Ba- The New York Times says: Gen.
Frank Blair made, lately, a very vi,u-
perAtive speech against Secretary Chase.
IN very bad taste, unjust, and utterly
unius,ifable in every respect; and i
happened afterward, that the President
returned him bis commission as Major
General, and ordered him into the 6eld
to ight rebels instead Of staying at home
to hght Union men For tkis, Congress
seems inclined to call the President to
account, as If be had committed soue
great wrong against the Secretary Of the
Treasury. This sensitiveness to the
proprieties Of Official life is encouraging.
though it comes somewhat late. For
months past, persons holding eouspicu-
Gus Official positions, have made il their
business TO abuse the President without
stint, but they have neither been dis
missed nor denounced IN Congress there
for. Is il treason to assail Secretary,
and no ofense st all to tack the Presi-
dent-or are We really to have a new or
der Of things in this respect7
Nothing, in our judgment, couId have
been worse thsn General Blair's speech,
unless it ia The fuss Congress seems IN
eIIned to make over IL II that BODY
could forget its personal resentnents and
paltry ambitions q little while, and de
/ vote its attention TO the public good, i
would very greatly enhanes its claims tc
the public gratitude.
