CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE's RETIREMENT. The
Concord Statesman makes merry over the let
ter in which the Chief Justice says that he is
"out of future political contests and that no
one need to feel jealous of him hereafter" II
says
This is certainly good news for those who
have been jealous of the Chief Justice, whoev-
er they may be- and indicates most astonish-
ing generosity on his part. 1t reminds us OF
the story of young man in rural town who
was asked why he no longer paid attention to
q certain blooming damsel "Why, You see, -
said he, Il had noticed that she was rather
uppish and Offish for several Sunday nights
and went riding good deal with another fell
low. didn't care much for that. But when
had walked home with her one evening, she
turned round at the gate and said: Joshua,
you needn't mind about coming home with
me any more. That was rather more than 1
could stand; so I sacked her that very night %
The Chase movement being evidently doomed
to failure, the Judge, after carefully studying
the prospects all round and testing the popu-
lar feeling, comes out at this late hour with
the astonishing announcement that he is "out
of politics." Of course he is; but politics have
rather got the start of him in the "sacking.''

AMONG the prominent Republicans now on

THE Atlanta (Ga) Constitution joins the
Richmond Whig Richmond Enquirer, Savan-

abandon their affiliations with the Democratic
party party whose "name is synonym of

The last Belfast Journal nominally Smith
organ, devotes nearly two columns to a report
of the Waldo Hiehborn Convention in Belfast
and an editorial puff for that cause. The edi-

Of Democratic success.
THE Milwaukee (Wis) Sentinel is again urg-
ing the abolition Of the Office of Vice President.
In case of the death of the President it would
have the Secretary of State act as President I'M

the people vote directly for President and the
sAnate elect its own President, to serve for two
years.
How must Northern Democrats feel when
they hear such fire-eater as the Memphis

THE Boston Traveller says there is consid-

KNOXVILLE, April AT an early
hour this morning the city was crowded
with the old friends of Andrew johnson.
The trains on all the roads brought large
crowds, and at eleven o'clock a special
train arrived from Greenville with John
son, who was greeted at the train by a
delegation of citizens with band and
escorted to the Lamar House in a
baroucho, in company with Nelson and
Jno. NJ. Fleming of the Press " Herald
After a short delay Johnson was intro
duced to the assembled crowd, number
inc about FIVE thousand, by the Hon. Mr.
Nelson, who referred to his previous
political difference with the distinguished
gentlemen before them. To their argu-
ment on the vital question of the rebel
lion, he feelingly referred to prosecutions
inflicted upon Johnson for Union senti-
ments, and eloquently described his pa
triotic course during the war, and allud-
ed to his wise and conciliatory policy Of
reconstruction. Johnson, after return
ing thanks for cordially of welcome,
said that he had endeavored to protect
the constitution, and all he asked was
fair examination of his record. He in
tended to devote the remainder of his
life as a private citizen, to the vindica-
ton of his official line, and his native
State from the foul obloquy that had
been heaped upon her. Though bent,
she had not been broken by the storm
which nearly wrecked the ship of State;
He had seen his own obituary published
in the papers; and supposed he might be
regarded as one risen from the dead, and
he thought belief should be placed in
one coming from the grave.
He spoke about two hours, and was
listened to with the closest attention.
On retiring from the stand he was heart
lily applauded, and was at once surround
ed by old friends, and several hours were
passed in interchanging "reminiscences
In the course of conversation he spoke
without reserve of Grant, whom he
characterized as bundle of prejudices,
and his gift enterprise cabinet as he call
ed it.

The Cuthbert Appeals says, DIR.
Means has been overwhelmed with APP
plications from many of Governor Bull
locks inspectors of fertilizers for infor-
nation how to proceed in the premises.
1t never occurred, perhaps, to some
Of these favored recipients of s tate pap,
who don't know retort from ramrod,
that chemical knowledge and a suit
able apparatus are indispensable to the
discharge of their duties.
1t is suggested, however, that they
have surmounted the difficulty by call
ing into acquisition their olfactory or
gans. In other words, they open every
bag and, inserting the nasal proboscis
take long smell, and then make oracu
lar response as to the genuineness o
the article.
If the odor is pungent and powerful
that is, stinks like thunder, it will mus
ter. But woe be to those compounds il
which the ammonia, salts, corruptint
efluvia, ETC., are deodorized by gypsum
charcoal and other disinfecting agents
They are no go. They don't smell
well.
Such charlatanism is a disgrace to tn
State, fraud upon the manufacturers
and terrible burden upon the ia!
payer.
Not one man in ten thousand is capa
bic of making careful, reliable analyst
of any of these fertilizers, and the Who'll
affair is ridiculous farce, devised b,
Governor Bullock, in the hope that hi
appointees will become partizanS, an'
thus aid in radicalizing the State.
About 100000 tons of fertilizers have
been sold in Savannah the present seas
on, much ofwhich went forward without
any inspection at all.

THE GEORGIA BILL IN CONGRESS-
The Columbus Times says: "Judge
Warner, who is in Washington, writes
homo that the bill introduced by Trum-
bull in the Senate, for the reconstruc-
ton OF Georgia, cannot becomes law"
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes to that Jour-
nal to the same effect. '.y---=
Butler has introduced in the House
bill to reconstruct the State. one of the
provisions Of which declares all the acts
of the recent Legislature as imperative,
null and cold. --..---s-.ss-
five are to have further legislation
at all events, we are very decidedly in
favor of this feature of Buffers plan. 1t
would be great relief to the people Of
the State to have the entire set of plan
dering acts of our so-called law makers
declared imperative. 1t would relieve
us of the obligation to pay the enormous
amounts appropriated for the numerous
thieving jobs which have been engineer
ed through the Legislature by bribery
and corruption. 1t would relieve the
people Of the State from twenty odd mil
lions which have been voted for the aid
of sundry doubtful internal improve
ment projects, and other useless appro-
priations.
Butler is right. If Georgia is to be
reconstructed, let the whole of the action
of the so-called State government go by
the board. The Express agent and his
army of appointees should be required
to vacate their places. If the game is
to be played we want ''new cut, shut
fle and deal' of the cards throughout the
State. But above all things, we hope
Butler will stick to his plan of declaring
all Legislative acts imperative, null ana
