' CHASE AND THE DEMOCRACY". The Democrats, as they call themselves, are in a truly bad way. They hare no can didate of their party that can be elected on the principles of the present bogus Demo cracy. Temlleton is perhaps tho truest ex ponent of the principles of their leaders, but these principles they know are almost as odious as those of Jeff. Davis himself, to tho honest masses. They are now in such straits, that they are willing to adopt Judge Chase, tho ' greatest abolitionist, next to Wendell Thilips, in the country, as their - T.vl.n AT.treiaant tltO nmfp.flPfl cnuuiiimv. uuiiu . .on. . , -" i" -- pugilist and gambling member from New York, says the New York delegation, all but himself, aro for Chase, but he , goes forTen dlcton. If they are dctormiued to take up the refuse candidates, of what they call tho nigger party, why not tnko up Wendell Thilips, or Garrison, as Vice President, and make the ticket complole. If any one ever had any doubts, that the principles which governed tho present Democratic party, aro those which John Randolph denominated the seven principles of the Cve loaves and two fishes, hiB eyes must be opened by this humiliating spectacle. The great Democratic party clown on its knees imploring Chase, the great abolitionist and negro advocate, to become their, candidate ! Tho New York HcvnJd now leads the Democracy, and favors Chase and Dlx, with Gov. Seymour for Sec retary of State ; Fcssendcu for the Treasury ; Pendleton, Attorney General ; Hendricks, Interior; Farrngut, Navy; and General JlcClclIan, Secretary of War. A friend called our attention to a scur rilous article, in a paper, called the Inde pendent, published in this place, in regard to tho procession of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the strewing of flowers ovor tho soldier's graves.

Instead ol gating up baits to tempt some of the rats out of that party.it will go into the campaign with the loudest thunders against every ono and all of its abominations, aud rouse, .up the people with the wildest spirit of horror and rovengo at all its principles and its acts.

Rut if the Democratic politicians get up a cunning dodging platform, with a hobbling candidato to suit, the party will be, and ought to be, ignominiously defeat ed. TnE Rational Oaiette, (Berlin,) calls at tention to theact, thst, whatever may be the result of the impeachment of President Johnson, the United States may, from the 4th of March, 18CC, look forward to a career of unparalleled prosperity and greatness. It says : One thing is certain, so far as tho imme diate political future of the United States is concerned. General Grant will be the next President of the Republic. The strife be tween the various branches or tno Govern ment will then be at tin end. His Cabinet will consist of the most eminent men of the majority men whom the people trust and revere, and whom both Houses of Congress will enthusiastically support in all their lead ing measures. The harmony, now sadly wanting, between tho executive and legisla tive departments having been restored, the political importance of the Supreme Court, which has now given rise to so many hopes and feara, will dwindle down to nothing, and people will care very little about the nolitical opinions of the Judges composing that tribunal. The reconstruction of the Southern States, if not accomplished before that time, will proceed as rapidly as it, until now, has dragged along 'Blowly ; and with political haimony in the councils of tho na tion will come material prosperity. A new impetus will be given to industry, commerce, and agriculture ; ond, with elements of suc cess such as no other1 conntry in the world has within its grasp, the people of the Uni ted States are sure to make strides forward which, ftccustomcd as wc are to wonderful performances in that respect in America, will distaucc and eclipse all that has been achieved up to this time.

Geary related the following important fact : "On a certain occasion, when dining with Grant ftt Chattanooca. after the cloth had been removed, he called tor his maps, wiiicli he spread hefore me, and said : "'Sir, you and your division nave been instrumental in obtaining the victories around this city. The plan for the next campaign is already termed, and it is proper tnai you snouiu know it. I inteud to concentrate my troops around this place, and pour them on Atlan ta, while a strong ottack is made on Rich mond. After Atlanta falls, a line will bo taken for the set shore ending cither at Charlcstown or Suvanah ; and having thus made our point, wo will enter the Carolina and attack Richmond." This was in 18f8, nino months before the city of Atlanta was takep.

