CHASE AND WADE.-A difficulty seems to bs
springng up in the path Of impeachment
which may prove more effective in securing
the acqui.tal Of the President than all the legal
arguments that can be made in bis behalf
There mas long been jealousy between the
two most prominent figures in the drama
Chief Justice Chase, who presides at the trial.
and Old Ben Wade, who, in case Of the con-
viction Of Andrew Johnson, would remove,
with all his old clothes and shirt collars, into
the White House. If Wade should obtain con-
troll Of the federal patronage for month or
two before the nomination Of candidates
Chase's chances would not be worth one Of his
old ten cent shinplasters. The Chief Justice
has enough to do to head of Grant, without
helping TO place his old Ohio competitor in q
position to insure his defeat
The New York herald., 1868-03-02

The last six months here shown, from July
to December, 1867, embrace the period during
which the present executive committee have
had the management Of the company's affairs,
and, as will be seen, the working expenses OF
the line in their hands have reached the enor-
nous and unprecedented amount Of sixty-fve
per cent Of the gross receipts. The stockhold.
ers, whose property Is thus flagrantly misman-
aged, should at once apply to the courts for
protection against such shameless and reckless
squandcring Of their money. The charter Of
the company must surely give some rights to
those whose funds are invested In the stock,
and the law which renders tho stockholder
liable for the company's debts and liabili-
ties must also be sufficient to protect
him from being plundered. The figures
we have shown furnish OF themselves
evidence of gross mismanagement on the
part Of the executive committee sufficient
to make case to satisfy any Judge Of the pro-
priety Of interfering for the protection Of
the stockholders and should certainly serve
to convince the latter Of the necessity OF some
speedy and resolute action II they desire to
save any portion of valuable property from
destruction.

political economy which, in our opinion, has no
American application whatsoever, being essen
TALLY undemocratic. In a republican COM

to be permitted to interpose between the gov

point Of view; and yet this is just what our

relations between republic and its people
ought to be direct; nor should their admins

The Revoiu.ion In japan.

In the HERALD of yesterday we printed quite
q mass Of intelligence relative to the revolution
which has taken place in the government Of
prospects Of the country. The extracts which
we gave from the Japan Herald and the Friend
Of China are valuable chiefly from the fact that
they are entirely conArmatory Of all our recent
telegraphic letters from our Japan corre-
spondents or all the revolutions which have
taken place in these last times, that which has
occurred in Japan is in many respects the
most wonderful. The Shagoon, originally
servant Of the Mikado, and holding an Office
approaching as nearly as possible to that Of
the Mayor Of the Palace in France, or to that
Of gener0lissinsO under the European mon
arches, had come in course OF time, rather
through use and wont than by actual usurpa-
ton, to monopolize the executive power. The
Mikado had become more and more name,
less and less reality. Increasing intercourse
with foreigners Of late years, and especially
the vigorous and intelligent efforts of the
ShagoOn to encourage such intercourse by
arranging to open certain ports and to make
grants of land to foreigners, have had the effect
Of rOusing the attention of the greater daimios
or princes Of the empire and of compelling
them to look more closely to the machine Of
government The result has been a revolution
in favor of the Mikado, who, strange to say, is
a youth of nine years Of age, and in which the
Shagoon, just as strange to say, entirely acqui-
esces, thus revealing on the part of all con-
cerned an amount Of respect for the constitution
in striking contrast with the conduct of our
brawling politicians at Washington. 1t is very
doubtful, indeed, if fifty years. contact with
so-called Christian civilization will leave
behind it so large residuum OF honor among
the magnates Of Japan. 1t is satisfactory to
learn that the treaty arrangements entered
into by the Shagoon were to be carried through
by the new government, and that Japan is
after all to be thrown open to the commerce
of the world. 1t is, as our reports have shown,
q country of immense wealth. The people,
too, are Industrious and ingenious beyond
most of the people of the East The opportu-
nifty presented to American capitalists is great
It is desirable that they should take advantage
OF it. 1t will be to the credit of the United
States if they use 1t wisely and well.
The New York herald., 1868-03-02

skill of the land appeals for aid. and the
HERALD's proposition for them to unite with
American capitalists in entreatng Congress to
abandon for q moment the all-absorbing desire
to grasp the spoils Of Office and repeal certain
onerous laws of taxation, that the oppressive
burdens which have almost caused the extinc-
tion OF American commerce may be removed,
meets with hearty commentator. That such
laws, inimical to American industry, do exist
no better evidence is needed than an interview
with the iron steamship builders of the United
States regarding this all important subject
They will tell you of their former prosperity |;
will recur feelingly to the many productions OF
American genius that have been the envy of
the world, and then hold up to you the pre-
sent depressed condition of the shipbuilding
interests in contrast with the prosperous busi-
ness Of former years. In further proof of this
we refer to a promised letter in another
column from our correspondent at Chester,
Pa, detailing the extent Of the works there
devoted to the construction OF iron steamships
and marine engines. Its perusal should hasten
the Inauguration of the proposed remedial
action to soon again place the United States
on respectable footing among the marine
nations of the globe.

In like manner o floating debt has been
created since August, 1865 (prior to which
date the company had no floating debt), which
now reaches four hundred thousand dollars.
As we have before stated, practical telegraph
men agree in estimating twenty-five or thirty
per cent of the gross receipts Of line as suffi-
cient for all its working expenses on liberal
basis. The Western Union line has always been
somewhat extravagantly managed, but never

The Management OF the western Union
Stockholders.
The management of the Western Union
Telegraph Company has been for years a close
corporation, and the stockholders have enjoyed
but little opportunity to ascertain the true
condition of Its affairs. The exhibit recently
made by the executive committee, like that
which preceded It in October, 1865, is q mere
aggregation Of figures showing certain results,
and affords no detailed information such as the
stockholders have right to possess, especially
as the law makes each one of them individually
responsible for all the debts and liabilities Of the
company to the amount of one-fourth the par
value of the stock he holds. The facts are set
forth that the capital stock has been increased
since 1855 from twenty million to forty-one mil
Ion dollars; but nothing is said of the terms upon
which large amounts have been issued for the
purchase and consolidation of other lines and
the stockholders have no means of discovering
the nature or character of transactions in
volving sums varying from three and q half
million to eleven million dollars each. The
bonded debt is stated to be five million dollars ;
but no details are given of the manner in
which the increase of nearly four millions has
been brought about, nor is it shown into whose
hands the new bonds have passed. We find
from the tables that the gross receipts in
eighteen months prior to January l, 1868, have
been ten million dollars that the working
expenses in the same period have been be-
tween six and seven millions, aid that the
small remaining net profits have all been
swallowed up to within one hundred and
seventy-fve thousand dollars, without leaving
a dollar for the last January dividend, which
has consequently been passed. But we
are left in the dark as to the particulars of
these enormous working expenses, and have no
means of knowing why they have reached
nearly sixty-6ve per cent of the gross receipts,
when the most liberal estimates for working O
telegraph line will not exceed twenty-five per
cent
As the exhibit called for by the resolution of
the Board of Directors has proved thus meagre
and unsatisfactory, few plain facts and figures
may serve to enlighten the stockholders as to
the practical results Of this close corporation
OF the company's affairs. The fol-
lowing are the salable prices of Western Union
stock for the mast eight wears -
