If the President elected by the Democracy en
forces or permits others to enforce these Recon
struction Acts, the Radicals, by the accession of
twenty spurious c-tnators and fifty Represent-
tires, will control both branches ot Congress, and
his administration will be as powerless as the
present one of Mr. Johnson's.
There is bat one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for the President
lect to declare these acts null and Toid, compel
the army to undo its usurpations at the South,
disperse the carpet-bag State Governments and
lect Senators and Representatives. The Ilouse
of Representatives will contain the majority of
Democrats from the North, and they will admit
the Representatives elected by the white people of
me utn, and witn the co-operauon or the Pres
ident it will not be difficult to compel the Senate
to submit ence more to the obligations of the
Constitution. It will not be able to withstand the
public judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly
expressed on this fundamental issue, and it is the
cure way to avoid all future strife to put the issue
plainly to the country. Frank P. Blair.
DEATH OF TOAD. STEVEXS. ,
The telegraph announces that old
Thad. Stevens died on the nisht of
the 12th inst. A little before he died
two colored preachers called and
prayed at his bed 6ide. Also, two
Sisters of charity administered the
baptismal rite of the Catholic church.
A few minutes ere his decease about
the last words he uttered as nearly as
we can gather he said that the great
national questions - now are recon
struction, finances and ,a railway sys
tem. On the 13th his remains, were
carried to the rotunda of thccapiiol,
where they remained in state till eight
o'clock next morning;0. The body was
attended by a detachment of Butler's
Zouaves, a colored military prganiza-.
tion of Washington city, preceded by
Gen. Eakin, Sergeant-at-arms :Brown.
Senator M'Donald of Arkansas, t)r.
Gray, chaplain of ike Senate, and a
few personal -friends of the deceased,
and some fortyor fifty-others j princi
pally colored.-1 The Zouaves, aforesaid
Acted asfa guard of honor.' " On the
14th, at 9; o'clock a. the funeral
look place ; after which the body was
-placed on board a car, which reached
Lancaster, Pa., at six o'clock that
evening.
It is customary with many writers
and speakers, to traduce public men
while living, but when they die to
eulogize them to the skies, always
landing them safely in Abraham's
bosom. But we have never been
guilty of such folly; and while our
head is warm we never will.
Our opinion of Thad. Stevens can
be quickly given. lie was a bold,
talented, unscrupulous, fanatical and
malicious man. He vfts the great
leader of the Radical party, and he
was nearly always-in advance of his
party. When he first announced his
theory of Reconstruction many of his
own party denounced it and its au
thor in no honeyed phrase; but in
Jess than six months they were all in
full chorus at his heels. It is quite
probable that if he had died at the
time, or soon after Lincoln did, there
would have been no serious opposition
to President Johnson's policy of Re
construction. But old Thad. was not
satisfied. The South must.be punish
ed ; Radical supremacy and power
must be retained ; negroes must be
enfranchised; their former masters
must be disfranchised and humbled
in the dust ; oppression and tyranny
must be the rule, and clemency and
mercy the exception. To attain these
objects he trampled ruthlessly and
unscrupulously upon the Copstitu
tion, publicly acknowledging that he
nd his party were acting outside of
that instrument; he swept aside ev
ery barrier, regardless alike of pre-
cedent, nonor, decency or law.
Through his efforts and under his
leadership the Executive and Judicial
departments of the Government were
divested, to a great extent, of their
constitutional powers and preroga
tives; and iinally he attempted to
remove the President by. Impeach
.ment ; but in this, thank God, he ig
jiominiously failed. Some call him a
statesman ; but this is air error. A
real, sound and true statesman advo
cates only such measures as are wise,
humane, just and lawful He never
seeks to gratify any passion, such as
malice or revenge, under cover of the
Jaw, and the public weal. Thad.
Stevens did ; in the Reconstruction
and other measures of which he was
the author and fiery advocate is em
bodied -more deviltry and 'absolute
tyranny than ever was conceived in
the brain of the arch-fiend himself.
Had he lived in the days of the
Of
French Revolution he would have
been a Danton or Robespierre ; and,
like them he would have expiated his
crimes Ttpotrtho guillotino, Instead of
dying peaceably upon his bed, a nat
ural death. In his privato life Thad.
Stevens example was not altogether
worthy of imitation. In religion ho
was an infidel and bold blasphemer ;
and this trait of his character some
times cropped out in his speeches to
such a degree that the religious press
of tho country denounced him for it,
though in most instances they were
his zealous political supporters. Tho
telegraphic dispatches speak of his
"family," and some may infer that ho
had a lawful wife and children. But
this is not true. "Mrs. Thad. Stov
ens," was a mulattto woman who for
some years lived with him as his mis
tress and housekeeper. Previously to
this arrangement sho was tho wife of
a negro barber of Harrisburg whoso
name was Smith j but sho preferred
to be the concubine, mistress or para
mour of old Thad. to remaining the
lawful wedded wife of this black
knight of tho razor. Stevens dressed
her well, indulging her in rich silks,
and satins, diamond breast-pins, plen
ty of " pm-money," and entrusted to
her .hands his safe key. Some timo
ago Henry WardBecchcr publicly ut
tered this sentiment: "Wo must im
part a healthier and more pleasing
hue to the complexion, and more mus
cle and strength to tho physical de
velopment of our pale-faced, puny
white race, by infusing into it the rich
and glowing blood of the African,
with whose amorousness and fecun
dity we can contract the growing and
alarming tendency to physical decay
and failure of offspring, in our native
white population. The rich, warm
blood of the tropics blends harmoni
ously with our cold, northern cur
rent." Old Thad. Stevens and his
nigger wench were only practicing
what - this high priest of Radicalism
had publicly promulgated. " Only
this and nothing more."
Wo might extend this biographical
notice indefinitely; but wo will de
sist. The old sinner is dead now. No
more will he lead" the Rumps of Con
gress no more will he "reconstruct,"
unless he attempts to do so in the Plu
tonian regions whither he has gone.
Xo more will he impeach unless he
attempts that gamp on old Sooty. No
more . will . he hold gentle dalliance
with his nigger wench, nor "bathe his
fingers" in her kinky hair ! Malicious,
turbulent old sinnertyrant .of the
first water blasphemer, and contem
ner of everything good violator of
all law, human and divine lecherous

