CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE ON THK COME.
DERATE DEAD.-Uhief Justice Chase,
while holding court in Raleigh, North
Carolina, in 1869. was invited to partici-
pate In the ceremonies OF decorating the
graves OF the Union dead at Magnolia
Cemetery. He wrote in answer letter
embodying sentiments Of forgiveness and
fraternity with the Confederates. and
was taken to task for it by Mr.. j. E.
Williams, president Of q national bank
in New York. to which he replied, re-.
iternting the sentiments expressed in the
original letter: he said:
sit is that true patriotism requires
that the close Of great civil war should
be marked not by prescription or dis
reimbursement, but by manifestations of
sincere goodwill, especially from the
successful TO the unsuccessful, and by
generous recognition OF whatever was
really brave and earnest and noble in
those who fought on the failing side. I
have no sympathy with the spirit which
refuses to strew flowers upon the graves
OF thu dead soldiers who fought against
the side I took: and am glad to know
there was no such spirit among those
who joined in decorating the graves Of
the soldiers Of the Union who lie buried
at Magnolia Cemetery. The Magnolia
lavishes its perfumes freely, the pleasant
air breathes as softly, and the warm snn
shines as brightly over Confederate as
over Uaion graves. In the letter which
has incurred your cehhure, sought to
put into the hearts OF my countrymen
something OF the divine charity taught
by the tree, the air and the sun, as we'll
as by the precepts Of our Saviour. Ibe-
lieve it has done some good, and I be.
lieve it will do more"

The grand jury in the United States
Court, Charleston, made long present
ment. Tho presiding Judge refused to
receive the same after it had been read
in open court by tho foreman, on the
ground that it was irrelevant and beyond
the scope Of the duties OF the grand jury;
they then retired again to their room,
but after further consultation, lasting
about q half nm hour, they came back
into court and asked to be excused from
making any presentment. which request
was granted by Judge Bryan. The jury
presented nearly everything, including
the court officials.
A Massachusetts, woman appeared at
the shop where her husband was EN-.
ployed, short time ago, and apologeti-
oally said: "Jim is not we'll. You must
excuse him from work to-day. He and
I had little difficulty at the breakfast
table this morning, and he won't be able
to work this week."
Richard Grant White, in his "Words
and their Uses," expresses the opinion
that market gardening is an occupation
as honorable ns literature, and more
profitable.

CONFEDERATE WHITES or REPUBLICAN,
BLACKS. The Philadelphia NORTH An,e-
rican, leading Administration paper,
says:
"The President vas discouraged from
making tour through the South this
season by variety Of circumstances
There cannot be doubt that such visit
might have been productive OF much
good; and the more sensible people of
the South, both Union mon and Confed-
crates, had begun to look forward to it
with interests. But as it became evident
that his visit could only be successful
under the patronage Of conspicuous Con
federates, it was considered not advisa-
ble. We cannot doubt that the mass Of
the Southern people would hove re-
ceived the President with sincere re.
spect, but the conflict and prcjudices of
races would have either left him entirely
surrounded by Confederate whites, or
wholly in the company of Republican
blacks, and in either case the effect
would have been unfortunate"

These facts give an idea of the interest
that is concentrated on the sick couch or
the death bed OF Plus TX.
But there is one watcher OF this death
bed who is entitled to special considera-
.ion. It is the King of Italy. He has
long wished for the death of the Pope;
for the Pope kept him long out of Rome,
on which he set his heart, and now thnt

Rumor hath it that Amadeus is en-.
gagged in writing a history OF his reign in
Spain. The World. that never suspected
any literary ability in the scion OF Victor
Emmanuel's family, will-without being
over zealous-be apt to imagine in the
. lazy manner which conviction brings, as
P$o who will be the anthor OF his ex-
Majesty's coming work. II Amadeus
wishes to raise his reputation for COM
mon sense. he will pay special attention
or direct his author to do so. which will
amount to the same ,thing-to drawing a
contrast between his wisdom in resigning
the Spanish throne when he first scented
danger in the air. and the fool-hardy
reoklessness of the late Maximilian,
when he laughed ut popular clamor, and
died like hero and king in defence of
his throne at Queretaro. The contrast
is as strongly marked as anything in
Plutarch; and people. and the papers
have been talking about it since F-bru-
ary last.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN MACON, GA
An awful accident occurred at the main
building Of Mercer University, Tuesday
afternoon. Five workmen were stand
ing upon ecaffold, engaged in erecting
a cornice on the fourth story. Suddenly,
aud without a moments warning, the
sceffold gave way, preoipitating three
white men aud two negroes to the
ground, distance of sixty feet beneath.
Three Of the men-all the whites-were
instantly killed, and one Of the negroes
mortally wounded. The remaining
negro is badly injured, but may recover.
The bones OF the leg of one man we're
broken and forced through his shoes.
The spectacle presented BY the bodies
was siokening and horrible. The names
Of the three white men are james 8.
Glovsr, Of Chicago; John Race. of
Philadelphia, and VIM. Proctor. OF
Macon. They were, as stated before,
instantly killed. The entire city is ap-
palled.

SCIENCE AND -RADICALIsM. 1t seems
that scientists who expect favor or pre-
serment from the Radicals must mould
their scientific theories in accordance
With the opinions and the creed Of the
dominant party. The eminent natural
list. Agassiz. desiring an appropriation OF
$50. 900 from the Legislature OF Massa-
ohusetta to, aid in the establishment OF an
extensive museum of comparative zoolo.
gy, has had the measure bitterly opposed
BY the Republicans, because the profess
sor was charged With having stated that
''the blood of the negro is, chemically,
different auid from that which COWS
in she veins OF white. men," He was
charged with maintaining another heresy
in asserting that the whites and negroes
were not descended from common
steel. The professor has promptly
abjured the blood theory, and says there
is no difference between the "Auid"
which flows in the veins OF Hon. Pinch
back and that which courses through
the system OF our Smoky Cm,ar But
he is not disposed to surrender his OPT
Mon relative to common descent. He
still insists that anatomy proolaims, and
in no uncertain language, that the two
races sprang from different sources, and
that the dusky skin and marked features
Of the African is not the result OF climate
or accidental conditions of life. Unless
'-the learned. professor retraots. or the
Republicans become less exaotipg, the
chance for obtaining the appropriation
is slim, and aciehoe will languish in
: Massachusetts for some time to come.
