WASHINGTON, April 10.
Hon. ThRddeus Stevens-HIs Views on
Universal Suffrage.
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens is getting stronger.
ana m [ecelVes calls, but is not out of his room
james M ScoVel, of New Jersey, spent an hour
with MIN yesterday. Mr.. Stevens warmly np-
proves the movement for equal suffrage In New
jersey, and has written a letter, in which he
says, New Jersey will disgrace her sister re-
publics u she leaves the word white In her
United States Senators, and Seoretarv SewSrd
have called on the Great Commoner this week
The Southern States BocOminR Radical
Pioneers.
General Grant said in conversation recentIv
that South Carolina and other late Rebel States
are bent on forcing negro suffrage on New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, aud other hesitatinp
free States. II is thought they will accent the
coming situation, without being forced by the
South to do 1t.
Senator Sumner has written'a letter. giving
his views that the discriminating word "white"
should be at once expunged from all the State
Constitutions.
The Spanish and Spanish American In-
ternRItOnal Convention.
No steps have been taken towards the inter.
national convention between spain, Chill, and
Peru which was to have been held at this city,
the two latter powers not yet having met the
advance of the Spanish Government in this
respect. Senior Goni, however, the new Spanish
Minister, is in daily expectation of news which
will warrant the three powers, either by their
PlenlpOteQ tiareis or by special commissioners
to avail of the arbitration of the United states.
mRXtm1l1an again IN meAlcO OiSH-He
is Reported Wounded at the Battle of
QueretarOs
A gentleman who arrived by the steamer
Eagle, from Havana, and left the CITY of Mex
leo on the SJh instant, informs the Mexican
Legation that MaXimilian was at that time
en- route from Queretaro for Mexico, accompa-
MED by about three thousand troops. He was
wounded in the right arm by q spent ball
IN the fight at Queretaro, and narrowly
escaped capture in one of the mountain passes.
The capture Of Pueolapey the Liberals was not
generally believed in Vera Cruz, but duly cele-
nrated by the Liberal forces outside the city
The Imperialists regarded the report as rtSe
of the enemy. The stage routes between the
capital and Vera Cruz are entirely cut of, and
IL is with the greatest difficulty that any con-
veyance through can be obtained, the roads
being infested with Independent maraudtng
PARTIES and rooher bands claiming no connec.
tion with the regular republican forces.
IntercessiOn In Favor of MaXlmIlIan.
The manner and style of the recent appeal
made to the State Department by the Austrian
Minister for intercession with Juarez for the
safety of MaXimiliap, are egenerally dislll1ed by
Austrians in this city and elsewhere in the
cause of their prince in Mexico. II Is
alleged that the application was intended
as a Joint appeal of European Governments
10 prevent, If possible, the continued massacre
of prisoners of war-such as that at ZacaJecaS-
and that the United States being the only
power maintaining diplomatic relations with
ihe JuareZ Government, the appeal was made
through our state Department, the Austrian
Legation having been selected as the mos
appropriate medium. The special lntercessi or
IN favor of MaXimllian was not the origina
intention.
