Saturday morning to preside at the ministerial

A lain 'with Thaddeus Stevens.
(Correopondence of tbo New York Tribunck.l
WAMIINGTON, Aug. 12, 1868.—About 'a fort
night before his severe illness, which compelled
him to abandon, as one of the Managers of Im
peachment, the prosecution of President John
son, I vent an afternoon-with Thaddeus Stevens.
I found Mr. Stevens in a small, Shabby, lo w
roofed room of a small, dllapidated brick house,
in a not very pleasant-looking and certainly an
unfrequented street.. Ile had evidently chosen it
for convenience rather than comfort or style. A
very plain, low-posted bedstead, a small ward
robe and bureau, a desk- and an easy chair
formed the fart:lnure of the room.. The decora•
tiona consisted only of photographs of Mr. Lin
coln and himself, and one of Miss ihnnie
busts, < but whether of Mr. Lincoln or
himself 1 'cannot now remember. Mr.
Stevens was lying on his bed, his head tied
up in a red lunadkerchlef, and his feet in a
pair of plain slippers; he was minus coat and
vest. So neatly compleP3 was his dishabille that
he alluded to It on my entry, and said he was
compelled to rest all be could, and that when not
at the Capitol he was seeking renewed strength
In repose. It was not sleep he wanted, only rest
for his bones in a reclining attitude, and he was
ready and able to talk as long as had interested
hearers._ Then, ensual---a-conversation—con
ducted principally by him—which proved's* in
teresting that I lreanediately made fall notes of
it, and have here written them out, not perhaps
in the 'order in which the remarks were made,
but with accuracy as swards his exprftatons.
It was the day before the organization of the
Court of Impeachment, and he was in unusual
spirits at the prospects of the early success of a
movement which he had inaugurated and pio
neered. The prospect of success at that time
was very flattering to the impeachers; It seemed/
that the trial, conviction, and removal of the
President would prove a fitting climax to. the
ame n ofhlamostesramtand bitterettemyTafal
during our conversation I ventured to suggest to
him that he, was almost ready to exclaim with
Stmeon, •` Lord, let thy servant depart in peace."
lie answered, without hesitation, that' he had
"no wish to go just yet.? .
"My friends tell me, " he 'addid.___"that_l_am
growittg-o an weal, and must look forward to
are early end to my va. - eer, but,''.and he spoke in
a matter-01- fact. tomr and manner, "I have no
intention of dying just yet."
• The spirit , proved, stronger than the flesh on
that occasion, though his illness compelled him
to relinquish an active part in a cause in which
he was undoubtedly enlisted heart and soul; but
he gradually sunk from that time forward until
his death on August 11. But though the flesh'
grew weak, even unto , -death, the spirit does not
appear to have faded in the least. if it were pos
sible for him to describe his own death-bed he
would doubtless say that "ho died hurrahing."
"I am going to die like Nieanor," he said to me
on the occasion I have alluded to, "In harness.
I mean to die hurrahing."!
Be attached a peculiar trie..aning , to this last
phrase, which was a favorite one with him, and I
have heard of his using it on two or three aces
-630736. One of thew is noteworthy. • A. citizen
of Knoxville, Term, had visited him, and had
conveyed to him a message of_respect and good
wishes from Gov. Browniow who, by the way,
is an admirable prototype of Mr. Stevens, pos
sessing the same earnest, bitter, and Indomitable
spirit, alike In hate and In generosity, and not
unlike in (ugliness of) person. When his visitor
was about taking his leave, Mr. Stevens said to
him-
"Give Gov. Bmwnlow my respects; tell him I
hope he will be restored t health, and live a
lung time, and that I say When hr dies to die
hurrahing." .•
During the first part of the interview some
'lung was said by me relative to Mr. Stevens's
famous speech comparing Mr: Johnson to
Charles I. and declaring the former's usurpations
greater than those of the English King, and in
any other country would have cost a king his
head. He said that the cases were parallel in a
peat many ptuliculars--in the contending par
ties, the personal actors, and the \ principles in
volved. Something of the same idea had occurred
to my mind a day orevious,' while

