CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.
a Card from Colonel william Brow

ANhru from Colonel william Brown.
Colonel Brown publishes card in the Clncin-
natl COnmerclm in answer to some OF the
charges made against him by the New York
World. He says that the intimation that any
one in Indiana had aught to do with the prepa.
ration of his speech is false. Every line of 1t
was written by him in his own room. 1t was
begun on the l4th and finished by the 18Th No
person had seen or known aught of ITS contents
except his wife and a MIR. Seymour, an old
family friend. He gave some idea of its con-
tents to another friend in Nicholasv willie, KY.
and to the correspondent of the Louisville
Democrat. He says:-
LAS to my ignorance of the movement
beg leave to refer him for information, first, to
the Chief Justice himself; second, to General
J. s. Whitney of Boston, the II ID. Alexar der
Long of Cincinnati, the Hon. Hamilton Smith
OF Cannelton, Ind the Hon. John j. Cisco
and Colonel John ID. Van Buren of New York.
1t is In the power of these gentlemen to verify
every statement in my speech concerning Mr..
Seymour. | also refer the World to an article
signed r. aud which appeared in the West and
South day before yesterday. r. Is q better
Democrat aud better newspaper writer thau

ton with the Cincinnati Enquirer secured for
that paper much of its circulation and influence.
lie suslains every position taken by me-gOes
even further, and says things which my SYM
pathy for MIR. Seymour's mlstortunes forbids me
to utter. l knew that, after all was over, Mr..
Seymour cried Tor hours like ne Wy weanod

AS to the statement of the World that | have
malgned Mr.. Seymour, l denouuce il as an
Infamous lie. There is not Democratic editor
or speaker in Kentucky OF my acquaintance

He says he has IN his possession the copy of
the platform submitted to the Chief Justice by
the progressoDists of the Democratic party
which was seen, read, and approved by Horatio
Seymour, which accepts negro suffrage. Mr..
Seymour approved and urged Mr.. Chase's
nomination on this platform as Colonel Brown
is able to prove. Tue Colonel closest
As weeper regard Mr.. Seymour as fully the
equal OF Job Trot;er; as man of moral courage
he rivals Bob Acres; but 1 do think that the
attempt of a few designing politicians, in whose
hands he has always been a suppliant tool, to
toist him upon the American people as in any
sense statesman, is the grandest farce ever
attempted in this country. When our nation so
far torgets Its pride, its admiration of the true
courage, the martial glory and warlike spirit of
our race, and the memory of the dear heroes
who died on the field of battle to make us what
we are. as to elect such a man as Horatio Sey-
mour President, then / shal. expect to see the
eagles meet in convention and elect buzzard

thoroughly investigated this subject that a
much better channel Of inter-oommuni-
cation between the two great oceans OF
the world can be found in the Isthmus
of Darien. The apparent success of the pre-
sent effort to construct the Suez Canal
is increasing the long cherished desire to
accomplish a similar undertaking, Of still
greater Importance, on this continent, and If
M. Lesseps achieves a complete triumph the
day cannot be far distant when the dream of
Columbus will be literally realized, and ves-
sells will be enabled to sail from Europe due
west to the eastern shores of Asia. No i'm
provement that has ever been projected would
have more important influence in increasing
the commerce Of the seas, and in facilitating
the exchange of the surplus products of remote
nationa.

THE fate in store for the Unionists of the
South, should Seymour and Blair be elected,
is foretold by the negro-killer, slave-dealer,
and butcher-Forrest. We published his
statement in THE EVENING TELEGRAPH of yes
terday. Some portions of it we must impress
on our readers. Let the following be read:-
"IhaUe told these radicals here 1U1tat they might
erpect tn such an eCent. have no powder to burn
killing negroes. Intend TO EiLLrddicals l have
told them this and more; there is not q radical
leader IN this to,On but is a marked man, and II u
trouble should break out not Of them UouLd be
lett dliUe Their houses are picked and Uben he
tight comes not one Of them lUould euer get out Of
This torn alive. We don't intend they shall ever
get out Of the country"
This man, let it be remembered, is a defeated
and paroled Rebel, whose life is spared only
through Executive clemency. If this is the
way he dares to talk to the people of the
North of their Southern friends and allies,
the censure he will receive in November will
prevent the plan OF "killing radicals' most
effectually.

The Nicaragua Treaty.

