UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUST—IN BANKRUPTCY, - Before Judge Blatchford, In the matter of Andrew Beiser, a Bankrupt.—In. this case a bill of injunction has been filed by John Sedgwick, assignee of the bankrupt, against William Menck and Charles B. Bostwick, receivers over the bankrupt estate. It appears that Belser was adjudi- cated a bankrupt in January last, and that Mr. Sedg- ‘wick was appointed assignee in the following month of February; that in 1857 Andrew Reiser, the bank- rupt in this present case, being insotvent, executed ‘to Willlam Menck certain assignments and convey- ances of property, and that Menck, from that time to the bankruptcy of Beiser, did receive and possess himself of ail close species of property so conveyed by Beiser, to the amount of about $20,000, ‘and that ~he (Menck) _ still continues’ to De in the possession and control of the entire of that property so conveyed. ‘That the as- ‘signee is ignorant of the manner in which the dispo- sition of this property is made by Menck, and there- ore claims a full discovery in answer to his bill of complaint. It is further alleged by the complainant ‘the assignee in this matter, that the assignment an conveyance referred to were all fraudulent in fact ‘and void as against the creditors of the bankrupt. assignee claims that ail the perty 80 con- Lassigned in 1857 or afterwards should be ‘ed to him by William Menck, to be distrib- ‘uted amongst the creditors of the bankrupt, On the siate of the facts set out in Mr, Sedgwick’s Statement an injunction was granted. The case now came before Judge Biatchford on application to mod- ‘ify that injunction, and the Judge denied the motion. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS.

No cause for the commission of the act was reported. A CONFIDENCE Dopaz.—A man named Martin Moran, who resides at Spuyten Duyvel, came to this city yesterday and purchased a ticket for a passage to California in the office of a company in Robinson street. While in the office he was accosted by a gen- tlemanly looking man, who informed him that he had learned that he (Moran) had engaged passage for California and thathe would like Pee him to take care of some blood horses that he desired should Teach that State in safety. Moran expressing a will- ingness ito take care of the horses the anariger told him he would give him $40 a month, besides $3 a day as extra compensation for his trouble, He then took Moran to a house in Leroy street and borrowed $240 from him, and told him to wait outside until he should return, handing him his pocketbook, at the same time telling him that it was but right that he should have some security for his money. He then re-entered the house and did not again make his Sipesranse. Moran, after wait- ing quite a while for his newly made friend to come out, began to smell a mice, and opened the pocketbook that had been cn ‘im, when, to his utter consternation, he found that it contained thirteen $6 gold (@) pieces and a check on the First National Bank, payable to the order of Wm. B. Hen- derson, for $2,800, and purporting to be signed by Jean Valjean, and a sight draft payable to John T. Hen- derson for $250, and apparently signed by one Wil- kins Micawber, A ROMANCE OF THE SEAS, Particuinys of the Wreck of the American Ship General Grant—The Survivors Living on the Auckland Island Eighteen Months Upwards of Twenty Lives Lost. We gave in our marine columns yesterday a brief account of the frematkable loss of the ship General Grant, Captain W. H. Laughlin, of Bostoii. ‘The fol- lowing additional particulars will be found highly interesting:— The General Grant left Hobson's bay on May 4, 1866, bound for Loudon, From the 4th to the 1th she experienced light westerly winds. The weather being very foggy, « lookout for land was kept on the izth, The last observation was taken a littie after eight o'clock A.M, on the 11th. On the 13th (Sunday), atabout ten o'clock in the night, land was sighted on the weather bow. The course steered was east by north, wind about northwest. The watch baow Was instantly called upon deck. The yards Were Squared away to clear the vessel from the land. She bore away southeast for about half an hour, and then was hauled up again to the eastward. Half an hour afterwards the Auckland Islands were sighted right