lie is an extremist, and his views on finance
are essentially the same as those of Mr.. Chase.
Mr.. LlncQlnehas taken his new Secretary on
compqislon, and has thus been beaten at the
very. first step i'll the struggle that he seemed to
brave IN going to extremities with Mr.. Chase.

but now, alarmed at tho developement of its
.powor, he has Deem driven into thesfhost COM
plete approval and endorsement of Mr.: Chase
against himself; he has accepted Mr. Chase's
double.
Of course, tire trouble. does not end here. Mr..
Lincoln doubtless accepted Mr.. Chase's resig-
: nation "nder tho lmmediato- pressure of Il. more
than usually rough Cabinet quarrel; but, hav-
ing accepted it, he, thereby fastened the inevi-
table issue of a difficulty hitherto successfully
emothered, covered up and kept dormant in
the Republican party. The difficulty is the
powerful and determined opposition Of the Sen:
ate to Mr.. Lincoln. So long as Mr. Chase was
in the Cabinet, this opposition nurscd its wrath
and kept quiet. lie controlled it.. But upon
his removal, the pent up bitterness Lccan to-
discharge its fury. Olher causes, thcr efore

wepe at the bottom of the objections to that
gentleman. Mr. Lincoln, moreover, know
Iods lncompetcncy well rs any one But
Iod is a nonentity, ,,and lie wanted noncntty
in his place. More than this, Tod was from
OHIO. By this profer of a man from Mr..
Chases State he hoped to simply supply that
gentleman's place and to keep otherwise the
Cabinet status or balance. And the Senate
opposed Tod, not because lie was unfit for the
place. but simply to declare it's views that the
Cabinet is unit, and that the change of one
member destroys the identity of the body. and
that the whole must be made one.
1t made this the basis Of its opposition, and
tie array of the. forces opposed to him On this
point, frightened Mr.. Lincoln into the tempo
rary REIMBURSEMENT Of the struggle, and induc
Cd him to seek the first shelter he could find.
and to escape on any terms. But he has not
escaped. He has only shown TO the Senate
how much it may require and how ample its
power is. The Senate will not be. satisfied with
one victory: Mr.. Lincoln, in this difficulty
with Mr'Cbase, commenced,a war that will
not cease until he has re-organized his Admin
lstration through and through, and entirely
changed the personnel of his Cabinet t. Is
therefore a quarrel that will inure to the nub.
