FOR Union.
II civilized government in penal administration,
s5oud make severe exception against any particular in
disidns it would naturally illustrate the exceptional Sc
verify in the person of pirate other outlaw. If once
in century, example of the very vengeance Of the law
was necessary to the safety Of the people such convict
would be the fitting suerer-aot the gentleman, the
scholar, the finished iurist and the Christian.
Such reflections inspecting the proceedings
thus far against Judge John Charles warous Of the Uni
ted States district court Of Texas
The prosecuting parties have hope Of inuring him
permanently temporary stigma him is the largest
OF their expectations They delight TO annoy him They
have joy in such revenge They undervalne the of
the accused when they aGe that their conrivances of
persecution can provoke him nom the propretes of his
position They overesae the forbearance of the House
of Representatives when that body shall afford itself The
opportunity to chasse the ugge of this conspiracy de-
fame just and heroic Judge.
Honorable members have already said in debate that
trial dine to Judge Warons and should be demanded by
himself
He does demand itnot by parts inquis;hon-not in
the breath that Issues from the informers mouti1-but
according to the canons Of evidence.
To be held up whole yeAr on cslumnious informa-

sentatvewithout opportunity to expose the conspirA-
torss just what there s public necessity for imposing
on him
Away from here holding his courts in Texas he took
it for granted that the Judiciary Committee they
giving serious consideration 10 these calunies would
cite him TO their presence
in 1852 he demanded and had audience of the commit
tee to nearly all Of these very charges After full notice
the adge was present The prosecutors all there with
their witnesses The rules of evidence applied by the
committee. The investigation searching and thorough
The prosecution closed in convicted forgery. Judge Wa
rcuss vndication complete The prosecutors retired
in dismsy Satisfied with that selfproseron which the
committee had accorded him, the Judge did pursue
and expose these prosecutors Had he done So might
have oresaled the sDeaLng apologies they made for their
discontinue that the committee did take time to in
vastigate and closed in "a sort of compromise This

Of evening journal 1t may have served to dupe
the editor Shall it dupe the Judiciary Committee or
the House Of Representatives.
The committees investigation in 1854 let il be here re-
peaied, thorough and without compromise The
Judges vindication equally thorough and without
compromise"
The Judiciary Committee in 1852 did moi abuegate the
Office of grand jury because suspicious of ncontinent
ignorant hard swearing they chose crtse patiently
and allow Il be exposed By conclusive documentary and
oral proof with al the parties face face That Judiciary
Committee YVES not the less grand jury because instead
of returning true bill foregone conclusion they I-
for intercepted and discovered asehood Thus
while consgnng, they charitably thought these false
hoods oblivion and unworthy the more formal and
did substantial justice the snbectmater and relieved
the House Of Representatives Of the complications which in
The very premises naked p1fs proceeding has
imposed on thai body.
As Illustrating the inaptness Of such proceeding let il
be here noted that al the charges preferred against
Judge Wairous in 1861, and then thoroughly examined
snd then dsgrseed for Hbellous lsehood and now re-
wired and repeated but two impeachabe matters are now
added one that be ahsened himself from Texas to BAY in
Mexico fraudulent land TILES the other that he made or
ders in the large Lapsey land cases while corrupy
ceaing his personal interest in the subjectnats in
Issue.
Now tie frsnaned Of these two new charges LET
il be noted that there in this city the very best pos
sble proof that such issue afford branding il AZ
fslsehood, without compromise
As to the only remaining matter nov charged let
be noted by the members Of the House Of Represent
ares that there is in this city and has been here
for days past the service OF their Judiciary Comm
the most exempfed record-exposng
the shameless andsrity of the falsehood.
Can II be possible that the House Will deliberately send
such convicted lsshood the Senate fox their formal
judgment thereon only because natural and essy
prort Of such record may be in deroga,on Of the az
parse prerogatires Of Judiciary Committee?
The real difficulty in Texas not much the slsndsred
