~ now snch that under no ordinary or probable
eHoumstances could Mr.. Chase be induced to
resume bis port folio.
. The impression seems general this morning
anA' mere must now be a recast Of the Cabinet.
mere scarcely single one of the Presidents
inends Dot demand this as Just and proper. But
ihe main point Dseitle will be, whether that cabi-
net shall berateal or conservative. II will be
one or the other
The past has shown the folly Of a divided
council
IL tissaid upon pretty good authority that sena-
tor Sherman would decline the position we're it
offered 10 hin. AS the President has never
mentioned the name of any other Ohio men in
connection with 1t, II is probable he will now look
towards theeast for new men.
A name will probably be sent te the Senate at
noon to-day, as the President is aware Of the i'm
portance Of prompt action.
The Chonicle, in leading editorial noticing
ne resignation Of Mr.. Chase, concludes as fol-
lows'-swe know that Secretary Chase enjoys
the coaddence Of the people TO an unexampled
degree iha. his administration of the finances is
regarded as evinelng the highest craftsmanship
and financial ability, and his withdrawal is
esteemed national calamity.
"Thst there should be a reorganization of the
Cabinet the National Convention has virtually
declared, and almost che unanimous sentiment
Of the country avouches; and If such a reorgani-
Eaiion takes places, the Radical anti-savery sem
timent OF the country is entitled to the Executive
recognition" ff
The National Iateliige,eer, generally supposed
70 Teak III views of Secretary Seward, says, in
3 leading editorial -
"The announcement we are sure will be re-
ceived by the country with equal surprise and
regret; for whatever differences may obtain with
regard TO the .nancial system which has been
undei the administration of Mr.
Chase, It will not be denied by any that he has
Wrought to the discharge Of his duties the highest
capacity and purest personal integrity.
ait is know that yesterday was the termina.
lion of the fiscal year for 1868 and 1854, and Mr.
Chase has, therefore, been able to close the ad
ministration Of his Office with the close of the
year. 1t was supposed by many that he would
have resigned his place ON the restoration Of
General Frank Blair to his command in the
army, but 1t was replied by his friends that he
could not with propriety do 50 at that time, when
his official conduct was just put on trial before
the Committee Of Congress. The country is moi
yet officially apprsed Of the immesi considera
tions Of public duty which have constrained Mr.
Chase 70 take the step thus announced.
"But we believe we run no risk of misstatemeni
when we say that this determination was brought
about by a difference Of opinion between the
