CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE ON THE 20.
LITICAL SITUATION.

Correspondence of the New York Herald.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The following
confidential letter from Chief Justice Chase
to a personal friend has been handed to
me. Itso distinctly marks the present pc.
silion and sentiments of Mr.. Chase on i'm
portant political questions, that | do not
feel at liberty TO withhold its publication:
WASHINGTON, May %, 1S6S.-MY DEAR
SIR :-You are right in Believing that |
"shall never abandon the great principles
for the success Of which | have given my
entire life" | adhere TO my cold creed of
equal rights," without one iot or title Of
abatement. | shall be glad if the new pro-
fessors OF that creed adhere TO il as faith
fully. ~. s.. e..
am amazed by the torrent Of invectiyes
by which | am drenched. Almost every
thing alleged az fact is falsehOod out OF the
whole cloth. Where an allegation has A
little fact in it, the fact is 40 perverted and
travestied that it becomes falsehood.
know no motive for all this except disap-
pointment that impeachment has not thus
far proved s success, coupled with belief
that / have done something TO prevent its
being success / have not been parti-
san of Impeachment certainly but have
not been partisan on the other side. As
presiding officer over the trial, my con-
science test;fies that | have been strictly
impartial; and am sure that any one who
reads the report will say So Individually
l have my convictions and opinions, but
have very seldom given utterance to them.
Indeed, do not think that the case, in any
of its aspects, has been the subject Of con-
yersatiou between myself aud more than
four or i've Senators, and then only easu-
ally and briefly. No Senator will say that
/ have soughtt influence him. p
The real ground Of denunciation is that
l have not been a partisan of CONVICTION
and this denunciation am willing 10 bear.
They may denounceand abuse me and read
me out of the party if they choose. | fol- |
low my old lights, not the new.
What the Developments of the future |
may be / know not. ] neither expect nor |
desire to be candidate for Office again. Ii |
would, however, crafty nae exceedingly if |
he Democratic arty would take grcnnd
which would assure the party against all
attempts 20 subvert The principle OF uni
7ersal suffrage established, in eight, 70 be
,stablished in ali CT the Southern eonstitus
ions. Then, thiak, The Ifuiare Of the
.reat eause-ior which have labored 40
ongA would be secure, and L should not
eeret. any absence from political labors.

WAsH1NdToN, May 10.-Major General
Mead arrived here to-day, on business with
the affairs of his military District. =
The Conservative members of the two
boards of the Washington city council met
in Joint session this evening, and were en-
outraged in their proceedings by the APP
pearance of the Republican Alderman Of
the First ward, who claimed thatthe Board
of which be was member was not prop
erly organized, therefore, he took his seat
among the Conservatives. The committee,
heretofore appointed reported that they
we're still unable TO obtain the returns from
the Republican Register, IN order to count
them, so as to determine, who is elected
Mayor. Under these circumstances they
offered a resolution which was adopted,
that the joint meeting adjourn ill to-mor-
row afternoon for the purpose Of electing
Mayor, ad interim. Y. - = ...e.., r.. =.

Gen Grant was then convinced that he
possessed noqualifcations for the Presi.
dency and be frankly told his confden-
tial friend so. But the Radical syrens
have whispered in his ear the story of
tbs Presidency Of this great republic,
with its all but legal power, until the
Generals ambition has been aroused and
he now seeks to grasp the highest Office
within the gift Of the people. This
short speech shows the vanity Of the
man, and how he has been spoiled by the
attentions Of Radical politicians, who see
no hope for their party unless Grants
supposed military popularity will turn
the tide in their favor. He declares most
emphatically that he would never shape
a sentiment or the expression of a
thought, with view of being a candi-
date for office; )" yet scarcely four years
had elapsed before he was not only
shaping sentiment and expressing
thought, but using the whole power
of his Office to aid the Radical
party and secure his nomination as the
candidate for that party for President
In this self-same short speech Gen
Grant declared that he had no fright tC
criticise the policy or orders Of those
above" him, but TO crafty the Radical!
who use him for. the, advancement o
their ends, he forgets this declaration
ana took very bold and defiant issue
with his superior, the President, and alb
solutely falsifed his word to, that officer
in the performance of the task imposed
upon him by the Radicals who own anC
control him as the master does his slave
These short speeches" reflect any
thing but credit upon Gen. Grant, and i
should not perhaps excite wonder tina
Radical organs keep them, especially the
| first, from their readers Fl.. 'h

OPENING or BAYOU TANCmAC.

A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce Of Mobile, Ala, and st Louis,
Mo, arrived in the city yesterday, for
the purpose Of comforting with the
Chamber Of Commerce Of this city, and
citizens generally upon steps to promote
an important project now being agitated,
and one deeply concerning the commers
cial interests Of the whole Western and
Southwestern countryside opening sof
Bayou Manchac a-
The route proposed to be opened is
from the Mississippi, at Manchae, about
twelve miles below Baton Rouge the
point where the high land ceases and
the alluyial land commences. The Bayou
Manchac leaves the Mississippi, runs
eastwardly, say twenty-five miles, and
falls into the Annie river Following
down the Amite river about forty miles
we reach Lake Maurepas Passing
through Lake Maurepas we pass into
pass Crossing lake Pontchartaiu, aud
Sassing through the Bigolets into Lake
Borgnc and the Mississippi Sound, by an
inland navigation, we reach the Bay Of
Mobile. The whole distance from the
Mississippi, along this route, is about two
hundred and City miles -. ~
h was natural and open channel
before the war of 1872 In December,
1913, it was closed by General Jackson
by building leyeo at its JUNCTION with
the Mississippi as military measure,
to prevent the British boats from passing
INTO the river to attack New Orleans from
above, II was the bounden duty. Of the
government, as it is contended, to open
it again after the exigeney ceased, but it
never was done Vessels passed through
before, and a course of trade was at that
time setting in this channel
The object Of this movement is to ex-
plain the necessity and advantages Of re-
opening this channel, and creating a

THE following is an extract from the
special telegraphic dispatch from this
city to the Cincinnati Gazette
Four-ffths of the convention were in
favor of Pendleton. The ablest speeches
of the day were made in his favor. The
resolution was on all sides most vigorously
denounced. Not a single person spoke IN
favor of it as itstood, yet by dint-of sheer
management by the Chair, the opposition
was at last worried7out, and the A. j. Feso-
luton was adopted with the rest. -. ~
Motions TO reconsider were all made to
fail by Mr. CooPer's dexterity, and about
shutdown the whole series of resolutions
were declared adopted. -t III -l
There is error in this SO far as it states
that there was any feature Of the resolu-
ton denounced, except that portion
which was susceptible of the construc-
ton that the delegation was instructed to
do anything more than compliment Mr..
johnson with vote, in the event his
name was offered and even this was not
denounced 1t was opposed because it
did not express the wish Of the four
fiGths Of the convention who favored
the nomination of PendletOn, but who
did not urge for Instructions to that
effect, and wanted no language used that
might appear ike Instructions for
another
