WASHINGTON, March l5.-Mr. Stevens
proposition to amend the Alabama bill by
granting suffrage TO all male citizens above
twenty-one years of age creates consterna-
ton among the Radicals. Several prominent
members have endeavored to dissuade him
from offering it, He says he will do so when
the bill comes up II he is able to get to the
House.
1t has transpired that spy was put on
General Thomas track to question him, with
view 10 obtain information as To what
course the President and himself have agreed
to pursue in regard to Stanton. The spy
then went before the managers of impeach-
ment and Thomas was summoned there to
be confronted. Thomas said he spoke but
IlaughiHgly to the rascal. II occurred at the
last levee of the President Such are the
means used in this shameful trial. r7t
WASHINGTON, D. c., March l6-The House
failed to reach the Alabama bill to-day
But very little business of general interest
was transacted. The Radicals, however,
enacted another outrage, by formally voting
! that all rules should be suspended during the
trial of the President, SO as to allow the
seven House managers to introduce a resolu-
ton germane TO that subject This Icing
done, Butler amended his resolution so the
managers could withdraw 10 the House any
bill or resolution on any subject what
ever; and this, too, was adopted. 1t
bears the phase of rascality on its fece, and
as Butler is its author, there is no good in it;
and time can only develop its meaning
which, as yet, has not been fatbomed, except
| ing by those in the secret.
Thad. Stevens was very feeble Yesterday,
ond his mind wandered so that frequently he
did not recognize his attendants or friends,
but lie rallied toward night, and to-day was
in the House prepared TO participate in the
! business Of the Alabama bill, which had
teen up. '
His committee agreed to report and amend
ment TO that bill, providing its legislature
shall convene in thirty days after the passage
Of this bill SO as to ratify the conditions re.
| lative TO negro suffrage.
Stevens declared he wanted every man,
white and black, to vote, and does not in
| tenu tuat tHls great privilege snail be
| ignored.
The Radicals are raising money by as,ess-
ing onceholders 10 use IN tie Connecticut
election next month. Many of this class
nave forked over under assurances that when
| Wade succeeds johnson it viii be indsputa-
BILE evidence of their political status, and
thus will retain their places. Senators Will
son and Harlan, Representative Garfield and
Others will 80 there next week TO make
speeches.
