MISCELLANEOUS.
Clreat Speech of ifoa. Thaddeus
Steveas. .-rr.i.v
The following able'address was delirered
In the liouse of RepreseDtatives on Tuesday,
the 9th' inst., by IIod. Thaddeus Stevens,
during the debate ott tho Reconstruction
bill introduced by him into the House, and
which was finally adopted by a vote of , 119
to 81:- ..,;, ;; .;. ,", -'
Mr. Stevicns, of Pennsylvania, closed the
aeDate, saying ! . l conies tuat a smaii por
tion of the blame for tha acts of the Presi
dent, since Congress adjourned, may be di
rected to Cone'reas, in using improper lan
guage in the bill, and that was owing to an
indistinct knowledge of the country which
we i were legislating for. If we bad all
agreed, as we have since Agreed, that tho
States lately in rebellion were conquered
territory, and subject to this natioq as con
nuered territorv : and if we had treated them
accordingly,-we should have had tout 'very
little trouble in reconstructing tnis uovcrn
ment upon the principles of tho admission
of new States but we were not all perfectly
prepared for it in our understanding of the
laws of nations, nof is it wonderfVil that we
should have ; been .thus . wandering in our
VieWS. w, , fr-l i f .1-, " !
I will state what J suppose to have been
our real condition. Tbe nation was afflicted
with a civil war, which for a time was an
insurrection, which divided its sway. Some
twelve millions of inhabitants, claiming that
they no longer belonged to this Union, set
up an independent government. They
formed all the machinery of a government,
both of a national government and of a State
under that national government, and they
raised their armies to defend their preten
sions. -:..-!
We, at the period when we declared a
blockade, admitted them to be not an in
dependent nation, but an independent bel
ligerent, rising above insurrection, and en
titled to all the privileges, and subject to all
the' liabilities of an independent belligerent.
The nations of Europe so treated them. We
so treated them. In short, there can be no
doubt of tbe fact. We were then at war as
two independent nations. It depended on
the conqoeror whether ' be would treat the
one that was vanquished After the war as a
vanquished nation, or whetherho, should
punish .bim for violation of the sovereign
rights -of the nation in addition, -and - we
conquered. f -, i .
What did we conquer ? We conquered
the Confederate Government ; we conquered
all the States forming the Confederate Gov
ernment; wo conquered a government which
ny us own declarations owed no alleeiance
to tho Government of tho United States.
That they should pretend after that they
had one right, under the Constitution, which
they had thus repudiated and. attempted
to destroy, and that they were, still States
within the Union, as asserted bv the Gentle
man from Wisconsin (Mr. Eldride, looks
like a bold absurdity. Yet that was the
doctrine of tho President that is the doc
trine which gentlemen are fighting about.
we declared them to be conquered pro
vinces; we were treating them under mili
tary law. JNow, what is the law in reference
to provinces conquered from a foreicrn in
dependent belligerent f
When you conquer from a foreign nation
or from an independent belligerent the terri
tory that is conquered . is governed by mili
tary power by tho commander-in-chief of
the army (who, in this case, was the Presi
dent), until the legislative power of tho na
tion shall have spoken and directedwhst
laws suaii govern ; but tbe moment that tbe
legislative power of the nation interposes
the military authorities cease to exist, and
the commander-in chief of the army has no
more to say to it than a corporal in the ranks
has to say jnst what that legislative power
orders him to say. He has to do just what
that legislative power orders him to do, and
he can do nothing else. ' , ;
a great deal is said about the President
acting as commnnder-in chief of the army
until he was superseded in his authority by
Congress. I have no fault to find with his
maintaining military rule, but he assumed
to exercise legislative powers ; be assumed
to establish governments; he assumed to
establish governments ; he assumed to ap
point civil officers; he assumed that con
quered territory should receive back pre
cisely the Constitution of the loysl States,
ami ne entitled to all tbe privileges they ever
had. No part of, that came within the
power of the commander-in-chief of tho
army.
It Con cress sends as armv to nuell the
Indian war in Nebraska, Congress orders
them to go there. What do the officers do 1
They pass no act of legislation. . Tbey go
there and order these troops when to charge
and when to retreat. They drill them ; they
put them through all the military exercises.
They can do no act which looks like regu
lating tne object of the war or the object of
the army. lhe Constitution takes express
reservation to show that there can bo no
such power. , It expressly : declares that
Congress shall have power to, m.ake all rules
and regulations for the government of the
land and naval forces of the United States.
The Executive has nothing to do with it.
The Judiciary has nothing to do with it.
Congress lathe onlv power 1 Congress has
enacted rules and articles of war. Can the
President of the United States interfere
with them t Can he add new articles, new
rules, new regulations f No - such 'thing.
The military, officers . that were sent as
commanders in these States were simply ap
pointed as agents of Congress.
. To be sure, originally tha bill provided a
military supervision simply, and we had in
tended to iqUow it up With a law putting
reconstruction into the bands , of civilians.
This is what I should have done, and what
I had been prepared for ; but if we choose
to adopt officers of tbo army if Congress
chooses to take them from tbe army and to
assign them to that duty, they then become
agents of Congress, and neither the Presi
dent nor any person under, him,, ha the
