courac to place Chase in the light Of COM
mon trickster. Since the middle Of last De-
cember he has so often, SO emphatically, and
80 recently declared that he would not now,
under any circumstances, allow his name to
be used, that still presenting him would be
highly dishonorable. BE recently Voluntarily
offered to furnish Wade letter to be used In
any way Wade might desire, stating TINT be
vas not and would not be candidate, and
that his most earnest wish In the matter was
for Wade's reelection. He has likewise taken
pains to assure his friends here that he could
not be made 4 candidate, aud that he
thought Wade ought to be nou1ina~
ted. His friends must see that in
the face Of all this no protestations
Of his can save him from the charge of bad
faith If they should persist IN laboriug to Sc
cure Wade's defeat, and Chase's nomination.
Nobody here Aas the slightest doubt Of
Chase's entire sincerity In the nlatter. His
friends in Ohio should take care how they
compromise him.
The recent rebel successes have given the
sccessiopists in Congress courage TO attempt
renewing the old domineeripg plantation !
style. To-day In the course Of an able speech
on arbitrary arrests, Senator Wilkinson ani- |
madyerted severely On Mr.. saulsbury's posi-
tion. Mr.. salisbury replied, giving Mr. Viii
kinson the lie, and saying II do not deem
It necessary to reply to the low scurril-
ity Of the fellow from Minnesota"
He was loudly called to order, but in the
midst Of :be uproar, he managed to finish his
insulting language. Mr.. Wilkinson, however,
WAS not to be bullicd. There are stories this
evening Of u personal difficulty outside the
Chamber in consequence. The passage in
Mr.. Wilkinson's speech that stirred Mr. 8auls.
bury up was this: "Tbe Senator said
that the President, after bis Inauguration,
manifested no further interest In the country,
except to procure Offices for his greedy fol-
lowers, and to try to make the seceders strike
the first blow. Was ever more monstrous
pressed himself thus, he uttered and sent to
the country what was untrue, and what, If he
had taken a moments reflection, he mnst
hare known was untrue The rebels had
been preparing for two months before the
Inauguration Of the President and the Senator
knew it."
The Senate passed Mr. Fessenden's finance
bill. This authorizes but $50 00O, 900 legal
tenders, and conforms fn most respects to
Chase's views. There will be conflict be-
tween tho House and Senate On this subject,
the Senate siding with Chase.
In the House the prospects are that some
Republicans will open bitter var On Chase,
both for general financial policy, aud particu..
larly for failure to sell bonds to pay the
soldiers. =.
Mckee Dunn got through a resolution call
ing for information about the cost Of contra
bands to tho government. A similar resolu-
ton was recently roted dorm, because offered
by Wicklif1c; but it is believed that Its pass
agc will elicit facts that will completely silence
clanors Of opposition on this subject.
Tho Ways and Means Committee nro hostile
to the repeal Of the duty on paper. The vote
in the House to-day indicated probability
that the repeal cannot bs carried.

It is whispered in military circles that ths
retreat from Vicksburg, which Gen. McCler
nand made, was not expected, and Would moi
have taken place under Gen. Shcrmnn's com
/ mand. It is certain that the government II
gricvously disappointed BY the result there
and that the opening Of the Mississippi wa
confidently expected to hare been By this tint
accomplished.
The War Department had, up to this after
