CHASE REslcNED.--Secreary Chase, the
father of greenbacks, and originator Of the
bubble National banks, has concluded to
stand from under before his card house
tumbles about his ears, and has resigned his
responsible post as head and front Of the
Treasury Department.
The immediate reason for his resignation
is said TO be the refusal Of Congress to iu'
crease the taxation under the internal reve.
nue. law. But the Secretary said he has it
i. in his mind to retire for some time, and
only held on to await the result Of the in.
vestigation called out by the attack Of his
enemy Frank Blair. AS he is now excu-
pa,ed, he concludes to go out.
Chase is succ eded by MIR. Fessenden,
Senator of Maine, a gentleman of considera
BILE ability, and one of the few men of mark
in the Senate.

Up to the date of the Overland Australian

gold from Melbourne for the present year
amounted TO $50, 695 ounces, valued at E :
438,76O. OF this amount 81 .2G5 900 were
the produce Of the Victoria gold fields alone,
the remainder being from those of New South

wanting to prove that the Republican leaders
are afraid of free discussion before the people.
and are, therefore, conscious Of their inability
to defend their actions, passage in Mr.. Sew
ards letter to Mr.. Adams. onr Minister az
aondon, sets the matter ut rest. He wrote:
81 do not profess to know, nor do care
to inquire, whether the French press and the
French statesmen have been as intolerant
towards us AS the British press and British
statesmen. 1t is enough that the latter speal,
and print in our tongue, and everybody on
this side of the Atlantic reads and hears
them. The French employ different Ian.
guage. and, practically, are not read and
beard in our country"
He did not care how much the French
men proved him wrong for none of his dupes
could understand French; bat the Englisill
men print his Objectionable stuff in our own
language, and the American people read it,
therefore it must be stopped The servant
says that his master should not know too
much about his own business. Such men
are opposed to the people governing.

The BEoINSINo OF THE END Tho resiu. |

THE BsaINNINo OF THE ESD.--The resg-
nation Of Mr.. Chase AS Secretary Of the
Treasury and the repeal of the Gold Act,
passed a, his insligation but fe weeks
since, is an official recognition of the utter
failure of his financial schemes and more
than that, it is the beginning Of the end of
the present Administration and its policy
if policy it has. The financial policy of the
Administration is the first to explode, but it
is by no means the last; the whole is certain
to fall. Stanton will undoubtedly be the
next rat to leave the sinking ship, and then
one after another will stand from under,
letting the thing down by degrees, until poor
Old Abe will be the only responsible party
wihou. AN element of responsibility. Mr..
Fessenden is undoubtedly the abest man in
bis party; if he had been called to the finan
cia' department in the first place he might
possibly have saved the country from bank
ruptcy and reputation. but now he can do
nothing more than serve as scape-goat for
the sins of his predecessor and to break the
fall which is inevitable. The whole thing
of'this miserable hodge-podge of govern.
ment run 10y country attorneys, tinerant
lecturers and village school masters, has
gone up" The people will either return
to their senses soon, or general anarchy will
insue. A government note or bond is not
nt''nsicaIly worth the paper upon which it
Is printed and never will be. The half mil
lion lives which have been sacrificed in this
war bad much better have been DESTROYED
by flood or fire for all tho good accomplished,
and the public debt is SO much waste paper.
The jig is up; let who will pay the fiddler.

Edward III King Of England, once was
startled on his throne, and had his relentless
grasp weakened by the published words of u
young French girl, a saint, an ideal and SUBJ
lime enthusiast, who cried forth, 81 can
never see the blood of Frenchmen flow with
out weeping" In hundreds of thousands of
homes in the United States there is to day
sweet, pure, and sanity prayer going forth
that this wicked shedding Of American blood
may cease. Indeed from every pure heart
in the land these words are felt if not
heard: IL can never see the blood of an
American flow without weeping" Give this
feeling time and it will save our countrv.--
Already it has commenced to undermine the
crne arsenal of war. If the Presidents ma.
tule were not a coat of mail against all hu,
name and virtuous impressions, he would
even now, feel this vague pulsalon, this bud
ding patriotism, This deep and and passionate
hatred of the war, which will surely, at last,
overthrow his party. and drive him and all
his war supporters out of a land they have
soaked with the blood Of their countrvmen.
Let these holy words DO placed as motto at
the head Of newspapers-let them be painted
upon banners-let them be sung in songs
let them be spoken in parIors, and repeated
everywhere at the corners of the streets-"I
can never see the blood of an American flow
without weeping" And these other words
IL never can an Abolitionist without
saving there goes the cause of my coun.ry's
ron.' Speak these words aloud, all We true
men and true womeul They shall be heard
as the bearings of your country's heart

