Five Years aEo, had any one suggested Sal.
.1non P. Chase as the probable succcssorof Rog-
Ct B. Tnncy in the most responsible and emf
1lent position OF Chief Justice Of the United
States, he would have been REGARDED as IN
need Of 4 straight jacket. Tue chasm that
separated the lute from the present incur-
bent Of that station is wider Than that spauncd
by the twenty years sleep Of Rip Van Wrinkle,
70 which he iay down loyal subject Of King
dent Washington. The death Of Judge Ia
ncy during the night following the popular
vote whereby Mnrylnnd Was made Free
State, marked the close Of IN era the acccs-
sion of Judge Chase marks the commence
ment Of another. The passing nway of thc
midst ofa gigantic civil conrulsion which has
piled the earth with its slain and filled the
hky with the smoke Of its contlagrattons but
We need not doubt that the angry clouds Of
battle md havoc will soon be illumincd by
The bow Of couciliation and peace.
The unantmtty and hcartincss whercwith
Gov. Chase'6 appointment has been welcomed
argue Ecncrl appreciation Of the chapced
attitude Of our country-fAr more general
than had previously been realized. The clam
or and crash OF parties in our late President
5al contest have given place to general con-
yiction that Impartial Liberty ID hcncclorth
TO be thc fundamental law Of the Republic:
hence the instructive perception that Gov,
Chase Ia the very man Tor Chief Justice. For
more than twenty years, he hns not only be-
1icved but proclaimed that Liberty in our
Union is the general mud permanent rule, Slu-
very the local and transitory exception. He SO
held when to affirm 8 vital faith In the Rights
of man as man was to bid adicu to all hope
OF political power or honors he has coutiuu-
% 80 to hold until, through the madness of
inc slaveholding interest, 1t has BECOME pos
sible to love aud uphold impartial Freedom
without thereby mourning ostrx.cism Of nro-
scr1ptlIu. His present position adds another
to the visible, tangible announcements to
faith in the right, and in the present. palpa-
BILE activity OF Divine Justice IN tue afrairs of
mankind.
The position Of Chief Justice bus bern filled
since It was created By the Federal Constitn-
lion, by four persons, namely, /. JOHN Jav of
New York g Oliver Ellsworth Of Conne,ti.
cut; g. John Marshall Of Virginia 4. Romer
B. Taney of Maryland. Messrs. JaY md
Ellsworth were respectively nomiuatcd bv
Washington: and each resigned after Serving
for few years only: judge Marshall was
nominated by John Adams just before bis rc-
ti.ctncut from the Presidency; and Judge
Tnney hv Gen. jackson in the latter half Of
his second term. Marshall took the office in
Lis maturcr prime, and held it orcr thirty
four Years, dying In it at the ripe age Of 80;
Iancy accepted it when nearly 50, yet held It
almost thirty years, dying Chief Justice at
Tie rile age Of 81. As Ellsworth lived to be
q ana Jay to be 93, the office may be deemed

Sr. LOUIS, July 23.-The Democratic Fort

reported to be at Kingston, Caldwell county,
having been Joined by his Major, with con.
siderable force. Their joint strength is said to
be about !, 500. Gen. Flske Ia pursuing with
militia, and Col. Ford with portion OF the Cd
Colorado, is following. Several bands are
scouting Platte and Clay counties, and between
the two forces th'se counties meet rebel pun
lshment. Gen. Curtis still holds Weston with
part Of the 18th Illinois, one hundred days
men, and battery, under Major Tuueston,
from Southern Kansas.
Bushwhscking oper atoms are active In West
ern Missouri, south Of the river. @ n. McKeon
thinks they desire q foray into Kansas. At
least 700 arms have been turned over to Thorn
ton BY dsloyal or "PawIsw militia"
There Is but little doubt that dlsloyal parties
from Iowa aud Illinois b we been passing into
Northern Missouri for the last three weeks to
Join Thornton. This accords with the state
ment made by Thornton at Platte City, that
1900 lllinoisans would JON his force. The
river patrol lie still kept up north Of Wyan-
dOtte.
Thornton's mArauders have a regimental or

ant COLONEL Thralkill, Major and several no.
