It is alleged by nearly all the public prints,
that Secretary CHAsE's resignation was caused
by the refusal of Congress to sanction his flnan-
cial plans, particularly those which demanded
the exclusion from circulation, by means of
taxation, of the issues of State Banks, and tax
bill that would produce revenue equal to one
half the current expenses of the war; 1t Is
said Secretary CHASE months ago gave mem-
bers of Congress due notice, that unless his
financial programme was adopted, he would
not hold himself responsible for marrying on
the financial affairs of the Government. But
Congress has been in session seven months,
and is now on the eve of adjournment; it has
Just passed tax bill that will not raise two
thirds of the lowest amount on which the Sc
cretary believed the National credit can be
maintained; and it utterly refuses to retire
from circulation one dollar of the State Bank
issues. Secretary CHASE, finding his financial
plans treated with contempt, throws up his
portfolio and retires in disgust, preferring that
some one who sanctions the course OF Con-
gress, shall have the glory of carrying ont It's
schemes.
OF the course which Mr.. FEssENDEN will pur-
sue. It is too early to speak. The Chicago Tri-
bune says:
His views as heretofore expressed on the
floor of the Senate have not been in harmony
With the financial ideas of Secretary Chase. He
has not urged nor favored as high war tax,
nor has he endorsed Secretary Chase's PROPOSE
tion TO retire from circulation by taxation the
Emissions of the wildcat banks; but on the
contrary he has stoutly resisted such taxation.
He has differed also with Mr.. Chase in relation
to raising money by loans Mr.. Chase has In
sisted that Federal bonds should not be sold
for less than par. Mr. Fessenden idea is they
ought to be sold for whatever they may fetch,
be the same more or less. In this respect his
views meet with hearty backing from all the
money spectators in New York and out OF it.
Mr.. Fessenden opposed at every step the
proposition to tax stocks of whisky on hand,
and defeated the bills to that effect as often as
they passed the House. On this he was ct
variance with the late Secretary. The fnan-
cial measures adopted being in the main In &C
cordance with Mr.. Fessenden's notions and
largely shaped by him, it was peculiarly fit and
proper for the President to offer him the port
folio of the treasury. 1t may be that capital
lists win accord to him more of their conf
dence and support than was received by EAR.
Chase, and that the change may be for the
better.
1t will be interesting to note hereafter how
many members of the present Congress, which
is denounced on all sides as incompetent and
corrupt, will be re-nominated and supported
at another. election.

Terrible Railroad Catastrophe orr the
Grand Trunk Railroad.

An emigrant train, consisting of eleven cars,
went over Belord Bridge, at st. Hiliare, Canada
East, on the 29th ult, with 354 emigrants on
board. A dispatch says:
Thirty-four bodies have been recovered, and
between thirty and forty uken out more or
less badly injured.
The train from Quebec has been delayed in
consequence.
One car has not been sufficiently reached to
allow the dead TO be taken from it.
Only two living have been rescued from this
car
The depth of the water where the accident
happened is about ten feet.
The engineer went down with bis engine
but escaped with slight injuries
A dreadful responsibility seem to rest on this
man for violating the standing order to stop
before going on the bridge.
The conductor, Thos. Finn. is killed. The
fireman is also supposed to be HI led.
st. Hiliare is about nineteen miles from Mon

Unity.

The following we take from late number
of the Cincinnati Commercial:
The history of the war proves that the peo-
pie of the Union States, united, are abundant.
~ able to put down the rebellion by force of
arms, and establish the nationality of the Amer
lean Republic upon basis that may be regard
ed solid and indestructible. tits clear enough,
also, that one.half the people of the North are
inadequate to the task of preserving or restor
ing the nation, agaist the relentless opposition
of the other half, and the practically united
people Of the seeding States, armed and des.
perate. Convince US that one-half the people
North are earnest sympathizers with the rebel
armed traitors so far as their political action
is concerned, and ready to give chem armed as
distance if occasion offers, and we shall be con-
strained to believe the national cause hope
less one.
But, says the C;neisaati Commercial, the
Radical papers are constantly seeking to make
itappear to the rebels that one half the people
of the North are practically cooperating
with them, and "ready to give them armed
assistance if occasion offers" The party in
power have worked hard to divide the people
of the Union States by the agitation of ques-
tions that they knew must create dissensions
and earnest opposition. This opposition which
has been entirely and exclusively devoted to
the measures and policies deemed injurious,
and not against the Union or the Government,
the Republican press has uniformly stigmatized
as disloyal, thus giving comfort to Southern
traitors, as well as widening the breach be-
tween political parties in the North. If those
who are now SO ready to cry "Copperhead,
had really desired ananiinity amongst us, all
they had TO do was to make the question be-
fore the country simply Union or Disunion,
which they could easily have accomplished by
laying aside their abolition and negro-equality
fanaticism.
