Thad. Stevens on the Presidents Views.
-Thad. Stevens recently wrote the following
letter. with the view, doubtless, of influencing the
late elections in Pennsylvania --.-.s.is -:
j Dear ISn.-In answer to your inquiry, wv hat
effect the success Of the President views will have
on the national securities" am Of opinion that
It's effects would be injurious.
The President contends that the body OF men
acting as Congress has. no constitutional powers
and can do no valid acts in the absence Of the ex
cluded States. The Congresses that authorized
the war debt and laid the internal duties to pay it.
were composed Of precisely the same number Of
representatives from the same States as the pres
ent. IF it should be decided that those Congress
es had no constitutional existence, the fye-twen-
ties ten-forties seven-t -thirties and the egatender
greenbacks will have been issued without authori'
/ ty, and will be worthless. .a. ....:. ..s,,
Whether they would ever be redeemed would
depend on what the President would consider q
constitutional Congress, after the admission Of the
rebel representatives, when the condition OF the
debts of both beligerents would be considered.
Yours, truly, THADDEUS STEVENS:
An Invention for Fractions Horses. .
- The Home Journal gives the following ac'
count of new and much needed invention:
IN. Ducreux, Frenchman residing in New
York, has invented and patented an article which
will save many lives that would otherwise be lost,
by horses becoming frightened and running away.
The article is an attachment to carriage, buggy,
or other vehicle, which, in moment releases the
animalor animasfrom the carriage, in case Of their
running away or in any accident. Like all great
and useful inventions, it is simple enough when
made known 1t is merely an arrangement which
lets free the traces attached to the bar or shafts Of
wagon. If your horses take fright and run away,
and there is chance that your carriage land your
self will be dashed to pieces, you have only to
pull small handle, conveniently placed near the
driver seat, and the horses may dash on, but you
remain quiet and quite safe in the carriage. ! N
DucreuX is indeed benefactor of his race, and bis
invention ought to. be applied to every vehicle in
|, the world. Messrs. Adams and Cone, on the cor.
ner of Broad and Great Jones-street, have on ex'
hibition one or two carriages with this novel at.
tachment, and we advise the riding public to cal
there and examine it. The article, too, is quite
ornamental 10 any vehicle in which it is adopted.
Hanging the President. .--
- The Herald is very severe upon Speaker
Colfax, because he threatened the President with
hanging, ina public speech 1t says: =
"It was generally supposed that the Speaker o.
the House should be a gentleman. All the tradl
tions of Congress and the responsibility ofa con-
stitution which Greats the Office, presuppose that
fact but that the Speaker should threaten the
Chief Magistrate with the ingnominious death Of
felon, only shows to what terrible state OF de-
moralization the leading politicians Of the Repub
can party have sunk. 1t is but in accordance with
the instincts of gentlemanly society that a mar
using such language would at once forfeit his sta
tus and be expelled from all association with gen
tlemen. We can only say that Mr. Colfax, by his
own confession, has disgraced his character, and
has entitled himself to denial of all the courte'
sizes of respectable society henceforth."
: While the indignation of the Herald is perfectly
Just, there is no ground for its surprise at Mr. Col
fax's threats. Hanging, disfranchising, Danish.
ment, &c. are the arguments of his party to those
who differ from them in opinion. As for gentle
manly instincts, the HaalTs comments, though
they might have applied to former times, are en-.
tirely out of place now. 1t is by no means essen.
tial that Congress should be composed of gentle,
men. If it were 80, and if all who are not gentlemen
were expelled, Congress would soon be reduced to
very small assembly.
Gen. Forrest indicated.
"A correspondent of the New York Times
having recently revived the old SANDER about the
"Fort Pillow massacre" Gen. Forrest replies once
for all to this malicious alsehood, invented and cir
culated BY his enemies. 1t will be qualification
to learn the facts in the case; for Gen. Forests
contemptuous silence hitherto has produced a gen.
eral impression that he actually did butcher his
prisoners on that occasion. The essential part Of
the Generals card is as follows:
'"The official report of the United States officer
commanding at Fort Pillow, and the testimony re-
. ported by the Congressional Investigating Commit
tee, of which Vice President Wade was chairman,
show that the garrison consisted of only about $50
officers and men, Other proofs, which can pro-
duce at any time show that captured and can &C
count for more than 800 of these-sixty-fve OF
them, who were badly wounded, having been de-
livered by me to the officer commanding United
States gunboat in the vicinity of the fort, and a.
bout ESQ., ian official descriptive list of whom is now
in this city, in the possession of General Thomas
Jordan, having been turned over by me to Gen.
Polk, at Demopolis, Ala. Of these captured men
nia,ety soere negro soldiers Nor were the rest of
the garrison all killed; for many of them effected
their escape while others were drowned in the at.
tempt. It will thus be seen that the proportion
of killed was not greater than is usual in the case
of so severe fight, accompanied by desperate
assault and defence. --.'.-
These facts are known to the Government of the
United States and acquit me, not only in the opin-
ion of the President, Mr. Stanton, and Judge
Holt, but in that of Congress- of any violation of
the rules of civilized warfare Otteraoise would
have been long ago arrested and tried upon that
charge. For my own part, conscious of my inno-
cence, and knowing perfectly well that have al
ways waged war with the strictest regard to the
usages Of civilized nations, | have never Stunned
any investigation to which the Executive or Con-
gress might subject my military conduct"