"Three English Statesmen,
then juin published in this country, and which
I had read in the cars on the way to
VVashington. I
__interrupted- -hbn-- -Sy-
Marking that I had come to look
upon him as the John Pym of this Impeachment,
and read to him from a note-book a passage from
Smith's volume which seemed to me to aply as
well to him as to Pym: "He had stood," says
Goidwin Smith, speaking of Pym, "among the
foremost of those 'evil-tempered spirits' who
protested that the liberties of Parliament were
not the favorer of the crown but the birthright of
Englishmen, and who, for so doing, were im
prisoned without law. He had resolved, as he
said, that he would rather suffer for speaking
the truth than the truth should suffer for want
of his speaking." I would have gone on with
further quotations, but Mr. Stevens interrupted
me—
" That is unimportant: the parallel is not
strong—not so strong as I would like to think it,
for I greatly admire_ curt and crusty old John
Pym; it is not as strong a parallel as Macaulay
unconsciously drew twenty years ago. His
arraignment of Charles 1., in the first volume of
his history, applies with hardly a change of word,
except names, to Andrew Johnson. It is really
a remarkable document. Give me that volume
of Macaulay and I will show you the passages.
I handed him a volume of Macaulay, and turn
lag to some marked passages he read rapidly,
interpolating his explanations.
" 'The day on which the houses met again' (ho
is speaklrg, yon know, of the Long Parliament
—this is our Long Congress; your paper at New
York, the World, calls us the Rump, just as the
Royalists denominated the Long
• Parliament.)
"The day on which the houses met again,' ho re=
peated, 'is one ot the that day
epochs in
our history. Prom that day dates the corporate
existence of the two, great bodies which have ever
since alternately governed the country.' (That
is prophecy with ns, and true prophecy,- too;
you'll see.) 'His first measures promised well'
(so did Jotmson's). 'He declared his determina
tion to govern in harmony with the Commons'
(that is Congress), and, for that end, • to, call
to his counsels men in whose talents and charac
ter the Commons might plade confidence. Had
he kept his promise it cannot be doubted that
the reaction which was already in progress' (and
Reconstruction was making most favorable pro
gress under poor Lincoln) would soon have be
come quite as strong as the most respectable
Royalist' (say loyalist) 'would have desired. That
the fair prospects which had bean to open be
fore the King' (that le King Andy) ;were sudden-
ly overcast, lbat hieilfe_was.daikened-biadver---
, ityandlit - lelig - thish - iiriened by violence is to be at
tributed to his own faithlessness and contempt of
law. The truth seems to be' (he read very slow
ly and emphatically) 'that he detested both par
ties into which the House of Commons was di
vided. Nor is this strange ;'for'in both those
parties the love of liberty and the love of order
were mingled, though in different proportions.
The advisers' (Stanton for instance) 'whom ll ne
cessity had Charles to d
him were by no meansa men after hisown heart.
-They had joined in condemning his tyranny, in
abridging his powers, and in punishing his in
struments. Accusations and recriminations
passed backward and -- forWard --- lietWeen
_the contending. parties. -A 11 --acctituniodation--
had - bc - calme impossible. The sure punishment
which waits on habitual perfidy had at length
overtaken the king. The distmst with whieh his
_ adversaries regarded him wacHnot to be removed -
by oaths or entreaties._ They _were convinced- -
- that they - couid be Safe only when he was utterly
helpless. Their demand.-therefore was - that he
should surrender,, not- only those prerogatives
which he had -usurped in-violation of - ancient
laws and his own recent promises but also other
_prero,gatives which the - English kin - l - Pc - hfarpos- -
sessed from time , immemorial, ,and continue
to possess at theNresent day. No minister must
be appointed, nac peer created without the con-

