Thad stevens Programme

THAD STEVENS has been renominated
fer Congress and, as his District is
strongly Republican and his election is
at least probable, it may interest the
people to know what is the programme
he proposes to carry out. Here 1t Is:
1.-The destruction of the State gov.
erpments recognized by the Executive
2-The treatment of the Southern
States as conquered provinces
4-The contiScation of the property OF
the people of that section.
4-Tbe perfect equality of the negro,
established and maintained through the
interference of Congress.
The proposed constitutional amend
mepts are treated by STEVENS as a
mere sham, intended simply ito strength
en- the Republican party in the fall cleo
tions" and give the radicals power to
carry out the real design which is stated
above. They have no desire for the
restoration of the Union, no intention
that it shall be restored so long as they
retain power to prevent 1t. They would
not consent TO the restoration Of the
Union if every one of the Southern
States should ratify the proposed con,
stitutional amendment without dis
senting voice. The real programme
that will be pursued by the radicals
is that which STEVENS proclaims. His
ability to coerce his party into yielding
implicit obedience TO his behests has
been already manifested, and if the peo-
pie would save the country from the mis-.
cries which the accomplishment of these
designswould bring, they must elect men
to congress who are pledged to oppose
THAD STEVENS and his Infamous
schemes. Neither Of the radical nom
inees in West Virginia can be trusted
to vote against the plan that STEVENS
has marked out.

Dr. Tying Supports the President

The radicals have. not yet recovered
from the confusion into which they were
thrown by HENRY WARD BEECHER's
mastery vindicatio of the principles
for which the President and his support
ers are contendiDg, and now another EN-
nent divine who has heretofore stood
high in the estimation of the Republican
party casts another bombShelI int the
ranks. Rev. STEPHEN H. Tying has
been one of the ablest and most earnest
opponents of slavery in the nation and
has been looked upon by the Republi-
cans as giving his full endorsement 10
their present course. The following
letter will show very Clearly where he
stands in relation to the questions that
now agitate the public mind. He had
been invited to act as chaplain to the
conservative soldiers and sailors con.
vention to be held at Cleveland on the
18th inst. and responds as follows:

Weight of People.

We read in Al the Year Round what
is the average weight of man! At
what age docs he attain his greatest
weight? How much heavier are men
than women? What would be tho
weight of fat people, and what of very
fat people! NJ Quetelet, Of Brussels,
some years ago, deemed such questions
quite within the scope OF his extensive
series Of researches on man. He got
hold of everybody he could, every
where, and weighed them all. lie
weighed the babies, he weighed the
boys and girls, he weighed the youths
and maidcns, he weighed men and wO-
men, he weighed Collegians, soldiers,
factory people, pensioners-and as he
had no particular theory to disturb his
facts, he honestly SET down such results
as he met with. All the infants in the
Founding Hospital at Brussels for a
considerable period were weighed and
the results were compared with others
obtained from similar establishments III
Moscow and Paris The average re-
turns show that a citizen of the world,
on the first day of his appearance in
public, weighs about six pounds and a
half-a boy baby little more, girl
baby little less. Some very modest
babies hardly turned the scale with two
pounds and half, while other preten-
tious youngsters boast of eleven pounds
M. Quctelet grouped his thousands o.
people according to ages, and found
that the young men of twenty averaged
one hundred and forty-threo pounds
each, while the young women of TWEEN.
ty have an average OF one hundred and
twenty nine pounds, His men reached
their heaviest bulk at thirty-fve, wher
their average weight was one hundred
and ffty-two pounds, but the womcI
slowly fattened OH until fifty, wheI
