JUDGE DOUGLAS.
Eiehteen months since, Judge Doueiis was o.
traciseS, socially and politically, BY toe aSCe-msn
of the DemOcracy here. But DOW hls 'r'eods are
ia the ascendant ct Charleston, aod nave hAed
upou platform which they saw by telegrapsic DIS
MATCHES will probabIy be adopted By the Commit
ne On Resolutions, and if not BY item by the Con-
,a0,;oD That platform includes the Cincinnati
on, with the Dre6 Scott decisiOn annexed; also a
nlsnk asserting the duty of this Government to pro-
t.ci nsturAlized citizens, when visdng the places
of their nat witty, from iupositions there 10 the
shape Of requirements to perform military duty,
etc.
Mr. Jefferson Davies Slave-Co6e resolutions may
possibly be adopted by the Convention bat no man
knews better than Judge Douglas that the accept
snoe Of a nomination on such platform would bs
death in every Northern State
II is stated among Democratic politicians that
Judge Black ard Gen. Bowman of TIE Consultation
will support judge Douglas il nominated aud that
the leading article of that paper to said effect vas
telegrspted to Charleston to-day.
A class Of the Democratic Senators looked glum
and sore to-day after the receipt of Intelligence
from Administration sources to the effect that Jodge
Douglas would probably be nominated at Charles
ton. This was nuts" to Andrew johnson. who
has doubtless thrown his influence in favor Of Mr..
Douglas.
JUDGE BLACK AND MR.. SCHNABLE.
The leaders Of the Pennsylvania Democracy
freely ray that Judge Black will bring no action
against Mr. Schnable before making the allegation
that the latter fals6ed the words of the former.
They soy that Is an advocate Mr. Sshnable would
whip out the pretensiOns of the attorney of the
Government.
BY the way: Judge Black yesterday offended
the Supreme Court, BY the use Of an expression
grossly disparsgng to the digoity of the Judges.
A 6istipe uishe6 Jurist promptly Invoked the pro-
tectOn of Heaven over the life Of Judge fancy, so
that the appointment Of J0dg7 Black to the exalted
position of Chief Justice might be averted, and
another distinguished Jurst, VINO lie nos Senator,
IL saiS 10 have remarked that the Senate would not
cOh6r4n Judge Black, if appointed to the Supreme
Bench.
THE sAETILLAN LAND CASE.
I bear that what is called the Sautan land case
will be up in the Supreme Court on Monday, when
the decision Of the Court will be given.
