Henry Winter Davis, born August 10,
1917. was elected a member OF the house
of representatives in 1854, the year of my
election. and he was re. elected to the
thirty fifth. thirty-sixth and thirty-eighth
congresses He was an exceedingly brill
iant and attractive man, clasSically ed
ncated. learned in the law, and, as
thought, the most eloquent speaker
in the house of representatives.
With Senator Ben. Wade OF ONO,
in 1864 he made the mistake OF being a
"kicker'' against the denomination OF
President Lincoln thinking the president
was too slow in conquering the Rebellion
He was distinguished member OF the
Committee of Ways and Means, and, with
Vim. A. Howard of Michigan, and myself,
was a member of the subcommittee on
the tariff doing excellent service.
Although not member of the house OF
representatives when he died. in 1865, a
eulogy was delivered upon him IN the
house of representatives, and at their re-
quest, by his former colleague, Hon. A. j
Gresswell This is, | believe, the only IN
stance where private citizen has been
thus hOnOred
have many of his genial letters; but
nearly all are so personal, having been
written for me only, that l shall offer but
a few for publication. After service OF
four wears, Mr.. Davis was at home for two
wears QS61-lS62) before he was again re-
elected. Our conduct then of the war not
being, at first, very successful, made oul
friends in the bOarder states, such as MT
Davis of Maryland, very sensitive. and
when neglected, provocative OF criticism

MY DEAR SIR:

MY DEAR SIR: , ,
[ confess that am by no means satisfied
with my silence touching Marshall's
speech. | had resolved to reply, but
friends who had elections approaching
begged me to keep silence, since l. should
be quoted against them and might embar-
.rass their canvass. | am always ready to
take any responsibility touching my own
interests, but / did not like to trouble
friends, and | was silent. The speech
produced it's bitter fruit in Kentucky.
The same spirit is now at work to force
repetition of the follies of 1856 on us.
Some men in the south, ambitious of de-
feat, or calculating on the election going
to the house, and everybody. going to them
there, are trying to forestall public opin-
ion in favor of certain aspirants to be
called opposition, but to be made as Mr..
Fillmore was made after driving off all the
north, and hope to accomplish success in
the mode above Indicated. | fear the
New Workers are as bad and impracticable
on the other side. May venture to hope
for once the extreme waNwardneSS and
perversity of men," which grieved Mr..
Webster so much, will not plague us with
the democratic yoke for another term.
There seems to be a good feeling in the
north west where the battle must be de-
cided, but we can tell nothing until men
get together in Washington.
Yours truly,
Aug. 1860. ii. WINTER DAVIS.

Thaddeus Stevens was born in Danville,
Vt, in 1892 He was graduated at Dart
mouth college in 1914, and subsequently
removed to Pennsylvania. where he be-
came prominent as a lawyer and poll
tician. Mr.. Stevens was elected to Con
gress in 1913 and 1850, as member OF the
house of representatives, and again IN
1852 and there continued to oe MEMBER
until his death in 1868.
Physically he was man of above the me-
dunn size, with a head and face indicative
of marked character; but, like Byron, he
had one club-fOot which forced him to
limp at every step, and sometimes, per-
haps, added a sting to his temper.
His antislavery opinions were most
conspicuous and from 1863 to 1868 he was
the radical leader, if not. the dictator, OF
the house of representatives, being equal
ly able in argument, wit and satire.
The antagonistic forces of freedom and
slavery of 1859 and 1860 appeared TO be
sharpening their swords and implements
for the impending great civil war one
day heard Mr. Spinner, afterward APP
pointed treasurer by President Lincoln,
offer to make a wager that there were not
less than three hundred loaded pistols in
the hall and galleries of the house.
1T was standing rule of the house that
members must speak from their seats.
One day Mr.. Stevens, while making a
southern members, had wandered into the
aisle and far down toward the area in
front of the speakers chair. he was at
once loudly called to order by those he
had offended, several leaving their seats
and approaching him as if to drive him
back Whereupon some of our side of the
house rushed up to his support. Being
not far away, and thinking he might be
. unmindfrbl of the rule, | got near enough
to advise him to return to his seat. II
SHALL" said he, when the speaker gives
the order; but do not obey the order OF
slave masters"
The next day it was reported that an
opposition member of the committee of
ways and means, of which Mr.. Stevens
was then chairman, had got near to him
with a sword cane in his hands, but, upon
the remark of some one that murderous
intenU was incredible, Mr.. Stevens ex-
claimed, perhaps SO, but d-n his propin-
guilty"
His manner and matter are illustrated
in this note:
GRAEFENBURG, Oct. 10Th, 1876.
Hon. j. S. MORRILL,.
Dear Sir Being still unhung, it seems
to be our duty to look little after the
hemp. 1t seems to me essential that we

day before we meet. Thursday at far
thest. Now as you are chairman, may ]
ask you to notify our friends of a caucus
on Thursday before congress meets.
We have certainly grave things to con-
slider and stern things to do, if we are
brave enough. If we are brave enough
Yes, there is the rub And how few brave
men there are! hope you are all well.
| am not quite so yet

select machinery for the water power

the great Magnolia hill tunnel project
now under way. They have so far
driven by hand 100 feet. eight feet in the

chinery and air drills are now required
to push this herculean enterprise. Cut.
ting the great veins of Magnolia at an

no personal property. The case was
held for adv isement.
Mrs Jane Livesay asked for abate-
ment OF personal property tax on $1,000.
The tax asso ssors acknowledged that a
clerical error had been made, and the
tax should have been assessed against

ON CHARGE OF THEFT.
Stone Taken Into Custody With an 0Vsrooat. Sup
posed 10 Have Been Stolen. in His Possession,

Late yesterday afternoon Detective
Merrill arrested Orrin Stone. man
about 80 years old. who claims TO be n
resident of Worcester Stone had in
his possession a nice black overcoat,
and this led To his arrest, as the de-
tective suspected that the coat was not
his property.
When Mr.. Merrill saw Stone with the
coat on his. arm he decided TO ask for
an explanation. as a coat like the one
carried by stone had been stolen from
the office OF the Mutual lhfe Insurance
Company I'm the Swarts building. That
the coat stone had is the one wanted
seems likely, but the owner is away,
and as yet the property is unidentified.
Mr. Parks, the agent of the company,
called. and after examining the coat
thought II was the one which had been
stolen. The police say that Stone is
the man who tried to switdle money
from an employe Of George Titcomb,
the South Water street lunch man,
about two months ago.
He had just been released from Jail,
and the detective department think that
he is the man who stole the coat from
the Swarts building.
