CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE IN RICHMOND -
The Richmond correspondent of the ''Her
all' telegraphed the following interesting
facts connected with the visit of the Chief
Justice to Richmond
Chief Justice Chase arrived here this
morning, but he docs not come to preside
10 the Circuit Court, as has been erroneous.
" stated in the Associated Press dispatches.
His visit here at the present time is purely
friendly one to, Bradley 7. johnson, at
whose residence h. is stopping, and his
object is to overlook the manuscript OF re-
ports Of his decisions i'll the courts of this
circuit since the war, which have heen pre-
pared by General johnson. and are now
nearly ready for publication. The Chief
Justice called upon Governor Walker this
morning, as an act Of official courtesy which
he bought due to the Executive of the Oh
Dominion. Du'ipg the call quite lengthy
conversation took place on national affairs,
in which the leading topics of interest were
discussed. Governor Walker thought the
tariff and tree trade would be the leading
questions 10 the West, and that the support

would b the strongest issue that could be
made by the Democrats in the next cam
paign. He thought if that party had the
irmness to discard and throw overheard all
asprants for Office who favored the increase
Of Congressional salary aud to nominate new
men pledged to abolish that increase, they
