Thaddeus Stevens.

In MT. Stevens we have lost one of the most noteworthy men of our time, Con gress has lost its ablest debater, and the Republican party one of its most DO werful champions Still, history will hardly reck- on Mir. Stevens great statesman or great politician; although his views have often been statesmanlike, his political manage ment often masterly. He was far too full of partisan bitterness for g. great statesman, far too rash for a great politician. On the floor of the House he never met his match. and. even when plainly in the wrong, few could cope with the readiest, sharpest debater Congress has ever seen. But his extreme opinions, which he delighted to pat in their most offensive forms, have sometimes done his party infinite injury in the country. Even in the House he was never trusted leader, and his measures have oftener been repudiated than sustained Still he has been so often right, and so powerful when right, that he deserves high place among the great parliamentary leaders who have waged unrelenting war against the Slave Power.

Above all, that the freedom of speech and action guaranteed by the con- stitution is practically ensured in the for mer, and prohibited in the latter.

Bs@ In these bitter political times, it is with peculiar pleasure that we notice the action of prominent Republicans in the matter of filling the vacancy caused by the death of Gen. Halpine That gentleman unfortunately left scarcely any provision for his family, although holding at the time of hisde ath, the lucrative office of Re- gistrar for the City and County of New York. He was Democrat and supporter of Seymour and Blair, but his patriotic services before and during the war, seemed to deserve especial recognition. Ac- cordingly, Generals Grant and Sherman, Horace Greedy, John A. Griswold, Republican nominee for Governor in New York, and many other prominent Re- publicans, wrote to Gov. Fenton, request ing that the vacancy might be filed by some one who would devote the emolu- ments of the office to the relief of Gen. Halpine's widow and children. Governor Fentoa gladly complied with this request, and appointed Gen. Patrick H. James for that purpose. -partisanship of that practical kind is a thing by no means un- common in the political world

Special telegram TO the Dispatch. ~
=" y AsHsNaTos, April 2z.-It is stated, by
those who afecsto believe that General
schofeld win decline the nomination Of
Secretary Of War, that If he should be con
sfrmed, and accept the ofice, he would be
compelled therefore to resign his position
:inthe regular army. sucha result would not
follow necessarily. He could not receive the
salary nor exercise the functions Of both
Offices at the same time, but he could hold
his commission in the army with leave Of
absence during the period he performs the
duties Of Secretary of War. ~ $500 ]
Several instances in point now exist, and
General Fitzpatrick, our Minister to Chill,
Tor about q year after he entered upon his
diplomatic service continued to hold o com
mission as Major-G General in the army. AS
yet nothing has occurred to warrant the be-
lief that General Schofeld would not accept
the Office in case the Senate should confirm
his nomination to be Secretary Of War. -a-'
e Republican authorities to-day admit that
impeachment stock, from some indefnable
cause, has Q. downward tendency. In fact,
on all sides 1t is admitted that the Senate
will acquit the President. The speech Of
MIR. Groesbeck has SO clearly presented the
utter untenableness Of the articles of inn
parchment, and the insufhciency Of EVIL
-dence to sustain the charge Of criminal in
tent, that many who heretofore asserted
that case fortremoval had been made out
now agree that the Managers have failed to
present to the Senate the facts. and Law to
warrant that body in conviction and re-
moval of the Executive. WALLACE
