All Stephens la Congress.
now THE NATION pUx1sHEs nBBELs.

Tho temperance OF Alexander II. Stephens,
Of Georgia, as member of Congress- will be an
event OF some Significance. That within eight
years Of the collapse of the rebellion the Vice
President OF the Southern Confederaey is per-
lnitted TO take part in the national councils is
sufficient answer to all rant about prescription
and cruel revenge to which the Democratic par
iy have treated the country on every occasion.
MIR. Stephens Is elected to the forty-third Com
gress, which, unless an extra session is called,
will not meet until December. He was lately
candidate before the Georgia legislature for
United States Senator, but General Gordon Be-
cured the office. Stephens friends then rallied,
and the death Of the member of Congress in his
district having afforded an opportunity, all Others
Welded their ambition to enable Mr.. Stephens to
bs elected. It will be remembered that he is a
bunker Of the hunkers, and utterly refused to
favor the party submission TO the Cincinnati
movement. The nation has drifted away from
the ideas which command his approval, and he
will find himself as much out of place in the
United States Congress to-day as II he were q
relic of the times OF Thomas Jefferson. The ul-
ira doctrine of State rights which he holds, no
longer has the respect of any considerable num-
ber the people.--BOstOR Advertiser.

DdUid stati' us VIM. Herbert, late Sheriff.
This is case in which It appears that Susan J.
Justice obtained an execution against Stats,
who gayo bond to Herbert in the penal sum of
S2050. for the forthcoming of property consisting
OF wheat cattle and hogs. The plaintiff stayed
the writ, when another writ was Issued and
stayed, and third one was directed to Jacob
Richardson, late shorif. Ho made return that
u part OF tho goods had been sold aud the pro-
ceeds duly applied, and that the cattle and hogs
we're not forth coming, whereupon Herbert issued
an execution upon the bond of $2950 and direct
ed that the amount to be collected be equivalent
TO the sum not forthcoming. Stats, the defend
ant in the bond, then hed a bill In equity for an
injunction TO restrain ex-shern Herbert from
executing the writ. The Chancellor decided that
tho Plaintiff In the original writ, by not pressing
his execution, and by permitting the crops to be
gathered by tho defendant had released the
sheriff from reliability, and that as Herbert had
not suffered any loss ON the forthcoming bond,
he was not entitled to an execution thereon, and
therefore the injunction ves continued.

sale, under the mortgage, and brought $4,000
more than the amount due. Sheriff Richardson
applied tho excess to: Judgments against Gam
mill in legal order, and 600 in excess was
applied to the judgment OF Flynn. 1t was
claimed by the bill that the plaintiff was entitled
to have that sum invested for her
benefit during her life as her dover
in equity OF redemption. aud that
it could not have Il been applied TO Fynns
Judgment until her death; and she aonght to
have the defendants pay that money into Court

bill on the gronUd that the sheriff was not
obliged to take notice Of equitable lien, butt
apply the money to the legal liens in order that
the plaintiff had neglected to assert her right By
bill in equity before the money was 30 applied,
and thatth application Of the money gave Flynn
n superior equity which could not now be dis
turbed without injustice TO him.

WASHINGTON, March 8.
Never, since the great review, at the close Of
the rebellion, has Washington presented such a
scene of attraction as may to-day be witnessed.
It's really gala day, and, from appearances,
but few persons are attending to their avoca-
tions, A large stage Immediately in front Of the
main entrance Of the Capitol has been
erected, which will be capable of holding
fully one thousand persons, To-day the
workmen are engaged in decorating II aud sup
plying it with the necessary chairs desks, tables
&c. About four hundred feet from the Capitol
entrance, and in front Of the stage, upon which
the Inauguration ceremonies will occur, plat
fsrm that will seat fifteen hundred people, is in
course OF erection. This will be finished tonight
1t will Of course, be impossible to hear word
that is said at this point, but, with pair Of
glasses fine view of the imposing ceremonies
can be had, and, probably, that is about all that
is necessary.
Along the streets through which tho process
sion will march enterprising citizens have ar
ranged in front OF their stores platforms upon
which. at 80 much head, the unfortunates may
have an opportunity OF seeing all that can be
seen.
Probably thirty thousand visitors are in town
to-day, and tonight aud tomorrow morning this
NUMBER Will DC uOuDlou. AS U consequence lub
hotels AND boarding houses are thronged, and
they are compelled to turn applicants away.
Every available place is filled, and it will be nec
essary for those who come tonight to sit up or
walk the streets.
The streets are crowded with uniforms. The
West Point Cadets probably attract most notice.
The City Troups Of Philadelphia came in, this
afternoon. There are also here from thatlcity
the Washington Grays, the State Fencibles and
the 18th Regiment State Guard, (colored.)
The prospect. tonight, for to-morrow's festiv-
tiles, Is not very cheerful. The mercury has
been sinking for several honrs, and gale is
blowing that threatens to last beyond noon to-
morrow. Unless there is marked and unex-
pected change there will be but few spectators
out OF doors to see the parade or witness the
Inauguration ceremonies. As for the ball, it will
be utterly impossible to heat the building, and
this fact will render necessary postponement.
The city is crowded to it's utmost, Williards and
the Ebbitt House each having nearly one thous-
and guests apiece under their roofs.

4 MISTAKE,

The San francisco Bulletin says Clag-
EFT is "a hot-tempered man" This is a
mistake. Clagett is radical in nothing.
But he is a shrewd, sagacious man, who
knows how to look out for self-interest;
and, as the word is usually accepted, he
Is man of talent-of first-class cleo
pioneering talent. How, otherwise, could
he have gone to Congress as Repubi-
can from one OF the strongest Democratic
communities in the Union? How, 9TH
erwise, could he have come within few
votes of being reelected, when the Dem
ocratic strength was united, as it was at
the last Montana election? But he was
defeated; and, determined to show the
country what was in him in the short
time he had to remain in Congress, he
jumped the only hobby he could, as o
member of limited privileges, straddle-
opposition to Mormonism. He has de-
livered his big speech secured all the
eclat attainable in this way-and now he
is ready to fill the role of Governor of
Utah, and would do so with such inge-
nulty and grace as to avert war and have
half Mormondom hurrahing for him be-
fore he had been in the Office six months.
