The following document, described~ as "a
confidential letter from Judge Chase to per-
sonal friend" appeared in the New York
Herald Yesterday morning. 1t Mr.. Chase
neither expects nor desires" to be candidate
for the Presidency, he should have said so to
the Philadelphia Democrats who nominated
him few days ago; he should have said SO to
the Republican editors who have been push
ing his claims" for the last year; he should
signify 1t Enthusiastically to the Democratic
managers who are making so strong demon
stration in his favor now. The yielding coy
ness of his present attitude is unworthy of
him:
WASHINGTON, May 25th.
NY Dear Sir-You are right in believing
that shall never abandon the great principles
for the success of which have given my en-
tire life. l adhere to my old creed of equal
rights, without one iot or little of abatement.
snail DE glad If new professors of that
creed adhere to it as faithfully. l am amazed
by the torrent of invectives by which am
drenehed. Almost everything alleged as feet
is talsehood out of whole cloth. Where allie
CATION has little fact in it the fact is so per-
verified and travestied that it becomes false
hood. l know no motive for all this. except
disappointment that impeachment has not thus
tar proved success, coupled with belief that
l have done something to prevent its being
success. have not been a partizan of i'm
parchment certainly, but have not been
partizan on the other side
As presiding officer over the trial, nv con-
science testifies that have been strictly i'm
partial am sure that any one who reads the
report will say so. Individually / have my
convictions and opinions, but 1 have very sell
dom given utterance to them. Indeed 1 do
not think that the case in any of its aspects
has been the subject of conversation betweens
myself and more than four or five Senators,
and then only casually and briefly. No Sena-
tor will say that L have sought to influence
him.
The real ground of denunciation is that
nave not been partizan OF conviction, and
this denunciation l am willing to bear. They
may denounce and abuse me and read me out
OF the party, if they choose. 1 follow my old
lights, not the new. What the developments
OF the future may be know not. neither
expect nor desire to be candidate for office
again. 1t would, however, crafty me exceed
ingly If the Democratic party would take
ground which would assure the party against
all attempts to subvert the principle of univer-
sal suffrage established in eight and to be es-
tablshed in all the Southern Constitutions;
then L think the future of the great cause for
which have labored so long would be secure,
and should not regret my absence from po-
litical labors. SALMON p. CHASE.

Bath Military and Naval Orphan Asylum.


Among the many benevolent organizations
which sprung up during the late war, and con-
nected with it, not the least, and aaow among
the most deserving of support, are those which
were specially organized to care and provide
for the support and education of the orphans
of the noble and patriotic men, who both on
the land and on the sea, sacrificed their lives
in their country's defence.
An organization of this character under the
name which heads this article has been for
some time in successful operation in Bath.
and has recently reorganized under charter
from the State, having for its officers some of
the leading citizens, ladies as well as gentle
men of that city; Capt. John Patten, the well
known shipbulder being its President.
The trustees have leased a large and COM
modous estate ON High street to which the
Asylum was moved last week, and we think
them fortunate in having secured the services
of Mrs. Ruth Mayhem, of Rockland, as Ma
iron of their Institution. Mrs. Mayhem is
well known in the State as having devoted
herself to the care and comfort OF disabled SOL
diers in camp, field and hospital during the
war, as nurse sent out by the "Maine Camp
Hospital Association of this city, and is pc
culiarly qualified for the position she is about
to assume. .... ...
May the day be far distant when the people
shall forget their obligations to the children of
our fallen heroes; and while we join in honor
ing the memory of their parents and strew
flowers upon their graves, let us tenderly
cherish and care for those whom the war has
most emphatically made the children of our
country .. &

The ARGUS AND Mr.. CHAsE.-The Argus
tries to escape from the dilemma in which it
is involved by its facile change from abuse to
eulogy of Chief Justice Chase, by alleging
that the language we quoted from its columns
Monday morning was " what Thurlow Weed
said" Suppose it was, it was endorsed by the
Argus. But it is needless to consider the ex-
tent of this responsibility. Here is an extract
from a leading editorial in the Argus OF June
20, 1867:
All the active man9uvering, so far as ap-
pears, is within the Radical ranks and for the
Radical nomination. Foremost among these
aspirants, probably, stands Chief Justice Chase
Not content Nth the Chief JlsticeShip, for achich
ne Is not remarkably aceU tted he actually itches
to De chief Executive His own personal efforts
to cater [sicl in that direction have not been
of the most dignified character and apparently
not very successful. Whether the friends
whom he made rich by Treasury permits while
he was in the office of Secretary, and those
who got by his appointment the fat offices of
registers under the bankrupt act will be able
to pull the wires more successfully, remains to
be seen. We are rather OF the opinion that
they will. If civilian gets the Radical NOM
NATION, MIR. Chase means to have it.

