in Columbia:
"The platform of the New York Conven
tion simply declared the 'Reconstruction
acts unconstitutional and void ; that feature
he had the honor to introduce into it him
self, and it only contemplated submitting
Aliese acts to the arbitrament of the Su
preme Court. That was what ho had said,
and he was willing to abide by it. He had
seen what purported to be a quotation from
a speech delivered by him in Charleston,
in which it was said that he had declared
to his audience that he had preserved a
Confederate flag, and that he would yet un
furl It, and call around him the men who
had once fought under it. This statement
contained no word of truth. What he did
say was that the Confederate flag had been
furled and buried forever with the " lost
cause." Ho had also said that ho had
another flag which had been presented to
him by the women of South Carolina,
through the hands of her Chief Magistrate,
which had been borne on a hundred battle
fields, and was in the hands of his hero son
when he fell bravely in the hottest of the
fight. That flag was not large enough to
have inscribed on it the names of all the
victories in which it had flaunted to the
breeze, and it was on account of its associ
ation with his eon—on account of the tender
ties that It recalled, that it had been rescued

Thirty gentlemen, representing as Many
of the loadlogjournals of the'eastern cities,
have Just returned from a trip which in
cluded over seven hundred miles of the
Union Pacific) Railroad They bad a Special
train at thole disposal, to stop where they
wished, to run fast or slow as they might
desire, and which gave them far better op.
portunity to see both the good parts.of the
road, and the bad ones—if any exist—than
the ordinary traveler by regular trains.
Let us see what some of these gentlemen
say of the character of the Union Pacific
' Railroad:
Pharles A. Dana,s)f the Now York S'un,
says:
" A party of thirty gentlemen e
have just returned from an excursion to the
I present terminus of the Union Pacific Rail
' road at the Rocky Mountains. Their un
animous opinion is' that the road is con
structed in the most thorough and solid
manner, and that it is superior in firmness,
smoothness, and capacity for rapid running,
to auy other new road! which they have
ever seen. This is true of the parts of the
track which were laid only the day before
the excursion train passed over them, as
well as those at the eastern end of the line
which have been in use for some two years.
The work is well done, both as respects the
judgment with which it is laid out, and the
thoroughness of its construction; and there
is no part of it which could, under the cir
cumstances, be better than it is: all reports
to the contrary are erroneous and mistak
.
The editor of the Boston Traveller says:
"It is built in the best and most substan
tial manner possible, and will compare
favorably with any other road in the United
States. For a new road, Ido not remem
ber ever having traveled on its superior.
0 0 The road is well ballasted, and ex
treme drought, must he comparatively free
from dust. . a Few of old roads of the
country are so easy to ride over as this
now ono."
The editor of the _Ealiimore American
says of the Road :
"It, is well and substantially built and
ballasted, and rides more easily than two
thirds of the roads east of the Mississippi."
The editor of the New York 'limes refers
to the fast running done on a portion of the
trip, and says:
"The locomotive tore along at a speed of
over 40 miles an hour, and smoothly enough
we traveled, even at that high rate, prov
ing conclusively that the Union Pacific
Railroad is substantially MOIL"
The editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin
gives the following spirited description of
the way the track is being laid:
"Track-laying on the Union Paci c is a
science, and we, pundits of the F East,
stood on that embankment, about a
thousand miles this side of stinset, and
bucked westward before that hurrying
corps of sturdy operators, with a mingled
feeling of amusement, curiosity and pro
found respect. On they came. A light
car, drawn by a single horse, gallops np
to the front with its load of rolls. Two
men seize the end of a rail and start for
ward, the rest of the gang taking hold by
twos, until it is clear of the cur. Then
they come forward at a run. At the word
of command the rail is dropped in its
place, right side up with care, while the
some process goes on at the other side of
the car. Less than thirty seconds to a
rail for each gang, and so four rails go
down to the minute! Quick work, you
soy, but the fellows on the U. I'. are tre
mendously in earnest. The moment the
car Is empty it is tipped on the other side
of the track to let the next loaded car
pass it, and then it is tipped bock again,
and It is u sight to see It go flying back

