TROUBLES OF JUDGE BLACK AND the con-
sTITUTION.
Tho investigating Committees were not IN sessisa
to-day. Judge Black is in hot water all the tine
about the disclosures by the Coyode Committee Of
the way in which politics have been managed IN
Pennsylvania BY himself and the President Hs
makes frequent Wits to the committee room to coz
tradct the validity Of the testimony OF the witness
ses but 90 far their state ments have been corrobo-
rated. The Constitution deprecates the defense Of
the President by The Herald to the prejudice Of tho
Cabinet. II declares the latter a unit, aud iu-
peaches the character Of the friendship of Dir. Ben
net for the President.
MR.. WALKERS CHARGES.
Dir. Walker is gathering documentary evidence
from bis Kansas papers 10 substantiate his charges
against the Cabinet of completely in the cOneoction
of tie Lecompton Constitution. He will indicate
the truth of history, let the responsibility fall On
whom it may.
DIR. DOUGLASS PROSPECTS.
Dir. Douglas ard his friends are more encouraged
to-day. They count on l56 votes on the drss ballet,
and contend that The Northern members of the Con-
vention cannot repudiate a man who has taat
strength and hope TO be sustained at home that they
must take him OF 20 for weaker man.
POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
1t is reported here that efforts are making to
supersede Mr. Milward of Pennsy lvania in the next
Congress. Parties thus engaged in bis district
should reflect that his former experience renders
him too valuable a representative to be rotated
without valid reasons. This il, moreover, his drss
term as representative of his psesent district.
His record is truly anti-Democratie, and although
he makes but little noise, he is an efficient and
influential member. 1t is great mistake, and oas
which is made more frequently North than South,
to supersede Members of Congress just az their
period of greatest usefulness commences.
