The London Herald had long article yes
terday on the life and past services OF the late
Thaddeus Stevens. The writer thinks that
many wiser and ADLER Americans than Mr.

the country, but that the Republican party
will long feel that they could have spared a
better man.
Its officially announced that the Govern

English journals publish letters FROM Rio
Janeiro, in which the writer's say that the new
Cabinet, supported by a great majority OF the
people, favor peace with Paraguay. The same
correspondents say that the people of the Ar
gentine Republic are no less weary of the war

The cable summary of the Queen S speech at
the close of the Parliamentary session in Eng
land, led to the idea in this country that the

The statement is made ia the Paris Monde,
and confirmed from other sources, that invita-
tons to attend the General Council OF the
Catholic Church, appointed to be held at Rome,
December S, 1869, will be extended to all schis-
matica but not TO heretical Bishops. This
will include the Bishops Of the Greek and
Armenian Commuaions, but not those OF the
Church Of England The ground Of the dis
tinction would seem to be that schismatlcs only
differ from the Church of Rome in matters of
external discipline, while heretics reject essential
doctrines of faith. . ....'..

A Washington letter says ''the female Treas
ury clerks are in great state Of mental depres-
sion over the threatened removal Of two or
three hundred Of them. In some respects
their removal is ortunate-unfort for
the dependent, 7irtuous wives and mothers of
soldiers, but fortunate for another class and the
public interest they profess to serve. There
are whole families IN some instances IN the
Department., while there are others who ought
never to be allowed to come into the building
on business even They are disgrace any
incompetent, ignorant, and without
moral character, but the official influence that
keeps this class in Office, if exposed, would
surprise the public not little. Standing in
one of the corridors the other day as batch
of handsome girls came along with an air Of
abandon, learned in official life, such express
sioDs as these we're loud and frequent to their
fellow male Treasury Clerks ;-Good-bye,

are you, Captain Jinks, of the boss marines,

public money and swear it is correct.

to disband the colored militia companies the
letter was referred for execution to General
Emory, who carried it back in person to Gen.

The Governor of the State OF Vera Cruz had
returned to the port of that name after having
made an Intellectual attempt to capture the in
surgent chief Preto. The Governors military
and naval plans had all fallen through, although
the French, Spanish, German and American
residents were extensively aiding him to raise
men, money and provisions. He had deemed
it expedient to suspend the civil authorities OF
the city, and was expecting reinforcement Of
five hundred cavalry under Colonel Jiminez.
