THE sPITEs OF GREAT MEN.

Chief Justice Chase has few equals as q
hater, and when he seeks to vent his per-
sonal spite, (of which he always has a
large share on hand) will go any length
for its qualification. 1t is we'll known hat
while be was in Lincoln's Cabinet, he was
costantly intriguing against that pure and
patriotic man, of whom he was jealous and
whose popularity with the masses was a
source Of annoyance to him. Yet Mr..
Lincoln made Salmon p. Chase Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court Ntxt, Chase
endeavored to destroy the Republican
party by acting cheek by jowl with Andrew
johnson, whose escape from impeachment
he secured and if he could have accom-.
plisbed the result, Chase no doubt would
have defeated Grant. 1t was his desire to
do SO. He connived at all sorts Of organi.
zation to insure such defeat, and only
stopped plotting for it when confronted
with the angry displeasure of the people.
The reader will remember that one Brad
ley, blnckguard and bullying Washington
lawyer, had his name struck from the rolls
OF the District Supreme Court, because be
insultirgly challenged the Judge thereof to
fghta duel Chase hates Judge Carter.
and to crafty this spite, has issued a man.
damus restoring Bradley to practice in
Carriers court. Every good lawyer in
Washington believes Chase to have been
impelled in this matter by his hates, which
he now only la5ors to crafty. 1t is fearful
to behold so weak and so mean man in
the position of Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court, and yet it is not uncommon
now a-days to see what are called great men
thus gratifying their hate. In measure
American politics are controlled BY hates,
and animated. by revenge. When men are
successful 1t often follows that their first
act is 10 wage crusade Oh those in their
own party who exercise the freedmen's
right of prefcrring whom they please, and
for this they are sought to be struck down.
But such hates only show the littleness of
what are called great men. Hate of any
Kind is mean and cowardly, and oespeaks
little soul wherever it is cultivated.

A Strange Case.

A murder trial in England has recently

liability ST juries to convict innocent men,
even of a capital crime. In August last,
a laborer named Cornish was found muir.
dered near the City of Wells, in Somerset.
shire, his head beaten in with a stone, and
man named Bisgrovc kpeelipg beside him
The story told by this person on his arrest
was, that being drunk the night before,
and finding Cornish asleep on the ground
he had gone to sleep by his side, and on
waking had seen tall man in the act of
committing the murder. 1t was asccr-
tained that another laborer named Sweet,
and his mistress, woman called Drew, had
been in company with both Bissrove and
Cornish up to very near the time of the
murder. Both were arrested. The wo-
man being called as a witness FOR the
Crown, testified that she had quarreled with
Sweet, had gone with Bisgrove alone into
the field, and left him there with the sleep.

that he was in company with the deceased
little while before the deed must have
been committed He seems to have been
convicted because the jury wanted to find
a motive for the deed, and could not, find
one without dragging him in. They made
up their theory OF the murder, and not be-
