CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.—In a recent letter to a
friend in Philadelphia, Mr. Chase says ;—" I don't want to
be represented as particularly poor or particularly disinte-
rested. I think I am worth now about $100,000. I should,
at any rate, be quite willing to take that sum in 5-20's, and
make a clear conveyance of all I have in the world to any
body who will pay my debts. I would willingly be worth a
great deal more if I know of an honest way to got worth
more. All that the people are interested in knowing is that
I haven't a cent which of right belongs to them. I didn't
servo them to make money out of them, but to save money
for them ; and I really feel that the rascals who are slander-
ing mo ought to be denounced, and the mean attempt to
injure me in the public esteem exposed. It is much more
important to the people than it is to me that those who
have served them faithfully shall be fully and generally
sustained, otherwise rascality will be at a premium, and
those who aro trying to make them suspect mo will run
their arms to their shoulders in their money-bags. —New
York Herald.
