The Rochester Democrat, A

leading Rtpublican Journal, " pitches iu" to one Senator Ciiahm5r, - conimonly known aa " Z:u;k" - for saying in a recent speech in New York tbat the arimes of the United Staten were competent to meet on a singlo battlo-field the eombined armiei of the worM. It intimates that " such bosh" nny do for the columns of a ono-horao newspapor, but that it ouglit uot to bo nttered by B " distinguishud" Senator, wiio ouglit to kuow better f ho don't, Tlio Demoer ai should r'eaieihber t.liat if Ciiándler is conüiK'd to what ho roslly knows, it will spoil ninc-leulba of his speeches, and could the country survive tbat ?

The arrest, dotention, and trial, under the circumstanees made public, was outrage enougli, with out keeping ;m acquittcd man in a clo-e and foul prison until the red-tapo and bUhv. coach Judge Advocate's office shall announce its approval of the acquittal. L3T While the radicáis had President LiKCor.N to deal with, and "differences of opinión" existed, they were wont to bully and bluster, impose upon his good nature, and " tolérate " him until they could get what they wanted. But, now, seeing that they have a different type of man to approach, they tbemselves beg for " tolortition," hoping that time wi'l do tha rest. Ilear what the Chicago Triluue saj-s on the point: ' While we sincerely deprécate a difference of opinión between President Jolmsou and the majority of his party on this question, wo eau not shut our eyea to the faet that such a difference exists. President Johnson, if he is the man we take him to be, will meet bis I party in Congress with a manly toleration and a bcarty respect for the opiuions of all." 1 ■ I -il M- - { S5S" Tlie war depnTtment has isaued i %v. order permitting soldiers wisbing to ; retain tueir arms the privüegfl Lf dorg so by paying for them.