The career of Schuyler Colfax, says the Dayton Journal signally illustrates the manner in which men rise to eminence under a Repub lican form of govenmout liko ours," lion. John D. Dcfrees, of Indiana, now Superin tendent of Public Printing ut Washington, related the following to us on the wuy t. Chicago. . Mr. Delreas was practicinz taw i St. Joseph's county,' Iodluua, and saw. Schnvlcr Colfax, a briihLboueBt,'promiiiint( boy of tiltccu, clerking iu hid step father's store. The family were poor, and BcUUyltr assisted in its support. Mr. Dulrres i practicing Ian-, and becoming interested in the lad, iuvited him to enter his orliue and study law. Schuyler declined on the plea, that the iaindy required bis services.. The otTice of county auditor bad just, been crea ted, anil Mr. Defrets proposed that lWslqp latner, who was a goou dusiucis man, enould become a candidate for it. And,. if elected, to appoint Schuyler bis.;ileputy. The sr. rangument .was coDsummatud, and,, while Schuylei was in the office ho studied law under the direction of Mr, Defrees. Thq latter was subsequently elcctetl to the Leg islature, and'took Schuyler to Indianapnltej where he was appointed a clerk in the A, scmbly. Mf. Defrees meantime nurchasad the Indianapolis Journal and gave Schuyln p poMiiou as reporter, lie was zealous and studious. 'and became a co-od ncwsuaDer man. Being ambltlogs. ho returned to. his own county in nig twenty third year, and established the St. Joseph Vallev Ecmstor. At that time he knew nothing of tho prac tical art of printing, but necessity drove him to the case, and he soon became a proficient uuwpiiuocr nana, jus editorials were pre- Cancel with scrupi-lous care and "6Ctun'f by U own hands. Sound Deuociiatic Opinions. s-A con versation to the, following .effect leccntly took place it js stated, between. Gen. Grant anu uovernor Lurtin : "Why do you like the Methodists, Gcuer al?" finally asked Curtin. "Because their religion is one of bsrd knocks. They take hold of a man and never let him drop until they have citltr couvertcd him or scared him so he will say his prayers somo lime iu his life, and thus uiui, uu a emtio, "men, too- it is au American religion,' The Metho dists aro entirely democratic, yet no Church appreciates the value- of union,, federaliza. tion, or centralisation in goverment more than the Methodists.

" ' It ARB DEYELOrSf F.NTS LOOKED VOIt. ' There are a number of witnesses yet to be called, and there will be some very rich de velopments when Mr. Butler's final report comes to be made. He will show that very large sums of money wore raised to defeat impeachment... Circumstantial evidence is very clear where some of it went to, and how other corrupt influences were at work, and where tbe moneyed influences in the Indian Bureau had their hold upon certain men who disappointed their friends, and wont for acquittal. They had a witness up yesterday who was formerly clerk to the Senate Committee of which Mr. Porncroy was chairman, and who franked Mr. Pome roy's documents and letters, and who is now a clerk in the Treasury Department, and a Johnson man. He admitted that be had been approached by one of the SPECIAL AGENTS OF TFIK POST-OFFICE DE PARTMENT, Who be named, and was asked to irrlte Utter nimilar to the one Cooper testified to hw ing leen wirn him of Mr. I'omeroy't, and that he declined to do it, and was called uuon a second time aud a thousand dollars ojrcrfl him to do it, but he positively refused, aud that he docs not know who tbey next applied to or if they cot tbe letter they de sired. This letter, it should be noted, has never been produced by Cooper, nor have any of the managers or Senator Pomcroy's friends ever seen it.' This witness, Lewis, is not a tneud ot Nr. l'omcroy s, but is re latcd to Perry Fuller. There aro several witnesses here from Cincinnati who are to testify further in regard to Wooley.'s bank account. His Cincinnati client, to whom ho first Swore be had sent sixteen thousaud dollars, denies having had any business involving any such item, and no amount of money was sent to turn by Mr. Wooley r.t any time Ills bank account theic shows he has had largo surhs of money and was a leading man in the whisky ring, but according tr statements of bank men to outsiders. But these men do not know what other ccues Butler and Loran may have. Messrs. Bingham, IJoutwell and Williams are at home, and Messrs. Butler and Logan are conducting tue case during tlieir ab Scnce, as a sub-committee. Wooley will be transfcrcd to bis cell to-morrow or next day. THE TAX DILL. The House made such progress, yesterday on tbe Tax-bill that if it runs alone as rap idly for a few days more, it will very likely pass the House, and if it does, the Senate will not consent to an adjournment untit they havo' -aotcd ' upon it.

