Chase's Resignation.
STAMPEDE OF TREASURY
OFFICIALS.
WAsaINeToN, June 80.

Herald's Special says: The friends Of Mr.
Chase tell different stories. They say hiI
resignation is the contamination of pur
pose long entertined, and delayed only BY
accident. That he was determined to leave
the Cabinet and prepared his resignation a,
the time Frank Blair made his violent as
sault upon the Treasury Department and
ocsasioned the appointment Of an inVesti'
eating committee. That he could not hon
orably retire while this investigating was
pepding; but that to-day since the. commit
tee had reported, exonerating him from all
shadow Of censure, be availed himself Of
the first moment when it could be done
With honor to peremptorily resign. It is
added as an additional reason that last
evening the Secretary submitted to the FL.
nance committee of the Senate and Way
aud Means committee Of the House, bill
placing additional taxes upon certain arti,
cles of Injuries such as whisky, tobacco,
petroleum, &C., accompanied by statement
that it was absolutely necessary toprovide
for 1856 100000 more revenue from this
source to enable the government to 60 on
with safety, and that the coldness with
which his proposition was read by both
committees had strengthened his determi'
nation to abandon Office under this admins
lstration, the duties of which were render>
ed difficult almost to impossiblity by the
folles of tho administration on the one
hand and the unwillingness of Congress on
the other to provide means to sustain the
public credit.
WASHINGTON, june 80 The Tribune's
special says:
1t is now settled that the question of fill
ing Mr.. Ciscos place followed by differ
ence of opinion between himself and the
President about the recommendation of Q
new tax bill, was the occasion af Mr.. Chase's
resignation, of which his injuries at the
hands of the Blairs was the cause. Mr..
Chase wanted M. Field appointed in New
York. The President wished an office for
Mr.. Hillhouse, Ex. Governor Morgan's can
didate. Mr.. Chase desired the President
to send message to Congress, embodying
his views upon the necessity of enhancing
the rates Of taxation in the bill in its pass
sage, 80 as to raise $85, 10000 more mons
ey. This the President declined to do In
the heat of resentment MIR. Chase rendered
his resignation, and withdrew. He could
not have known it was accepted until after
message was sent to the Senate nomina-
ting Governor Tod, for he was, during the
forenoon, in conference with the Finance
committee, in conference with members of
the Ways and Means committee, fully and
l.borisusly attending to the duties of his
office in it's relation with Congress, during
the,passage of a financial measure Judge
Leach, Of Ohio, Solicitor Of the 9th Audi,
tors bereau, and Sd Auditor. Atkinson, Of
Ohio, Mr.. Chase's sppointees, have resign
ed. 1t is said Mr.. Harrington, Assistant
Secretary, resigned to-day. Mr.. Chitten-
den the Register, resigned some days since.
The chief supporters Of Mr.. Tod have been

confidence is reviving; as there is general
aticipatioa OF the repeal of the gold bill,

caused by the sudden enlargement or con-
traction of the volume of the circulating

ted the ticket nominated on the 9th of Sep
TENDER, stands particularly charged by his
constituents to cast his vote for James IL.
Lane, as United States Senator for the term
of six years from the 4th of March.
Never did people do wiser act. The
selection may not suit elques and localities,
but the great mass of the people, and the
North. East, South and West portion of
the State will reap the benefit. II has been
charged that Lane ''runs Lincoln and the
whole Government" Would it not, then,
be the height of folly for the people of Kan
sas to cast aside an influential and faithful
public officer, and place an untrisd man in
the harness with such wooden thing as S.
G. Pomeroy How would Kansas stand

as to get another such nonentity as Pome-
roy in the Senate Run no such risk, at
least while the nonentity has two years yet
to serve. The railroads building through

will be commenced within the next six
years, and other public improvement pro.

The vindicatiOn of senator Lane.

The returns of the election have come in
slowly, but sufficient is known to give Sen
ator Lane large majority Of both branches
of the Legislature, and the candidate for
Governor charged to be in his interest has
received a majority Of over Three Thousand
on the home vote. Of the members elect
of the Legislature thus far known Sixteen
Senators and Forty Nine Representatives.
will favor the re-ele ctio1 of General Lane.
No man in The history cf American pol
ltics has been so bitterly assaulted or I'M
scrupulously beliod as Senator James H.
Lane. His hold on the affections of the
people, his faithful devotedness to their
interests, and his mighty influence Uith the
Administration at Washington and the
leading men Of the Nation, have excited the
jealousy of the dwarfs and pigmios so
abundant in Kansas politics. 10 charge
was too false, INSCRIPTIONS, contemplate
or mean but that these vampires hurled at
him. No rule of propriety, no sense of hon
or, have suffced to shield the moral feelings
of the community from their indecent as
saults upon this man. Nothing whatever
was left unsaid, and no affidavit Impoverished
which might have a tendency to corrupt
the public mind against him. Ever true to
| the constituency which has houcred him.
| looking always with an argus eye to the
best interests of his beloved State, he allow
ed the poltroons to rail on unheeded, when.
at the proper moment, without any special
efforts cd his part, his people have over
VIII elmingly sustained him. That James H
Lane has been a true and faithful public
servant to the State at large, no man eau
deny. He has excited the railery against
himself wholly by the distribution of pub.
ic favors and the disappointment of the
cormorants who have no: enjoyed his conf
dence, has been the cymbal from whence is
sued all this noise.
1t is useless to review the record which
has been so falsifed and distorted, but not
withstanding which the people have 81
handsomely endorsed. No man in the Ma
ton has enjoyed such notoriety as ''JiH
Lane" and hence the people could not hav,
been deceived; and the efforts made agains
him Justify the conclusion that they acteC
deliberately, and with full knowledge 0
the mans actions and claims.
Nor can there be any clubbing as to tn
issue of the late election. The assailan Is 0
Senator Lane made that distinct and positiv
themselves they would admit of no other
issue than Lane and anti-Lane, and th
thickest of the battle they waged directl,
against Lane. For instance, in the Marshs
and Riley Senatorial District, Major Adams
the anti Lane candidate, said in his lette
accepting the nomination, that his princips
business In the Senate would be to ''klll o.
Jim. Lane Well, the people said thei
say, and by majority of from fifty to on
hundred, it is that he shan't do any sue
thing. Thus were the lines drawn all owe

And my storyis soon told.
Price gained the day at PILOT Knob
And thought he'd cut O dash,
But when he came to foot the bill
He didn't have the cash
For E wing killed thousand rebs--
Although he had to run
And showed that whipping Kansas men
Is anything but fun
But what ,De did you want to know.

But brave men sometimes do retreat
Some say zoe had to run,
But Moonlight tarried in the rear
To show the rebs some fun.
We left that place, there's no dispute
With some haste, it is true
But though we didn't like it,
Twas the best that we could do.
On Little Blue we took our stand.
We didn't care a snap
Wed fight the whole COME deracy
As soon as General Pap.
guess that Comp'ny "E'' was there
Guns Number Two and Four
We gave them all the shell we had,
And wished it had been more.
But Pap was running the machine -
He worked US in the lead
He swore he'd go to Leavenworth-
That Kansas now must bleed.
But great men often make mistakes,
And Pap was not to blame
That Pleasanton prevented him
From playing out the game.
Tom Carney is a valiant man,
BRIG Deitzler" is another.
But if ma brains were scarce as theirs,

Do honor to their name,
For fear their military acts
Might benefit Jim Lane.

Who figured in the great affair
That brought defeat to Dad"
A hope that Carney and his clique,
Who laid such cunning traps
To kill the mighty chief, Jim Lane,
May fare still worse than Pap.
