Massachusetts had in its alms houses last year 57,349 paupers—one to every 22 of its entire population ! How these paupers are cared for is shown by Benjamin F. Butler, who some years since, in a public speech in that State de clared as that : "According to the statistics furnished by the present State Legislature," as a rei>ort of their own committee," said Mr. Butler, "it is more dangerous to spend a year in a Massachusetts almshouse than it would have been to have led the charge of the Zouaves an Magenta. I see that this state ment strikes some of you almost with dread. Let me repeat. .There was a lar ger proportion of the regiment which led the attack of the battle Solferino came out from the battle than there was of the pau pers of 1858 who came out alive from the State almshouses of Massachusetts. Allow me to give you the figures. How many was the average numl>er of puupers in the Stpte almshouses during the year 1868 ? Twenty-seven hundred and some odd. How many died in the year ending Octo ber, 1858 ? Six hundred and sixty-six—one in every four. Every fourth man, woman and child that went into the State alms houses of Massachusetts, died, and was bu ried in the Potter's Field of a pauper's bury ing ground. Three hundred and forty-one children, under the age of five years, died in those charnel-houses, and the physician of one of the houses says he does uot ex pect to rear but three per cent, of the chil dren brought there under one year old ! Three out of a hundred—all the other nin ty-seven go to a nameless grave." This is protection to home industry, with a vengeance ! The Albany New Hanging—Verdict of the Coroner,a Jury. LOUISVILLE, Dec. 17.

The jury also find that the per sons who did the hanging came to this city on the Friday night train, over the Jef fersonville, Madison A Indianapolis Rail road; that they came in a separate car, ar riving hear between hours of three and four o,clock on Saturday morning; and, pro ceeding to the jail, took forcible possession of the same——denying the authority of the of the Sheriff and jail guard, who were over powered—and the former, while in the ex ercise of his duty, was struck on the heal and shot in the arms. "They also find that after hanging the deceased, they locked the jail doors, on those of the jail residents, and carried off the keys, making the inmates prisoners, at the depot to prevent an alarm being given. They then took foreeible possession of the train on the Louisville & Jeffersonville Road and left the city at four o,clock, -going be yond the State Prison near Jeffersonville, when the train was shipped and they fled in every direction."

THADDEUS STEVENS. On Impartial Review of this Distinguish - ed Kan by Senator Buckalew. MR. BUCKALEW. Mr. President, New England has given to Pennsylvania two men of great distinction, though not of equal merit, In provincial times Franklin came from Boston to Philadelphia, a fugitive youth, and entered upon that career which has l>een given to the history of the world. As author and publisher, as representative in the Colonial Assembly of Pennsylvania, as memlier and president of the State consti tutional convention of 1776 and chief exec utive officer in the government established by that convention, as aolojjiiul agent in Great Britain, as delegate l in the Continen tal Congress and signer of the Declaration of Indejiendence, as organizer of the pos tal service in the country under the Con federation, as a scientist and member of learned bodies at home and abroad, and fi nally, as our illustrious and successful min ister at the French court in the dark hours of the Revolution, he is known of all men and his name will go down to future ages. It is the pride of our people to contem plate the colossal reputation which he achieved and left behind him, and they dwell with pleasure upon the miuutest par ticulars concerning him from that hour when, obscure and friendless, he appeared in the city of his adoption to the time when "full of years and full of honor" he passed away to his appointed repose. Thaddeus Stevens came from Vermont to Pennsylvania at the ago of twenty-one. He came unherald and unattended, to carve his way to fortune among strangers. Adiims comity, Pennsylvania, lies upon the Maryland boarder, and Gettysburg is the county town—the seat of justice for the county. At that place Mr. Stevens settled after a short residence at York, and commenced the practice of law. It was not a place to make great gains at the bar. the town was not a largo, the county was not populous, the people were not wealthy. It was a rural section of the State ; rail roads were unknown, manufactures, ex cept in a small way, iiad not been estab lished ; farmers and shopmen mainly were the clients of men "learned in the laws." But there were sound elements of popula tion in the town anfl county—the German and Scotch-Irish being prominent—distin guished for industry, frugality, fidelity, and sound sense. And it was a pleasant region, broken but fertile, farm and wood land