How Many months more the outlay must continue no one ventures to reckon, but it seems likely to go on until no more paper money can be got into circulation or watil foreign Powers interfere authoritatively. mine debt of Brazil upon the ist of May was as fol- WH: Foreign debt (payable in gold Internal funded debt (currenc; ‘Treasury bills (interest notes). 000,000 Government paper money 41,000,000 Various deposits...

However, in maki up the liabilities of the Brazilians, we must keep in mind that their gov- ernment debt represents very nearly the whole public debt, as there is only a trifling “State debt,” and no county and city debis at all, so that the $27 of gov- ernment debt would not be a heavy burden to bear by 10,000,000 of an industrious nation like the United States; and If the debt were funded to pay seven per sent 9 Brasilian funds and treasury bills now , an income of $55,000,000 would enable it to pay way and return to the blessing of a gold currency. ‘The total of the paper money circulating in the empire was on May 12 about $75,000,000, or about 7 60 per head, against $22 50 in the States, Of the 76,000,000 of paper money $44,000,000 is govern- ment issue, and $21,000,000 bank issue, which is being it the rate of five per cent per annum by government currency. The revenue of the ending year is estimated at $33,000,000, and that of 1869-70 at $36,500,000, in con- sequence of the new taxes voted last year. This latter sum should have a surplus of over one million dollars, if no extraordinary calls be made on it through further expenditure on account of the war, which’of course there will be. A healthy sign for the future, however, is that the revenue of the country {s steadily increasing, and might be in- creased remarkably by the simple process of im- proving the means of locomotion by making the mule roads into cart roads, and putting small steam- ers upon the great number of navigable but unnavi- rivers of the lands fringing the sea coast. In Brazil, contrary to the United States, the inter- nai trade is of little value compared with the foreign trade, ‘This last amounted in 1806-7 (last haif of 1866, first of 1867,) to $150,000,000, of which rather more | | ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. than half was exports. Of the $74,000,000 exported, the United States took $15,600,000, being exceeded by only Great Britain, which took $14,600,000, In the importa, however, the United States had only the @ixth rank, furnishing 0,000 out of $71,700,000, the importation Brazil consisting chiefly of dry goods and articles of luxury which It obtains from Europe.

It affords a wide it those general c! which are go difficult to meet and it saves the y legislator from the toil an Teaponaibiisy, of imitating and defending propositions of his own begetting. One of the measures to which the Emperor alludes: in his speech—the law of recruitment, as drafting is here cailed—has already been reported on by the committee. According to the present law, all under thirty-five not belonging to the National Guard and not students of colleges or members of certain pro- fessions are subject to be put in the pad unless ex- open by certain conditions of family relations. The bill reported pi ses to form a standing army by drafts by ballot those between eighteen and twenty-one who are not graduating at coll: or faculty or are not boarders in public seminaries or coll Substitutes to be allowed, not money ex- ep lons. Freedmen are to be exempt from draft and are not to be received as substitutes, the motive for this being the non-offending of the prejudices of the freedmen. In case of war the draft may include all from seventy-eight to thirty- five. No mention is made of altering the National Guard, and it will therefore remain on its former footing as a distinct organization. The bill is un- doubtedly an improvement of the present system of “recruiting” the standing army, but it will not escape your notice how 1 ously the committee provides for exem) all but the ‘base mechanic- als” from the burden of the ‘tribute of blood’? by aid of the excepting from draft students and juates, who in this country comprise the totality of the fouug men who are able to exist without worki! for their own living at the age in question. The bill will become law, as the parties affected have no voice in the matter; but it cannot be doubted that the effect of the law will be to throw commerce, trades and manufactures still more into the hands of foreigners, and to aggravate still further the already existing evil of the enormously disproportionate number of half starving drones and ‘ industrials” who, as doctors of law or medicine—know nothings in all the senses of the word—loaf around the cities or are hangers on to their wealthier or more indus- trious friends. A series of letters has been appearing in the Diari do Poro, the liberal organ, which are under- stood to have been written by am officer of highrank at headquarters in Paraguay. The burden of them is unmitigated criticism of the Brazilian generalis- simo’s tactics and despatches. Heis described asa charlatan, utterly ignorant of strat and of the art of besleaing, and who does nothing but little ineffec- tual operations designed to cheat the people into the belief that he is doing some- thing by the aid of deceitful despatches. The writer states plainly that the fall of Humaita will really be nothing but the commence- ment of the real war, and that, instead of Keeping forty thousand men idle encamped around @ fortress defended by two thousand men, Caxias should have masked it, while with the majority of his troops a Sherman march could without dificulty have been made, which would have swept the coun- try and left the fortress to fall through exhaustion of supplies, As it is now Lopez has been enabled to organize new lines of defence, new armies, new stores, and to arm his works with cannon drawn at his leisure from the besieged fortress, even while the Brazilian General had six irop-clads above Humaité, which should have been capable of preventing even a man passing the Paraguay, let alone sixty-eight and 120 pounders and huge droves of cattle. Yet there are still Brazilians who believe in the Marquis of Caxias. The com- munication which connects Humaita with the re- mainder of Paraguay above the allied positions and outposts, crosses the Paraguay about the centre of the semi-circle of water batteries of Humaité just where the three chains pass to the long, sandy spit opposite. A wide and od road runs up this long tongue of land, sweeps out of range of the Brazilian gunboats until it reaches the work called Timbo, situated twenty miles up in a swampy situation, upon a piece of biuif scarcely emerging from the river running by, in which work are mounted about fifteen canuon. From this fort the road passes through the swamp; country on to the Vermejo, somewhere up whic! tributary of the Paraguay the ferriage again to the other side of the Paraguay is effected by the Para- guayans. As for Some reason the six Iron-clads have not been employed to cut off the ferrying of supplies at the latter place, Caxias after a long deiay set about intercepting the communication bo occupying a position across the spit of land, in suc! mi that with the aid of the gunboats on each side of the position no further opening would ve left to reach or leave Humatta, On the gvth of April some 1,200 Argentine troops were landed on the Chaco, just out of ran, the lowermost river battery of Humaita, and they set to work to cut through the brush in the directién of the Paraguayan road. The Brazilians were to land next day on the opposite side of the spit, nearer its point and on more open ground. The Brazjlians met a warm reception; but being covered by the pe of two iron-clads, they were able to secure their land- ing and throw up temporary defensive works close to their vessels. They were not allowed to remain long unmolested, for next evening troops from Tunbo attacked them in a most gallant and deter- mined manner, rushing at their works with the bay- onet, but unable, under the heavy fire of musketry and grape, to dislodge the Brazilian troops. While retreating, however, they came upon a portion of the Argentines, who had reached the road and were reconnoitring. The Paraguayans at once charged and the Argentine legion broke at once and was badly cut up. Next day the Brazilians advanced to the road and united with the Argentines, foliowed the road to- wards Humaité until they came to a part of the spot where two lakes stretched across it almost to the river at both sides, leaving @ position between them covered in front and rear by these natural defences. There they threw up works covered by abattis, with the entrenchments ranning from the ends of the lakes to the river at each side, and monitors lying on the flanks to aid in the defence. More troops were brought, as an attack was anticipated, and, in fact, the next day (the 4th of May) the Paraguayans from above, in a force of about 2,500 men, attacked the ition on the Bra- wilian side, where the fronting lake receded further from the river. The Paraguayans assaulted again and again with the extreme of bravery, but uselessly; the advantages of the defence were too great to