tf.e nu'i.iliers ol tl.e l,«r ally, d,..
c "if to come out openly und declare
ieir o pi 111 in, of ,|ie c|mrjie8 njruinst
Judge Hockley, tliercforc those charecH
must be nssinned to lie groundless in
their opinions, and that they aro goinir
to give huí) tltcir Biipport. We believe
Hint the reasonable inference is pre
cisdy the reverse. Why is it that
Judge Buckley lias not leon defended
l>y those lawyer a„d Judges of his
own parly, who were iiecetvsarily well
acquainted with all the fact ? It was
the want of any such defence that first
impressed us with a conviction that
tuero was souio foundation fur the
charges. There is probably no class of
people who are bound together stronger
ties of inntnal friendship, than the mem-
bers ol the legal profession, Wc have
never known an instance, nor do we
believe nu instances can be named,
wherein the reputation of n members ol
the bar has been unjustly attacked by
Chorees of unworthy conduct pro-
fessionally, without his brethcrn of the
profession coirrinjj promptly to his do
fence.
Can such an Inniance be named ?
And yet wo have not yei seen the first
effort of this kind made iii bchulf of
Judge Buckley \Vre Imvo iiea'J 0'
none. It was even inoro necessary in
1 Lis cusu that the members of the pro-
fession should defend liiin, if innocent,
lor the reason Unit they alone were
lully competent to understand the
charges and the motives or inducements,
it any, for the false testimony charged.
Especially might such defence have
been expcctcd from those legal nentlo
men Connected with this suit, as law
yers and judges, both in the District
and Supreme Courts If Judge B is in-
nocent, is it not incredible that during
the protracted discussion about these
charges, no such effort has been minie
to defend him ? Is it possible that
they, knowing these charges to be un-
founded, would have permitted him to
suffer so long under thein, nnd not say
one word in his behalf, could they have
done so conscientiously and as honora-
ble tii'-n ?—Gal. News.
We no fin tlicr thai) the News. Wu any it up-
on tlifl nutlir.rity ui convention men, convention
tlulegutef, nnd men who never retract, thai
Jndg'ürny expressed the beliol', that there
were tlelcgaie* In I lie convention who would
drive Judge Hockley out of tliu contest with
these very charge.. We kiiotv that E* tiovent-
or Henderson expressed liinwlf to others in h>
did lo us, in no measureddenunointiouiol tins-
cniid date Aiiolliel- mid other incniber. of the
convention, were not less severe. Months uro
«ve (itl'erid to Judge Buckley the minies of Ik.
accuser , and the specifications. The few pot-
house politicians who huvo thrust themselves
I'ol'waid as defenders ol Judge Buckley, have so
il it'ered Iroin tlie Judge ia the line of defence,
that they have made matters worse.
The News is right In saying that the profes-
sion is ever ready to shield the lawyer who doe-
not ast unprofestiionally. H it apart (rom poli
lic«, nnd Ihe strew or whipping up no lawyer
has undei'talcn to defend Buckley.
B0,.Tiie Lavacu llcraid contradicts
the report that yellow fever had become
epidemic on tin buy and at Galveston,
and says :
"Commercial intercourse nnd the trade
between Lavaca and the country, will
not in the least be impeded bv the prev-
alence of fever here. Wligoners can
s tfely come to the present II. It. termi-
nus, near 6 miles Ironi town, where their
cotton or other freights may be deliver
cd, and the return freights taken At
this point there is plenty of wood, water
and line grass, on Chocolate Bayou,—
We mention these facts, in order thai
if we should bo visited by an epidemic
this fall, the hauling of the cotton crop
to market may not be delayed for three
or four mouths, perhaps until December
when the roads will likely be bad and
transportation high.'
that
By Thursday's mail we received
the San Francisco Herald, asking kan
exchange which wo most cordially ex-
tern! to it. We clip from it the follow-
ing, relative to the now mail route,
which wo commend to the attention of
our brethren in San Antonio.
"By the arrival of the Senator yes-
terday, we received Sail Antonio papers
to the 8th of May, brought through over
the southern mail route. This is three
day's later from the Atlantic States than
what we were put iu possession of by
the mail Meamer via i'umtmu. Since
the establishment of iho overland route
between San Diego and Texas, we have
each month obtained later intelligence
from the East. The moil that arrived
in May brought seven days Inter than
our dates from New York, und, thoiigli
vre have not yet had additional néWs
from New Orleans or 'Washington by
this route, the fact must be attributed
to want of enterprise on the part ol our
l'exan neighbors. Sun Antonio is in
close connection with New Orleans,
and the latter city is in direct telegraph
ic communication with New York. Il
citizens at the other end of the line will
take this matter in hand, and endeavor
to obtain froai the 1161'th the latest news be-
fore the mail leaves San Antonio, they
will give an impoitance to the South
a pit route that, in a short period, will
be tiiv' means of attracting to it a consid-
erable pcrt'oii of the travel between Cal
il'ornia and C.'O Atlantic. We invite
the attention of the people of San Auto
ii io I.) tins subject. It is one of impor
tunee to the interests of this State und
Texas. A change in the time of the de-
parture of the mail, und increased speed
in the performance of trips, with the
aid of enterprise iu.Texas to obtain the
latest news frem the north, wM se-
cure to us at least live days fresh intel-
ligence by encli arrival from S.in Anto-
nio. At present we ought to receive
from one to three days later news, but,
us we have stated, the omission is caus-
ed by the want of energy on the Texas
s.de,"

