The Washington Constitution, referring to
Douglas personal assault q Judge Black, in
his Wooster. Ohio, speech, says:
We can easily imagine the modification and
annoyance Which Judge Douglas must have felt
when be found thnt his sopblsms we're exposed
and retuted,, aud his first essay On constitution
al law proved to be filled with egregious blum
ders and evlqences OF the most arTant ignorance.
We Gnu imagine that he was petulant aud angry,
particularly as the exposure took place when be
was most anxious to pass himself Of as an infai-
llble expounder Of the science and practice oil
government: lie was quite wrong, however, 10
lose his temper. It WAS clear evidence of lis
own conviction that he was ,sorsted. Whenever
one Of the parties to 4 controversy abandons
facts and arguments and resorts to abuse and
scurrilous enthets, it is pretty conclusive proof
that lie is benten. If success in CONTROVERSY is
made TO depend on superior skill in use OF
coarse language and hard names, there is no
fishwoman who might not or no plus-ugly WHO
might not completely oTerwhelm Judge Doug
We are inclined cAartably to forgive the
Judge, hoping that on the many occasions in
the future on which, If he continues his preseut
course, he must expect to be severely haudIcd

decorunl, not again toFgct What is due to the
Office OF Senator, bg tue use Of unseenlY lan-
