The Chase UOTemeat.
Tho movement among a few leading
conservative politicians and newspa
pers of the North to have Chief Justice
Chaso nominated by tlio Now York
Convention; is said to bo acquiring con
siderable volume and power In tho Now
England Statos, though in the Western
States tho proposition meets with but
little favor, as will bo sacn from tho
subjoined extract.
Of course wo of tho South can have
very little voice In this matter, owing
to our politloal and oulmVfestatus t'n tho
Union; but we novorthelcss fool a doep
intorcst in tho Presidential contest,
and want a man for that .high office
who is in no way tinctured with the
great negro equality idea that rules
the hour—one who is opposed to tho
maintenance of negro supremacy at tho
South by means of the Freedman’s
Buroau, bayonets and heavy taxation
—one who believes that this is purely
a white man's government, and who Is
opposed heart and soul to the Jdfcobln
party—who holds no principle in com
mon with that destructive, revolution
ary organization. Judge Chase, If we
understand his position, is highly ob
jectionable on this very ground. He
is not a Democrat, but has always been
an anthslayory man, and, until very
recently, acted with tho radical party
In its reconstruction and several of its
other unconstitutional measures; and
though he has lately out loose from that
party, ho is still, according to his. own
admission, in favor of its rcconstrue
tion programme. This being true, ho
can have no sympathy for the demo
cratic- party—no political views tbnt
will accord with those advocated by tho
great conservative element of the coun
try, and wo do- not see how lie can,
without a complete somersault on his
part, come Over to the democracy and
consent to run as tholr candidate—in
deed, ho says himself he will not accept
the nomination of that party unless they
come to him and-accept his principles
as their platform; and what does this
coming to him mean? Simply that
tho democracy must admit that Rad
ical reconstruction is constitutional,
which they deny, apd that democratic
principles are contrary, to tho spirit of
the Constitution—in a word, in getting
on his platform, they must accept ne
gro equality and negro supremacy,
whioh the reconstruction bill and his
other principles clearly teach, if they
teach anything.
In tho action of tho New York.Con-
principles should not be Ipst
= i the desire to bring out tho
rongest man: nnd Judge Chaso, be
cause of his past politloal record and
his present anomalous position, is by
no means the strongest man, arid is
one of tho last men tho Convention onn
nominate without a BhamolesB sacrifice
of its principles. .True, a strong man
should be put forward, but then he
should not be one who has been almost
a life-long opponent of demporaoy—
who holds to but few, if any, principles
in common with the principles taught
by that par!y. llo should be ono who
is thoroughly wedded to every consti
tutional,democratic rtOasure—who will
bo a zealous co-worket with that party
in its effort to out short the reign of the
insane, wicked nnd tyrannical usurp
ers at Washington, and inaugurate
good government in tho land. And
who is the man that stands upon such a
platform and lias the strength to defeat
the Mongrels? Wo answer most era
phatically, Geo. H. Pendleton, who is
said to he the almost unanimous choice
of tho groat. Wost and of every conserv
ative mechanic and laborer in the New
England States; and he is the decided
choice of tho entire conservative and
democratic element South, who will, if
allowed, rally in ono solid body to his
support; He stands on tho only cor
rect, constitutional platform—the only
platform that will restore the credit
and honor of tho country, and bring
peace and happiness to Ilia whole na
tion—and is tho man, of all others
mentioned in this connection, for tho
Convention to nominate if they would
triumph in November next.
But here is the extract referred to
abovo, showing the feeling in the West
concerning tho proposed nomination of
Judge Chase by the 4th of July Con
vention:
11 Tho Western Democrats ere watching with
jealous interest the progress of tho movement to
nominate Chief Justice Chase. It was a compli
cation, or rather a development, lor which they
Were wholly unprepared. Thoy feel, not bitterly,
hut warmly on the subject In opposition to those
who would make Ur. Chase the Demeet etie nom
inee hr President nt the next eleolion, and tho
fri' IS of Mr. Pendleton will make u most des
pc »te fight against the Chief Justice In the Con
vention. They cannot understand tho inconsis
tency, sb they call it, of their Eastern brethren in
abandoning tho principle, which they advocated
only a few months ego whoh it was poesibln'that
Ur. Chaso might even ho the most suitahlo of
candidates to tho moa*. Radical of Republicans.
Ur- Chase's views ire not democratic, nnd hjear.-
not stand upon Ute Democratic platform without
un entire recantation of his own words, or without
a very decided alteration of his opinions. Tho
Democratic faith, according to the western inter
pretation of it, eutertaina no policy on the ques
tion of suili-ago except that the question is one
which should and must be left to the States to de
cide, each one for itself. Even a modification of
Mr. Chase's views would not be suQk-iont. Uni
Tarsal suffrage, suffrage and representation ac
cording to the proposed Article Fourteen, or im-
pu-tial suffrage, are all contrary to dctnocrutio
doctrine. The nomination of Ur. Chase would,
thereforo, be Impossible without a very curious
p ditlcal somersault on tho part of tho Chief Jus
te >, or a fatal abandonment of principles by the
DaJtociuile party.”

