AN OLD CosvICT.-Anderson Brooks
af'ds FOSTER an old convict and perhaps one of the
worst characters in the State, has served twenty
six years and six months in the Pententiary, and
is now doing good service for the city in the chain
gang He was raised in this immediate neighbsr-
hood, ana when young man was looked upon as
desperate. His first Imprisonment was for burn.
Ing his wife alive for which he served ten wears In
the penitentiary. On his liberation he went 10
kanawha county, where he committed daring
theit, OF which he was convicted and re-sentenced
to the Penitentiary. On his way down, he sue.
eeeded IN robbing the Sheriff of $500, which was
found when he was searched in the State prisoner
Taking this case a fair illustration, it vould
seem that long sentences has no more effect upon
the morals of crimnals than short ones

The TARIFF-THE FNAxcEs-A SrGS ~ THE
HorsE.--On the very first day OF the present
session Of Congress, Mr.. Dcwart, Of Pennsylvania,
asked leave 10 introduce resolution instructing
the Committee on Ways and Means to report
bill increasing the duty on coal and iron. and
at the request Of several gentlemen, he included
lead sugar and such other articles as need
protection against foreign competition. OBJ
lection being made, Mr.. Dewart moved
a suspension q the rules, and the vote was-for
the motion, 1902; against II, 81. Twothiris being
required for suspension Of the rule, the motion
failed; but the importance Of the vote lies In the
decided majority disclosed In favor Of the pro-
tcciiye system. The treasury il short of funds;
it, expenses are certain and heavy, and its re
ecipts insufficient and doubtful under the re
duced tariff Of 1857. The first necessity with
the government II an Increase Of its revenues.
This increase the President proposes to gain by
new tariff law, including specific duties upon
iron aud some other articles, thus afording
practical incidental protection 10 home manufac-
lures; ard we have no doubt, from this prelimi-
nary vote Of the House on the general issue, that
new revenue system in conformity with the
Presidents views can be passed at the present
session The Southern democracy are opposed
to the Presidents system; but they can be spared,
In view Of the accession Of the whole strength Of
the opposition. Thus, as IL repeatedly happened
during the last session, so we discover from the
first proceedings Of the present, that where,
upon any great practical question, the President
il deserted by bis own partisans, the deficiency
IL made up from the opposition side. Let his
faithful supporters in Congress, therefore, push
Forward the work Of the message, tariff and Il.

THE CASE OF DOUGLAS WORSE AND WORSE
II appears that there will be no finching to-
morrow, on the part of the democratic majority
OF the Senate, in the expulsion of Mr.. Douglas
from his high position in the party camp, of
Chairman ON Territories. The thing is iiyed aud
even if there were half dozen fshy democrats
disposed to back up the little mschiefmaker.
there would be no hope for him, inasmuch as the
republicans have resolved unanimously to drop
him. His denunciations Of their party, their
leaders and their principles, since the Illinois
election, have completely cured them of their
late Kansas sympathies for poor Douglas When
lie opened his Illinois campaign he was full of
smooth words and soft Establishments for the
patriotic republicans and Americans" who had
co-operated with him against the Kansas policy
Of the administration; but the moment he sup
posed that his State election had given him Sc.
cure majority in the Legislature, he began to
sing his old song Of abolitionism and black re-
publicanism, and 10 speak like one having au-
thority Of the reorganization of the democracy.
In this exalted frame Of mind he is of upon
his present Southern pilgrimage down the Mis-
sissippi. Carrying, as he supposes, the State
Of Illinois in bis breeches pocket, he fances him
self possessed Of that Northern balance of power
which makes him the arbiter of the democratic
party in reference to the succession. We apprc-
bend. however, that this significant act Of expul-
sion of Mr.. Douglas from that position in the
Senate which has given him oil his political
capital and party Influence will bring him down
from his lofty calculations to proper under
standing Of his true situation. In this connec-
ton we think it very likely that his case in the
Illinois Legislature will prove 10 he very des-
peratc one. With only q nominal majority of
three or four, at most, ia either house, we ven
turc the prediction. that in consequence Of his
accommodation by the democracy Of the
United States Senate ~ contumacious hereto,
lac will not secure reelection to the Senate.
The action Of the republicans at Washing
ton upon his case will give The key to their
brethren Of the Illinois Legislature, while the
action Of the democrats Of the federal Senate will
be very apt to create fatal diversion in the ILL
nois camp upon which Mr.. Douglas 80 confident
y relics for reelection. A decisive defeat In the
November State election would have been inf
nitely better for him than the delusve victory
UPON which he plumes himself a. party dicta-
tor. pride goetb before fall, and great will
be the fall of Douglas.

