A spondeui of the Constitution
ahst, writing from Washington, says
Mr. Stephens is here and IS the " OBJ
served Of all observers He is received
here with great consideration. The most
prominent public men of both parties
have called to see him. The Secretary
Of State, members of both Houses,
and General Grant, visited him to-day.
Mr.. Stephens is regarded rs one Of the
most sagacious of the public men of the
South His moderation before secession,
and his effort toward the close TO build
up the peace party North, so as to per
nit the South TO end the controversy on
the best terms possible, consistent with
a reunion, are referred to as evidences
of his superior sagaciiy Mr. Stephens
had an interview with the President to-
day. 1t is considered by the Conserva-
tives n very fortunate thing that Mr.
Stephens is here The South need their
best intellect here at this time, 10 aid in
advising the policy TO be pursuedto over
come the difficulties in the way of the
complete restoration Of the Union.

A French View of American Politics

In the French Corps Legislatif debate
lately sprung up on an address to the
Emperor demanding additional liberties
for the press and people of France. In
the course of it the Baron Jerome David
thus introduced certain late events in the
history of the United States
He (the speaker thought it doubtful
whether the improvements demanded
were in accordance with the ideas OF pub
| lie opinion. That opinion was not in
deed insensible to the extension of politi-
cal liberties; it rejoiced TO possess the
source of all free institutions, universal
suffrage, and it could hardly desire to see
the government laying aside alrits means
of defense before parties had renounced
their hopes and aspirations Those par
ties were attracted toward each other not
by any love of liberty, but by common
rancor which urged them on to acommon
| object, namely, TO weaken the Imperial
Government And il they could succeed
in overthrowing it, they themselves would
soon be tearing each other to pieces over
the blood-stained ruins of their country.
Applause.
The honorable member went on to
criticise the conduct of the minority and
to argue that it had no right 10 say,
am public opinion. 1t was, and would
always remain, the minority and nothing
else In no country but France would
such language be permitted Ii would
be well to remember how minorities had
been treated in the United States. By
the election Of President Lincoln the
Abolitionist majority was victorious, and
the slaveholdiDg minority vanquished
Then a member of the latter declared
that there was an abyss deeper than hell
between the North aud the South. How
did the Executive reply ? " In free
country" it said, III is not permitted to
minority to raise its voice against the
majority, against the fundamental pact,
without being factious, We shall, there
fore, treat you as "a factious party.
Then, after long and murderous war,
the same minority was conquered, and
now the citizens Of the South are not
allowed to discuss their internal regime,
nor even to sit as deputies in Congress.
In point of fact no government could
long exist If II was to have its origin,
its essence, and its fundamental princi-
Piles daily called in question. 1t would
inevitable lose its prestige and power by
the continuance of such attacks, Doubt
less no comparison could be instituted
between the French minority and the
American; but honorable gentlemen
would perceive that even in countries
the most enamored of liberty, govern
ments suppressed il the moment they
felt themselves directly mensced The
war in the United States ended year
ago Noise

This depends on whom they have for op-

party cast aal5 81 yotes, and In 1866 the rad
aeol Republicans poIled SOS s,aa2:7 votes, and
elected eighteen ont Of ftwcntv-four members
Of Congress. Thus It is seen that the Radical
majority Of 1860 Is 3, 900 greater than tho ma

THE 0TONE - OF TIE CATTLE
MARKET.

Our readers will remember that the Live
Stock ''Ring," In their recently published
circular, alleged that the Newspaper report
e1s were unable to make correct reports of
the cattle market, and that they {the ''Ring')
proposed 10 furnish the reporters hereafter
"thc best and fullest information in their
"powcr relative to the state Of the market
from day to day. This they proposed to
do iusteaa cf furnishing the reporters the &C.
tual sales 1t the yard. In other words, they
would give the tone Of the market, but not
tho market Itself Accordingly our reporter
called upon number Of the aigncss OF tho
circular on Friday last to get ''thc fullest
and best information in their power," with
the following result:
