SARATOGA RACES. Sixth and Last Day—Lobelia the Winner of the Hurdle Race, J. A. Connelly ef the Four Mile Dash, Sleety of the Mile and a Half aod Jubal of the Half-Mile Races. SaRavoga, August 11, 1868, Like all earthly things the Saratoga races have had their ending. But they died a glorious death in the* erowd, the enthusiasm and the excitement which at- tended their last moments despite the Ran. ‘Phat was the only drawback to general enjoyment and entire success, In the morning early a goodly Wind stopped the rain that had been falling at day- Might, wafted away the dark clouds and let the sun shine out like an effulgent topaz from a setting of Purest azure, The rain had tempered the atmo- ephere go that a walk in the open air was cool, brac- mg and invigorating. It cleared away the cobwebs from the eyes after the pall at the Clarendon nd made the mind at ease after the losses of yesterday. A hemisphere of blue spanned fields, trees, houses, hotels and people. The grand stand stood clear out against an unbroken sky. But it ‘was a short lived picture of beauty in nature. Just as the races began, and when nearly the last of the carriages had deposited its load at the course, and when the grand stand was filled with as gay a throng as ever assembled in gay Saratoga, the clouds com- mMenced to spit little sprays of rain and made the crowd huddle beneath its roof. The bright sunshine of the morning, that had been so promising of con- tinuance all day, gave way toa leaden sky, without a rift, and ceaseless in its drip, drip, of moisture. THE CRUSH. Crowd would not describe the gathering at Sara- toga at ten o’clock this morning, when the last long train rolled in from the South with its passengers, sleepy still after the night on the steamer or on the ears. Crush it was, everywhere; at the hotel desk, where the lengthened line of new comers took posi- tion, post office fashion, to enter their names upon the register; at the breakfast table, where many a fair dame sat down an hour earlier than usual; on ‘the piazza, where an after breakfast siesta was in- d@uiged in during the interval to getting ready; at the fancy stores, where gloves and ribbons were hased to the last moment; on the street, where e hacks were huddied together like a swarm of huge black beetles. The hotels could not fur- nish accommodations enough. “Colonization” was resorted to, and hundreds of belated ar- rivals might be seen, carpet sack in hand, trudging after the waiters to discover theit quarters in Mr: Smith’s or Mrs. Jones’ house—anywhere within two miles of the office desk, whence the expedition started, Brown, of the Union—for Saratoga like New York rejoices in a Brown—might also be seen, pencil behind ear and memorandum in hand pedestrianiz- me the streets like a two-penny postman, in search of lodgings for those who had not yet been accom- modated. The crowd has attained such proportions that it is no longer cognizant of what transpires within its own precincts. This is a curious fact about crowds. The larger they are the less they know about themse'ves. Saratoga, like the city of Washington, waits for the New York papers every afternoon to learn what has been doing here the day before. The day at Saritoga, meaning there at Saratoga, meaning thereby the por- tion of the twenty-four hours when people are not asicep, is divided into four parts. The springs are visited in the first part, making toilets AGA going to the races consume the second. The afternoon drive to the lake or elsewhere absorbs the third. The fourth is devoted to the hops and balls at night. A bar programme for all who !ike to follow it out, and their name is legion just at this time at this place. Who shail describe the TOILET MAKING this morning? Who put in prosy print the exquisite mysteries which surround the coiffeur’s art?, Who paint in dull black and plain white the fairy crea- tures that his hands have evoked? Who fix on a canvas so crude as the journalistic page the prismatic lines of silk and satin that dazzied the eyes like an omnipresent rainbow ? The races of the last day were like a court reception, @ day at the Tullleries, an au)bassador’s levee at the capital. The ladies dressed for it, because everybody went to the course. They wished to see and be seen to-day, of all others, < OFF. But the most impatient of pouting damsels is at bey pacified. ‘he last ribbon has been adjusted to its place; the last crimp has been given to the hair, the last fold taken out of rebellious crinoline. Dainty gloves of rarest hue are coaxed upon the bands; cambric has been clas) to the guardian , and, leaning on the arm of the hatless gallant, the fair figure elastically treads from the parior to carriage step. There is a bang of the door, a snap of the whip, a rumble of. wheels and the carriage is EN ROUTE. It is a lively road to-day that conducts from Sara- to the race track. It is a mass of spinnin; vehicles tearing along at the top of their horses’ speed. The dignificd phaeton is flanked by the free and barouches, all filled even to the drivers’ with faces.