Senator Fowler's Defence.
Senator Fowler of Tennessee., was one
of the seven radicals who voted against
tho impeachment cf President Johnson,
and has had his share of abuse from the
radical leaders for so doing. As Senator
Fowler has always been true to his party,
was never anything elae but a radical,
naturally enough he does not feel like
tamely submitting to denunciation from
demccratic renegades, like Logan, Butler,
& Co. In a letter which we find printed
at length in our exchanges, Senator Fow
ler says :
" I can hare do interest in a scheme to usurp
my government by a few bold, bad conspirators.
The whole house of representatives is under the
lead of those good old democrats, B. F. Butler
and John A. Logan. They are the same men
now that they were in I860, and before. In our
bouse, Wade.'Sumner and their satellites lead the
revolutionary movement here."
It must be humilating to all really hon
est and sincere radicals, like Senator
Fowler, to reflect that his party are led by
men who were the fast, open, red-mouthed
and peculiar friends and apologists of
Jen". Davis and rebellion in 18C0. But
so it goes. Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga., who
was the managing operator of Anderson
ville prison, has become a leader in the
radical party, and probably has more
friends in that party to-day than Senator
Fowler or any other man who was always
a radical.
It is stated that Mr. D. W. Voorhees
has consented to be a candidate for con
gress in the Seventh district of Indi
ana, now represented by a member of the
"stamped" Washburne family. It is
hoped that the statement is true. Mr.
Voorhees is one of the ablest public men
in tho west. If nominated by the dem
ocracy in his district, he will be elected;
and his election will not only reduce the
number of Washburnes in Congress by
one, but his influence on the side of pop
ular liberty will counterbalance that of
the remaining ten or a dozen Washburnes
on the side of Jacobinism.
Idaho Election. The Boise Demo
crat, of a late date, brings glorious intel

