old school-house by auction on the 4th Of

THE DEAD JuRrur.

The death OF Chlet Justice Chase, al
though not a matter Of great surprise
owing to his protracied illhealth, will
cause profound regret throughout the
land. He was one Of our great men, and
in history his name will pass down as one
of great mind, brave heart aud unex'
ceptionable habits. He has been con-
spicuous in national politics for gem
GRAFTON, and with all the changes OF par
ties and rise aud fall Of factions he
maintained his consistency aud
integrity, as well as positions OF iniin'
ence and power under the Government.
Mr.. Chase has left his mark indelhbly
fixed on the history Of this country, and
the page containing his name aud ser
vices cannot be torn out without de-
stroyiug the work ITSELF Struggling
into prominence in Ohio, he occupied
all the honorable positions in the gift OF
the people of that State. AT the break
ing out of the late war Mr.. Chase natu-
rally took leading position in his own
section of country, and in strong antag-
onism TO the South. His craftsmanship
and great financial ability while at the
head of the Treasury Department prob
ably did more to settle the war issue
against the South than did the bloody
and often barren victories gained by
General Grant. He was man OF great
depth ofthought, combativei in argument,
and fine speaker. Possessing a fne
physique and n strong, powerful voice,
his political campaigns in Ohio in ante.
bellum days were so many oratorlcal
tournaments, and the opponent who Sc
cured victory over him in debate did
not leave the fields unhurt. His mind
was prominently legal in its tone and
tendency; indeed, he was a natural born
lawyer, and possibly better jurist than
advocate. As Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court his decisions on the COM
plex questions that so often arose IN the
great high court of the world were
marked by polite learning and deep re
search into legal lore. He was in many
respects fit 10 wear the mantle which
graced the shoulders of Chief Justices
Marshall and fancy the great lights ofthe
judicial department of the government.
Mr.. Chase politics were Northern, but
be was not an extremist when the war
was over" and his broad, comprehen-
sive mind would not permit him to
sloop to the littleness Of expressing
conquered people. In the South Mr..
Chase stood deservedly high in public
estimation, the people OF this section
believing that he was able. honorable
and honest, and it is but the truth to
state that the South regrets the loss OF
SO eminent an American, jGrist and
statesman.

The Situation at Ma. MartinsviIie.
d NEW IBERIA, La, May 7.-Couriers
arriving here from st. Martinsville this
evening report skirmishing all day but
with no serious results so far. N
General Badger came out Of town this
evening with his Napoleon twenty
FOUNDER and about twenty-five men to
compel the citizens to surrender, but ai-
ter firing few rounds was forced to
beat a hasty retreat, large bodies OF ciii-
rens being on all sides and rapidly
closing in upon him.
The citizens are in excellent spirits
and want for nothing. Wagons are com
ing in with supplies from all points and
long distances. Colonel DeBlanc can
capture the town at any time he feels so
but his object is more to resist
the Kellogg Government than to have
any blood spilled.
Several Metropolitans deserted to-day.
Large numbers of citizens are ready to
move when called upon.

GOING TO /" YURRUP.n

Going TO Vienna this summer will be
very popular, and thousands will go who
never have been in the habit OF making
such tours. The Exposition will un-
questionably be one of the grandest ex-
hibitions Of the worlds arts and iHdus-
tries everseen, and the representatives OF
every nation on earth will be there, and
the constant sightseeing will strain
every eye and tax the physical strength
of every visitor to its full capacity. Bot
this is not all The visit will be
a heavy tax upon the purse. The
hotels have already doubled their
prices, and everything to eat, drink
or wear will be sold at fabulous rates.
The Americans, when they go abroad,
usually have plenty of money and take
a delight in spending it in an ostenta-
tious manner intended to astonish the
natives 1t used to astonish them, but
they expect it now and go for our Amer
lean sovereigns like hungry voters after
new candidate. The disadvantage
under which they labor is that few Of the
native-born Americans understand any
of the modern languages except their
own, and not always that, and rather
than expose thsir ignorance they pay
whatever is demanded 1t is esti-
mated that there will be three
times as many Americans in Europe this
year as auy previous season, aud they
will pay pretty dearly foe the honor.
The only cheap item OF the trip will oe
their passage fare going and returning
across The ocean, and that will only be a
drop in The bucket. Those who are in
the habit Of z -ing may know how TO take
care of themselves. but the new ones,
who viii be ashamed 10 own that they
have not been across every year. will be
aeeeed ON every side They may try
TO look wise. but whenever 1t comes
to saving the Shibboleth they will be de-
teeted. Those who expect 10 have a real
pleasant time had better see everything
else in Europe before going to Vienna
and then come home without stopping
more than a day. All that the average
American cares for is to have 1t said
that be OF she was at the Vienna Expo
sition. We know a young man going
over who expects 70 stop up in the
mountains Of East Tennessee and spend
half his time reading the Vienna cores

nounced that the San Domingo republic
and the SANTANA Bay Company had

of the SANTANA Bay Company, IN &C
cordance with which SANTANA is declared
a free port, and is now in full force. The
SANTANA steamer Tybee is expected in
few days, when It is probable that
measures of considerable importance will
be taken by the Board of Directors.
The papers this morning contain long
obituaries on the late Chief Justice
Chase. All unite in glowing eulogies
OF his many virtues, and regard his death
as a national calamity. The Herald,
in closing a lengthy editorial on his
demise, says: 1t will be difficult
to find the measure of attainment,
legal experience and sound judgment in
filing the seat he has left vacant The
Supreme Court can only hope that the
President, in appointing his successor,
will endeavor as far as practicable to
perpetuate in our court of last resort the
Accomplishments and qualifications OF
Chief Justice Chase"

We are sorry to see that the reselu-
ton offered in the Board of Aldermen
yesterday, asking that every member OF
the General Council indorse individually
the notes of the city for the amount re-
CURED to pay all employees the sums due
them for the last four months, was not
adopted. The ordinance authorizing
the Mayor to borrow money for that pur-
pose on a mortgage of the city property
will not enable him to raise dollar, for
all property the city owns that can be
mortgaged is so already. Heretofore
Mayor johnson and his personal friends
had to indorse individually the city's
paper to raise money for like purposes.
The resolution, as we conceive, would
merely act as a check on the General
Council in appropriating the small
amount Of taxes thatare now being paid
in. The Board having power to control
these appropriations, would certainly
watch their own paper and hold them
selves harmless. Yet the resolution was
not even seconded. Where were those
fnanciers who have been bowling about
our city credit for the past month?
