DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHksE.-The
doatl OF Chief Justice Chase carries the mind
back 10 the inc piion of the Anti. Slavery move
ment as political elrment In the history of
the nation There were Aboliiionists before
his time, but 1t may bc said that, when he
Joined his fortunes TO the band of heroic spir-
us who were resolved to resist at all points
the encroachments of the slave power, the pO.
liiical iorce Of the movement began. From
mat time 10 the present he has been q con.
spicuous figure in all public affairs and,
whether MS Governor, Senator, Secretary, or
Chief Justice, he has on the whole, LETT clear
shining record. Grant that he was ambitious OF
the Presidency and that many OF his acts were
moulded upon that ambition tan ambition al
most nstpHrble from such stations as he filled,
the fact remains that he rendered tO his coun.
try great and memMUrable services Few ofuur
public men have been more highly or more
desevedly honOred. lie has now followed his
great compeer and colleague, Seward, to the
grave. Lis name, like that oi Mr.. Seward will
fill large space in the history OF the nations
most eventiul tphUch, and as the petty strites
and chickering's of politics shall drop into their
appropriate oblivion, his name will shine with
an Frightening lustrc.
We hope that the President will elect the
ablest and most distinguished lawyer aud iu-
rst in the land. to take the now vacant place
rs Chief Justice OF The Supreme Court,
some such man as William NJ. Eyurls, for
iustance,-and that, in making the selection,
no regard will bc paid to the paliry cOnsidera.
tions ol locality or party services.
