Whereas, It has pleased Divine Providence to
remove from the scene of his labors our fellow
citizen, STEVENS, late member of

sem-lees so eminent to the cause which the Union
League of Philadelphia was orgarined to sustain;
therefore, •
Resolved, By the Board of Directors of the
League, that we deeply deplore the absence from
the councils of the nation of one so pre-eminent
for unswerving patriotism, strict adherence to
principle, and long experience in statesmanship.
Resolred, That we shall ever cherish the mem
ory of the true courage and unshrinking firm
ness with which, in the darkest hour of the na
tion's peril, he was ever ready to defend the
right and to set an example of sublime confi
dence in his nation's destiny.
Resolved, That in the struggles which lie before
us the recollection of the unfaltering energy with
which he fought thegood fight to the last, until
stricken down with the harness on his back, will
stimulate us to renewed efforts to secure for our
country those blessings for which he sacrificed
rest and health, and finally life itself.

11.--Thotte who have been fortunate enough to
reside or sojourn at this delightful retreat on the

well-kept and not crowded hotel like this, make
every luxury of the season ineltuling the Cool

During the present month the weather hero is

Of the springs that gave this place its name,
I have no means of giving any scientific de
scription. There are many within a short dis
tance of the house, and one immediately adjoin
ing, which furnishes all the drinking water and
that for the laundry. The water from a more
remote spring is conveyed In pipes through the
house, giving it an advantage over all other
summer resorts, in the eyes of those with whom
abundance of water is a necessity. A short dis
tance from the house a mineral spring of great
beauty, the water of which seems to be chiefly
e.halybe..ate, and is said to be very beneficial in
certain chronic complaints.
The chief need of this place, to make it one of
great resort, Is a shorter drive from the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. Cresson is an overshadowing
rival, and it is proposed to make a new road
from Gallitzin, which will be only three miles
long, and through a cothparatively lent country.
If this improvement should be carded out, visit
ors from the East could reach Loretto Springs
very easily,without being exposed to the tempta
tion to halt at Cresson.
The village of Loretto, a mile distant from the
' prings, is peculiar, from its being wholly Catho-
lic. There are no Protestants or Protestant
churches anywhere in this vicinity. Gallitzin,
the Polish prince-priest who founded the village,
vas followed by many European Catholics, and
their descendants compose the greater part of
the population. His old frame church still stands.
and is used for worship. There is also a very
large modern brick church. Near it is a newly
tinilt convent of the Sisters of Mercy. Beyond
the village, on a fine elevation, is a Franciscan
monastery, with a college, the buildings of which
are substantial and in good taste. On Sundays
it is curious to see the roads filled with people on
foot, on horseback, and in all kinds of vehicles,
going to the village to attend masa. One might
almost fancy himself in a Catholic part of Eu
rope.
LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
(Correepondenco of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin-)
Nr:w Youx, August 12.—The great event is the
death of Thaddeus Stevens. In all circles, espe
cially political, his life and death are being dis
cussed. By friend and foe alike his remarkable
abilities are recognized, although-of coarse varied
Judgments are passed as td his special influence
upon the political thought of the age.
The announcement of the presence of the cat
tle plague at the great stock yards of Communi
paw, and the further announcement that a
quantity of diseased meat had been sold in the
markets of New York and Broellyn,cansed much
excitement, for a time. It is affirmed the sales
of beef decreased fifty per cent, while the sales of
mutton increased correspondingly. The "stamp
ing out" process has' been vigorously used, the
cattle being slaughtered when the plague
made its appearance. The remainder of
tae diseased cattle, about sixty, were yesterday
killed, and the_ carcasses thrown into the render
ing vat The. Board of Health are acting in the
most energetic and efficient way. Dr. Harris.
Registrar of Vital Statistics, pronounces the
opinion that the disease is a malignant typhus.
The excitement is abating, it being believed that
the measures adopted by the authorities will be
found adequate to prevent any very extensive
spread of the scourge, and to prevent the sale of
diseased meats in our markets. We can assure
drovers and other dealers that the Board of
Health have "got their backs up" about this busi
ness, and any man caught trying to foist plague
diseased meats upon our tables will be handled
without gloves. Please remember that the wrath
of the Board of Health means something, for
that selfsame Board is about, the most autocratic
body of men on this continent, having powers
delegated to them, which, if they should ever be
used unwisely, would be called absolutely de
spotic. _
One good will probably arise from this evil,
and this good may be permanent. This is in the
inspection of meats exposed for sale. Neither