alternating in the landscape, with hill and mountain in the distance, forest-cloth ed from base to summit. There were a few scattered villages for the convenience of merchants, blacksmiths, carpenters, and other tratlers and workmen, and mills sounded along the streams. Cemetery Hill then, as now, overlooked the town of Gettysburg ; but no war—had ever echoed upon its heights, nor had its aoil received, as a harvest of battle, the bodies of our pa triot desvd. Mr. Steven's long residence in a rural district, such as I have descril>ed it, influ enced in a great degree his subsequent character and conduct. Aid it gave him a wider knowledge of men affairs than he could have acquired if he had been at all times the resident of a city. He knew the men of the country as city men cannot know them, and with him always "knowl edge was power," and he gave it practical application to the management of men. Mr. Stevens entered public life at the ripe age of forty as a Representative in the Pennsylvania Legislature from Adams county. I shall not detail with exactness or at length the facts of his public career ; nor shall I pronounce an eulogium upon him or express emotions of personal grief at his removal by death from a field of ac tion and service in which he was conspicu ous. His labors will be detailed more fully by others, and his character is one not so much for eulogium as for analysis and for reflection. And as to manifestations of sensibility at this time, I have to say that I think it w ill be proper to regard some what his example upon like occasions, and his general views concerning funeral so lemnities. He did not resj)ect insincere or undue praise of the dead, and he always re fused to wear crape in honor of their memory. But some notice of his life and character by the two houses of Congress is most be coming in view of his eminence and of the influence which he exerted upon legislation and upon popular thought. And such no tice may be made instructive to men of the present and to men of future times. The first knowledge I recollect to have acquired of Mr. Stevens was in 1838. It was from a speech which had been delivered liy him in the Legislature of Pennsylvania upon the subject of education. After the lapse of thirty years I can remember that he spoke of the time when ' 'the atoms of creation shall bubble in the crucible of the Almighty," meaning the time of the final destruction of the earth. When I read that, I thought, with the taste of a boy, that it was a most eloquent and admirable passage. Ido not think so now. Mr. Stevens for many years (both with in and without the Legislature) canducted or assisted to conduct a war upon the in stitution of Free Masonry, and eventually set on foot a legislative investigation of its mysteries. In those years he showed him self to be an able and eloquent leader of party, and obtained for the first time dis tinction and influence. But his efforts were unsuccessful. Masonry stands as it has stood for ages among the benevolent institutions of civilized States. Mr. Stevens contributed some brilliant speeches to the cause of education in Penn sylvania, though his influence in the estab lishment and support of our common school system has been somewhat exag gerated. Hie service in the canal board of Penn sylvania, to which he was appointed in 18- 38, provoked much denunciation, particu larly as regarded the making and abroga tion of contracts upon the public works and the uses of a fund provided for their , repair ; and his connection with the diffioul- j ties ot Harrisburg in 1839 provoked still more. The question in 1839 was one of party power in the Legislature, and it arose np on the election of members from Philadel phia county. There was a great excitement, and the public peace was imperiled. Troops were brought from Harrisburg, and citizens flocked there in large numlters from all jmrts of the State. Eventually the difficul ty was composed by a recognition of the members really elected, and the disturb ance was given to history under the name of the '-Buckshot war." I believe there is now but one opinion upon what then took place, and that is that Mr. Stevens and those who acted with him were entirely wrong, and that a decision was reached under the pressure of popular opinion. Mr. Stevens was prominently connected with the creation of the public debt of Pennsylvania, as he was with that of the United States. I think that one third of the former was due to his efforts and influ ence in the uassage of appropriations not always well cobsidered or judicious. Struck by the advantages of public works in in creasing the wealth of the States antf the prosperity of particular districts, his habit of mind was to overlook particlar obstacles and cautious deduction. His imagination kindled in contemplating remote but graud results and he scorned the reasonings of prudence, and was indifferent to the means by which he wrought. I know it may be said that it is easy now, with results before us, to condemm such improvements as the