people can be relieved without disturbing
the commerce ofthe country.
Up to this time, remarks the Union and
Dispatch, there is not the. same certainty
regarding Judge Chese's views. A few
months since, it would not, perhaps. have
been difficult to say. Doubtless, they
have been somewhat modified since but
there isa justifable. anxiety on the. part Of
those who are called to consider him an
aspirant Of he be such for. the Democratic
nomination. to know with reasonable. de-
gree OF exaotnoss, what they, are now.
A correspondence the New York Her
aid, writing from Richmond, represents
Judge Cbqse.as in a cbrysalis- state, Just
unfolding from the grub condition Of Rad
icalism into something else. What it is

On the suffrage question the Chief jus

He favored manhood suffrage as indipep-
sable for The protection Of labor, The weak
must be protected as well as the stong
and tbs least expensive mode Of protection
was by the ballot, Through the progress
Of civil rights and political equality this
could be done far easier and cheaper than
by standing armies, which would Otherwise
be required. He believes The southern
people had set to learn the value Oflabor, but
expressed a hope that with au early adjust
