The DOMESTIC SLAVE TRADE.--In the Senate,
on the oath ult., the Miscellaneous Appropria-
tion bill being under consideration, Mr.. Sum-
ner offered new section repeating the 9th and
9th sections of the act prohibiting the impor-
tation of slaves into any part of the United
States after January, 1903. which said sections
regulate the coastwse slave trade. The
amendment was first rejected in Committee OF
the whole-yeas l3, nays 20; but on the fol-
lowing day, when the bill was reported to tie
Senate, Mr.. Sumner renewed his motion, and
it was adOpted-ycas %, nays IA. Of course
it must go to the House for concurrence. but
we presume that body will readily pass it, and
then the statute-book of the nation will be de
liyered from one Of its foulest blots. Mr..
Sumner deserves and will receive the thanks OF
the friends for his zeal in this behalf

resignation of Secretary Chase.

The news OF the withdrawal of Mr.. Chase
from the treasury department was generally re-
ceived with marks of surprise and regret. His
success in carrying the country along under
the pressure for means during the struggle 10
which sh has been engaged, has given him
strong hold upon the confidence Of the people,
and his separation from the finances wouo
have been at any time. and rot the less SO now
deemed caIsmity. The loss of this conf
depce. and the complication and difficulty ap-
pretended, produced, as might well have been
expected, some sensation. This feeling was not
ailayed by the subsequent step OF the Presi.
dent in the nomination OF Elk Governor TOT,
for the vacancy. His want of adaptation for the
position, seemed to be the common thought
and the nouiuation staggered the wisest
There was, however. no occasion for apprehen
sion on this latter point, as it now appears. FOL
the Senate viewed the nomination 10 about the
came light as the people, and confirmation
was out of the question. The Governor
showed his good sense in refusing the proffered
honor. The way was still open, and the Chair
man Of the Finance Committee, VIM. p. Fes
senden, of Maine, 1t was indicated would bt
acceptable to the confirming power, whereupor
the Executive sent in his name and he wa
confirmed with a very Aattering degree o
unanimity. He has since accepted the Office
and entered upon its duties, and all is agair
quiet and hopeful.
