fFrom Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, April 14, 1S66.
Mr. Stephens has given a great deal of interesting
testimony on the subject of the condition of the
South, before the Reconstruction Committeee. From
what is said in reference to his evidence, I think it is
calculated to be of great advantage to the South. It
is said that four or five radical members called to
gether on Mr. Stephens and had a very full and ani
mated discussion on the subject of reconstruction.
Tho conversation got so warm as it is said that one of
the members said to Mr. Stephens that the North
were determined to have a certain programme carried
out,and if necessary would send an army to the South
to accomplish it. Mr. Stephens insisted as I learn with
great warmth that the South had done all she had
been asked to do, and all she intended to do; that the
promises made to her were not fulfilled, and she
would do no more. I think Mr. Stephens’ visit here
done good. It is very much to be regretted that he
cannot remain longer.
There tw a kind of pause in active political operatiou 8
here just now. The majority in Congress are matur
ing their plans so as to make good moves. They con.
sider that they have got the President down, and in
the plain language of Mr. Orth, Representative from
Indiana, “they intend to stay here and roll over him.”
One disadvantage of having power, however, is that
they must take the initiative, or pretend to take it in
shaping political events. To do this is not so easy for
them, because it is difficult to proposo measures agree,
able to all the members of ttoir party in Congress.
Not to harmonize on subjectPproposed for Congres
sional action is to wound their party beceause it
shows that they have not the same political faith.
And, indeed, this is the fact. Up to a certain point
this two-thirds majority in Congress who are opposed
to tho President can act together, but there is one
question on which they are not a unit—that is negro
suffrage. The extreme men in the party make a sine
(jna non, but many in the party think it inexpedient
to push this idea to extremities. Hence, to keep the
party a unit some management must be had in fixing
yp the issues. There is one point upon which there
is a disposition to act harmoniously, that is to amend
the Constitution so as to deprive the South of the
representation afforded by counting the colored peo_
pie, except to the extent that they are permitted to
vote. It is thought that an amendment of this kind
will be patched up, which wjll be able to command
the support of the party, and will soon be intro
duced.
A horrible murder of a family of eight iiersons lias
recently taken place near Philadelphia. If this had
to be tried for such high crimes and misde- ,
•- a? may be alleged against them. I think that j happened South, it would have been extensively com
plain duty of the President to cause criminal j meuted on as au evidence of the barbarism of man

strange that this dreadful deed should occur at the

fc§recollected that the President, in his annual Mes-
said that strong objections had been urged to

rebellion has existed ; and it was ascertained by in
quiry that tho Circuit Court of the United States

Lt'V-sariiy referred, with the hope that early provi-
i, n would be made for the resumption of all its time-
ton?, in "rder that persons charged with the commis-
n uf treason should have fair and impartial trials in
the highest civil tribunals of the country. Congress
do not yet, lu wever,passed any act in accordance with
tins recommendation to remove the objections of
Chief-Justice Chase, and here the matter rests for the
It is not thought that there is much probability of
tho modification of the test oath to admit of the post-
offices and tax offices being filled at the South. In
reference to this matter the Chronicle, the radiea 1
organ of this city says if there are no white persona
at the South who can take the oath of office there is
one class of persons there who can.
The Executive Government is alive to the import
ance of the fishery question, growing out of the abro
gation of the reciprocity treaty, and have proposed
negotiations to the British Government with a view of
preventing any collision. In the meantime a naval
force will be sent to the scene of action to protect the
fishermen.
To-day is the anniversary of Mr. Lincoln’s assassi
nation. The public offices are closed to-day by order
of the President. The radical papers seize the occa
sion to re-publish all Mr. Lincoln's sayings and doings
which tend to help their side at the present lime.

