THADDEus STEVENS ON STANBERY's Op1N-
1oN.-In Mr. Stevens's letter to the Washing
ton Chronicle which We published yesterday
morning, he urges the necessity, of a
July session of Congress on account of the At
torney Generals erroneous construct on of the
military government bills. Among his COM
plants is found the following, which does not
appear to give correct statement of the At
torney Generals views:
For instance, it is provided that to be emit
tied to be registered requires one wears resi-
dence in the State. Every man can see that
this means continuous residence Immediately
before the election. The Attorney General
holds that the party may take nine months
when he was boy and three months now
Andrew johnson, by going a month before the
election to North Carolina, where he lived
thirty years ago, could vote.
The much-perplexed Mr. Stanbery is en-
titled to his due, equally with the parsonage
who is proverbially so entitled; and the follow
ing extract from his first opinion will show
that he does not entertain the absurd idea
with which he is charged: ..a
No person is entitled to vote who shall not
be resident in the State for one year preyious
to the day of election. 1t is not necessary that
this previous residence should exist at the
eApiO VIC PSAoou appAcS registration. A
person in all other respects entitled TO vote is
entitled to registration, although he has not al
that time, been resident of the State for a
full year; for We find in the supplemental act
that the oath as to residence does not require
the applicant to swear that he has then been
resident for year, but only requires him to
state the number of months of his residence
contemplating a period less than, as well
as full term of twelve months
Therefore, as to such a person, SO registered, if
it happen at any election subsequently to be
held that the time of residence, counting from
the day OF election, does not cover an entire
year, he cannot vote at such election; for this
supplemental act does not, as to residence,
change the provisions of the original act, as it
is expressly provided by it, as to registration.
that it shall include only those who are quail
fled to vote by the original act. To carry out
the purposes of the law in this respect as to
residence, the board Of registration should note
opposite the name of the person whose resi-
dence has not extended to the full term the ex-
act time of his residence. 3'

The TRIAL OF SURRATT.-A jury for the trial
OF S9cfatt has at length been obtained. Cor
respondents speak of the members of the pam
Ell as worthy and intelligent gentlemen. Sew
eral of them are catholics, but their character
is sufficient guaranty that the evidence will
be impartially considered. A question has been
raised as to the legality of selecting a part of
the jury under the direction of one Judge, and
the rest under another, but it is not anticipat-
ed that this objection will delay the progress
of the trial. Chief Justice Carter will take the
place of Judge Fisher, who is still too unwell
to preside.
The government witnesses, to the number of
sixty, are in attendance. Among them is
Mrs. Hudspeth, who is expected to identity
Surrat as the man who accidentally dropped
a letter in her presence in New York, propos-
ing to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln. rs - .s..- --.-

BREAKING AND ENTERING.-Five times with
in three years the victualling store of Messrs.
Daniel Gill & Son has been broken into. The
last time was on Sunday night, when the
rogues, probably boys, broke one of the panes
of glass in front window, removed the fas-
tening, and entered by raising the window.
They helped themselves to all they wanted to
eat, drink and smoke. But not contentei
with this, they carried off all the cents they
could find, amounting to some few dollars
The store of Messrs. Head & Hodgdon, No.
135 Commercial street, was also entered Sun
dey night, through back window in the Sec
ond story, which was reached by placing a
board up to it. Some boxes of cigars and to-
bacco, to the value of $500, were stolen. A
drawer in the desk in the counting room was
broken open, but nothing but few postage
stamps was obtained.
Deputy Marshals Wentworth and Irish
worked up the case of the robbery of Messrs
Head s. Hodgdon's store and succeeded in ar.
resting two of the villains, named Devine and
Conner, and recovered portion of the stolen
property. Two others were also arrested or
suspicion of being concerned in the affair