ahead. The vessel was then hauled on the port tack, bat had hardly steerage way. The wind was light, and there was a nasty short seaon. She ‘stood on the port tack for nearly two hours, and dur- ing this time was setting bodily towards the land. The land on the lee beam looked like a fog bank; the wind had fallen away to adead calm, and the vessel became perfectly numanageable. What was in his power to do the captain aid, but in vain, for a heavy southwest swell was forcing her nearer and nearer to the fatal rocks, At about one o'clock A. M. the vessel struck a pro- Jecting rock and broke part of it away; she then shot astern to another point, which carried away her spanker-boom and rudder. By this time the man at the whee! had had several of his ribs broken. The two the entrance to a cave nearly three hundred feet deep. Into this cave the vessel slowly canted, surrounded points of rock which the vessel had struck formed by dark masses of rock, and with twenty-five fathoms water under the stern, They held lamps over the bulwarks for the purpose of ascertaining their con. dition; they could see nothing around and above them but savage rocks, against the sides of which the water was plashing sullenly, and on which there ‘was scarcely footing place for a'bird. Royal mast, topmast and lower mast came down, one after another, bringing down with them masses of rock which tore the deck to pieces, Then just before dawn the mizzen topgallant mast came down with @ crash. Notwithstanding the terrors of the rh the ngers: it, passe were orderly and watchfal; but it may be imagine says one, “iow We eagered for the first streak ol light.” The General Grant possessed three boats, two quarter boats, each twenty-two fect over and and a long boat, thirty feet even feet bea At daylight one of the quarter boats was launched over the stern by means of a spar rigged for that purpose, and in this boat were three able-bodied sea- men, who were eventuaily saved. (It is asigniticant fact, however, that of these three men, one died some montis afterward upen the island, and the other two started with the chief oficer for New Zealand in January, 1867. No tidings have been received of them, and their fate is almost cer- tain.) Iron (for an anchor) and rope were placed in this first boat, the mission of which was to see if a landing could be made outside the cave, and afterwards to return for more passengers. But from some cause or other the boat lay outside the cave and did not return. The second quarter boat was then taune! in her*were placed about tons of boutlii and some beef and pork. The captain, who aid his duty nobly, intended to despateh this boat, with women and ‘children, to the fret which bed fone outside the cave; but his intention was in some Way frustrated. The boat was filled with men and one woman, Mrs, Jewell, the stewardess, who, in being lowered from the ship, fell into the sea. Ler husband jumped in after her, and both were saved, and are among the survivors. There was heavy running and the General Grant was sinking last. Many of the passengers got eres witich was lying on the quarter de ing cargo wer but they had not gone a bun. dred yards before the sea broke over the boat and filled ‘her. Of the struggling passengers only three we aved.

They had been unable to procure any Wood for a fire, and even if they had they would have hesitated before risking their last match on rocks where it would have been fipossibie for them to live. They were obliged to keep on their oars all night so as to pre- vent being blown off the land. About noon of the 15th they entered a place casied North Harbor, bat they did not think it a fit refage, so at daylight the next morning they started and again = an reached Port Koss. There they camped aad set about the anxious task of lighting a fire, in which they were fortunately siecestal. The fire they lighted that evening ‘Was not allowed to go out for elyiiteen months. They eaugiit two or three birds, gathered a few limpet andl these, with @ tin of bouilli, were cooked an heartily enjoyed by the poor shipwrecked peopl The next day they discovered some old huts, which had, doubtiess, afforded shelter for other sufferers, r id gathered limpets and killed four seals on the ach at Enderby’s Island. They saw some goats, but did not succeed in catching any.

