Rsag"News reaches us from Washington
that pack of speculative adventurers-who
claim to have been elected from their bust
ness in Mexico by the authorities of that ma
ton, for having refused, under the advice
of Minister Forsyth, to pay the tax imposed
by the Zuloaga government-are filling the
pigeon holes of the State Department with
claims for idemnity, which, the Tribune cor
respondent says, are wholly unsupported
but by the exaggerated and false coloring
given to the facts, and which are "audacious
and rotten" What fine foundation these
bogus claims will form upon which to base
another war with Mexico, and a demand for
another slice of territory.

THE SHOEMAKER CARD.-It has been as
serted that Shoemaker was instigated to pub
lish his fiat denial of his communication
made to Hicks by thearch intriguerS Bright
and English, whose infamous treachery and
duplicity had been exposed by the inconsid-
crate and free communications of Shoema-
ker to Hicks. 1t appears that Bill English
had an appointment to speak at Leaven-
worth, but on the appearance Of Hicks dis
closures, English got on a steamer, and
passing Leavenworth, totally disregarding
his appointment to make a speech there, to
hear which large crowd had assembled
he hurried down to Perry county to see
Shoemaker, where he remained two days.
Soon after, the Shoemaker card appeared,
which must consign the man, who consent
cd to put his name to it, to deeper pit than
his worst enemies would have ever thrown
him, if they had had the power to take their
own vengeance of him. The Cannelton Re
porter thinks that by the publication of the
facts in the history and political intrigues OF
Mr.. Shoemaker, we are actuated by some
personal feelings in the matter. We have
given prominence to the affair, simply be-
cause it was a striking instance of petty am
bition Overlapping itself" and an illustra.
ton of the danger of small men attempting
to initiate the intrigues, the double-dealing
and wire-pulling of the Brights and the
arch managers. These small fry all get en-
tangled and choked in their own meshes.-
There is an admirable moral in the fate oil
the signer of the card.

A New View OF the bred Scott Decis-


A speaker before one of the Republican
clubs at Springfield, ILL.,, last week, made
point in the bred Scott doctrine of the
Supreme Court, which is new and suggest
i've, and may be worthy of consideration
bred Scott was declared to be incapable of
maintaining suit in the Federal courts be-
cause he was not q citizen. Now the con-
stitution and law constituting the court,
provide that the United States courts shall
have cognizance of causes arising between
citizens of the different States.
The Supreme Court, in the bred Scott
case, has decided that negro is not a " cit
zen" within the meaning of the above clause
of the constitution; that is, that he cannot
sue in the United States courts because he is
not citizen. As, however, by the terms of
the constitution, both parties to the suit
must be "citizens;" if the negro is ncapa-
BILE of being sued. If he cannot be plaintiff
i'm the action, neither can he be defendant,
for he is no more citizcn" in the one po-
sition than in the other.
Let us illustrate. Suppose a negro of
Illinois owes O white man of Missouri a
thousand dollars, which he refuses to pay.
The white man brings suit in the United
States Court against the negro to recover
the debt. Upon the trial, in spite of him.
self, he is thrown out of court and loose his
debt, because the suit is not between citi-
zens." One is "citizen," but the other i
a negro; and according to the bred Scott
decision the courts can give him no remedy,
The Judge tells the white man. Go out OF
the court; you have sued negro; it is de-
cided that a negro is not IA citizen, and the
Constitution says all suits must be bet,ceen cit
liens. The Constitution is the Supreme law
of the land, and must be obeyed. Go out
of court"

Judge Hovey as U. s. District Attor-

The Indianapolis Sentinel, some weeksago,
denied that Judge Hovey was removed from
the Office of U. S. District Attorney for his
Lecompton opinions; but boldly asserted
that bis removal had been made necessary
by culpablc neglect of his official duties
We remarked upon the falsehood, when it
appeared, that the paper which published
it, could have but little regard for its own
character for veracity among those who
knew Judge Hovey as intimately as the
people of the First Congressional District,
who had seen him at the bar and upon the
bench for fifteen years. His mental consti-
tuition and fixed habits rendered it incredible
that he should be slothful or negligent in
the discharge of any serious duty he had
assumed. The charge was inconsistent
with the character and mental habits of the
man. No proof was therefore required to
refute the base calumny. The accusation
has been brought to the notice of Judge
Huntington, of the U. S. District Court, be-
fore whom all of Mr.. Hovey's duties were
discharged, and who had full cognizance of
the manner in which they were performed,
and he has given the following conclusive
and unequivocal testimonial of Judge
Hovey's faithful and indefatigable attention
to official duty. He says:
al had not observed that certain political
papers in the State had ascribed your re-
moval from the office of District attorney,
to your neglect of its duties. 1t gives me
pleasure to say, that so far as your official
conduct came under my notice, it was en-.
tirely unexceptionable, nor do | know of 8
single duty devolved upon you, as govern
ment attorney, which you did not promptly
perform. Very truly yours,
EN-. HUNTINGTON.
Will the Sentinel, and the Enquirer-tha
repeated the false charge-retract it now
We have proof not only that there wer'
no other reasons for Judge Hovey's remova
than his Anti-Lecompton letter, but we hav'
conclusive evidence, that that letter was th'
only reason for his dismission from Office
The testimony not only shows the motive
by which Mr. Buchanan was actuated, blu
it proves how active in the prescription TO
opinions sake was Jesse D. Bright. ",
give dates and details, and refer to thu
records of the Attorney Generals Office fo
proofs of the correctness of the statement