THERE. “What a pity !” exclaimed a hundred little voices ‘as the rain fall First @ cool breeze swept through the enclosure, then a little feathery mist ‘was wafted in by the wind; teeth to chatter, shawis were drawn, the rain fell in drops so fine as hardly to be seen, and ere the second race was ended ‘@ light fog hazed the horses witn a film of vapor, THR HURDLE RACB. ji But no rain could daunt the interest ‘of the richt crows reased ‘d, The benches of Pt stan were a scene of beauty seldom surp: . The crowd was dense. The aisles were packed with those who had retreated from the quarter stretch, and the dar- Kies who hawked cobbiers and lemonade and bottles of Champagne, as well as the peripatetic vender of fpop cawn, 1 found difficulty in getting about with merchandise. Amid cries of ‘down in front’? the crowd would sink only to rise again asthe horses in the hurdie race came around on the homestretch. No call or command could keep it down as they went under the string and around again for the second mileéqNecks were stretched and legs were tested to the extremity of their len; as the it animals came round and dnished, the spectators uniting in a wild cheer as the race was done. The remaining races were run in the rain. After the second the rain began falling in torrents, and those who were solicitous ‘about the means of getting home as weil as those anxious the afternoon trains made a grand break for the carriage stand. HOME FROM THR RACES. How picture the scene that ensued? Amid mire through which dainty feet picked their steps most cautiously in the general scramble to get to the hacks, barouches and ‘busses, the crowa eddied ‘about the entrance until it was engulphed in the vehicles, or as much of it as could be accommodated, and then was driven away, through the still falling torrents and through showers of mud, to the village. The barouches, with their biack ollcloths htly drawn to exclude the storm, like so many catafe ated only the rate of speed at which they travelied was anything but suggestive of those mournful vehicles; while the bedraggied group inside pane nd made merry despite their plight. A few trips all around on the part of the difierent conveyances and the gay crowd was soon transferred from the race course to the hotels, there to get ready for the grand masquerade at the tnion, which winds up the festivities of race week. ‘The races, with all their fun, dissipation and extrava- gauce, are a vision of the past. Somme one has set to music “The Dream of the Ball.” Who will do as much for the Dream of the Races? The Racing. Four races in the rain brought the meeting at Sara- toga toaciose. The first event was a hurdie race, in which the brown mare Lobelia, bay horse Star- light, chestnut horse Eagle and chestnut horse Ty- coon were engaged. Lobelia was the favorite at Odds against the Seid, and she won in the most gal- lant style, taking the lead at the beginning and maintaining itto the end. She is one of the finest hordiers that ever appeared in this country, and god aa the time was on this occasion (3:58), there no doubt she could have reduced it several sec- onds had it been necessary, second. The second race was a dash of four miles, in Which were entered Mr. Pennock’s chestnut colt James A. Connolly, Mr. O'Failon’s bay colt Pat Mol- Joy and his chestnut horse Plantagenet. Connolly disposed of the others in magnificent style, proving himself a racehorse of the true stripe. This was his third appearance at this meeting, having run for the cup, two miles and a half, which he lost by a short head, He won the three mile dash, and to-day he ‘ran four miles with apparent ease in 7:38, ‘After this @ mile anda half handicap came off, with horses very eatisfactory weighted, in which were J.

At the quarter pole Conolly led three lengths in about thirty seconds, the Ee being very slow, as Plantagenet ana Pat Molloy intended to reserve their speed for the finish, the latter being the one selected to ce the last touch, Connolly led a length and a half at the half-mile pole, Plantagenet second, four 1 3 ahead of the colt. At the end of the first mile Connolly was three lengths ahead, the others going, on as before. Time, 1:573%. At the quarter pol le of the second mile Con- nolly was two lengths ahead of Plantagenet, the colt about ten lengths further off. As they ran through the second mile Plantagenet fell off and was six lengths behind Conn Molloy six lengths in the rear. Time of the two miles, 3:52, There was little change in the third mile until they reached the thi juarter pole, when the colt made his run, remy) la@mtagenct and set sail for Connolly. The latter led past the stand five lengths, mi the three miles in 5:47, Pat Malloy closed rapidly around the turn and made an effort to cut Connolly down on the backstretch. He first touched him at the quarter pole, when in an instant afterwards daylight was visible, and at the half-mile pole they were three lengths apart and both the colt ‘and Plantagenet were beaten. Connolly then left them and came in winner by fifty yards, making the four miles in 7:38, which was most capital time in a rain storm and oa @ heavy track.

Sieety was first in view on the lower turn, Clara Clarita second, Viley third, Albuera fourth and Lizzie Rogers last. As they passed the judges’ stand Sleety led two lengths, Viley second, two lengths ahead or Lizzie Rogers, Clara Clarita fourth and Albuera fifth. Sleety kept up the pace and the others began to separate in the backstretch, and at the half-mile pole some of them were eight or ten lengths ae and so they continued to the end. Sleety won by eight lengths, Viley second, eight lengths ahead of Clara Clarita, who was one length in front of Lizzie Hogere, who was ten lengths in ad- vance of Albuera. Time, 2:50};.

J. 3 Owing, doubtless, to the inauspicious state of the weather, the attendance on the fair grounds of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society at Waverley yesterday afternoon was exceedingly slender. The grand stand, that'is wont to be crowded, presented a beggarly account of empty benches, The trotting was in kee) oe the weather, and failed to ex- cite the alight it degree of interest am: the few turfites that were present. Notwithstanding the Hberal premiums offered and the excellence of the horsefiesh entered the first day of the autumn meet- ing ae off in an exceedingly tame manner. Should a recurrence of yesterday's p take place the idea that trotting in New Jersey is dead will begin to assume an aspect of o lerable truthfulness. If the weather would only prove a to-day the society promise a good day's sport. ere Aged trots were owing to large amount of time wasted in ob- taining starts at each of the heats night came on ere either of them was concluded, and a postponement wok place till to-day.

