4 THE PRESIDENCY. Salmon P. Chase on the Situation. He Pronounces in Fayor of Universal Suf- frage—Is for a General Amnesty—De- nounces Class Privileges—Desires a Modification of the Taxes and a Non-Military Government in Time of Peace. Tammany Hall Visited by Thou- sands Yesterday. The Delegations in This Gity----What They Think and What They Are Doing. OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE. CHASE THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITE In response to inquiries by a prominent gentleman of this city and an intimate friend of Chief Justice Chase, that gentleman, that many of the strange rumors regarding his opinions im the approaching canvass now being prominently circulated, may have emphatic contradiction, has defined his views ina letter, from which the following extracts are taken:— Universal suffrage 18 a recognized democratic prin- ciple, the application of which is to be left, under the constitution of the United States, to the States themselves. Universal amnesty and complete removal of all disabilities on account of participation in the late rebellion is not only a wise and just measure of public policy, but essentially necessany to the beneficial administration of good government in the States recently involved in civil war with the United States and to the full and satisfactory re-establishment of the practival relations of these States with the other States of the American Union. Military government over any State of the Union in time of peace is incompatible with the principles of civil liberty, nor can the trial of private oltizens by military commissions be sanctioned by a people jealous of their freedom and desiring to be free. Taxes should be reduced as far-as practicable, col- lected impartially and with strict economy, also ap- portioned 80 as to bear on wealth rather than on labor; and while all national obligations should be honestly and exactly fulfilled no special privilege should be allowed to any classes of individuals or cor- porations. CHASE NOT IN TOWN.

First in the order of these accessories is the grand triumphal arch now being erected in front of the main en- trance. Stretching from curb to curb of the street, with about the same distance transversely between the columns, it is arranged in the form of a square, being composed of evergreen and spruce elegantly 4 and tastefully enwreathed upon the frame, and pre- sents in tts ensemble a cheerfyl and festal piece of ornamentation, odorous as well of the forest atmos- phere, so dear and inspiring to the old braves. All who enter the Convention must pass under its shadow, and may inhale in its arofiatic exhalation | some of the feelings of independence which, in the olden time, drove a Robin Hood and Little John to the shelter of the greenwood tree, and later inspired the breast of King Philip and his dark browed subjects. This arch is not completed, al- though in full progress towards that consummation, It wilt be adorned with full length portraits of Jack- son, Jefferson and other great democratic saints whose counterfeit presentments teach lessons of union, harmony and justice, Looking higher, the front of the building ts profusely covered with buant- ing.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, by the gracious permis- sion of the magnates in charge, the doors of the wig- wam were thrown open and the pubiie permitted to enter and view the place where the men charged with the consideration of matters of such weighty moment are to assemble, Admission was by ticket, an arrangement which, however it may be regarded as heretical in the light of the democratic gospel, was certainly pleasing to the favored recipt- ents of the pasteboard endorsement venting any undue rush or uncomfortable crowding.

MINNESOTA. It would be diMcult to determine where the differ- ence between the delegates from this State and those from Indiana and Minnesota exists; but a it dl vergence of opinion, from whatever cause it may have been created, constantly betrays itself in the conversations of the members.

One or two of the deiega' it is true, speak in terms of warm admiration of Pendleton, but it is purely from the motive of personal attach- ment to one whose magnetism of manner few are able to resist. MICHIGAN is entirely represented. Seyen members of the dele- gation stop at the St, Nicholas and the rest are scat- tered all over the city.

