Revised STATUTE. Of Texas.

We were favored some time since, IL
our capacity of Notary Public, by the
State Of Texas, through tho County
Judge OF this county, with u copy o.
the above work. and have been quite
too rcm;ss 10 failing sooner to acknowl
edg" publicly what we consider a very
great favor. While there has been SC
much to find fault with in the recen,
administration Of the State govern
inent, LAND so many unpleasant eviden'
ces of her being ip the background II
gives US the more pleasure to express
our hearty approval Of this revision OF
our Statute law. Heretofore it has
been next to impossible to find out
what the law was on any subject
quito impossible for anybody but the
lawyers, aud even they often found
themselves 10 the same predicament.
Nothing could be moro monstrously
unjust than this state Of thinRs-for
people TO be compelled to live under
laws Of which they know and could
know nothing. As well be subject to
the autocrat of Russia at once.
Now, however, as the result Of the
la5ors OF an able committee heretofore
appointed for that purpose, and as
adopted by the last legislature, we
have 10 one volume Of ll52 pages the
entire Statute law of Texas from the
beginning to the present time, boiled
down" clearly arranged and copiously
indexed. Not only so, but by stretch
Of lfbcrality in the direction of the en-.
lightenment Of the people heretofore
quite unexamplod in Texas. u SUI
ficient number Of copies of the book
have been distributed. 80 that there
need be no insurmountable difficulty
in obtaining access to Q copy by any
one. Besides it only costs we believe
3d., while formerly the chaotic mass
called laws would have cost from S25
to $50.
Now, as we have said, the laws Of
the State are within the reach Of every
citizen, and in shape which any man
of ordinary sense. who can read, can
understand. The result must be
great diminution OF litigation, and
countless other untold blessings which
lie along the road of knowledge, as
with the pitfalls and quick.
sands which beset the dark aud crook
ed paths Of ignorance.
We say, then, let the State manage
mept have hearty applause for one
good decd the revision and distribu-
ton Of our Statute law.
