They purport to contain s most extraordiary history of a stu- pendous conspiracy to take advantage of the land controversies of Texas—a conspiracy in which Senator H. alleges Judge Watrous con- stantly appeared, in which men of respecta- bility and position were enlisted, in which open propositions were made to corrupt the courts, and in which are exhibited alleged secret and conspirant letters, making exposures of, as Sen- ator H. urges, a purpose to deal out a regular system of fraud through the machinery of Judge Watrous’s court. According to Sena‘or Houston, it appears that the conspiracy was first organized in New York city, with a view of dealing in fraudulent land certificates, a felony punishable by stripes; that one step in the organization was to secure John C. Watrous,U. 8. District Judge of Texas, with cireuit powers; and that his court was abused, and made to subserve the private and corrupt ends of the conspiracy, in the frauds pee nthe vibe eclipse SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, speaking of the ‘“‘old fashioned test” adopted by Jefferson of inquiring whetber an applicant for office was “‘a friend to the Constitution,’ asks whether the rule ought to be relaxed. It attributes the present pror- perity of our country tothe Constitution under which we live, and regards fidelity to that Constitution on the part of the administration and federsl officers as the greatest safeguard of fature stability and prosperity. The same paper speaking of our Army and Navy in Europe, is confident that officers can be foundin the American Army and Navy who have not their equals in the military establish- ments of all the nations of Europe in the art and science of war, but that in point of meg- nitude and power our two arms of service as compared with the armies and navies of Europe are bat as pigmies to giants. The same paper has a long article from the Albany Atlas and Argus upon the manage- ment of financial affairs in the Empire State, and gives a brief history of Mr. Hatch’s suc- cessful efforts in the Legislature of that State, in 1851, in overthrowing the nine million scheme of canal lettings in the hands of jobbers and plunderers, and the result of those efforts in an amendment by the people of their Constitu- tion, and the incorporation in it of this unomal- ous clause in their organic law that “‘all the contracts for work or materials on any canal shall be made with the person who shall offer to do or provide the same at the lowest price, with adequate security for their performance.” The Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional proceedings and news to-day. . THE WEEKLY STAR. This valuable and popular paper, full of Me- tropolitan News and Gossip, and choice literary reading, is now on our counter, ready for de- livery to the public, Among ils interesting contents are the following articles : The Killing Princess ; or, The Water of Gold—a very interesting tale ; Pompey’s Pillar—an amusing sketch ; Rev. Mr. Conway, (formerly of this csty,) on Prostitution ; Connubial Rupture in England—a Lon- don divorce case of a very spicy character ; A Burlesque Woman's Rights Conven- tion ; Marriage by Wholesale ; Plagiarism most Unblushing—an or iginal paper, which has caused the greatest excite- ment throughout literary circles of the erty and country ; The Two Cats of the Capitol, an Indian Legend—ly a talented correspondent of the Star ; Local Intelligence ; Washington News and Gosstp : Congressional Proceedings ; Department News ; Edttorials ; Tateresting Personal Items; Late News by Mail and Telegraph ; &e. This paper contains no advertisements, but consists of eight pages of interesting reading matter. Itis just the paper, above all others, for Congressmen and others sojourning in the National Metropolis, to send to their friends at have been a direct partner. The history of thisland conspiracy as developed by Senator Houston, is traced by him as being connected with the de pments lately made in the House investigation of the malfeasance and alleged corruptions of Judge Watrous in despoiling Spencer and other settlers of their land; in corruptly using his court to this end; in assisting in the procurement of a forged muniment of title; in oppressing Mussina, a suitor in his Court, &c., &c., to compass cor- Tupt and revengeful purposes; such being the charges for which he was lately arraigned be- fere the House. The expose of Senator Houston purports to ex- hibit a sum of alleged crime that is monstrous tocontemplate. His alleged revelations of the conspiracy against the public domain in Texas are of surpassing interest, and will command the attention of the country. They purport to come through the channel of the written con- spirant communications of the alleged parties themselves, and, as explained in Senator H.’s speech, are surrounded by circumstances of a deep and almost thrilling romance of misdeeds. Thus he seeks to show men essaying one of the most gigantic schemes of fraud “ever attempted to be fastened upon any commu- nity,” hesitating at nothing, bold, unserupu- lous, defiant; pressing into their service men of talent and apparent position ; working in deep scereey, united by watchwords, vieing in desperate undertakings, and extending in its ramifications through different States, and, Senator H alleged, it may be through the high- est legislative as well as judicial offices in the country.

In no portion of the boasting North is the negro race treated more kindly by all classes of American citizens than here; nor is there any other American community in which the race follow more dignified and remunerative occupations. Their destiny is either barbar- ism, as in Africa and St. Domingo, or servility, as in the United States and everywhere else since the building of the Egyptian pyramids, when in contact with other races. The rule has been an invariable one, dependant on higher laws than those made by man. The fling at the mechanics and laboring men of Washington in which the abolitionists get- ting up this petition indulge, is false; for the race here are treated by them with far more kindness than by any large class in any North- ern city. No class here outrages nature by following the example of Garrison et a/., in their intercourse with the negro race. Yet all classes respect their legal and moral rights muchgmore invariably than in any Northern community where they are numerous. Else, Perhaps, those in Washington would not be, as they are, far better off than in New York or Philadelphia. “A Dseu'> Unrceasant Conpse!”—We Tegret to see by the Associated Press dispatch tothe Baltimore Su» that there has been a demise in the ranks of the diplomats here; but why, tell us why, oh, Associated Press, do they propose to parade the ‘diplomatic corpse’’ at the coming Napier ball?

Since the intro- duction of the Gregorian Almanac this bas only been the case in the years 1639, 1707, and 1791 — The period in which Easter can fall reaches from the 22d of March (earliest date) to the 25th of April, (la’est date,) leaving thirty five differ- ent days for the celebration of this festival. In this century Easter will fall only once (1888) on the latest date, the 25th of April. ——— FRIDAY, i gh Bee ie Pan L rawn on rh . . ° ‘78 numbers—Is ballots.