NEW YORK. The deiegation from the Empire State is fully rep- resented at the St. Nicholas Hotel. Some of tue members say they are unanimously in me of Ho- ratio Seymour and others speak hopefully of Chase. In stru @ balance it would be perfectly within the truth to say that a majority, poRenpending the fact of Seymour's declination, are in favor of hi nomination and a minority in favor of Cha: One thing, however, is certain—that the whole delega- tion would gladly go for Chase if he were nomt- nated, and nothing could indicate the cot of this assumption more than the fact that Seymour, who has alreadyrendorsed Chase, declines the nomi- ing certainty but a motive to uphold the old dew cratic creed of consistency prevents thein at this jancture from avowing their preference for Chase. Without prejudice, it is only justice to, state that this delegation presents the best appearance of any that has yet arrived. There is @ heartiness and manil- ness about these New Yorkers which it is not ver easy to paratie!, and, by the way, they look as col fortable a set of fellows as ever attended a political gathering. At noon yesterday the delegation held a meeting at the St. Nicholas Hotel, The following changes were made in the list of delegates, Judge Cardozo de- clining om account of business im court, and Mr. Carter on account of sickness:— Peter B, Sweeny tn piace of Albert Cardozo (Seventh district). Charles H. Winfield in place of Enoch Carter (Eleventh district). An informal discussion arose upon a motion of Francis Kernan to adjoura to-morrow, at one o’clock, in order tlrat more time might be given for consultation among the delegates from other Statea, Some of the delegates had ouly arrived this morning, and there had been no opportunity to deliberate and it was only now that our own delegation was full aud present. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Erie, thought there ought to be some expression of opinion in regard to the candi- date of tue delegation to-day. Otherwise the State of New York might fail to exert the influence with other States whitch belonged to the State. We onght to have our man and our policy at once. We | to present @ candidate of our own. There were at least six promivent men in the State fit to be nomi- nated, and the name of one of the number well known all over the land and respected and hon at home, and, in his judgment, ought to receive the vote of the deiegates and be recommended to the Convention. Mr, Kanan thought nominations at this time were premature. He hi as much respect for the distin- guished gentleman named as any one, and would be as glad as his friend to see him fairly before the peo- pie; but another day would enable us to act with more wisdom for the State and not the less for the country. We ought so to act as to insure unity of purpose in order that we might assure to ourselves and the country that final action which would save the nation from the great Calamity which seemed to rest upon it, The present opportunity might be our last to accomplish this resuit. Mr. FACLEKENER, of the Twenty-fifth district, said, as one of the delegates of the young men of the Con- vention, he desired an early expression of opinion both in t men and policy, and guch, he thought, Was the feeling of the delegates from the western part of the Stal He deprecated seeing the Empire state without aad without a policy, and thereby frittering away an influence which might otherwise be exerted for good.

The rumor of a new movement on the part of Chase—noticed in the i devoted to the dele- gates fromthe Bay State—created quite a flutter yesterday in the lobbies of the Fifth Avenue and caused a most uneasy feeling amomig those who are fully committed to Pendleton but piously devoted to their party.

From the perambulating dispenser of neat’s-foot oll and mpbiack over the cowhide and calfskin pedal coverings of our pedestrians up though the prominent members of society, ambitious to show their zeal in behalf of the good order of the city, there ranges in the hours o! the morning a wide latitude of expressions ig the events of the hour. Never were they more exciting than’ now. The “judicial functionary,” called in, perhaps, from ‘a neighboring groggery, indulges with the more modest in their obtrusive determination bh or for the party that will bring order out of chaos in this country.

It was a candidate for SI fro honors” that desired his foet to undergo certain ‘‘reformatory operations.”’ You would have told him at once from the “‘old cit.,’” ag he must have been a brother of the man who hau ed his boots off ‘with the forks of the road? As the young ‘polisher’ comprehended the full extent of b, the com- posed entirely bull’s hide, such as ren- dered invulnerable the shield of Ajax, he be- came inquisitive and then patronizingly ind nt. Their conversation turned as brushés rubbed from “heel to toe,” and travelled up the expansive instep upon nominations, and the sti r gave us his opinion that no one could send the democratic party to victory with the same effectiveness as Chase. ‘This he dilated upon, teHing those around him that to nominate any other man, to his mind, and the minds of his co-laborers in the Convention, would be a hopeless struggie for the supremacy of the country, In the selection of another he was afrgid that old traditions, old hates and old ambitions woud inter- pose and rob the bape of its-meed of success.

They readily entered into conversation about “ts of candidates, but ultimately dropped ne conclusion as characterized our friend, who of the Fulton ferry had almost all the “leather of the world in one boot,” and for whom the young artist was winning honor that such “understand- ings”’ should go to Tammany Hail, Seriously, a8 an tilustration how men think that are allied to political parties, there does not present such a field as the little worlds that gather on our many ferries, radiating from the city im all direc- tions.

