MORE OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND NEW
DEPARTURE. - Chief Justice Chase lay over
for a day or two at Cincinnati on his way West,
whittier he is now journeying in search of re-
stored health 4 reporter took advantage OF
the delay to interview Mr. Chase, and his re-
port seems to be a semi-official public mani
festo of his views Briefly these are: That
the new departure movement will go on,
notwithstanding Mr. Vallaudig hams death,
till it covers the whole country; that it is q
platform upon which the honest, patriotic men
of both parties can come together; that the
people want peace and amnesty, and the nom
inee for the presidency on that platform ought
to stand good chance of being elected Gen.
Grant, according 60 this conversation, is per-
haps the strongest republican available, but a
good deal that is said about bis collecting the
revenue and paying off the debt, Dir. Chase
thinks, overlooks the fact that the credit OF
collecting belongs to the Secretary of the Treas
NY and the credit Of paying belongs to the
people who do it.

A Hint to Lot-oWners.

II AA1V w AOJ-UWuCIS.
In walking around the less frequented streets
Of our city, we have been painfully impressed
by the want of proper neatness on the part oil
property Almost every back street
and alley and unoocupied lot is overgrown with
thistles and weeds Now is the time that
these pests are Towering to produce seed which
viii soon scatter itself on the wings of the wind
into every garden and lot in the town.
To obviate this evil we venture to suggest
to every lot-owner to have all the weeds on his
premises, and in the adjacent streets and alleys
carefully extirpated The labor of doing SO
will be small matter to any one, and the re-
suits will be, in a high degree beneficial
The appearance of the town will be greatly i'm
proved, and will impress strangers much more
pleasantly.
Let u.s. then, have general declaration of
war on the thistles of every description. Ac-
tive operations, by all the lot-holders for one
or two hours, will rid US of this pest, and as
this plant is an annual, we shall soon be per-
manently relieved Of it.
Generally, ''what is everybody's business is
nobody's business Let this be an exception
to the rule. If each person will dig or cut out
all on OR adjacent to his lot, the trouble will be
small, and our town will be effectually cleared
of great nuisance.
The fall elections throughout the country
will be looked upon with interest, as giving
some indication of the result when the great
contest for next President comes on. 1t is well
not to number chickens before they are hatch
ed" and not to make predictions as to uncer-
tain events-but we confess we have strong
hopes and belief that these indications will
generally be favorable for the success of the
Democratic and Conservative party in their eff
fort, under competent and patriotic candidates.
to bring out a new departure" in the admin
istration of the affairs Of the general govern
ment-and effect a return of constitutional
principles peace and prosperity.

showing how many minutes there are prior to

reads, mails open in thirty minutes" one
minute later it reads, in twenty-nine minutes, -

station it reads, this train leaves in ten min