be overcome by them, and, after leaving, it is stated, a sixth of their number dead behind them they aban- doned the fruitless attempt. steamers come tn since the regular packet we learn that the Paraguayans had made no further attack upon the allied post across their road to Hu- maitd, which, being held by five thousand men and protected by cannon, may be considered impreg- nable; but they had sought to cut it off from commu- nication with the other allied forces by throwing up works between them, and that in consequence there had been two or three small affairs to prevent their operations. A bombardment of Humaité by the allies was still sel from the lines and two or three bomb vessel ut it does not appear to amount'to much, and the Paraguayans in garrison seem to trouble themselves very little in regard to it. Lopez is arming women, and letters state that he has already four thousand in arms upon the Tebi- cuari, undér the command of his amie, Briga- dier Generaless Eliza Lynch, the spunky Irishwoman who is said to be the real ruling spirit of the war, the management of which is virtually in the hands of her two brothers, who manage all, as Lopez ia re- presented to be a pompous incapable who has a noly dread of bullets and steel. General Mrs, ch’ headquarters are in the rear of the princi; ford across the Tebicuari, the immediate defence of that nd being entrusted to Lieutenant Coloneless rguerita Ferreira and aj Anita Gill, with their commands of women, while a division under Coloneless Herreiro ts posted so in flank the invaders, who might back Mmes. Ferreira and Gill. omen are also charged with the duty of guarding the country and forwarding supplies to the male camps, the principal one of which covers Villa Rica, at which are Lopez's great internal arsenals. Thus the disputed story of the Amazonian nation living on the south side of the great river Amazonas is about to be realized upon the great river of La Plata, and the world is going to see men and women pitted against each other by so-called civilized nations of South America, Strange Delay In Ascertaining the Result of the Presidential Dainty Stores Sent to Headquarters=The Operations to Encircle Humaita=Affatrs in Uruguay—Latest from the Seat of War, BUENOS AYRES, May 14, 1868, It fs a singular fact that, although the election for President of this republic was held on April 12, a month ago, there 1s no one who yet knows who was elected, It is said that the electors in favor of Sar- miento were chosen in all but three of the provinces; but in spite of this it is declared that the candidate who received the votes of the three provinces will be the President.

Two places of defence are now ready on the river to suc- ceed each other if need be, and for certain to succeed Humaité, place is now well surrounded and the siege is well begun; but the garrison, five thou- sand strong, are so defended on the land side by swamps and from the river by chain cables, strong batteries, and torpedoes that, after three years’ threatening and many months’ bombarding, they do not fear much from the allied fleet. It is said that they have provisions enough for two years in the fort.

The Ministers were on the eve of resi , but withdrew their resigna- tions that force might settle the question. The gov- ernment has called out all the forces it has and is levying troops and enlisting men. All the available men have been sent to meet Perez, and this leaves the capital so exposed that fears are entertained that the Blancos, the ia a last put out, will rise and cause a revolution. Ings are in a very uncertain state there, . LATEST FROM THR WAR. On May 1 the allies made an effort to cut off sup- plies to Humaité from the tongue of land opposite the fort, and succeeded in throwing a line of pickets across. On May 5 a regiment was going along care- lessly and met a few ‘ans, who resisted a while and fell back, when a strong force fell on the allies and left but one man to tell the tale. All were killed, wounded or missing but one officer. Next day the allies resumed the offensive and met 3,000 men, when a hotly contested Sngagement began, which is claimed as a victory by both sides. It was in the Chaco wilderness, and the allies own to having lost 400 or 500 men, and they report the Paraguayan loss at 800. Of this we are to recetve confirmation. This battle shows one thing certain: Lopez will not allow the Chaco to be occupied with- out @ strong resistance. The allies have fortified thetr lines over there, and that may be the chief seat of the war as long as Lopez cares to hold Humaita. Business is reviving. Wool has advanced in price.

