CRY CHARTER.
There Is considerable excitement now raging
in regard to the continuance of the charter
for Washington City. Itexpires by lmita-
ton on the 1st of May next and two years
ago Senator Morrill,, then chairman of the
District Committee of the Senate, drafted q
Dill which provided for a resumption by Con-
Sress OF all powers of government over the
District of Columbia
There are now in addition to Congress four
district Jurisdictions over this little patch CT
ground and constant confusion and want of
harmony is the result Mr.. MorrlPs bill
aimed at abolishing these heterogeneous gov
ernments and imposing the whole task on
Congress, but owing to the pressure of public
business he failed 10 secure its passage. Now
the whole city is in an aproar about the mat
ter. The old residents, copperheads and F.
+. VS., are generally in favor of abolishing
the charter, because they can't think of the
humiliation Of "yoting with niggers," and
then too the Yankees and colored voters
have majority which is also humiliating.
Meetings are being held nightly to discuss
the matter and wordy resolutions are ground
out by the yard. There is probably no place
in America that has such morbid appetite
for public meetings as Washington. There
are more associations "clubs"" Conventions
and assemblies here than in any hall dozen
Northern cities of the same size and lest they
might have left some subject without its ap-
propriate representation they have recently
organized Free Discussion Club" proba-
bly, in imitation of those Greeks who erected
an altar 'to the unknown god". Newspaper
reporters have lively work TO furnish the ad-
miring public with the details of those inter
esting d.bates, but they usually manage to
do it even to the exclusion of something read.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE DEMOCRACY.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %, 1868.
To the Editor cf the Press:
Ridiculous as it may seem, there is really
serious movement on foot looking TO the
nomination of Chet Justice Chase by the
Democracy. When he addressed a ncte TO
the Senate, some ten days ago, making some
suggestions in relation to the rules adopted
by that body togovern the impeachment trial,
it was facetiously remarked by several Re-
pubicans that "it was bid for the Dem
ocratic nomination." and on the strength of
that very trivial occurrence they have been
attempting. by coaxing, .hattery and other ca
ioling tricks so well known to that party,
and so often practiced on the unwary, to pro-
duce rupture between Mr.. Chase and the
party with which he has always acted, in the
hope of capturing him and prevailing on him
to lead their iorlorn hope in the coming cam
paign. This was first seriously Eroached by
that high-toned and delectable sheet, the
New York Sun; and 1t has now found an
echo in the Constitutional Union of this city,
"hiSh 40 VIC OhiNSiodlAJ dNSlCNltSd NOOib VI
gan. In last Fridays issue, the subject is
discussed at length, and Mr.. Chase is declared
not only the most available candidate for the
Unterrified to rally under, but the somewhat
startling discovery is announced that he has
always been "a sound, conservative, constitu-
tional Democrat'-if anybody knows what all
those epithets mean. Mr.. Chase's history as
an original Abolitionist is too well known to
suffer from the Misrepresentation and abuse
of Tom Florence, and his appearance on a
Democratic platform would be about as awll-
ward and ridiculous as the angel Gabriel
would in leading free fight at Donnybrook
Fair. Whatever amount of flattering JUNCTION
they may have laid to their souls on account
of that letter of Mr. Chasa's is sure 10 be
wasted, and their warm hopes Of disaf'ection
on his part are doomed to be nipped in the
bud. Nobody but q simon-pure, case-harden-
ed, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat can stand n
nomination on that platform, and such one
is not Mr.. Chase.
MR.. sTANToNs PRECAUTIONS.
The Copperhead press all over the country
for the past ten days have been ridiculing
what they call Mr.. Stanton's timidity because
he thought tprudent to make new dispose
tlons of some of the troops stationed in the
District. These warlike movements have
been greatly magnified-the simple TACT oeli's
that some three hundred soldiers were oruer-
ed in from one of the forts and temporarily
encamped in the city. If the papers which
make these statements and affect to treat
with ridicule knew more about the compost
t,on of this community and the hundreds of