The sixth annual regatta of the Atalanta Boat Club, of New York, will take place on Thursday after- noon, August 13, at half-past four o'clock. The race will be rowed in seventeen foot single scull working boats, over the three mile course off the Elysian Fields, Hoboken. The prize is the elegant champion belt of the club, and among the contestants will be Roahr, Withers, Mainiand, &c. The contest promises to be of great interest, and will attract a large assemblage of the lovers of amateur rowing. THE EARTHQUAKE ON FRIDAY WIGHT. The distinct and widely extended shock of an earthquake which was feit throughout Westchester county on last Friday night extended into Connec- ticut, among other places being felt for several seconds at Greenwich, on Long Island Sound. The shock Was accompanied by @ heavy rum bling souna, like th tof the passage of an itumense battery of exhibition of terrestrial phenomenon occurred about eighteen year ago in the same locality.

THE NEW YORK YACHT Cl.UB. The Race at New Lendon—The Halcyon the Wiuner—The Hop at the Pequot House. New Lonpon, Conn., August 11, 1868, ‘The members of the yacht squadron last even- ing amused themselves and delighted many on shore bya grand display of fireworks, and later at might by visits to the Pequot House. The chief topic of conversation was the race for schooners to-day, and Many pleasant words of congratulation passed be- tween the ladies and members in anticipation of the sport, An enterprising gentleman during this time suggested as a matter of interest that the boats desiring to enter should be sold in a pool, and this being agreed to, the following pricés were paid in one of $1,300:—Phantom, $310; Palmer, $270; Idler, $125; Magic, $103; Widgeon, $115; Halcyon, $125; Dauntless, $75; Fleetwing, $70; Alice, $55; Josephine, $25; Fleur de Lys, $20; Rambler, $15; Restless, $10. Early in the morning a gun notified the yachts to make ready, and instantly there was business on board ofeach. The steady click of the windlass in shortening chain was heard on every hand, and this pleasant note of preparation gathered en masse the ladies and their cavaliers upon the dock to note the exciting incidents of the start. The following order had been previously circulated: REGATTA FOR SCHOONERS BELONGING TO THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB FOR A SILVER CUP PRESENTED BY CAPTAIN PIERRE LORILLARD. The boats to start on Tuesday, August 11, at ten o’clock A. M., ina line drawn east from the south- east corner of the steamboat wharf, Pequot House; the course to a stakeboat anchored in a line north from Rocky Point, Long Island shore, halfa mile from the pomt, passing outside the lightship on Bartlett's Reef and rounding the stakeboa' m the north and west, and then back again the sarhe course to the above named line. Yachts to anchor in line by nine o’clock A. M., and to be started by a gun from the Eva at ten o’clock precisely. A preparatory will be fired at five minutes before that time; fore and ait sails only, according to club rules. No allowance for time, ROBERT S, HONE, G. G. HOWLAND, S. GANDY, ‘When in position the order of the yachts from the windward were the Palmer, Dauntless, Restless, Phantom, Widgeon, Josephine, Halcyon, Fleetwing, Fleur de ng Alice, Idler, Rambler, and their bright sails and the brightest of August sunshine made the initial point of the race very pretty. The Magic and Eva did not enter, the latter having on board the committee. The wind was light from the southeast. At ten o'clock precisely the signal for starting was iven and instantly all filled away, the Restless per- aps @ little in advance of the others. Then came in play the skill of the sailing masters, and every ad- vantage that each thought presented itself was quickly embraced. Passin, jartlett’s Reef there ‘was a group in sweet confusion, the Alice and Fleet- wing in advance, the Dauntless and Phantom side by side trying their mettle, while the Josephine and Rambler were ba it out on the line towards Big Gall Island, with the Widgeon, Fleur de Lys, Phantom, Palmer, Halcyon and Idler to. leewar doing well. From this point there were many spirited bursts of speed and contests until Orient Point was reached, when, the wind freshening, there were many changes; but the Fleetwing, Alice and Dauntless were pushing forward with great beauty and in advance. As the stakeboat off Rock: Point was reached—made in remarkably quic time—the scene was more effective than ever, and elicited pleasant remarks from every one not too | Committee, earnest in the success of individual vesséle, The time of passing this point was:—Fleetwing, 12:07; Dauntiess, 12:09; Idler, 12:10; Phantom, 12:1%; Alice, 12:113g; Palmer, 12: with the Halcyon, 12:1234, Rambler, Restless, Widgeon, Josephine and Fleur de Lys following in a group. After turning the race fora time was indeed grand and spirited, during which the Fleur de Lys had both main and foretop masts carried away. But as the struggle was going gallantly on the wind suddenly died away and rain came on, causing great disappointment to all. At this time the Fleetwing was doing splendidly, with the Alice also in a position that seemed @& winning one, the Palmer, Dauntless and Phantom speeding handsomely. Then every possi- ble manceuvre was resorted to to obtain leading po- sitions, which eventually, after being almost the last boat in the race, fell to the lot of the Halcyon, en- tered by George Lorillard, which she finely retained, and fortune favored her to the stakeboat at home, where she arrived about five o'clock, followed in quick succession by the yachts in the followin, ler:—Idler, Widgeon, Dauntless, Phantom, Jose- test Fleetwing, Alice, Rambler and Palmer. The itless remained near the Fleur de Lys to render ‘any assistance desired by her, and thus was some distance astern, The official time at the close was not taken by the committee, owing to the yacht Eva ailso being becalmed. ‘The latter part of the race was in decided contrast tothe beginning. At times almost every boat of the feet was in what was termed winning Pew and the success of the Halcyon—a boat not at all dreamed of as the successful one—was just as re- markable as the whole contest. All the favorites were beaten, and there are many disappointed yacht- men to-night. . The hop is going on as I write, but it lacks the Drilliancy anticipated and that was suggested would characterize it; yet there are m ‘groups i the pariors of the juoct House and brillfant ladies mingle in the exciting dance and freely ex- change pleasant words with the yachtmen. Some of the latter immediately after the race were hand- somely entertained by Mr. Wm. Stuart, at bis villa, near thie place, on the Sound. ‘The feet will leave for Newport to-morrow morn- ing early ff pieasant weather. There will be at New Bedford races for Bee presented a Mr. Thos.