They ship. an jovem!| hey had an agreeable variety in their food about this time in the finding of some sea fowls’ eggs, and they uae ona rusty axe in the stump of an old tree directly in front of one of their huts, Then, begin- ning to be worn out with hope deferred, they deter- mined to make an effort for their own deliverance. They fitted up one of their two boats, decked her over with seals’ skin, provisioned her with seals’ meat, about thirty gallons of water in seals’ gullets, the flesh of three goats and about twenty dozen of cooked eggs. The names of the crew are given below. On the 22d of January, 1867, they started, .with- ont compass or nautical instrument of any sort. They thought that by steering east-northeast they would make New Zealand. This was an error, a3 the course should have been north or a little to the west of north. At the time of the start the wind was southwest, but on the first night it shifted to the northwest, with rain, and blowing very hard. Those who were left upon the land were very hopeful of a successful result to the venture of their comrades; but five weeks passed, and then they knew that in all likelihood they would never meet their comrades again in this world. There is one hope still, The boat may have made Campbell's Islands, which are about one hundred miles east of the Aucklands. February passed and March. In the latter month they found a stave on which was written in charcoal, “Minerva; four men, one officer; Leith, May 10th, 1864; March 25th, 1865.” April and May pees by, andthe men had almost given uj hopes, but they gathered a great pile of wood, ready to light as a sig- nal in case a ship were seen. In the month of June they caught a small pig; they xept her for three months and then they killed her. en occurred an event which occasioned much sadness. On the Sd of September old David McLellan died. He had worked with them and suffered with them, Jt was like losing the chief part of their dying hope to lose aos - He was buried in the sandhill on Enderby sland. About this time they were very well off for food. They succeeded by meuns of an ingenious hook made Ut ors hall lash polt in catching a number of pigs, and they found som Wild potatoes. They sent adrift the inflated biadders Of the pigs, attached to which were slips of wood, on w.!/¢h Was written an account of their sad condition, in the 8op4 of some ship picking one up. They also made small boats of about three feet in length; they attached to each a heavy piece of iron so as to turn tne little craft by the stern, to keep her before the wind, and cast them out upon the waters, On the deck of each were carved all the particulars of the wreck, Nearly despairing and yet clinging to the hope, growin fainter day by day, of being rescued, the little ban lived off, adopting every means within its power of assisting in its own deliverance. THE DELIVERANCE. On the 19th of November, 1867, more than eighteen months after the wreck of the General Grant, the man on the lookout saw a sail. The signal fires were lighted without delay, but the smoke did not appear to attract notice. On the 2ist the brig Am- herst was sighted, running from the south along the east coast, The boat was launched, was observed from the brig, and the suiferers were taken on board. It is almost needless to say that they were treated by pe eee Gilroy and his officers and men with kindness and consideration. The joy of the rescued sutterers Was great. “Words,” says one, “cannot express our feeling of joy for such a deliverance from hardshij and privation during a period of eighteen months,’” They were taken on to Southland, New Zealand, where they were hospitably received and provided for. OTHER PARTICULARS, Ata marked tree at Port Ross two slate tablets have been left, with the following inscriptions:— “Sacred to the memory of sixty-eight persons, who lost their lives by the wreck of the General Grant, on the morning of the 14th May, 1806, on the Auck- land islands.” “sacred to the memory of Bartholomew Brown, chief officer; William Newton Scott, A.

The Amherst has started from Southland to search for the missing boat. A steamer is also to be de- spatched from Meivourne, Victoria, It is stated that a vessel has sailed from Melbourne with the intention of endeavoring to recover the gold and cargo of the General Grant.

On last Thursday Mr. Eldridge by a ches @oruvre gained an important strategical position, which compelled the enemy to change his base.