The Philadelphia Tragedy.
Tic Philadelphia papers contain full reports of the
iiamination ot the German, Anthony Ganther, arrest-
td for the murder of the Deeriug family. The wretch
t&s made a full confession of the crime, giving the
•ickeiiing details of one of the most revolting murders
ever perpetrated. The following is the substance of
if confession:
j demand for gold is greatly diminished, and its ten
'll- Mayor and the prisoner had a private interview
ments, when tho reporter of the. Tele-
very few other individuals, were perrmt-
fc-raph.
He prisoner was perfectly cool and collected, and,
siring the lengthy cross-examination he went through
Hike hands of the Mayor, exhibited the greatest sell-
j s*es!»ion. He answered every question in the most
^reserved maimer, and stated at one timo that he
id nothing whatever to conceal. At one time, when
leMayor put a question to him regarding his familj',
c prisoner became melancholy and slightly agitated.
it face colored, and his e3’es were moistened with
bars, but they quickly passed away, and he resumed [ c i a ] situation
Ls manner of stolid indifference.
It was tho subject of general notice that during the
r.gi-i examination at the hands of the Mayor, the
M.er did not contradict himself in a single iu-
ittiii'c. He spoke broken English with tolerable dis-
but occasionally when in doubt as to the
lining of a question put by the Mayor, the services
' Mr. George Mock, the Mayor’s private messenger,
brought into requisition, who acted as interpre-
dency was to fall in value. If Government securities
are no longer wanted in F.urope, then gold must be
sent forward. If we add to this the remarkable para
lysis of business at the commercial centres North,
and the very unsettled condition of public affairs, we
can readily understand that it may not be such plain
sailing in finance as anticipated. The growing dispo
sition of Congress to admit the vast amount of war
indebtedness claimed to be due to the separate States,
is calculated also to add to the difficulties of the flnan-
know* where. Campo Bello, an island at the mouth of
the St. Croix river in the Bay of Fundy, is generally
set down as the seat of the Irish Republic, until it can
find an easier one. The border is, meanwhile, af
frighted with terrible rumors. “Blue Noses over the
border” is the order of the day, and dwellings on the
American side of the line are in great demand. It is
hardly probable that real estate speculators have hired
a hundred Irishmen to move to and fro vpth stage illu
sions to make them appear like an army, bat such may
be the case. So far nobody pretends to have seen a body
of fifty together. The colonial authorities are very
active. They patrol the dividing river and bay with
vessels of war, and the most pugnacious of the Blue
Noses are enlisting in the Home Gutrd to defend their
sterile territory from invasion. As the bickerings be
tween the different stripes of Fenians continnt, it is
more difficult to tell what is rife. On one side It is
contended that this is the real “on to Ireland" move
ment; on the other hand it is argued that it is only a
flank movement to the pockets of the Emerald Island
ers, to increase the sale of Fenian bonds. It ia of no
use to attempt to construct a theory about it. It ia
evident that the Government sees nothing yet to in
terfere about. Meanwhile, the provinces are enjoying
a very nice little panic, and the tide of “skedaddlers,"
which so long set Canadaward, now flows in another
direction. I know of no way to find out the true state
of the case except to invest in Fenian bonds. That
will probably give one an inkling.
THE CONSTABULAhr.
I must refer to another old theme which has been
quite fruitful heretofore. The Constabulary Police
have notified the eating house keepers that they are
not expected to aell ale to their customers hereafter;
they have also informed the keepers of billiard saloons
and bowling saloons that they will be required to close
their places at ten o’clock, p. m., on five days in the
week, and at six o'clock on Saturdays. This comes
under an old law which has not been enforced for
years, and which everybody looked upon as a dead
letter. Efforts are to be made to have it repealed, as
it is rather too blue for tho present generation; but it
is doubtful about getting the rural Solons who control
the Legislature to have a liberal idea in their heads.
You may suppose, in view of all you hear about the
Constabulary Police, that we are-kept very close, rising
with the lark, retiring at the curfew, and taking no
profane cocktails between times. Don’t think such
an absurd thought. We get on much as usual. The
sale of “the ardent” was never more open, and I be
lieve liquor never was worse. There are tippliug
places of high and low degree, for an the hours of the
day and night, from sunrise to the break o’ day; and
tbe travelled toper knows where to get his Sunday
“tod” or cigar. All of which goes to show that tezn-
perence is a virtue, but that people do not like to be
forced even to be virtuous.
THE THEATRES, &C.
Mr. aud Mrs. Charles Keau have been drawing good
houses at the Boston Theatre during the week, and
Helen Western has drawn crowds at the Howard
Atliemeum to witness the play in which she outstrips
all competitors. But the musical and theatrical sea
son is about over, and the advancing of tho sun north
ward illustrates nature’s page with its own eharmiug
representations. Iota.
Mexico.—The following is a translation of an ex.
tract taken from La Soznbia, a neswpaper published
jn the city of Mexico :
According to the official dispatches which have
been published during tbe last seven months, from
•lime to December, 1864, dating from tbe arrival of
Maximilian, there took place 12*2 engagements be
tween the French and Mexicans, of more or less im
portance, in which there were 3,277 killed and 1.3U0
wounded. In the year 1865 the number of engage
ments was 324, in which 5,674 were killed and 1,278
wounded. Total, 2,579 wounded, and 8,951 killed.
Thus in the first seven months there was on an aver
age seventeen engagements per month, while in the
remaining twelve months there has been nearly one
a day, with the difference that the number of killed
has fallen from an average of eight to five. At the be
ginning of last year the engagements were from fifteen
to Seventeen per mouth ; while in December they had
already readied thirty-four.
Shipwrecks Reported During the Month of
Mahch.—The loss of shipping during the past winter
has been greater than that reported in any winter iu
our history, and the stormy mouth of March swells
the record up to four millions of dollars in gold, the
value of the vessels alone, exclusive of their cargoes,
which have been wrecked or are missing iu a single
month, uf these 36 were American, aud 3 foreigners,
bound to or from United States ports, iu which Amer
ican citizuus were interested. Four steamers, 2 ships,
7 barks, 1 brig aud 19 schooners comprise the list,
aud of these 12 were wrecked, — abandoned, 5 burned,
4 foundered, and 4 are missing. Their cargoes proba
bly amounted to at least $2,000,000; total, $6,000,000,
a large amount to be destroyed in a single month.
These losses show the extent of our commerc, and the
resources of our Insurance offices to meet such losses,
for wo suppose that two-thirds of all this was recov
ered by insurance.

