Judge Hughes, of Indiana, who held so promi- nent position as a democratic leader in the Inst House of Representatives, is believed to have been urged to the President with great zeal by an influential representation from the Northwest—Senator Bright, Gen. Lane and | Judge Holt, now the Commissioner of | Patents, has certainly been in the President's | others mind for a place in the Cabinet, or we are mis- taken. Many leading politicians, from Missis- sippi and Kentucky expecially, have doubtless advised his appointment. Our belief is that the President was yesterday much inclined to transfer Attorney General Black to the vacant | Postmaster Generalship—made the most im- portant and responsible Cabinet post by the failure of Congress to provide for the support of the Department—and to call Judge Holt to the Attorney Generalship in his stead. The Hon. John 8. Phelps, of Missouri, we be- lieve also to have been canvassed for the Post- master Generalship, in the Executive Mansion. Ilis indisposition to relinquish his present posi- tion as a Representative of the people. well known to his immetliate friends, will prove a | bar to his acceptance of such a call from the President, and will, therefore, prevent such a tender from being made tohim. At nine o'clock this morning it was very certain that among those who may justly be supposed to know most of the President’s views, it was believed that his choice would ultimately fall upon the Hon. L. 0. B. Branch, of North Carolina, who, as a man of excellent sense, business capacity, and statesmanlike attainments, ranked second to no other member of the Democratie party in the last House of Representatives. There are so | many questions entering into a selection for | such a position as that, at almost every step of their investigation they present new elements varrying conclusions in the prenrises. P. S.—Ex-Postmaster General Campbell ar- rived here on the night before last, and is at the residence of his friend. Dr. Wheelan, of the | Navy. The President is understood to have sought his advice with reference to the affairs of the Department, concerning which no gen- tleman ean be so well qualified to give advice, valuable just at this time. Tre Warrovus Casr.—Now that the Thirty- fifth Congress has terminated and dissolved, it is just and natural to make a retrospect of some of the most important matters that engaged its consideration, and, at the time, evoked the at- tention of the country. vital interest and precedents of the highest ernment. show clearly. and determinately the position it has oceupied before Congress. Tt will be recollected that this case came be- fore Congress attended by circumstances of the most imposing and dignifying kind. The voice of a sovereign State was raised in the petition for justice. And the accused Judge stood be- | fore Congress with the judgment of his guilt already determined by the deliberate verdict | of more than one preliminary investigation, so ' far as they could determine it. It is to be ob- | served that of two investigating committees of | Congress but four members, in all, were foun | to dissent from the clear and absolute conclu- | | sion of the guilt of the accused Judge of high | crime and misdemeanors, calling for impeach- mont. Agnin, when (en. Houston, of Texas, detiv- ered the remarkable speech in the Senate, | proclaiming the monstrous and multifarious public importance in the history of the Gov- | Again, we recur to this subject to | Certainly but few of the matters can bo_ esteemed more important than the proceedings | 7 n towards the impeachment of Judge Watrous, of | Yet we question whether Mr. J. will Accept a Texas, which involved questions of the most position under the Government at this time, malfeasance of the Judge, he showed the letter | of the testimony for all he asserted, and held that he had established to the satisfaction of | | the country that the proofs in the ease were complete, and demanded justice. Te said : “With respect to the malfeasance of the Judge in the cases of Mussina and Spencer, | have been roverned in my statements by the letter of the tes- timony. taken by the House committee in the in- | vestigation of his conduct. I have followed this testimony strictly, I believe, and with no other | anxiety than that of arriving at those legitimate | conclusions of fact, which {t inevitably leads to and warrants.”? This remarkable speech was made a month before the session closed. Never was an expo- | sure of facts more signal than that made in the honorable Senator's speech; never, perhaps, was given from the halls of Congress a more startling recital of deeds. And yet, mark you, | reader, not one of the Congressional defenders | of or apologists for Judge Watrous referred to | | who had dissented from the judgment of his guilt, and who had extravagantly proclaimed his innocence. ventured to say that the state- j ment of Senator Houston, proclaimed to the country, had not sufficient evidence to sustain | and warrant them ! | They have rested under the denunciations of this speech of Senator Houston in silence ! | ‘The speech of Senator Houston has placed the whole case of Judge Watrous in a new and | striking position. And it may especially serve | members of Congress who, though pretentious and clamorous as States rights men, in this | ewe slighted the earnest petition of a sovereign Dtate, and protected even from trial, a Federal officer whom the State has repeatedly accused, | repudiated, and branded as a tyrant. | This clear and comprehensive speech of the distinguished Senator we have determined, not- withstanding its extreme length, to lay before the Star's readers as opportunity may occur. We shall reproduce it for our readers, as a part of the history of the country; and because we | believe it « compendium of some of the