The Eastern Promenade

We publish this morning a communication
defending the proposed cut through the East
ern Promenade. The case has not yet been
very clearly stated on either side. As we I'M
derstand it, the facts are substantially these.
The water front at the base of the Eastern
Promenade is all that could be desired for the
increasing business which now begins impera-
lively to demand more room than our wharves
afford. AT low water the depth of the channel
from Fish Point to Tukey's Bridge is fully five
fathoms. There are only tive ways by which
wharyes III these waters can be reached from
the city-either by continuing Commercial
street through the ledge around Fish Point,
or by laying out streets through the Eastern
Promenade. Both lines of access will be ulti-
mately needed. If the continuation of Com
mercial street is made gradually and pru-
IDENTIFY, by quarrying the stone and selling it as
it is taken out, the work will not be very ex-
pensive, and may perhaps even pay its way
If the stone is blasted out and disposed of in
the quickest way, regardless of expense, it will
be a costly piece of work. The cheaper method
is to be preferred, if we can wait Meanwhile
it is proposed to continue Congress street at
once to the waters edge, grading both sides of
Murjoy Hill alike This grade win intersect
the Promenade seventeen feet below its pre-
sent level. ID "-
1t must be granted that these reasons are
important and pressing. On the other hand
We learn that the grade of the Promenade has
never been permanently settled. That is to be
regretted. 1t should be determined at once
and we trust the present grade will be retain
ed. The inequalities of The natural surface
however Objectionable in a race course, are not
unpleasing in drive like the Promenade. The
elevation of the Promenade determines the
breadth Of the magnificent view, and should
not be reduced one inch If it is necessary to
continue Congress street, and perhaps other
streets. TO the waters edge at the base of the
hill, let them run under the Promenade
through tunnels, or at least under bridges. IL
is not necessary in this case to weigh the ext
gencies of business against the beauty of the
city. The continuation of Congress street
need not interfere with the Promenade, and il
it need not interfere then it should not.

Duties Of Military Commanders

OPINION OF ATToRNEY-GENERAL sTANBERY
From the synopsis, which is all that as yet
has come to hand, of Mr. Stanbery's opinion as
TO the powers and duties of military command
ers IN the Southern States, we select the most
important passages which fortunately give the
Attorney Generals conclusions in his own
language After reciting the sections of tbe
act ''for the more efficient government Of the
rebel States" he proceeds to speak of the
TWO DISTINCT GOVERNMENTS
We see clearly enough that this act contain,
plates two distinct governments in each of
those ten States, the one military and the 9th
er civil The civil government is recognized as
existing at the date of the act. The military
government is created by the act. Both are
provisional and both are to continue until a
new State Constitution is framed and the
State is admitted to representation in Con-
gress. When that event takes place both
these provisional governments are to cease
In the contemplation of this act this military
and this civil authority are to be carried on
together. The people in these States will he
made subject to both and must obey both
IN their respective Jurisdictions There is
then, an imperative necessity to define as
clearly as possible the line which separates the
two Jurisdictions and the exact scope of the
authority of each
THE CIVIL AUTHORITY
, NOW as to the civil authoritys RECOGNIZED nv
lie act as the provisional civil government -
IL covered every department of the civil inris-
diction IN each of those States. 1t had all
characteristlcs and powers of State govern
ment, legislative, judicial and executiTe and
was in the full and lawful exercise Of oil ,hasa
powers, except only that it was NOT a,t;tod 80

recognized more than once by the act IT, +. -
not in any one of its departments or as 70 o,r 10
one of its functions repealed or modified " in
this act, save only in the qualifications of neT-
sons eligible to office, the manner of HOLDING
elections and the mode of framing the consti
tuition of the stite The act does not in any
other respect change the provisional govern
ment, nor does the act authorize the military
authority to change it. The power of further
changing Is reserved, not granted, and it is re-
tary commander W VIII ''-''
THE MILITARY AUTAoRITY
we are therefore not at a loss to know what
powers were possessed by the existing civil
authority. The only question is unon thn
powers conferred on the military anthorit nv

A CHAsE.-Yesterday morning City Marshal
Head observed suspicious looking fellow on
Exchange street carrying carpet bag. He
took the bag and requested the man to walk to
the station house with him, where it might be
examined. The fellow complied, and went
with the Marshal until opposite the City build
ing, when he made sudden start down Con-
gress street. The Marshal put for him and
was joined in the chase by Mr.. George f.
Hutchings, and after a spirited run Of about
half mile the fellow was brought to, and
taken to the lookup. He gave his name as
Amos Dow, and has been stopping in the city
some little time. Upon searching the bag a
large number 81 silver plated knives, forks,
spoons &C., and nice meershaum pipe were
found, which he had probably stolen. Some
articles were also found at his boarding place
which, it is supposed, he had stolen.
