Chief Justice Chmse.

We learn from a Richmond paper
that rumor is current that Chief
Justice Chase, since his recent visit
to the South upon his official duties,
has changed relative to conferring
the right of suffrage upon the freed
men OF the South, and that he now
thinks it improper. and that it threat
ems the nation with disastrous conse-
quences.
We do not credit such o report.
The political rights of the freedmen
have been conferred upon them by
aw, and the chief administrator of
that law could hardly be expected to
hold opinions adverse to it. Besides,
his antecedents give no sanction to
the truth of such a rumor, as he was
among the first of the prominent
men in the country who advocated
the right of suffrage to the colored
people.
Another evidence that this rumor
is unfounded, is in the fact that. on
Wednesday last, at a reception in
Manchester, New Hampshire, he said I:
''New Hampshire and New Eng.
land are great in the power and
worth of their men and women. who
go forth into every part of the coun.
try sowing broadcast the seeds of
virtue, industry, intelligence and
godliness. Thusthey lay the founda-
ton of the nations greatness. Al
most everywhere you find the Yankee
school master and school-marm teach
ing alike the white and the black.
New England does great work for
the republic A nation can only be
great in the virtue, intelligence aud
goodness of her children.
There is force and truth in this
paragraph. If we desire to elevate
the freedmen, they should be edu-
Gated, they and their children, and
we recognize fully all their political
rights.

BEAUroRr. We regret to learn by
private letters, that the condition OF
affairs, in Beaufort, is particularly
gloomy. Before the war, the white
population was about 1900; it is
now, native and stranger, only 500.
The houses given to or bought by
the negroes are, very many of them,
tumbling to pieces. They are with
out fences, and with rank weeds and
all sorts of offensive debris about
them, have most desolate appear
ance. Many houses of the best de-
scription, bought by Northern men,
have no tenants but negroes, herding
there from cellar to attic in penury
and sickness. The coming winter is
expected to be one of great suffering,
If not actual starvation.

DISABILITY AMONG FREEDM EN-
The Yorkville Enquirer says that
three freedmen, charged with perjury
in having taken the Registration
oath"-they having previously been
convicted of felony--were brought
down from York, the other day, and
lodged i'll Jail, to await the action of
the military authorities. Registers
should be careful to explain this oath
to the freedmen, as most of them
take it in utter ignorance of what it
is. and in blissful unconsciousness of
the penalties to which they subject
themselves if they swear falsely.
Under some circumstances, it would
be hard if those penalties should be
inflicted.

WHY GxS. SIoKnEs WAS REMOVED.
The Washington correspondence the
New York Herald says: The cause Of
the removal of Gen. Sickles is his in
subordination in disobeying the posi-
tive commands of the President. The
Order No. 10, resisting the execution
of mandates of the United States Su-
prema Court in North Carolina was
rescinded by the President some
weeks ago, and Gen. Grant instructed
Gen. Sickles accordingly; but the
latter, instead of promptly submit
ting, ordered his subordinates not to
obey the instructions forwarded by
the Attorney General at the command
of the President, and wrote n very
offensive letter to Gen. Grant, in
which he alluded in disrespectful
terms indirectly to the Pf dent, and
asked for a suspension osSthe order
until such time as he (Siokles) could
