Mr.. NORRIS I'LL gave notice Of bis intention b.
introduce bill providing ior the election Of Goveraors
end judges by the people in the organized Territories
also bill TO admit sugar and salt free OF d1ty, and
bill to amend the naturallz aton laws.
TIE report If the Judiciary Committee in the case
Of Judge Wairous was ther taken up.
Mr.. READY Tenn wanted q pos'ponement until
next Thursday in order to enable tie Members 70 look
into the case.
Nj HOUSTON Ala said that If this case. which
involves impeachment, is to consume the time OF
tbs Senate, the body ought at once to be enabled to
take the inatory steps the subject. Therefore he
opposed to postponenen,.
Mr.. CRAIG N. C. remarked that the fac.s and
evidence covered 2,000 pages, AMI members should
have an opportunity to look into il.
Mr.. JOHN COCHRANE N. Y thought the case
caim.d comprehensive and proper decision, and now
vss the time to prepare for IT,
MIR. REAGAN Texas hoped the House would not
postpone the case from day to day, as the effect
might be to defeat action the subject the session.
After further debate the House refused to post
pone and proceeded to the consiierai) oi the sub
Mr.. CHAPMAN Penn remarked that tao memo
riss had been sent to the House asking for the in
peaflHeit OF Judge W dIOus Ol lrAts anu pIpCtcNci
To review the facts and testimony the case involving
charges that he secretly engaged in land specula-
tons showiIx degree Of Off oia misconduct .hicn
admits Of no excuse ard gross exercise of his judi
cal 20 Not only did he arrange to sit ir cases
covering his own private interests, but to remove
others to New Orleans TO be placed beyond the reach
Of Texas Jurors and ,gaLts. Mr.. Chapman believed
that confidence in Judge Watrous's administration
had been shaken TO its foundation, and he owed IT to
himself ard the purty e the Judiciaryo ask no longer
to avoid trial, which he should either demand or re-
sign. Tie duty of the House WAS simply to ascertain
whether there is probable cause /, was not for
the House to inquire whether he is Innocent guilty
Tint was for the Senate to determine.
Mr.. TAPPAN (N. III wss opposed to the impeach-
meIt Of Judge Watrous. He asked tue House to ex-
anime the evidence, and not be diverted from toe
proper line Of proceeding by outside pressure. On
THE evidence alone, he wanted them to say whether
Wairous innocent or guilty. The resolutions OF
the Legislature Of Texas in condemnation Of his con.
duct grew of hs decision touching the statute OF
limitations and affecting the pockets of the people OF
that State which decision was sustained by the Su-
preme Court Of tie Uued States He said there WAS
no evidenc. TO show that Watrous contemplated sit
chase of lard be lost rome his rights citizen of
Texas Judge Wa;rous had done rohlDg to prevent
him from coming from this ordeal without even smell
on bis garments Instead of couceang, tue evidence
showed that WatIOus promptly disclosed that he had
an interest 10 Cersiu connection with which
charges were brought against him. NJ. Tappan en-
tered into general defense for this purpose. Al
iourned.