which were so sick that many of them could not

these cattle. Of course, if the sales had been
effected, the meat would have been , put upon the

111ADDEUS STEVENS.
Comments of the Pemba= Press upon
[From the Age—CoriperheaLl
He stood among the most prominent men of
our time. It will not be easy to name another
man who has exercised as wide an Influence, who
-has embodied so many of his ow'n peculiar ideas
in the measures and policy of the government.
The extraordinary quality in - Thaddeus Stevens
was his force of charicter, joined to a certain
simpleness of ptsrpose, and areal sincerity in the
pursuit of it. Where be had do political end to
compass, he was kind, courteous, and in his man
ners singularly winning. In parliamentary tactics
he was unsurpassed, yet not unscrupulous. Hie
word pledged to the minority weedy/aye as good
as his bond. He would crush them and their
rights remorselessly for any political purpose;
but he disdained to cheat them. When he said
there should be a chance for debate, or ether fair
play, his opponents ex pe cted it, and surely got
It He was not, we think, bitter in his resent
ments. He lately published a letter to show
that he had not impeded, in the House,
a resolution or respect to Mr. BuChanan:
It Is, we think, about a year since we heard Mr.
Buchanan. in this city, acquiesce quite emphati
cally in a favorable opinion of Mr. Stevens, to at
least- the extent here tittered:. They had long
been townsmen and contemporaries in private
and public life. We will not end this brief noticewithout adding that, to the extent of our know,
ledge, the personal integrity of Mr. Stevens Was
unimpugned. He cared nothing for mere
money. He had too low an opinion of
human nature, a contempt for it we
might say, to demand honesty from his
lowers. He let the hounds that he hunted with
devour at their will. But ,
he was himself per
sonally honest—that is to say, he scorned to
profit by jobs and thefts; on which, however, he
looked with indifference, if practiced by the men
ho served him. We dare not call such a
man great or good ; but he had qualities that often
commanded respect, which now predominates in
what we utter over his bier. He was a man,
and he often seemed a giant among the pigmies
whom he , ruled.
[From the New York Herald—Copperhead.)
In the House of Representatives he was the ac
knowledged leader of the Republican members,
many of whom surpassed him in ability, but none
of them in audacity, and, we must perhaps allow,
in sincerity. This one virtue his worst enemies
must accord to him—the courage of an openly
avowed hostility. The fact is thatjThad. Stevens
was, almoSt independently of his own volition,
11151 instrument of expressing and for
working out the predestined pur
poses of the revolution through
which the American people are passing. Male
volent, even malignant, as he appeared to be and
was in his capacity as a public man, his friends
represent him as courteous andgenial in his
private intercourse with them. Publicly he was
an evil, but a necessary evil, and one naturally
engendered by his antecedents and circum
stances. Accepted, therefore, as a typical repre
sentative of the party which recognized him as
its autocrat, he must always hold a historical
position.
Nor will the death of Mr. Stevens result in
consequences less important and historical than
the position which he held while alive. It was
his marvelous obstinacy, his Hannibal-like ani
mosity against the South, which postponed the
settlement of our national difficulties. His arro
gance as a party leader had already received a
double check in the failure of impeachment
and in the postponement of the im
peachment resolutions which he revived
after the arrival in Washington of several new
representatites from the Southern States, whom
he regarded as irrevocably committed to his own
revengefulpolicy. While we fally recognize the
talents and the strong individuality of the late
Thaddeus Stevene,and even whatever merit there
may be in the honesty of his open and avowed
hostility to all his opponents, we must regard
his removal by death as a misfortune to his party
rather than to the nation.
[From the New York Times.)
Tke death of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens deprives
the radical section of the Republican party of its
recognized leader,
and the House of Representa
tives of its most conspicuous, and, in some
respects, most influential member.
From the first an ardent politician, Mr. Ste
vens was not always an extreme one. It was as
a diligent committee "man, zealous, untiring and
faithful in the performance of the duties intrusted
to him—not as a glib and frequent speaker, or
the devotee of hobbies—thafMr. Stevens worked
his way to prominent usefulness.
The rebellion developed exigencies and created
opportunities which made the reputation of Mr.
Stevens nationaL Until then his public influence
had not gone far beyond the broad boundaries of
his State, and his Congressional influence rested
upon the thoroughness and value of his labors as
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
With the progress of the conflict came freer
scope,Tor his peculiar characteristics. He com
prehended the magnitude of the crisis, while the
majority about him saw but dimly Re propor-
Liens, and realised the necessity ..of bold,
strong measures, while others, clung to hopes of
•pacificatiOn and compromise. Ho was one of the
low who are not afraid ' , tor grasp first principles
and lay hold of great truths, or to push them to
their remotest logical result. Thus he differed
with the Administration and the, party tie to the
relation of the rebel States, to the ilatons main°
coarse that should be pur sued in regardlo them.
He discerned .the expediency of emancipation,
and urged it long before Mr. 4:mein issued hiei
proclamation _. __-