BUENOS AYRES, May 14, 1868. Yesterday Governor Alsina, of this province, opened the Legislature with a speech that rung with its cen- sures of the present war. His message, which I send you, 1s an able documeéht. Killing is about over for this year, as cattle grow oorer towards winter. They have been killing one jundred and twenty thousand per month. Now they begin to work with sheep, as they are in good condition and very low in price. Congress will open on May 25, after which, it is sald, President Mitre will repair to headquarters, un- less detained by articles of impeachment. VENEZUELA. General Monagas Violates His Compact— Sketch of That Leader—Arriva! of Falcon at Curacoa—His Defeat at Coro, Ovracoa, W, 1, Tune 7, 1868, Al predicted in my last letter, there are as yet but few signs of peace in Venezuela. The compact patched up on the 11th ult., of whicn I have already given you the details, seems, in fact, only to have embroiled matters worse than ever. On the 3d we learned that General José Tadeo Monagas, having re- fused to abide by the “agreement,” was marching from the eastward on Caraccas at the head of three thousand men. His headquarters were last at Guatrie, whence he issued a proclamation calling on all classes to join his standard, and couched in the tremendously grandiloquent terms characteristic of South American proclamations. He disclains, however, all intention of seizing the government, but states thatit 1s his purpose to protect Congress and keep the peace of the country until an election can be held to choose a new administration, In the meantime the oppositionists generally, finding them- selves betrayed by Rojas, accept Monagas as their leader, he being now the only one possessed of any ape of either name or force. General Monagas is an old revolutionary patriot of Bolivar’s time, and is the same who, when President in 1848, by a coup @état dispersed Congress, that i being about to inpeach him. For the last twenty years he has been living in retirement. He is now about seventy years old, a man of no very great ability indeed, but of deter- mined will and excellent powers of command. The ‘Grand Citizen Marshal President” Falcon ar- rived here on the 4th by the Venezuelian gunboat Maparari. He had for some time past been besieged in Coro by @ greatly superior force of revolutionists headed by Generals Colina. Canesa, Galan and La Craz. On the 2d a hard fight took place near the city, resulting in a loss on both sides of about three hundred kill and eight hundred wounded, Among the "killed was General La Cruz. The battle was terminated by the ren- dition to the Falconists of a wounded chief under 8 flag of truce, which gave occasion to an armistice of half an hour. During this time terms were ad upon for the surrender of Coro, The only condition exacted by the revolutiontsts was the disarming and dispersion of all the Falconist troops. While this was going on Falcon, thinking the coast clear and his presence not actually necessary ,skedad- died in the most approved Cals for La Vela,the nearest port, and embarked on the Maparari, which had just arrived there. General Colina indeed was aware of his flight and took measures to intercept him. Falcon then begged permission to proceed, 81 that as his hes was poor he was only going to leave the country for change ofair. I give the sarcasm as it was given me for what itis worth. By a strange fatality on the part of the revolutionists they granted his prayer and allowed the invalid to pt |. So he ts now safe in this haven tor political refugees; his family has joined him. The Grand Citizen Marshal President ia about forty-five years old, stout, slightly bald and of rather dignified appearance. However poor hia health might have been in Coro he certainly looks very well in Curacoa. He says his stay here will not be for long, and that his enemies will yet feel his power. Perhaps so, but doubtful. Every dog has his day in Venezuela as elsewhere, and Falcon has used his day to the very best advantage for himself. Pushed into wer five years ago, after along and bloody struggle Re inan ited what Venezuelians term the “era of reonal pol ‘of which he is the chief represen- Prive. This “personal litics,” correctly in- terpreted, means simply, ery man look out for himself, and the de‘li tak’ the hindmost;” and certainly in this school Falcon has had plenty of disciples. The at trouble with the oppositionists themselves has been a want of Jeaders in whom any confidence could be placed. ‘The defection of Rojas indicates the spirit of these leaders, So long a8 this state of things continues there must be constantly multiplying factions and increasing bloodshed, and unless some Bolivar or Sucre reappears to still the storm with @ powerful hand there is but a gloomy prospect for a people, somewhat indolent may be, but after all really peaceable and well disposed and inhabiting one of the fairest lands under the ean. | NEW MUSIC, | Boosey & Co. have just published in quarto forma cheap edition of the “Singing Tutor for Female Voices,” by J.

