THE BONDS OF THE STATE.

Are only the evidences of her in
debtedness /; they were received by
their holders in good faith, whether
the State issued them in That spirit
or not. They must be paid at
any and all haz irds. The State can.
not repudiate her just Indebtedness
ANYMORE than can an individual, and
still lay claim to honesty and fair
dealing. Yves y to our Legislature,
do not hesitate 10 make provisions
to pay the last out side cent of the
Indebtedness Of Texas, redeem her
flighted faith in every instance, and
then if needs be institute an economy
as rigid as ever was known, and place
Texas once more above the possibil.
ity of such question Us "repudia.
tion" being sprung in the future.
If there is any wrong attached to
the measure looking to the cary
settlement OF the indebtedness Of the
State, 1t cannot be laid 10 the door
of the Legislatures paying the OBJ
legations, however, much the Legis-
lature which made tie Indebtedness
might be blamed.
The system under which the State
bonds or warrants have heretofore
been issued, may we'll be changed,
but the bonds must be paid, or the
fair fame of Texas be sullied. The
intermlnable tangle of the accounts,
books aud other records in the Treas
ury and Complroller's offices, into
which they had fallen under
the dishonest and incompetent
management OF the Radi-
cal administration, will cause
vexations and troubles of various
kinds, but the holders OF the evidences
Of the States Indebtedness, be they
either native or foreign, may feel per-
fectly secure as to their ultimate
settlement.
The School vouchers, tee papers
held by the teac'ltrs OF Texas, must
be provided for, and that speedily.
Men holding the evidence of this kind
oi indebtedness, which is at the same
time the evidence of hard labor and
self denial, must not be permitted to
starve, let come what may.

BRYAN, Feb. 17.-The entirc block

the money that was in it, except few
dollars that were in small drawer. The
safe contained about FIVE hundred dol

robbers also tired to break open the safe

set fire to the store Of G.. w. Smith &

THE U. $. CIRCUIT COURT.
AUSTIN, Feb. 10.

AUSTIN, Feb. 10.
In the multiplicity of other matters,
many of them more alluring if less
important, l have neglected to speak
of this Court, which has been in ses>
sion for several weeks past, and
which, during the present term, has
rendered at least two decisions of
very general interest to our section
of the State. The first, Hsnrick's We.
the Chambers Heirs, involving, it 1
mistake not, eleven leagues of valua-
BILE land in Falls county, was decided
in favor of the latter, but under such
rulings by Judge Wood, that Colonel
Gurley, Attorney for Mr.. Hanrick,
took an appeal and appears quite con-
fident of reversal in the Supreme
Court at Washington.
The second case has just been de,
cided, after engaging the Court for
nine days. 1t is in the case of Chas.
Buck VS.. It. A. Johnson, ct ais, involv-
ing the title to the lower half of tho
Cowhide league of land, opposite and
below the city of Waco, known as the
Blankenship place--it itself very val
liable piece OF property.
The various titles, it appears, were
fully ventilated and discussed.
The celebrated Falls county de-
cree, ir regard to this land, rendered
in 1864, was also fully discussed and
acted upon and that, together with
the acts and declarations of Lapsley,
IN acquiescing in said decree, was plead
and given In evidence, as an estoppel
upon Lapsley, and his vendees hold.
ing the land under him. Also the
validity of the Cowhide League title
to this land, and the three, five and
ten years statutes of limitation, were
all involved in the suit.
The cause, and the evidence given
in, was elaborately discussed by the
council on both sides, closing with an
argument of about four hours dura-
tion by J. G. Buck, Esq, for the
plaintiff, on Thursday, and replies OF
some two hours each by J. L. L. Nc
Call and A. J. Evans, Esqrs., on the
part of the defendant, being crossed
by Col Page, of Bryan, for the
plaintiff on Friday evening, with
full charges upon the various points
involved. By the court to -day-Sat
urday-after which the jury retired,
returning In a very few minutes, with
q verdict for the defendant.
This verdict gives such title to
the Blankenship property as is con-
sidered beyond all dispute. If it, the
verdict, should not be set aside by
the court, and a new trial granted,
this, now it seems, is as good title
as can be made. j. W,D.

Our neighbor, the Advance, is
panied at the discrepancy between
the editorial columns and editorial
correspondence of the EXAMINER. If
we reciprocated the implied interest,
we doubt not we might point ou,
many errors and discrepancies in the
course persued by our friend. We
don't choose to do SO for two or three
reasons, namely we haven't the
room. We had rather do him good
than injury, and then the EXAMINER
has bigger game in sight. We
will state for his especial benefit,
however, that there is the most cor.
dial understanding and good feeling
between the publisher and the editor
of this paper. The editor is not
ruled down; the publisher Is entitled
to his opinions and expresses them
very properly in the columns of his
own paper, and we have his hearty
lndorsement of our course, as wei
as that Of his numerous patrons, and