Affairs in Port au Prince—The Dismissal of Refugees by the American Minister De- sired—The Robbery of the Galatea—Proba- ble Success of Salnave in the End. Port av PRINCE, July 28, 1868. By the Marguerite, which sails this evening, I send you @ brief summary of news and events that have taken place in this unfortunate country for the last few weeks. The state of affairs here is still critical, but General Normil (revolutionist) has left the Light House with his whole army, constituting one-third of all the revolutionary forces. The government here is very confident. The President regards the British Chargé d’Affaires as the author of the rebellion and considers British intervention as the cause of the present condition of the country. The American Minister has observed the strictest rule of non-intervention, giving, with Admiral Hoff, Commodore Boggs and Captain East- ‘man, such moral support as i usual in such cases. Jacmel ts sui jed by the government troops and will soon be retaken. The common people are loyal to the President if left to themselves. The insurrecti chiefa, who are nearly white, are the only obstacle in the way. The story reported in the Kingston papers that the refugees had all been turned out of the American Consulate is a wicked falsehood, which the author has been obliged to apologize for. The American flag has covered for many weeks two hundred per- 3 and they have all been fed by the Americans, Neither of the other powers e furtiished any food to refugees. It was a political falsehood got up for fillbustering purposes. The United states ship De Soto, Commodore Boggs, arrived at this port on the morning of the 22d inst. from Key West, and left on the morning of the 25th for Aspinwall. The President request Commodore Boy and his oMicers, in company with the Ameri- can Minister, to visit him at the Palace. They were very hospitably entertained. She was visited by the President the next day. He was received with a saiute of twenty-one guns on his arrival and twenty-one guns on his departure, and the yards were manned. He was very much pleased with visit to the De Soto, ig ship carried the President during @ former revolution fram Cape Haytien to Turk’s Island, when he had been shelled out of the principal fort at the Cape by the Britian man.of- war Bulldog. When the Commodore pointed out tohim his former apartments in the ship his eyes filled with tears, and he said there was no oceasion for showing them to him as he should remember them to the last hour of his life. The Commodore presented him with a handsome Rem- ington pistol, with his own name marked upon it. General Chevallier holds possession of Gonaives with a la force. He is a very ogee and handsome old gentleman of sixty-five. He was edu- cated in the best schools of Paris, and was there concerned in the revolution of 1830, Aside from his qualifications as a scholar he possesses great powers of eloquence and is devoted to the President and the American repubitc. The Galatea disclosure is the theme of the hour. Three persons have robbed the government of 91,700 Spanish dollars sy into their hands for the repair of the ship. They have the money and the ship is sup) to be in New York, One of them, General La Roche, is in prison and in trons, The President says he shall make him pay, the whole defalcation or shoot him. He regards Roche as the responsible endorser of a bill of ex- change, and says that he must pursue the other parties at his leisure. As the General is worth a millton of gold dollars it is thought he will accept the proposition, ‘Thn United States gunboat Penobscot is still here. Captain Eastman has nobly seconded the efforts of the American Minister to protect the rights of our citizens, and has proved himself woi former reputation. He has been here two months, and will be relieved by the Gettysburg on the 6th of August. A Haytien man-of-war was captured few aays since by the Cacos at Petit Guave, a smail port on the south side of the about fifty miles from this city, She was taken stratagem. On en’ the port she was received with cries of Vive nave |’ and saluted with cannon Sewerg) boats jm- mediately put off from the shore filled with oMcers and men to pay their respects to the Admiral, a8 he supposed, and great was his surprise when he found himself @ prisoner and in the hands of the Cacos, a2 wai, Sra ‘Was the only war vessel it possessed, The impression of well informed le here isfthiat Sainate will succeed in the end, mye is send ates Soars eerie ve it up, but w! as lon, there is life in him, i * aie Street ating hes entirely ceased, but a constant cannonading is kept up between the forts and the Cacos surrounding the city. ‘The government troops possibly may have been it Jacomel on the 24th, but if such wae the fact itis singular that Salnave or any one else in Port au Prince had not heard of it on the evening of the 28th, a distance of only sixty miles. As rds the concentration of troops around the city; I do not believe any addition has been made to the revolu- tionary forces for the last two months, on the con- trary, General Normit has withdrawn. his forces from the lighthouse, about three miles from the city, and has retired to the interior. No attempt has been made by the revoluttonists to take the place, although they Rave surrounded it for the last three months. I am not writing in the interest of Salnave; he may fall‘at any tme.

