A and Impressive eoena is baiug eotei at Ith.9 national capital to-daj. The lion. 0. J. Dickey, the Baooesaor ia the House Of tbe late Thaddeus Stevens, at the opening Of that bod made a formal announcement of the death of bis illustrious predecessor, and proceeded to deliver a eulogy npon bis life and public services. He was followed by the Hon. William D. Kelley and several other members of tbe House, it being expected that the whole of tbe session would be occupied in this meltncboly way. At ide from the universal custom which has Prevailed in similar cases since the establish ment of the Government, there is a special significance attached to this payment of fitting tributes to the dead. The life of Tliaddem Stevens was so intimately associated with the history of the country during the progress of the war and the efforts to restore it to IU normal condition after the suppression of the Rebellion, that it is impossible to Ignore the event of his death. So completely was he identified with the progress of aU legislation which bre upon the relations of the Southern States to the Union, that a his tory of bis career during this momentous period is almost necessarily a history of the United States. In giving shape and substance to the Congressional policy of Reconstruction, heaETOmed tbe responsible task of leading the dominant party in the- lower house of Congress. When he found It impos sible to dictate the policy of Con gress, with that wise foresight which is the chief quality of true statesmanship, he suffered himself to be led by his party, standing out bravely for every detail of his own peculiar theories, and infusing into the final aotion of Congress as much of his own spirit as it would bear without breaking down under the weight. That he was vindiotlve and resentful in a measure cannot be denied by his most devoted admirers, but to the fact that he permitted nothing of a personal character to enter into his motives is to be credited the large share of oonfldenoe and respect which he extorted from the most partisan of his opponents. Actuated by a high senBe of duty to his country, moved by the largest sympathy for an oppressed and Buffering race, nerved to the most herolo en deavor in their behalf by an unshaken confi dence in the right, inspired with a firm belief In the capacity of man for self-government, and always displaying an unconquera ble faith in the ultimate triumph of the prin ciples of justice and equality before the law, he was preeminently fitted Lr the position of a leader in the most perilous and exciting times. Added to those grand qualities of heart was a deep and thorough culture, a readiness of wit and repartee, an eloquence of tongue, and an unflinching zeal, which com bined to eomplete the perfect outline of statesmanship, and to give to their possessor a capacity for usefulness whiub. has Boldooi been equalled and still more rarely excelled. That the death of such a mau should create a profound sansatlou is not a matter of surprise. That his suoueasor and bis former colleague should pay their last tribute to his memory in terms of almost un measured eulogy is both pardonable and just. X JiKliriiil Ktenrli. "Tub last refuge of justice," said Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent sermon, "is our courts; and yet," continued that plain-spokeu divine, in words more forcible than elegant, "so corrupt are our courts becoming that the name of judge stinks." Henry Ward Beecher was addressing a New Yoik audience, from a New York standpoint, and with the judicial system of New York staring him in the face. That be should, under these circumstances, be moved te such an outburst of indignation is not a matter of surprise. The progress of the great Erie warfare has served to develop" in all its fulneBi), tbe abominable rottenness which is capable of being foBtered in an elec tive judiciary. That we have thus far escaped its unhappy effects in this State, and more especially in this city, is owing in great mea sure to the almost equal balance of power be tween the two great political parties. When neither side is aEBured of success, it becomes absolutely necessary for both parties to place in nomination for judicial positions meu of unquestioned integrity and of undoubted purity of motives. In New York city, where the Demooratio vote is more than double that of the opposi tion, the office of a judge is stripped of its essential dignity, and clothed with all the petty partisanship which disgraces the wrangles of the ward. Personal fitness, know ledge of the law, devotion to the right, all the grand requisites of the judicial character, are ignored as frequently In