Thu Radical journals, Its might be ex•
peeled, have already begun to scrutinize
the character and public record of Governor
Seymour. This course is perfectly Just and
right, mid is long as the examination is
mode in a fair, candid, decent and respect
ful manner, we have nothing to say against
it. While .the character of Governpr Sey
mour is under discussion, however, it may
be of Interest to the public to discover what
such a matt as ex• Governor Curtin thinks
of Mr. Seymour.
Said a gentleman to Mr. Curtin the other
day, us they sat in the reading room of the
Union League Club house in Philadelphia:
" Well, Governor, what Is your opinion of
the Democratic Convention' " I think,"
said the Governor, "that n stronger ticket
might lava been selected, such as lien
Bricks and Hancock, for example." "But,"
continued the questioner, " what is your
opinion of Governor Seymour?" Mr. Cur
tin replied: "Well, sir, if I were asked to
mention a man who, in my estimation pos
sessed the attributes of a perfect gentle
man, a cultivated scholar, a thorough
statesman and a sincere Christian, I could,
without hesitation name Horatio Seymour
of New York." "how about Seymour's
loyalty?" " After the dispatches that I
sent Seymour at the time 01 the rebel raid
into Pennsylvania," replied the Governor,
" it would hardly become the to impugn h is
loyalty the fact is, I have never doubted it.
I understnnd that Belmont is having all
the dispatches sent by Stanton and myself
printed, and I have no doubt they will be
in the hands of every Democratic stump
speaker through the campaign. We had
better give up attacking Seymour's loyalty,

that matter."
These despatches have been published.

De tractive Fire in Philadelphia
PH ILADELrruA, August 18.—At half-past
two o'clock this morning, a very destruc

tablishment of Collins A Robb, No, 2-10 and
2-12 North Front, corner of New street. In
the second story was stored a large quanti

$150,000 to $2000,000.
Messrs. Collins A Robb, whose meat pack
ing house was destroyed this morning are
Insured for $60,000 upon the stock, which
will more than cover the loss.

of tine wool stored, valued at $lO,OOO, fully
Insured In the city and Eastern companies.
Chighorn, Herring & Co's. cotton store, on
same floor, was insured for $75,000, which

Libel Snit
Jut les and Courts everywhere are dis
posed to relax the severe rules in regard to
libels. An action for libel (the libel con
sisting in calling a gentleman a donkey)
was recently tried at the Devon Assizes,
England. The plaintiff was a solicitor of
Newton, and a Commissioner of Land and
Assessed Taxes, and the defendant, who is
proprietor of the Newton Journal, published
a couple of anonymous letters, in one of
which the writer styled the Tax Commis
sioners, of whom the plaintiff was one, as
specimens of the "long-eared, flat-shoul
dered and cut-hammed breed," and asked
whether they had "skedaddled." He also
charged them with being unscrupulous, and
a crew of jobbers and incapables. It was
urged for the defence that the plaintiff, as
a public man, was subject to fair criticism
beyond the bounds of which the letters did
not go. " 0 that I had been writ down an
ass I " was the prayer of a noted character,
and the plaintiff had not suffered in the
least from the imputation contained in the
letters. The Judge pointed out that to
prove a libel it must be shown that the
defendant had malice towards and went
out of his way to make a personal attack
upon the plaintiff. The jury found a ver
dict for the defendant.