most startling events that have marked our national | annals | Inconclusion, one reflection forces itself upon us. Itis to be observed that the entire press of the State of Texas, with the exception of a single sheet, have united in condemning Judge Watrous, and in exclaiming against his escape | from justice, for this time, through the meshes of Congressional legislation. This unanimity | certainly furnishes one of the most remarkable circumstances of the Watrous case. The re- flection forcible occurs—how terrible must have been the misdeeds of this man thus to evoke against himself the united voice of the people of a State of every party, interest and com- plexion ; and, on the other hand, we are brought to consider what powerful influences must have been employed to drown the voice of an out- raged people, and in disregard of all tho inter- ests of public justice, States’ rights, and un- doubted expediency, to deny them oven a hearing before the bar of the United States Senate, and to pass over their case without judgment and without trial from the Congress of the country. Tue Carer Justicesmip or Kaxsas.—Cir- cumstances within our knowledge lead us to the conclusion that the Hon. John Petit, og Indiana, is to be the new Chief Justice of the Territory of Kansas. Judge Petit served some years in the House of Ropresentatives of the United States, and was subsequently in the by weep sar Senate, Sinee then, he has been ba tes Judge in Minnesota Territory. When in the House, his so evident legal attain- ments and abilities caused him to be placed at the head of the Judiciary Committee, the responsible to indicate the inconsistency of Democratic | | 4 ait charged with ability second to that displayed by no other gentleman who has been the chair- man of that committee since the foundation of the Government. Personally, he is a high- toned gentleman, and politically he a been a leading Indiana Democratic His selection for the position mentior will be well received indeed througho great West. : A Caxvass Orexep.—On Monday Inst Mr. Tl. W. Thomas, the opposition nominee for Congress in the neighboring (seventh) Con- gressional district of Virginia, Mr. Wm. Smith the (Democratic) incumbent, and Mr. Henry Shackleford, another Democratic candidate for the same position, all addressed the people of Prince William county, Virginia, after the meeting of their county court. The attendance was very large, and all three speeches are represented as having been very able and highly applauded by those present, who are said to have been about equally di vided in favoring the three candidates. The Democrats present subsequently held a meet- ing. and a majority voted against holding a Congressional convention. It now seems to be understood that there will be no Democratic convention held for the district, from present appearances. Mr. Shackleford will probably lead Mr. Smith considerably in the Demooratic vote. CoNFIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE.—The Senate has confirmed Patrick H. Downey. Collector of the Customs for the district of San Pedro, Cali- fornia; Martin Russell, Surveyor of the Cus- toms, at Troy, New York; Henry N. Dowd, ditto, at Albany, New York. It is also stated, unofficially, that the Senate has confirmed the appointment of Alexander Il. Zevely, as Third Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral; of Chas. C. Weller, as Postmaster at San Francisco, Califor: and of Mr. Mandeville, as Surveyor General in California; and that Mr. Potter is renominated for the Collectorship of Toledo, Ohio. Tne Sexate.—On the day before yesterday, it was tacitly understood in the Senate cham- ber that the body would separate to-day. The lnmented death of Postmaster General Brown is, however, said to have induced the President to intimate a wish that the session should not be terminated until after the funeral shall have taken place; or, in other words, until after the nomination of a new Postmaster General shall have been made and acted upon. So, it is hardly possible that the current extra session will end before to-morrow evening, or that ol the day after. Ex-Sexator Jones, or Iowa.—We have every reason to believe that the President has tendered to this distinguished gentleman one of the most important foreign missions, as our relations with the ontside world now stand knowing, as we do, his ardent desire to render efficient service in the work of reinstating the Democratic party in the ascendency in the State he has so long represented in the Senate of the United States. P. 5.—He was yesterday nominated and con- firmed to be U.S. Minister to Bogota. His nomination was entirely unsolicited, and it is not known that he will accept. Ratirizp.—The Senate yesterday ratified the Cass-Herran treaty with a proviso that persons who have not yet presented their claims against the Government of New Gra- nada, may have an opportunity to do so at any time previous to the final action on this treaty by the Congress of that nation. The Washing- ton and Oregon Indian treaties were also rati- fied by the Senate. Apsourxen.—The Board of Army Officers called together several days ago by order of Secretary Floyd, to devise means for reducing the expenditures of that branch of the public service, adjourned yesterday afternoon. They have not yet made a report. Nomis ateD.—As we go to press, we have sai- isfied ourself that Judge Joseph Holt, of Ker- tucky, now Commissioner of Patents, had been nominated to the Senate for Postmaster Gen- eral an hour before. Coxrinmep.—The renomination ol the Hon. Emery D. Potter to be Collector of Customs at Toledo, Ohio, was confirmed by the Senate this morning. Tue Axxouncemest or tar Deata.—At noon, to-day, an Executive message to the Senate announcing the death of the late Postmaster General Brown was sent to the Capitol.