right to interfere, or do anything but exact
ly what Congress has said. "It can be re
duced, I tUiok,to a plain proposition : That
uongress, ana uongrest alone, was the only
power that can , ecopstrucWwas the only
power that can admit tbesa outlylug States.
I deny that th President had any right
to call upon the Attorney Generator upon
any other branch of the Wovernment, to in
terfere with any tct'of such reconstruction.
There was but one appeal, and that . was to
the agents sppointed by Congress or to Con.
gress. It ought to be known before this to
the President. I trast-it is known in every
colored, school n this District that the Con
stitalioa of toe United States does not ap
ply to any Territory.' The States are parties
to ths constiution. Tbey arc tbe contract
ing powers. They are the substantive body.
Territory, however, acquired by purchase
or conquest, or by inheritance, is the proper
ty only of that substantive power, and that
power bound up by the Constitution, that
power alone is governed by the Constitu
tion, but docs not extend for any purpose
1 . . i i :
mm any lerruory or acquircu pruriuuo.
wny, then, talk about the constitution re
gulatinir the action of Congress in a Pro
vince, in a Territory, or in a conquered
State, whether conquered from a legitimate
State or an illegitimate State I I may be
asked how one would treat the Confederate
States of America. Just as Congress chooses,
They are our property their citizens are
our subjects. Their lives and their liberties
are subject to tbe supreme will of this body,
always controlled by the laws of nations,
the laws of war, aud the laws of humanity.
There is no other power on earth, there is
lo branch of the Government, there is no
power in tbe Government, except what I
have mentioned, that has any right to inter
fere or to say one word on the subject. If
you wish to punish the malefactors tor vio
lated majesty, that is another matter. Pos
sibly you might do so through your courte
of justico ; at least you might attempt it,
but I don't suppose you can do it. But
there is one thing clear. That territory not
being yet declared by Congress to be in a
state of peace or restoration, it is under tbe
military authority ot the Government, and
any tribunal constituted by the military au
thority, any military tribunal, any court
martial, can try any one of those who belong
ed to the belligerent forces. -
Jefferson Davis, or any man of the army
of tbe Confederacy, conquered by us, is this
day subject to trial by military tribunal. If
I had my way I would long ago have or
ganized a military tribuuul, under military
power, and I would have put Jefferson Da
vis and all the members of his Cabinet on
trial for tbe murders at Andersonville, the
murders at Salisbury, and tbe shooting
down of prisoners of war in cold blood.
EVcry man of them Is responsible for these
crimes. . It was mockery to try that wick
ed fellow, Wirz, and mako him responsible
for acts which the Confederate Cabinet was
guilty of. i Of course, they should be con
demned. Whether tbey should be executed
afterwards I give no opinion. I would car
ry out such punishment as, in my judgment,
tbe justice ol the country required. I would
carry it out through the legal tribunal I have
mentioned, and which are as much tbe legal
tribunal of the land as tho Supreme Court
of the United States. This is my view ex
actly of what would be logical. As to the
question of confiscation, I think that a man
who bas murdered a thousand men, who
has robbed a thousand widows and orphans,
who has burned down a thousand bouses,
escapes well if, owning a hundred thousand
dollars, he is fined fifty thousand dollars as
a punishment and to repair his ravages. I
said before that I was not in favor of san
guinary punishment. I trust, in saying that,
that 1 need not be supposed to condemn
them when they are necessary. For instance
the clamor that has been raised against the
Mexican Government for the heroic execu
tion of murderers and pirates somo ap
plause aud clupping of hands, tollowud by
some hisses that clamor finds no favor
with me. 1 think that while be bas gone
far enough, though not half as far as ho
might be justified in going, yet there is no J
law nor policy under heaven, and uo sense
of justice that will condemn that really he
roic, much-enduring man who, for six
years, has been hunted with a reward upon
his bead ; has been driven from one end of
bis empire to another, until be got to the
very border ; who has no parallel in history
that I know of except it be William of
Orange, who was driven from island to is
land, and from sand-patch to sand-patch,
by just about as bloody a persecutor as was
to be found in Maximilian when he de
creed that every man warring agaiust him
should be shot down without further trial.
I am not going to shrink from saying
that I think such punishment proper. I do
not say nor do I ask that anybody should
be executed in this country. There has got
to be a sickly humanity here which I dare
not get alongside of, for fear I might catch
it. Laughter. And it is . now held by one
of the most liberal and enlightened gentle
men in the country 1 mean Uerritt sniituj
that we should even pay a portion of the
damages inflicted on the rebels and pay a
portion of tho rebel debt. Laughter. I
sball come some day to have an argument
with Horace Ureely about that, and there
fore I need not say anything further. I be
lieve I have (aid enough to explain my
views on the subject, and now I ask for a
vote.
As Mr. Stevens concluded his remarks
there was considerable applause on the part
of the members.
Tnis Word Money. Prof. Whitney, of
Yale College, in the last JWio Englander,
thus gives the history of our word "money:"
"It is of French origin, brought into Eng
land by the Normans of William the Con
queror. Tbe French language derives it,
along with must of its other stores of expres
sion, from the Latin, where it boa the form