Though the "Repudiator"
died after brief and Intellectual struggle for
existence the La Crosse Democrat still lives
and howls for "Pendleton and Greenbacks.' p
Here is its latest appeal to the New York con-
vention: ..r
What beautiful fix we should be in, were
we to adopt Gov. Seymour's views, affirm
ing, in substance, the Jacobin platform upon
the financial question.
How grandly we could rally the masses.
What ringing appeals we could make to the
plowholders. What splendid campaign it
would be- with no issue that would touch the
real interests of the people, arouse enthusiasm,
fire the popular heart, and consolidate,
strengthen, inspire with confidence, gladden.
with assurance of victory, the Democratic Le-
gions! @ 0H
Out upon the thought Spurn all such sug-
gestions! Treat as enemies all who would
counsel such suicidal policy! Away with the
insidious advice of those who would thus de-
lude, betray and ruin us! f2as
1t is false to Democracy! 1t is treason to
Country! 1t is death to Liberty!
Let the People be s0arned!

Political NOfes.

The Washington correspondent of the Prov
idence Journal says that it is evident that the
nomination of Mr.. Chase for the presidency,
by the Democrats, is breaking down. The
border State Democracy declare openly that if
he is to be nominated, they will run candi-
date of their own. Under no circumstances
will the Rebels and Copperheads of Maryland,
Delewsre and Kentucky support man known
to favor negro suffrage. Mr.. Chase is trying
to physic out all his old principles, but the
Democracy won't trust him. The Democratic
leaders in Congress laugh at the idea of his
nomination, and say it is supported only by a
few politicians in New York.
An Ohio general, Republican, was lately
chosen delegate to the Democratic soldiers
convention in New York. He comes out in a
card declining in favor of Gen. Forrest
The New York Herald, which is for this
week only Chase organ makes up the follow
ing Cabinet for the Chief Justice: Gov. Sew
mour as Secretary of State, Mr.. Fessenden as
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Pendleton as
Attorney-General, Mr.. Hendricks as Secretary
of the Interior, Admiral Farragut as Secretary
of the Navy, and Gen. Mcclellan as Secretary
of War-thus grouping around great states
man all the popular names of great crisis.
Who would dare to question the success of the
ticket?
Senator Yates will soon call up the bill for
the admission of Colorado. 1t will be the
thirty-eighth State.
Veteran Observer" says he has seen politi-
cal conventions for thirty years, but has never
known one to be conducted SO wisely and pru-

Mr.. Shellabarger, of Ohio Monday introd,c.
ed and had referred to the Committee on Floo-
tons, bill declaring void the visible admix-
ture law in Ohio, in so far as it relates to the
election of representatives in Congress. This
law is deemed necessary Notwithstanding the
late decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio, to
prevent an attempt to enforce it in all districts
OF the State where Democrats have a majority
OF the judges of election.

The Hon. III. s. Bundy, in card printed in
the Jackson (O) Standard, corrects the az
count given OF his conversation with Chief
Justice Chase. He says that the latter did not
say anything in regard to new party, or as to
his seeking the nomination for the Presidency.
What he did say was that he was opposed to
impeachment and the Congressional plan Of re-
construction. Judge Chase was outSDoken in
his opposition to the Republican policy.

THE RATIFICATION MEETING, FRIDAY.-The
Executive Committee of the Grant Club have
been peculiarly fortunate in securing the ser
vices of so distinguished and eloquent speak
ers for the ratification meeting, Friday eve
ming. Ex-Governor Hawley of Connecticut is
one of the most eloquent of New England Or
ators. His address as President OF the Chica-
go Convention and the brief speech to Gen.
Grant in giving him formal notice of his NOM
ination for the Presidency, afford ample proof
of his ability as public speaker. Of the 9TH
er gentlemen who are announced for the meet
ing there is no need to speak, for they have
long been known and honored by all who will
again have the pleasure of listening to then.
The meeting cannot fail to be one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic that ever assembled
in this city.

THE Argus will look in vain through the
files of the Press for disrespectful line Or
word concerning Geneal Grant. We said a
year ago, in answer to a challenge from the
Argus, that the Press had never protested to
think very highly of General Grant tor the
Presidency for the very good reason that 1t aoas
hardly time then to think about the Presidency at
au." Yesterdays Argus publishes the first
part of this sentence, emitting the words in
italics. Is that feat to be proud of? There
are two or three more garbled extracts from