Paris, June 5, 1868. ‘There is a great complaint among Paris actreases about the high price of wigs, Mile. Alphonsine, of the Palais Royal, has made a distinct arrangement with her manager that he has to pay for all the light ones—light wigs being much dearer than dark ones— and the high rate of false hair 1s such that the case has been brought before the Minister of Justice. It may be questioned what ministers have to do with it, though being “big wigs” themselves it is natural they should take interest in lesser ones, The Minis- ter of War has, moreover, to take long views of everything; he has to run his eye alpng lines of the National Guard, and cannot fall to notice the cut of their mustaches, The great fancy displayed in their culture, from the spear and corkscrew styles to the weeping melodramatic tend- encies, has caused this ornament to be rigidly abol- ished from the upper lips of lawyers, clergymen and attorneys. In truth, we cannot conceive a minister in the pulpit twirling up a mustache between texts. It is almost profane to think of such heresy. It was also greatly feared that defenders would set their mustaches at their clients just as they set the'r caps at pretty sinners, therefore the Minister of War and Minister of Justice were compelled to have a voice in the matter. Since the National Mobile Guard has been started the mustache question has again revived. Marshal Niel’s artistic eye has been struck by the va- cant appearance of bare faces when com- pared to the bushy whiskers and fertile upper lips of the Nationale. It has been an eyesore to him, and postiche mustaches were proposed. Now a@ posliche set may do very well on the stage, but they are apt to fall in the heat of an engagement with Chassepots, so the idea was re- jected, and a paper has been issued authorizing lawyers and attorneys, as also physicians, to let all their beards and imperials grow in luxuriance, but order, all over their faces. This is not the only plece of information for gen- tlemen by this mail, Some old pipes have been dis- covered In Scotland, not far from a place on which in former ages a Roman camp was stationed, and this discovery has caused a very scientific English gentleman to prove that our forefathers smoked from the very beginning of the foundation of the Heptarchy. I can almost fancy Attila with a pipe in his mouth, over one of those classic shaped old pots, puffing away and enjoying himself just as if he was not a scourge after all. When the scientific English scholar was asked what the bar- barians smoked, of course he could not say tobacco, as it is a general belief that the weed could not be got in Europe before the discovery of America; but clever students never are pnzzied, and the learned scholar stated that they smoked — flax. 1, as a smoker, cannot fancy how they got it in the queer looking bow!s, unless they chewed it down first; how- ever, this opinion is not shared by another scientific member, a German, who contends the Huff did not smoke flax but pure Havana, that they got it from America through the Carthagenians, Ptolomies and Pharaohs; that it is all nonsense about Columbus, he aid not discover America at all—he only followed the lead given him by the above unworthy set—and thus it is that some old pipes have caused a@ revolution in the whole system of geography, and that a respect- able navigator who for four hundred years has had the glory of discovering the new Continent turns out to be no one but a runner after lovers of Egyptian fleshpots. Volumes and volumes are coming out on these old pipes; some say they are Celtic, others that they are Scandinavians and Visigoths. Your readers shall be posted in their real origin as soon as the scientifle have got clear on the subject, There is great excitement felt about the French Prix de Paris which is to come off next Sunday for one hundred thousand francs, given by the town of Paris and an object of art by the Em- peror, The sum is made up—half by the city, and the other fifty thousand francs by the great railway lines. ‘The prize was founded in 1861, and has been gained by the following owners:—In 1863, by Ranger (Mr. Savile); in 1864, by Vermouth (Mi jamarre); in 1865, by Gladiateur (Count de nge); in 1866, by Ceylon ¢Duc de Beaufort); in 1 Ferracques (Count de Montgomery) Three horses are gn- nounced for the run from London—the Earl, le Royal and Blueskin, and there is a strong feeling ng the English that one of these must win the day; but the French are equally confident that they Will not. The first English Derby ever run in Eng- land took place in 1780, so that the last was the eighty-ninth anniversary of this solemnity, ‘he Grand Prix de Paris is usually a signal for a eneral ay breaking up.