OBITUARY'.
HON. THADDEUS STEVENS.
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens died at his resi
dence, in Washington city, on Tuesday
night last, at 12 o'clock, in the 77th yea ;of
his age.
The deceased was' barn in Caledonia
county, Vormont 43.,.pril 4tb, 1702. In 1814
he graduated atDartmouth College, and
soon after removed to PeOnsylvania. Here
he studied law and taught school at the
same time, and, after being admitted to the
bar, located himself at Gettysburg. His
talents as a lawyer soon secured him a largo
practice. ills entrance into political lite
dates from 1833, when he was first chosen a
member of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
to which body he was returned in 1834,
1835, 1837,1838, and 1841. Hewes a zealous
advocate of the Common School system of
the State, and in '1836 delivered an able
speech in its behalf. In 1836 he was a
member of the Conveatlon 'which revised
the State Constitution. In that body he
took a conspicuous part, bitterly op
posing the limitation of the elective fran
chise to white men, and 'when the word
"white" was inserted he seemed to take no
farther interest in the proceedings of the
Convention, and refused to sign the instru
ment when completed. He was ap
pointed to the office of Canal Commissioner
by Governor Rituer. At the end of Rit
ner's term, in 1838, when David A. Porter
was elected over him,
occurred what is
known in this State as the Buck Shot War.
The election for Governor bad been very
exciting, and each party charged the other
with the perpetration of frauds. Mr.
Stevens, having been returned to the
Legislature, was the recognized leader of
his party in the Lower House, and in t
struggle which foLowed he displayed the
same characteristics which have caused him
to be recognized as the leader of the party
in the Lower House of Congress for some
years past.
In 1842 he removed from Gettysburg to
the City of Lan.:faster. Here he immedi
ately assumed rank as a leading lawyer,
and for many years had a large and lucra
tive practice. As a lawyer he deservedly
ranked high, being not only well read but
combining with extensive and accurate
knowledge, ell the qualities which goto the
making up of a successful practitioner and
pleader. In his intercourse with the bar,
and especially with the younger members of
It he was courteous and affable. 1-lie kind
ness to young men was a marked feature
of his character, and this was not circum
scribed by party limits or any narrow
boundaries, He was frequently employed
In the trial of important cases elsewhere in
the State, and was widely recognized as a
leading man in his profession.
In 1818 he was first elected to Congress
from this district and returned in 1850. In
1058 be was re-elected and has represented
this district ever since: During the Thirty-
Seventh Congress be was appointed Chair
man of the Committee of Wuys and
Means, having previously served on vari
ous important Committees. This position,
together with his peculiar disposition and
characteristics, gave him the leadership of
his party, which be held without rivalry to
the last, The infirmitiesof advancing years
and the ravages of organic disease of the
heart, combined with other physical ail
ments, at lust so impaired his bodily vigor
that lie had to be carried to and from his
seat in the House for months together. Ills
voice became so impaired that be could
scarcely be heard when attempting to speak,
and of late most of his speeches had to be
read by the Clerk of the House. But, still the
indomitable will of the titan seemed to trl
tunph over all the ills of the flesh, and, in de
livering his late speech on the payment of the
ilve.twenty bonds In legal tenders, he is said
to have spoken with much of his former
energy and vigor. This was a subject which
'he seemed to regard us presenting it ques
tion between monopolists end the over
taxed musses, and on which he felt and
spoke for the populace with the seine spi, it
that characterized life opposition to slavery.
His course on this question excited much
entogonisin in his party In this coun
ty, and throughout the country, but no
one dared to become u candidate against
him, though a number eagerly coveted
the position. Just after the close of
the late session of Congress an attack of
diarrieva still further weakened ids ex
hausted system. lie seemed to rally again,
however, and, lied he lived four days
longer, lie would have been renominated for
Congress without opposition.
This is not the time for comments upon
the actions and opinions of the deceased.—
We have not ono harsh word to utter as we
stand in the presence of the dead. History
will assign to Thaddeus Stevens his proper
place, and to her impartial award of merit
or demerit we leave him.
Last Hours of Thaddeus Stevens—Pre.
