OUR OWN opINIoN

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
which is one of that small number of repub.
ican journals that are trying to save radi-
calism from being held q Che synonym Of
indecency and outrage, takes, as VIM be
seen by the following paragraph from that
paper, the same view we have Of the brutalf
ty and old-time' barbarism, which refuses to
give up to the prayers of relatives thesre-
mains of persons who have been executed:
The idea of furnishing crime by inaicting
indignities upon the dead body of the Grim
inal is one that belongs to barbarous state
of society. The bodies of the conspirators
against the life of President Lincoln are to
be removed from the arsenal grounds at
Washington, and Edwin Booth has applied
for the remains of his brother, J. Wilkes
Booth, pleading earnestly that il VIII be
great satisfaction to his mother to inter them
beside those of her father before she dies
The request has been denied. The daugh.
ter of Mrs. Surratt has made several ineffec-
tual attempts to obtain the remains of her
mother, that she may bury them in what she
considers eonsecrated ground. Who is it at
Washington that is responsible for this indie
cent and brutal conduct? 1t disgraces us as
a civilized and christian nation.

WE'D On CHASE.

Chief Justice Chase IS openly candidate
for the presidency, and his supporters are
pitching into Grant very severely. In re-
turn he acatches it, Is follows from Thurlow
Weed, supporter of Grant:
Mr.. Chase, SAYS. one ofhis apologists, sis
to-day a poorer man than when governor of
Ohio If there be any political marines
about, tell this story to them !!
IS Governor Sprague, bis son.in-law, "never
made dollar by any favor from him as
secretary of the treasury" More than hall
of Governor Sprague's republican friends
tell different story. zs-rs
Mr.. Chase, as secretary of the treasury,
twas very hard and stringent In his dealings
with Jay Cooked" Democratic .secretar RES
of the treasury were ''very hard and string
-eat" in their dealings with Mr.. Corcoran,
before the rebellion, so "hard and stringent
that Mr.. Corcoran only made three or four
millions of dollars as treasury broker. But
Mr.. Corcoran had the manipulation only oil
hundreds of thousands of treasury bonds,
while jay Cooke & Co. negotiated them by
thousands of millions. Jay Cooke Il Co.
divided profits with whom We know not; but
that they did so divide, we have reliable
evidence. .y.e q .laES
That Mr.. Chase made what capital he
could by protesting "morhid economy" is
probable. He was running for president
then as now. We remember that in the
outbreak of the war, when Governor Seward
urged call for 100000 troops, Mr.. Chase
had the number. cut down to $4,000, i'm
meediately after which the radicals, represent
ed Governor s. as being ':timida ''hold
ing back zasf.r a. ,Eag.Es
But while Mr. Chase was affecting economy
Jay Cooke, Governor Sprague, and Other
friends of the secretary of the treasury were
making large fortunes, upon the strength o
which he is now running for president
though in accepting the office of chief justice
he virtually withdrew from political life
He is the first chief Justice of the supreme
court Of the United States who has descend
ed from the bench to canvass, manage, huck
| ster, and higgle, with white and black, from
Charleston to Saratoga, fer himself as candi
date for president. If the people are no
insensible to self-respect, it will be the las
| time the ermine of chief justice will draggl
in the dirt of politics.
Meantime what amount OF income doe
Mr.. Chase return? This is a fair question
Incomes are published everywhere. Why i
there any concealment In this case.

Mexican Names.

AS Spanish is the written language of
Mexico. the names of all the places and men
of that country are written or spelled accor-
ding to the rules of the Spanish alphabet.--
An 1he Spanish, and especially the Mexican
names, are very smooth and euphonious
when properly pronounced but as we hear
them spoken By those Who persist in pro-
louneing them by the English alphabet in
its Yankee infection, they are terrific. We
win be excused, therefore, if we give few
rules for reading Mexican names, for the
benefit of the young readerr, at least.
The Spanish alphabet has but five vowels,
Y and ! being practically regarded as one
letter-the sounds ofwhich are q as in ear,
E like in hay, / like ee in see, o as in hope, u
like 90 in boot. There are no dipthongs !;
and each vowel constitutes separate sylla-
BILE in all situations. These vowels are
uttered with prolonged sound, Or, rather,
not shortened, as We do with 1 in pin, but
our ee Their eonsonants are pretty nearly
the same as ours except c, which, Before e
and i, is pronounced like our til in thin ; H.,
which is always silent J, which is as near
our III as we can get it, with a slight gutter
al addition III, sounding like Ii or ly; y,
which, at the beginning of words, now has a
deep gutteral sound, as we would make by
combining yh, and q, which is properly pro-
nodnced til, though custom is gradually set
Ting upon the sound of our z. 1t is the
practice with the Spanish scholars to change
the spelling as the sound of a letter changes.
For this reason they now spell. Mexico Nee
co, and Texas TEXAS, the &C aneiently being
sounded as they now sound it at the begin
| ming of a word. -r
BY obeying these rules we can pronounce
| any of the Mexican names with ease and a
| tolerable approach to elegance. 1t is true
| that every reade: is not expected to pro,
nounee all foreign words, but there is gen.
| eral acquaintance and familiarity with for
| eign names and phrases expected of every
one of fair education, the want of which is
not excusable on the ground of our only
reading English. We ought, therefore, to
learn at least how to pronounce the names
belonging to the American continent-the
world ofrepublics. The following examples
may assist in applying the rules

The rule of accent in Spanish is, if the
word end with consonant the accent is on
the last syllable if it ends with a vowel,
the last syllable but one has the accent
Exceptions to this rule are marked in print
ing. The letter ~, with curve over it, is
pronounced as if it had q after it, as can[yl-
on, deep ravine. The Spanish is written
on phonetic principles, so that any word can
be pronounced with little practice, for
which the daily news gives fair opportuni-
ty.

years ago the leader Of the House had not a

to their feet in indignant protest against it.

Jury trial, to defy the authority of the Supreme
Court, to subordinate courts of law to the arbl-
