SIEVXNS' AND BUTEEB'S VIEWS ON IATFEACE 1LENT-BECOSSTBVCTIOS, CONFISCATION AND DIS FBANCHISEilENT. Thc Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes under dato of Friday last : A deputation of Loyal Leaguers, composed o? members from Virginia and North aud South Car? olina, to tho number of elovon, mare than one-halt of whom wjre col red, called ou Thaddeus Ste? vens to-day, and had a long conversation with him. Mr. Stovons said, in reierenco to impeach? ment, tnat tue timo had cone by tor its enforce? ment. Twelve mo.iths ago the measure should have beon | ut m force and the President removed. A great mistake had been made in the whoie mat? ter, owing to tho ceueral ignorance ol' tho term impeachment as interpreted by American law. It meant properly prevention of wrong doing by the removal of the cause. It was based on political grounds, not criminal, and meditated no punish? ment, a.i tue letter of the English la.v prescribes. The testimony for tho groater part was wholly irrelevant, and should have been confined to proving tho detriment to tba country's inter? ests of the Piesidontiai policy. Of Mr. Wilsor's arguments ho entortaius but a poor opinion, und coasid-T? ho knows less of Aoiencau than ho does of English la.v. l'alkin.; of reconstruction, he said h. was about to introduce a bili into Congress to pr?vido t?at a majority ot' registered votes are not necessary to ratify tho new constitutions; to authonZj a lo..al provisional government for each State, giviug tho governors the appointing of of? ficers, and aiso giving them power to make requi sit.ons for truop3 wneu needed; fi tally, it snail provide that tho two-fifths of the oolored people wno had no Coagression il representation formerly shad bo entitle . to elect Congress :.cn at large from the different States. His views on confisca? tion were rendered ia allegory, as if a *r>aa carno in his house aud stolo a portun of h s prop.ny he should lino him io tne amount of what was stolen. T ia rebels co it this Government a considerable am aunt, besides stetiinsr property not thea: own, and no should be satisfied to sea them obliged to make due restitution. He inquired partic? ularly of the co orod delegates the number of persons in thea* respective sections who owned large estates and their present ma? terial prosperity. Ho had no hesitation in reasserting that they were acting outside of thc conj-titutiun ia many respects. It had become too old-fashioned tor the requirements of this pro? gressive n_'e, and, in fact, alter the lapse of every generation the constitution should bo rcmodellod to ko.-p pace with the advancement of ideas. Of Senator Wilton and others of that class he said they were a tender-hearted set of fellows, who were trying to layup a few shekels in H .avon. Tender-hearted was the term he heard some poo pic apply to t.io.n, but be would rather designate such tenderness a softening of tho brain. One of the delegates informed h:m that the colored folk in the South were accustomed to oner up prayers for his restoration to healtu aad strength; to which ho replied that no placed more reliance on tho efficacy cf their prayors tuan those of a good many white people at the North. Atter leavuig Mr. Stevens *.be deputation pro? ceeded by appointment to hold au interview with General Butler, who rtcoived them very cordially. Being asked what class of persons ho thought should be debarred tne privilege of voting, tho General repLed, the rule should bo that every man who held a place of trust under tne Government, ld gave his assent or assistance to u,e a State out of thc Union, should be disfranchised because he betray ed hi? tra t. Ho did not think disfran? chisement was a punishment, but rather as a means of preventing the recurrence of rebel? lion. He was opposed singling out certain mea for disfranchisement because they held high rank ia tho rebel service, as a Major or Brigadier-General might be less traitorous in his instincts than a Captain or a Colonel. Th ire w<t? ono thing which be noticed did not occur to the mind of any ono in any of their conventions down South. A provision should bo made that no one beloneing to the clast38 disfranchised should bo a member ot any chartered corporation, and if tue fact of such a pereoa being a member of a chartered company were made a bar to any suit Drought bv that com' {>any in court, these corporations