never concealed his opinions and purposes, and
never hesitated to do all that could be done to
promote them. But though ahead of the Repub
lican party, be was a steady co-worker with it
through all the stages of the war, sustaining its
every measure, and rendering valuable assist
ance to the Government in the execution of its
plans. •
It cannot be truthfully said that Mr. Stevens
exercised a happy influence over the Republican
policy in the matter of Reconstruction. His
most extreme views were not accepted by the
party. He never obtained a hearing for his con
ilseation scheme, and the territorial doctrine on
which he predicated his plans weredenied recog
nition. The Constitutional Amendment, which
was originally offered as a basis of restoration,
was se regarded in spite of him. And the condin
tione of Reconstruction, stern and a weeping idi
they are, would have been still more severe. had
his plans prevailed. He desired, in truth,to delay
rather than to hasten the return of the excluded
States, and he would have kept them out till
doomsday rather than tolerate conditions lacking
what*: deemed essentiaL
ilorazatkell. Y. World of today.,
Stevens'sMr. intellect was narrow, his
rnation limited and much of it obsolete; but
• within a eonfined range his views were abfien
larly'dear and incisive, and were marked by a
directness and consistency-borrowed from his
moral character. He scorned deceit and cant,
and had the courage Whet strictly ,logicak The
policy which he advocated was outside the Con

proclaimed it to be se. •Tira suppose he had"

bater-Alrect, pungent, concise, adroit, - a great
master of sarcasm and unsparing in the use of it.
His business qualifications were excellent,and the
business-like cast of his mind rescued him from

of Congress—prosiness, irrelevance, a circuitous
mode of approaching a subject,and a love of

Thaddeus Stevens's contemptuous application of
the epithet "scarecrow" to Mr. Greeley, does
not allude editorially to the great statesman's

