CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. 
Salmon Portland Cm ask, Chief Justice of 
the United States, died at the residence of his 
son-in-law. in Now York City, ill 10 o’clock A. 
M., on the 7th inst. He had been In his usual 
health up to the day before ills death, when he 
was found in hod, suffering from apoplexy and 
paralysis. The news of his death created a deep 
sensation throughout the land. All his family 
were present at his bed-side. Ilis last, words 
were “Good-night." 
Judge Chase was born in Cornish, N. H., the 
State of \VicnSTKtc and Grbki.ky, Jan. 13, 1808. 
He spent his early life in Vermont and Ohio, In 
hard work and study, graduating from Dart¬ 
mouth in 1826, at t he age of 18, He studied law 
In Washington, and in 1830 was admitted to t he 
bar In Cincinnati. He early espoused t he cause 
of the slave. He pronounced slavery sectional, 
freedom national, lie signed the call for the 
Anti-Slavery Convention at Columbus in 18 11 . 
He agitated the ant i-slavery quest ion In politics 
up to 1810, when lie was made Senator from 
Ohio. lu (he Senate lie was the leader of the 
anti-slavery cause, making many speeches 
which roused the North. In 1855 he was made 
Governor of Ohio. In t.lm nominat ing Conven¬ 
tion at Chicago for 1850 Mr. Chasm was a promi¬ 
nent candidate with Lincoln ami Skwarp. 
President Lincoln made him the Secretary of 
the Treasury, and, a.s all tin* world knows, he 
proved to be the great financial minister of 
modern times. Ho gave us the national green¬ 
backs, and restored our credit. In June, 1864, 
ho resigned as Secretary of the Treasury, and 
in October of that year ho was appointed Chief 
Justice, In succession to Roger II. 'Pan my. His 
eminent career upon the Supreme bench is 
known to all our readers. In 1858 Mr. Chase's 
friends again hoped to nominate him for Presi¬ 
dent, but tlut movement was a failure, in June, 
1870, ho received his first, stroke of paralysis. He 
had long been failing in health. Mr. Cijask was 
married three times. His surviving family con¬ 
sists or two daughters, Mrs. Senator Sphaoue 
and Mrs. ITst. S. Hoyt. 
To sum up so brilliant, useful and honorable 
a life as that, of the lamented Chief Justice, is 
no ordinary task. Senator Sumnhr says: “In 
Ids death one of the grandest links in the chain 
which bound theold abolitionists to the people 
of to-day la melted away." Gov. Dix of New 
know how to value good, honest work, and that 
it is profitable to pay for it." His reputation, 
and that of his firm, bused upon their manufac¬ 
tures, is more to be desired than Ids fame as a 
Congressman could possibly be, even had not 
ids name boon so scandalously associated with 
tonville, S. C., 1822, and graduated from the 
University of Virginia In 18-12. liecoming a 
lawyer and editor, ho entered the State Legisla¬ 
ture in 1644. In 1848 lie was sent to Congress, 
serving until 1860. Ho was elected speaker in 
1857. He voted for secession In 1850. In 1851 he

Credit Mobiller. In all Ids relations in life, so 
far as the testimony of Ills more intimate friends 
York, in his message, speaks of his eminence as aml neighbors goes, Oakes Ames was a kind- 
a statesman and a jurist, the distinguished 
place which lie filled in the Government, the 
purity of ills life, and Ids patriotic services to 
the country. He was one of our greatest men 
of our greatest epoch a man who will forever 
bo associated with List uln, Skwa no, Stanton, 
and thoso who guided i he destinies of the na¬ 
tion iii it-i darkest days, in every sense of the 
word lie was a noble, ■ —- - ...

Human; a mao of char- - 
aril rand principle! in- — -

right, t In- friend of I lie 
reputation. " 
hearted, sympathetic, charitable, upright man. 
If in Congress he did as Congressmen do, it only 
shows the evil results which follow evil associ¬ 
ations. Oakes Ames was born in 1804. His dis¬ 
ease was apoplexy, from a stroke of which he 
was unconscious several days. Ho was the 
son of the celebrated shove) manufacturer, and 
accumulated great wealth. He took no part in 
was sent to the Confederate Senate, Joining the 
opposition to Jest Davis. Under Johnson, he 
became Governor of South Carolina, in 1855. 
When Minister Curtin resigned, President 
GRANT made Mr. Quit Minister to Russia. He 
was a judicial, prudent, amiable gentleman, 
and in him the South, as well as the North, 
loses a groat man.

Oakes Ames died at 
his residence, in North

Oakes Ames’ name has 
been prominently be¬

year, in connection with 
the Credit Mobilicr 
scandal. Ho, with Hon.

censured by Congress,

to hasten their demise 
we do not know. Cer¬

in any sense excuse
