Spanish Treaties Must Wait.

Washington, March 10.-The new
Spanish treaties must wait upon the ac-
cession to the throne of the young Span
ish king, before they can be ratified,
owing to internal political reluctance OF
the existing government to assume any
measure of responsibility pending the
expiration of the regency and the COR
onation of the king. This event will
occur in May, and it is expected that
a new cabinet, and stronger one, will
be installed, it is hoped that the delay
in the treaty negotiations will be very
brief.

Judge Story's Advice to Young
Lawyer.

When e'er you speak, remember eyery
cause
Stands not on eloquence, but stands on
laws.
Pregnant in matter, in expression brief.
Let every sentence stand with bold relief: :
On trifling points, nor time nor talents
waste,
A sad offense to learning and to taste:
Nor deal with pompous phrase, nor e'er
suppose
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose.
Loose defamation may deceive the
crowd,
And seem more striking as it grows
more loud;
But sober sense rejects it with disdain.
AS nought but empty noise and weak as
vain.
The froth of words, the school boys vain
parade
OF books and cases-all his stock in
trade;
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks
and play
VI low attorneys, strung in long array;
The unseemly jest, the petulant reply,
That chatters on and cares not how. nor
why;
Studious, avoid unworthy themes to
scan,
They sink the speaker and disgrace the
Like the false lights by flying shadows
cast,
Scarce seen when present, and forgot
when past.
Begin with dignity; expound with grace
Each ground of reasoning in its time
and place.;
Let order reign throughout-each topic
touch,
Nor urge its power too little, or too
much.
Give each strong thought its most at
tractive view,:
In diction clear and yet serenely true;
And as the arguments in splender grow,
Let each reflect its light on all below.
When to the close arrived, make no
delays
By petty flourishes, or verbal plays,
But sum the whole in one deep, solemn
strain,
Like a strong current Fastening to the
main.

A CLASH AT RICHMOND.
Convention Declines to Accept Res
ignation of Carter Glass.


Richmond Va, ian. 10--The fea-
ture of to-day's session of the Consti-
tutional Convention, was the resigna-
tion of Senator Carter Glass, of Lynch
burg, from the Committee on Public
Education. and the fiat refusal of the
convention to accept it.
The incident grew out of the con-
troversy between Senator Glass and
Chairman McTlwaine, of the Education
Committee, on the floor of the conven-
tion when the latter used language TO
which the Lynchburg leader took eX-
ception
Mr.. Glass begged the convention 20
accept his resignation, declaring that
if the contentious of DR.. McIlwaine
on yesterday were correct he felt that
he could be of no further use to the
committee.
Mr.. Thom of Norfolk, presented a
resolution declining to accept the res
ignation of Mr.. Glass, and made an
eloquent speech in favor of it's adop-
tion.f Only one member voted against
the resolution. DR.. McIlwaine made
feeling address in which he said that
in the heat of debate men were liable
to use language which they afterward
regretted, and he sincerely trusted
that whatever in his remarks Mr.
Glass construed as offensive. would be
considered as gladly withdrawn and
eXpunged from the record
