WASHINGTON. Oct. 3O-Chief Justice Chase. in
conversation with II prominent gentleman on Thurs
day last, said he should not vote at the Presidential
election. as in the present condition of affairs he
considered it his duty to remain neutral. 1t was
his firm belief that General Grant would be elected.
The vital question at issue in this campaign was
that Of reconstruction in the Southern States upon
the question of tariff be believed the Democratic
theory correct, and i'll time it would prove so. He
prophesied that General Grants election would
inevitably result in the disruption and disorganiza-
ton of the Republican party, ont of which would
spring a party that would meet the living issues
squarely before Grant had been President one
year. Chase expected to see one-half of the House
of Representatives arrayed against whatever
Grants policy may be.

The Cretan Refugees In Greece-Oficial
Correspondence Of the Greek Minister.

The Cretan Refugees In Grcece-O6icia1
Correspondence Of the Greek Minister.
We publish in another part Of the paper the
official correspondence of the government OF
Greece with regard to the charges of the Turk
ish government that the refugee Cretans were
hindered from returning to Crete by the Greeks.
1t will be remembered that we published
recently certain Turkish official documents
with reference to the fight of Cretans to
Greece and containing the charges referred
to against the Greek government. 1t was said
that the refugee Cretans in Greece were anx-
ious to return to Crete, but were prevented by
the Greek government. The direct and official
denial now published that either the Cretans
desired to return or were In any wsy hindered
from doing so by the Greek government sets
this matter at rest. The truth is, the Turkish
officials are over sensitive about Greek sympa-
thy for the Cretans and look at everything relat-
ing to Greece and the Cretans with distorted
vision Mohammedan rule over the Christians
of Eastern Europe is one Of the greatest anom-
allies of this enlightened and progressive age and
would have terminated some time ago had not
the supposed political necessity of maintaining
the integrity of the Ottoman empire prevented,
or had the great European Powers been able to
agree upon partition Of the effects Of tho
''sick man." Considering this gross anomaly
and the natural sympathy of the Greeks for
their co-religionists, the Cretans, it seems from
the correspondence referred to that the Greek
government has acted with considerable mode
ration.

Seven days ago the law imposing tax on
the city railroads of one-eighth of cent for
each passenger went out of operation. 1t is
pretty well known that the railroad companies,
on the pretext of having to pay this tax,
charged every passenger an extra cent upon
the fare which they were entitled to charge by
law, thus pocketing seven-eighths of cent
upon each fare, which was q plain swindle
upon the public. We have not heard that the
fare has been reduced to five cents since the
tax was removed nor do we expect 1t will be
until the public resist the extortion and try the
question in the courts How much longer we
are TO submit to the grievances imposed upon
us In various forms by the railroad companies
Il is hard to tell; but there is a very palpable
mode of relief, and that is by the Legislature
empowering the Corporation to impose upon
the companies a tax Of one cent for every pas
sengcr carried. This would give large sum
annually to the city treasury, and In this way
would indirectly relieve the travelling public
The Legislature should do this at once, and
then the companies might retain the charge of
six cents, If they please, for the balance would
20 to the people. But even then the rate Of
fare would be too high. There can be no
doubt that If the city government had the
management of the street railroads In their
hands they could carry passengers for three
cents and make It pay. The Fourth, Sixth
and Eighth avenue roads now pay very large
! dividends, and there is. perhaps. not one Of the

The Elections In Conuecticut and Michigan
Dcfcnt OF tho Radicals.

Auo A@ScCatphS ~ S~~"sSs~-~ - "~'--sS~
Dcfeni OF tho Radicals.
Contrary to the confident expectations Of the
radicals, the election held in Connecticut yes
terday resulted in decisive victory for the
conservative party. Governor James Il. Eng
lish and the remainder of the State ticket
were elected by an increased majority. 1t
is not yet known what party has carried
the Legislature, which will elect a United
States Senator in place of Mr.. Dixon.
The vote was evidently the largest ever cast in
the State, and, considering the apathy Of the
democrats during the campaign, the result is
most gratifying to all true lovers Of constitu-
tional liberty. BY the election held yesterday
Connecticut has declared herself unalterably
opposed to the revolutionary measures of Con-
gress; and as even the popular name of Gene
raj Grant failed to aid the radicals we may
regard the result as the beginning of the end
of radical misgovernment and despotism.
In Michigan vote was taken on the new
constitution, and the reports indicate that that
instrument has been rejected by decided ma
jority. Excepting the clause giving the ne
groes the right to vote, this fundamental law
was an excellent one. And here the radicals
have again suffered demoralizing defeat.
The people of Michigan, who gave the republi-
can ticket a majority of over twenty nine
thousand in 1866, will not accept the policy of
universal negro suffrage. 1t cannot be asserted
that the prohibition" clause operated against
the constitution, for it was submitted sepa-
rately, and the vote in it's favor runs ahead.
Altogether the elections yesterday were impor-
tant and suggestive.

