CHIEF Justice Chs,e,. Bnn Ran.

Chief Justice Chase's services in crushing
the rebellion "were more arduous and re-
quired more original genius than those Of
any other man." So says the great radical
organ, which, OF course, ought TO know. Chase,
in fact. did manage the war at the commence
meni. He organized the first Bull Run. He
had the army in his hands; Mcdowell was his
man and Inc Tribune was his penny trumpet.
Through that trumpet he blew the "on to
Richmond" signal for many days, and BY his
own "arduous services" snd original genius"
cxertsd In all ways and shapes, prccipitated
the army into Its nrst disaster. He was the
author of that Bull Run. Now there has been
another Bull Run. Of which he IL both the

The various places OF amusement in dis
CT J are ut present developing tastes and pro-
pensities Of the most opposite nature among
their patronA While such pieces az the DEVILS
Auction and the Black Crook are acting n
powerful agents in the cause Of immortality, We
have, fortunately, in drama, what could not be
found in Sodom and Gomorrah, namely. ten just
people. The example Of Rstori, Janauschek
and such artists, Is doing much to check the
demoralzing influence Of undressed ballet on
the stage. The high, pure tone given to drama
by It's Legitimate representatives will, 1t Is
hoped, be sufficient TO stem the torrent Of
immortality before all our theatres are wrecked
in It. The very play In which Rstori has won
her highest honors, and which now attracts
hundreds OF admirers to the French theatre,
l. typical of the state of the stage this season.
Legitimate drama Is like Marie Antoinette. rs
II IL now hemmsd around by the sa,as c,dottes
of bdllet and spectacle, and is jecrei at in
burlesques OF the broadcst kind. Let us hope
that II will not suffer her late. Miss Fanny
Janauschek, German Iragedienne of the very
highest order, Is also doing good service in
the cause Of drama Both artists appeal to the
intellect and the purcst feelings Of the mind,
while the tinsel scanty drapery and miserable
twaddie OF the spectacular drama, excite only
the grosser passions OF human nature. The
issue Of the contes. Is yet doubtful.

Our City Politics.

we publish to-day full and final review OF
the political situation in the city prior to the
nomination OF the various candidates to be
voted for with the State ticket next month
There is . remarkable lack Of interest and ex-
element about the result In the State, the
general feeling being that 1t matters little
which Of the two lists Of copperhead and mig
gerhead politicians shall be pu: into a few
unimportant Offices, when it Is certain that in
three or four months time the popular organ
ization for Grant for the Presidency will
sweep all The SC, .mbling factions out Of exist
ence. But with regard 10 the city election
very different state Of feeling exists. All the
interest with lrawn from the State centres on
our city affairs, and the nominations and votes
in November for county officers are watched
with eagerness As indicating the probable
result OF the Mayoralty struggle in December.
At present Fernando Wood is doing all tho
active work, and appears TO be tn foremost
candidate. Hoffman, who Is . nonentity, only

Abat~mens 81 tho Yeliew Fover in tac

We recorded yesterday with pleasure tho
fact that the yellow fever ID sbating rapidly
everywhere In the South. On Tuesday, up TO
noon, there had been but seven deaths In
Memphis In Vicksbarg there had been no
deaths within the previous forty-eight hours.
During the Same period there were only four
deaths In Galveston and only two in Mobile.
The secretary Of tho Howard Association ct
New Orleans has 'telegraphei that no iurther
contributions are needed, inssmuch rs the
number OF victims OF thus fell disease Ii daily
decreasing. In anticipation Of the coming
fiosts 1t seems to have already stayed its
course, although we must warn those who have
fed n0rthward to escape from it not to venture
to return south before the frosts have sctu lily
app ,arod AMI the newspapers OF the infected
districts have wholly ceased to report deaths
from yellow fever.
The epidemic has This year been Of some
what peculiar type, ard has upset many pre-
conceived notions regarding its origin and
spread. Singulariy enough, It has for the
most part orig natsd in interior towns and
villages which have had no communication
with infected ports. In Louisiana it made Its
first appearance ut the little village Of New
Iberia, and spread thence with amazing
rapidity over tho country. I. hid already
done its fatal work In several places before
SINGLE case was reported in New Orleans. In
many marked particulars 1t has been quite
unlike any preceding epidemic. Thai Of 1853
is the only one TO which it can be compared.
But never before has the yellow fever been
50 prevalent In New Orleans alone there have
been between 6fty and sixty thousand recorded
cases. The proporiionste fatality, however,
has been less than ever. This may DO owing
to the peculiar typc Of the disease or 10 the
increased skill of the physicians in its treat
ment 1t is noted among its peculiaritics this
year that It has attacked young children and
even infants, persons born in the city, and, in
some instances, those who have previously had
It, as we'll as large number Of unaccli-
mated Northerners and foreigners who have
arrived in Now Orleans since the close OF the
war. In Mobile there have been but few cases,
and in the cities up the Mississippi the fever
has not been severe. Texas, however, has SUI
fered terribly, and few Of its healthiest interior
villages have escaped the scourge. For some
time past the weather has been cool and favor
able to the decline OF this disease. Frost has
already reached as far south as Corinth.
Within few weeks we trust that Yellow Jack
will have been utterly vanquishel by Jack
Frost The return of health will brighten the
prospects Of the South and we hope that
there may be ere long political convalescence
which shall brighton the prospects Of the entire
country.

THO Question Of Paying the National Deb
In (sreenbncks.


In Greenbncks.
The late elections in the West brought out
rather prominently questions relative to our
national finances, especially with regard to
the national banks AMI payment Of the debt in
lawful money. While tn, elections generally
did not turn upon these questions, they had
their influence. It Ia claimed by . portion OF
the press that Mr.. Cary was elected in the
Second Congressional district Of Ohio on the
greenback issue, as it is called, and not on
tho negro question. There Is no doubt that
the subject of our national finances il looming
up greatly in the West, and will soon become
the most important one before the people.
The Eastern press, In the interest Of the
national banks and the bondholders, misrepre-
sent the real issue about paying tho debt in
greenbacks. AMI improperly call it repudia-
ton. II Is not proposed to issue Wholesale
flood of greenbacks with which to pay of the
debt, but the mass Of the people in the West,
and, we believe, throughout the country, want
the debt pad or as fast as possible while there
Is deprecated ami an abundant currency.
They do not want the currency contracted
until . portion, at least, Of the enormous
weight Is removed from their shoulders. They
see no justice in paying hundred in gold
for fifty loaned in paper when there Is no
legal obligation to do SO. That is what 10
meant by paying the debt in greenbacks, and
which is becoming so popular In the West II
reputation ever comes, It will be brought on
by the usurious and grasping efforts Of the
bondhoders, aide by the national banks, and
not becaus, the people desire it.
