Chief Justice Chase,

Chicago Journal NsD York Letter.
Chief Justice Chase has como 10 New
York to spend the winter, He, along
with his daughter, has taken rooms in .
pleasant neighborhood just out OF Filth
avenue. Though In feeble health, he e
able to walk about the house, and occas-
ionally upon the street. He receives calls
from bis old political friends, and is quite
cheerful. II Is very plain to see, how
ever, after few moments conversation
with him, that his present physical pros.
tration Is source Of no little unhappiness
to him. lie seems 70 have abandoned oil
idea OF attaining the Presidential chair,
feeling that his health would never permit
of his accepting o nomination, should one
DO rendered him. In case the bill con.
tinuing the salaries OF judges reslgning
because OF III health should become q
law, tho Chief Justice will probably re.
sign. lie feels that he has not enough to
support him in good style without his
continuing to draw revenue from some
source. lie Is, however, worth about
100000. Though l am by no means an
admirer OF Judge Chase OF 1S6S.70, l can
but admire his integrity. Probably no
American ever enjoyed d better opportu-
nifty for making o colossal fortune than
did Mr.. Chase when he was Secretary Of
the Treasury. But he made no more than
his salary, and rs late as q year ago he
did not feel that he could afford q horse
10 ride to and from home in Washington,
He has always been tremendous worker.
This was particularly tho case when he
was at the head Of the Treasury DEPART
ment His brain was over.taxed, and, in
fact, 1t has been ever since, The rela.
lions existing between him and tho Presi-
dent arc ofa friendly though not intimate
nature. A marked characteristic In
Judge ClasC's character Is bis power Of
retaining tho regard and friendship OF his
personal followers. When, two years
ago, he was ready to go into the Tanma.
ny camp, these old friends, aboltionists Of
the striCtest sect, were ready togo along
with him. Now heis constantly receiv-
ing visits from whilom Radical friends,
who call to let him know that they still
stand with him politically, wherever that
may be. i.fl

Wednesday morning, about 8 o'clock,

upper portion of thestannery Of Gottleib
Meister, out Green street, in what is called
Fultonburg, Immediately the alarm was
given, the people reused, and efforts made
TO stop the progress Of the fire; but all
without avail. Owing 10 the infamma.
bic nature of nearly all tho property
around, the flames spread until the entire
tannery and contents were destroyed, In
Guiding Mr.. Meister's dwelling, over 300
cords Of bark, $4,000 worth Of finished
leather, and the engine, stock aud tools OF
the establishment The night was very
calm, else the fire would have extended
as there were frame buildings adjoining
the tannery on either side. As it Is, Mr..
Meistcr's loss is estimated ut from $l5,.
900 to 100000, and tho insurance is only
$1,000. Thus in m instant, rs IL were, is

"a REBEL CEMETERY"

Some Of our Republican exchanges
are making much ado over an item IN
the Legislative appropriation bill Of
$1,000 for the further improvement
and decoration of the Confederate
cemetery at HagerTown. And where
fore? The Legislature very cheerfully
voted three times that sum fer the Get.
'ysburg and Antietam cemeteries
where rome but those who wore the
hlqs' received decent iutsrMsut.
Why should they now howl \, an ex-
peudi'ure Of 81. 600 for the proper
burial ofthn,s Of our sons Whe died
while wearing the gray?" 1t is u
matter Of fac. tha, there are fully as
many. If not mora West Virgiuisns
buried in the Confederate cemetery at
N,gsr,toxu than at either or bo:h Of
the places named above; aud yet osr
loyal friends hesitate net to psy large
sums for the former. but Indignantly
r.fnse TO do anything for the latter.
Why make ,bi. Discrimination as to the
proper burial Of men who gave up their
live. for wha, they conceived to be
right? We're they not all usn and
West Virgiuians? Because one side
was overpOwered, does it follow that we
SHOULD not accord to their dead de-
sent sepulchreI Out upon such out
rageous doctrine! Show as 4 man who
can cherish hatred for tue dead. aud
We will show you fsud, monster, L
,sulpyre!
But let US reverse the matter for
Vi, a poor rule tina, wont work both
ways. Suppose th. Federal armies
had been defeated. and the COOteder-
stes gained the day What then
would have been the feelings Of our
legal neighbors to have ,oeu the bones
OF their brothers. Ions and friends scat
tered they not where; while 4 tax
should ku collected to erect monuments
conmemoratlng the glorie' OF their
eonquerors
This appropriation was defeated-it
was stricken from the general appro-
priaiien bill when the votes Of Demo
cratic members could have Kept it
there And We cry shame upon the
first Democratic Legislature Of West
Virginia in allowing this fact to e."
upon the record Thousands for the
succcs,ful--not one cent for the unfsp-
tunate What new era OF Democratic
sentiment is this We have fallen upon ?

but des'I-oh doni-tax the whole

At least two.thirds Of the legal
voters and taxpayers "f the State would
have endorsed the action Of the LNgis-
lature 10 passing this appropriation
ths same number will not forget the