PreMdcM'A veto message of tho Ar
kansas Bill:
“ The approval of this bill would bo ah admis
sion that the act more efficiently governing tlio
rebel Slates, nnd tho act supplementary thereto,
were constitutional; whcrcus the President's opin
ion is unchanged in this respect, but rather
strengthened hy tho results attending their exe
cution, If Arkansas is nqt a State, this bill docs
not adtiili her: ns she Is a Slate, no legislation is
necessary to entitle her to representation hi Con,
cress. Each House,underthe Constitution, judges
the election returns und tho qualifications of Us
own members, and nothing is necessary to restore
Arkansas but a decision by each -House of tho tn-
clllglbllity,of those presenting credentials. This
Is the plain, nuil simple plan of the Constitution;
nnd had it been adopted In 1805, instead of leg
islation of doubtrul'donstitutlpnalipy, nitd there
fore unwise and dangerous, restoration would
long slnco have been accomplished. Thoil’reat

shall signify Its acceptance of tho fundamental

The dimensions of. tho spring proper
are about five feet In diameter and of
an unknown depth—for experimenters
have repeatedly sounded its depth in
vain, and no bottom can bo reached.—
The water boils tip with great force;
bubbles of gas constantly rise up
through the water, and explode at the
surface.
This gas |s highly combustible, and
1b frequently set on fire as it makes' its
escape. Suoh is the force with which
the water rises that a human body can
not sink, but is buoyed up in a stand
ing position.: It is a famo’ns bathing
place, and wo took the first opportuni:
ty to plunge into thls bottoinless wcll.

Joe Urotrn and tho President.
From a dispatch to tlie Louisville
Journal we learn that President John
son expresses great contempt for Joe
Brown. It will bo remembered that
Joe was in Washington in 1805 as an
applicant for pardon, and the President
sqys he was tho most syeoplinntic ap
plicant among tho many who thronged
the national capital. We have no
doubt of H, for it is so like the mnn.
It is hinted by those in Washington'
who were in a position to know, that
he was an applicant for the place of
Prpvisioiml Governor, and, failing to
get it, turned Radical.
The' Washington correspondent! t.-
th&N.ew York Herald says that a full
reconciliation ^s not yet taken place
between Grant arid .Blitter,'And that,
the latter is believed by Grant's friends,
to bo working secretly against bis elec
tion in November.
It is 6aid tlint the President will ve
to the Omnibus bill, at length, and that
his “ objections ” will be very tart and
vefy unanswerable. The rumor la
founded on the idea that he expects to
make capital before tlio New York
Convention by such a document.
A new way to collect old debts bns
been found iu Kentucky. The credi
tor bns his debtor arrested for posses
sing counterfeit money, and when tlio
ofllcer made a search and discovered
two thousand dollars in genuine green
backs, lie attached the lot, securing
hiB amount.
Prentice says, a Mr. Bently has been
indicted in Alabama forsevercly wound
ing a stranger with an axe, alleging as
a reason that “he didn’t know hut the
stranger was a robber." “He didn’t
knQW," adds Prentice, “qnd so- ‘axed’
him.”

Fearful Crime The Savannah
paperri of Tuesday contain an account
of a fearful crime committed in that
city Monday evening. A, white man
named Patrick Higgins, while under
the influence of liquor, shot his wife
in four places and then attempted to
kill bimself. Tho unfortunate woman,
was alive'Monday night, but.no hopes
were entertained of her recovery—
Higgins is in jail. The published ac
count in both papers is positively too
indecent for tho Pollco Gazette.
The Columbus prisoners, in Atlanta
who were recently released from close
confinement, have been returned to
solitary confinement in dungeons.—
This is thought to be the work of the
detectives of Torquemadn Meade.

change has come over the disposition
of Congress in regard to . an CBi'iy

of the nnti-Rndieul movements has
brought the majority to a pause. The
most prominent Radical'Ieaders deolarh
that the proposed adjourn mention the

They say that it will he absoiu'tuly

Eight-Hour Movement About
three thousand bricklayers met in New
York on Monday night to consider the
propriety of insisting upon eight hours
work a day, instead of ten, as at pres

resolved that on and after Monday
next the day’s work lie reduced to eight
hours, tho wages also to bo reduced
