Manhattan Island was In grief The weather sym.
pathized with the painful thoughts which were rife
among all classes OF tho community, and the feeble
attempts OF rain rendered the day dismal bleak
and dreary. While the body Of the dead jurist was
being prepared for the imposing funeral, to take
place tomorrow, almost every tongue was sound
ing his praise, fame and spotless reputation
People could hardly realize that the last Of the
great statesmen Of the period Of emancipation had
passed away-that Chase could live to do no mere
acts OF benencence and humanity; but
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wther At the north winds breath.
Thou hast ali seasons for thine own. o Death
AMONG THE c0LoRRD POPULATION
the expressions OF regret were many and sincere.
They recognized that q man who had fought for
them the battle OF their race, when that race
needed defenders was no MORE
The partisan journals which had pursued Chief
Justice Chase with bitter criticism after his eleva-
ton to the highest judicial post in America saw
the sunny side OF his character alone. His de.
famers became his encomiasts, his rivals the eulo-
gists OF his public and private life
Envy pnrsnes ker ike some bird Of prey;
Envy herself is glad to be at peace.
Seldom, indeed, has the memory OF any Amer
lean statesman been the theme OF SO much
DISCRIMINATE PRAISE.
Lawyers and judges remembered him as an up
right and dignined Jurist; as possessed OF a CON-
mandpg presence, clear and eminently judicial
mind and calmness OF reason and an inGe xibity
oflogic that never yielded to the vulgar intimida-
tions OF the mob. Politicians said that while he
swayed and welded them he never descended to
the lower planes OF partisan tactics. Bankers re-
called the early days Of the war, when Mr.. Chase
AS SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
made his appearance In Wall street, beggar for
$500, 900, with which to 1oat the credit of dis
solving Union. They spoke OF him as the founder
OF new system OF finance, as one who, with mar
veIlous success, had responded to the call OF
'Money money !" as Stanton aid to the demands
for fresh levies. Christian men found that he had
been man OF piety, and gentlemen that he was
model OF urbanity and grace in high positions, too
often soed by an exaggeration OF republican SIM
plicity. 1t Is safe to say that ne great Ameri-
can OF this century has won, as he closes
his career In death, such universal ap-
plause. 1t is only at the brink OF the grave that
the American people have discovered that Salmon
p. Chase was too great q man to be President OF
the United SrateR As men arc ordinarily judged
he was hardly measured yesterday; and though it
Is dtfcult to define the grief Of great nation at
the death OF her favoritc son. 1t seemed az II the
figure Of Destiny were weeping that the statesman
and jurist had but one life to live on earth. ld
