Thad Stevens, Simon Cameron and Governor
Genry ON the Political Situation.

Thad Stevens, simon Cameron and Governor
Geary ON the Political Situation.
We published yesterday the remarks Of
three prominent public men on the political
issues Of the day. All three were Pennsyl-
vanians, and they spoke on different and i'm
portant public occasions. Stevens spoke In
the House OF Representatives on the bill to
admit Nebraska, on which the broad question
Of what constitutes republican form of gov
eminent was discussed. Cameron made an
address at Harrisburg, on being elected United
States Senator, and Governor Geary, on taking
his office, delivered his inaugural speech. There
was q remarkable unanimity in the views ex-
pressed and tone of these addresses. All were
decided in requiring constitutional guarantees
before the rebel States should be received
back to full participation in the govern
ment. All maintained that there could be no
true republican government wherc large
portion Of the inhabitants (meaning the negroes
Of the South) are excluded from the suffrage
II is clear, then, that the leading men Of Penn
sylvania are in accord on the questions q, the
constitutional amendment, the reorganization
Of the Southern States and on giving the suf.
fragc to the negroes. We have no doubt they
express the views also Of the statesmen and
people Of the other loyal States.
General Cameron made . characteristic
speech n returning thanks for the honor Of
5cihg chosen United States Senator. He said
he should not forget his friends and would for
give his enemies. II Is known that he has
always boon true to his friends, and we believe
he will continue to be 80. But has he not de-
generated from the naughty and stern charac-
ter Of his ancestors, the Camerons Of Lochiel,
when he-says he will forgive his enemies II
is said Of one Of them that when he was con-
Tossing to the priest on his dying bed, and was
told that he must forgive all his enemies before
he could be waited 10 heaven, he replied that
he would forgive all but one, whom he named,
one particular enemy who lived over the noun
tain. The priest being memorable in enforcing
this necessary condition to salvation, and the
old Highlander perceiving he could not get
over it, at last consented to be forgiving him.
SELF but at the same time exclaimed with an
oath that his son should never forgive.

The EXCISE Law AND THE LIQUOR DsALERs.-
1t il rumored that the Liquor Dealers Assoeia-
ton have resolved to send half million Of dol
lars to Albany to secure the repeal of the
Metropolitan District Excise law, which has
just been declared constitutional by the Court
of Appeals. We have no doubt that this argu-
ment will prove eflcacious with our Legislators.
They ought also to send one hundred bottles
of old proof Bourbon to each member, and
especially TO those who profess to be tenn
pcrance men. The law is faulty In many
respects, and with or without these considera-
tions, should either be materially modified or
Internationally repealed.

Tho difficulties between President Wander
bilt, Of the Hudson River and Harlem rail-
roads, and the new directors Of the New York
Central have resulted in an open war, which,
from the characteristics of the men engaged in
II, promises to be carried on with unusual bit
terness. The announcement Is made that the
Hudson River Railroad Company will, after
to-day. only sell tickets and check baggage
over their own road, and will only recognize
tickets sold ut their own Offices and by their
own agents The meaning Of this Is that
persons travelling West over the New York
Central road will be carried only to East
Albany by the Hudson River Company, and
will there be compelled to change cars and
have their baggage rechecked to their destina-
tons. The same rule extends to freight shipped
over the road. President Vanderbilt puts the
termination Of previously existing arrange
ments between the connecting roads upon the
directors of the New York Central, while they,
on their part, claim that those arrangements
were unjust to the stockholders Of their road,
and that the demands Of Vanderbilt were out
of the bounds Of reason and justice. However
this may be, the public have an interest in this
matter that should not be overlooked in these
railroad squabbles. The Hudson River and
Harlem roads are in winter time the only ter
mini Of the New York Central, and they are
both under one management. It is not right
that the people, who grant the charters to these
companies, should be made the sufferers by the
quarrels Of unfriendly boards of directors If
the difficulties cannot be adjusted the Legisla-
ture should step in and see what can be done
by legislation to remedy the evil. The present
quarrel shows the necessity for the speedy con-
struction OF a road on the west side of the
Hudson, connecting with the Schenectady and
Athens road, and making an unbroken line
over the Central to the West Such road is
demanded for the convenience of shippers as
well as travellers. The great trouble with the
Hudson River and Harlem roads is the lack OF
sufficient freight houses and docks for the re-
ception of freight. With road terminating at
Hoboken or Jersey City this want would be
supplied, as all the dockage could be obtained
that might be needed for the accommodation
of freight. II would take but short time apy
a comparatively small amount of capir.i t
build and equip such q road.

y. c., very important opinion, in which his
associate, Justice Brooks, concurred, to TIE eff
feet that the citizens Of the Confederate States,
who paid debts due Northern citizens into the
hands Of Confederate receivers, are not thereby
discharged from the debt. The result is that
all such debts are now collectable, and the par
ties who voluntarily paid, or who were forced
to pay over to receivers, will have their remedy
at law against the receivers, who arc bound
for funds thus unlawfully obtained.
