WASHINGTON, June "A telegram in the
New York Herald protesting to originate
with person enjoying intimate lations
with Chase, represents that Chase would
only accept the nomination when the ma
tion was in the utmost peril, and not then
at the sacrifice of his honest convictions.
He admits that the Radical party and him.
self differ widely, and as parties are now
organized be it with the Democratic party.
He differs from them only on one point,
that # universal manhood suffrage. He
agrees with them on all other great issues,
and if elected by shat party, would certain
y crazy out their policy.
He thinks the deplorable condition of
the Southern States demands proper Con-
gressional consideration, and also material
aid from the General Government; thinks
there is 10 constitutional authority. for
holding the Southern States ); that it is
alike uuwise and unjust, and favors enfran-
chisement and removed of political disabili- |
ties from every whte~man in the South.
He thinks freedom and manhood suffrage
are the unquestioned right of all, hut con-
troverts the idea that any other power than
that of the States can confer the right, the
general government having no control over
the matter He opposes the political dsa-
bilities imposed by the fourteenth article,
proposing general amnesty as a relief
Regards general amnesty as absolutely
necessary. Urges liberal aid to the South
ern Railroads and navigable rivers
Thinks the Government should build
levees from Cairo to the gulf Urges early
return to specie payments and condemns in
strong terms the trials of citizens by militia
ry commissions during peace.
He hopes that if johnson reorganizes
the cabinet he will appoint due proper
