Chief Justice Chase and the Presidency

According to the Washington correspond
cnt Of the Cincinnati Gazette says the Cincn-
nati Enquirer. Chief Justice Chase is willing TO
allow his name TO be used as 4 Peoples Con-
sevativc candidate" for President against
General Grant. The Gd=stte correspondent
proceeds to state that last week delegI tion
of Pennsylvania Conservatives, among whom
WAS John Wclch and Assessor Frazier, had an
Interview with Mr.. Chase. They urged him
to accept Conservative Presidential nomina-
ton. Mr. Chase after declaring that his po-
Sition, As Chief Justice, forbid him from en-
tcring into politics, nevertheless added:
But, Chief Justice aS am. feel am the
servant OF the people and.should they call me
10 preside for four years over the destiny of
our country, doubtless would feel it my duty
to comply. Understand me. | am no candidate
for the oice-an Office that at best is any
thing but agreeable, and one that at present
Is especially vcNatious and annoying
After some more remarks from the COM
mittec, the Chief Justice Is represented as
saying:
Although not desiring the Presidencv.yct,
if the people called him to serve them in Il
higher and more arduous sphere, he would
doubtless comply. He felt that perhaps no
man more deeply deplored the condition of
the country. and if there was any thing he
could do to restore confidence. to bring peace
with all its blessings, and calm the passions
OF the people. that he would freely do it."