General PardOn-A Chance for Fcason.
The papers are making great amount Of
fuss just now over Governor Fenton's pardons
and refusals to pardon, and the people are
getting at some very curious facts in regard to
the manner in which this power is welded
by the Executive Of the State. The difficulty
has its origin in the case of young Kctchum,
whose friends, having up to this time failed to
procure a remission of his sentence, are over
hauling the prison records in order to show
that the constitutional privilege Of the Cover
nor has not always been as cautiously exer-
cised as in this particular instance. We hear
on one side of combinations of the Wall street
aristooracy which have been unable to move
the heart of the Executive, and on the other of
combinations of burglars, swindlers, highway
men and ruffians of various grades, which have
been remarkably successful in opening the
prison doors and letting loose the worst classes
of convicts to renew their depredations and
outrages on society.
The developments that have been made show
q very bad state of affairs and deplorable
eccentricity in the exercise of Executive clem-
ency for the past two or three years. Indeed, it
stances, 1t is worth while to squander the
peoples money any longer In the salaries of
judges, the pay Of officers and the general ex
penses of criminal courts in order to convict the
violators of law. The best policy that can be pur
sued is to 20 back to the original condition of
society as more in harmony with the spirit Of
the age, to throw open all the prisons in the
State and suffer their inmates TO 90 forth and
enjoy liberty aud license. Governor Fenton
should issue a general pardon to all offenders
and full indemnity for all crimes, whether
those committing them have been brought to
so-called justice or have succeeded in getting
clear of the troublesome meshes of the law.
He should signalize the closing months of his
term of Office by the release of all convicted
thieves and the indemnifcation of all uncon-
victed thieves, so that their former crimes can
never again be brought up in Judgment against
them. His act of oblivion might extend to oil
cases Of fraud corruption and bribery in the
Legislature or in any other public body or
department, which would cover q quantity Of
plumber larger in amount than all that has
been stolen by the whole crowd Of forgers,
burglars, highwaymen, swindlers and pick
pockets now confined in the several prisons
and jails throughout the State, and would put
a stop to all unpleasant rumors and insinua-
tions in regard to the considerations that are
alleged to have influenced special pardons.
Such broad, liberal and impartial course
would satisfy the people, and the proposition
cannot fail to commend itself to the acknow-
lodged charitable and sympathizing nature OF
Governor Fenton.

city roads, except the Second avenue, that Is

By levying such tax as we suggest the city
of Baltimore raised funds enough to construct
the fine Druids Hill Park. Why should MOTIVE
raise fund sufficient at least to keep our
streets clean and give us one or two good
boulevards? The city railroad companies can
well afford to pay the tax and make plenty of
money besides. We hope, therefore, that the
city government to collect one cent from these
roads for every passenger they carry.
Grant and Buficr-A Truce, but No Peace.
It is reported that Grant and Butler have
settled their old difficulties, shaken hands and
agreed to be good friends and comrades in the
future. This statement requires to be taken
with many grains Of allowance; for the differ
ences between the hero of the Appomattox and
the hero of Big Bethel are too wide to be per-
manently bridged over. That temporary
cessation of hostilities has been agreed upon,
now that they are both hunting on the same
trail, is very probable; but their reconciliation
is like that effected between two shrewish fe-
males when one of them lay seriously ill:-"I
forgive you, Mary Jane," said the invalid,
"because am in dangerous condition; but
if recover, mind, the old grudge holds good.
In the radical policy of impeachment Butler
has made himself prominent leader and is
power in Israel 1t is necessary that his in-
Auence should be recognized by the candidate
of the republican party, whose chances of sue
cess arc by no means enhanced by the revolu-
tionary course of the radicals, and who needs
all the aid that can be afforded him through
the boldness and unscrupulousness of the
Jacobn faction. But the election safely over,
the old grudge will hold good. Grant has said
too many hard and true things of Butler, who
managed to "bottle up" his troops at Bermuda
Hundred, and Butler has retorted with too
many severe reflections upon different sort
of "bottling up" on the part Of the General Of
the Army to admit of permanent peace be-
tween them.
Besides, Grant is an honest man, naturally
opposed to trickery of all kinds, and with GER
tain strict soldierly notions as to the laws Of
sneuns and tuuna. Butler, on the other hand,
is bitter hater who never forgets or forgives
an injury, and Grant has burned into him
brand which he can never efface. The reno
val of Johnson is gratifying to Butler mainly
as means of orippling and Furnishing Grant,
whose nomination is beyond the power Of the
radicals to defeat. truce between such
men must necessarily be Of short duration,
and will be succeeded by yet aercer hostilties.
Grant must be careful and watchful, however,
or before he gets rid of Butler again and ex-
pels him from his household he may find all
the most valuable spoons and forks Of the
Presidential Office missing.