The Empress, who intended stopping at St. Cloud, has made up her mina to to Fontainebleau, where her receptions can be made on a larger scale, and as long as the court is so near gayety will be kept up in the capital. Ems is to be the great centre of the fashionable world, A copies Russian colony have already settled there, and those of the French aristocracy also who, having estates deep in Burgundy, Tou- saine and Bretagne, prefer opening their homes for the hunting season in autumn and taking excursions from Ems to Baden meanwhile. The Kursaal is magnificent this year at Ems in view of some very first rate concerts and pieces which are to be per- formed, and draw all the reigning princes of Europe together under the disguise of incognito. The drives and rides all along the winding Lahn are charming. This graceful little river is covered with sails, which glide along under the very windows of the Kursaal. Baden is preferred for forest excursions, and the Russian ladies there are all ssed of the photo- graphy mania, Prince Napoleon was there one day of this week and found many of the Parisian belles hard at work in the forest. As soon as a cavalier passes in the shi lanes at a distance all the ma- chines are levelled at him. Some of the amatear artists come in for a tail, others for the rider’s hat; some of them get him all over, but awry ; others lend him a swelling, and when he has unsuspiciously ridden off all the copies are compared, and such a collection is exhibited. But to return to Paris. A fete was given a few days ago by the Marquise de Lagrange, after which a splended supper was served in ofd Sevres china. @ loveliest toilets were white muslin covered With lace and ‘gauze or tulle; it looks like snowflake. Miles. de Moustier have quite ado; this style. Ruche of tulle on muslin with pink—that pink called Hortensia—is perfectly tempting. The more white women wear on lawns diversified with cerise satin, in smal) proportions, or straw, or lilac mauve, the more womanly they look. A very awiul attempt at apricot shade 1s to be no- ticed, and worse it is than anything I can describe when trimmed with cerise and gold. This I have seen, however, at the Champs Elysces concerts, where no women of the deméi-monde are acmitted. Frutca bonnets is spreading into very undue pro- portions. Valenciennes on silk is all the mania still. The Empress’ robe at Rouen was @ lovely crépe de chine covered with lace.

After this Eugenie took two biscuits and a glass of champagne. The Emperor mixes his champagne with water. The news which was spread in Paris about ‘three arrests having been made at Rouen was untounaed. An atrocious neh general did not behave very well among the choristers who wished to sing the “Salut Imperial’ when the Emperor arrived. ‘ake that away," said the commander of legions, thump: ing on the music desks, and, turning to the Ninety- sixth regiment, he ord them to strike up Tr tant Pour la Syrie.’? Now it is all very well fora but not every queen can “Partant Pour la Syrie” achieve @ national anthem. te peculiarly fitted to a puppet show, not to a grand omctal openin march, and in my opinion the “Salut Imperial” ought to have been heard on this occasion.

The Chase Movement in the South. RALEIGH, June 17, 1368. A majority of thé lggding lawyers and many of the most intelligent citizéns of North Carolina have been drawn here for two or three weeks past by the ses- sions of the State Supreme and the United States Circuit Courts. I have been happy to find among them an almost unanimous appreciation of the Sagacity of the HERALD in urging the nomination of Mr. Chief Justice Chase for the Presidency. That distinguished gentleman held the court here a year ago, when he was regarded as the favorite leader of the republican party, and in spite of the prejudices engendered by civil war and party strife he made a most favorable impression on all who came in con- tact with him. The lawyers were attracted to him by the commanding ability of his address to the bar, in which he asserted the supremacy of civil over military law, as well as by his decisions in important and urbanity of his manners, which contrast so finely with the vulgar familiarity and grossness of the modern schools of politicians. Mr. Chase also won of his views. He avowed himself in favor of univer- sal amnesty, as well as universal suffrage; and ex- pressed his disapprobation of test oaths, for which he would substitute a simple oath of fealty to the constitution. In conformity with acts of Congress, and with the new relations of the negro to society, the Chief Justice ordered the marshal to summon man, whether winte or black, should be empanelled who was wanting in character, or who could not read and write. When he was informed by the_Dis- trict Attorney that according to the laws of North also to the conditions; and these evidences of respect for existing institutions went far to reconcile the people to the innovation. It fs not surprising, in view of these facts and of the more recent events in which Mr. Chase has borne @ conspicuous part, that a majority of intelligent men in North Carolina have their thoughts turned to him as to a friend of constitutional freedom on whom they can rely with