Gettysburg railroad, the Erie extension, and the Wiconisco feeder, and that the men of 1838 should not be judged in the light of our present information. But I must declare my fixed conviction that the conduct of public men in their appropria tions of public money and creation of pub lic debts should be judged by stern ndes. They are the trustees of property interests not their 'own, and their errors and im providence must not go uncoudemued. Mr. Stevens was a member of the consti tutional reform convention of 1838, but was not an active member during the lat ter part of its proceedings, nor did he sign the amendments {proposed by it for popu lar adoption, for the reason already stated by my colleague. I turn, however, from his State to his congressional career. He came into Con gress twenty years ago as a Representa tive from Lancaster district. After a ser vice of four years he was absent eight, and then, being again returned, was a leading member of the House until his death. These words—a leading member —are not exaggeration. He led others, and was not led by them ; and he had two capital quali fications for mastership in the House. He hail a very vigorous will, and had wit also, which was to him a powerful instrument for both aggressive and defensive debate. Mr. Stevens was in the latter part of his career sometimes pleasantly called "the great Commoner but this invitation to a comparison between him and Chatham was not well advised. Perhaps it does not de serve serious treatment, but as there is no eminent public man in our political history with whom Mr. Stevens can be compared —none especially like him—we may be ex cused for pausing upon this invited com parison with a foreign Statesman of a for mer age. Pitt, unlike Lord North was not a man of wit ; but his general powers of intellect for parliamentary service were unrivalled. Besides, his abilities were well suited to executive service, as shown by him when chief minister of the Crown. — He united prudence with daring, and was as sagacions as he was bold. Burke has ; told us of his achievements when he first | held the powers of the sovereign andenjoy ed the confidence of the Commons ; and the subject was worthy the hand of that great master. It is true that points of re semblance may be mentioned between the British statesman and the American leader. Both were men of Btrong will ; both had large influence in representative bodies ; both were greedy of applause, though proud, self-sustained, and undemonstra tive in its enjoyment ; both were leaders of party but often exhibited independence of party control ; both hail the great gift of eloquence, though in different manner and in unequal degree. Pitt's elocution was sonorous and commanding, his senti ments lofty, his language, "drawn from the wells of English undefiled," was polish ed, vigorous, and pure. Beside* he had a moral weight which is sometimes wanting to public men. For he was deeply attach ed to a lawful spouse, and he respected all those proprieties of private life and of pub lic station which go to make up admired i character. Mr. Stevens had not a high opinion of men with who he was brought in contact. His eye was keen to all their defects, and he felt his own mental superiority. This (jave him coolness and confidence for de bate. Besides, his training at the bar had taught him forensic art and exercise had strengthened his logical powers. He had the great merit of speaking with directness and of controlling his topics instead of be ing controlled by them. Therefore he Vas not tedious, aud was always instruc tive. Among the measures supported by Mr. Stevens in Congress was one to regulate the price of gold, or to prevent speculative sales of gold, a measure to which there was but one objection, which was that it under took to accomplish that which was imposs ible. It was repealed soon after its pas sage. He was early in the war an advocate for the issue of Government notes, and carried through the House the first bill for that purpose. Long aftewards he desired to is sue $500,000,000, in addition to the great volume of government currency then in circulation, but did not secure the adop tion of his views. He had more confidence than most men in paper money, and de nied always the liability of the Govern ment to pay its obligations in coin except where expressly stipulated by contract. He was sincere anil earnest in pursuing his objects and not scrupulous in the use of meuns for their accomplishment. Party was with him but a means to an end, and he never hesitated to unite with i>olitical opponents to secure his purpose. There were many notable instances of this con duct during his service in the House. His impatience with political associates when they differed from liim was often strongly manifested ; in private discourse without restraint, and in public without emphasis, though with more of decorum. Nor did he withhold himself upon occasion from directing his shafts of satire ugainst partic ular memlters of this bod v. Upon the conclusion