Mr.. CHASE AND TIE PRESIDENCY -" Mack"
writes to the Cincinnati Commercial from
Washington on the 2lst inst as follows:
Something has been said recently about
nominating Mr.. Chase on such u platform Is
would secure the support OF the Democratic
party; but believe that idea has been aban-
doned from lack of support from Mr.. Chase
himself, who is not Presidential candidate,
though he would like very much to be Presi-
dent. There j. not the least doubt that if the
Democrats would give their support to Mr..
Chase he would carry every Northern State.
or very nearly every one. But the project is
a visionary one, viewed in the light of party
ties and party p'ejudices. Mr.. Chase neither
asks nor expects the Democratic party to sup
port him, however gratiied he might be to see
them do so. Nor is it much of secret i'm
Washington that Is between Grant and Wade
and Pendleton and whoever else may be NOM
mated at New York, Mr.. Chase's performances
will not be for the former. lie would be much
less human and more divine than men gener-
ally are in this world If he were inclined to
give his influence or his support to men who
have done their best to SANDER and malgn
hm in the exercise of his highest judicial
| functions. and to bring diScredit OH him as
n man because he acted uprightly and con-
scentiously as a Judge. So it need not as
| tonish any one To find many of Mr.. Chases
warmest personal friends actively aud earn
estly supporting the Democratic nominees
next fall.

AftaJ twenty years.experience In the manutac-
cure Of stoves, We became convinced some six
years since, that vast amount OF money was
being expended by the people of this county, In
buying cheap and almost worthless stoves, large
portion OF which was wasted, and that true
economy consisted in buving tho best stoves that
could DO made, notwithstanding tho price was
higher. With this view We proceeded to cen;
struct the American Cooking Stove, and spared
no palms or expense to make 1t the best and mosl
perfect stove that could be made And We have
experimental with It and carefully watched It's
operation ter the Inst ak years, and when an I'm

To Messrs. Traber & Auber, Cincin-
natl, Ohio. .t.,.,
Endorsed by John Frazee and Hen
ry Reynolds.
The above is an exact copy of a
draft that was drawn while Henry
Reynolds was Treasurer, aud laid in
the County Treasury more than a
year as cash, while in reality the cash
was out oil private speculation. Du-
Sing the time this draft laid in the
Treasury two or more settlements
were made, and Mr.. Reynolds Dem
ocratic friends counted II as cash, not
withstanding it was no more entitled
under the laws to be counted as mon-
ey than blank piece of paper would
be. In tact we have good cause to be-
lieve that Traber d Auber had no
money in their hands belonging to
Frazee, Cunning & Co., and, there
fore, the draft was worthless, aud al
ways would have remained worthless
if Melsar Nye had not agreed'to pay
it as part of his contract in purchas-
ing the Eagle Furnace property.
The interest on the sum Represented
by this draft, supposing it to have
been out just one year, at ten per
cent, would be $46O 90. Mr..
Reynolds friends acknowledge the
transaction as here stated, but claim
that he received no interest. Without
attempting to decide whether he did
or did not receive interest, the peo-
pie we're at the same risk of losing
their money, and Mr.. Reynolds duty,
as plainly described by the. law, was
violated. r~