confidence. It is honor- 80 far conquered old prejudices as to be willing to vote for such a man for President; and to their sa- gacity, that they recognize him as the most available candidate, I may add that, strange as it may sound much prejndice to overcome by the whigs of Norih Carolina, if called upon to support Mr. Pendleton his republican record. They will support either gen- tleman heartily if put in nomination; but it must not be assumed that the opposition to radical military despotism in North Carolina is democratic, It is divided about equally between the old whig and democratic parties, with a small fraction of those who have republican afiinities or ante- cedents. The organized opposition in this State, in convention, some months ago, refused to assume the name of “democracy,” and adopted that of “conservative.” This fact shows the wisdom of your suggestion some days ago, that it would be rally under the latter name, ‘The nomination of Mr. Chase is eminently degira- ble in the it would shelve all the old issues and some new ones, which, though of intrinsic value, are secondary tn importance. The slavery controversy has been set- ted; the “peculiar institution” is dead and buried, and only lunatics could desire to exhume its pu- trescent remains. The currency and tariff questions are insereees, and important, but they are subordi- nate to that of preserving constitutional liberty. The nomination of Chase wouid rally all who for any cause are opposed to the policy of Congress, to the dual dictatorship of Thad Stevens and Ben Butler, and to the establishment of negro supremacy in the South by the disfranchisement of the intelligent whites. It will command the confidence of the negroes themselves and of their sincere friends, North and South. On the other hand the nomina- tion of Mr. Pendieton or of any other old straight out democrat would resurrect all the dead issues and challenge all men to battle under the old tat- tered banners of the past. sands of men, North and South, who, though deeply disgusted with radical tyranny, corruption and mis- rule, will feel that the nomination of an old demo- crat, on a democratic platio or for controlling democratic reasons, is a gage thrown at their own feet, and they will take ft up. Their dissatisfaction with former friends wil! be forgotten, and Grant and Colfax will be triumphantly elected, It is obviously the policy of all the opposition elements to combine for the defeat of the radical candidates, and it is equally clear that this can only be done by laying aside all secondary as well as ail | issues. The preservation of the constitution | and civil liberty is of paramount importance, and | on this issue the battle should be fought. Questions | of mere policy should be subordinated to this essen- tial, fandamental necessity. .The nomination of Chase on this common platform would inspire a well grounded hope of success, while with almost an; other candidate in the field there would arise a frui less controversy as to the merits of the war, siavery, nbacka, banks and tari, with a certainty of lefeat.

To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD: | In my correspondence from Washington for the | Herawp in February last I predicted the defeat of impeachment, which result has given satisfaction to the nation and saved it from lasting disgrace. That trial, infamous in its conception but glorious in its re- sult, has prominently brought forward before the whole people of the United States the name of a dfs. tinguished statesman and learned jurist, an incorrup- tible patriot and a liberal and progresstve democrat. 1 refer, of course, to Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It ia understoodhat the name of Judge Chase (not at his own solicitation) will be pre- sented at the Democratic Convention of July Fourth for the office of President of the United States, and If propose in as brief space as is practicable to assign the reasons which should make that nomination a certainty and with acclamation, The HEra.pis the great independent paper of the country, with a circu- lation extending over every part of its area, and it is through the columns of such a paper I would in all | modesty spe: The first consideration which | should operate with every democrat and conserva | tive in the land should be to nominate one who will | concentrate upon hin the largest antt-radical vote, and who, on all the great issues before the country, will be @ reliable democrat. I said this should be the first consideration. euiae hot to have said it shoud be the only consiteration? Now, with Chase as the nominee, I presuine he would receive mine-tenths , of the democratic, all of the conservative, and one- third of the republican votes, securing which there are not three States in the Union whose electoral vote would be given to Grant.

They would feel that the country waa, saved; that peace, ‘osperity, happiness and brotherly love would in Be Sianahent over our whole land, and w by the return of confidence, add thousands of milltons of dollars to the wealth of the country. I would ask who saved our country from the disgrace and ruin which would have surely followed the conviction of the President by impeachment?

