The Richmond Dispatch says There is
slight Autter in commercial circles about the
reported collapse OF the firm of Sedwick q
Wadsworth, late commission merchants and
dealers in country produce, doing business on
the Basin bank. 1t is said that the senior
member of the firm left town about ten days
ago via the Danvile railroad ostensibly for the
purpose of soliciting consignments, his wife
having left Richmond some time before. Mr..
Wadsworth remained few days longer, and
kept store until Saturday night On Sunday
he was seen for the last time at his boarding
house The stock on hand in the store Is
worth nothing and the liabilities of the firm
are considerable.

The cable dispatches indicate that both Tur-
key and Greece are prepared to proceed to ex-
tremities. The Sultan officially announces his
purpose to enforce his demands, and sent four
additional frigates into the Archipelago, whilst
Greece has called out the military reserves OF
the country, and it is proposed to raise ten bat
talons of students, the command OF which IS to
be offered to Garibaldi An instant invasion
of Epirus is demanded by the people of Greece,
who are enthusiastic in their support of the
Government. The latest report of actual hos
tilities is that the Greek steamer Erosus was
followed into the port of Syria by the Turkish
Admiral and sunk. The London Times charges
the Greeks with being the first to commence
hostilities, because she has ordered her vessels
to fire upon all Turkish men-ot-war who might
attempt to overhaul them. 1t expresses the
belief that such pressure will be brought
upon the Athenian Government that peace
will be speedily restored. The Paris Moniteur
expresses the same belief. The London Star
and Standard, on the contrary, both attribute
the trouble TO the obstinacy of the Great
Powers in persisting In maintaining the statu
quo of the Ottoman Empire.
The London Times discusses the action OF
the u. S. Congress concerning the national
credit. 1t fears that there is an ambiguity Of

gold, the burden of that debt might be reduced
one half.

Mr.. SUMMERS EULoGY upon the late Thad-
deus Stevens, delivered in the Senate, yester-
day. was very pretentiouS effort, and reminds
us of the ga,tdy 'orations' that used to be
spouted in the French National Convention
He opened thus:
1.-The visitor pacing the English House OF
Commons stops with reverence before the mar
bic statues, twelve In number, of the men who
during two centuries have adorned that famous
chamber. In the lapse of time, as our history
extends, we shall have similar monuments
If ours be confined to the men who have dis
tinguished themselves in the House alone, they
will be few; but among them must be monu
ments to josiah Quincy, Joshua Il. Giddings,
and Thaddeus Stevens. These men hated
therefore, were generally marks for oblOquy,
and in minority but already their compen-
sation has begun"
Of the triumvirate thus lauded, abolitionist
as he was, We do not believe that, were he
alive, Josiah Quincy would care about being
ranked with the two others And then to
think, that these three men should be marked
out as among the few who have been distiu-
guisbed in the House of Representatives =
Mr.. Sumner in concluding his address said:
ut is as defender of human rights that
Thaddeus Stevens deserves our homage. Here
he is supreme. On the other questions he
erred. On the finances his errors were signal.
But history will forget these and other faiings,
as it bends with reverence before those exalted
labors by which humanity has been advanced
Already he takes his place among illustriOus
names, which are the common property of
mankind. | see him now, ss have so often
seen him during life. His venerable form
moves slowly and with uncertain steps; but
the gathered strength of years is in his couute-
nance and the light of victory on his path
Politician, calculator, time server, stand aside
A hero-Statesmau passes to his reward.
The subject Of the eulogy was neither hero
nor statesman-but bitter politician The
comments which might be made, throDg upon
the mind-but we forbear 1t is not in our
nature to desire to speak harshly Of the dead,
whatever we may thiOk, or however little they
may deserve, in some instances, the praises Of

Speaking Of the reports concerning . modi.
fcation OF the Stay Law in this State, and OF
the relations Of debtor and creditor, generally,
the Leesburg WashingtOnian says:-"TO pro
coed against personal property on the lst OF
May, at the time when the farmers will be
planting their spring crops, will be extremely
hard in many cases, and unnecessary, when by
ordering the payment of a part of the principal
with the annual interest, this could be avoided,
and satisfaction given and confidence restored
between the creditor and debtor Give the
creditors guarantee that their debts will be
paid, and pay such proportion annually, as will
relieve their wants, and we believe the pecuni-
airy embarrassments of most Of cur people
would in a short time be relieved We hope
such will be the decision of the commanding
general.

Supreme Court in favor Of the British Gov
ernment Ia 1856 the British Government
made contract for arms for the Crimean cam

the fulfIment of this contract, the British Gov

Congress at its last session authorized the
Postmaster General to contract with the New
York Transportation Company for carrying
the foreign mails Mr. Randall refused to ex-
ccute the contract under the extraordinary
provisions of "a law which placed three millions
of bonds, endorsed by the Governm ent, in the
hands of irresponsible parties who wished to
undertake contract that upon its face would
indicate fraud. The parties interested in this
magnificent operation are not to be thus chOked
off by Postmaster General Randall, anda joint
resolution has been offered in the Senate declar-
ing the true intent and meaning Of the law aud
directing the Postmaster General to enter into
contract according to its provisions. Should
this joint resolution pass both Houses, the re-
sponsibility of the transaction will then be
shifted from the Department to the shoulders
of Congress, and the New York Transportation
Company will secure an endorsement by the
Government upon their bonds to the amount
of three millions of dollars, whether they ever
carry bag of foreign mails or not.
