| Chief Justice Chase enjoys the singular
aud enviable distinction Of being the only
Chief Justice whose opinion on every inn
portant question is reg ularly overriddeu by
The Supreme Court. His opinion is always
a dissenting opinion. To the series of de.
cislons made by that illustrious body in
which the Chief Justice has successsivcly
and disreputably figured in the minoriiy--a
minority. consisting sometimes. of himself
aloue-has just been added the grcat and
croa ming result in the Milligan case, de.
cision byqwhich the military trial, and arbi-
trary arrests, as well as some other enormi.
ties, growing out of the Republican party
rule during the last six years, are shown to
BE- in flagrant violation of the organic law.

The Herald's Washington correspondent
gives a little insight to the late mission OF
Gen, Sherman and Campbell to Mexico :
The expedition, according TO Mexican ad-
Vices, has proved a positive injury to Jur-
ez and wiudfall to orieea. The two ENJOYS
were at odds with one another from the start
each claiming to rank the other, and each
had seperate instructions. This led TO a
stormy discussion between them in which
personal illusions, by no means compliment
AIRY, had eliminated In open breach at Mata'
uioras, where they parted company, return
ing to New Orleans by sep-r,- routes.
