o imsd the part of Jenkins 80 well,
that the NeW York Herald has sent its
correspondent to look after Thad. Ste
vens. Thad. at the moment, happen
cd TO be in a communicative mood
and, strange to say, told many truths
about his friends, as we'll as the future
Of his party. We give some extracts:
| GIVES scHENCK AND BINoHAMA DIo-No
c~oNFIsCATIoN THIS SESSION..
Question by your Correspondent
Do you inteud, Mr.. Stevens, to press
for your mild" c~onfscation in the
| approaching extra session.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures. have
taken " wide gionnd in stating what
l desire. My position is that there is
plenty Of time in the future to COM
plete this work. Thu conquered prov
inces will still be outlying conquered
provinces Of the United States, until
admitted 10 States Of the Union. As
to the coming session, L suppose we
shall have work enough, Judging from
the past, in setting:right ssthe mischief
done by The President aud his advisers.
/ think we s~halloLly be able to patch
up the old law. We may not even
have tho power to pass a resolution
declaring all that has been done since
the adjournment null. and void. Such
men as Schenek, Bingham and others
have no blood in theft veins. She'll
abarger stood alonein the Ohio dele
Igation, for the right, and he made
some noble speeches while the recon-
struction fight was going on. The
rest were utterly demoralized. After
trying every side wind and expedient
20 cripple or defeat the Military Bill,
they voted for it; and-we shall find
them doing the same again. In the
same way they will twist and squirm
Z and shirk on a direct resolution Of i'm
parchment.
THE GENERALIZATION or CONGRESS
WIVES ANo WOMEN.
The fact is, Congress had, as usual,
become thoroughly demoralized
! Some members had their wives at
Washington and their women at home,
and others their women at Washington
and their wives at home, and IL was
impossible TO keep them together.
The bill was not all wa wanted, but It
was the best we could get, and so we
passed It. At last It was proposed
that Congress should itself name the
Generals who were to command in the
different military districts into which
the conquered territory was divided,
but the objection was made that it
looked like an Interference with the
discipline Of the army. Then the
commanding General was TO make the
selections; but some Of our friends said,
oh, lot the preeidont do It, II can do
no HARM and 80 We let it go at that, y
JEALOUSY OF WADE THE D-EsTRUcTIoNT TO
IMPEACHMENT.
Question-You think, thon, that a
resolution ofimpeachmont could not
now be carried ?.
Mr.. Steyens-I think not. 1t would
be defeated on account Of jealousy on
the part oftho opponents Of Senator
Wade. The contest between Wade
and'Fessenden for the Presidency o'
the Senate was very bitter vnu, puI
personal feelings and motives wa. 10
terIere to prevent Wade from occupy
ing the Presidential chair, even for
n single dav. After Wadc'a election,
Blame, Of M1fne, said on tho floor OF
the House, &" This Congress will new
CT votc Impeachment, We don want
any ofBon. Wade's 'ShCllywGcgcrs'
around the White House Il is this
sentiment that will defeat impeach-
mcnt. Every little tricky politician
who wants this'man for n postmaster
or that man for n constable, and does
not think Ben. Wade will give him
what he wants, will oppose 1t.
REPUBLICANS WILL BE KILLED BY CONSERVATISM ~
NEW YORK.
Question What do you think, sir, Of the
condition rthe Robubhcan party in New York
State {?
Mr.. stoyens7-I think you will he killed by
conservatism in New York. Your Republicans
are what the Indian would coll "mighty uncer-
tain =" They ave no boldness or settled prin-
ciple. Your last years platform was one of the
mos. absurd and cowardly that could be adopt
ed in a country running rapidly to ra6icalism.
Greeley has generally spit upon such platformsj
but I suppose lie viii be for a still mors diluted
one next year. Your representatives, are not
reliable. I look upon Laflin as an entirely
demoralized man, Most of the others are no
better than he. Conkling has hitherto been
true, and I hope he will continue so in his new
position. IBeiieoe NcD York ,0W be lost this
gear BY rant Of earnestaess in tie cause, and by
the dish vater which has been Aroton around By
Greeley end Gerit Smith.
THINKS PEENsYLvAHIA WILL BIZ LOST THROUGH
CAAERoS's coRRUPTIoN.
Question-Is the Republican party well uni
ted in Pennsylvania
Mr. stevens-I fear that we shall lose Penn
s~ylvania this next election. I do mot think we
