INTERVIEW OF SOUTHERN LOYALIsTs WITH
HON. THADDEUS STEVENS.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, o
delegation of Southern loyalists, composed
OF white and colored citizens from Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina, called
upon Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, at his resi-
dence ON Capitol Hill, for the purpose OF
/ paving their respects to him, and OF obtaining
|. the benefit of his views in regard to recon-
struction. The names of the members are
as follows: Colonel C. E. Moss, and Mr..
Warlwell, white y Rev. Fields Cook and
George Fayeman, (cplored,) aud George
Thicker. of Virginia; Gilbert Pillsbury, and
n w nj Mackey, of South Carolina; B.
W. Reynolds, Joseph W. Holden and VIM.
F. Henderson, of North Carolina; and JAS.
H. Harris and A. H. Galloway, (colorcd,) of
the same State.
The delegation was introduced respective
" and separately to Mr.. Stevens, who re
ceiyed them in his chamber in an informal
manner, and conversation ensned with q
free interchange of views that appeared to
be highly satisfactory to all parties.
Mr.. Stevens, in reply to the regretof one
of the delegates that impeachment had
failed. said it was only an evidence of the
fckleness Of public opinion. If the COM
mittee had confined themselves to acts Of
usurpation merely, and presented their re-
port year ago, be Thought there were not
ten Republican members who would not
have voted for it. It was the opinion of
some that Chief Magistrate could only be
impeached for indictable offences; but he
considered that there was scarcely an in
dictable offence for which he could be imr
pcached. If q high official is guilty Of

United States.
SIK.-I talk the liberty Of addressing you
privately on the subject Of the conversation
we had this morning, feeling as I do the
great danger to the welfare Of the eonntry
should you carry out the designs then ex-
pressed. First, on the subject of the dis
placement Of the Secretary Of War His
removal cannot I've effected against bis win
without the consent of the Senate. II iEbut
short time since the United States Senate
was in session, and why not then have asked
for his removal, if it was desired Il certain
ly was the intention of the legislative branch
Of the Government to place the. Cabinet
Ministers beyond the power Of Executive
removal, and it is pretty well understood
that, SO far as Cabinet Ministers are Affected
by the enure-of-ofice bill, il WA Intended
specially to protect the Secretary Of War,
in whom the country felt great confidence.
The meaning Of the law may be explained
away by an astute lawyer, but cominon senso
and the views of the loyal people will Rlye TO
it the effect intended BY its trainers Second,
on the subject of the removal of the very
able commander Of the Fifth Military Dis
trict, let me ask You to consider the ellbct
it would have upon the public. He q

THE OLD BooK-KEEPER.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

~ -
It was an ancient ook-keeper,
And he WAS tall and slim !;
Though his face was mild he rarely smiled,
His clothes were dark and prim
And everything about his desk
He kept exceedingly trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upon the sclfsame hooks,
And laid his rulers, pens and ink
In their respective hooks;
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books
Each day, upon the seIf.same hour,
He took his lofty seat,
And bent his body and his mind
His labors to complete;
And blots were neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet.
The music of his pen was heard
From Morn till eventide;
8 Up columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride;
Quite pleased was he, though he saw his
work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that DER his fingers came
Each day was something grand;
And yet no scheme to bear it off
By him was ever planned;
Although yon saw with half an eye
That he wrote ''sloping hand.l
He had no wife, he made no friends,
His joys and cares were few;
And his dearest hopes from day to day,
Was to keep his balance true; e
A good world this every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way of life would cross;
And Ger the errors of his youth
He showed no vain remorse;
But he set down all that came along
To profit or to loss.
Oneday the creditor of all
Dropped in for his amount;
He found the old man at his post,
Though low ran natures iount;
The books were closed, and he was borne
e Up to his last account.

ever been refused at the Canton depot. IF
Shippers wish to retain the Collectors per
