Important Letter Received BY the

Especial to the Evansville Journsll
INDIANAPoLIs, March 16.-A letter
was received by the Secretary Of State
this morning, from Messrs. Jernegan,
Hammond & Cleveland, of New York,
which states that, by the viii of Ho-
ratio Ward, of London, lately deceas-
ed, considerable property has been
given :" to the various asylums or
homes that have been formed, or may
be formed within a year, throughout
the loyal Sta'es, for the orphans by
the late war for the restoration Of the
Union" As the attorneys Of the
executors of the will, they desire to
know where these asylums or homes
are located, in order that a proper
division of the property may be made.
A box of dry goods, worth some
5000, was recovered here, last week,
aud returned to New York, Saturday
night, which had been shipped here to
a professional thief, by parties who
had managed to get large stock from
H. B. Clafin & Co., Of that city, part
ly on time, and instead OF opening out
and selling at Bowling Green, Ken
tucky, as pretended, shipped about
over the country. But small por-
ton has been recovered, and some of
it has doubtless been sold at auction.

Alexander II. Stephens Views on
National Politics,

From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb. %. 1
Mr.. Stephens is now superintend-
ing the publication Of his first and
only book. The War between the
States He will leave the city to-
morrow for short visit to New York
and the Eastern States, and return
again next week. He entered the
house while we were inquiring for
him, and invited Us to his room on
the second floor, where he is compos-
ing the closing portion Of his book.
He walked by the aid of a caue, but
that we recognized nothing Of the
bodily feebleness that has been i'm
puted to him. Mr.. Stephens has been
often described and Photographic
portraits of him are very common;
these latter convey very little idea Of
the pale, soft skin Of his face, the
fneness of MS hair the 1exueme
delicacy of his hands and
the exquisite harmony Of his
features, manners and voice A re-
fined organization, fine almost to et-
feminacy, is manifestliat once to any
one who may meet him. his hair has
whitened equally, without becoming
thinned, and his forehead expresses
hahitual physical pain. His eyes are
of a dark hazel color, beautiful,
aud large as a consumptive 5, but keen
and flashing at times; his nose IS Of
like spirit cut clean in profile and
nostriI, and his smooth face, sloping
quickly to delicate chin, contains
mouth like girls, small aud straight.
j Jefferson Davis, IN some of his ner-
vous and intense movements, reminds
one of Mr.. Stephens, but the former
is of cOarser and more earthly mold.
Mr. Stephens has at times petulent
look, as of sudden pain, suppressed
almost Immediately. He is bent
somewhat. and his invalid complex
ion and stature give him the appear
ance of a religious enthusiast, except
when, at earnest moments, his cOun-
tenance strengthens, and his voice
grows shrill and efeetiYes like John
Randolph 5.
We asked him how the State of
Georgia was thriving. ' Everything
sthere is wretehed, he replied. We
are ruined, or next to ruined. The
negroes are compactly organized
their leagues reaching to every
county of the State. They eoerce
and threaten any black man who does
net join them They are. in fact, a
unit, politically. Thcendiaries, The
off-scourings of the earth, have moved
.iufo, the State, their only object being
/ to stir up strife. These have excited
the negroes with political hopes which
they would not have entertained
otherwise, and demoralized the entire
population"
We spoke of the tour Of Senator
/ iIWilson and others in the South.
/ " 1t was not Of Mr.. Wilson ar men
of that gfade that l spoke" said Nr.
+ Stephens. These incendiaries are
i ostensibly lawyers. We never see
them; they live almost entirelyamong
the blacks. We don't know where
they come from; they are everywhere,
and always for mischief"
Then Georgia is worse of. In your
belief, than at the close of the war.
Infinitely. The war closed upon
a submissive, and, so far as good oiti-
zenship was concerned, a quiet and
obedient people The terms of the
+ peace were acceded to. The negroes
promised to give US no anxiety. Il
seemed, comparatively, an easy prob
lem to set society to work again. Til

The tableaux 1.-THE sending away OF

very Iife.like representations of Bible

One Of the most interesting features
OF the occasion was the Infant Class
lesson on 1.-The Birth OF Christ"
Anything from the "littls ones" is
always well received. Infant voices
attuned to the SHvior's praise, and with
the first calculations of speech lisplng
the "Story ofthe Cross" have an effect
that cannot be produced by their Sc
niors.
A presentation Of SIS was made to the
church by Miss Charnock's class, and
received by the Pastor in few well
chosen remnrks. These exercises were
interspersed with singing appropriate
to the OCCASION
During the exercises We noticed
glaucss TO either side of The stage, and
wo fear full amount OF attention was
not paid to what was done thereon. The
secret OF this proved 10 lie that II Christ

CHRISTMAS comes but once year, al'
ways in winter, and II is very essential
in ,cinter to have the feet properly and

more acceptable especially to young

you want in the Boot or Shoe line is at

ALMosr A FIRE.-DurinG the cclebrn.
lion OF mass at sn.early hour on Christ.
mas morning at the Cathedral, an Incl
dent occurred, which but for the pres
ence of mind displayed by some of
those present, might have been ,,toDd-
ed with serious consequences. The
building was crowded with worship
pers, and the altar profusely decorated
with evergreen and flowers. While the
person whose duty it is to light the
candles about the altar was engaged in
disohargIng it, the light which he was
bearing came in contact with the ORA.
perry. in a moment and 1t was in a blaze.
Several persons promptly rushed to the
spot and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, but not I'LL the dcorations
on one side of the chanceI had been
burned. The incident produced quite
a cOmmotion in the large assembly.
Fortunately, however, the whole trans.
pired SO quickly that Il general rush for
4egress was prevented.

SEWER CAvED.-In passing long on
the east aide of Main street, between
Quincy and John, on Saturday evening,
we noticed in front of Hamilton & Co.'S.
new warehouse a huge pile of Garth
thrown up in the street, and enquiring
whence 1t came, we were informed that
the sewer at that point had given way.
We saw two or three parties who were
attempting to repair 1t, hut we thought
the force Inadequate TO accomplish 1t
within a reasonable time. As that is a
very public place it occurred to us that
a hole in the street sufficient to receive
a horse and cart should not be permit
ted to remain any very considerable
period. No doubt our efficient Street
Commissioner will increase the force
after reading this paragraph.
