Thaddeus Stereos.
Thb American statesman Beeks exeoatlve po
sition, both the end and the means of
serving the nation. Our officials being ohoaen
from the people, by the people, and retarnlng
again to the people, are at onoe the masters,
servants, and representatives ef the constitu
ency to whioh they belong, and "office" be
comes the lofty aim of the patriot as well as
the desire of the ambitions man, or the sordid
prize of the oovetous at onoe the compliment
paid to worth, the homage to virtue, or that
"aop" of the earth earthy, flung in contempt
to tba ever-yawning jaws of the political Cor
berns. Thus the high and most truly repre
sentative funotion, the grand office of acting
and speaking tor a commnnity, and uniting in
a single individual the championship of the
rights, the redreseor of the wrongs, and the
exponent of the principles of the entire popu
lation of a city, conuty, or State has been
popularly regarded rather as the means of
aoquiring higher honors than as a crowning
glory in itself, and the legislative body be
comes a mere Btepping-stoue to the executive,
as if ezeoating the law were a nobler tank than
making it.
High official station, even if accidentally
Won or unworthily held, reflects a certain dis
tinction upon the individual. The eyes of
mankind are drawn towards the figure
mounted upon the pedestal, and the very
height of the elevation, while inviting envy
and provoking criticism, compels notice and
attraots homage. The chauces of office' have
made little men great by the happy aocident
Of connecting their names with great events,
Which they neither made nor marred; and
many a ministerial signature, unwittingly
affixed, has crowned with glory and renown a
name appended but in due coarse of official
routine.
Among the few who have fully recognized
the true worth of the legislative function,
Thaddeus Stevens has stood preeminent.
Rifling above mere partisanship aud all the
Shifting interests of the moment, he directed
the powers of a great intellect to the examina
tion and appreciation of our code of laws
their origin and meaning in the past; their
relations and weight iu the present, and with
a bold, free spirit dared what few others
dream of doing dared to seriously oousider
their effect upon the future. Penetrating the
very spirit and intent of the founders of our
Constitution, he years ago, bravely declared
slavery to be in dissonance with the "high
anthem of the free;" and when the advocacy
of such doctrines threatened to even destroy
Lis public career, boldly and earnestly as
saulted it as the insidious foe of our national
prosperity, as the serpent gnawing at the very
roots of the tree of liberty, blighting its fair
est blossoms, and threatening it with ultimate
destruction.
Subtle intelligence and keen apprehension
make the successful politician, but to these
the Great Commoner added a relianoe upon
principle. lie argued from the truth and
right to their inevitable results, and wa3 thus
lifted into a higher range of thought and wider
Sweep of vision than is ever vouchsafed to the
statesman who blindly devotes to "a party
what is meant for mankind;" while his firm
determination to work out these noble ends
prompted him to wisely maintain his connec
tion with a political organization rather than
to assume an independent "fanatioal" posi
tion which would deprive him of such sup
port. Justly estimating the duty incumbent upon
bis country, as the liberator and instructor of
the multitudes who were seeking her as a
refnge from tyranny and oppression, Thaddeus
Stevens, at an early day, advocated the ooin
mon school system, when it was bitterly
opposed, even by a large portion of his own
party, and to his anal is Pennsylvania princi
pally indebted for its early establishment and
subsequent improvement and extension.
When his life was drawing to its close, and
- that protracted warfare, in whih he had so
bravely fought, that inevitable struggle bs
. tween freedom and slavery, had at length
reached the bloody arbitrament of arms, he
again braved public opinion at a most critloal
moment. For long years he had foreseen this
dreaded oatastrophe, and hopiug against hope,
Wrought zealously to bring about the destruo.
tion of the evil by wiser means; but when the
War did come, he boldly advocated its stern
maintenance, and that the nation should freely
Spend its wealth in this struggle for its life,
and before the public was roused to apprehend
the necessity of the requirement, he urged the
assumption of all the onerous burdens of the
requisite taxation, and took the responsibility
Of proposing and advooating the most uu
popular form of internal revenue taxation.
Truly an American statesman, he also de.
fled that false idea of restricting the whole
oontinent to agricultural pursuits; he saw the
folly and sinfulness of. binding the young na
tion band and foot before a commercial supre
maoy of foreign powers. His clear brain made
its way through sniih speoious logio; he repu
diated the spurious ring of "free trade," and
demanded with uaabated zeal, through all the
fluctuations of party, a legal protection to the
inventive lntelleot and skillful bands of bis
ountrymen.
