date for The Presidency. These managers
contend that Judge Chase was originally a
Dcmocrat'cs the strictest school. and sece-
ded from tho partv on the abolition issue =:
but as that issue is no longer in existence.
he now occupies fair position to. be made
available IN the next Presidential contest.
Such i TIE talk among trosc who in grea;

very decided feeling is being created in
'aVor .! Jndge Chase as the nominee of
the Democratic party. lin the mean time
the Radicals are not backward in express
ing their distru7t Of him as the presiding
oihcer in the Court Of Impeachment, and
their fears are that he will yet s,oil their
game, and allow the President 10 escape.
There continues 10 I've a wide difference
of opinion IN all circles Of society here Is
TO tho probable result of the impeachment
trial. Man regard t.ic Presidents con-
v'ction as Il loregone conclusion, arguing
that the absolute demands. of party will
control the members of the court, while
others believe the case will be decided on
its merits, and that acquittal is certain.
The only point Of difference is as to the
virtue of the Senate. 1t will be for the,
senators themselves to decide the question.
The Senate announces to the country to-
day the important fact that there is to be
no extra charge tor reserved seats during
the Impeachment performances. But, ut

moth dead-hcad list, which excludes not
only negroes, but The unwsshcd masses of
the people. The proposition to exclude
the African Citizens met the approra! Of
even Senator Sumner, and the fact is de-
monstrated that there may be great State
occasions when New England recognizes a
distinction between coior3.
But the enormous free list established
by the Senate shuts out The sovereign
public, except these few who may be able
to stand the high figures which will re de-
mandcd for tickets by those spectators
who, getting these senatorial cards. into
their possession, will aim to make good
their losses on the Dickens readings. The
current price tonight Of seat to Senate
gallery is ten dollars, but what it may be
by noon on Friday next it is impossible TO