of the war Mr. Ste vens announced his theory of conquest an<l the policy to be predicated thereon. There was a doctrine of forfeiture involved in the former, which, being written in no code nor illustrated by any American example, was slowly accepted in the counsels of liis party and in the debates of Congress. It was that the southern States had forfeited all right to self--government and to their civil institutions by rel>ellion against Fed eral authority. Assuming, next, that this Govern me at as conqueror of those States had by virtue of the laws of war complete power over them, the way was open for propositions of policy concerning them. Gradually his theory prevailed, and many measures fonnded upon it have been passed and executed. He lived longed enough to see his theory accepted and his policy triumphant. In his own party doubters had become resolved, the 'timid emboldened, the refractory subdued, all opposition intimi dated or silenced. His passions and his will hud their complete gratification, ex cept in the two important p;irtieulars of confiscation and impeachment. From all this it will appear that he died at a fit time to be canonised as a great and successful leader of party. Mr. President, for what will men care to rememlier Mr. Stevens ? He will be re membered for his wit and humor, which were genuine and constant ; suited to en liven a dull debate or a tedious trial ; to charm a social circle or an occasional companion. He will be remembered as a lawyer, able, eloquent, and careful; fit for the rough work of a nisi prius trial or for grave de bate in a court of error. Men of the legal profession will hold in memory one who adorned that profession and won its tri umphs. He will be remembered for some gener ous acts to persons in misfortune ; acts magnanimous and noble, which he did not publish abroad, but have transpired through the gratitude and admiration of others. He will be reniomltered as a parliamenta ry leader ; as the man who, beyond anv ex ample since Randolph and Clay, gained the ear of th House and held it for many years against all competitors- in all the years of the war and since the war—and resigned his influence only with his life. Lastly, he will be remembered for his support of emancipation and colored suf frage, great questions which, whatever may be their merits, will be of enduring interest. He projected some and support oil all the the measures by which they were established and upheld during his life, and left his name to be associated with debate and discourse upon them hereafter. Sir, men will la? apt to forget his imper fectious of temper, his defective moral or ganization, his disregard of proprieties in speech and conduct, his occasional defi ance of public opinion, and generally the errors and faults of a lifetime of contest, in contemplating his true and undoubted ti tle to tuture fame. If in examining his character I have spoken with freedom and have not withheld the truth which told against him. it has been done in all loyalty to our common manhood and in view of those purposes of instruction with which my task was begun. And thus I leave the subject and the man. A SCHOOL Month. —The Pennsylvania School Journal gives the following as the law fixing a school month: "That twenty-two days shall be held to be a school month, and that two Saturdays in each month, as the proper board shall designate, which two Saturdays shall be held to be a part of the school month, may at the discretion, and by an affirmative vote of a majority of all the members of the Board of Directors, or Controllers, be ap propriated to institutes for the improvement of the teachers of the said district: Pro vided, That in district in which thes schools are, or shall be, kept open, and in operation the maximum term now allowed by law, and the teachers employed by the year, the foregoing clause as to the m umber of days in the school month, ehal not apply any further than that the reports and statistics of the school shall be kept in accordance therewith, and that District Institute may l>e held as thereby directed; all acts or parts of acts, inconsistent herewith, be and are hereby repealed. writ is singular how clearly the Radical press can see errors and crimes in others, while it is blind to the same errors and crimes in its own party. It comments with just severity in election riots in England, and says that, in fact, the elections are not free there; but says nothing al>out the mil itary despotism which hascontrolledelec tions in our Southern States and the ty rannous decree of Congress that in three of the States there should be no election last fall. There cau now hardly be found a Rad ical newspaper in the county which does not denounce Louis Napoleon for his censorship of the press. What more has be done than General Ord did in Mississippi with McArdle When the latter sought redress in the highest court of the Nation, Congress passed a bill to deprive the court of jurisdiction in the case aud thereupon the Radical press re joiced.