At Ningara Falle—Visit to Goat Island—What the Tajens Think of the Falle—A Trip to the Canada Side—Future Movements. NiaGaRa Fauys, August 9, 1868, This morning Mr. Burlingame and his associates, accompanied by Mr. D. J. Townsend, superintendent ofthe Falls property; E. S. Wheeler, Holly Smith, Christopher Morgan, of Auburn; Harvey Parker and lady, of Boston, and Captain Dolliver, took carriages at the hotel and visited Goat Island and all points of interest in that direction. In addition to the bridge constructed from the main shore to the island, the Three Sisters during the past winter were also con- nected hy strong permanent bridges, making @ com- plete round of communication, The first objects which attracted the attention of the party were the bridges. Chih Tajen was very anxious to know all the particulars of their construction, and how the workmen succeeded in their labor when the boiling cataract at their feet threatened certain destruction should they unfortunately fall into the water. He not euly, therefore, admired the work itself, but as well the workmen who consummated the system of bridge communication with the islands, After driving around the island the party visited the Terrapin Tower, and then took @ position so as to command a full view of the Falls, Here the waters of the four great in and basins of Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie, with their multitude of tributary streams, came surging and rushing on, leaping in a oot volume over the giddy height and boiling and roaring among the rocks beneath. The Tajens contemplated the scene with an eagerness which seemed to speak the inward emotions which pos- sessed them. To those who have frequently visited the Falls the view always has its natural effect of an inspiration which fills the soul with awe and reverence for this tremendous exuibition of the magnitude of nature’s handiwork. The Tajens and indeed the entire party having long studied in silence, Chih spoke out to one of the inter- preters “To behold this great scene ig worth more than all the journey we have taken, It is worth coming from China to see this alone. How wonder. ful! how grand!” As he spoke he shook his head as if a deep inward communication was going on between the soul and the outward man. Here the party remained for some time looking and taking in Uhe great lesson of nature before them, and finally left ace the universal remark, “We must see this again. ‘The party then @rove to the Suspension Bridge. ‘1 his remarkable work of art was carefully examined and completely understood by the Tajens before they went further. Many questions were asked, particularily in regard to the construction of the bridge. Looking of from the bridge into the awful depth below some idea was obtained of the heigit of the Falls which close at hand does not appear in consequence of the spray. ‘The party next rode tothe hotel on the Canada side and took alunch and drank some champagne. Alter visiting the Canada Falls, and ex- preasing the same tokens of surorise al the im- menge proportions of the scene, the party returned to their own hotel. As the Embassy will remain here at least a week the ditferent members will leisurely visit all places of interest. On Wednesday morning Mr. Burlin- game will set out alone for the West to visit his aged lather. He will be absent several days, leaving, meanwhile, the Embassy in the charge of Messrs. Srown and Dechamps. Mrs. Burlingame and daughter will leave at the same time for Boston, thus preceding the party in their arrival, as the delays and inconveniences of travelling in 80 large @ party is very fatiguing toher. During the absence of Mr. Burlingame it is proposed to take a flying excursion to Bulfalo, but of an unofficial char- acter, at the instance of the Board of Trade of that city. These gentlemen desire to show the members of the Embassy their enterprising city and some of its novelties in the way of steam grain elevators and the like, A LETTER FROM FUNG-YER.

Chib Tajen Makes an Excursion to the Cave of the Winde—His Wender at the Immen- sity of the Falls as They Appear From Be- low—Preparations for a Grand Hop. NiaGaRa FAuis, August i0, 1868, Having taken a cursory view of the falls yester- day, the firat Associate Minister, Chih Tajen, at once expressed a wish to examine more in detail the great wonders of nature centred here. To. gratify his curiosity last evening party was made up, con- sisting of Chih Tajen, Emile de Champs, Secretary of the Embassy; E. 8. Wheeler and Captain Dolliver. Atseven o'clock this morning all were Feady, and the PI they proceeded to the place of descent vave of the Winds, beneath the falls. In ar i for this hazardous and moist expedition it me necessary to ch: é the clothing for a suit of waterproofs or flannels. ie Tajen quite readily removed his silks and donned the less pic- turesque coatume necessary as a matter of conve- nience to be worn. He looked quite comically, bis queue twisted around his head, after the fashion of a turban, He appeared to enjoy the sport with the vivacity of a person of twenty. The ty descended the spiral steps and reached the near the foot of the falia, clambering down still further until they reached the rushing waters beneath. The Tajen, dripping with water, in company with the guide and foilowed by the party, pushed forward through the spray, every now and then stopping to take a won- dering look at the immense volume of water pouring over the great ledge over @ hundred and fifty feet above, Having looked and waded and struggled through the waters the party started beneath the falls, Here the roar was more deep than the murmers of thun der, and the mud and the spray rushed by with a velocity almost carrying with it one’s breath. In the mist of this perilous passage the Tajen, almost blinded with tne dashing of the waters, stopped to investigate, in his usual manuer, the rock formation which makes up the abutment of the falls, He then looked up, and seeing the mighty current descend- ing, exclaimed, “This ts, indeed, still more wond: full” After completing the circuit the party quickly ascended the cliff! and exchanged their dripping clothing for their own. This expedition was rather remarkable for the Tajen, as he was in direct oppo- sition to the sanitary views of the Chinese, Warm water is the common practice for use on the body. He, however, overlooked this in his determination to see. With the exception of this excursion the party have amused themselves as wei! as the guests of the International in sitting most of the day in the ariors. This afternoon they took @ drive to the sanada side. Mr. Burlingame with @ smali party of gentiemen took an excursion to the foot of the falls on the ferryboat in the river.

