STIFENS on Confiscation has been rei :
piikted in most of the leading papers in
the I.7iiited Stabu.-- 7 having been, on fuel
count of the public interest of its contents,
teleraphed all over the country by the
WaAtington City Agent of the Associated-
Press,lo whom we sent an advance copy.
It has provoked a variety ofcounnent.—
The Democratic newspapers, true to their
uniforni policy thoroughout the war of al
lowing nothing to be done which could
harm their Rebel friends, think it atroci-.
ous, and give it. the. benefit of their
choicatit terms of denunciation. The
Southern newspapers are shocked by it,
and would tremble at it, if they believedn
its adoption imminent. The Republic
an press discuss it, in terms of approval ;
or, if dissenting, with respectful deference
to the great leader who has ;promulgated
it. 'We believe there is but one eleeftion
'to this statement—the EVENINcI TF:LE
(;tt&pii Of Philadelphia.
This paper, in its issue of tle:29th, pnb
lished au editorial chiefly noticeable for
the Censurable flippancy of its allusions
to Mr. STEVENS and the grossness of its
attack upon. the citizens. of th,Border
counties. F.l:he article does not controvert
'the reasons by which Mr. STEVENS sus
tains his polic.V: On the other hand, it
says:
"It may be -that confiscation will be
necessary as a punishment for continued
contumacy; It may be that it will be
needed to yet further humble the Spirit
of the late Rebels. 13ut it can never be
that it will beunforced to repay the Penn
sylvania farmers for losses suffered years
ago, and already once paid by the State."
Thus, the Editor of the EVENING TELE
GRAPH, by his own showing, is not op
posed,, in principle,. to Confiscation; but
declargs he will be for it if it be necessary
a.s a ptinisment, or to humble the spirit of
the late Rebels., Mr. STEVENS is for it,
as his letter shows, because the law and
practieeof nations justifyit, and because
justice,to innocent and plundered citi
zens of the United States, requires it.—
There is then this difference, in this re
spect, between thp position of
, ther4tMitor
of the EVENING TELEGRAPH and Mr.
STEVENS. The, former makes his ap
proval of the policy dependent upon his
desire to punish the Ile,bels.;.Mr. STEVENS,
upon the inherent justice of the thing it
self, upon; the uniform practice of nations,
and the outraged "mut-11's" of citizens.
Which Is the nobler view ?
But the EVENING TELEGRAPH . protests
that Confiscation shall "never be en
forced to reparthe Pennsylvabia farmers
for losses suffered years ago, and already
once paid by the State." .
Mr. STEVENS demands Confiscation as
just; and payment of losses Its "an inci
dent. ''he EVENING, TELEGRAPH adver
tises its contingent willingness to de
man fiscatiop, but protests against
p •ment of losses, in any event. And
or three reasons :
Ist. The losses Were suffered years agO.
As if lapse of time ever weakened a just
claim, or relieved a negligent State from
its DVTY of protecting faithful citizens.—
But these losses occurred within the last
live years, and most of them within four.
The plea is beneath contempt.
2nd. These losses have been already
"once paid by the State." .I:Unfortunate
ly, tihis is not true. The Sthte gave $600,-
000 to citizens of Chambersburg ; not a'
penny to hundreds of others in Adams,
Franklin and other counties, who were
as severely treated and whoie bottles were
‘. as completely desolated as any citizens of
Chambersbur. There is no differenceof
principle between those claims which
have been recognized as just, and 'those
which have been denied. And the State
and Nation Will yet see clearly that the
highest of obligations requires that the
spoliated counties of the Border shall have
a fair hearing, and an honest judgment.
But 3rd, the EVF:NING TELEGRA PH
elsewhere in its article says:
"If there is no bCtter ground for con
fiscation -than to repay the cowardly,
semi-disloyal farmers of the counties
named, who charged our 'soldiers for a
cup of milk, and tied from or tamperect
with the Rebels, we do not favor it.'
This is intended to convey theltupres
sion that the bulk of the citizens of the
Bordeicounties were unfaithful to the
government, and unkind to its soldiers,
and are therefore undeserving of just con
sideration. The war has produced no
fouler slander: Doubtless, there were
hereslisloyal men during the war. Most
of them got their inspiration from disloy
al Philadelphians whom we could readily
name. It may lie that, under this stimu
lus, in some cases, greed got the better of
patriotism. But We utterly 'deny the
truth of the general statement of the
EVENING TELEGRAPH.
These counties responded promptly to
every call of the country for troops, or
for supplies, and cqntributed of their sub
stance iiii - fulty - fortheesupport of thi gov
e*iment in every good work as any por
tibn of this or any other State, _We make
the statement, broadly ; and We mean it
precisely as it standO. Some of the best
men in our communities; after doing their
whole duty to the country, were render
ed
houseless and homeless. by - our coun
try's armies or the enemy's', and have
been 'denied rill compensation. And all
this while bloated traitors, pardoned of
their crimes, own their millions, and
boast their agency in the war. The Edi
tor of the EVENING TELEGRAPH may
now think himself able to justify this
lindifference..of the State 'and : r - Oeneral
!Governmet& But even his sober judg
ment must, we think, in time rabel
against his present paasionate proscrip
tion. • -
This interposition of a Philadelphia
paper against every measure of relief to
plundered Unionists, is as inexplicalige
its It is ill-qed. Letlhe Editor of the
.Vvmhalgia TE9/10.P.11 recall the days in
i l a
*hick these juries were inflicted. The
enemy' hid vaded our free State with a
powerful army flushed with victory, and
advanced, substantially unchallenged, to
the of the Capitol itself. The Ex
"ecntilie Officers sent of the archives of

