Letter from Thad. Stevens.

The following letter from old Thad. is
found in the Washington Chronicle, of the
18th inst, addressed to the editor of that
paper:
DEAR SIR II have long. and with such
ability as l could command, reflected upon
the subject of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and finally have come to the sin
cere conclusion that universal suffrage was
one of the inalenable rights intended to
be embraced in that instrument by our
fathers at the time Of the declaration and
that they were prevented from inserting it
in the Constitution by slavery alone.
They had no intention to abandon it as
one of the inalIy-enumerated rights, but
simply to postpone it.
The Committee on Reconstruction have
inserted that provision with great urbani-
ty in the bill admitting the State of Ala
bama into the Union.
They have finally resolved that 60 State
shall be admitted into The Union unless IN
der that condition.
1 have deemed this notice necessary
that the States not in process of coustruc-
ton or reconstruction may be advised there

Louisville March 8. inclosing certain state

Thomas says:
"Gen. Grant viii see by these statements

resistance is an outgrowth Of the rebellion,

Enforce The Law,

We are cTedIbly informed that some of The
Democrats elected to various county offices
in this Congressional District last Saturday
cannot trulhfully take the oath of office,
having been supporters of the rebellion.
We hope that the Law in reference to officers
will be strictly carried out 50 long as it re-
mains on the statute book. If that be ig-
nored, then the whole franchise law may be
nullfed, fer the basis. spirit and intent Of
both are the same. 1t is the duty of loyal
citizens in every county to see that no dis
loyal officer eject shall take his seat unchal-
lenged. The mere taking of the candidates
oath, although Prinaa tacie proof of loyalty,
is no! conclusive. 1t does not prevent flu
ture inquiry into the officers character, nor
even his expulsion from Office.

We are credlbly informed that some Of
