In the case of tie bark Panchita, seized a. a
saver on the coast Of Africa by British cruiser,
brought here By British officers, and lbeled as
such in the District Court, Judge Belts has over
ruled The defense set up on the ground of former
proceedings against the vessel These proceedings
were no longer pending, and any rrcg'ilarity as to
their disconiinuance would be put right by the
Court Nor could the former discharge be
ayaled of, as the ofense now alleged must be
considered as having occurred subsequently. The
Judge held that the seizure of the vessel by
British ship-of-war on the coast of Africs, aud her
arrest and detention her arrival here, were
a sufficient reason te support the present nforma-
ton.
Nevertheless he acquitted the vessel on the
ground of the insUficiency of the proof OF her
intention to engage in the slave trade. The COM
position of the crew and the state of the outfit
did not prove it; and to the declarations of the
master. though if established, they would have
been sufficient, yet in this case they were proved
only by the mate Hodge, whose own sworn state
ments to the contrary defect Of any corroborating
evidence, Of which there none. were snifi tent
10 nullify his testimony.

,ts,aed for fllibus.er expedition, and seized 10
the barbor of Port-au-Prnce, the question was
r,i.sd whether officers Of the navy could make
seizures in foreign port, and Judge Belts decided
that they could.
Suppose that the authorities Of Nicaragua had
expressly requested Commodore Paulding to seize
Walker and take him away, would he not IN that
case have had right to do SOL Bot there are
many cases in which it il not necessary TO wait for
on express authority and request-cases in which
such authority and request may fairly be presumed
from the circumstances; and this seizure Of Walker
we take to have been precisely case Of that sort
But the President seems to place the grave
error" Of the Commodore on tie ground that ne
had no express orders TO land. That may be; bur
az the contingency Of Walkers effecting landing
does not appear to have been considered at Wash
ington, the Commodore might well suppose that In
doing as he did he cOnformcd TO what would haze
been the orders of the Government had the exact
state Of facts been before it,
Considering the zeal expressed by the President
for the enforcement Of the neutrality laws, II
would have shown both more courage and more
wisdom on his part TO have assumed the RESPONSE
bility Of the whole transaction BY the shrky
course he has taken, he will find himself among
those in favor Of flibusterng, shOuldered with oil
the blame, while Commodore PaAding, among
those opposed to fllibus!esing, will carry of and
justly all the homer

f--.r,-1r Ps~,r,e Boston has bad many c'eTer
writers st different times employed upon her news

IN getting rid Of them all.
Another cause Of the imbecility Of the Boston

Though the President in his Message IN relation
L. the capture of Walker, is pleased-by way, We
suppose. df throwing tub to the whale-tO charge
Commodore Pauldiug with committing "a grave
error" yet he Immediately proceeds to make
apparent not any such alleged error on the part of
the Commodore, but rather error of his own In
making the charge. 1T is grave error on the part
OF the President to assume that Walker and his
men. by having landed on the Nicaraguan territory,
had thereby passed from the character of outlaws
and refugees from justice, and had assumed the
character of "a militsry force That term of
military force" implies some lawful organization
and authority, or at least colOr-of it. Commodore
Paul6ng considered, on the other hand, and in our
view Justly, that by actually landing and committing
robbery, if not murder, on the coast OS Central
America, Walker had added to his character of
fugitive and outlaw that of pirate. 1t does not
by any means follow that because the Government
old not think proper to make this arrest of Walker
the ground of any proceedings against him,
therefore the arrest was an error.
Fit was an error, how, we should like to know,
does the President intend to Justify his censurc
upon Capt Chatard for not doing in substance
Abe very same thing The President hm.lf tscitly
admits that seizing upon Walker IN the harbor Of
Sen Juan would have been the same thing with seiz
ing him after he had landed. Had Commodore
"Pau!dug," he says, intercepted the steamer
'FashiOn, with Gen. Walker and his command on
aboard at any period before they entered The port o
San Juan, and conducted them back to Mobile,
.this would have prevented them from carrying on
s'the expedition, and have been not only justifa'
''be but praisew orthy act" But if, to make the
Seizure justifsbe and praiseworthy, it was neeeS
sary to make il outside Of the'port of San Juan
how happens it that Capt. Chatard is disPossessed
OF MS command for not having seized Walker and
bis men inside Of that port So far as the pre-
venting Walker and his men from carrying on
sthe expedition was an ingredient in making his
seizure "not Ouly justi6able but praiseworthy
The selling him after he had landed tended TO that
end quite as much seizure at sea, in which case
II would have been easy for Walker to set up that
be had no intention of entering Nicaragua in hos
a. or wsrlke manner.

Should any of the Democratic Senators at Wash
ngton fully convinced Of the lack of qualification
on the part of Mr. Clifford for seat on the bench
of the Supreme Court yet hesitate on the score OF
party allegiance about refusing to confirm him, we
beg leave to refer them 20 ease, in reference 10
filling the very same vacancy on the bench, on
which the Democrats in the Senate or part Of
them took it upon Themselves to reject the nOm-
nation of Democratic President, whose claims to
Difference were quite equal, to say the least Of
them. with those of Mr. Buchanan.
Upon the death, in 1910, of William Cushing
who at the first organization of the Supreme
Court had been placed on the bench by "ashi"s
ton. Levi Lincoln of Massachusetts, was hrst hoihl'
mated by President Madison to fill the vacancy.
Lincoln, ss well as Alr. Nathan Clifford had been
Attorney-G General of the United States, and more
recently had filled the Office of Governor of Massa
clusetts; but being man of more selt-knowcdge
than Mr. Clifford seems to possess, and forming .
Just estimate of his own qualifcatiOns-which,
however, were far superior to any that Mr.. Clifford
can bOast-he declined the prof'red honor. Mr..
Madison ten nominated one Alexander WolcOtt of
Connecticut, who might indeed boast, like Mr. Cliff
ford, of being good Democrat, but whose protes-
sonal qualifications and standing were very much
on a par with those of Mr.. Clifford. Anxious for
the honor Of the bench and satisfied that the Pres
ident must have acted under Misrepresentation of
the merits of his nominee, although tie Senate con-
tanned al that time large majority Of Democrats,
part of them Joined with the opposition Senators,
aud rejected this non nation.
This hint wai not lost upon Mr.. Madison who
next nominated John q. Adams, at that time alb
sent as Minister to Russia. Mr. Adams declined
To accept, when frally, upon the fourth trial Mr..
Madison blk upon exactly the man for the place in
the person of Judge Story. Who knows but Slr.
buchanan might upon sober second thought, make
o similar hit, or some approach to ii , However
flat might be, the duty of the Senators is plain.
At all events, the rejection of Mr. Clifford would
AFFORD hint 10 the President that in nominations
to Offices of th,t Importance he must have better
ground to proceed upon than merely party oItho-
doxy or personal favor.
