DemOeratIc AdyOcacy of Chase.

We publish this morning a noticea-
Die article from the Cannelton Re
porter, on Chief Justice CHASE as the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. tits understood to be written
by Hon. HAMILTON SMITH, Of Can
Melton, class-mate of Judge CHASE
in college and a personal friend Mr..
SMITH is a gentleman of acknowledged
ability aud high standing in the
Democratic party of Indiana. Some
Of the statements made by him
in advocacy Of CHASE as the Demo-
cratic candidate are quite significant
He acknowledges that the anti-slavery
principles, Of which CHASE has for
thirty years been one of the fore
most champions, are now sustained
by the vast majority of the people
Of the country. Mr.. SMITH exalts
the financial policy of the war,
and says that more timid faan-
cial policy would have paralyzed our
armies and destroyed the integrity Of
the Government" He comedies that
the nomination aud election of the
Chief Justice could not be claimed as
a Democratic triumph, but in this
crisis of our nation. he plainly indi-
Gates that it is the best thing left for
that party.
a little while ago the Democratic
project was to take advantage of the
detection among the Republican SEN
&-oss and organize third party move
nent, with Judge CHASE as the can
didate for the Presidency. But the
harmony and enthusiasm attending
the National Convention at Chicago
has dissipated any hope Of success
Tor such movement. The RepHbi-
can party of to-day stands before the
country more united in its principles
and candidates than at any previous
campaign in its history. The only
hope now for the Democracy, 50 its
leaders think, is to take up some ex-
IRENE anti slavery man like CHASE.
with the expectation of dividing the
negro vote-Of the South, and. as Mr..
SMITH expresses it, drawing to their
candidate a sufficient number of Re
puUlicans to insure, if not a party
triumph, a defeat Of the Republican
ticket. The advocacy Of CHASE by
the Democracy is an apparent confess
ion Of their inability 10 carry the
election. Il IS a public acknOwledg
meut Of their weakness, which can
net fail to have a very dispiriting ef-
-ect upon the masses OF the party.

TELEGRAPH LINE.-The RockpOrt
journal and some other papers are
agitatiug the proposition Of building
a telegraph line from Evansville via
Newburgh, Boonville, Rockport and
Grandview TO CanDelton
The line, it is said, can be built for
about four thousand dollars.
The proposed line would certainly
be Of great advantage and convenience
TO the people along the route, and we
think there would be little trouble IN
getting the necessary amount Of
money subscribed to build it if some
one. properly authorized, should un-
dertake it.
We have talked with several of the
business men Of this place who have
expressed themselves favorably to-
ward the enterprise, and promise to
give literally if it is undertaken
Let those who have taken the lead
in this matter, adopt plan Of opera
ton. aud begin the work There will,
we think, be little trouble in making
it successful.-NeUJHrg Herald.

ANOTHER Coon SPEECH FROM
GRANT. - Grant and Colfax we're
serenaded in Washington on Friday
night, and responded. Grant made
a good speech, short, crisp and clear.
He told his hearers that he had no
desire to cultivate the power to talk
In public; and if he be elected this is
a guarantee that he will never be
caught swinging around the circle.
He said a wise, sound, and admirably
poised thing when hc declared that

Let him keep that course. - NJ T.
