Tha Chief Justice has really begun to ftsl
eensitive about his health Last week 7 saw
the furniture drayB removing tho contents Of
hts pleasant city dwelling on street, to
transport them to his country-bo1. His in
tefigant and spzightly d&ugtter, Netsy, vii
kng1yi withdrew into his retiremant--fos the
Chief Justice is worshipped BY h,a family
and now We hear that he will mot be able to
open court next term. His tail frame has
been growing spare and lsnk Of late, his etep
had ehaku init. his eye looked to be Of paler
blue and hsd lost the Gghts inner and
extrinsic which mark the man still With
cs1eeI, hia lips ajar and hollow countcnanct
seemed to be content merely With air
and Light, and be to 1on down the avenue
like an invalid enforced to exercise. Neither
nlnble. nor yet Of graceful gait, he bad the
indescribhhle stamp OF ono who had never
served except to serve noblJ. His manner OF

Of viii to control one ege Lid and ole aide of
his mouth readily. but when ho did speak it
VIE with hin mild jest and 1epartee. Chase
was never eT1 IN thought or talk. He always
loved life, honora, ,and high socisty, but mil
evidence cut no depths into his feelings. He
night snher, but be could not retort. How
much the uittetly-aecused and latest ysars Of
liia Life have aaddened him, I do not know,
but am cert1ln that the confinement and
c.osei work OF his Juaticeah,p- hsva affected
him more Can we heax Of bus ilne44 without,
reproach, who rejected the latest appeal the
ovtr.wo1ked Jucgos Of his bench made TO the
better wagcs7 We madn tho Supreme Court
htoop to aue, and then rejected their pleA.
This Was mean and unworthy Of our natiou.

Chase has been u magnificent politician In
tho highest sense. The post he hAa reached
il this period Of apparent calamity ia the in.
and best inspired political party We have ever
tsd, chose him for the posiuon OF tho greatest
dignity, LEARNING, and conservatism. Our
most tllnstrlous magistrate conferred the
bouor, and Ill asseuted. He has added to the
previous high fame Of the tribunal by his
hive lmpeached him III Judge who will not

Were eurfeited and we're perpetually ahun-
ee,ed around the impeachment trial, his MS
jse.io figure arose like tho divinity Of the ODD
siitution, and his look was 1AW. The robet they
nocked and would have rent Is hAl1oWed to
us, because he wore it. He spoke fewer words
than any Judge ever spoke in 80 long q triaI,
and leaned neither to the right nor the left !;
but they did not want Judge Chase there
they wanted Judge Barnard.
Chase has been good, human man. neigh
bor, and t0wnsuan. He looked we'll with :
market-basket on his arm. He gave warmth
to tho victua1s upon his table- Wine Was
generous ard temperate with tho reflection OF
his faco. Church Was interesting when he At
tended it. He Has great ancou1a9er OF !
poor sermon, when be listened to 1t. He had
that courteous respect for all things which
| made them respectable to their weare1a. A
low fellow wanted to go around the corner
when be saw him coming. Even the Demo-
! cratic party felt that if It conld possesB this

better, stronger, deeper, more accomplished
men in this country, but none Of moro gen.