It is as eagerly looked forward to by the ladies as is the glorious Fourth of July by Young America, or the 4th of March bya newly elected President of these United and disunited States; and should the weather prove fine we antici- | pate not only an immense gathering of rustic mil- liners and modistes from our inland cities and pro- vinclal towns, but also a goodly turn out of stately elegantes and metropolitan belles, There are myriads of charming and unique trifies (!) awaiting the critical inspection of the ladies of our deaw monde, and doubless the entrancing bliss that will bo experienced by them in the serene contemplation of such soul entrancing objects as Vandyked and scolloped cloaks, Spanish mantillas, mantilla bon- nets and bonnets d va diadem will be only equalled by the delightful pleasure that will be afforded them when the approaching genial weather permits them to disport in the bright sunshine arrayed in these same “trifles,”’ better known as “fineries.” Amaze- ment and surprise will greet them at every new turn, and marvels of curiously wrought patterns and specl- mens of fairy workmanship in ribbons, silks, laces and flowers will pop out from every gloomy nook and corner as if at the bidding of some necromancer’s wand, to captivate the heart and dazzle the eye, while countless tongues rapturously echo the inspir- ing refrain of “grand !” “magnificent !’ and “beau- tiiul!” Our mantuamakers and milliners to-day, if never before, will be all attention, politeness and condescension, They will not only obligingly ex- hibit their commodities, but will feel grateful to you for examining their various articles; even if they know you are not inclined to make a purchase, they will at least endeavor so to persuade you. Sacques and cloaks thgt were originally invented to keep out the cold, but which are now curtailed and slashed up the back and sides, we presume to let the cold in again, will be tried on, and taken off, and praised, and condemned, while charming “airy nothings” in the shape of bonnets will pass from hand to hand amid such exclamations as “perfect loves,” and “lovely ducks,” which we take for granted means something superlatively grand. The close propinquity of the vernal equinox to the spring opening is too palpably unpleasant for pleasurable anticipattons, but we have escaped the storm nicely this year and everything now augurs favorably for a most auspicious day. The French have a neat saying to the effect that March is the month of tempests, of sermons and of concerts, which saying we might appropriately adopt with the very expressive addition that it 13 misc {24 manth of “fyss and feathers.” No other month in the year brins such Inexplicably sweet and welcome tribula- tion aud botheration to our caterers of fashion, nor witnes: ch a vast amount of importing of foreign laces, ri ns and feathers; and, besides, ‘opening day’ must always occur in March, But the harmony and unanimity of other days has in a measure de- parted, and the petty jealoustes and discords at present coreing among our modistes came well nigh obliterating the time honored feast of the vernal opening, This deplorable catastrophe, however, we are glad to say, has been obviated through the better {isemens and the amicable understanding arrived at some of our leading militners, and we trust that mext year all of their sup- posed grievances will be buried’ in oblivion so that we may at least be vouchsafed one grand gala day of fashion out of the three hun- dred and sixty-five that we devote to fighting life's capricious battles. Some few independent openings have come off from time to time during th» past week, but what is known as the general opening will be held to-day, and will be kept up until to- morrow evening. The following are the names of the establishments that will hold openings to-day:— Broapway.—A, T, Stewart, Lord & Taylor, Jack- son, Gaynor, James J. Higgins & Co., Mme. Rall- ings, Mme.