partitions for the Funeral.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12
At five o'clock Dr. N. Young visited him,
who said he must not be fatigued with talk
ing, and pronounced hint in a sinking con
dition. lie was constantly fed with pieces
of ice. It appeared as if an inward fever
was consuming his vitals. When the ice
melted in his mouth, ho would reach out
his hand for more, and appeared to enjoy
the relief afforded by being tanned.
About seven o'clock the two colored min
isters, Rev. Mr. hull and Rev. Mr. Reed,
both of the Israel Methodist Church, arrived
and requested permission to see Mr. Ste
veils and pray with him. When asked if
they should do so, he said, " Oh, yes!"
These colored ministers then entered the
bed chamber and approached the bedside.
Ile looked toward them, nodded his head,
and smiled. Rev. Mr. Mall said : " Mr.
Stevens, you have the prayers of all the
colored people of the country." He again
nodded his head. They then prayed at his
bedside until eight o'clock, when they re
tired." About nine o'clock Dr. Young again
called, and bad a brief interview with his
patient. The Doctor pronounced him dying,
and so told him. Mr. Stevens looked ut
him, nodded his head, but made no reply.
Dr. Young informed the household that his
patient would in all probability die before
morning. Sisters Loretta and Genevieve
came in, and at once proceeded to read the
prayers for the departing soul. In the
meantime Mr. Stevens lay quietly on the
bed, and when asked any questions by his
relatives would say "yes" or "no" quite
distinctly. The Sisters desired to pertorm
the baptismal rite, and no objection being
made, Sister Loretta performed the cere
mony in an imprestive manner. At eleven
o'clock it was observed that he opened and
closed his eyes with a nervous twitching,
but still appeared conscious, and still con
tinued to swallow the small pieces of ice
that were placed in his mouth.
There were in the room ut this time two
Sisters of Charity, Thaddeus Stevens, Jr.,
Mrs. Smith, S. Stevens, Mr. J. Scott Pat
terson, of the Interior Department; his
body servant, Lewis West; his coachman.
John C. lipheus, and several of the house
servants. Simon Stevens sat upon the bed
fanning him ; young Thad stood by the bed
side bolding his hand; Mrs. Smith knelt
at the foot of the bed, while the Sisters,
also kneeling, continued to rend the pray
ers for a departing soul.
The scene at this juncture is described by
those who were present as mostsolemn and
impressive. Tho plaintive tones of the holy
Sisters, the repressed and troubled breath
ing of the dying man, and above all, the
feud and violent palpitation of his heart,
mingled with the sobs of his faithful friend
and housekeeper, Mrs. Smith, and his ne
phew Thaddeus, were the certain indica
tions of the presence of the angel of death.
A few moments before midnight his eyes
closed, and he seemed apparently to sink
into a quiet sleep. The clock struck 12, and
his spirit passed from his body. Although
it was at the dead hour of nigut, it was but
a short time before the news of the event
was known at the newspaper and telegraph
offices, and with the morning's dawn tire
news bird doubtless reached every section
of this country and been finished across the
broad Athintic to the four corners of the
globe. The Sisters of Charity at once com
menced to recite the prayers fur the dead,
while those in the room remained. Mrs.
Smith nud young Thaddeus exhibited their
grief in most violent demonstrations, and
were finally conducted from the room.
Surgeon General Barnes detailed Surgeon
li. F. Schnfhirt, of the Medical Museum, to
embalm the body and prepare It for inter
ment, and at 10 o'clock this morning the
doctor had finished Ills labors. The body
was then dressed In a stilt of plain black
clothes, and laid in state in the parlor of his
residence on South 11 street, where It has
been visited to-day by hundreds of his
friends. Looking at the face of the corpse
to-day, it was dlll3cult to perceive any
change in a single feature, and from the
solemn surroundings and the presence of
mourners the impression that lie was en
joying a calm, contented sleep, readily
suggested itself.
His face, in the littler years of his life, was
as colorless and almost •as bloodless as
parchment, and it still retains its natural
paleness, while both hands are fully open,
evidently proving that he did not suffer
much physical agony, save and except the
agonies of death,
He will be laid out in a suit of black, the
same dress In which he usually appeared
in the House.
Lemuel Williams, the undertaker, has
prepared a rosewood coffin, adorned with
silver handles and silver mountings, and
lined with white satin. The silver plate
upon the coffin bearfi the following inscrip
tion:

