The" Hera Id is very Litter upon Chief Jus:
,4 lice. Chase, whom it styles the "Great Negro
"Worshipper." In the course of its remarks, j
U says:
"These" tilings being so, we cordially sympathize
wkh the popular indignation at the dc\*
gradationof the ermine worn by Chief Justice
f Chase (luring his electioneering tour nmoug
'* \he canebrakes of South Carolina. It .Mr.
Chase feels himself unfitted for the olfice of
. Chief Justice, if he knows himself to be in
competent to discharge its duties and meet it*
. responsibilities, he can tender his resignation^
which will be at once accepted. But while he
holds the office he is morally bound uot to disgrace
it. The office is a sublime one, aud the
- illustrotis predecessors of Mr. Chase appreeiated
its dignity and importance. We can im?
^V'agitie Chief justice Marshall shuddering with
' indignation in his grave as he sees the Ciiief
Justiceship transformed into a temporary it'
fuge for a restless poJiticiau who uses its high
prerogatives to prosecute his plans for securing
a Presidential nomination, careless whether
or not those plans may involve the country
in a sanguinary social war. The circular letter
scut to the VVcst by Mr. 'Chase reveals what
his purposes are, and his stumping tour among
the Southern negroes develops the mentis by
which he hopes to succeed, lie intends, if
. ' possible, to be our next President and he expects
to accomplish this bv menus of ultra rud
ical and, perhaps, the free iK-gro vote. This
vole he desires to gain through the agitation
of the negro sulfernge oucstion, as a sort of up
pc-ndix to (Lie abolition tpicsiiou.
We oppose this lamentable scheme, not be
Cause we believe that it has the slightest prospect
of success, so Jar as Mr. <Jha#e is concerned,
but because of the degradation of the
Chief Just ire-hip in being thus dragged
through <hc mire of politics, and because of the
dreadful conse<| nonces whieb may follow such j
an a?j taliun as lite Chief Justice lias com j
ineiiccd."

"At this crises, and while the government is
considering bow to solve this wil;ieu!t and important
problem, Chief Justice t'hiv! visits llie j
South, lie comes nsteusablv Id establish or I
reopen the United States courts, although bis !
presence lor fundi an obj' ct is entirely super-!
litmus and unnecessary. Keallv, viflmitl extenuation,
be come? as a lirebrand to precipitate
a conflict which it is his soil-in it duly to j
prevent. Witimnt del iv be sets himself Up as
an authority .outside of the government, and,
therefore, in opposition to the government ;
for during such crisis he who is ma with ns is
against us. Knowing tlio immense gravity
which attaches to his words on account of the
position he occupies, he calls together two or
three thousand blacks, and does not hesitate
to suggest doubts of the policy of the administration
towards thetn. adding the significant
enecr that he?the great negro-worshipper?is
"no longer in its councils." In the very face
of the constitution he announces that be
ilknows no reason" why the privilege of sufferago
may not be at once and universally given
to the blacks, thns prcdeciding a constitutional
question which may possibly be brought before
the Supreme' Court for its decision. It is bad
enough for the Chief Justice to volunteer these
serai-judicial opinions; but it is worse for him
to volunteer tliom tor political purposes, going
into the market to bid for negro votes against
the person who arrested ex Governor Aiken,
because that Southern loyalist had thirty thousand
dollars worth of silver plate and twenty
thousand bottles of old Vinc in his cellar. Is
Mr, Chase ignorant of the horrolt of St. Domingo
? Is he unmindful of the fact that those
horrors arose, not from the actual proclamation
of freedom, but from th'e efforts to readjust the
status of the emancipated blacks? Ignorantly
or wilfully, he is provoking a new social war
between the races of the South. Ilis words
arc incendiary, and they cmbarrae the govern
ment. Instead of being at his post of duty at
Washington, to asswt iri the trial of the assassination
conspirators, he is electioneering
among possible votei-s for sutferages whibh may
yet be defied them. With all our respect for
the office he holds, we cannot forbear rebuking
such proceedings in the strongest tflrms. In
v?
deed, our respect for tlieCliief Justice's ermine
renders us the more impatient with biui who
bedraggles and disgraces it."

YOU ARK IN* ARRUARS FOR THIS TAX, AND
have not paid it yet. Tliff persons fbr whom it was
intended, bylaw, uro now sull'oring. This Hoard
earnestly implores you to pay the same forthwith.?
They have considered the reasons assigned by many
persons for not doing so, to wit: That tho enetny under
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Potter, and the cavalry
corps of the Confederate States, have oaten up, or destroyed,
all theircorn, and other provisions;' that you
have not enough for your own use, and are nowborrowiug
from others, to oniric you to live, and this
Board have concluded that these reasons cannot stand,
and are not pro]>er.
Tho Board cannot release this tax, without repealing
the act of the Legislature which imposes 'it?this
the Board has no power to do. Tho laws of the State
are in full force and rigor, and unrepealed, aud it is
the duty of every citizen, stronger now than ever, to
obey them. When might becomes the practical law
of the land, no man is safe in person or property.
If your corn and other provisions have been taken
from you, then you can purchase moro. If you ask
where,wo answer by the information before the Board,
that an unlimited amount of corn can be had anound
ci?Un,,cn!it onwpnrv.fivfi oonts in anode.
DUiULVJi VUUiUJUuuovi M? . ? v ^ _x
If you havo no specie, then use other property to get
it, and thus buy the corn, or give a satisfactory note,
payablo next winter in good money. Tou can do
this, better and more offectually tban the poor wife or
widow. You.liav0*property, or^ you would have no
Tax to pay. Use it to raise the amount of your tax.
This aid is intendedTor'destitute women and children;
They have no property and cannot help themselves.
You can help them by doing your duty under tho law.
They cannot raise specie to buy corn?but you can,
by doing your duly. >
Ifyou told Mr. McKain, our collector of Stato Taxes,
that yau had lost some property by the enemy and
therefore could not pay your Taxes, he would tell you
that was no excuse, and you must pay up. In short
the proposition is this, because you have lost some
property, you ought not to pay a tax on any. This is
j amistake, and cannot bo admitted. Nor would the
I Legislature relieve y.'ii from payiDg]the Tax, on that
plea. The Board earnestly prays you to uso- alljpossl

The Board willingly will do alt in its power to aid