Before proceeding to describe the new attractions we will indulge in a retrospective glance in the “glass of fashion” and ascertain, if possible, what has been transpiring during the past tweive months. During that time everything has been subjected to altera- tions and improvements, (!) and in many instances “trifles,"’ that were affectionately admired have been discarded altogether, From head to foot trans- formation ts discernable, and it is not venturing too much to hazard the prediction that, should the pre- sent delectable order of change continue at the same rate for another twelve months, that by the end of that time we shall be scarcely able to recognize our- selves. Cloaks, perhaps, have undergone greater transmntations and alterations than any other article of female wearing apparel. They have been cut and hacked and siashed into every conceivable style, until there is hardly a semblance of the good ‘old wrapper left. The shape of this article, and the sieeve, have not escaped the wholesale dissecting which latterly obtained such a mischievous freedom. But, to be just, we must admit that the new styies are remarkably handsome; and are evidently a8 com- fortable as they are pretty. For indoor’ toliettes we have somewhat longer trains, and walking dresses have been percepUbly lengthened, The skirt is sill gored, is a8 long, a8 narrow and as close fitting as it was during the winter. Evening toilets during the year sulfered from time to time severe and very unheaithy scoopings ont in the front and back; but we are glad to see that high corsages and open sleeves of tulle are now being introduced, Crinoline, too, has had its day, and is fast being su- perseded by smail jupons of puited haircloth or of merino, with only afew steels at the boitom; even these, itis thought, will in time give way for the Stately “bustle” of ancient fame. Where the skele- ton skirt still retains ita hoid it has-been altered toa plain front and puiled-out sides, in imitation of the poniers of the Jast century; and this brings us to a Subject upon Which we Wish to say a few words, Fashion, never content to let well enough alone, is continually sighing for change and varict cecds very seidom in startling the world by offering to her devoted and enslaved worshippers anything that can be jusily termed new. When all else fails she dives into the dusty depths of bygone ages; ran- Sacks past and forgotten centuries for new, yet old modes, and by a few trifling alierations or ad- ditions here and there passes them off upon her biind votaries as something novel and interest- ing, In this enlightened age we are apparently hun- dreds of years behind hand in matters pertaining to dress; and as for styles, we Americans have never yet and probably never shall have one in either mil- linery or dresses that can ever conscientiously be dignified with the title of “original.” Neither here nor in Burope can modistes create or invent; they can but imitate and copy. We see this in the pres- w .—$—$— ent styles, for it seems as though all the old fasion. |e for centuries back are being consulted to ena- le our enterprising milliners and mantuamakers to get up something new(!). The present dresses are exact counterparts of those worn during the reign of Louis XV. of France; and we have only to call attention to the Marie Antoinette fichus, coiffures, dresses, mantles and slippers to show that we are not keeping pace in this branch of the “industrial arts” with the advancement of the age. Most as- suredly the walking dress of our modern belles, the flowing open sieeves and bodices as low as decency will permit, give to tlrem an air and outward resem- blance to the grandes dames who flourished before the Frencn revolution, So much by way of review, now to present actualities, Taking them tn their Oa order, our first subject must necessarily be BONNETS, There is probably no article of a lady's toilet that #80 completely captivates the female heart and calls forth such rapturous praises as the innocent, useless little bonnet. Useless we say, and we mean it in the strictest sense of the word, for they can neither keep out the cold nor keep off the heat; and itis somewhat doubtful whether or not they are even useful as articles of adornment, Why bonnets should possess such an unconquerable influence over the hearts of the fair we have never able to discover, except it is that most women are fondly attached to perishable things, and the more frail the object the deeper their love for it and the stronger their attachment, Should thts prove to be the patent reason we bid the ladies rejoice, for bonnets have at last reached the ne plus ultra of fashionable delicacy, for it will be almost linpossible for the extravagant follies of ribbons, straws and laces to be carried further, except the ghost only of the article in ques- tion is to be retained by Reusing the strings over the head and ornamenting them with a small tower or Wisp ofgstraw. A wondrous transformation has taken plac® this year in bonnets of every descrip. tion; but the pleasing satisfaction still remains to us of knowing that we are retrograding ina very handsome manner. A short time since we had the “Marie Stuart shape,’ and