they accordingly built a temble to Juno

I hev alius bed an incorrect idea uv Bos
ton. I spozed Boston to be strate-laced,
moral to a degree not to be understood by a
Dimocrat, and Puritanicle. I wuz mistaken.
There is ez heavy a per cent, nv men in
whom His Eggslency and I ken taik dellte
ez thore is in any city in the country, ez the
following incidents, wich came under my
notice will show :
Ez we wnz a going through Franklin street
a man stepped up to the carriage rather hes
itatinly "Mr" President," sed he.
"Well," said His Eggslency, turnln full
upon him.
The site nv the nose uv tho Step Father
uv his Country renshured bim.
"Mr. President, wood yoo like some
punch t" .
"Punch 1 Certainly. But hevn't yoo suthin
stronger, to Isy theYoundashen with?"
''Certainly 1" aud he pulled a bottlo uv
brandy from his right hind pocket, and the
great man took an obscrvoshen uv the sky
thro the bottom uv it, wich lastid a minit.
I never agin will doubt that the material to
make Dimocrisy uv exists in a country wher
they come at yoo with punch, and hev
brandy bottles in ther coat pockets.
Bokays were showered upon us. One old
gentleman, who sot two hours in a chair
waitin to present us with his, finally histed it
at us. The fact that ther wuz a note in it askin
for a posishen fur the generous giver, don't
detract anytbin Irom tbe valyoo uv tbe gift.
When we got to the end of our trip ther was
a dray load uv bokays in our carriage and
in all but three uv them wuz tied up recom-
mcndaBhcns for the givers tor places. It s
better to hev sich missives enveloped in roses,
though the most thorns we git ain't got

whether or no wuz enny bottom to the
Northern Dimocrisy. Capt. McPeltcr sed
tbe Northern Dimocrisy was strong enuff to

for the purpose of considerin wat to do!
Sum few Longstreet, Governor Brown, and

wuz jist about to so declare, when Vallan

Voorhees, and a score or two more uv that
kind, rushed in and begged uv 'em to hold