" Thus one of the first effects of the communi
que and prosecution has been to draw forth this
certificate of Be:ranger to the genius of Henri
Rochefort, now the most popular man in Paris."
Among the other projects for next. session.
rumor has mentioned one which most certainly
will create a " breeze." It is said'to be the in
tention ;of the Government to ask Parliament
for an increase of £25,000 a year to the Prince of
Wales' :income. It may be remembered that
when the Prince wont to Ireland this year the
Times, in a friendly way, seized the opportunity
of putting out a "feeler" on this very subject,
but it took it In again with remarkable despatch..
We live in an ago when proposals of this kind
are certain to be very eoldly received. There
can be no doubt that the general sense of the.
nation is that enough is being done for the Royni
family, especially as the Queen 'is known to be
immensely rich, and to have hoarded a great deal
of money. The Prince of Wales, on the other
hand, is relatively poor—poorer, that is, than his
personal friends andcompanions, and much extra
expense has been thrown upon him by the duties
he has had to perform for Ins Royal mothe.r. Sup
pose, then,that the Queen give him help from her
private purse? That is the solution of ttLe Prince's
difficulties which will recommend itself most
strongly to the public. There are yet some of
the Prince's brothers and sisters for the nation to
provide for, and the Prince's own children will
require suitable provision by e&d . by. The charge
on the civil list for the reigning family will be
almost imprudently:large b, fore many years are
over. It is to be hoped, then, that the applica
tion referred to will notbemade. The Princehad
better run into debt than expose - Mmself :to the
very disag.reealde„cnmments which such a proPts
sal would UnqUebtionably make.--Lendon Car.

A good illustration of the fact that the South

ble, to compel the negroes to vote the Demo
erotic 'ticket, is afforded in the following card,
which is dated Aug. 7, 1868, and signedby Albert
Pike, and published in the Memphis Appeal:
"The members of the Democratic Club of col
ored men can- obtain from the President of the
Central Club cards that cannot be counterfeited,
reccmmending them for employment to Conser- 1 1
vatives. No others need apply. We hope Lk
hereafter, when any Democrat desires to
employ a colored man In any capacity he will
ask to see his card, and if none is produced will
refuse to employ him. To employ those
who have none will be to give aid and comfort
to the enemy. Members of the Club desiring
cards will please procure certificates of member
ship from the Secretary. The Committee of the
Central Club, appointed to registet the names of
colored men needing employment or relief, and
to procure either for them, consists of Martin
Kelly, D. Danbury and Thomas C. Smith. To
this committee, which is a permanent one,
colored men holding cards, and needing work or
relief, will apply and be registered. To the same
committee it is hoped that those Democrats who
want to employ colored men will apply.

IHE REBEL INVASIOE S.
Claims of Border Counties.
[From the Harrisburg State Guard, August 12.]
At the last session of the Legislature an act
was passed, approved the ninth day of April,
providing for the appointment of a commission
to adjudicate and record the claims of citizens of
the counties of Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Bed
lord, York,' Perry and Ctmberhuid, for damages
incurred by the rebel invasion of 1863 either
through the destruction or capture of property
by the public enemy or the appropriation of pro
perty by the Union army to the public in suppres
sion of the rebellion and Messrs.,A.S. Eby, W. W.
Woods and W. S. Woods were, appointed on the
commission, M. W. MeAlarney, Esq.,of Harris
burg, serving as secretary. This act passed
merely for the purpose of having the claims pro
perly adjudicated and placed on record for future
action. It especially exempts the citizens of
(thambereburg from such adjudication, they hav
ing been already paid a considerable amount by
the State. Though the act contemplates that the
General Government shall be called upon to set
tle these claims, the State will doubtless be asked
to pay them.
Thus far the Commissioners have visited but
three counties—Perry, Bedford and Fulton—in
which the damage was much less than in the
remaining four counties. The work has, how
ever, been vary arduous. From the gentlemanly
and obliging Secretary of the Commission we
learn that in Perry county the losses will amount
to but two thousand dollars. In Bedford
county there are fifty claimants, whose
damages amount to five thousand dollars.
In Fulton county, which, owing to Its
proxiity to the border, was most exposed,
there-Care one hundred and thirty claimants
whoa damages will reach at least forty thousand -
dollars, exclusive of the loss by a certain party
of over hundred and seventy-two fat cattle,
valued at ten thousand dollars. So that the to
tal amount of the claims thus far adjudicated is
over fifty-seven thousand dollars. No accurate es
timate on yet he formed of tne total amount of
the claims of the seven counties named in the bill.