LETTER FROM BOSTON.
Boston, April 13,1866.
To tbe Editors of the Savannah News and Herald:

A BROKEN VOW.
Did I make a vow not to bring again before your
readers the case of Green, the Malden murderer? Ab
solve me for the particulars, as showing a phase of
New England humanitarianism. We have had noth
ing but Green since my last. We have had Green hot,
and green cold; Green served on the half shell and
roasted in shell; Green fried, roasted and stewed;
Green before the Supreme Court, in the Executive
Council Chamber and on the scaffold—for the last way
Green was served was by strangulation—and this oc
curred to-day in the jail yard of East Cambridge. A
great deal of sympathy had been manufactured for
tho criminal at a late day. So long a time has trans-
> then proceed to the house, took the chil- pired since the crime was committed that the passion
’this axe‘*aud I wWcl * had been one of the most
c,lt ; L- fast as one was dealt with in this manner its j atrocious and cold-blooded murders of the times had
J . r (brown into the corn-crib, and the process entirely subsided, and in the criminal people had
onnaed unti 1 the whole famiiy were disposed of learned to see, not the hardened criminal, but a
* a ‘ e ’uu accomplice was thus engaged, Ganther .... . _ . . ,
; r ;V-dcd to.murder the boy Cornelius. He over- P 00r imbecile—a creature of frivolous aims and a
^ a tm at the haystack, and struck him on the i weak mind—the forfeiture of whose life would not se-
the head, with an axe, after which ho cut his ! cure the ends of justice. There were also techninal
law points raised, but these were overruled so unani.
mously-and decisively by the Supreme Court that the
Governor could not interfere with that decision.
Among those who have been activo in the stages of
the pleading for G reeri’s life was Wendell Phillips,
who left for a time his peculiar theme and enlisted
his power of invective in this cause. He wa9 about
as severe on the Supreme Court as ever he was on
Southern slaveholders or “Northern daughfaces,” but
Governor Bullock, who has displayed a prominence
of back-bone in this matter, overruled the arguments
in a calm, dispassionate statement which made it
clear that there was but one course for him to pursue.
To Green’s credit be it said this final exit was. the
the most becoming act of his generally frivolous and
cowardly life. During his imprisonment he has been
troubled more by hurlown personal danger than by
the enormity of his crime, but on the scaffold he was
firm, quiet, self-possessed,and not by word or sign be
trayed a craven spirit. Perhaps anybody can be. pre
pared for almost anything by considering it long
enough, and Green has had ample time. There! No
more Greens for me.

License Law in Massachusetts,—So strong is the
feeling against the Massachusetts liquor law, on the
part of Boston hotel keepers, that at a recent meeting
it was proposed to close all the hotels in Boston and j
keep them closed until they are allowed to sell liquors
at their burs without fear of molestation from tbe
state constabulary force. The proprietors of several
of the largest hotels favored such a movement, but it
was not carried.

The passage of the Civil Rights bill has, pf course
been celebrated to some extent in thiB section,
though the outward demonstrations .have been con
fined to salutes and bell ringing here and there, and
a meeting at tbs colored church here, which was con
ducted with decorum. There is a good deal of re
joicing among politicians, who begin to be reassured

They say that Andy is “cornered, ” and that there
will be but two ways for him to recover—either to
come up to the radical stand-point or go over to the
opposition, bag aud baggage, When they reflect
upon the baggage that he carries with him they are
sad in view of the latter alternative. They have not
sufficient patriotism to see the Democrats taking
their offices, even if a great principle is at stake.
What do they care about, after all, but tbe offices ? If
Andy Johnson uses his power as ho might, he has a
very long lever, and can cause a terrible rattling
among the dry bones. I can conceive circumstances
conducive to tho rapid development of a great many
Johnson men whose course are apparent now. A
new deal would make all the difference in the world.