Thaddeus Stevens died at precisely twelve o’clock last night at his residence in Washington, D. C., on Capitoline Hill, Simon Stevens, Thaddens Stevens, Jr., a nephew, and his housekeeper, Mrs. Smith, were at his beside, also sister Loretta and sister Genevieve, of the Providence Hospital, and J. Seott Patterson, of the Interior Department, and the servants of his household. Breathing his last he passed away quietly and calmly without a struggle, as though falling asleep. ‘The death of no man in the United States,could oc- casion more excitement than has the announcement of that of the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylva- Dia, His demise was an event, itis true, expected for some time past, but his previous recoveries from several severe attacks had made it likely that he would live at least until his cherished political schemes had either been finally successful or had 3 the sxe of an opinion as to the choice of evils, throughout the war he gave evidence of a devotion and patriotsm to the Union cause, which, more than anything else, care him the pre-eminent and popular ition which e coonpies at the imme oe an. le opposed the of the Southern ports on the ground that a) so dol the rebels would be placed, in the attitude of law- ful belligerents, and an opportunity given to foreign Powers for @ ition as such, After the blockade was established and belligerent rights accorded to the South by the United States he took up the position that the seceded States had left the Union and nad ceased to be a component part of the government. Even after the rebeilion had been suppressed he advocated this doctrine, and in letters and public speeches declared that the Southern States were conquered territories, and, as sueh, sub- ject to the will of the conqueror. So far did he carry this idea that on more than one occasion he asserted the im ibility of the government to try any of the rebels for treason. He feta that they were prisoners of war, the captive adherents and representatives of @ foreign Power and therefore amenable to no civil tribunal for a crime whieh in his estimation they could not possibly commit. Holding such views as those given in the foregoing paragraph it is not surprising that Mr. Stevens was among the earliest opponents of Mr. Johnson's perished beneath the adversg will of the people. When, therefore, the intelligence arrived of his having expired in Washington last night, it created @ profound sensation, Thaddeus Stephens was born in Caledonia county, Vermont, on the 4th of April, #93, He received an excellent education at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, at which piace he graduated in 1814. During the same year he removed to Pennsylvania, where he obtained a subordinate position in an academy, and while engaged in teaching others took advantage of whatever spare time he cout obtain in devoting himself to the study of law. Two years subsequently he presented himself for examina tion and was admitted to the bar of Adams county, at which he soon distinguished himself for his legal attainments, and gathered around him a large and lucrative practice. Entering into politics he became a member of the whig organization, then the dominant political party In Pennsylvania, but for many years he obtained no positions in its gift excepting such as were com- prised in nominating and other party conventions. In 1833, however, le made his first appearance as a recipient of the people’s favor, being then elected to the Pensylvania Legislature. While holding the ition of a State legislator Mr. Stevens first ex- ibited that boldness in the expression of his sen- timents which afterwards greatly distinguished him as a member of Congress. Here, also, he displayed whatever talents he possessed and made himself par- tucularly popular among the people and politiclans of ms party. From 1833 to 1938 Mr. Stevens remained in the Legislature, being*re-elected at the expiration of each term by increased majorities. One of his first public acts was to assist: in the persecution of men who belonged to the Order of Masonry, He gave countenance to, if he was not the author of, an inqui- sition to ferret out the secrets of Masonry, and to this end many men were arrested and brought before the Legislature, with a view to compelling them to disclose the secrets of their Order. Among those who were thus arrested were the late Governors Wolfe and Shunk, George M. Dallas and the Rey, Mr. Sprolis, @ prominent divine of the Presbyterian Church. This prejudice against the jasons thus early developed within him never died, and it seemed as if he took every opportunity to show that it still existed, It will be remembered that during the extra session of last summer, when it was positively ascertained that a majority of the memberz of Congress opposed the impeachment of the President, Mr. Stevens, in the course of a speech lating to the subject, broadly insinuated that the opposition to the plan arose from the fact that Mr. Johnson was a member of a Masonic Lodge. This insinuation was, of course, indignantly denied by Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee; but it served to show that the enmity of Mr. Stevens against the order was not only not extinguished, but existed in as lively and intense a form as when he aided in the persecution of its members. A warm eat partisan, and possessed of an aggressive disposition which could not brook oppo- sition or defeat, it was not long before Mr. Stevens became plunged, with others, in a serious and nearly boody affair. During the contest for Governor of Pennsylvania, in 1838, the canvass was conducted with considerable bitterness by the speakers on both sides, Governor Ritner, the incumbent of the office, was the whig candidate, and the late David R. Porter was at the head of the democratic ticket. After a fierce struggle the democracy carried the State by a small majority, and Mr. Porter was elected Govern Chagrined by defeat, the leaders of the whig party sought @ pretext on which to forcibly retain power, and this was found in the allega- tion that the election in Philadelphia had been lar, and was consequently invalid. The friends of Governor Kitner, among whom was Mr. Stevens, persuaded him into refusing to vacate the guberna- torial chair, and amid intense excitement through- out the State two Legislatures assembled at Harris- burg and organized. Urged on by his friends, Ritner issued @ proclamation calling out the militia to sup- press an Impending outbreak, which summons was answered by an immense number of democrats flock- — the capital determined to