One of the Tribune's correspondents
sent out to Texas to write up the situa-

sion respecting the management of at.
fairs in Texas:
Opinions are not worth much, but
observation can teach something. And
the results of observation on one mind
that has brought whatever of intellect
and intelligence it could command to
bear upon this vexed question, are; First,
that justice to all parties will not be se-
cured by leaving the control of this mat
ter in the hands of military command
ants. It must come from
civil authority specially designated and
dedicated to this purpose, and on whose
action the eye of q christian civilizatio n
will be specially fixed. To this author
ity let the military power be subordinate
as the hand to the head.