Funeral of Thaddeus Stevens
The funeral of Thaddeus Stevens drew to
Lancaster a number of people. Prom the
county numbers came In carriages, while
the different trains brought delegations and
detached parties from Harrisburg, Read
ing, Philadelphia and West Chester. The
largest attendance from the county was
from the neighborhood of Christiana and
from the Quaker settlements. The colored '
population of the surrounding towns turn
ed out in force, and the cars which arrives
were tilled with a promiscuous crowd of all
colors, the sable and sallow predominating
in most instances very decidedly. A large
number of deeply interested Radical poli
ticians from the county were on hand, to
hear the count of the election held on Sat
urday for the nominations of candidates,
and to speculate as in the succession to
Congress. There was much cyphering and
any amount of caucusing among those who
were present.
The negro officers of the Butler Zouaves,
who had accompanied the body from Wash
ington, did not remain to take part in the
funeral.
During the morning many people passed
through the residence of the deceased and
took a last look at the remains. The body
had been carefully embalmed, but this did
not entirely prevent decomposition from
displaying itself. The face was darkened
with purple spots, the eyes much sunk
and the sides of the neck were also dark.
' Still the appearance was natural and the
strongly marked features bore the simili
tude of life.' _
The depot, poet office, Republican news
paper offices, and some private residences
along the route were either draped in black
or hung out craped flags at halt-mast.
Before the hour of the funeral a consider
able crowd of people had collected In South
Queen street, near the residence of the de•
ceased, and along the side walks on the
route to be taken by the procession. At 2
o'clock the funeral exercises began at the
house by au invocation from Rev. A. H.
Kremer, of the German Reformed Church,
followed by reading of the Scriptures by
Rev. Bishop D. Bigler, of the Moravian
Church, and a prayer by Rev. E. H. Nevin,