When the smoke bad rolled awiy frorr tie
battle field, when slaver was dead, and the
nation revivified, wLea In dread silence we
'stood up mate to . oount our -dead," and
vainly hoped that the sin so tenderly nursed
for years was slain . with 'air its" long train of
sad oonseqnenoes, it was again, the duty of
Thaddeus Stevens to sound the alarm, to
warn us of another battle with the same foe
In another field. He who was to guard us
proved false to his trust. ' By birth, by sta
tion, by oath bound to reunite his distraoted
country, Johnson treacherously plunged us
Into new perils, and the battle was renewed
with brains instead of ballets, with hearts
instead of hands.' Thaddeus Stevens beoomes
the leading and fitting representative of an
outraged people in arraigning the head Execu
tive of the nation for treason against the law,
and in the long series of measures by whioh
the triumph of the Congressional system of
reconstruotion was aohleved.
These eminent, peculiar, and long oonttnued
publio services tould only have been performed
by a man endowed with remarkable personal
qualities. Their seeds were sown in this sin
gular combination of rare intelleot, undaunted
courage, brilliant wit. devotion to the true
welfare of the human race, and Intense scorn
of the sophistries of ignoranoe and slavery,
which distinguished Thaddeus Stevens. By
bis death the nation has lost her great parltt-
nientarv leader, and freedom, iustije. anl
humanity their noblest advocate.
The Duty of all Jlepublicnns.
Tub Republican party in Pennsylvania a
shown by the result of the last election is in
the minority. There is in our State a ma
jority of some seven hundred votes against us,
and in our city about two tbxusand. Such being
the case, it is necessary for us to adopt a series
of tactics which will be adapted to our new po
sition. We can no longer count on an assured
two thousand in the State. We must fight
for all we get, and we cannot begin to fight
too soon. There is nothing so disastrous to a
party as to over-estimate its own strength,
and to slight that of its adversaries. Better by
far give too much credit to the opposition, than
deny them one iota of what they have.
Recognizing their full power, we call upon the
members of our party to work, and work at
once. There is now about two months be
tween to-day and the day of election, and two
months is not a moment too long for aotive
exertion. What lost us the campaign last
year was lack of organization. We had not
that accurate system of subdivision of labor
which characterized the Deinooraoy. With
them every man, how.ever insignificant his in
lluence, had a place. Each oue had a work to
perform. They did not rest content with
Waid Committees; they descended to preoinots
and to blocks and to rows. Every Demoorat
knew exactly who was going to support the
ticket in his square, and he saw that he voted
on the day of election, that he was furnished
with pamphlets, that he was ilattered with
tickets aid letters and circulars, and every
man was brought out. lnis is wnat
we must do aud oounuence to do at once. Let
the precincts be subdivided and the various
committees know exactly who are our enemies
and who our friends. Not only is this the
duty of the committees, but it is also the duty
of members of the party to aid such org am z a
tions as are being form d. Let eaoh belong to
some club. There are ward organizations,
Grant clubs, and even division clubs in all the
various portions of the oity. They want local
support. There, above all, are the "Invinci-
bles," a time-honored and thoroughly alive
organization, to which all the younger mem
bers ot the party would do good servioe and
tive themselves personal satistaction by join'
lug. Both by associating with organizations
and lendins individual aid to assist commit
tees, tach man can do his share in the good
work and make our triumph secure.
What Will lie Do?
It seems that one Dupont has heretofore pre
sided over the Supreme Benoh of the State of
Florida. But as he was still thoroughly in
sympathy with the "lost oause," his judicial
existence was ignored by those engaged iu the
reconstrnctlon or the btate on a loyal ana re
publican basis. Dupont is therefore in a bad
way. Apparently too abaerbed in the dis
charge of bis judicial funotions to be aware of
the fact that the attempt of Southern dema
gogueB tooverthrow the authority of the national
Government has utterly failed, Dupont still be
lieves himself to be Chief Justice of Florida,
refuses to recognize a successor in the person
elected by the people under the new Constitu
tion, declares the reconstruotion acts null and
void in short, is wholly and completely given
over to Seymonrism. Under these distressing
circumstances, it beoomes an exceedingly in
teresting inquiry as to what Dupont will do in
his perplexity. That he will foam and fret
until November is to be taken for granted.