Who would destroy radicalism and sweep that party trom the high places they have so unworthily filled? Salmon P. jase, the wise statesman, the jot, and God’s noblest work, an honest man. The hand- radical rule and ruin.” Opinions of the Newspaper Press On the Chase Movement. From the Independent—religto-politico radical.) ‘here can be no doubt that Mr. Chase and his in- timate personal friends think that his chances are excellent for the democratic nomination for the Presidency. One of his best friends said yesterday:— “His chance for the nomination is better than that of any person yet named." That is, his prospects are better than those of Hancock, Pendleton, or Hendricks} A few prominent democrats here favor his nomination. When questioned closely, they ad- mit that their object is ‘to beat Grant.” They also insist that, if once Mr. Chase gets upon the track, he will lose his old prejudices against negro haters and oppressors, and become a good deimocrat, which means a friend to everything bad. [From the Chicago Republican—radical.] For some time Pendleton has been very anxious to doctor the public debt, and now Belmont is very anxious to doctor Pendleton. It is proposed to kill him off in New York, about the Fourth of July, in tne house of his own friends, with a dose of his own medicine—greenbacks. The story is that the Chase interest has raised a bribery and corruption fund of $1,600,000. This cannot fail to prove a very cogent | argument. In fact, it has kicked up a very extensive bobbery in Pendletonian circles. If such a statement had been made relative to intivencing the nomina- | tion by a republican convention, it would have been | received with a smile of incredulity or contempt. | But spoken of the New York convocation, it engenders the most lively apprehensions, “ The same paper furnishes the followin, | Our advices from New York are ihat the Chase movement is hourly gaining strength in the ct that the Manuattan Club, comprising (he aristocracy | of Tammany, are harmonizing with the Empire Club, the Dead Kabbits and other democrats, and that ere } the Democratic National Convention meets ail the | clans will make common cause in favor of the nomi- ; nation of the Chief Justice. {From the Philadelphia Telegraph—radical.} There has probably never been a tore disgracefil exhibition of sacrifice of principle to love of oMice than that unholy union between the Chief Justice and | the democrats. There is tn it, to our mind, some- | thing peculiarly revolttig for Mr. Chase, who has ever been the most decided opponent of the demo- ‘ats, who has seen them throughout the war battling openly or covertly for the ebellion, Who has had rare opportunities of seeing | the bitter malevolence of the rebel element, to now | clasp hands with these men, and for love of office, for such a union causes us to doubt all virtu While for the democrats with the batile cry of a | white man’s governuent, and the hatred of all | thought of negroes participating in the oilices of the nation, to give way to policy and seek to stultify themselves to gain offices, is equally unblushing. But it seems to us that if the platform quoted be the true one, then they give up but little, while Chase gives up all. He favors universal suffrage, yet by this declaration itis left to the States exclusively. ‘This is no concession. All recognized that fact be- fore. The States can, if they want to, give suffrage | to the blacks; but will they want to? Certainly not. ‘The union formed is one im which Mr. Chase receives | nothing but the chance of office, while he sacritices | principles and honor to gain an end, {From the Pittsburg Dispatch—independent.)

From the Chicago Tribune—radical.} New York is about to have a National Convention of her own, with Chief Justice Chase as a candidate. We have not heard of any wigwam being built to receive it or of any hall being provided for it more capacious than Crosby's Opera House. It imust be admitted that there are many places of prnusement in New York, and none of them are funnier, on the whole, than the 7ribune office. Probably the dele- tes to the copperiead Convention will find the fine hanging heavily on their hands and will need a inment.

(From the Springfeid Republican (radical), June 20.) Judge Chase is plainly determined that the deme. crats sbali not fail to take him for lack of @ plat. form. He has given them two or three, an now be offers another, which looks so inuch iil the genuine democratic article. that we do not well | fe see how the New York Convention can refuse to take him. Butif that will not suit, he stands ready to offer another, we have no doubt; for his platform te really Chief Justice Chase aud nothing more nor leas. In spite of the pronounced opposition of ef demo<« cratic papers to the Chase movement, it ts still atrong in New York and New Bngland, and the chances are as good for its success NOW as they ever were, Gerritt Smith's promtsed support will not add much strength in ademocratic convention; and it is by no means certain,that he will not go for Grant after aii. ampen Political Notes.
