OmcIal Degradation.

The stump speaking, electoneering tour
of Chief Justice Chase among the negroes
Of the South, has called forth sentiment
Of general condemnation. That the highest
Judicial officer known to the constitution
should so far debasc himself as to endeavor
TO make capital for tho next Presidency
by preaching the doctrine of "negro suf-
frage" to the freedmen" of the South, is
something the people cannot understand
or appreciate. Yet this is the position now
occupied by the Chief Justice of the United
States. 1t is, in every aspect, humili-
ating and disgraceful The late President
Lincoln truly described the complaint of
Chase, when he remarked that he had "ihe
Presidency on the brain" Chase was al
ways a demagogue, but when he was
elevated to his present high position,
people had right to expect that he would
have some respect for the dignity of his
position. In this they have been disap-
pointed. The New York Day Book, al
hiding to this subject, pertinently asks ;
Whoever heard of Justice Nelson,
Wayne, Greer, Catron, or Curtis, going
around the country dabbling in the dirty
pool of politics Just think of the illus
trious predecessors of Chase, of Marshall
or fancy turning stump orators at some
niger meeting Oh, ye shades of the
great departed how have the mighty
fallen The best thing Chase can do is to
resign and save the country further dis
grace. lfhc is so very anxious to be next
President, he can then devote his whole
time to electioneering among the black
and white niggers upon whom he expects
to rely for support"