RoBBING THE REVENUE. - Under this
caption the Stars and Stripes designates
the action of persons moving to obtain pa
tents for land ostensbly for agricultural and
grazing, but which, according to that paper,
they intend and do devote exclusively to
mining purposes; and unless some relief is
devised by the Attorney General or some
competent authority, the rulings Of the Su-
preme Court will enable these spectators to
divert to their own pockets some $50 600 or
$4,000 of Foreign Miners Licenses, that
now goes into the public Treasury.
The Stripes evidently intends being severe
on the Supreme Court, and some unnamed
parties beside, but is rather obscure in its al:
usons. We suppose it particularly refers
to several cases where parties pre.empted
lands many years ago, and having finally OBJ
tanned Government patents, have contested
the right of the State to collect mining IL
cense from the Chinese aud others mining
on their lands, and gained suits.
We know Of several such cases-wher.
parties have held pre- emplion claims for
years, and made Improvements thereon, and
vet the lands were mined upon. and thew
had no recourse until they obtained their pa
tents, when If course, as their title was per
feet, they were entitled to protection in the
courts, and readily obtained it. The owners
of patented land can license persons to mine
upon it if they choose, and the Supreme
Court has decided that the State cannot col.
Iect a Foreign License from foreigners mn-
in upon pri yaia lands
Now, what won d the Stripes do about it!
The intention of the Government may not
be 10 dispose Of the mineral ands--but vet
has surveyed some of Them has offered
them for safe, received the money of pur,
chasers, and has made them patents abso-
lutely without the reservation of minerals.
These patents will always hold good, and no
court will attempt to go behind them.
There is no way of preventing the owner
Of patented land from receiving the benefit
Of the gold it contains, if he chooses to have
it mined, except by mob law, and the Stripes
is not in favor of that, we suppose.
So far from the treasury losing the many
thousands named, few hundred per annum
will be all that will be- diverted in the cases
referred to-

lNDIoNANT.-Thea apparent attempt of the

lNDloNAST.-lhe apparent attempt of the
officers of the Yosemite to sink Capt. Kidd's
opposition steamer Washoe, at the Bencia
wharf few days since, has caused consider
able Indignation against the old iue, wher
ever accounts Of the affair have been read -
The Washoe, on her up trip, was making
fast TO the lower end Of the Benicia wharf.
as the Yosemite was coming into the wharf
on the down trip from Sacramento. The
latter boat did not shut off steam until with
IN about twenty five yards Of the WaShoe,
and t'i"y To reverse her engines, retained
SO much Roadway that she struck the Washoe
IN the bow, cutting her down two feet be low
the water. Captain Kidd promptly run his
boat on the flats above the town-othel wise
she would soon have sunk in twenty feet wa
ter and perhaps many lives lost, As there
were from two to three hundred passengers
on board. After the collision the Yosemite
kept on to San Francisco, her officers not
stopping to ascertain the damage caused by
the collision, or to offer any assistance to the
injured vessel.
The Sacramento papers-al Of whom are
in favor of the old line, and inimical to all
opposition boats-pass over the matter light
ly, and without a word of censure upon the
transaction But the public will not look
upon the matter rs so trivial. They demand
judicial investigation, to ascertain who is
in fault. They do not intend that the old
monopoly, in spirit of intolerance, shall
leoparzo the lives and limbs of passengers
just because they prefer patronizing an oppo
stion boat, instead of contributing to the
p'ethorlc treasury Of a monopoly that has
grown ia. upon Us exactions on the travelling
community for the past twelve years.
If The old line thinks to tlighten people
from travelling on an opposition boat, by
attempting to destroy the boat and passenr
gers, they will fad themselves mistaken. 1t
is sure card to loss their own patronage,
and transfer it to an opposition.