sustain Governor rer, The result of this affuir was that Ritner and his supporters were compelled to give mae and the ey elected officials were duly installed. The prominent part which Mr. Ste- vens had taken in this disturbance rendered him, at the time, Hephgpmet 6 obnoxious to the people, whose fags against him were 80 enraged that he ts said to have made a cuther hasty exit through a back window of the State House in consequence of the personal violence with which he was threatened. So serious, indeed, were the dan- ra threatened, that, although a member elect of the Legislature, he did not attend that session, but remained at his home among his constituents in safety. In addition to his position as a representa- tive, Mr. Stevens in 1836 was a member of fhe con- vention which revised the State constitution, and in 1838 was appointed a canal commissioner. This last office, however, was lost by the success of the demo- crats during the same Vie In 1842 Mr. Stevens left Adams county, which had become democratic, and removed to Lancaster, where he ever after resided, and where the prevail- ing political sentiment was more in unison with his own. For several years he remained in private life, quietly pursuit hi rofession of the law, but still taking a deep interest in the political country. In 1848 he reappeared in the arena of politics, and this time in @ higher field and with a wider scope before him. He was nominated for Con- gress from the Eighth (now Ninth) district, and was elected by @ decisive majority. It is singular how, after the | of years, men and things become changed, hen Mr. Stevens first entered Con he was the political comrade of Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts; A. H. Stephens and Robert Toombs, of Georgia; Charles 8. More- head, of Kentucky, Horace Greeley, Thomas M. Clingman, of North Carolina, and many others now living who were prominent men of the time, and of whom not one in four remained his political ally after the disruption of the whig partys At that time, however, Mr. Stevens was a friend of many who afterwards became prominent secessionists and rebel leaders, and whom since the rebellion he has so often denounced in terms of great bitterness. His first term in Congress was unmarked by any act of importance, nevertheless he gave much satis- faction to his constituents, and betng renomi- nated was re-elected by a fair majority. Upon the expiration of this second term he was not candidate for office, and for some time he kept aloof from politics. He did not, however, long remain quiet. The organization of the republican party warmly enlisted his etforts, and he engaged in it with great ardor. A bitter and un- Pap | enemy to the institution of slavery he saw in the bryo party @ road which ied to the emancipation the slaves. Consistent to the last and aiways honest and outspoken in his opinivns, he freely and repeatedly deciared that the mis: f irs of the the republican party was to destroy slavery, clarations being made when the more p leaders were ener, mioent one denying such a purpose hat ‘their desire that as it may, firmly adhered to his views, and was the principal, if not the actual organizer of the republican party in In 1856 General Fremont became the Pennsylvania. idential the very lar must be attributed more to Mr. Steven's effol to those of any other man in the State. As it was there is a great probability that Mr. Buchapan would have been defeated there had not the fact of there being a third candidate (Mr Fillmore) tn the fleld revented many from voting for Fremont who would Rave done so had they beileved that he had any chance of success. The disasterous defeat of that ear did not dishearten the deceased, nor did the de- Teat at the Gubernatorial election tn the following year. He set vigorously to work organizing the repub- licans In his district, and beg being nominated for Congress in 1868 was elected by 3,172 majority. He ever after, to the time of his death, represented thus (the Ninth) district of Pennsylvania, serving, from the Thirty-seventh Congress, as Chairman of the Com- mittee on Ways and Means, a8 well as being a mem- ber of other important committees. His re-elections to Congress were mere forms, the district he repre: sented being ag edge may! republic: and his nominations for the office being so certain that no opposition candidates were presented. Indeed, so certain were the people of fis election that it long since passed Into a jocular saying that each parti- cular republican voter of Lancaster was the person property of the “Great Commontr,”’ as Mr. Stevens was styled in later ore ‘The election of Mr. Lincoln and the subsequent se- cession of the Southern States found Mr. Sievenaa firm opponent of all compromise measures. When the celebrated proclamation of the President was issued calling for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion he gave {t fis earnesvand enthusiastic sup. port, and Lope hte the war lent his energies to the task of aiding the government. Perhaps no impor- tant measure during the contest wave nim as much satisfaction as the proclamation of emancipation. While Mr. Lincoin was undecided how to act in this matter Mr. Stevens was urgent for abolition, He had 4) desired it, and now that the opportunity: ag ae ae Mor a above every- re jan one occasion he openly declared that if there were but two alterna. tives open to him—one the restoration of the Union with slavery and the other disruption and emanct- we he would the last as the lesser evil. ut potwithetanding this declaration which was only policy, As early as Sepvember, 1865, when the sound of hostile canuon had scarcely ceased to reverberate upon the ear, he gave in a public speech at Lancas- ter his policy upon reconstruction. It was startling, though not unexpected, and was comprised of about these ideas:—First and as a preface, that the Souih committed no treason, but was a foreign Power con- page by our arms; second, the confiscation of 000,000 acres of land and its distribution as fol- lows:—40,000,000 acres to be givew to the negroes in farms of forty acres each, and the remainder to be id, and the '3,540,000,000, to be applied to the extinction of the national debt. In this speech he did not commit himself to negro sui » although he broadly hinted that the politics quality of the blacks should made an absolute condition on which the conquered States should be admitted to Congress. When the political war be- tween the President and Congress broke out he was one of the earliest and flercest antagonists of Mr. Johnson. He had been for some years past