would be kept ia oyal hands. The li fl ut-nee of these corporations had not been properly estimated. If they would let bim run their ban s, insurance offices and rail? road concerns, he was in differ eut as to who ruled their votes, for he would rule the State. These men who are not allowed th 3 right of voling should not certainly have bank charters aad other privi? leges heaped upoa them.. By passing such a law as he suggested, the General continued, thove met wouid be excluded from railroad companies, and they (the colored peoplo) would be able to ride in the cars and get employment in a hundred posi? tions on the railroads. A colored member of the deputation- barned Haine*, of North Carolina, cc-apj?'nft,i'th.it tbs M?Jlablt CA mt?WP".esenting and slandoi S?efrhat tv ^rfSE people,, and also SKHSSnlS? Catted States soldiers ia Gen ST vvoro concentrated by order of where * * - in four places on the railroad lines th? - ^iey were least needed for the protection of oolored people. General Butler suggested no solution of these troubles. Colonel Moss, of Mi?3oari, thought the best so? lution would be to put all the 8tate offices ia the hands of loyal men. . , , , General Butler replied that he should introduce such a bill into Congress and endeavor to put it through. The Senate, he said, was slightly con? servative, but while it cannot be got to nievo for? ward much it cannot bo got to take a step back? wards. Tnere was no danger, he thought, of there being any reaction on th* question of manhood .nm age. He believed there was a great miscon? ception in the North about the numbers of the colored peoole in tho South, and in place of four, he was satisfied there wer? seven millions there. When the last census was taken slavery existed, and on each slave a tax was levied, so that it was profitable *J the slaveholders to understate the number of their chattels. Allowing one voter to every seven of the colored population, he calculat? ed from the number registered that the total, men, women and children, must be about what ho stat? ed. Everything predicted of the negroes, he com tended, had been falsified by the resulte. Now they say they aro going to rise; but as they are atop of the heap no occasion exists for thom to rise. Before leaving the North and South Carolina members of the deputation extended an invitation to the General to como aad visit their coaveatioas, after he gets through with the one aow ia session at Richmond, wait uer he intends to start somo dav next week. There ie ao question that but two other mon, Thaddeus Stevens aud Ben Wade, sharo in aa equal measure with Butler, the favor and admira? tion of the Southern negroes. A few nights ago, at a colored meeting in Richmond, B..tler was de? clared the choice tor President and Ben Wade for vice-President. Ihe General intends to make an extensive tour of the South, and put down a sys? tem of political wires that may disconcert the be6t laid schemes in ?egard to the Presidency at this side ot the Potomac. General Butlev contemplated a mission in the South that will startle a good many members of his party. He aims, in fact, at becomiag the leader of the catire colored race. Things in Sew York.

Thc poor man alter leaviue the omnibus hr.d threo Liecks to walk, mid was so overcome that he sank down on tho sidewalk witnin three doors ot his own dwelling. Ho was one or tho oldest and most widclv kuown mer o lants in Maiden Laue. The blasts of Winter have no restiaining influ? ence on the light-fingered gentry, one of tho bold? est and heavier robberies on record having oc? curred m YwU-atreet this morning, between Wand ll o'clock. Ihe fact? briefly are these : As thc Clearing House clerk of the Bank of tue ??tate of Now York was coming to that institution from the Clearing House, containing the proceeds or tho mooing exchanges in a bair, the latter was sud? denly seized by a couple of men, who imm diatelv jumped.into?a sleigh, in waiting Dear by, and drove off. Ihe robbery took place ncaa the office of Clark, Dodge & Co. The thievcB secured ?3 - 600.000 in checks on the bank, and about $000 in currency, mostly mutilated. 1 Le bank, it is ?aid has advices of $3,200,000 checks, so that as re-aids these it is sale; but ol'tne remaining $400 ooo ii has no knowledge. Payments on t:ie drafts have all beon stopped. The bank messeager did not surr-inder tue bag without a struggle.