And the Southerners whopped over to
their side snd yelled fiercely, "No submis
sion 1" and immejitly the entire bilin uv
'cm startid North with these men to ascer
tain the strength and carryin' capacity uv
the Northern Dimocrisy. Methawt the
party traveled and traveled, until
finally they come to a vast plain in Ken
tucky, onto wich wuz extendid prostrate
tbe form uv a Giant. It wuz a Giant im
mense in statoo, but emaciated to the last
degree. Ilia limbs hed bin strong, his teeth
terrible, and his trunk massive, but it wuz
plane to see that he wuz pegged out and a
look at its face showed why it wuz so. Dis
sipation hed redoost him to belplessuis.
His face wuz bloatid and bloo, his eyes wuz
sot and ghastly, his chest wus holler and
sunken, his legs like pipe stems, and ulcers,
boils, sores, brooeea and contooshens kiv
ered hint from bed to foot, and be drawed
bis breath with a effort.
Ho lay a groanin and a groanin. Randall
wus a tenderly feedin bim out uv a huge
bottle labeled . "Appiotments," . wicb ap
peared to givo it temporary strength, but
the effect uv that wuz lost by President
Johnson's dosin him with an onensiv smel
lin mixture labeled "Policy," every swaller
uv wich wood throw him into a spasm.
Gov. English was rnbbin one arm with a
liniment Randall gave him, and be succeed

"What is this!" askt tbe Soutlsfrncrs.
"Northern Dimocrisy l"scd English, rub
bin away vigorously,
"Is this the Giant wich Is to carry us !"
sed the Southern gentlemen, viewin the dis
gustin objick doubtfully.
"Certainly 1" said Johnson. "Now can t
you git up t" said be, to the prostrate bein,
given it a very large swaller out uv bis bot
tle. Tbe gisnt made an effort, but flopped
down agin like a dish-rag.
'Gentlemen I" sed Vallandigham, "we
shel hev to call upon yoo to assist in settin
bim onto bis feet, and then it'll be all rite
with him. He's bin this way afore."
Accordingly, tbe Southerners gathered
around bim to lift bim up. His arms, I
notist, wm marked respectively Connecti
cut and Delaware, and his legs Maryland
and Kentucky, and In them ther wus
strength, for ea soon ez tbe Innocent South
rners got near enuff he wrapped them limbs
around 'em, and sed-'
"Liftt" .
"We cant," sed thsy. : .:.-. :.. i
"Yoo must," sod hs. - "I got into this

Hist me I" .i - .
Those caught coodent get -away and the
others generously com to ther aid, and ma
kin a terriblo effort they raised the half dead
bein onto their shoulders, holdin ther noses
meanwhile, and prepared to start. Ez the
percession was about to move, Vallandig
ham remarked, "Stop a minit, gentlemen?"
and loaded as he was with his war record
he clambered up ther shoulders and took
seat on the carkiss. Voorhees, iist as badly
encumbered, did likewise, and so did the
Woods, both uv em, and poor old Jimmv
Bookannan, Seymour, Toucy and a hundred
or so more, the dnfortinit bearers sweatin

Raymond and Thurlow Weed wich had been
hangin round, got out from under jist in
time to save themselves.
Tbe Southerners got out from under tlm
putrid mass, tho almost smothered bv the

little uv it, ez they had been around it. It
staggered Johnson some, but be had bin ac
customed to suthin approximatin very
closely to it in the old times and it didn't
seriously affect bim, but poor Randall, Sew

I wuz tryin to pull Randall's corpse out,
when tbe effort I was makin awoke me.
I aint altogether certain, but that dream
means suthin. When I think of it, it is
rather preposterus for us to hope the Nor

can't carry a singlo State uv their own ; jist
about ez preposterus ez it is for them to look

