Mr.. Murat Hastead, in letter last week from
New York TO the Cincinnati Commercials Gazette,
| says: "I understand II has been determined that
the remains Of Chief Justice Chase will be removed
| from Georgetown Heights TO Spring Grove next
| month, perhaps about the middle Of the month. The
death OF Chief Justice Chase occurred thirteen
years ago, In this city, and Dr. John Hall, who wal
with him at the last, preached the funeral discourse
1t was not practicable at the time to take the remains
| of the Chief Justice to Ohio His residence was In
| Washington, and Gov. Henry ID. Cooke, who wal
one OF his devoted friends rendered the use of hii
burial lot at Georgetown. The courtesy was highly
appreciated by the family Of the Chief Justice ant

been certainty In the mind OF Mrs. Katherine
Chase that her fathers remains should be removed
1t is not the design that there should be any parad

should be made funereal In character, or one o
formal pomp and snowy manifestation. Howeve
quietly such an AFFAIR were conducted, there cou,
not be avoided some indications OF public respect
The object ia that these shall be 80 regulated as
be dign1ed. and u follows, un06entatiouH, simple

gested that the public services incident to the re
