supports the Chief Justice
[From the Evening Telegram Of yesterday.
WASHINGTON, June II, 1868.
Chief Justice Chase arrived here yesterday from
his recent visit to the South Last evening he visited
President Johnson. 1t is learned from a high and
reliable authority that the political condition OF the
New York by the Democrative Convention next
month formed themes of conversation between the
President and the Chief Justice.
since the name OF Chase was first mentioned in
connection with the democratic nomination Mr..
Johnson has taken an unusual interest in the pro-
posed Convention. He has frequently expressed his
preference for Chase 10 those who introduced the
subject to him all the other candidates. In
his opinion the nomination OF Chase would be
the harbnger OF victory for the democrats, and his
election would bring peace and quiet 20 the country,
besides doing away with military rule and restor
ths 'e eenyersaop ns eyennS a The pPre Pres
dent frankly expressed the hope that the
Democratic Convention would have the wis
dom and policy to nominate Chase, around whom
the conservatives and the constitution loving
OF the country could rally. II this was done ne
(Johnson would do his utmost to insure the success
of the ticket. 1he Chief Justice thanked the Pres
dent for his kindness and expressed his Willingness
to accept the nomination on the platform embracing
the living issues OF the day.
From the Commercial Advertiser of yesterday1
WASHINGTON, June IT, 1865,
The return Of Chief Justice Chase to this city
has revived the interest in his proposed
nomination by the New York Convention. 1t
is understood that arrangements are now
IN progress for the formation OF coalition Presi-
dental ticket OF conservative republicans and demo-
Gratis with Mr.. Chase at its head. ON the basis Of
opposition to radicaism and centraZation and ac-
ceptance Of the accomplished events OF the war. 1t
is claimed by Mr. Chase's friends that he can carry
more than half the Southern States and cause de-
lection from the republican party in the Northern
states that Will elect the ticket and secure full
majority in Congress.
The democratic leaders so far are cautious and
reticent, and hesitate to commit themselves in ad
vance of definite knowledge OF Mr.. Chases views.
Chase's political friends are in consultation with
him to-day. A third party with Chase as candidate
PrpaidancV n In nf ia finn
by the Democratic Convention The democrats ap-
prehend that Mr.. Chase cannot poll the full vote OF
the party and this seems TO be the great obstacle
his nomination. 1t Is conceded however, that he
would draw large republican vote.

the House a.few weeks ago tending TO show that he
was opposed to the protection Of all interests. The

the enterprise OF the American people would remedy
all the present difficulties about commerce and the
carrying trade and that there was no necessity for
this bill. which undertook TO save one interest by
striking down other interests that were OF equal i'm

striking out the second section. The other sections
