Cakes Ames Dead.

Cakes AmeS died on the sth. ut his
home i'll EaSton, Mass. from Il palalvtic
attack which seized him a few DAYS he
fore. He followed Brooks in the course
of week or more. They were aSsoci-
ates III the censwe 10y Congress for
completely in the Credit Mobilier affair.
and it is a most singular circumstance
that they were so nearly united in THEN
departure from the >trites and pcrplexi-
ties of life. An exchange has the an
neXed notice of Mr.. AmeS:
The Hon. Cakes Ames was born in
Easton. Mass. january 10. leOl. His
education was quite limited. us his early
life WAS spent in bitter struggle with
poverty, and while still IL boy he learn
ed the trade of shovcl-making at the
forge. With his native sagacity and
shrewdness, Mr.. AmeS soon rose to the
top of the ladder. From laboring sin
Gle handed at Il small forge, he became
the owner of vast manufacturing cStah-
lishments, with hundreds of employ
eeS. and the Ames shovel and agricul-
tural implements are known all oven
the earth. OF late years Mr.. Ames was
largely concerned in railroad enterpris-
es, with one of which is connected the

COMING HOME TO ROOsT. The
vacancy in the s. Court, hy the death
of Chief Justice Chase, is unfortunate
for several members of Congress who
would not persist in declining seat
once occupied by Chief Justice Mar
shall. They are rendered ineligible To
hold the office. by constitutional pro-
vision. on account of the increased sal
airy bill during their terms of office. We
are sorry this happens Just so. for other
wise Vermont might have had repre-
sentative upon the bench of the highest
judicial tribunal of the land.

- The Illinois legislature has Just
passed another railroad bill. regulating
tariff of freight and passenger fare. 1t
furbids railroad companies, under spec
flied penalties. from discriminating be
tween customers OF eXacting more
than a fair and reasonable rate of toll
for the transportation of passengers and
freight of any description, or for the use
and transportation of any railroad cars
upon the main or branch lines, but also
empowers the State Board of railroad
and Warehouse commissioners to fix
and set forth schedule of maximum
freight and passenger rates. This sched-
ule, when fixed and set forth, Is to he
binding both upon the companies and
the courts. And now the question Is,
what will the railroads do? 1t is more
than minated that they will quietly
acquiece and regulate the expense ofrun-
ming trains, so as to enable them to run
on more economical plainly taking
off express trains, palace cars. cushion
ed seats, &C.. and refuse to run freight
cars only when they are filled. If they
will abolish the use of Directors cars
and put the officials upon mcushi"ned
seats. no one else need complain of I'M
cushioned seats.

tS If our Newport neighhOr thinks
the Central railroad unwarranted 10y
the proofs elected ut the investigation,
we enter our demurrer. The CdledO-
nian gave simply leading points devcl
oped in the case, and none not fully
sustained by the proof. Mr.. Davenport
noticed the same in his speech before
the committee. with additions, and the
ST. Adams Messenger, whose editor re-
ported the testimony, admits that he
gave Il fair construction to the evidence
in the case. The CdIcdOnidn feels an in
terest in the progress of enterprises in
Vermont. which the Central power has
tried to defeat, with money belonging
to its stockholders and even this un-
warrantahle Use of the funds is not the
UOrSt feature III the case. Diminishing
the main question for the present, we
will only add that we entertain a better
opinion of the Express than to think it
has any words to utter justiying a cor
poration in feeling 80 or 30 members of

subordinating them to always work

Salmon P Chase,

Whose sudden death at New York.
WAS announced in the last fdtedOhidn.
was one of the prominent men of the
country. His death WAS caused by a
paralvtic stroke, Monday morning, at
the residence of his daughter.-he sur
viving the attack some over twelve
hours. but all the time in an uncon-
scious condition. He was born i'll Cor
pish, y. H.. Jan. 10. 1-O- graduated ut
Dartmouth College in the class of le:!s29
He became teacher III Washington
city, and afterwards studied law with
the celebrated orator. William Wurt.
In $3.50 he settled i'll Cincinnati, Pur-
suing his chosen profession of the law.
About the wear $50 he was elected [.
S. Senator. and WAS Governor of Ohio,
for the term of two or three years, lcav-
ing the office in 1859. He was appoint
ed by President Lincoln to the place OF
c.,.,uar. "r Tire treasury, Wnl,h "m,'
he filled till 1854, when, i'll October OF
the same year he WAS appointed Chic
Justice of the Supreme Court, as the
successor of Roger b. fancy.
In ls6O, when Mr.. Lincoln was nom
mated for the Presidency, Mr.. ChaS,
was an aspirant for the office, and ha,
been ever since, and was 50 overcome
with the desire to become President
that, forgetting his former consisten
life and political principles, he bid to
the Democratic nomination in lc6S
and also for the Cincinnati nomination
in June of last year. He was sadly dis
appointed that Mr.. Greeley was nomin
ated and he was not. Yet, after awhile
he endorsed the nomination.
Like some other men who had gone
before him, Mr.. Chase's fame was cloud
ed by his ambition. 1t is Il madness
this ever burning aspiration for the Pre-
sidency -incomprehensihl and cspec-
iallv so when il >cizes men of large in
tellects, and whose lives have before
exhibited honest purposes and consist
ent principles. Ii Is not. however, ;il
anomaly. in this country. lllustli"u,
men have had this madness before Jus
tice Chase. Justice Chase was one of tn,
eminent men of the country, and was ;
power in the early struggles of the peo'
pie against the extension of slavery
Most men have their peculiar weakness
and Mr.. Chase was not an exception
but man whose memory is neverthe,
less to be held in high esteem.
