ern oligarchy, forgot his pledges Of neutrality
and became an active slavery propagandist
in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The disruption and dissolution of the old demo-
cratic party began from that hour, and it began
in New York. The crime of that act is written
in all the horrors of the late Southern rebellion,
and the blunder Is recorded in every demo-
cratic defeat from that day to this. But the
elections of 1867 brought some CLEANS ofdemo-
cratic daylight. New York, indeed, with her
fifty thousand democratic majority, came up
with blaze of sunshine. In behalf Of this
majority her leading democratic statesmen and
politicians and the rank and file Of the party
ask for the nomination of Mr.. Chase. Twenty
years ago, in New York and in the Van Buren
free soil movement, as we have shown, he laid
the foundations of the presentre republican party.
That work is done, and to-day, on the new
constitutional foundation of universal liberty
and civil equality, Mr.. Chase is free, and he is
needed to reconstruct the democratic party.
On the basis of the new constitutional amend
ment, which may be regarded fixed fact, he
can restore the democracy to power. On any
other tack and with any other candidate they
are gone.
Our past elections show that New York is q
progressive State and is a power in the land.
Her vote secured is a good basis to build
upon-her vote lost is the loss of the battle to
the democracy. If they would secure it from
the start Chase is their man, and the recogni-
ton of the anti-slavery deluge and its changes
is their platform

way we are governed. The committee system,
first adopted to facilitate business, is now the
excuse of Congress for abdicating its functions
AID is gigantic vice, while by far the worst
part of it is that referred to in the sentence
given above. That Mr.. Chase is opposed to
this system, and that he will probably, If
chosen President, initiate some steps for its
change, will be regarded as the strongest
thing yet said on his behalf as candidate by
all those who desire to see stayed the steadily
downward progress of the nation in all the
evile of corruption.

Chase and the Reform Of Abuses In the
Government.
Mr.. Chase els opposed to the appointment
by Congress Of expensive committees to sit
during the recess, on the ground that Congress
has no power to delegate its authority to indi-
viduals." There Is, perhaps, no other single
fact that is the cause and the means Of 30 much
evil in our government as this one abuse 1t
goes so far and so deep that we may broadly
say the country is not governed by Congress
at all. Congress, recognized in the constitution
as the sole lawmaking power, has abdicated its
Office; and while that body wastes it's time in
jabbering and cackling over party disputes the
business Of session Is either not dcne at all
or it is turned over to committees is, the
power given by the nation to Congress- is by
Congress given again to . coteriesof two or
three men, very eager to serve tho people in
that way because in 80 doing they serve them
selves. This usage is the parent of johbery-
for it is in these committees that the jobbers
make their bargain for the enactment Of q
given law. Every committee becomes the
organ in Congress Of some outside ring. Ir
committee project is reviewed in the hght
that the ring can give for or against IL. Ir
committee the money is spent, and that is ths
scene Of all the bribery that eats away the very
vitality Of our system. II would be an i'm
practicable thing for any corporation to 60 Il
Washington and corrupt whole Congress
but when two or three members have exclu
sive charge Of the subject the corporation
is interested in Its field Of operations is mar
rowed to practical point, and having only h
buy up or convince the two or three mem
bers IL goes forward with all possible facility
The committee makes its arrangements an
presents Its bill to Congress, and, being pre-
sented as party measure, the bill passes O
members vote for II in a spirit of comfy I

Chief Justice Chase and the South.

