HE fOPE AND JEFF. DAvIS.-Lu france,
Paris journal, and the recognized organ
Of the church party in France, pub
fishes curious correspondence which has
taken place between the arch-rebel JEFF. Davis
and the Pope. We publish in another portion
of this journal the letters in question. Plus
TX, who Is a supplemented, good-hearted,
honest churchman, takes it for granted that
Davis means all he wrote to him concerning
the joy and gratitude the rebel felt at the fact
that his Holiness was DESTROYS that peace might
be made in this country. The Pope, over
joyed to find Davis 90 peaceful in his nature
expresses wish that other rulers and people
In America might be animated with the same
feelings. We would respectfully suggest to
his Holiness the perusal Of President Lincoln's
messages and thanksgiving proclamations,
whereby he will find that be is for peace also.
Let Honest Abe write to the Pope on the SUBJ
ject and satisfy him on this point. We do not
deny that Davis has come out exceedingly strong
in the way Of fasting and prayer during the last
year or two; but We feel assured that be no
more desires peace than does our amiable Presi-
dent Lincoln. Both are fighting for It. Davis
has the advantage, however, Of having joined
the church since be FIRST broke out into open
rebellion against bis lawful government. We
are not aware that Mr.. Lincoln has done so;
ssIl No feel assured that he & quite as peaceful
In bis aspirations as Christian Davis can posi-
bly, be, and the Pope should not be led astray
by the rebel chief With the aid Of that most
successful peacemaker, Uncle Sam Grant, we
intend to put down tie rebellion next spring
ct ell hazards. and thereby secure the right
sort Of peaee--peace for the church and peace
for the country.

The Next Presidency-The Cabinet Im-
brcglio-Mr. Chasc's Prospects.
There is an "irrepressible conflict" in the
Cabinet between Mr.. Lincoln aud his Secretary
Of the Treasury for the next Presidency. How
1t will end remains to be seen; but while the
adherents Of Mr.. Chase are devoted, deter
mined and apparently infexible, the believers
in Honest Old Abe" are cool, active and con.
ident
1t was through the adroit manipulations Of
Mr.. Chase at the Chicago Convention Of 1860
that the original great high priest Of the re-
publican party, Mr.. Seward, was set aside for
Mr.. Lincoln. This was done, however, with
the general recognition Of Mr.. Seward among
the contracting parties as the heir apparent for
the succession. AT all events, Mr. Lincoln, in
the formation Of bis Cabinet, ratified the Chica-
60 compromise by which be was nominated
and elected in appointing among his minis
terial advisers all his rivals for the Chicago
nomination-Messr Seward, Chase, Cameron
and Bates-and by giving to Mr.. Seward the
Cabinet position FIRST In Official dignity and
importance, and to Mr.. Chase the second.
This was very neat arrangement but Il sig
nally failed to make the Cabinet unit, and
failed to modify the aspirations Of Mr.. Chase.
He entered the Cabinet IS candidate for
1864, and thus went to work, from the very out
set, to become the master Of the administra-
ton. His followers, instinctively comprehend
ing their game, soon got up a regular crusade
against Mr.. Seward, which was brought to
crisis by his resignation, involving similar
movement by Mr.. Chase. This was skilful
bit Of strategy on the part Of Mr. Chase; but Pre-
sident Lincoln, in this instance at least, was
equal to the emergency. He saw the danger
Of turning these two Presidential aspirants
loose upon the country, and so beplumply re-
fused to part with either Of them. and as
plumply admonished them that he should keep
them both under his thumb.
