MR. CHAsE's MANAGEMENT OF THE TerAsrRY.--
The fact that million of dollars has Just been
paid out by the Treasury to recompense slave.
owners In the District of Columbia whilst so
large portion of the army has yet to receive
the arrears OF pay due to il, is exciting good
deal Of indignant comment Even in the Senate,
amongst men Of Mr. Chase's own political com.
pleyion, the conduct Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury in postponing the liquidation Of these
arrears has not escaped severe censure Mr..
Wilson emphatically stated, the other day, that
there never was an hour when the government
did not have full authority from Congress to
provide the means to pay the troops We have
always believed that If the necessary energy
had been used by Secretary Chase in this regard
there need never have been the slightest
ground for complaint on the part of the army
So much Of his time, however. has been spent in
interfering with the other branches OF the
government, and in controlling the conduct Of
the war, that he has had but little leisure left 10
attend to the concerns Of his own department

SEA-GoNG QUALITIES % Our IRoN-CLADs.-
The loss of the Monitor, just as the remainder q
the iron-cIads of the same class had been CON.
peted, created strong feeling Of doubt and
encouragement in regard TO the seagoing qua.
lities Of these vessels. Even when the facts
came 10 be known the misgvings caused by the
disaster in question could not easily be di-.
PEELED. People could not get over the feeling
that we had made bad Investment Of a large
amount Of money, and placed too much depend
ence on a class Of vessels that could not safely
be sent to sea, and that consequently would be
Of but little use for the purposes for which they
were intended. The manner in which the Wee

would see which side would get tired first Of

TN REMOVAL or DEAD BODIES FROM CRY
CHURCH. VAULrs. Some years ago considerable
excite,aent was oocasiOned by the discovery
thai. the Trinity church vaults were exposed on
Thames street, and this excitement was rene~ed
when the bodies Of those persons inferred in
the old Dutch chureb-noW the Post Office
anu Oh 'us oio tick church property were re-
u'oveo We find the same excitement at pro-
Sent In regard to the exhumation Of the remains
Of those buried In tho vaults OF the Sullivan
street church; but with this difference, that
while. formerly the work was properly done it
now seems to have beoa conducted with every
possible outrage upon both the living and the
dead. The idea of robbing corpses OF their
Jlewelry stealing the broken coalns and the sill
yer plates upon them, and packing the remains
Of four thousand people into two hundred
boxes, is horribly repulsiye, and we are sur
prised that men can be found who will commit.
countenaHce or allow such proceedings. In
spector Delavan deserves great praise for his
prompt interference and the measures he has
taken to have the rest Of the removals decently
made.
1t is, Of course, better for the health Of the
city that all the vaults and church yards within
Its limits should be cleared OF their contents,
and that all burials should be made in remote
cemeteries like Greenwood. The price OF iand
and the desire TO make money have more TO 90
with the action of these church trustees, how
eyer, than any regard for our sanitary welfare.
They sell the graves Of their friends to make
money, and they desccrate tde bol'cs OF
the dead in order to have the work Of
removal done as cheapiy as possible. These
trustees, who have received thousands OF dol
lars for the use Of their vaults, should be con-
PEELED to move the bodies, coffin BY coffin,
and inter them at the expense OF tue chutch Ia

CRIvALRous F. F. v CoNE TO GRiEFNS
The chief leader and instigator of the late
disastrous riot in n Y city was an F. +. v.
by the name of John e. Andrews. He was
born In Virginia, is about IS years of age,
and speaks with the Virginia, negro accent:
Andrews was president of Club in tbe
Eighth Ward in 1860, which contained most
of the notorious thieves, pimps and gamblers
IN that ward. He has been seen to walk the
streets of the city arm in arm with notori
Gus colored woman of the town. and at the
time of his arrest, the officers found him in
bed with this colored woman at No. 10
Eleventh street. When arrested he asserted
the cspperhead doctrine of arbitrary and un-
constitutional arrest without warrant, and
demanded to be taken before magistrate
and admitted to BAIL He admitted he made
a speech to the rioters. and was heard to urge
them on to greater acts of violence. He was
evidently an agent of the rebels sent to \
7. to stur up strife. as he had considerable
amount cf confederate scrip in his pocket
when arrested. He was sent to Fort Lafav.
cite, where he cannot practice his amalge-
nation principles.
