Ilia Opposition to Andrew Jotaateoa,
as soon as the "policjn of that treacherous
functionary was developed, became decided and
iras pursued with all his untirloe; energy. On
the 22J of February, 18GC, the President made a
characteristic fpeccn in which he denounced
Mr. Pteveus as an enemy of the Union, and Mr.
Etc vet) 8 retorted by his references to "the man
at the other end of the avenue," which are still
lreth in the minds of our readers. As will
be remembered, he was one of the
leading managers of the impeachment
xnoveriient, and it was upon the article prepared
by him that all the hopes of buccesj depended,
Incapac tated by physical iuSrmities from bear
ing any of tbe burdens of the prosecution, ho
was present In the Senate Chamber almost every
day of the trial, and the argument wuich he
delivered in support of the charges atraiust the
President was perhaps tho clearest and stroncedt
of all tbat were read.
A consummate master of the art of ridicule,
Mr. Stevens never refrained irom the exercise
cf this effective weapon when it answered his
purpose. Andrew Johnson, time aud time
again, encountered the fall iorceof his sarcasm,
but never more effectively than when Mr.
Elevens delivered an irouical speech
In the House, defending the President
against aspersions upon his char
acter as a man and a patriot. He
gravely pronounced the dribbling speech of the
4th of March a "hoax," and in most admirable
style detailed the circumstances of the plot in
which the President had become involved by
his foes. Having concluded this mockery, he
added ten told to its rebuking strength by
declaring tbat he had delivered the speech on
the same principle as the late President bad
sent In a veto message to a bill which he had
already signed because he hal written the veto
and thought it well done.
Ilia Character.
The character of Tbaddeus Stevens bjlongs to
aistory. He was pre-emlneutly a public man.
Unmarried, and consequently without a refuge
at tae domestic LearthsiJe, be lived and
breathed and bad his whole be log in the strife
cf public life. For success in this field he pos,
aer-sed almost all the requisite qualifications,
and while the bitterness of the opposition which
he excited and courted has rarely been
equalled, he nevertheless commanded the it-
epei't and admiration or almost every
inn who was arrayed agniust him.
His most commaudiug qualities were the
fiery zeal and unquestionable honesty of pur
pose by whlcb he was actuated, aud these are
qualities which never tail to win the admiration
and respect of opponents. Nor could any man
question the generosity of his heart, or his sin
cere devotion to the interests of his fellow-men.
Jlls great success In the councils of the nation
"Mas the result of thU happy c oibi nation of these
qualities. lie was born a leader of men, and
altboukh surrounded by persons of ability and

On Strturday evening Frank Reno, who was

late of Heno, was arresu d at the came time,
and both men sre now in prison to await any
charges that may be preferred against them.
Thete prisoners are cliarped with robbery and
attempted murder. On May 22 last, Thomas

robbed of $97,000. We understand that the
most positive testimony can ba produced to
show that Frank Reno and Cbarle Anderson
were connected with the robbery ana attempted
murder; if so, their extradition is a matter of
time only. Reno and Anderson have beeo
living in Windsor several months, aad both
have been regarded as suspicions characters.
Of the two, Anderson It the sharpest, and, we
are informed. Ii regarded by the detective as
one of the shrewdest and moat proficient bur-

British intervention a the cause of the present

Tbe story rcpnited in the Ktnsrston papers that
the refugees had all been turned outof the Ame
rican Conmlute is a wlekr-d fal-ehood, which the
author bits been obliged to apologize for. The
American flag has covered for many weeks two
hundred per ous, and they have all been fed by
the Americans. Nei'herot iheo.her poes have
furnished any food to refugee. It was a political
laUeuoi.d eot up for filibustering purposes.

hospitably entertitlned. 8,he was visited by the
President tue next day. tie was received witu
a salute ol twenty-one guns on his arrival, and
twenty one sruns ou his departure, and the yards

