II any one has had n lingering hope or
expectation that Chief Justice Salmon
r. Chase was yet within the pale Of the
Republican party, that hope must be
abandoned, and the matter definitely set
tied in the ncgativc, lay his late utter
ances.
ma letter 10 the late Mr.. Nallandig-
ham, he says "You have rendered great
services to your country and tho party :;
and may God bless you for ii" What
the '.scryice' rendered to the country
was,-in view of the position this North
crn Rebel held during the war,-may
perhaps be question bnt there is no
doubt but that Mr.. Chase meant 10y "tho
party" the Democratic party. For he
goes on to state that he believes the ''ncw
departurc'' is intended to restore the
Democratic party ''to its ancient plat
form OF progress and reform
The Chief Justice has been since sim
teryicwed" at Cincinnati, where he told
the newspaper reporter that he did not
think the new departure was ut all en-
danacrcd by the death of Nallandlgham.
lie considers the Nallandigham platform
one on which the honest, patriotic men
of both parties can come together, and
thinks it will eventually be the nucleus
of new party. As to the next prcSi-
DENTAL election. he said he thought if
the Democrats nominated good man
and put him on the new departure p lat
form, they would carry the day.
Farewell to the departed Greatness OF
Salmon Il. Chase. The champion Of
the Republican party in lis early days,
has become sourcd, and is as far from
the organization to-day as jeff Davis is.
Whether the Democratic party will ac-
cept Of Mr.. Chasc's bid for the nominal
ton ut their next Presidential conven-
ton, remains to lie seen. 1t is possible,
but not probable. Neither party cares
to accept candidate for It's standard
bearer. who exhibits such suhScrvicncy
and itching for the place,

qua to See II.

In the recent conventions of both po-
litical parties in Ohio and Iowa, it was
formally resolved that it is wrong for
Congress to donate the public lands for
building railroads--that they should be
kept and disposed of to actual settlers.
1t is time that this wholesale system
Of rlnnderinG tho public by giving the
public lands to corporations should be
discarded. In certain instances the
public GOOD has doubtless been promoted.
to some extent, by these donations, but
private individuals, spectators, have
seized the lions share and become rich
thereby. 1t l., therefore, time that lcgiS-
lation, in this respect, on the part Of
Congress, should cease.
The corporators, and such rs became
proprietors of these lands in connection
with charters for railroads, have, in somt
if not in all instances, watcrcd the stool
Of the corporations and put it upon til,
Misunderstanding two dollars in stock tol
one actually paid in. Large stories arr
then toll of the number OF acres held b,
these corporations, or represented by tn
stock therein, and the public invest, no
aware in many instances Of the fact tha
80 per cent. of the hundred dollars the
pay for stock is mere >ham--ihat il!
par value is really only fifty dollars
Thus the spectators double their money
and the purchasers of the stock will b
lucky il they ever find their money re
turned 10 them.
If there is money to he made in thcS
lands - inasmuch as the people owl
them, the government should dispose O
them and allow the avails thereof to @
into the national treasury, that the bur
dens Of taxation may he iessenci. W
are, therefore, glad the people of tn
West are taking the position referred to
and it is to be hoped that Congress ma,
hear the same uttcranccs from every sec
ton of the country.

ier was at first their objective point from
st. Johnsbury. But Montpelier. think
ing The project perhaps chimcrical nr too
costly, did not respond. They then
turned to the Lamoille Valley, and found
friends. They resolved not to commence
construction till they had secured stock
subscriptions to the amount of SO, 900
a mile. Such subscriptions were made,
and that without help from any large
town. The people on the line had sab
scrib,d 81, 200, 600 for 100 miles OF road.
And they had no reason TO repent Of
their a=lion. The value OF their proper
ty was already enhanced. New business
was springing up along the line, and IN
due time they should publish some figures
of the business and traffic on the route,
which woul surprise all. This link,
from Cambridge to E,seN Junction, was

eral policy with which it is identified is
so plainly seen to be the settled purpose
of the country that the Northern Demo-
cratic leaders are eXhortin@ their party
to contest it no iongcr. 1t is the policy
of the Republican party, indeed, and not
especially of the administration but I'M
der this administration it has become so
firmly fixed that the enemy despair. If
this be true, it certainly shows how thor
ouGhly identified with the principles and
and purpose OF the party the administra-
ton has been. We do not FORGET the
deep Republican discomfort with the adj
miStraiion of Mr.. Lincoln in the middle
and toward the close OF lis first term :;
and we believe OF General Grants rs of
Mr.. Lincu!n's that it will Justify itself
more and more TO Il reasonable inv'7ti-
cation. jlCLV.