ert, residing at Marti() Forge, this'eounty,
was recently drowned in the Pequea creek.
The lad was about fourteen years or age,
and at the time he was drowned he was
bathing in water only two or three feet in
depth. He called for help but the other
boys, who were bathing with him, were on
the opposite side of the creek. A man went
to his assistance after hearing the cries of
the boys for help, but he could not see any
thing of the boy, as the water was' very
muddy. After a thorough search the body
of the boy was bound, too late, however, to
attempt any means of resuscitation, life
being entirely extinct.

berry street near West King street, was
broken into, and the rooms thoroughly
ransacked for valuables; there was some
money, In one of the drawers, which was
overlooked by the burglars and thrown out
on the floor of the room. Nothing of any
great value was taken.
The house of Mr. George Martin, Jr.,
which is In Mulberry street adjoining that ;
of Mr. Roland Dorwert, wee also broken
into, and after subjecting the house to n
thorough search the robbers found slt3 which
they carried off with them.
The next house entered was that of Mr.
Samuel Erisman situated in Vine street •
near the above places. Tots building was ,
like the others well searched and the booty
obtained by the thieves wee about $25,
The next place broken Into was that of
Mr. Henry Waters located In Charlott, ,
street above West Orange street. Tee •
amount 01' money obtained at Mr. Waters'
was considerable. A sum of money amount
ing in the aggregate to over $B9, Is $2O
note between the leaves of a book was
not discovered by the burglars,) and a
valuable silver watch, all belonging to Mrs.
Pollock, mother-in-law of Mr. 'Waters,
were carried off; the watch was valued at
about $3O. The thieves did not take the
chain and seal belonging to the watch, these
were thrown aside probably through fear
that their possession might ultimately lead
to the detection of the guilty parties. The
burglars took the sliver spoons found in
the house and after breaking them up
threw them away, doubtless fur the same
reason that they left the seal and chain.
Three or four trunks standing In the house
were broken open and their contents scat
tered about the rooms; the feather beds
were also cut open and the feathers strewn
around in such a way as to Indicate that the
robbers endeavored to make their search In
a thorough but hasty manner
The house of Mr. Daidel Kurtz, next to
that of Mr Waters, In Charlotte street, was
also broken into, but nothing of value was
stolen therefrom. A Bond from the County
, Commissioners for $l5OO was found and
after being carefully examined by the rob
bers was left by them uninjured.
The dwelling of Mr. John Harpel situ
! ated on the corner of 'West Chestnut and
I Charlotte streets, was also entered, and after
the entrance was effected, the burglars ran
i sacked the house, but did not obtain any
money. There was a considerable amount
of money in the house in an old stocking,
but the thieves tossed the stocking on the
, floor among a lot of other articles without
1 suspecting its contents.
The entrance of the burglars into the dif
ferent dwellings was effected, In some In
: stances, by picking locks, and in others by
sawing out a panel of the doors and enter
ing the houses in this manner.
No clue has as yet been obtained to the
parties who committed these burglaries;
Three men were yesterday evening arrested
on suspicion, and were brought before the
Mayor, but, as there was no evidence of
sufficient weight to justify their further de
tention by the authorities, they were dis
charged from custody.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—An alarm of fire
was raised about noon on Sunday by some
persons at the depot, which soon became
A general and resulted in the bringing out in
full force, of a large number of the steamers
and hose carriages by the different fire
companies of the city. On returning to
their respective engine houses from
the fire the Friendship Steamer and
Washington hose carriage commenced
racing up North Queen street, and when
I just beyond Michael's Hotel two young
men who had hold of the,rope of the Friend
' ship steamer fell, and before they could re-
Dover themselves were run over by it. One
of them Frank Trout, son of Adam Trout,
hotel keeper in West Orange street, was
struck by the tongue or pole of the steamer
on the hip, which was cut quite badly, and
the wheel passing over his left arm broke
it near the shoulder, he was also severely
injured in the back by being struck by
the coal box of the engine as it passed
over him. He was conveyed to his home
whore his injuries were attended to by
Dr. Muhlenberg, who pronounced them
of a very serious but not fatal character.
The other injured party is Charles Hewea,
son of Mr. John Hewes, residing in West
Orange street, near the St. John's Lutheran
Church. The wheels of the Friendship
Steamer passed over this young man's leg
just above the ankle breaking it very badly.
The broken bone protruding through the
bruised flesh. It was at first supposed that
perhaps the injury was of such a character
as to necessitate amputation, but we are in
formed ibis morning that the attending
physician Dr. Muhlenburg thinks that this
will not be required, and that the limb will
be saved.
A Btu BAIIY.—Nine Points, this county,
rejoices In the possession of a boy, whom
we consider hard to beat. He is just live
months old—is 30 inches in height--meas
ures 22 inches around the chest, 10 inches
across the shoulders, 13 inches around the
largest part of his leg, and weighs 21) lbs.—
His worthy parents, Mr. & 111 rs. Jacob 'l'.
Ferree, us may well be supposed, are not a
little proud of their huge piece of juvenile
humanity, and as they are both staunch
Democrats of the old school—the party may
well rejoice at this " large" accession to its
ranks—for he will doubtless be brought up
In the Democratic faith.
LAIIO/:: POLITICAL MEETING.—The De
mocracy of Elizabethtown borough met and
effected en organization on Saturday, by
the election of the following officers Presi
dent, W. II Wagoner; Vice Presidents,

goner, and Capt. H. A. Haines. Elizabeth

RADICAL MEETING AT TUE BLACK HORSE
TAVERN.—The Radicals of Cocallco town
ship tried to get up a meeting at the Black
Horse Tavern in Coeslico township on the
12th inst, but not more than half a dozen
reported to the call. A certain major from
Ephrata attempted to make a speech Ito
them, but the main orator, a legal gentle
man from this city, who talks Dutch and
English Indiscriminately, retired to bed in
a fit of deep disgust. He swore be wold'nt
and could'nt speak, and he did'nt. " Let
us have peace."
REMAICKABLE.-Mr. Ziegler, of Ephrata,
this county, informs us that In that place
recently Lizzie Miller, aged about twelve
years, and a little boy, Martin H. Miller,
aged. ten years, book hands with eleven
grandparents and great grandparents. The
following were the great grandparents :
John Royer and wife, Henry Miller and
wife
' Abraham Bear and wife, and Benja
min Bollinger (wife deceased). The grand
parents were Peter Miller and wife, and
Samuel. Bolinger and wife.
A CORRESPONDENT in the Southern part
of York county writes to ns that the wheat
crop, in that locality is very good ; the oats
crop is very poor, the grain being very
light. The corn crop looks excellent and
promises a large yield. The Slate Quarries
are doing a brisk business; boating on the
Susquehanna and Tide Water canal is at
present ratherdull. No fruit at all In that
portion of York county.