Wednesday, August 12, 18S8. J
The Money Market has nndercone very little
ehunte, the supply of money on tbe street beiug
largely in tbe excess of the demand, and there
is no difficulty in negotiating catl loaus at from
4 to 6 per cent., according to the character ot
tbe collaterals ofleied, and the reoutation ot the
borrowers. The demand is mostly Irom the
stock operators, the merchants in the present
stagnant condition ot trade not requiring any
laree amount of funds. With a return of cool
weather aud the absentees irom the wa erine
places, there will, uudoubedlv be mor) spirit in
all departments ot business; in fact a number of
western merchants nave already commenced
looking turouen tbe market, preparatory to
purchasing their fall supplies. They report that
tne ci ops turougnout tne west were never

though the process of threshing may possibly
lead to a curtailment of tbe more extravagant

barley are scarcely less promising, while Inliau

FROM WASHINGTON.
Tbe Oplaloat af AttoraxeyOeaeral Eyarte
8peHcd Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, August 12. Yesterday after
noon, at a late hour, the Attorney General sub
mitted to the President his opialon on tbe
question relative to tbe power of tho Executive
to accept the resignation ot Commissioner Rol
lins and to fill the vacancy. It is a long aud
able document, adverse to tbe President's juris
diction in this instance. Mr. Evarts maintains
tbat the position of Commissioner Rollins was a
qualified one and could not be accepted until
the conditions named therein were ful tilled.
Tbe condition ln the resignation in question
was the nomination of his successor lo tue Se
nate and his confirmation by tb.u body, thereby
making a new appointment complete so far as
both executive branches ot tho Government
were concerned, belore the terms of snid re
siirnalion could be faithfully complied with.
Ttio Attornej-Ui-neral supports tlits opinion from
many legal authorities aud cites a dt-cuioa
made by Assoc ate Justice Mt-I.ean in tbe
Supieme Court ot ihu United Slate, In tbe
matter of a mandamus to compel an ex
ecutive officer to deliver a commssion
wblch he withheld. Another decision adverse
to tbe President's position, is tound iu a ewe
derided bj Justice Mcl.ean, in the United
States Circuit Court ot Obio. Mr. Rollins,
theretore, remains Commissioner ot In erual
Revenue, and bH re.-lpna'ion amounts to
nothing until his successor i ondrraed by tbe
Senate, which is a lact, however, noi eveu con
ditional n this or any other restgnitUon. lor the
President need not wait for one before nomi
nanng to the Senate at any time, when it is in
session, an appointment lor tuis or any oiher
oilice.
Eilorts at a compromise between the President
and Rollins will be mude. Tue latter is anxious
to irlve up the duties of his oflice. but will
assume the riirht to dic'ate whj ebuil be his
successor. Should sucb a nomination b. ac
ceptable to the Executive, an appointment wul
soon be made.

vsis, Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Nashville, Ang. 11. The Tennessee Legisla
ture has not made much progress ia the military
but-iness tor the last few dais. This is owing to
the fact that the Joint Committee has not fully
matured its bill, although it is expected that it
will not differ materially from the House bil1
already passed. One thing is certain, that the
bill which is to become a law, will give Gover
nor Brownlow nearly ab-ol ate power as to the
number of troops to be called out, their dispo
sition, etc.
A petition praying for tbo extension of the
franchise and against calling out the militia,
signed by nearly all the population of Wilson
county, waa presented to the House to-day,
and accompanying it was a declaration ot
principles, which, among other things, disap
proved and censured the Ku-Klux Kian, and
all other secret political societies. Supposing
the latter was aimed at the Loyal Leacrue. the
petition was severely denounced, and by t very
emphatic vote, tbe Houso retused to refer the
petitlou to a commit ee. ' '
. Tbe document was courteous and deferential lu
the extreme, but such was its reception by the
TenDcsee Legislature. The Democratic caa
vass still goes on, aud the mooted questiou here
no is. whether it is not better to withdraw
from the held. Th) radical State Convention
meets here to-morrow to nominate rleo ors and
al'o a Cons rest man from the Siate at lare.
Tbe radical congressional conventions meets
ln the Senate chamber also to-morrow to nom I
oat a Congressman. A lively squabble is anti
cipated in tbe la'ter pathriini?, as tbore are two
candidates aud very bitter terlina between tbe
lac' ions. One wing of tbe party had a torchlight
piocesslon to-nlirht, which was largely atteudeJ.