sent of the houses' ((very slowly and emphati
cally). 'Above all, the sovereign must resign s ,
that supreme military authority which from time
to time beyond memory had appertained to the
regal office.'" • I
Much more of this Mr. Stevens• quoted, for,
hiwbacichawlnyh:::isntoot7r.oom—the curious rea4e r will
readily fi nd the passage in the Met chapter of
Dropping poll es and the impeachment queS
lion (not as abruptly " as I do here, however), we
came to speak of the course of the newspapers
toward him, and the vast amount of vituperation
which had been poured on his head. He re
marked that he did not fret at that, It was all he
could expect, "for you know," he added, "'that I
have alwaya been a „plata speaker myself." This
led to my asking something in regard to his
early Rio and his history. As I used the
word " 'history," he glanced at ine.ouickly'
and I thought rather ammiciously, and directly'
mild, "You newspaper men are always wanting
to:get at a Man's history. As I said to a young
girl who came' to me some time ago to collect
material" for a biography of me, I have no his
tory, My life-long regret is that I have lived so
long and so uselessly." '
I ventured to sugged that his friends were not
disposed to agree with him itithe use of the word
"uselessly! _aaapplied. -to- - his-Congreealonal
achievements.. ,
"I have achieved nothing in Ccmgress. Until
the war began I was a plodder without influence,
and since it kgan I have been so radical that I
. had no control over anybody. Some of the
papers call me the 'Leader of the House.' I only
laugh at them. need them, yes; but they never
follow me or do as I want them until public
opinion has sided with me." •
"No," he added, afters pause of a moment or
two, "I'm not over proud of my Congreasional
,;career. I like my State service better. I think
and feel, I hope without vanity, that the crown
3ng.utility of sit life was the adoution - of - the -
Common School System of Pennsylvania.
"That is the work that I take most pleasure in
recalling, except one perhaps. I really think the-
grvateit gratification of my life resulted from my
ability to give my mother a farm of 250 acres,
and a dairy of 14 cows, and an occasional bright_
grrid -- i;decee loved to deposit in the j
ontsihntinn.h.v. nr 416 e B ap “ ~..t. Church
_which
she attended: This always gave her great plea
sure, and me much satisfaction. My mother,"
he suddenly, added, "was a very extraordinary
woman, and I have met very few women like
her. My father—he hesitated a moment, and
several times commenced the sentence before
pursuing it further; it was evident he was trying
to make a confession he did not dike. At length
the innate love of the truth and plain speaking
got the better of hint, and he continued:
"My father, you eee," he said, "was not a well
tado-man and the support and education of the
dependedfamily on my mother. She worked
night and day to educate me. I was feeble and
lame in my youth, and as I couldn't work on
the farm she concluded to give`me an educatton.
I tried to repay her afterward, but the debt of a
child to his mother, you' know, is one of the
debts we can never pay. Poor woman ! the very
thing I did to gratify her most hastened het
death. She was very proud of her dairy and
fond of her cows, and one night going out to
look after them she fell and injured herself so
that she died soon after."
I had heard the fact mentioned that Mr. Ste
vens had oh one occasion given $lOO,OOO to the
poor of Lancaster 'county, and I asked him about'
the truth of it.
4 '01,1 it was not true," he said. "I have never
' been able to do any such thing. I have been 'a
failure in everything. I have failed financially
three times. The , first. was through going ball=
andsecurity, and it broke up a very fine practice