The Ways and Mcsns Committee bad a protracted session to-day, on the subject of postponing tbe tax inn. i'.acn oi the committee expressed his views fully on the prospect of getting the bill through at the present session, and on the importah.ee of action on it at once. The entire committee. Democrats ns well as Republicans, are unanimously against any postponement, and they have agreed to ro sist all attempts at -delay or postponement in the House. The chairman of the com mittee expresses the belief that a maiority of the House will sustain the committee, and that tbe bill Will 1 e passed through in its present shape. The responsibility for the success or failure of the bill will thus be thrown upon the Senate. Many of the mem bers ot that body are opposed to taking action on the bill this session, for the reason that it will keep them here during the warm weatner. It is thought, however, that if the House passes it, the Senate will be compelled to net in order to relieve itself from the respon sibility of defeating a measure which is conceded to lo of the utmost importance tto tue public interest.

Tbe revenue of the Mexican republic for the coming year from duties and taxes is estimated at $1 8,000.000. A subvention had been granted to the Zangronct Railway. Numerous pronunciamentos were taking place everywhere. Batanzo had pronounc ed against Juarez at Picacho, proclaiming Porririo Diaz as President. He was routed, and his adherents put to flight. The Mexican nrmy is to be reorganized, and will consist of four divisions of 4000 men each. e There were no intercinc troubles in the State of Queretaro.

Tbe bail-stones penetrated tbe best roofs, going through tin roofs like cannon balls. All the windows facing to tbe north have been smashed in, and even the window abutters and doors were broken down. The appearance of the city could not have been worse under a sovere bombardment Trees are stripped of their leaves and branch es. which lie oiled no in the varda and streets the sides of houses exposed to the hail have the appearance of bavins with stood a thousand discbarges of grape and canister, The roofing of tbe entire city is perforated like a sieve. 'The hail-stones were of Irregular shape and all sizes, as if mass of ice had broken above our devoted heads, and driven by a tornado to the eartb Ono hailstone was found weighing over five pounds, while a great many as Targe as a man s list were picked up. Many oi tne tamuies whose houses were beaten down took shelter under beds and ta- bles,and thus escaped bodily harm. We have only heard of one death, a negro boy; several had limbs broken and were severely bruised, while tbe whole population was frightened almost to death. The damago is of every character, nnd $500,000 will not cover it all ; roofs were universally destroyed and windows broken in; household furniture was entirely de molished in some bouses, and in many stores tne damage was groat. The Menger House was greatly damaged, the Kloopper Hotel is almost a wreck, the convent buildings are terribly cut up. All the blinds and window class on the northern side ate destroyed. i rench's bonding sunered greatly, and, in fact, all buildings having windows to the north. General Mason's residence was uu roofed and his family exposed to tho incle moot Btorm. But the most distressing pic ture oi an aro tue habitations ot tho poor people, their bouses battered in, household goods destroyed, and their little gardens ruined. 1 lie com patches nnd cardens are uattcncu '.o tne ground, nnd have the an pearance of having passed through a chop ping mill.

Never in the history of this city. never in the memory of the oldest inhabi tant, was such a BtaV'm experienced. We learn that the hail-storm commenced eight miles this side of New-Braunfels, reacucu oniy a snort distance below our city, and extended from live to twenty miles m width destroying evervtuinct over region of thirty miles from north to south and ten to twenty miles from east to west IIHEVllltiN.

( Editor "Ametiican Dear Sir .'Having re cently returned from a trip through South ern Kansas ; Allen, Woodson, Neosho, La bette, Wilson and other counties, and ac quired some knowledge whilo there of the advantages of the country, which may be of interest to persons .contemplating emigra tion West. I present them and ask the fa vor of their publication in your valuable paper. In the first place, I will say that, for par ties with moderate means, Southern Kansas presents a field, better in my judgment, than any which has been offered for many years. The land acquired by the government through treaty with the Osage Indians, is of tho very best quality. Most of it rolling prairie, and the streams well timbered, with hickory, ash, black-oak, walnut, sugar-maple, &c., &o., and in consequence of the fine prairie, farms can be opened up with com paratively, little labor. AVheat, corn, oats and potatoes are cultivated successfully. I saw on the 7th of May, corn ten inches high. Frnits of all kinds do remarkably well. The apples, peach, cherry and grape culture, I think cannot be excelled by California even. The climate is moderate in summer, temper ed by fine breezes sweeping over the prairies, and in winter so mild that it is rare cattle are providol for. Grazing nn tho fine grass, they do well the year round. A large emmigration is making its way into that portion of Kansas, and there is an extensive body of land open for settlement, all can find homes snd to spare. Very Respectfully, Yours, W. J. Martin.
