DECREASE IN SIZE, Ero-Owing to
the excessive dnllness in business
orioles at the North, and the conse-
quent great falling of IN advertise
ments from that seotion-which pub
lishers generally depend on to fiji
large sheets-we are forced to curtail
somewhat the proportions of the
Pheni.r. The usual amount of read
ing matter will, however, continue to
be published, besides telegraphic
dispatches from all parts of the
world, embracing general news and
market reports. Supplements will,
of course, be issued, as usual, when
required. There are some parties
who-without knowing tho cost of
publishing daily news journal
think the rates of subscription and
advertising arc too high-that they
are above anti-war rates. They make
grave mistake. The prices are
actually less-taking the difference
between gold and greenbacks. It

the amounts paid by them. 1t is the
intention OF the proprietor to con-
tinue its publication, whether times
are good" or-as now-''particularly
bad" Besides which, it should be
remembered, that subscription prices
cannot be altered-advanced or de-
creased-in day, like articles of
general merchandise; but whether
the cost of necessaries is very high,
or extraordinarily low, the subscriber
expects his paper to be furnished at
a uniform rate. The terms of the

HARD TIMES. Mn. EDITOR: The
general complaint of the scarcity of
money seems pretty we'll to have been
dissipated by Messrs. d. @. Peixotto
& Son, auctioneers, at their sale of
furniture, which took place on the
28d of this month, ut the residence
of the late Rev. j. T. Munds. The
high prices obtained, by the zeal and
energy displayed on the part of those
gentlemen, certainly places them ct
the head of their profession.

There is no man who has so rapidly
-degenerated in the estimation of the
public within the past few months as
Mr.. CHASE. There are sundry mani
festations in the nation leading to the
belief that confidence in the Chief
Justice has been so shaken as to
make his resignation a necessity. IF
he is at all sensitive, he must per-
ceive how deeply he has given offense
to good men by the acts of political
eoquetry he has displayed. The
public will think there is danger to
the Commonwealth in the retention
Of high judicial authority by a man
VINO stoops to pander to party preju-
dioes for the purpose &C feeding his
ambition.
1t was one of the mistakes of his
administration that Mr.. LINCOLN ever
permitted party considerations to out
weigh his judgment in Mr.. CHAsE's

and yet in his conduct in that matter

ter is conspicuous. Governor AN.
DREW related to a citizen of Boston
just before his death, the following,
which must make a deep impression
upon all who read it: II was in
Washington just before Mr.. CHASE
was nominated as Chief Justice, and,
at Mr.. LINcoLN's request, called at
the White House. Here / am, said
Mr.. LINCOLN, surrounded By docu