I had in Adams county. The second was through
the carelessness of a partner in some iron , mills.
Notes were presented to me for payment which I
had never executed or known of., I went to my
partner and eked how it was. lie explained that
he had been losing money for some time, but as
be bad induced me to embark in the enterprise,
be bad not the courage to tell me of the losses,
and bad signed the firm name to notes without '
consulting me. 'Well,' .I esid,'what's to be done?'
He began to make a piteous moutb,but I cut him
short. don't come to upbraid you, I said. 'I
come to get at the facts. I looked over the
_books _andsa.w_ that -we- were - deeply - involved.-
Then I said to him, Ton take the works and, pay
all claims, releasing me entirely:' He declined
and lat :once said, 'Then I will , 0 and it was
thus the iron works near Chambersbnrg
came into my possession. The third time I
failed was when the Rebels burned these works.
My friends in Lancaster and elsewhere raised
about .VOO,OOO, which they tendered to me, but I
declined it, and it went to the Poor Fund, but I
did not give it. I managed to get through my
trouble, and have never taken advantage of a
Bankrupt law yet."
He evidently had some feeling on this subject,
and I asked him his views on the Bankrupt law.
"Well," he said, "personally I feel that my
creditors are entitled, among my other - worldly
goods, to my labor until I =ead. Ifrofmy debts
are not paid, then the Bankru d pt htv another
world will cancel them."
Letter from William Lloyd Garrison.
The following letter from Mr. Garrison, ad
dressed to the Secretary of the Anti-Slavery
Alliance in England, is published in the London
Slur:
' "BosTos, July 4, 1868.-=Dear. Mr. Barker
This is the anniversary of American independ
ence. One year ago to.dny I was in Manchester,
receiving at a complimentary banquet such an
expression of the feelings and sentiments of
some of your. worthiest citizens in regard
to my antislavery labors, and 'the uncon
ditional emancipation of the entire slave popula
tion of the United States, as only a vital
'interest in the great 'cause id' freedom and hu
manity could prompt. My eyes moisten and my
pulse is accelerated as I recall the occasion, and
also thefgenerous reception given to me by the
Executive of the United Kingdom Alliance ; and
•last,not least,'by the assembly of estimable ladle
convened at the Trevelyan Hotel. To all those
who participated in these manifestations of per
sonal respect and good will to my native land, I
detire my, fraternth remembrances to be given.
They so overpowered me by their kindness as to
deprive me of all adequatd power of speech ;
but4‘ there was no lack of gratitude in law heart.
As I write, the bells in all the steeples are
merrily ringing, the roar of cannon'is heard on
every side, the star-spangled banner' waves
from everyflag-staff, the city is handsomely de
corated in various quarters, the military compa
nies and civic'.processlona are thronging the
streets, the pressure of an enccitedlndLjnbilant
-pormiattorldliiiiiinitse, and the day is celebrated
In a thousand different ways. While four millions
of, slaves were clanking their chains in hope
less bondage on this anniversary, such exhi
bitions of hilarity excited my disgust, and filled
me with sorrow. ',Bnt, now ' , that •not• a slave
pollutes the soil by his tread, they sym
bolize a much nearer conformity , in prac clams
the self-evident truths contained in the Detion of Independence. Nevertheless, the cause
of impartial liberty is not so far advanced with
us'to warrant any relaxation of vigilance or ef
fort en the part of its advocates. Contempt and
hatred of the negro as 'a man and a brolher' (not
as 'a slave and chattel!) are still widely prevalent,
and constitute an immense caplialln the hands_