onto my mind. Suthin can't come out of

Tbe result of the last three months has
fairly demonstrated that a restoration of the
shad fisheries in tbe Susquehanna river is
a died tact. Ibcre is no longer any doubt
about the matter. Shad were taken far "up
stream" in localities where they had not ap
peared since the erection of dams in tbe
river ; while tbo number of hsti taken in tbe
tributaries of the Susquehanna this .season,
proves that tho labors of Col. Worrsfll, Fish
Commissioner, in altering dams, have been
attended with practical results far beyond
his own calculations, as well as exceeding
tbe most sanguine expectations of the oldest
inhabitant fisherman. But while the alter
ation of the dams, by the introduction of
"steps," for the passage of fish, is working
thus cheeringly successful, we notice that
loud complaiuts are being uttered in refer
ence to tbe erection of "fish baskets" at
points along the river. These "baskets" are
a nuisance under all circumstances. A law,
approved tho 11th of April, 1825, makes it
the duty of constables in tbe counties
through which the Susquehanna and Juniata
rivers, or any of their tributaries flow, to re
move all fish baskets, fish dams or pounds
in said streams, and if any constable or de
puty constable refuse to remove such dams,
baskets, or pounds, and being legally con
victed of such neglect, in the court of quar
ter sessions, he shall pay tho sum of fifty
dollars. It will be seen that it is the duty
of constables and deputy constables to re
move the obstructions in the shape of fish
baskets, which are now doing so much mis
chief in retarding a restoration of the shad
fisheries in the Susquehanna river. There
is still an older law than that of 1823 in
force on tho subject. An act approved
March 16, 1807, contains the following sec
tion :
"Sec. 2. And be it further enacted ly the
authority aforesaid, That if any person or
persons shall make use of any device by
means of ropes, cords, plank, timber, boards,
shingles, brush, straw or stones, or shall
throw up any banks of sand, or other earth
in tho river Susquehanna or its branches, or
in any manner whatever, make use of any
craft, contrivance or design to confine fish,
to at, or in any pool or fishing place, or to
prevent the free passage of fish, or by means
of any kind of drug, shall destroy tbe fish
in the said river or its branches as aforesaid,
each person so offending, or aiding or as
sisting therein, being lawfully convicted
thereof, shall forfeit and pay for each and
every such offense, the sum of one hundred
and fifty dollars with costs pf suit."
We quote these laws for the benefit of
these parties who persist in keeping up
fish baskets and fish dams in the Susque
hanna, when it is plain, that such nuisances
are injurious to a restoration of tbe great
fisheries heretofore existing in that stream.
Our advice it to those who are laboring for
this important restoration, in all cases to
enforce the law against tho parties guilty of
constructing and maintaining these dsms
and baskets. This course will abate the
nuisance. llarritburg Telegraph. .

Quality or Fruit. It is important that
the fruit be well grown and well ripened, as
it then contains more and Holier juice for
preservation. Small, half green, imperfect
or half decayed specimens should be rejec
ted. - - '
Jars or Cans. Glass jars ar now gener
ally employed; earthen succeed equally well,
and arc somewhat cheaper, but the frujf,
covers have been invented, possessing vari-
fn stEfi0' mWi The-f nt divided
into three classes-those consisting of cork,
those made of metal or glass, with cemeni
lining and those with India rubber lining.
The objection to cork is porosity, requiring
ft large amount of cement, through which
the air pressing la apt to impart iu flavor
to the fruit. The India-rubber linings are
the most convenient and easilv anniid !,.
thsy should be well made, and form a perfect
fit. Many that have been offered in market
not being tight, have caused tbe spoilage of
the frnit. Different modes are employed to
remove the covers in takino- out tho frn!.
The corks should have two small and ofrnnr
cords placed under them, for lifting them
wui., vuu cuus in wnicn snouid be covered
with cement, to prevent the admiaaicn nf
sir ; or a round piece of cotton cloth may be
used for the same purpose. Pincers msy be
used for drawing the cord or cloth in taking
the covers off. Tbe covers may be loosened
with the India-rubber lining by inserting
the point f knife.
IIeatinc the FrtttT. The fruit should
be heated to ncurlv about h hniiin
of water, but should not be made to stew or
boil, as this would break the form of each
specimen, and reduce the whole to a mass.
For common family purposes, tbe best way
is to place the fruit in a tin pan, with about
as much sugar as will give it a proper flavor,
anH iliM a aT ... .
u iucu bci. iuo pan in the top of a stove
boiler where it will fit as a lid; then let ths
water boil beneath the fruit until the whole
is well heated through. Km.ll fPI,ta
less time than large ones.
About fifteen minutes will be needed for
strawberries and raspberries twenty minutes
for cherries, currants, peaches and plums,
and half an hour for apples, pears and quin-
Fillino Jars. While the heating of the
fruit is going on 'nlaca thrpn
jars in another boiler, and pour in cold or
moflnrarelv warn. :n - , .
j , lu nal,c ull lt rises nearly to
their necks. A heavy weight, as bricks,
flat irons,or flat stones, must be placed on
these jars to hold them down ; and it is
safest to place a few small stripes of wood
on tho bottom of the boiler before setting
the jars in, to prevent the cracking by the
heat below. When the water about the jars
CMa,?eirly. r,eac,ied boiling, they then may
be filled with the fruit by means of a dipper.
Tnis work is facilitated by providing a wide
tin funnel, made on purpose to fit the mouth
of the jar, and it should have a handle a
foot long, to prevent any danger of burning
or scolding the hand. When the jars are
full, the contents should be slightly shaken,
to start up any bpbbles that may remain,
and the water allowed to boil slightly about
them for a few minutes. Tho covers should
be then applied and made air-tigbt, at the
moment tbe jars are withdrawn from tbe
water. Before apDlvins the cover, the lars
should be so completely filled with fruit,
mac not tbe least air or space may remain,
but the whole be perfectly solid.
To save tbe hands from scalding, there
should be a pair of forceps made to fit the
neek of each jar, to grasp it readily in lift
ing it from the hot water.
Tbe juice of all small fruits furnishes
sufficient syrup with tbe sugar to fill all tbe
interstices ; but some larger and dryer sorts
require sometimes tbe addition of a portion
of syrup made by boiling a pound or two of
sugar in a quart of water.
Home persons, after having heated the
ars, fill them while thev are standing on
the table, and then replace them, and con
tinue the boiling for a few minutes, or until
every air bubble has passed away beforo
scaling them tight Either way will answer.
ii tue wore: is well done.
Cement. The best is made of one of tal
low mixed with about ten or twelve parts
of rosin. An increase of the tallow softens
tbe cement. The moet perfect India-rubber
linings obviously need no cement; with
corks it must be used freely and is indispen
sable. The best mode is the following, de
scribed in tbe American Agriculturist.
Small tin saucers or, "patty pans" are pro
cured, an inch more in diameter than ths
mouth of tbe jar these may be obtained
cheaply, by the quantity, of any tinman.

