OMISSION.

We owe an apology for delaying SO long the
publication of the charge of Judge IRISH to the
Grand Jurics of Claiborne and Jefferson coun-
ties. 1t " i'll be found in our present number.
We think, with the members of the Bar who
requested its publication, that "t contains prin-
ciples and views which ought to be known and
understood by the community" and that they
will be cordially approved by every good citi.
zen. The official course Of Judge Irish has been
marked by promptness and energy, as well al
by the most lofty and unbending integrity; and
We believe, with him, that the difficulty which
has hitherto been experienced in the prompt en-
forcement of the FINAL laws Of the state, la,
ariscn, not from any radical defect in the laws
themselves, or in the tribunals charged with theiI
administration, but in the reckless indifference
Of the community TO the public interests and the
public morals. That offenders have, in some few
instances, escaped iuerited punishment by the
culpablu neglect Of the ministers of the law o.
the fornalities required by thcJury Act uf 1880
is adHitted but these instances are few, anC
will not, we trust, occur in future.
Nothing will now be necessary to the cficien
and impartial administration of justice, but tha
the courts be sustained by public opinion, in
stead of being aasai!ed by popular clumor ant
denunciation.

TEXAS

As the present and future condition Of this
country seems 10 he the 0ll-absorbing subject
now on the carpet, we have heretofore endoa-
rored to gather tlf the scattering and vague re-
ports aaoat, and blend them with those that
wear the scmblancc of probability, in The hope
of arriving at the truth. Notwithstanding the
dincnlly of attaining our object, we have, VIC
believe, managed to come as near correctness as
most of our contemporaries.
So far as we have been able to learn, no
change has taken place in the relative situations
of either The Mexican or Texan army, since the
report of their late movements. Ii is confident
ly believed tbat nothing warlike win take place
until towards the close or the coming month, as
both armies seem to be awaiting reinforcements.
Gen. Houston had not, at the date of our in-
formation, Joined the army, but was at his resi-
dcnce near NacoSdocheA where he cOntemplates
remaining until able to take to the field once
more. Gen. Lamar, who is now commander-in-
chief, pro tenn, has the entire confidence and re-
spect of the sOldiery, as web as that the cabi-
net.
1t is also reported that force loan Of two
millions had been declared in the city of Mexico
and that the ministers Of England and France
had entered their protest, calling foreigner
not 10 contribute to the amount.
Al Mexico is rovoluiOnizing. Santa Anna'
party are out of power. State after State il
falling into The ranks of the opposite junto, ant
all this with little or no bloodshed. This cir
cumstancc alone angurs well for the cause o
Texas, Liberty, and the crushing Of ecclesiasi
cal tyranny. The new party, it is said, will not
on any account, prosecute the war against tn
Texans. However much plausibility may hav
been attached to former reports, we have ever
treason to believe the correctness Of what W
have above stated.