dominates the pseudo semi -treasonable and

most absolute manner.

rebellion, were in spirit scarcely less hostile to
the administration of President Lincoln. No
_matter: se to the candidate who may be brought
into the fad by it in Opposition to General
_Grant, he will be the standard bearer of what
ever is sedition, whatever is factions; what
ever - specially ignorant and' depraved,
whatever seeks to overturn all that has
been doze by a loyal Congrein to reconstruct the
South upon the bale of universal freedom and
justice. The approaching struggle between the
two parties will be tremendous, again testing the
`stability of our free institutions. I cannot say
that I am wholly without apprehension as to the
result; yet my conviction Is that the right will
triumph, th ough 'saved' as by fire.' The two i
allies upon which the Democratic party depend
for success are rum and hatred for the negro.
Hence in the language of Satan, in Milton's
'Paradise Lost,' they exultingly say:
" 'With this advantage then,
To union, and firm faith, and firm accord,
More than can be in heaven, we now return
To claim our Just inheritance of old,
tturer to prosper than prosperity • -
Could have assured us; and by what beat way,
Whether of open war or covert guile,
We now debate.' •

The General Struck In the 'Face by a
Leader or a Copperhead Mob at Car.
Linville, 111, • •
Main the Springfield (IlL) Journal, August 10.1
The brutish, devilish spirit which; possesses the
so-called Democracy was fully manifested on the
occasion of the passage of General Grant through
Carlinville the other evening. That party,under
the auspices of thatprince...of law fellows, Bill
O'Brien. had been holding apolitical meeting in
the town daring the , day, and, filled with bad
whisky, when they heard that General. Grant
was upon the train they started for the depot,
several hundred strong, and taking pos
session of the platform and - surrounding
the General's car, they ' set' , upon him
with the most unearthly yells and sareeeldngs,
insulting him. and his family in the most das
tardly and shameful manner... The fellowO'Brien,
whose manners and filthy as he is hkaself per
sonally, was londeet and foremost in'egging on
• the drunken mob. General Grant had raised the
window of the car for the purpose• of shaking
hands with some; friends whom he recognized,
When, one of the dirty hounds, more impudent'
thin the rest, rushed to the window, and
shouting " Hurrah for Seymour and' Blair,"
Violently BIM& - General Grant in the face
with his hat. Mr.' McConnell, who was Con
verel.nq with the General at the.time, resented the
indi;;": ~.4 , y by evingthe fellow a blow on the side
of th e seuelicr, which sent hills sprawling, ,and'
Lieutenant Mc Kee and others at once kicked
him off the platform. This, however, only the
more incensed the Copperhead mob, and though
it was intended by the decent citizens of
the place to extend to • the General who
had successfully led our armies through
the war some indication of their , per
sonal, not to say political appreciation
of bis services, it was found to be 'utterly
impossible to do so and the train passed on. The
hyenas, with O'Brien at their head, who perpe
trated the insult, were highly delighted with their
disgraceful performances, but the respectable
citizens'of Carlinville, without regard to party,
were exceedin 1 indignant that_ench..s_reproact.
ahould have been cast upon the good name of
their town; and we are not astonished. It is cer
tain that the Demberacy have gained nothing by
their bad manners.
Another Speech by /Lowell Cobb.
This Georgian has been making another speech
at a barbacne at Harlan. We extract the follow
ing from the report:
" You ask me about the negro—how to act in
regard to him. I reply : Treathim justly, gener
ously, kindly. Undeceive him. When the thiev
ing, cunning, miserable wretches who are travel
ing through the country try to deceive him. go
to him and tell him the truth. Tell him that the
charge that you want to put him into slavery
again is false. Tell him that you are now, as you
'
have always been, his best and truest ' friends.
Tell him to inquire who were his worst enemies
in the days of slavery—and he will find
that they were these miserable scalawags who
are now pretending. to be his beat friends. Their
masters were their best friends in those days, and• ,
those who were their masters then are their best
friends now, and will continue to be good to
them. I never talk politic.s with my negroes,
and yet they voted with me, and will do it again.
The only argument that I offered them was four
pounds of bacon, one peck of meal, a quart of
potatoes, a good doctor when sick, and one-fourth
of my crop. That's the very best argument
that you can offer them. Try it. You
will trod that it will convince all sensible
negroes. I don't intend to deceive these ne
groes. I don't want to put the idea into your
heads that you can control this country. You
cannot do it. If you don't know this you ought
to. The white people will control it. If they
should treat you wrong in any way, or attempt to
deprive you 9f any of your legal rights, I will
stand by you and defoul you—at the cdurt
house, here, everywhere, in protecting you in
the enjoyment of all your civil rights. These
people will vote with you, my friends, if you will
be candid with them and tell them these truths.
But suppose that the present state of things con
tinues—suppose that negro rule becomes foisted
upon this Estate, what will be.. our condition ? I
would ask the good men of - the North to reflect
upon the result; to look' upon these mothers,
these daughters, -these little children, these good
men and true; and I would say to them: "Do yon
think that these women and children and good
men ought to be placed under negro - Ittle: ) " Do
you belleve-that-the-negro-ought-to-be-elevateir
to a Social equality with them? Do you believe
thit our parlors and our dining-rooms should be
theown open and the negro invited to coins into
them, into the - society of oar families? Tell me, -
you men of the North, haye you mothers, dough-
ters, and sisters? Look at thatlittle one kneeling,
around its mother's knee; see the tear-drop glis
tening in that mother's eve; see that sister cling
ing to her parents and asking for protection from
these outrages. Oh. ,men of the North would to
God that von could Stand here and see these
women, in their tears growing prettier andpret

1 General Political Items.
London Economiat, re presentative of the
steady sentiment of Great Batain, makes this
comment npon the letter of Gen. Blair: •
• "Nothing so decidedly secessionist in tendency

since the beginning of the War. indeed, if Col. •
POLITICAL.
Blair's programme meant more than blaster, it
would mean another war. Wo o not eappose
that ibis is in the least what the Democratic party
seriously wish for. War cannot be the object of a
party, which insists on retrenchment and the re
duction of taxation. But the danger of this sort
of boast, if the party which indulges it were to
succeed In gaining power, is that it not noire--

a violence much beyond their wish and intention.
When once they have given theiroirty hope of

