We are advised that either editorial
articles Of the Jacobin press, or letters Of
Washington correspondents therein, stating
that Chief Justice Chase endorses Grant or
radicasm, or their prospects, are utterly
uniounded, But we hear that Mr.. Chase
does speak of the excuses of the radical
congress which have driven thousands of
men from the republican ranks. Why
should he not, when it was but a day ago
that be was the target of uumeasured invec
tive by radical partisan journals, which At
tributed to him disparagement of General
Grant, and which threatened impeachment
of him for just discharge Of the duties OF
his high Office. We suppose that Mr.. Chase,
like tens of thousands Of the best Of repub.
licaus Of the old stamp in the land, feel as
did Mr.. Webster when he spoke ofauomina.

corrpntion Of Radical Congressmsn.

Gov, Church, Of New York, in his speech
at the great New York mass meeting not
only exposed the falsity of radical statements
as to the debt, but said

with false and deceptive account-a mere
trick, not worthy to be talked about single
moment, any more than tde gable Of a
mountebank. except that it is gratefully
adopted by the whole radical party of the
country. (APp0ause) Now let US look one
step further. Having shown this defence
to be false, l propose for a moment or two to