These Ce ereegg 9 favor of Chase, of course, are merely of that type that perhaps could be gathered m a ride any morning for any or all of those whom the forthcoming Convention will name, but they have been selected and sifted with unusual care from many stormy arguments by civiilans and strangers, and thas we give them as a strain of the feelings of an “intelligent jury.’ ‘ THE EMPIRE CLUB.

From information obtained there it is evident that the prospects of Chief Justice Chase are of the most encouraging character. The parlor is handsomely decorated with flags and two large im- erial photographs of the Chief Justice are hung on the walls, The following card 18 issued by the Execu- tive Committee:—“The friends of Chief Justice Chase will be pleased to entertain you at their head- quarters, parlor No. 3 Chanier House, opposite Tam- many Hal!, Fourteenth street.” TRE SALLORS AND SOLDIERS’ NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTER continue their labors at the Moffat Mansion.

None of them have agreed upon any definite action, but nearly afl are united upon the idea that if the party is to be successful their action at the Convention must be harmonious in every pat- ticular. Chase and Hancock are much talked of ag the men to head the ticket, the majority of them, of course, peing in favor of the Chief Justice. ‘With the exception of two or three members of the New Hampshire delegation, there will pe none from the East who will favor Pendleton.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 1368. Colonel Jawes 0, BROADHEAD:— Dear COLONEL—In reply to your inquiries, I beg leave to say that I leave to you to determine, on con- suitation with my friends from Missouri, whether my name shall be presented to the Democratic Conven- tion, and to submit the following as what! consider the real and only issue in this contest:. The reconstruction policy of the radicals wil be complete before the next election; the States so long excluded will have been admitted, negro suf- fcage established and the carpet-baggers installed in their seats in both branches of Congress. There is no possibility of changing the political char- acter of the Senate, even if the democrats should elect their President and a majority of the popular branch of Congress. We cannot, therefore, undo the radical plan of reconstruction by Congres- sional action; the Senate will continue a bar to tts repeal. Must we submit to it? How can It be over- thrown? It can only be overthrown by the authority of the Executive, who is sworn to maintain the con- stitution, and who will fail to do his duty if he allows the constitution to perish under a series of Cot sionai enactments which are in palpabie violation of its-fundamenta! principies. “4 If the President elected by the democracy enforces permits others to enforce these Reconstru ig acts, the radicals, by the accession of twenty apart ous Senators and ity Kepresentatives, will control both branches of Congress, and his administration wili be as powerless as the present one of Mr, Jola- son, 4 There is but one way to restore the government and the constitution, and that is for the Prestdent elect to declare these acts null and void, compet the army to undo its usurpations at the South, disperse the carpet-bag State governments, allow the white people to reorganize thelr own gov- ernments and elect Senators and Representatives. ‘The House of Representatives will contain a ity of democrats from the North and they wil the Representatives elected by the white peop! co-operation of the Prest- dent it will not be dificult to com submit once more to the obligations of <f tion. It will not be able to, judgment, if distinctly invoked a C x- ressed, on this fundamental issue, and it fs the sure way to avoid ail future strife to put this issue piginly to the countzy. I rey at this is tt ne real and which we shouid allow to control | we sub- mit to the usarpations by which 1 ment has been overthrown, or shall we exert ourselves for tts full and complete restoration’ Tt 1s ‘dle to tatk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public faith and the yublic credit. What cah a democra’ President do in regard to any of these with a° Congress in both branches controlled by the carpet-baggers and thetr allies? He will be powerless to stop the supplies by which idle negroes are organized into political ciubs—by which an army 1s ‘Inaintained to protect these v: is in their outrages upon the batlot. These, and things like these, eat up the revenues and resources of the government and destroy its credit, make ¢he differeme between gold and nbacks. We must restore the constitution be- fore we can restore the finances, and to do this we must have a President who wil! execute the will of the people by trampling into dust the usurpations of Con known as the Reconstruction acts. T wish to stand before the Convention upon this isane, but it is one which embraces everything else that m of value in its ae and comprehensive resulta, I¢ is the one thing that includes ail that is worth a con- astion test, aud without It there is nothing that gives dignity, Nonor or value to the struggle.