Aulnight Expedition of Chttstoni House
Officials capture of Otte of the
Health Oillteerws Vessels.
The New York Herald says:
"The trends upon the revenue through the
Importation of cigars without the payment of
the goverriment impost had become of so exten
sive a charaeter during the present year, and
particularly during the warm menthe, that the
customs authorities, put forth . extra energy
in the effort tce secure .their detection,
with the successful result which. the sequel will
show. The mercantile community doing bast',
neee in this article of Merchandise had long com
pleined of the injury which the illicit business of
smuggling cigar& was doing them,. and Collector
Smythe and Surveyor Wakeman were petitioned
to use their utmost endeavors to put an end to it.
The quantity of smuggled cigars thrown' upon
the market at one time' frequently amounted
to hundreds of thousands. The consequence
to legitimate dealers was of the must ruinous
character.
"The officers of the revenue service, in obe
dience to these demands, were instructed to tho
roughly examine all"chips and „steamers inward
bound from the West Indian ports, particularly
ftom Havana; but their search, was In almost all
instances without a ail. - The discoveries of cop
traband tobacco were confined to, a few handled
cigars or so in 'excess of the amount permitted
regularly to passengers. It, was evident, there
fore, that the smugglers had got out their cargoes
long before the vessels reached the anchor
age at the Upper Quarantine, below which
port the orders of Heart Officer Switteurne for
bade them to be boarded. 'Under the interpreta
tion which that officer placed upon the law he
assumed the right to probitnt the boarding et
any vessel by any person until she had passed
the inspection at Lower Quarantine, and had
gone to the upper bay. Even the revenue offi
cers referred to were denied_tha_privilege, despite
-the-high-Character of their postilion and the im
perative nature of their duties. Now, from spin
and other sources it was known, withoc
the shadow of a doubt, that illici
cigars were shipped at Havana. The strictest
search falled - to discover them when the vessels .
arrived at Upper Quarantine. The United States
authorities were, therefore, reluctantly forced to
the conclusion that the quarantine machinery
cloaked a vast amount of this contraband tr &die,
especially as the greatest quantities of cigars
made their -appearance daring the quarantine
season. The attention of the Commissioners and
Health Officer-Swinburne had been directed to
this fact, but the evil continued without remedy
or abatement.
"An expedition was determined upon, and it
was decided to catch the sloop 'Four Brothers,' a
vessel of some fourteen tons, befougiug to the
State of New York, which was employed by the
Health Officer as a tender to the hospital ship
Falcon. Her duties were the transferment of the
dead from the hospital ship to their place of in
terment and of the sick from arriving'vessels to
the Falcon. She was also used in carrying pack
ages to and from the city and was under the en
tire control of the Health Officer, Dr. Swinburne.
Suspicion was directed to her from the fact that
she had been seen to visit the vicinity of Fort
Hamilton, Red Hook and points on Staten Island
at unseasonable hours of the night, remain until
daylight and then return to her anchorage near
the Falcon, and this particularly after the arrival
of the Havana steamers.
"The cutter Uno was fitted out, the expedition
started, and about half-past eight yesterday
morning the cutter came abreast of the Falcon.
She had been running as if to pass her, with the
idea of deceiving those on the smuggler. The
Falcon was first boarded.. The Customs officials
had noticed when in the distance a couple of
boats cross the water between her and the smug
gler, and they had a faint suspicion that some of
the contraband goods had been transferred to her.
They found nothing. Sheering off they then
boarded the smuggler. Inspector K sue
dived down the companion -way and was
tossing up beds when he was in ter
jupted by the cry, 'Here they are, lots of 'em,'
from Inspector Jones, who had lifted the hatch,
leaped into the hold and was waist 'deep in ci
gars sewed up in check and canvas sacks. The
cutter then pat back to the Fele('

smuggler was examined more leisurely, and et

owner. Not