is crowded snugly in, and a coating of ce
ment is placed on tbe top. A portion ot tbe
melted cement is then poured into one of
tbe tin saucers, and the mouth of tbe jar
inverted, placed in it forming, as soon as
cool, perfect air tight cover,the saucer re
maining until tbe fruit is taken out of tbe
jars. Common tea saucers, and even black
ing boxes msy be used, instead of tin sau
cers.
Quantity of Sugar Required. Some
have stated thst tbey succeeded in keeping
the fruit without using any sugar; but in
ordinary practice it is safest to apply it, snd
it Is best to do so at once, rather man aeier
it until tbe fruit is used. Strawberries,
peaches, pine apples and quinces require
but a small quantity, five ounces to a quart
of fruit being sufficient. Cherries, plums,
raspberries and blackberries require more,
or from seven to eight ounces.
Btonr Jars. In the absence of common
jars, which could not be procured, friend
employed two gallons stone jars, wiin enure
success. Tbey were filled as already de
scribed, the fruit running out all round as
the lid was applied, so as to prevent any
vacancv or air. and the whole well cement
ed. After several months there wei opened
in perfect condition.
Tomatoes. These sre the easiest preserv
ed of all ripe fruits. They msy be kept en
tire by merely removing the skin , or, what
perhaps is better, as well as more economi
cal, stewed down to about balf their origi
nal bulk, as tbev are a very watery fruit
Strawberries need nut lew uiuuiea sous
ing ; cherries ft greater length of time ;
peacbea still longer, and should be well
done. , .
In order to determine whether tbe fruit
baa been well put up, when India-rubber
lining is used, lift them by tbe covers, or
apply ft few pounds' force to them. If the
cover come off the work bas not been well
done some air has been allowed to remain,
or the beating has been insufficient, in which
case tbe boiling must be done over again.
It is safest to examine them a second time,
in about a week. .
It is important that the iars, after the
whole process is completed, be placed in a
cool and rather dry place. If the tempera
ture is warm, tbey may spoil oy iermeow
tion ; and experience has full.T proved that
they mould in damp cellar. If tbe tem
perature were but ft few degrees above freez
ing, tbey would probably keep uninjured
fi.r vears There is no doubt that tbe apart
ment should sometimes have the credit
which is ascribed to a particular mode of
putting up.
Glass jars should be kept in dark place,
to exclude light. Autricut Fruit Culturut.