Whether be intends anything more serious or
alarming jnst at present is a matter of doubt,
But certain it is that, if Seymour and Blair are
elevated to power, Dupont will at onoe enter
into the revolutionary business along with the
Utter, and from the nature of bis grievanoe a
the hands of loyal Florida, will prove
himself to be a stalwart and perchanoe a for
midable champion of the new rebellion. lie
will not be alone. Every office in the recon
structed Btates, from the highest to the low
est, will become an objeot of similar strife
between the present loyal inoumbents and the
Rebels whom they displaced. This state of
affairs alone will constitute anarchy, even if
Rebel claimants to official position do not
resort to force of arms to get another opportu
nity at the flesh-pots of political Egypt. This
strife will constitute but one result, however.

' Tbe following Is the opinion of Attorney.
General Evartaontbe realgnatlon of Com mis
loner Rollins, and on the power of the Preil
dent to fill vacancies occurring during the reoess
of tbe Senate:
ATTOBSBY OBNKRAL'8 OrriOK, Aug. 10. Hon.
BugQ Mouullocu, secretary of the ireaaory:
Blr1 have given to the subject uomnteJ to
luy consideration by yourle-ier on lu7lu. re
laiiUK to tbe preat-nt puelllon ot tbe orflde of
Internal Keveoue the ruo.si careful aileallo j.

hBVKNua W.hmiksiom, June 8. sir: Co pursu
ance el a purpose fcuawu t- mr riends lor .averl
montba, I beruy tender you ine r,iguilon o uiy
oH)c to take etlfCl upon ibe quallfl 'ailon of my suc
ce.sor, n namtuil by yours'lr auaceutlrmed by tu j
Senate. I am, air, very respectful. y,

Cotnmluljner of luitrul Hivbuuo.
Upon the Sin of August tbe Frendeut piaoed
npn tbe letter tbe following endorsement:
The realisation of Hon. K A. UoIiIdh. aa Com
nilnsloner of Internal Iteveune. dated -June 8,
IWiS, ia I IMs day accepted." Upon these facia
you desire my answer to two questions,
namely:
First. Is tbe offloe of Commissioner of Inter
nnl Revenue vacant T
Second. If the otlice la vacant, when did the
ocancy ocuur.and can atucceasorto Mr. Rollins
be appointed during tbe recexa of the rtcuate?
The otlice of Commissioner of Iuternal Reve
nue Is, aa you MigKeat, a very Important and
responfcible one. Its intelligent, t-tllcleut, and
faithful administration Is a matter of the great-
eat Intel est to the public revenues ana mo puo
llo credit, and 11 la Justly a kuhjct of aollcliuJe
with tbe President tual his full duty uuder tue
Constitution and thilawsloreapect lolhlsotllce
and Its admlnlHtraitont bail beiuiuued.
The aueMlona wblcn von adilres to me came
to tie ol practical and eubaiaui.'al Interest In
the Executive adnilnlKtratioc of the (lovero
inenlonl.v bv force of the recent lentslatloa by
Congreta known aa tbe Tenure of Civil Odlce
bill, that bas lmpreahed upon aa a cltaa of
officers, and wblch Includes tbat now
under consideration. A u-nure at ine
will of tbe office holders whloli
cannot be terminated ezo-pt by the concur.
renre of tbe President and the Senate In t lie ap
point men t of a successor, and his aotual in tac
tion Into tbe office. Ho long as tbe President,
ty force of the Constitution and tne laws, had
tbe nower to terminate the office-holder's posses
sion ol his office by a removal at tbe President's
direction, and against tbe will of the
officer, tbe tenure of the latter's desired
adherence to or rexlgnailon of bis
office would bave no special siBnlncance. f ir
tbev could Impose no restraint upon lbs time
or manner of the President's exertion of bis
proper authority In the premises. The preoise
efiVut. therefore, of tbe legislation refarrod io
Is tbe first Dolnt for consideration. Toe pur
pose ot tbe tennre of civil office act was to
cnange ine aocirine ana prm uuB oi ine gov
ernment by which removal from offloe at the
mere dlacretlon or the Presldeut bad
been established as a proper, and as
had been thought, a necessary atteudent
of tbe Executive dnty and responsibility
under the Conaiiintlon to maintain the effi
ciency and fidelity of the publio aervloe In ful
filling tbe manifold and Incessant obligation
of tbe administration and in tbe execution of
tbe lawa, tbe purpose of which might bav
been limited to requirement of the concurrence
ol tbe Kenate with tbe Executive in effect
ing a removal from office, and left
tbe capacity of removal aa s separate
Independent act open to the exigencies ot the
fiublio service bas been carried by tbe law to
ho extent of precluding a determination of the
officer's bold upon his office by the unite 1 will
of tbe Executive and of the Senate, exoept by
tbe sole and specific mode of the appointment
confirmation, and qualification of a successor.
