An Opinion Of the Cabinet.

Mr.. Chase has followed the example of
the rebel Memminger so persistently OF late
that we almost hoped to see his resignation
handed in as soon as the news came that
Memminger had resigned. His schemes
have forced gold up to an eXtravagant
height, depreciating the currency and
raising the prices of the necessaries of
life in an equal ratio. Unless he be
speedily removed, and his place filled
with a competent financier, he will re-
duce our currency to the level of the
Continental shipplasters, the old French
assignats and Memmingers waste paper
Stanton is an excellent bully, but very
bad Secretary of War. The rebels con-
stantly outwit and get ahead of him. They
can reinforce Lee from Johnston; but STAN
ton is unable to toreinforce Grant. He is only
energetic when thwarting the plans OF a
General whom he dislikes, or when playing
the tyrant with some unfortunate candidate
for Fort Lafayette. If he had labored as
steadily against the rebellion as he did
against Mcclellan the war would have been
over long ago. We believe that he likes
Grant but he has not the capacity to be
Of any service to the Lieutenant Genn-.i.

cent bombardments of the national treasury.

ion for Congress-whereupon he is said to
ave shed tears most copiously, refusing for
long time to be comGprted! Col. j. II
iODMAN was his successful competitor
or the nomination, and was beaten at the
lection by Hon. VIM. JOHNSTON, the pres
Mt able and efficient Representative in
congress from that District. Last Wednes-
ay, the shoddyites held another conven-
ion at Delaware, and HUBBELL was again
candidate. His competitors were-JoHN
sEATTY, Of Morrow County; l.. B. MATsoN,
nd ISAAC GAss, of Richland; p. B. Cole,
t Union. Aftera long and stormy session,
nd after much manipulating and wire
ulling, HUBBELL, on the sth ballot receiv-
d majority, and was declared nominated.
