GREAT OKLAHOMA.

The Houston Journal, of January 80,
contains a communication from "HI-
DALao," in which he complains bitterly
of the settlers on the Oklahoma territory
being called boomers. In long argu-
ment the writer attempts to show that
the Indian title to those lands had be-
come extinct and that they were open
for settlement. In the same article he
most vehemently denounces the govern
ment for not allowing the case to be
judicially settled.
The HERALD has always been OF the
impression that there was necessity
for some declaration from the govern
ment that lands TO which Indians once
had title should be held by the govern
ment until such release OF title, or ex-
tinction had been officially or judicially
declared. Does not HIDALuo acknow-
ledge that no such declaration has been
madei Does IL not cry out against the
non-proclamation of the facti and IL Is
still Of the opinion that the land must
be relieved formally of any possible
claim before actual settlers can occupy
under the general settlement laws. The
very same question arose years ago as
to the attempt to squat on government
lands at Harper's Ferry-the same o
peatedly as to the Fort Lesvenworth
reservation aud other public post lands

THE ATTACHMENT LAWS.

The Galveston News has an article or
the attachment laws at present prevail
ing in Texas, which adds very largely
10 the brief that has already been filed
in the matter Of the present attachment
laws of the state. The inequity of al.
lowing the indulgent creditor to be cir.
cumvented by the sharper, the protec.
ton now afforded o dishonest debtor
under the present system of partial as.
signments, which always result in cor.
roding litigation and the ugly conse.
quences of exciting contest between
creditors as to "who shall get there
first" both to creditor and debtor, are
well set forth.
These thoughts are all sound, and
should have great influence with legis.
lators. They doubtless will, and when
a general insolvent law is passed for the
state, many of the evils now suffered
will be avoided. But whilst these
things are true as gospel, the HERALD
trusts that its recommendation as to the
plea in abatement may not be over.

one bill, and as it gives an honest
debtor some show against the rapacity
of men who are willing to swear any

Of a man who is honest but slow, should
become law. Let the question of fraud
be the very first issue made and tried.
Nearly all attachments are based on
this verified charge.

A DISPATCH from Austin refers to an
article in the Evening Record giving
JUDGE HURT the credit of being an as
pirant for gubernatorial honors. The
article says he has been in Austin some
days, and has "the bee ia his bonnet
This is unqualified nonsense, and is only
preliminary 10 the main object of the
piece to intimate that there is some deep
iald scheme on hand for securing the
governorship to north Texas and putting
Gov. IRELAND in the senate as one of
the agencies by which the plot is to be
successfully carried out. That JUICE
HURT has any such idea is absurd to his
friends. His speciality is doing his duty
IN his present position, to which the peo-
pie of Texas have called him. He i,
the right man in the right place, and
the judge would prefer striking right

law problem to dispensing the hospitals

the carp question is agitating the legis.

presence in Austin. There would be nc
doubt on the subject if it was question

that PROF. CUSMINs has given particu.
lar attention to the question of coal in
Texas for several years. The facts given

FROM many directions and states the
complaint is made of insufficient accom-
mediation for the insane. Texas has
acted in the premises and the county
board of Cooke county also, but Texas
and Chicago are always in the lead, II
may not be the case, but to a superficial
observer it would appear that this NAL
ady of lunacy is fearfully on the in
crease. Statistics show an increase of
suicides during money panics, but it
would seem that fact so far from aug
menting the number of lunatics would
diminish it. A magazine writer attrib-
utes the alarming increase in the
United States to the nervous excitement
among our people on the question of
money-making and aspiration for Office.
The record of the.asylums in Texas, how
ever, would not sustain this theory.

Journals correspondent is simply a re.
nash OF the briefs of PAYNE's ATTORNEYS.
1t is well recognized principle of law
that claimants to real estate must back
their pretensions by good title in them.
selves, and not by defective'titles in
Others holding and possessing. If any
body can take anything of value in the
way OF real estate without proper title
IN himself, any person finding any loose
article of personal property would, on
the same principle, be authorized to an.
propriate such article to himself.
The would-be settlers must have the
sanction of law to back them. They
cannot constitute themselves Judge.
jury and possessors. There is always an
edlct throwing open lands for settle
ment, and in the case of the Oklahoma
lands none such has been promulgated.
Inc encouragement denies the right of
the PAYNE colony to squat on Oklaho-
ma. The senators from Kansas. whilst
favorable to ultimate settlement, do not
pretend to present right on their part.
The fact that the settlers think the lands
should be opened to them is no reason
why, without proper authority, they
should forcibly possess themselves of it.
Had Hidalgo read the HERALD contin-
uously on this subject, he would have
seen that 1t was not opposed to the
speedy settlement of Oklahoma. but
only to its forcible and present occupa-
tion' 1t further agrees with him in
TINS, that speedy trial of the issue
should be had. In the meantime it is
not prepared to recall its words when
characterizing those who would bv
deeds, which they know must result
in violence, act as boomers.
