An intelligent correspondent takes
issue forcibly with the estimate placed
upon Thaddeus Stevens by Col. \. X
Mcclure, in his recent college address in
this city. II is an easy and popular
thing to ascribe to Mr.. Stevens qualities
which he did not possess. He Was a man
of I'm Questioned will power which dis
played itself to great advantage in the
stormy times of the war aud of the re-
construction period; but lie had as
much power for evil as for good, and he
always seemed more bent on accom-
plishiug his ends than in considering the
virtues of them or the propriety of the
means. \ trite appellation was never
more grossly misappled than to call
Thaddeus Stevens the Great Com
moner :" and he had very few Of the
public and private qualities which, as
time passes, leads the public to u higher
appreciation of John S:rohm, James
Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-The situation on Change

everywhere a stubborn dissemination to yield

heavy to beinfuenced by the manipulations of
the bulls, and too obstinate to sink beneath
the weight of the "bears" who number now
probably two-thirds of the entire local crowd.
Wheat is low," remarked half hearted "bull'

lower; still, under present influences there is
nothing in the world to make it go up
A concerted movement among the "bears
this morning resulted in great deal of wheat
being thrown on the market; it was too readily
taken, however, to produce the desired effect,
although a6 the close decline to so 5Sc for the
May option was subbornly conceded. Most of
the time the fluctuations were hardly sufficient
to pay brokers' commissions, effectively barring
out the country traders. Although wheat is
generally tn ought to be low, there seems, for
some reason, to be no great inclination to load
up heavily on futures, even among the most
confident bulls" Local spectators manifested
little enthusiasm when comparing notes for
mutual edifcation.

Speculation seems to be getting out of pro-

A Healing SaIve for Libel.

DETROIT Mich, Feb S.-James E. Scripps, of
the Detroit Evening News, yesterday paid to
Prof Donald Mclean, of the University of
Michigan, the sum of 500 OOO which was the
libel in the Superior Court here last fall. The
cause of the trouble was the publication in the
Evening News of certain articles taken from
Canadian papers, alleging criminal relations as
existing between the Professor and one of his
patients, married lady from Canada The case
attracted considerable attention, owing to the
prominent position held by the Professor, and
ended in the above verdict. Scrpps appealed to
the Supreme Court, but the verdict of the court
below was affirmed. Next he tried to procure
an injunction perpetually restraining Mclean
from collecting the amount because of conspiracy
on the part of the jury. This also failed.

of the Print Matthews murder He was muir

convinced of that point, they should go

many people think. A Southern

Mr.. Steele's Bill for the Benefit of Officers
and Enlisted Men Passed by the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Representative Steele,
of Indiana, won a victory in the House to-day
by securing the passage of his bill to pay of
fcers and enlisted men in the late war who
were commissioned and served as officers, but
who received no pay for their rank by failure to
be mustered, through no fault of theirs. The
bill as presented from the committee provided
that all officers and enlisted men who received
commissions and who performed services before
muster and who failed to muster because of no
negligence on their part should have pay of this
rank during the time of service with provlso
that this should not apply to officers who were
commissioned subsequent to June 20, 1885, and
that as to such officers they should have no pay,
unless their commands were to the minimum at
the time such officers and enlisted men were
commissioned
General Browne offered an amendment which
was adopted, striking out the proviso making it
applicable to all officers regardless of the date of
commission.
Speeches were made in favor of the bill by
Merrs. Browne, Stocksager and Steele The
bill, should it pass the Senate and become law,
will throw good many dollars to soldiers in In
diana as it effects thousands of them The
whole scope of the bill is to place officers and en-
listed men who were commissioned and did
active duty at the front, or were prevented from
doing said duty by reason of being sick in hos
pital or prisoner of war, or suffering from
wounds received in the line of duty, on an equal
footing with those who did active service.
