The Health Of Judge Chase.

1t is we'll known to the personal
! friends of Chief Justice Chase, and adj
| mltteu by those who see no object in
Keeping the truth from the public,
that the health Of that gentleman is in
very preearious condition. Nobdy
VINO has seen and conversed with Mr..
Chnse but admits the rapid advance
that age and disease have made in his
staiWart form and that powerful brain.
The truth is that the Chief Justice il a
confirmed invalid. Nobody knows IL
better than himself and none can
doubt itwhosee him now and who saw
him i'll his ripe manhood and grand in
tettect ten or fifteen years ago. He
daily takes his seat upon the bench of
the Supreme Court, but his appearance
Is wan and haggnrtl, his eye has lost its
lllster, his nerves are no longer steady,
and even his voice is falling. His mind
is stronger than his body. His duties
upon the bench are almost wholly me-
chanicat, as he no longer takes an active
interest in tho business of the court.
The drudgery and details of his Office he
has always disliked, and they have
been the most irksome that ever fell
to his lot in the long years of his varied
official life.
These being the facts I'm the Chief JUS
ticc's case, it is not strange that his
friends no longer speak of him AS a DOS
siole candidate for the Presidency.
He, himself, stated to a friend, not
long ago, that human ambition was II
dead sentiment to him. He has passed
beyond that. The Chief Justice is
comparatively II poor man. The $s5OO
which he receives AS n yearly salary, he
requires for his support. Can anybody
reasonably blame him for retaining
the place?-if, indeed, anybody does
blame him.--Ciocinut,ti Commercial.

Ohices for White Radicals and Emnt =
HOnOrs for the Negroes.

The Radical convention of ofticc-ltoi-
ders, which met ut Louisville IL short
time since to show their gratitude to
General Grant, who provides their
bread and butter, by endorsing the in
tegrlty, wisdom and success of his ad-
ministration, We're not forgetful of the
negro element, which forms so large
n portion of their voting force in Ken
tucky. Empty honors were cheap,
and an ebony cofored brother named
J. Is. Stanhurry, was nominated as
Assistant Secretary, and his selection
made unanimous, upon the suggestion
of the notorious John i. Scott. The
convention nalsoappointed three negroes
as delegates to the Grant Convention
at Phfladelpl,ia; but took care not TO
place any upon the central committee,
or choose any Of them as candidates
for presidential electors
The convention refused to pnss Il res
olution declaring that negroes "werc
entitled to an enquitable share in the
distribution of the oHices;" but "whip-
ped the devil around the stump by
adopting resolution offered by the
aforesaid j. l.. Scott, asserting that ne
groes "have equal rights before the
law and equal rights to aspire to all
offices within thegift Of the people, both

to believe that in Kentucky y the negroes

The New York Evening Post makes
the following complaints:
The worst result of the system bv
which the hcappointmcnts TO the military
academy at West Point are distributed
is seen in the tendency to make them
hereditary. Now, and for many years
past, II large number of the cadets in
every class have been the sons of Off
GERS in the army or navy. We notice,
in the list of "catlcts ut large appoint
cd by the President for the class enter
ing in 1873, that eight of the ten are
Sons of military men. These young men
will make :,S good officers as any other
young men would, and il this case
were not illustrative of the system of
West Point patronage we should not
call attention to it. But it is not well
to have even small class of citizens
come to regard government favors or
service as an hcrcdittry right; and
while we arc reforming the ciViI-scrvicc
we should provide for some form of
competitive examination by which our
military academy will be made entirely
free from favoriteism or patronage. The
quota from each State might be chosen
after an examination ut the capitai-
