CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE seems to have =
due appreciation of what the EederGljst
calls the awful discretion which a court
of impeachment mnst necessarily have,
to doom 10 honor or infamy the most
confidential and distinguished ch4rac-
ters Of the community and from the
tenor Of the communication which he
has seen fit to address to the Senate, in
view Of the relation he is to bear to it rs
court in the approaching trial of the
President, it would appeart that he desires
that body should feel equally with him.
self the gravity of the duty with which it
is charged. His criticism upon the pro>
ceedings already had by that body in re-
lation to this matter is merited rebuke.
He ehastens in o dignifed style the haste
that has been shown; and cites them to
the fact that they are not yet a court and
cannot become so until he has assumed
the chair, and, particularly, to the fact
that the Senate, as such, has no power to
adopt rules Of proceeding for the body
after it is transformed into court
We are disposed to regard this as an
evidence that so far as the Chief Justice
is concerned, he intends to shake the
dust of the party arena from his feet
and go to his great charge without par

Judge Cartier Ia Grant L..


In the criminal court this morning the motion ior

for the motion and Mr.. Riddle In opposition mr..
Merrick urged the release on bail, because ourrs"
had been long confined, was suffering In nesi'n III"

sci for defence he said were not volunteers but had
not received and did not expect pay for the utmost
efforts OF surratts friends could barely raise sul
cient funds to pay the board OF his witnesses during
the trial, &c.
Chief Justice Cartier refused to bail surratt on the
ground that the prosecution was ready to proceed at
the present term but that the case had been contn-
ued until the next term, at the instance or at least
with the ready consent Of Surrattg counsel.
