A DEAD SHoT.-The last California
mail brings the particulars of the following
remarkable story:
A stage coach was overhauled by high
waymen, on lonely roal in Nevada county,
between Marysvile and DowHieville, at
four O'Clock on the morning of May lst,
aud robbed of $4,000 belonging to Wells,
Fargo IL Co. Within few hours there
after the sherid's pose was started out IN
different directions, and Steve Nenart
struck what proved to be the right trail up
Yuba liver. He followed his lionel y and
difficult road alone, into rocky ravlne
three miles from human habitation, and
saw at some distance above him, partially
concealed by rocks, a man counting over
money. The man saw him, and Steve
thought the time of one of them had come,
for the robber was already taking aim
when Nenart fired. Instantly another rob-
Der appeared, but took shelter to fire, and
when Steve saw the root of this mans hair
he seut him the contents of his second bar
rel, and, having loaded anew, ran forward
to secure the booty before others Of the
robber band should appear, confident that
two of them were done for. He had al
ready got the money bags when third
robber showed himself, still higher up the
ravine, and Steve now fired his third shot,
which not taking fatal effect, fourth was
fired and dead mans body rolled down
among the rocks. Steve Venart brought
the news of bis adventure and the $4,000
into Nevada City at 2 o'clock in the same
afternoon Of the robbery, and soon after the
three dead bodies were brought in-the
first shot through the heart, the second
through the right eye and the third thro'
The body and head; the first and second
were found cIinching their cooked pistols.
Wells, Fargo d Co, promptly awarded
Steve $4,000, and at last accounts Steve
and his rifle were lionizing in central Cali
fornia. Il

A Pen Picture OF Thaddeus stevens.

Thaddeus Stevens is Just coming IN from
his committee-room, aud looks so feeble,
the great old man, it makes me sorry. The
men abroad who assaiI him with such fer
ocity, if they could see him now, would be
quite disarmed. His spirit is not bated, his
sarcasm cuts as keenIy as ever, his wit flashes
as brightly, his great intellect seems in no
wise dimmed; yet the hand of Time lies
heavy upon him. The will which never
sweryes, which always conquers and rules
men, is poweress to resist the pressure of
pain and the inirmity Of age. Although
no casual observer would think it, Thaddeus
S.evens is over seventy years of AGE. A
conely wig robs him Of his hoary crown
which always haIlOws the head Of age His
face in outline approaches the Indian Type.
The square, perceptive brow, the deeply
set eyes, the high cheek-bones, the broad
jaw and saturnine mouth are most marked.
The face in repose is stern, but not savage.
The "sardone smile" that we read so much
about is very human and kindly smile,
after all. ThaddcuS Stevens inimitable
sarcasm and wit seem purely intellectual
gifts, flames Of the head, free from all smoke
of personal malice. He will say the most
savage things Of a mans acts or opinions,
without one emotion of i'll will toward the
man. He will annihiate member in a
speech, and then, clapping him on the
shonlder, ask the discomftted brother to 90
with him to Lunch. You hear of his many
kindly deeds from those who know him
best; Of the gentle charities which blossom
along his private path, Of the many poor
boys whom he has lifted from poverty and
obsourity te give item help and motive
i'll life, For many years he has been pow
er in the nation, leader in tile House,
marshaling in the van the hosts Of liberty
/ No man is more eagerly listened to. Nc
man perhaps would be SO positively missed
if he were to pass forever from the Con
gressional Hall. lie has stood here so long
his intellect is so powerful, his personality
so positive, his utterances so unique, his
spirit SO masterfuI, his memory will not
pass away with his presence, nor his name
with his generation.
He is one whose sayings will live long
after him. His jeweIed witticiSms will be
set in many a speech, and CLEAN in many
a Congress, when the brain which gave
them birth has gone back to dust. But
the old lion of the House is fighting his last
battles. One who has fought so long and
SO bravely does not like to confess that he
is at last worsted by Time-that even he
has found a conqueror. To have lived il
the world, to have been with it, and of il
so long, to love it only to leave it, how hard
To heart broken by its own burdens
death comes a healing and consolation
but to a man who has sought to find the
satisfaction Of life in public spheres, whose
activities have been expended on the issues
of the age, while the grand problems Of his
time remain unsolved, and the cast victories
of the future yet unconsummated-to him
death is as unwelcome as it is irremediable
Such man has no time to die.-NeU
York Independent.

p A WORD ABOUT II PRESIDENT. p
MEssRs. LANDS Since my last let.
ter, Radical stock in ANDREW JOHNSON
appears not only to have "gono up" but
t, be exiting" A few days since, Sena-
tor WiLLET (Democrdt), moved to take
from the table the resolutions reported
weeks ago, by the Committee on Federal
Relati ons, indorsing the President and
Congress the motion was negatived
ION voting for it but the Democrats anil
two Republicans. | think there will be
no resurrection for these resolutions, for
as "small' as they indorse Mr.. JOHNSON,
ie dragged from their interment, they
would crate upon Radical ears as harshly
as Gabricl's trumpet.
Immediately after this vote, the news
of. the Presidential vote Of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill came like a political
earthquake. The Democrats met 10 eau
Gus, .nd in resolutions Endorsed the mes
sage and expressed thanks to the Prcsi
dent for his patriotic exercise Of the veto
power. The Republicans caucased, and
in resolutions Endorsed Congress as Their
Representative body, and didn't express
any thanks to JOHNSON. Then began
the whipping into party traces among
the Republicans, more particularly BY
getting up party feeling and contests
The Democrats offered their resolutions
for adoption in the Legislature. In thu
Senate, tho resolutions we're referred BY
the Radical majority to the Committee
on Federal Relations; whence their sec
ond advent will Niong be awaited in yair
by their admiring friends, In the Hous,
Of Representatives. their reception wa
equally inhospitable. The Radicals pu
in and passed a substitute and amend
ment fer them, as identical with the orig
inals, by perversiOu, as black is will

vious they really didn't thank The FIRES
ident for his veto!l Under the embar

Mr.. Thornhill (Democrat) introduced
a resolution requesting Congress to grant
160 acres of tho public lands, or its equiv.
alept in money, to each Union soldier of
the late civil war. The Republican ma.
jority substituted for "public lands'
"Confscated lands of Southern rebels"
well knowing that there are no confs Gated
lands, and will be uone ; but if ~perchanoc,
there should be, the quantities would be
insufficient, and only confscated during
the lives Of former owners, and then re-
verting to their heirs, The offer Of such
q bogus compensation, when a sure thing
was proposed, is a hollow compliment to
a brave and high minded soldier,
Mr.. Chase (Rep J has introduced a bill
repeating the law exempting the proper
ty Of persons in the military service from
execution.
Mr.. Rhodes (Rep.) has introduced Q
bill repeating the Soldiers Voting Law