now, havin rolled along with a commendable velocity throu historic ages, we find ourselves face to face with the bewitcl ly graceful “ Marie Antoinette,” the pics turese panish mantilla or casqvette, and last, but not leas “Coronet,” or “Dini Yet we ven- ture to assert that none Of these bonnets bein vogue a year hence, siuply be What is néeded for comfort or F z aE i : immings. enlargemen' E ‘what there 1s of it—lies more in the trimming, which ig very elaborate, rather than in the bonnet itself, Veils may be sald to occupy the place where once the shelter! a prot the back of the head and neck, and “Coronets” now pleasantly fill that meaningless void that always between crown of head and front of bonnet, For summer wear the incoming styles are in themselves the handsomest and lightest, if not the most becoming, with which we have been blessed for many long years. They to be sure, very eccentric in many respects. But what of that? Precisely the same thing has been thought and said concerning every innovation brought about in the modes by her moody dameship, fickle Fashion, CLOAKS. Cloaks, like everything eise this year, have been subjected to radical chan and in some respects the change has been decidedly for the better. They now include all sorts of shapes and sizes, from the extremely long. to the extremely short, and are scol- loped, and pointed, and slashed up the back, and gor out at the sides, and tarned over in front like the lappels of a coat; and, in short, are done up in every variety of style that the ingenuity of an invent- ive mantuamaker ever devised or the genius of Iudi- crous fashion ever conceived. Bugle trimming has here, too, given place to neat, narrow bands of satin and silk, and herein lies the change that was most desirable. After three years of general use it is now cast aside for the lighter and far more economical and certainly more tasty trimming of the present day. Satin and silk are better adapted for summer ornamentation, and are more easily replaced and kept in order than bugles, which every one knows were continually, Stopping off, thereby presenting Jarge, unsightly interstices to the eye, that give one an unenviable air of sloveniiness. We are forced, through want of space, to defer a fuller description of bonnets and cloaks until to- morrow. MOURNING Goons, ‘There is an increasing demand for black, and that color is destined to become as fashionable in New York during the coming season as it wis in Paris last month. Mourning goods this spring are more than usually elegant—the light summer fabrics SeperiAe: 80. Several novelties have recently made their ap- pearance in this particular line, among which the la- rege Hernani is the most noticeable. 1t is double twisted, open mesh, of silk and wool, generally two yards wide, very heavy, and is worth irom three to six dollars per yard. ‘The canvas Hernani is of simi- lar material and manufacture, but of a somewhat coarser texture, which latter is regarded as making it all the more stylish. Under the designation of “cloths” we have the “Tamise,” a heavy, wide mate- | rial of sik warp and woollen filling; the ‘“Henri- etta,” consisting of twilled silk and wool; the “Bis- marck,” of a heavy black hue, and the “Parisi- enne,” which latter, more properly speak- ing, is a poplin. Fortunately, custom, which ig fashion, does not dictate that these ex- quisite sombre colored materials shall be reserved exclusively for mourning, so that Jadies to whom that color is becoming may ™?ar them with- out any sad necessity compeiin’;, ‘There is nothing new in the way of serges or silks, “gros erain” and “foulard”’ still belp® ‘the favorites in demand. In poplins there 3° Tne checkered and plaids of ail sizes and varieves, from the large showy squares to the smaller neat patterns that were so popular some years ago. Then, for a change, there is the “alpaca Poplin,” the “chene,” of Lyle thread and wool; the “pongee,” an exquisite silver gray, which may be had in every shade, and also in black and gray stripes, which ar@very beautiful, especially for travelling purposes; and finally the “granite poplin.” Some very beautiful designs in cainbrics, piqués, percales, have made their appearance with the ad- veut of spring; the white, with black stripes or small bouts! being considered the more fashionable. For break‘asi and neglig¢ toilets we have had nothing in the same line for Years that could favorably com- pare with them. The stripes vary from an eighth of ‘an inch to one and a quarter in Width, the broader ae not unfrequently being traced with vines and lowers. Mourning veils for spring and summer wear are of the masked or round paitern of Brussels lace, with tabs at the back, the latter gradually widening to- wards the ends, which are invariably rounded, and both veil and tabs are trimmed with lace and crape. ‘The heavy English veils are still regarded with favor. Some exceedin, ly pretty mourning collars, with crape folds and fluting, of the Shaksperian style, but not very extreme in depth, are also to be met with, The “horse shoe,” or round collar, formed of rouleaus of crape, still hold their*own, however, and are likely todo so for some time yet to come. For widows plain deep crape cuils, and collars to match, are fashionable, but others in eS can wear white puifed cuffs and collars, without black trimming of any sort whatever, and these are very stylish and pretty for deep mourning. Many new patterns of handkerchiefs are coming in vogue, and nearly allof them have solid black borders of every conceivable design. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. Chase and the Presidency—A Pronunciamicnto Through a Chase Organ. {Frem the Cincinnati Daily Gazette—radical Chase rgan—March 23.] organ— That many leading men in the democratic party are serious In their talk about nominating Chief Justice Chase for the Presidency on the democratic ticket is not to be questioned; but -that this has been done without consulting the views of the Chief Justice, we are abie to state, is equally true, To use Mr. Chase as the candidate of that party would require a radical change in his principles or in the principles of tie men who now represent the democratic party of this country. ere is, of course, no ground for supposing that Mr. Chase would surrender his life-long principles for the sake of the democratic nomination, or even for the sake of an election, Neither 18 it to be supposed that the democratic party will slide upon a republican platform in order to secure his acceptance of a nomination, The talk, therefore, only shows the desperate condition of the party. Had 0) ey any well grounded hope of success under any other leadership Mr. Chase would be the last man in the country they would look to. In the approaching Presidential campaign there will be two overshadowing issues—viz., reconstruc- tion and the finances. In regard to the first, we may say that the strongest desire of Mr. Chase's lite is to see the Southern States brought back on the general policy of the present Reconstruc- tion laws, one of which Jaws he framed. The only difference between Mr. Chase and tie republican members of Congress on this question of reconstruction was with reference to the military Jeatures of the laws. Upon this point he has not ‘changed his mind, but in all other respects he is in strict accord with the republican party. He is now, as he always has been, a strong advocate of impartial sugrage, and if we could suppose it possible to secure for him a nomination in the Democratic Convention, it would be neces- sary for that party to adopt the Reconstruction laws of Congress, with the exception of the military fea- tures, and including negro suffrage. Those who believe that the democratic party are bg 4 to make this forward movement and plant them- selves squarely upon republican principles may tak with some show of consistency about the Chief Justice ax the candidate of that party. One thing is certain, and for this statement we have the highest authority, that if the desaocrats run Mr, Chase they must come ta him, and stand upon his latform. tie will not go to them, Jn regard to the nancial question Mr. Chase agrees in the main with the Eastera portion of the democracy; that is to say, fe is in favor af paying the dedt honestly, as was” intended when tt was created, and of observing In good faith every ledge Matte by te vernment to itsereditors. He js in favor of appreciating the value of greenbacks, and not of depreciating them by a Surther issue; and when greenbacks shall, under his policy, become equal to gold, then the ‘ill be no question about the kind of money in which the debt should be paid. Thé policy of the Western democracy, however, ig radically diferent from this; and if Mr. Chase should be nominated as the democratic candidate the Western inflation and repudiation would have to give way to the policy to which we have re- fe It may further be stated that Mr. Chase has given no encouragement whatever to the leaders who have been using his name in this connection. Tf, however, the democratic party should nominate him on his ‘own platforin, the points of which we have indicated, HE WOULD PROBABLY ACCEPT, though he has never said as much, The public who may kuow the character of the aemo- cratic leaders and the principles they are con- tending for can judge from what has been sald as to the prospects of Mr. Chase becoming a democratic candidate for the Presidency. If he should by any Ag el be placed in that position, the only issue in the approaching campaign would be simply that of men; virtually the platforms of the — and democratic parties would be the Georgia Politics. ‘The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, March 21, learns that Jeading and influential friends of Judge Irwin and of Judge Reese have been in consuitation in Atlanta with a view to bring about an agreement by which one or the other of these distin- guishec gentlemen may be withdrawn from the gubernatorial canvass, The Chronicle has good reasons for believing that a compromise can and will be effected “by which the friends of these gen- tlemen throughout the State can be brought into per- fect harmony, and thereby secure the certain defeat ,Of the negro candidate and preserve the State from the corrupting induences of the Bullock-Biodgett negro ring.” E rr er rere a ~~ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. — Married.