Although every Southerner Is hostile to negro
suffrage in any shape, and objects to any can
didate who supports that measure as matter
Of principle, yet we find growing tendency
among the masses of the conservatives in the
South to take reasonable view of the political
situation, and if they find that the evil COM
planned of is to be forced upon them whether
they will or no, to make the most of their help
less condition and turn the negro vote as far
as possible to their own interests and advan-
tage. The movement in favor of Chief Justice
Chase, who is said to represent this principle,
meets opposition from extreme men in the
South; but the more considerate take diff
belief that Mr.. Chase is of all men named for
the democratic nomination the best calculated
to carry with him the bulk of the Southern
negro vote. This being conceded, his nomina-
ton is considered advisable for another and
very important reason. With Chase as the cam
could be carried for the democrats which
would otherwise inevitably elect radicals.
This consideration must not for q moment be
lost sight Of if the democrats are sincere in
their opposition to the radicals who now COM
mand Congress and are endeavoring to usurp
the powers Of every department in the govern
ment. The letter we publish to-day from Mr..
G. G. Langdon, touching the policy of nomi-
mating Judge Chase, u.s. no doubt, very candid
and reliable expression of the views of the
leading men in the South who oppose his
nomination.. But we are inclined to think that
the letter of inquiry which drew forth this reply
from Mr.. Langdon strikes the keynote of the
sentiment of the masses of the Southern con-
servatives, and that is in favor of the nomifa
ton of any man who is capable of defeating
Grant and the radicals, with the belief that
Judge Chase is that man, and the only one.
eff Chase is not run we are badly whipped"
is, beyond doubt, prophecy the democracy will
see fulfilled next November unless they choose
Chase as their standard bearer. But New
York started the movement, and she will see
that it is triumphant.

selves involved in another litigious warfare
yesterday by the issue Of more injunctions

Barnard, restrains Mr.. Eldridge, the President,

another, issued by Judge Ingraham, restrains
the board from filling any vacancies caused

THE. New LOUISIANA LEGISLATURES.
State of Louisiana was blessed yesterday
with Legislature, the first she has had for q
long time. A negro man presided, as Lieu
tenant Governor, over the Senate, and another
negro was elected temporary chairman of the
House. The proceedings in both houses COM
menced with an unusually interesting muddle,
for which General Grant is in great part re-
sponsible. His order suggesting a modiHca-
ton Of the oath Of Office was read, and both
the colored presiding officers treated it with
profound contempt averring that the test
oath prescribed by Congress should alone
rule. As this would leave many of the
democratic members out in the cold an appeal
was taken in the Senate, but the shrewd
Lieutenant Governor decided that until they
took the test oath they could take no appeals
nor make any motions. A similar ruling pre-
vailed in the House, and the two branches were
finally organized, the majority Of the demo-
cratic members Withdrawing It would be
well for General Grant while scouting around
on his Western tour to take New Orleans in on
his route and set himself right with these
radical voters in the Legislature.

The New Appointment to Austria.

Since the compulsory retirement of Mr..
Motley as our Minister at Vienna President
johnson has found this mission a very difficult
place to fill. After several other failures he
tried Mr.. H. J. Raymond, but Raymond had
made speech before the Philadelphia johnson
Convention of 1866, and that laid him upon
the table. Next radical of many vagaries
but great admirer of ''Old Ben Wade" was
proposed with the nomination Of Horace
Greeley. He was acceptable, and YVES con-
irmed; but Greeley, because the question of
diplomatic coats and breeches bothered him,
or because the mileage question had not been
settled, or for some other reason or reasons
Of not much consequence, fatty declined the
honor. Mr.. S. S. Cox, commonly called
Sunset Cox, regular democrat, late Of Ohio,
but now, it is said, an aspirant for Congress
from one of the districts Of this city, was next
proposed; but Cox had stumped Ohio against
''Old Ben," and so Cox was rejected. Still
desirous of filling this important position to the
satisfaction of the Senate, the President at last
sends up the name of Collector Smythe, and it is
thought this nomination will be confirmed. We
are not informed Of any good reason why it
should not be. Mr.. Smythe is gentleman
and scholar, a man of polished manners and
good requirements He has proved an excel
lent Collector of this most important port, this
commercial centre and settling house of the
Continent for through the closest and minutest
investigations of his accounts he has passed
without scratch. The Senate, in the prompt
and magnanimous confirmation of Mr.. Reverdy
johnson as Minister to England, has shown
that when it is in the mood it can do graceful
thing in graceful way. The confirmation of
Mr. Smythe would, in this view, be in keeping
with the confirmation of Mr.. Johnson Our
worthy Collector has been no trading partisan
in his office; he has been no mischief making
politician at any time. Between the President
and the Senate it was because he was no
politician that he was appointed and confirmed
as Collector. 1t is because he has been no
trading partisan that the party politicians,
right and left, have been pursuing him. His
record is clear, his official reputation without
a blemish and his personal character and
qualifications render him good nomination
for this Austrian mission, and so we hope he
will be confirmed.