took place recently in Idaho Territory.
The Democracy have elected Shafer,

the Radical candidate but - tho - bolter,

THE RAIXBOAD
During tho week past a small party
of railroad men, under tho direction of
Mr. Douthit and Mr. Burrngo, havo been
in and around Albany, locating tho Rail
road. An article, which wo publish elso
where, from tho local editor of tho Her
ald, shows what the Company aro doing
near Portland. They are at work in good
faith and real earnest ; and thoy dc&igu
having tho entire road graded, this fall,
from Portland to Eugeno. Our citizens
will bo called upon, at tho proper timo, to
subscribe 810,000 for tho benefit of tho
Road to be paid when tho grading shall
have been completed, not before Every
capitalist, who has tho good of tho coun
try at heart every one who consults his
own best interests will subscribo what
ever he can for this purpose
There is considerable anxiety manifest
ed by some relative to the exact location
of the road. They. want to know just
where it will run iu Albany. In answer
we say that it is by no means certain that
the Road will run into or near our city at
all, all reports to tho contrary notwith
standing. Unices fair and rcasonablo in
ducements bo held out tho Road will not
como here, but will run out towards Sand
ridge, thus saving a largo outlay of mon
ey by running in a straight lino and ma
terially lessening the distance ; and thus,
also, building up a rival town in that lo
cality. Nor would tho evil so far as Al
bany is concerned, stop at this. Once
let a rival town start up out that way, and
it would not be long ere tho question of
the removal of the county scat wouljl be
agitated; and in due time it may carry;
for there is no doubt that, outsido of a
circle of eight or ten miles from Albany,
there is a very general feeling of latent
hostility to it; a feeling that it would be
just as well to locate tho county ecat
somewhero else; and this sentiment would
be fostered and encouraged by such a
movement. Let those who arc deeply
concerned those who have large inter
ests at stake look well to this matter.
We onco believed that the Railroad
might be a humbug ; but we now have
good grounds for believing, first, that the
Road will be built, and that, too, speedi
ly; secondly, that tho contractors can
build it without any aid from those
on the line cf the road ; and thirdly that
they are not there foro compelled to run
by or into any given point, Lecauso they
are measurably independent of foreign
aid.
As this question will soon be fully pre
sented to the people by tho authorized
agents of the Road, we forbear discussing
it more fully at present.
Let the people take hold of this mat.

ing before and after I heard from him last
fall, lie is to-day the foremost man in our

the hoad of our statesmen. He commands
my entire confidence. I would -rather
trust him than myself with the next four
years, lou know lam sincere, iuako
him feel this, and that ho can rely on me
and my friends. I have a natural pride,
an honest pride, in the good will of my
countrymen ; but you know better than
any one else, that it is neither egotistical
nor overruling, and that I am ready and
anxious to give up the nomination to any
body who can got ono single vote mere
than myself. Express all this frankly to
the Governor, but delicately, and let him
understand my views cf men and meas
ures as I havo frequently given them to

Negro NutTi-Kge.
If anybody supposes that the Republi
can party is not irrevocably committed to
the doctrine of negro uflagc, let him
read the following delightful extract
from a lcadiog Republican paper in the
West:
"The fools are not all dead, but sur
vive btill in sufficient force to control the
action cf the democratic party, and to
dah out the little remnant ot biains and
lifo that yet remains to it against the im
pregnable battlement of eual nuffragc."
For one wo feel disposed to risk the
slaughter which opposition to this kind
of mongrclUm may inflict upon tho De
mocracy. It has not amounted to much
in years pa&t. Tbo Democracy dashed
against it last year in several of the
States, and wc think camo out with the
honors of victory. Fifty thousand in
Ohio, thirteen thousand in Kansas, fire
thousand in Connecticut, three thousand
in Minnesota, and thirty-eight thousand
in Michigan, against negro suffrage, don't
look as though tho Democracy were in
any danger of being il brained," on that
question, right away. If tho Radical
leaders feci disponed to continue this
question as a party issue, as they did last
year, they will find any number of hon
est Republicans who will again vote
against it and also against the candidates
of the party that has made it the " fun
damental principle " of their platform.