CURE FOR CANCER. - Considerable
excitement has been occasioned and much
interest felt in the reported discovery OF
a cancer remedy. We understand that
it is vegetable found in South America,
called, Cunlamgo, and that it was first
brought to the attention of our govern
mcnt by the Ecuadorian minister
Physicians are disagreed about the eili-
cacy Of this new remedy, but the news
papers assert that it has proved ciiIcaci-
Gus in every instance tried and that
letters pour into the State department IN
such Numbers, from parties all over the
country, asking TO he supplied with cum
dcranao, that the department is obliged
to reply that the limited supply Ct the
vegetable has been exhausted. We trust
there is no quackery about this thing, and
ii not that the department! will secure a
supply at once, that the sufferers by this
dreadful disease may test its efficacy.

\ New DANGER FOR GRANr.-A
Grant and Cameron club has been form
ell in baltimore, and the Pitt>burg Com
mercial asserts, ~ n fact within lis per
sonal knowledge, that the last named
gentleman is GOING in for tie second
place on the republican ticket. In that
case, the first named owes it to himself,
since sclf-prescrvation is 4 natural duty,
TO disentanglc his political fortunes from
those OF his friend. Simon may be a
very good fellow to talk Pennsylvania
politics or 90 trout fishing with, but he
is not exactly the style OF person for a
man to take into partnership who wants
another term i'll the White House. Tie
firm would go into bankruptcy before it
had fairly begun business The honest
republicans OF the country have made up
their minds about Mr.. Simon Cameron.

they did for Mr.. Reuben T.. Fcnton in
1865, whenever he chooses TO give them

An INSANE WOMAN Suur.-An un-
known woman, about 20 years Of age
was murdered near Glasses station on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
tinore railroad, fifteen miles northeast
OF the latter city, Saturday morning, by
one OF party Of men who claim to have
mistaken her fer 4 man dressed in wo-
mans clothes, who had been proving
about the neighborhood for some time,
stealing poultry, etc. She was first seen
on Friday night, when she was acting
suspiciously, and early on Saturday
morning. a party of four white and two
colored men found her sitting on bank
beside the railroad track, when one of
them, named Joseph League, shot her in
the forehead, killing her instantly. The
woman was neatly clad and of laly-likc
appearance, and it is supposed that she
was insane and had escaped from cuSto-
dy, The murderer has been arrested.

\ LEGAL Decision. Barnard,
of New York, has made Il decision of
some Importance to many people. 1t
is, that Life Insurance Companies at the
North are liable upon the policies held
in the southern states. During the war
they were suspended, and, as we have
understood, forfeited, by the insurance
companies-thcrcby adding largely to
their assets. This decision makes them
GOOD, and the companies liable, and,
therefore, must cause quite a reduction
IN the surplus capital Of such companies
as have accounted the forieitures as such.

of Alar.hiield, which should prove a new
incentive to every man TO meet his pecu-

reason for his suicide, as given was com.
ing home from IIardwick, his horS,

neCtion with the fact that he was disap
pointed in the payment of some money
which was due him and had been prom

CRUELTY TO ANIlIALs-Mr Bcreh
has just male his annual report of the
operations of the "Socicty for the pre-

which it appears that the society has OBJ
tanned 3l2 convictions during the year,
turned out Of harness and sent home
over 900 lame or otherwise disabled
horses, or mules, and removed in lis am
balances 12O injured horses from the
streets to their stables. Since the cstab-
lishment of the society in 1866, over
5000 horses, poor, worn out, lame, or
otherwise in an unfit state for work,
have been turned Cut OF harness. Apro-
pos Of the breaking up OF Kit Burns

1t has pleased heaven to remove from
