h WASHINGTON, Oct Is. - Letters
have been received here from Thad-
deus Stevens, in which he declares
his intention to urge upon Congress,
as soon as 1T meets in November, two
great measures essential to the safety
hof the country. The first is a. general
/ iimpeachment law, defining the ofen-
ses upon which an officer may beim-
peaehed, and expressly declaring that
no officer shall continue to exercise
the power of his Office during his
trial. The second law which Mr..
Stevens intends to urge will provide,
under the Constitution and upon the
principles of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, that no State shall have
power. to prohibit citizens of the
/. United States. whatever their race,
color or religion, from voting for
President or Congressmen. This law
will establish impartial suffrage
throughout the Union. Leading Re-
publicans affirm that Mr.. Stevens viii
be sustained by Congress. &
!. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Additional
points of difference in the spurious
1905 show that in the counterfeit
notes the lines forming the right
shoulder of the female in the central
yigenette do not come up to the sword,
bat leave white space. In the gen.
uine note the lines are not only more
numerous, but come clearly and dis
tinctly up to, the sword. So far as
discovered, the Treasury Department
had presented to it only SIC, 900 worth
of spurious notes. s aaf

I, Information from New York is to-
the effect that there are no divisions
among the Republicans regarding the
State ticket; that even the Thurlow
Weed, party hasshung out the Repub-

! Twenty third Street, and are working
for the straight ticket. while leading,
Union men do not hesitate to say that
the effect of the late elections will be
depressing in the State, yet they be-
lieve the Democratic losses from the
enormous vote of last year will equal
those anticipated in the Republican
vote. 0ls r .iosl as's gou ae2 +
