'The Great Commoner."
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.