THE treaty made with Nicaragua, and recently
officially promulgated, gives to the Govern
ment of this country right to grant efficient
protection to transit routes over the Nioara-
guam territory, and also affords to Americans
all the immunities and privileges which could
justly be claimed by any persons residing in
foreign State. One of the natural results Of
the treaty, therefore, will be to hasten the
construction of new railway link between
the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. At
one time it was supposed that line could
be found in Nicaragua for the favorite
project of a ship canal, and several
surveys were made to gain accurate informa-
tiou on the subject. 1t does not seem to bs
absolutely impossible to construct such
canal in Nicaragua; but the line would be
nearly two hundred miles long, numerous
locks would be necessary, and expensive
harbor improvements would be requisite; SC
that it is believed by thoss who have most

THE MIoRosCoPE.-In the United States. in
1862 Messrs. Greenleaf and Stodder, of Boston,
distinguished lines 9O,O 900 to the inch. In 1867.
DIR. Woodward, of Washington, resolved what
is called "Nobert's Band" of 10000 to the inch.
He afterwards got 1Ol 900. Recently, both
Messrs. Greenleaf and Stodder. with l-6 i'm
mersion microscope, saw satisfactorily Nobert's
band of $4,000 to the inch, thereby establish
ing the fact of the visibility of such lines, con-
Irary to the theory ofthe physicists" Wonder
full as these facts in reality are, what is still
more surprising is, that these bands of Nobert's
can be photographed, and their images can be
counted to the number of 10000 to the inch
With what kind Of a point 1T is asked, does
Nobert mark his lines, and how Is that point
moved?

DIGNITY AND THE DBMooRACY.-The orators
and the press in the interest of the Demo
cracy have been striving to achieve triumph
by assailing the character and injuring the
fame of General Grant, but the wisest of their
leaders have awakened to the impolicy of this
line of action. 1t has been tried very fully,
and has completely failed, and now as the
canvass is approaching near its conclusion,
and time grows precious, the prominent poll
ticians are calling upon the party to stand on
it's digpity,-that as it is impossible to prove
Grant despot, drunkard, and a Ounce, it
will be wisest to accept him in his true cha
racter and strive to elevate themselves into
"foemen worthy of his steel" The new
'tack" is to rejoice in the fact that the great
Democratic party has entered upon a conflict
with an enemy, over whom triumph will be a
lasting glory. Grant is a mighty general but
SO is-Blar! Grant is prudent and placable,
but Seymour is-more so This may be a
good course for them to adopt, but they are a
little late about it. 1t would have been better
to have been fighting it out on that line all
summer.

Hon. THOMAS II. SEYMOUR, of Connecticut,
died yesterday. He was a well-known and
leading Democratic politician. He was the
opponent of Mcclellan for the Presidential
nomination of 1864. By far the ablest of all
the Seymours, he was by far the most open
Rebel. sympathizer. OF late years he has
taken no part in politics. He was at one time
a member of Congress, and at another Cover
nor of the State. We give an extended sketch
of his life elsewhere.

ANOTHER BLAIR BLUNDER.-A blunder is in
deed worse than crime in so far that the day
of extreme reckoning for sin may be long
postponed, but retribution follows fast on the
stupidity of foolish error. We can rarely
catch the Democratic wire pullers at fault in
this respect; their consciences have conve-
nient elasticity, and their doctrines breadth
and margin that allows liberty of variation,
and permits a latitude that sui 3 all latitudes.
We have known them to have even pleasant,
copciliatory, leanings to the protection of the
iron and coal interests of doubtful districts in
our own State, while they were upholding
reverse opinions to beloved constituencies of
other Commonwealths. But it seems to be
true, as well as alliterative, that Montgomery
Blair has made laundering blow by propos-
ing to stump Western Virginia, and the an
nouncement of his approach has been an
swered by patriotic warning to all good cti-
zens to "beware of Blair |" He has made an
i'll choice of a field for the display of his
oratory. West Virginia is now a State Justly
proud alike of fair province and brave and
honorable population, and the patriots of the
new State still remember that he bitterly op-
posed the creation Of their Commonwealth,
welding all his influence as member Of the
Cabinet against the measure, and unhesita-
tingly denouncing its advocates as "fools."

ColrMoN SCHOOLS BEFORE CHRIsr.-The New
York Observer says General interest in the Tai
mud has been awakened by recent article OF
great learning in the London Quarterly. Glisten.
ing particles Of wit. wisdom, history, poetry and
science are to be found everywhere throughout
these thousand years of Hebrew commentary and
jurisprudence. But the treasures to be brought
up only by digging directly through the mass, for
tile subjects are as varied aud confused as geolo-
gcal strata that have been subverted aud
mingled together by prehistoric perturbation.
In our own advocacy of education for the masses,
and IN tie endeavors of England in the same di.
rertion, we may find 10 the Talmud that there is
nothing new under the sun.
Eighty years before Christ schools hourished
throughout the length and breadth of the land
education had been made compulsory. While
there is not single term for school 10 be found
before the Captivity, there were by that time
about dozen in common usage. Here are few
Of the innumerabe popular sayings OF the period,
betokening the paramount importance which
public instruction had assumed in the life of the
nation: Jerusalem was destroyed because Of
the Young neglected. The world is only saved
by the breath of the school Children Even for
the rebuilding Of the Temple the schools must not
be interrupted Study is more meritorious than
sacrifice "A scholar is greater than prophet
Jewish schools necessarily included divine truth
in their system of instruction, for their govern.
ment and literature were based on inspiration.
But their education did not save the nation when
il refused TO recognize the same divine truth in
the fulfllment OF the Law by the Gospel Of Christ.
