LONDON, August 14.-All the
journals comment on Stevens death.
The times, after recounting Stevens
prominent connection withtho i'm
parchment project and his views
relative to payment of five twenty
bonds, concludes the death ofThad-
deus Stevens is not now a public
loss; his impeachment policy was of
incalculable injury to his political
party and the financial dishonesty
which he encouraged dies with him.
He was a flnatical, bitter and self
willed man, but not mean or decit-
full. He is the last of the leading
Americans who had the courage to
rise above political partizanship.
The Morning Telegraph has the
following: Stevens was neither good,
wise, nor generous, but in his time
did signal service, and with all his
faults he merits the famous phrase,
chat was a man." The Daily
News concludes: The death of
Stevens leaves no important place
untitled, either in the lead of his
party or in the council of the ma
| ton.