been advised from well Informed sources, an
baye repeatedly stated in the columns Of the
HERALD, that these assurances have been given
BY England to President Martinez; and had the
preparations Of the Transit Company been made
with that certainty which should attend such an
enterprise, we should have experienced an un.
foreseen collision with Nicaragua aud her Euro
pean allies, which, though now delayed for a
time, will certainly occur.
1t bchovcs the administration and Congress
to prepare for the serious work that Is before
them. The policy which England and France
have evidently determined to pursue in regard
to the American Isthinus and the American Medi-
tcrranesn, is clear and palpable. We should
meet it without hesitancy, and with spirit
equal to the great future that il before uA Let
Congress at once pass the resolution abrogating
the Clay ton Bulwer treaty. That treaty is
dead letter in every way; aud if it were not,
England has violated it in her recent exercise of
an armed protectora.e in Nicaragua. She may
yet throw the treaty back to us in view Of the
long time that we are palavering about throwing
it back to her. Then Congress should at
once net upon the suggestions Of the Presi-
dents message, and authorize the purchase
of Cuba and the establishment of military
posts in chihuahua and Sonora. Then ii should
give the President the authority to use such force
as he mag deem proper in the settlement of the
pending difficulties with Central America Had
this been done last session, when it was asked
for and should have been given, we might have
been saved from many Of the difficulties we shall
now have to encounter. 1t should follow this
up with The authority to build twenty light
draught, fast and heavily armed steamers We
want this class Of vessels every where to-day, and
the necessity for them win increase, not dimi-
nish. And, finally, it should authorize the Presi-
dent to send special missions at once to England,
France and Spain, telling those Powers that We
are not to be hrmbugged by the trumpery as
surances Of the Napiers, Ouseleys, Sartiges and
Tassaras; that their governments are virtuous
and have honest intentions about Cuba, Mexico
and General America. These things should be
done, and done at onoe. Congress will yet find
that it has something more than President
making to do this session. And the develope-
ments in these southern questions that will take
place in the next eighteen months will sweep
from the board every Presidential aspirant who
does not take the right position on them now.

Of the three, il had only the name Of Sne OF
tbtnl~- kaiac dc Agnirre- attached, by way OF
signature. How was this difficulty got around
Simply thus: the counsel for Lapsley had him
stll engaged TO defend suit brought to recover
possession Of other property olaimsd under one
Of the other eleven league grants. There were
two uials. The first resulted, we believe, in
favor of the plaintiffs; Judge Watrous granted
new trial. and at this new trial the counsel to
whom we allude was the senior counsel for the
defendants.
1t was NJ cessary to the plaintiff case to prove
this joint power of attorney, and tho facility to
10 so was supplied by the opposite counsel, who,
il is !sscrted, actually Furnished tho document
aud let It go in aud be marked as of record in
The case. This recording gave it certain de-
gree of authenticity at the other trial at New Or
leans and thus this necessary link in the chain
Of title was supplied.
These are the salient facts In the case. The
Legislature of Texas have on several occasions
pettiontd Congress to impeach Judge Watrous,
which is the only constitutional mode by which
lie can be removed At one Congress the Judi
ciary Committee of the House reported against
his impeachment, and at the last Congress the
same committee unanimously reported in favor
Of his impeachment But the report was pre-
scented on the very last day of the Congress,
when il was impossible to have action taken
upon 1t. The matter was fully examined by the
Judiciary Committee at last session, and the
committee was equally divided on the subject
four being in favor of impeachment aud four
against it The question for the House to decide
it, shall Judge Watrous be impeached? If they
decide it in the affirmative, then it will devolve
on the Senate to try him, and it will require
vote of two-thirds to declare him guilty of high
crimes and misdemeanors. Does his completely
In these land suits amount to cause for removal
1t is that which the Senate will have to decide,
If the House, which sits as q sort of Grand Jury,
agree to impeach him.
