,
ance.
On the great battlefield Of Leipsic
fought in October, 1918, 5000 Saxor
troops, who were intrusted with an i'm
portant position on the French side
went over to the Allies in the heat o
the engagement. giving to those they
had left the benefits ftheir guns as the,
passed over. This act of most unpar
alleled treachery greatly increased tn,
defeat ofthe French, and obliged then
to retire from Germany.
This battle Of Leipsic is distinguish.
ed as the one in which the greatest mum
ber af combatants were engaged tha
is recorded in modern history. 1t is
known as the battle of the nations. The
allies-Russia, Prussia, Austria, Ger
MANY and Sweden-brought into tht
field 29O,O 900 men. The French anc
| Italians were l75,0O0 strong making
nearly 500, 5000 soldiers in all.
Bavaria was faithful to France until
she retreated from Germany, when she
passed over quickly to the other side.
Retiring from Leipsic with the wreck
of his army to France, Napoleon found
the day barred against him by the Ba-
varian forces, posted in very strong
positions on the principal roads. II

j. p. BENJAMN.--We have had the
pleasure Of reading letter from an
old fellow citizen and once distinguish.
ed member Of our bar, j. p. Benjamin,
to Il relative in this city, in which he re-
fers in very cheerful spirit to the cir.
cumstances of his admission to the bar
of England. He was called to the bar
by the benches of LincOlns Inn, and
as special favor, dispensed from the
several long terms of reading and study
which represented, and with very
rare exceptions, demanded Of all candi
dates for the wig and gown under the
ancient rules of the courts of Great
Britain. J
Mr. Benjamin's position at the bar
is that of a barristcr His duties relate
only to the conduct and argument Of
suits which are placed in his hands by
attorneys. He only knows such clients
as are brought to him by attorneys.
He can receive no business directly
from suitors or claimants, but it must
all come to him through attorneys He
cannot even hold an interview with
clients exceptin the presence of the at
torneys. The latter get up the cases,
make up the briefs and prepare the tes-
timony, and then hand the brief over
to the barrister whom they may select
accompanying the same always with a
suitable retainer All that the barris-
ter can do when applied to directly by
parties having suits, is to refer them to
an attorney. We give this. statement
of the nature of Mr.. Benjamin's pro
fessional position for the guidance Of
those who may desire to employ his

try. This would effectually break up all the
rival schemes of Santa Anna, Ortega Juarea
and Others. But how Is it to be done! We
think 1t can be done by the United States hav-
ing an understanding with the Emperor Napo-
leon on the subject. Napoleon only wants to
get out Of the difficulty as gracefully as posi-
BILE and to secure the debt of Mexico to
France. The United States wants the republic
restored in peace and on proper foundation.
Very well; the proper way to accomplish these
ends Is for M. Montholon, the French Minister
at Washington, and Mr.. Seward to agree upon
plan by which fair election shall be
held and q constitutional native government
be established in Mexico, with the understand
ing that the old French debt shall be paid.
This would be the proper and a speedy solu-
ton Of the Mexican muddle. France would
get out Of her trouble in an easy manner, we
should maintain our position as to the Monroe
doctrine and the Intervention, and Mexico
would be saved from the horrors of o con-
tinued civil war which her rival chiefs are pre-
pairing for her. We urge upon the French
Minister, M. Montholon, to see Mr.. Seward at
once upon this subject. Let negotiations be
opened without delay, and we have no doubt
the people Of this country, the Emperor Napo-
leon and the people Of Mexico would gladly
accept such . reasonable solution of the
troublesome question. III.