filling vacancies upon the Bench as in the rush after the plun der of the Common Counoil and the Board of Supervisors. For this reason, more than for v other, has the sys tem of an elective judiciary failed so signally in New York. The exemption of rbiladelphia tins far from the oonsequenoes of a similar failure should not lead us to lose sight of its possible occurrence in the future, but should ,atber move us to an early return to the Cider atd cafer system of a sppo'nSd judi ciary, with the tenure of ofiloe extend! to life and limited by good behavior and a capa city for tbe fnll and satisfactory disoharge o' the important funotions of the judicial offioe. Thi Twitcbri.Ii Thiai.. The trial of Mr. and Mrs. Twitchell for the murder of Mrs. Hill commenced in the Court of Oyer and Ter miner this morning, with Judges Brewster and Ludlow upon the bench. Not since Anton I'rolst stood at the same bar, arraigned for the wholesale butchery of an entire family, has there been such a scene in our highest criminal court, and even at that memorable trial the crowd in attendance was not so great nor the interest so intense. That the trial will be a long-protiaoted one, and both sides of tbe Issue of guilt contested with all the energy and acumen for which the member ofonrbarare distinguished, bid fair to be the case. That impartial justice will be metei out to the two prisoners, at the bar we do not for a moment doubt. The Dtici Question has been the great local sensation of London during the past summer, and the excitement created by the muzzling of stray canines while the warm weather con tinued has not yet abated. Singular as it may appear, this muzzling operation was de nounced almost unanimously by the press as a gross outrage npon the brute creation. In a recent number of the Saturday Review we find a mention of the fact that all unmuzzled dogs caught in the streets of San Francisco are thrown into the pound, and, if not re deemed within a certain time, summarily put to death. The editor states this fact in a way leading us to believe that he regards it as a relio of barbarism of some sort. Into what a convulsion will the English papers be thrown when they are made aware of the faot that in the dog days all unmuzzled canines are unmercifully dealt with in every city in the Union ! Tbe Union Iufilic ItHllrwHd. Hithkrto California and tbe oilier Slaesand Turltorles of the Paciilo slope have aeemeu to on of tbe eastern side of tho nontluent almost as lore'gn count rich; and, Indeed, they are prao tlcaliy further removed from us than Europe' so that It Is dlllicull at i lrues to leallze tbe fae j tbat they are really part and portion of one great country. The lime is near at band, how ever, wbeu tbe two bides of tbe coutlnent wll1 be united, end whine journey from Philadel phia to San Fraudtico will scarcely take more time than would a tiip to Boston a hundred years ago. Tbe Union I'acltic Railroad, one of tbe Igrcatettt enlerpi ises of tbe ay: which will make a grand highway acn es the continent for tbe commerce of the world. In fast approaching com pletion, Tbe work on this road lias been pushed with unexampled rapidity, aud it Is considered as certain t hut n will be open fur business by next summer. Nine hundred aud sixty miles of the line west from Omaha are already com pleted, and the work will be progressed through the winter, without intermission, with a force of three thousand meu. Of cou be, in a railroad of ibis kind, of the first national Importance, it Is a matter of inteiesi to every oue to know that It has been well constructed. Tho regular Uovernnnnl Commissioners aud the 8 pe dal Coininlfrtiioueis appointed by the Presi dent pronounce favorably ou this point. The C'oiiimissloner.4 btate that tbe work is well doue, notwithstanding the rapid manner In which it has been urged for waid, and lhat the general route Is exceedingly well fioltolcd. Tbe company now have In use l;(7 loc luotlviu and nearly i.'(AX) cars of all de scriptions, and large addluons to the rolling htock will bo ready by the tptlug. The grading for the load Is nearly completed, and ties are distributed for 120 miles in advance of the west ern end of the trauk. 1' iilly 120 miles of iron for the new track are now delivered west of the Mlstoiui river, and DO miles ru'oie are en route. Tbe total expenditures for construction In ad vance of the completed portion of the road are not less tban eight millions of dollars. Tne opening of the Union Pacltlo Railroad, wlilou ia expected to take place next hummer, will be an occasion of national rejoicing, for It will make a link of iron to bind the Kast aud West together In firmer bonds tban ever.
