It is horrihlv unkind to their crest leader and master. Tji the citv of Lancaster, Penn., in the (bully North, r.i-h unto thn pure citv < f Viola* delphis, Tlraddeus Stevens has for veers lived in open adultery with a mulatto woman, whom he se luced from her hns hand, a full hluocled neoro. Ths mulatto tonnage* his households, hcth at Linens ter anci Washington, receives or rejects liis visitors at will, speaks of Mr. Stevens 1 and herself as and in all things comforts herself as if she etdoved the rights of a lawful wife. 1 have no word cf unkind'teaiftr..ejp\?#* 'rvp.j M* aVt >o"V?i as polite as weU trained neoroes jM'nf-ral ly are. As to Mr. Stevens' connection tsttli her, it is his own business, and en tiTelv a matter of taste, 1 only mention the fact lic it the till ret c.i.l'v ccc.r ..,,.nc! fied saints of the African ascendancy nnv get the hoam out of their own eve before they gou so mercilessly At the mote ir. ours. M r. Stevens was in hi* fine 'ihrr ry, quite feeble physically, hut intellectually more | vigorous, prompt and lucid than is usual in n\en seventy four years old. lie i? tall, and has the hone of a larue man, hut is now verr thin in flesh. The face and head are both good ? the ce uncertain ; the mouth, with its thin dosed lips, and the stroiio jaw tell lliesecret or the hitter Iters and lore of despotic power ami re. Venjje that fill his heart ami keep the man alive Upon first entering the room bv a door, which nave m.? a full view of the Ulan, there was something so like a smile Oil his face, that I thought Ids heart and his speeches, his cotiscience and his word*. Wero not in harmonv. This soon flitted, and from that time to the close of the in terview, the whole coo itenance?'roiti the grand, arched forehead to the hard chin ? was the Verv ide it of ruld nitiloaii !? telleot. I told liiin who I "whs, the view* I entertained, an I requested that lie would n*V nothing to me svtdcli lie would desire kept secret. A* lie had been taking a ppcal deal and was quite exhausted. I who forced tn question rapidly anil confine mv Re'f to the leading topics. The most of tlie conversation was heard by a gentleman who called with me, and who cm vouch for its correctness, which is almost ver hnl. # I told him I had come to hear frotn him, whom I regarded as the great head and mas'er of his party, just wl.at Ids party demanded and where their demands would stop?upon what terms ami at vsliat prohahle lime his party would re COgnizo the Southern States as equal members of the (lovemment?and ?o a*k iiin inn-i|>ifi? mil hi inn present inha<1 r? of reconstruction. Then pr-f?cing tlie question with the rein irk tint it ? a* an indefinite one to put to 11 geutleman, I lisked. "Do yon pursue vnur harsh pn'icv as a partv measure for the purpose of intimit dation f" 11o answered at once. "I do nothing merely for party purposes. I regard nty proposed action as equitable, and resting Upon principles of law." "Hut Mr Stevens, by what provision of the Constitution are you warranted in perverting a ?ar made to resolve adonht ful question, and tlio right itself to make which was doubtful, into an excuse for poing beyond its purposes, in treating the defeated ?o liarshlv as voil propose!" "The Constitution does not enter into the questioti?has nothing to do with it fit .-ill.
