of his character Of which we were formerly igno-
rant, and we are confident that he can be managed
n future quite easily. Confirm his nomination
by all means.-Kansas Herald q Freedom.

bus correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
says:
THE retiring Democratic officers united cheer
fully in extending the usual c0urtesies, attending
the inauguration ceremonies, with the exception
of Ex-Governor Medill. He was called on in the
morning to approve the bonds Of the State officers
elect, but declined. He was called on by the Joint
committee of both Houses. AMI invited to perform
the usual custom Of escorting the Governor elect
to the Hall Of the House OF Representatives, but
stubbornly declined. No retiring Governor, with
in the memory of any here, has refused this cour-
tesy to his successor. Mr.. Chase has extended to
ex-Governoc Medill, every courtesy; called on him
soon after his arrival in the city. and acted a manly
part, but in return, Medill acts q selfish and unhe-
coming part. His Democratic friends generally
condemn his course in regard to this matter"