Let the EVENING TELEGRAPH' review
its facts; recall' its unworthy criticism of
the'first 43tateithian of-the generation, to
whose enlightened sagacity, and indomi
table purpose, and unflinching firmness,
the Nstion is infinitely indebted ; culti
vate; above all, a spirit of justice; and,
doing what is right because it is so, ex

successors.
OUR ADVERTISEMtNTS
One of the consequences of the union
of the two papers, has been to require the
new firm to carry out the advertising
contracts of each. For this reason We
find- ourselvessomewhat crowded at pres
ent, with advertisements. It is -our pur
pose to reduce this pressure as fast as pos
sible, so as to enlarge the space for read
ing matter. But it is well for our sub
scribers Co remember that there is now
more reading matter in the Star and S'en
ibid., than the subscribers of either paper
received before the consolidation of the
two. Yet we - intend "to dc - ) better,",,in
the future.
The Constitutional Convention of
Maryland, the other day, by a close vote,
incorporated into the Constitution they
are preparing, a raise permitting colored
per Sons to testify - in the Conits Of that
State. The late slaveholderS•of the lowu•
counties, in pursuance of their old Slavert
ideas, objected that this wouldigive the col
ored population too touch power, and be
sides they could not be believed ;. but the
majority concluded that as their Northern
neighbors had always allowed this privi
lege and had not suffered from it, they
Would take the risk ! What will Judge
Magruder now fall back upon, to melee a
sensation ?
The same Convpntiou have notified the
world that, in their opinion, Maryland is
a "free, sovereign, and independent
State." We suppose, then, it has the
right to secede at pleasure, fr* the
17nion. Inasmuch as. the ,Consti ution
of the United States provides tt, and
the laws made under it, "shall be the
Supreme Law of the Laud," we don't be
lieve that the State of Jlaryland is so very
sovereign, notwithstanding this Conven
tion's resolve.
The same thoughtful Convention has
notified the people of the United States
that they expect the Government thereof
to pay for all the Slaves emancipated bX
the people of Maryland, when they
in IsB4, adopted by a popular vote
the present State Constitution, which.
abolished Slavery. What the United
States have to do with paying for an aboli
tion decreed by the people of Maryland
themselves, is not very clear to our mind.
But probably if we had in our pockets
thirty Millions of dollars' worth of claims
growing out of that event as the late
Slaveholders of •Maryland have, we
might be able to "see if:" Until then,
we,must insist. that Uncle Sam shall pay
hits own debts and nobody else's.

and finally threatens that "rather than

if we sought the last resort of an injttred

It is manifest, this fellow has not been
half whipped. We fear, a large propor

the Nation as heartily as he does. There
can be no safety or prosperity for the

and such advisers put down—which is
the precise work in which the Republic
an Party are now engaged. Every Pa
triot should'give his encouragement and
aid.
Tux distress of the South is shown in the
fact that Virginia raised $40,000 for the com
fort ofJelf. Davis and his family. wor ‘ th Car

NEW ORLEANS, May 31.—The city of Mexi

the Liberals.
Vera Cruz will soon surrender.
Upon the surrender of Maximilian, Suarez
sent to Vera Cruz, Puebla and the city of Mex
ico despatches similar to that sent to General

Blithe Invent.lists, their ammunition and sup
plies were captultd on the 15th inst.
It was rumored that Juarez had ordered
Maximilian to be shot. In his reply to the
appeal fOr mercy, despatched through Minis
ter Campbell, Juarez's Minister clearly im
plies that the Emperor and his chiefs could
not be regarded as lawful enemies. After as
serting that the Archduke had remained in the
country to continue the “work qf min and des
olation by civil }car," Idi e lt aid 'of desperate
Wien, he added : "in case therts be captured
persons on whom rests such responsibilities, it

instructions to proceed to Mexico, and report
to the Suarez Government.

A despatch from New Orleans gives later
adviees from Mexico. Maximilian was not
shot, and it is said has already been allowed

on his return to Austria. The whole of the
Imperial army surrendered, Maximilian and
his chiefs giving up their swords to Escobedo.
A Ten Dollar Counterfeit
A splendidly executed counterfeit ten dol

NEW COUNTERFEITS.—New and dan
gerous counterfeits of the last issue of the
fifty cent fractional notes, which bear upon
their face the bead of Treasurer Spinner, have
been detected at the Treasury Department.
It can be detected by the absence of a period
after the word print, on the .right end, and
also under the letter d, in March 3d, on the
left end.
A - dangerous Counterfeit of the twenty-five

Upon close examination it may be detected
by noticing that the scroll-work aroubd the

touches the fine lines around the edge of the
note which forms the bordering, while on the

As Avow Ar. oF PERFIDY.—The Charleston
Afrecury boldly proclaims :that all that may

visions 'of the Reconstruction act will be wiped
out at the very first opportunity. It says :
"If ever the Government of the United,
States becomes a free Government, and the
Constitution be restored to validity, everything
done under this act, we presume, is wiped out.
The constitution of a free government, dicta
ted by military authority, is an absurdity. It
will last just as- long as the military authority
enforces it, and not a day longer. One of two
things we deem to be cmitain—either the peo
ple of all the 'United Stat'es must remain per
manently under an absolute despotism, or the
White population of South Carolina will rule
the State."
This means simply, that the moment the
Democratic party shall obtain power In South,
Carolina it will proceed to disfranchise the cyr

condition of servitude.

Southern men ought not to "acce - )t the situa

North, which would have resulted in the repeal
of the law."
The Richmond Whig declares that while
Virginia politics have taken no definite, shape,
a great change has taken place in the State in
favor of accepting the situation, and of placing
Virginia in practical relations with the gov

their duties to the United States, and so gain its
protection and the privileges which it offers.
