JUDGE CHASE:

Chief Justice Chase visited ,Ohiojust before
The election and made'a speech in favor of the
marty Advocating that universal colored suffrage
e which he has always been understood to he
F, notential advocate. But his trust friend,
the Cincinnati Commercial, now makes pro-
cIamation that notwithstanding the great
,anutation as radical that Judge Chase has,
he is in temperament. and convictions one OF
tbe most truly conservative men in the coun-
tyr' Not only does.h he disconntenance entire
" the confscation OF the lands OF Southern
White men and their division among the color
ed people, and is also opposed to the impcach-
ment of the President, but as to colored. sui
Irage the Commercial says -, ta.s@ q -
"He never urged it. He recognized the
sflct that while in the Southern States, where
The great body Of loyalists were black, colorcd
suffrage was demanded by considerations OF the
public safety, no such demand was made iii the
North, and that the Southern whites might,
in a great degree, have their prejudlces CON
quered by coupling suffrage with 5anInasfy,
while there was no such lndacemcnt IN the
North to makeapplication of the golden rule. :
Accepting in good faith this statement in
behalf of the Chief Justice, it can only be said
that the emotion produced by the results lot
the Ohio election appears to have turned his
head nearly to rebel grey in single night.
1t New York and one or two other States
should happen to 90 in the same directions, we
shall not be surprised If some of his confdcn-
iiaI organs discover that lie is not on " opposed
to coorcd suffrage in the North, but that his
fine moral sense andinnate love Of justice have
always revolted at the idea of compelling the
South to make that her daily bread which the
North will not touch even in infnitessimal
doses, Baltimore SIN. '' ~

TIE SITUATION.

1t is the instinct of human nature-indccd,
OF all animated nature of whatever grade, from
the lowest to the highest forms Of life-to seek
its own protraction and its own advancement.
Generally we know what to do to avoid danger
and secure safety and comfort, but the uncer-
tainties ofour present situation and the numer-
ons contingencies to which we are subject, are
such as to lcaveus in doubt and confusion of
mind. OF course, we all naturally desire to do
the best that We can under the trying circum-
stances in which we arc placed. How to do Is,
is the question. If, when authorized to vote,
we exercise suffrage in accordance with our
best reflections, and with the best intentions,
we know not that we may not be doing what
will bring down upon our heads and upon our
people and State some new punishment some
new wthunderbolt, red with uncommon wrath. {
We arc invested with sort OF spectral, shad-
owy, unreal free-agency: authorized and ad-
vised to vote, and yet threatened if we vote Us
our instincts and interests require, that we will
do it at our peril We say, therefore, that we
would rather have no suffrage than a con
strained suffrage no elections than sham cleo
tons. If we are not to govern ourselves we
would rather have no part or. lot, no merely
nominal and unreal connection with and agency
in elections. This, we believe, is the feeling
of all our people. Nor does it spring from any
contuplacious or rebcllious disposition. 1t
arises from and out Of the doubts, difficulties
and distraction, incidentto our present anoma-
ous situation. Rlch V]uQ. ~ y.EU.4E

A SINGULAR CLAIM. - It will be remembered
that Secretary Nc Culoch, some weeks ago, re-
ceived a pack age containing $4,000, greater
portion of which was in 7-30 bonds, with the
nun bers cut out and the remainder in national
currency, No letter or signature accompanied
the money, but the envelope was post marked
Urbana, Ohio The money was placed to the
credit of the conscience fund, there being moth
ing to show from whom it came, and the fact
that the numbers were cut ont OF the bonds
proved that the former owner of them did not
want to be known On Wednesday last letter
vas received from party 10 Wisconsin, the
postmark being Honey Greek. The writer
claimed that he sentthe money to- be converted
into other securities, such as tho Secretary
might think proper to send, and gave as his
reason for sending no communication or sigma
ture with the money, that he was very sick at
the time, and not able to write The officers
of the Treasury are of the opinion that the
letter is from some party who saw the publicsai
tion that$l9,O00ha had been received, and thinks
he can claim the same. Detectives OF the
Treasury will look into the matter. - )Jostutgton.

Money was IN abundant supply at six per
cent on call, in Nsw Yerk Saturday, with ex-
ceptional transactions at five and seven per
CT Mt, the lower rate being exclusively on gov
eminent securities pledged by the leading
dealers. The prevailing distrust of credits
checks discounting operations, and there is q
large amount OF mercantile paper afioat for
which no market can be found, although the
banks take their customers paper at seven
per cent. The statement of the associated
banks for last week is favorable the changes
being an increase of S1.01a, i24 in legal tender
notes, IS, AS $40 in deposits, S77,996 In circu-
lation, S2,Sl3,3'1 in specie and S46,770 in loans
The Southern demand for currency is increas-
ing, and the banks are holding themselves in
readiness to meet considerable dram towards
that section to move the co ton crops. The
Western exchanges are, however, in favor OF
New York.
