THE COURTS.

EQUITT CouRT.--,Nido1 Wglt..-TbIs oo,rt
was engaged M follows yesterday,
Corcoran q Rlgga vs.. Douglass. This Ia
bill 10 enforce the lien OF deed Of trust-
and was reported some time since. M,
Mathews appears for the compialnanta. ana
Mr.. Thompson for the defendant.
Judge wyllo delivered his Judgment, he
stated the facts Of the case and the law
bearing thereon, concluding In substance as
followsi
There was decree pro eoR6s,o In this
case; and In order 10 get rid Of that decree
pro eoVssso the defendant came In and put
10 plea and answer, the plea, o plea Of the
statute Of limitations, that amer twelve years
nothing could be done by the courts to en-
force the security by 4 sale Of the property.
II Is very true that the statute OF limitations
does not. allow courts 70 enforce payment
amer twelve years, but thon tho evidence In
this case shows that Henry Douglas paid
something on this debt and agreed 10 pay
interest. That stops his mouth. He cannot
be heard In court OF equity 10 set up the
statute OF limitations so much as 70 the
place. Then he adds the plea and answer,
and that answer says 'that said debt had
been fully paid and aatlaned." Well, that
Is positively contradleied aud becomes OF no
avail to his anawcFi second, that there was
no lntent TO make q Hen on this special sab
jecs. This Is coutrRdlcted BY the face OF the
plea. ...- IN .l .r.-
The auswer lie entitled, 90 far as Il IL an
answer, TO no credit, because II Is not sworn
to. The plea Is not available, because Il Is

ernments. The Secretary, alluding
to the important American interests
on the Asiatic. station, says that a
constant necessity for an increase in
our force there, which we are unable
to afford, Expresses the department.
That feeling of uncertainty and alarm
which at this time pervades all Euro
pean settlements in China, extends to
our own commercial and religious
representatives, and the bulk Of our
Asiatic fleet is now cruising ir that
part of the station for the protection
of any interests that may be threat
ened, and the display as far as may
be of that armed force which makes
the strongest appeal to Asiatic re-
spect. The Secretary alludes to the
occupation of our men of-war during

there was not the slightest necessity
for this warfare upoi the unarfied,
does not brighten the record, but rath-
er aggravates the dHensss tehfold.
With the ending Of the war, the
employment OF these pimps, AID
worthless fellows in the different de-
partments did not cease. Under the
present administration the disease has
assumed a chronic form, more viru-
lent and mischievous than ever, and
unless the people supply a remedy the
stability of the government is not as
sured. Had Mr.. Cox not thought as
we do, he would have found the Sec
taryship of the Interior a-mueh more
pleasant place than he did, and posi-
bly, he would not now be out of favor
and office. The Revenue Depart
ment really o~veraows with this class
of petty officials, whose only worth
consists in their capa1ility to st"op
to the lowest, meanest and most de-
sp;cable forms Of political trickery.-
These retainers are thrown. as skir-
m shers by the late General Grant,
to examine the Presidential battle
field of 1872, and while they are
serving their master privately are rob-
bling the people publicly. If the adj
ministration will at once discharge
those innumerable and worthless Off
