TEXAS LANDS.

State Of Texas has a homestead law which
donates one hundred and sixty acres of
land to every actual and permanent settler
thereon. Yet such is the case. This very
large and hou-ishing State has a public
domain OF ninety.two millions of acres of
vacant and unappropriated lands which she
proposes to give 20 persons who will settle
On item and become permanent tillers Of
the same. OF course. these are now what
are known as wild lands Tie most of
them are far beyond tie settled portions of
the State; they are beyond the frontier set

4 VAIN BOAST.

The Picny,ne reminds us that -: is H.
boast Of Britons and their descendants
that no one shall be depriv ed of his liberty
without an immediate inquiry before a
| competent court as to the suficieucv O;
the cause and authority Of his detention. =
We submit that this boast would cone
with better grace from certain OF the de
scen3ants' after having taken care that
no nan should be deprived Of his life, or
be pat in peril of life, liberty or property
by unauthorized persons, without calling
the offender to rigid account Otwhat
benefit is the writ Of habeas corpus to
man WHO can not 60 about his business
without danger Of assassination And
when the civil authorities are too weak or
too corrupt to punish the guilty, there is
a failure of justice, tribunals are incon-
petent by reason of being powerless, and
the guilty man becomes strong ard the
innocent man weak. When the enforce
ment Of the laws is obstructed condition
OF revolution is produced, and tie soy-
ereign owes it to the community to inter.
pose the mailed hand Of power. The
habeas corpus is designed to protect tie
innocent, not to shield the guilty, and to
invoke it for the purpose Of releasing the
red-handed murderer is to become an &C.
cessory after the fact We will maintain
the right to invoke this C-ri. ,ocn al |
proper occasions; but let him that asks
for it come into court with clean hands
10 boast of liberty that permits tie
assassination Of peaeeabie citizens is TO
glory in our own shame and proclaim
the apologists of murderers and
robbers. It is vain and wicked boast.

The proper way to settle these lands
would be to form companies sufficiently
strong to give protection against Indian

generous offer made by Texas; but it is q
slow and dangerous business for individuals

Some complaint having been made
about the composition Of the jaries in the
various courts, the Sheriff suggests that
probably the complainants are finding
fault with, themselves. Respectable citi-
zens evade jury duty in various ways and
consider that they have done shrewd
thing when they have managed to excuse
themselves before the judge. As mat
ter of course, if good men will evade their
political and social duties. the officer who
failed in his attempt to make jurymen out
of them should not he blamed. The cure
for bad juries is with the people them
selves. They should either abolish the
system entirely or submit to the response
bilities which it imposes upon them, or
cease finding fault with the officers who
do the best they can.