Grant was driven from the army for his

unmatched in history. G rant stands accus
ed of an unmanly falsehood by the uncon
tradicted evidence of the rrcgident and
Cabinet. Washington was all his life active
and decided in politics, with fixed views
and decided opinions. Grant declares
that he has no policy, novor took any in
terest in politics, and prefers to talk of
horses, cigars and bull pups. From long
training in public bustnoss, intimate
knowledge of tho principles of free gov
ernment, clear though somewhat too ar
bitrary views of the obligations of individual-
to the nation, Washington was emi
nently fit to govern. Grant has never

from the consuming wrath of the people
under the shield of a military chieftain.
But will this avail them 1 Who is this
chieftain 7 Is he proved or known as a
statesman? Is there anything in him to
make ambition virtuous '( Comrades, you
know him and I know him. His great

fortuity, a compromise between abler and
better men. His passivity and mallea
bility, together with his public character,
render him a fit instrument in the hands
of the Radicals with which to push their
revolutionary schemes.
As an aspirant to the Presidency he
should, under existing circumstances, be
viewed as an actual menace to the repub

the practice of political deception in his

the country are on the whole quite cheer
ing. The wheat crop is larger than last
year in Ohio, Virginia, New York, Penn

Tho quality is regarded as excllcnt in

In North Carolina, Delaware and Ver

General Kvarts has submitted an opiiion,
stating that a vacancy exists in the office
of Collector of New Oorlcans, which the
President has power to fill, the commis

sion of the Senate.
Washington, Aug. 17. Attorney
General Kvarts rendered his opinion on
the question of the appointment of a Col
lector for Alaska, lie says the office
should be set in operation at once unless
some legal impediment to filling it exists.
"I do not find it embraced within the
operation of the Tenure of Office act,
under the accepted construction of the
Constitution and the authority of the
President, I have no doubt of his power
to grant a commission to the Collector of
Customs for Alaska, which shall expire
at the end of the next session of the Sen
ate." Chicago, Aug. 17. The J?ejullican'$

Washington, Aug 17. The treaty
between tho United States and China, re

transmitted to the Chinese Government
for opproval. Therefore, tho ratification
of the treaty can't be immediately ex

day at the State Department with Seward,
and received a portion of his instructions.
His other instructions will be prepared
previous to his departure for Mexico,
which will not take place, probably, until
the latter part of next month.
The recently ratified convention lor

Bitters are the best in use. I tried them for dys-
pepsia in 1SC3, and they cured me. It was not
faun t'iat did it, tor I bad no faith in them; I tried
them to please a friend. I had been prostrated for
several weeks with dyspepsia wnd chronic diarrhea.
I expected to die but ls than one bottle so far
restored me that I could attend to my business.
Last October I overworked myself, which resulted
in a return of the same disease, accompanied witii
broucniat atiection, wben I again used your Bitters.
and was soon restored to health. I have recom
mended them to hundreds of my acquaintances,
and have never known them to fail in effecting
speedy cure.

I was advised to use your Bitters, Which I did,
they proving of great benefit to me. I believe had

Messrs. Hostettcr A Smith Gentlemen: I have
received so much benefit from using your Bitters
that I feel in duty bound to give my testimony to
theCgreat virtue. I have been in very poor health
for more than two years afflicted with indigestion
and loss of spirits." I tried a great many medicines,
but failed to find any relief.' Finally, I was per
suaded to try your Stomach Bitters,' aad found my
health greatly improved. I continued to use then
for some time, and was restored to perfect health.
I make this statement for the benefit of those who
are suffering with a similar disease.
Yours, respectfully, J. M. BOREN.
Such is the tenor of the correspondence received

this late day to publish elaborate testimonial! as
a means of pushing this great National Specific.
It has obtained a firm hold on the confident of
tfce public, and reached Us present position as a
Standard Preparation, of the best class, through
the legitimate medium of experimental demon
stration. No one ventures to impugn its medicinal
merits. They are everywhere confessed.
