Excerpt from C. Julii Caesaris Commentarii De Bello Gallico His enemies now made every effort to check him in his rapid pro gress, and if possible to crush him. The discovery Of the Catilina rian conspiracy seemed to offer a favourable opportunity: he was privately and publicly charged with being an accomplice; but not a shadow of evidence was brought forward, and there does not seem to be the slightest ground for believing that he could have embarked in that mad and senseless scheme. During his praetorship vehement disputes were agitated, on account of Cicero having put to death some Of the associates Of Cataline without a formal trial. Caesar supported the enemies Of Cicero, while M. Cato opposed him. Owing to the violence with which the question was debated, Caesar and one of the tribunes were suspended'by the senate from their offices; but Caesar's conduct on that occasion was so well calculated, and so pru dent, that the senate in the end was obliged to apologize for its hasty measure, and publicly to thank him for his moderation. This was a great humiliation for the aristocratic party, but they had brought it upon themselves. In the same year Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia, having discovered that she was carrying on an intrigue with the notorious P. Clodius; but he did not prosecute the Offender, because he was very popular, and a man of great importance to Caesar's own party. After the termination of his praetorship, Caesar undertook the administration of the province of Western Spain. His debts had at this time become so enormous, and his creditors so clamorous.
