citing Presidential canvas has alse be-
gun, and it is the duty Of each man not
only to take II paper like the CoLCMBIAS

among the people. Let them have
light---let them know theprinciples and
policy of the Radical leaders, and we
are bound to triumph.

the Hon. ThRddeus Stevens was lying

Stevensis now dying;" nothing further
has been heard since then concerning

Monday last he took trip 10 Adams
county, Pa, to visit his iron works
there, very much against the advice OF
his physician, and II is probable that
he was barely able to reach home before
being Frustrated with his apparently
final illness.
A report was circulated at Wash
iugton, Tuesday, that, Mr.. Stevens was
dead. This report, in due course Of
telegraph. will reach here about the
last of the week. From one of our ex-
changes, however, we learn that up to
the latest advices, Mr.. Stevens was
neither dying nor dead. A dispatch re-
ceived Tuesday forenoon Tone day later
than our dispatch OF yesterday morn

GRN. HANCOCK was serenaded Tues.
day nightly the friends of the Presi-
dent, we infer, inasmuch as the same
crowd Afterwards went TO the White
House and serenaded A. j.
As we understand the Generals
speech, he did not give his hearers n
great deal of comfort. Among other
things, he said:
"Educated as a soldier in the mill
tary school of our country, and on the
fields of the Mexican war and the
American rebellion, need not assure
YOU that my course as a district com
mander will be characterized by the
same strict SotdierIy obedience TO The LdtV
there taught me. As Il soldier, know
no other guide"
Al. made Il speech tof rourse) to the
noisy crowd. He told them, as usual,
that the country was sin great peril, "
but don't seem to have said anything
about the Constitution. The crowd
cheered for "the man that was not
afraid TO be shot at, " so the account says.
We don't know exactly what that
means, unless it is some reference
10 wounds in the esophagus, from
which the illustrious occupant OF
the w. II. is constantly suffering
known In the vulgate as ''shot in the
neck" Aud the further Information
that the President seemingly spoke
with great feeling confirms this be-
lief. He always speaks with "great
feeling'-more feeling than sense or
neutrality-suspicious. in the unfortunate
condition referred TO the passions are
aroused while the finer attributes OF the
man are supplied. We confess, how
ever, 1t Is hard TO reconcile this theory
regarding Johnson's condition with the
remarkable omission TO mention the
Constitution, because had he been in
his normal condition that could hard
" have escaped him. The Omission
must he In the reporter. Perhaps full
les adVices will supply it.
Post SeTipttIm.-It is due to the trath
of history no less than to A. j. to say
that the omission of the Constitution
was not his. In last evenings Cincin-
natl Ga-ene we find fuller report of
his remarks, from which we extract the
following:
she desired TO remark further that
the country was in peril, and the Con-
atitution of our fathers was in peril,
and we must rally TO its support and
defense, and have conscientious re-
gard for the present Constitution, and
iel the Constitution be our guide, and
all will be well"
