THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
Mr.. Chase, grievously disappointed,
perhaps is no worse of now than be-
fore the nominations. His attitude be-
fore the country is even more signiti-
cant. How far he consented to Demo-
cratic tenets we do not know. Inter
viewers lie. 1t is the privilege of emf
nence to be lied about.-We all feel toll
erably sure that Chase is still man Of
mould, mind, force, dignity, influence.
He is mp to the full height of the few
great men in the American public af-
fairs, and as President would have de-
veloped into a stature like Justinian.-
Heaven made him wise to show how
little wisdom is available in politics.
ROSECRANS.
Rosecrans is down at White Sulphur
Springs hob-nObbing with Lee. Rub
bing up against Lees shins to prove
that he is from the North and wants
some respectable company. To large
majority of the Northern people, who
will never get the fiunizy out of them,
there will be no Heaven unless General
, Lee be there.-Around Lee is Beaure
gard, badly off for stamps. Anderson,
who took the falling sickness at Gaines
Mill and retired upon the Tredegaf
Works, old Governor Letcher, whose
bald head, when he has drank
tolerably hard, shines like a copper
boiler, Ewell, Alexander Stevens and
others.-These bold buccaneers Rose
81 Grams is TO impress with a sense of pat
riotism, get them to write some sort of
a bull of indulgence, and he himself will
be the Friar Teckel to do business on it.
Perhaps this is unjust to Rosecrans,
who is well meaning enthusiast with
: weakness and genius in about equal
!. parts in him. lie is a dreamer, prose-
lyte to Catholicism, and / have heard
that dream converted him. He be-
lieyes in the absolute infallibility of the
Pope, hates Grant. and goes to Mexico
4. in the three-fold character of Minister,
Miner and Manifest Destinariaa. He is
q member of Stewards party, the Acqui-
: sitiOnists, TO which belong a great num-
Der of speculative people, whose oyster
is MeXico.-Charles Sumner is said TO
be one of this fraternity. Ben. Butler is
a buccaneer in it. 1t is the newest shape
l of your New England prosely tization.
