i'm portant legislation of his day.
Though millions of dollars passed
through his hands he died omparatively
poor, leaving Edgewood. with its price
less associations, to his daughter, Mrs.
Kate Chase.
Mis,ortunes have come to her. Her
eldest daughter. Ethel Spragle. is on the
stage with Richard Mansfeld's Portia,
the second daughter has taken a position
as governess, Nettie, the youngest is an
invalid, requiring constant attention.
Mrs. Chase has been assured that in
case she is able to raise sufficient funds
to redeem the estate it will be again r. =
stored to her. She is now in New York
making an effort in this direction. She
writes to intimate friends in Washington
that she is almost exhausted. mentally
and physically, and despairs Of success.

ONE of the duties neglected by the
Republicans ~ of the General Assem-
bly, was the failure to pass the claims
against the State. The committees on
claims of both the Senate and the
House had passed upon the bills, and
the resolution affirming them was
passed by the House, and was held by
the Democratic chairman in the Sen
ate until after the prolonged joint ses-
sion on the 9th of May, and conse-
quently was never acted upon. The
Republicans like the innocent lamb in
the fable, accused by the wolfe, stand
ing above it, of string up the water,
are innocent of the neglect and had
no control over the matter, but with
Wolfe-like consistency the Democratic
press Of the State lays the charge at
their door, and inquiries with wolfsh
glee, When do you want another Re-
publican Legislature?
The same papers are asking, What
has become of the promised reforms?
knowing full well that no reforms
passed by the Republicans in the House
stood the ghost of a show Of
passing the Senate. Perhaps some of
the Democratic papers will explain
why the Senate killed the workhouse
bill! 1t would be interesting to know.
The Senate not only failed to pass
the claims against the State but it also
failed to approve the bills it had con-
tracted, and the salary Of its members
and employees, as recommended by its
committee on accounts. They were
paid, however, whether lawfully or
not is not stated, bat it is known that
the clerk to the committee on divorce
received $4,000 for services, when the
agreement in committee was for
$175.00. This looks like little pecu-
lation or speculation in the State funds |
that our friends, the Democratic edi-
tors, might explain. Don't all speak |
at once.