the leader of the republican party in the House of Rep- resentatives, and although many of, his colleagues were abler men than himself ints bold and daring speeches and measures, and the utter absence of any conservatism in his policy, enabled him to retain this position even when @ majority of his party, Op- posed him. The repeated vetoes of the President exasperated him to such an extent that when the plan of impeachment was first mooted he seized upon it with avidity and aided greatly in the passage of the resolution ordering @ committee to inquire whether there were any causes for inipeson ine: the _ President. During the late Impeachment trial Mr. Stevens was @ leading sytrit among the Managers, although he took apparently very little active pal in conducting the court business of the prose- cution, owing to his ii health. But when he found from the rulngs of the Senate that there was @ possibility of acquittal he seized the opportunity presented by his being assigned to make @ closing argument, to use his party whip with even more than his usual vepemence upon any member of the republican party in the Senate who might prove recusant and vote for acquittal. Upon the Senate, however, this invective proved of no avail. Seven members of his party voted, notwithstanding his threats, against convic- tion, and the President was acquitted. During the few days preceding this Mr. Stevens was borne into the Senate Chamber in the arms of stout men, 8o rapidly was his health poe From this one mas judge of the virulence of his hostility to the Presi- dent, and again from the fact that some time after the abandonment of the case, when new radical Senators from the South had arrived, all biassed against Mr. Johnson, he again introdu articles of impeachment in the House, which were, however, postponed until next session. Of him it can be truly sald that although through- out life his political predelictions were of the most extreme kind, he never concealed them from his bitterest enemy. There was no temporizinug in his nature; policy was to him the expression of convic- tion and not the concealment of an intention for the purpose of luring men to support that which they would oppose if aware of. And this rough and at times uncouth candor will mark him as one of the most honest politicians that the United States ever which he estimated at proeeeds, Asa private character Mr. Stevens was nearly, if not utterly, unknown. Like his political antipodes, Mr. Buchanan, he never married, but resided in bachelorhood at Lancaster, his residence being in charge of a colored woman, who had been in his service as housekeeper for many years. In fact, to take away his pub ic life would be to reduce him to g@nonentity. ‘That he was courteous and hospitable to his immediate friends we are assured, and that at heart he was a most humane and charitable man Many persons who have witnessed his —_—7 and are aware of his charities have averred. But, as a general rule, the amenities of social life. were irksome and often distateful to him. He lived for publicity and so merged his political ideas into his personal feelings that they became one and inseparable. We must, therefore, look back — him solely a8 a political character. As such he was sed of a grim humor, which never failed to excite hearty laughter when directed either at his enemies or those of his friends who were inclined to chafe under his rule. One of his most (ern jokes was in applying the words ‘mild confiscation” to his proposition to sell nearly four hundred millions of acres of land be- longing to ex-rebels and pay the national debt with the proceeds. In Con, 8 he was very successful in whipping in refractory republicans to vote as he thought proper by taunting them with cowardice, and with having particles of the old constitution “sticking In their kidneys.”’ His manner of ae on such Occasions was rather ludicrous, but it never failed to command the attention of the House. Pausing fora moment in his vpmwine Wow would take a glance at his manuscript, and then slowly surveying the house would draw down the corners of his mouth until the expression of his face became painfully rigid, and was only relaxed again when he opened his lips to give utterance to the bitter sarcasms which trembled upon them. Within the past few years [mote Mags and\repeated Hi- ness had greatly injured constitution, which caused his language to be weak, tremulous, and frequently indistinct. So broken down was he dur- | the last session of Congress that he was com- fo led to vi Sod the Clerk of the House complete reading the at 8] h he had then commenced to deliver. His skill in managing politi- eal parties was astonishing. Many will remember how he manipulated the democrats into voting with him against a measure which he looked upon as Mao conservative, but which a deciaed majority of the republicans were in favor of. This was one of the few times when his republican colleagues rebelled against his Ceara but in using the democrats to support him he finally compelled the rebels to to his views, and they were adopted. Party disci- pline was ee his eyes so long as it sub- served his ideas, but the moment it clashed with them he allied himself with the opposition with as much coolness as if he had done nothing of an ex- traordinary nature. In eines upon ghe life of Thaddeus Stevens one cannot fail to be impressed with the fact that he Was a great politician, and nota statesman. In the langui of @ radical journal, he ‘‘ex: ted trivialities’” for the purpose. of Saining his end. Born inan age which, luckily for him, hada great estion to settle, he was farsighted enough to align imself upon the finally successful side. Possessed of no mean abilities, worked his way up from comparative insignificance until he had attained a ater actual power than the President Sates ever had. Posterity may et Samner, Garrison and other great lights of abolitionism, but it Despite his personal antmosities, his advocacy of a revengeful po! a! upon the South end his lack of true statesmanship, he is one of those who must ever take a prominent part in the bistory of this republic. If his impetuosity of temper and falling of rushing into extremes have somewhat marred his many ser- vices to his country they have not obliterated them. Recognizing, then, these services, they must always be admitted, and while it would be dimicult to pre- dict what position inthe annals will be assigned to him by another generation, his honesty of purpose, hard tot! for and devotion to the repubiic will ever be pleasing memories of Thaddeus Stevens, EUROPEAN MARKETS.
