Chief Justice Chase.

The Chicago Republican is alarmed
at what It terms the widespread
scheme to organize a national party
to place Chief Justice Chase in tho
Presidential chair, and thinks that no
time has ii been so incumbent upon the
Republicans to abstain from entan-
Cling alliances, and to draw party
lines strictly, for "treachery IS In the
camp and ambuscade lines our way"
On the other hand, we see an ex-
tract published from a recent private
letter Of the Chief Justice to a friend,
in which he says he is out of the po-
litlcal ring altogether, and that no one
need hereafter fear him as a rival for
the Presidency. Sensible, If true.

THE WAR A FAILURE.

On the Both of August, 1864, the
Democracy of the United States in
Convention assembled at Chicago, de-
clared the lCdT q failure and demanded
that immediate efforts be made for q
cessation Of hoStjlities. At this
time, Just as our armies were securing
their final and most glorious Victories,
Mr.. Pendleton stepped upon this plat
form and found his Waterloo defeat in
the ensuing November,
This examination of Mr.. Pendle-
toms official record can give no other
conclusion than that in 1S60-6l he
desired the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this
Union; that during the war he sympa-
thized with the rebels and aided them
bv his voice and his votes. Mr. Pen
dleton has never given any indication
that that record is not satisfactory to
himself, hence we must conclude that
he does not now rejoice that our cOun-
trv is undivided, aud that her pros
perity was never before egualed. This
being the case it is not proper that Mr..
PendletOn should be called from the
retirement of the elegant home which
he adorns 50 gracefully, to fill posi-
ton in which only patriot should be
found.

This question was submitted to the
Methodist Church to be voted on last
June, and the returns from Ig5 dis
tricts give a majority of 44,878 voters
in favor oflay delegation, out ofa to-
tai of 137, ,21O, or 81, ,O44 in favor, and
1916 against. Returns have not
been received from 2O2 districts,
which it is estimated would poll 49,
$50 votes. The point is now raised
that the vote reported is not sufficient
ly large to decide the matter, as the
Methodist Church has 7OG,813 adult
members entitled to express their
opinion on tho subject. Some Of the
Methodist journals contend that a fair
proportion Of the votes has been cast,
arguing from the ordinary elections
for Governor and State officers.
We think that the majority Of those
0OtiHg on the question should bo TAX
en- as decisive: those who did not take
the trouble to vote at all should be
regarded as at least acquiescing in tho
reform, on the principle that "siIonce
gives consent.

Good Suggestion.

The Ohio Farmer says:-The laws
Of Ohio require local Assessors to OBJ
tain and report the yield OfIeading farm
crops in their respective districts. To
make these reports any way accurate,
it Is necessary that farmers should be
careful to note down the number Of
acres they have IN these crops, and
the yield Of the same. This can be
done best at harvest time, and every
farmer should now make a note of
these things against the time the AS
SCISSOR will call for them In the spring.

A Kansas Colony.

The representatives of an English
colony of 1900 families have pur-
chased of the Kansas Pacific Railway
$4,000 acres of rolling prairie, in one
body, lying northwest of Junction
City, Kansas, and abutting ten miles
from the line of the road at an aver
age price of 1915 per acre. Eighteen
members of the colony have already
arrived and commenced the improve
ment of the lands. The colony is COM
posed of a good class of immigrants,
and each member is represented to
have sufficient means to stock his
farm. Most of them will reach Kan
sas during the coming fall and spring.

Mexican correspondent Of the New

erIy receive and entertain him upOu
his landing on Mexican soil. Orders
have been issued to all the authorities
of the country, Announcing that he is
the guest Of the nation, and to be
treated accordingly.

censuring Mr.. Harris for the language
used. This resolution was adopted,
yeas SO, nays Is. dr. Pendleton vot-
ed "no"on the adoption of each of
these resolutions, and thus endorsed
the reasonable words Of Benz G.. Har-
ris as worthy Of a Representative of
the United States. S. S. Cox, of Ohio,
and sixteen other Democrats voted for
the censure of Harris. GSee Cong.
Globe, vol. 81, page 1913.
Mr.. PendletOn also voted against a
resolution censuring Alex. Long for
declaring on the 8th of April, 1864,
that he was in favor of recognising the
independence and nationality Of the so
called Confeleracy then in arms against
the Union. [Seo Cong. Globe, vol. GA,

1T Is NOT THE DUTY OF THE PEOPLE TO
DESTROY THE REBELLION.
On the 18th Of January, 1864, Hon.
Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky, in
troduced the following resolution:
WHEREAS, A most desperate, wicked
and bloody rebellion exists within the ju-
risdiction Of the United States, and the
safety and security of personal and nation
al liberty depend upon its absolute and
utter extinction; Therefore,
"ResOlved, That it is the political, civil,
moral and sacred duty Of the people to
meet it, fight it, crush it and forever de-
strOy it, thereby establishing perfect and
unalterable liberty"
Mr.. Pendloton and a portion of the
Democratic members opposed the res
olutiOn. Once during the tendency
of the resolution Mr.. PendletOn voted
for an adjournment, and once for lay
ing it on the table. When forced to a
direct vote, only sixteen Democrats
voted against the adoption of the res
OlutiOn, and among that number was
Geo. Il. PondIetOn. Twenty-four
Democrats voted for tue resolution
See Cong. Globe, vol. 63, page 261. I
Thus Mr. PoudleLon declared that it
was not the duty of the people to de-
strOy tho rebellion.

ever in his judgment the public safety

CUBA.-Cespedes, the revolutionary

some time since issued a proclama-

him in all parts of the island, so that