A Nf.w Question in Law.—During
the Circuit Court a novel and intoiest
in" question was decided on an appeal
from the County Court. We refer to
the Fleslmian will case, M n. Flesh-
man, who died smiu months since on
Anthony's Creek, in this county, made
her wilfdisposing of herseparale estate,
and to this will her' husband, Mielical
Fleshunin, was subscribing witness,
and tli" question, the ofore, was wheth-
er the said Micheal, beinii the IhisImiiiI

witness in the language of the statute
The County Court decided that lie was

J. H bl¿ Alt BOUS,
PHILIPS, PAYNE S¿ MÜRPnY
Doai born, Attorney for Appellant.
Opinion by Ch. Justice Hemphill.
This was u suit by J. II. Dearborn to
enjoin the sale of his only horse and
ropo, levied upon by Constable Philips,
one of the defendants, under an execu-
tion issued by W. M. Payne, an acting
Justice, another defendant j also that
the execution be quashed, und that the
plaintiff on final hearing may recover
liis damages, costs, &e.
There was a demurer, and as a spe-
cial exception il was pleaded that the
plaintiff in the execution was not made
a party to this suit. This defect was
cured by Win. Murphy, the plaintiff in
the execution, appearing voluntarily
moving to quash the execution for dc
foots apparent on its face, that the In-
junction lie dismissed, and that ho have
judgmeut for costs, &c.
On the Dth day of the term this mo-
tion by Murphy to quash his execution
was sustained, and judgment given
against him for all costs in the case.—
On the lOtn day he filed a general dent-
in to the petition, and on the same day
there is an entry that Murphy having
appiared and excepted t<> petition for
injunction, ami loot ed the court toqiiash
the execution, ordered that execution
bo quashed, petition for injunction be
dissolved and judgment entered agaiinft
plaintiff Dearborn lor the costs; from
which judgment plaintiff sppealed.
The judgment dissolving the Injunc-
tion on exception is erroneous, us the
petition disclosed sufficient grounds for
the writs, the truth of the grounds be-
ing admitted by tho exception. The
horse and rope were ex> itipt from exe-
cution. (Cobbs vs Coleman, I I Tex
604 ) Ti e execution was void or defec-
tive as admitted by the defendant Mur-
phy, on whose motion it was quashed.
Tho answor of .Murphy was not sworn
lo, and was but a general denial, and
not such an unswer us to entitle the de-
fendant to a dissolution of the injunc-
tion (Burnley vs Cook, 14 Tex. 58#.)
If this •'dissolution of the petition '
be intended us a final judgment dis-
missing the suit, there was érvor, as the
plaintiff having prayed for damages,
and having stated a ease for at least
nominal relief, the case on the dissolu-
tion of injunction should have been con
tinned over for hearing on the merits ;
and especially «vas there error in ad-
judging costs against the plaintiff.
lie had all the equities in the case.
The execution against him was quashed,
and if it had not been set aside, the
levy on property exempt from execution
should have been perpetually enjoined,
lie was clearly entitled to his costs,
and these had on a previous day of the
court been adjudged against the de-
fendant Murphy
The appellant might claim a trial on
the question of damages, but from his
brief it may be inferred that he will be
satisfied with a reversal und reform of
the judgment as to the costs. It is
therefore ordered that the judgment for
the costs against tho plaintiff Dearborn
be, and the «nine is hereby reversed,
and that judgment be entered against
the defendants Philips & Murphy for all
the coMs iu this cause expended.

Ens Nbws.—In Judge Buckley's cir-
cular to the People of Texas, he says
that during u period of twenty years
"he had enjoyed an unspotted reputa-
tion—not n whisper against his iutegri
t y in all that limn appearing—" and he
thinks this should iiuvu shielded liiin
against tho attack mude upon liiin for
false swearing in the Smith and Kellum
ease. Can Judge Buckley be nerious
in this assertion? Is he not conscious
that his reputation lias been assailed in
the gravest maimer iu the highest legis-
lative body, and iu the Courts of the
country. Has ho forgotten that he
was a candidate for Judge before the
Congress of tli-. Republic, and was
openly assailed for a want of integrity
by A. S. Tbruston, nnd was del'euted ?
Ila* he forgotten tiuit a suit has been
pending against, him for several years,
in the District Court of Harris county,
brought by a prominent member of the pru
ent Vaiwe.ratu Stale Central CtmnuUet,
which impeaches his conduct iu the
strongest terms for fraud in the admin
istratiou of Robert Burr ? Docs he not
know that he lias a notoriety for con-
nection with fraudulent administrations,
second alone to his compeer iu the
Burr estate ? The facts of that case as
disclosed by the record, and bv the pe
tit ion ought to bo understood by the
public, and although the task of present-
ing them, is by no means agreeable, 1
shall perform it.

quent to tliii), but at what exact dale,
the record tine inrt show, Judge C. W.
Hockley lis an Attorney at Law, pre-
sented lo said Cordova, claims against
the estate of Barr, iu luvor of creditors
in the Stilto of Ohio, amounting to over
$30,000 They were of course allowed,
¡t is clear, either that Cordova got
Judge Hockley to act as Attorney, or
that Buckley got Cordova to act as ad
uiinistrator. To satisfy these claims and
and a lew others against Ban's estate,
sales were reported by Cordova us Ad
uiinistrator on the 1st of May 1849, of
about twenty ci/f/it leagues of land belong
ing to the estate of RoLuit Barr. 'Ihe
sales were all pre-arranged. The pur
chasers were not ut Cameron, Milam
county where they were inudu That
however is a huuiII matter. Judge
Buckley became tlie purchaser at mere

Now, what was the character of the
clnims which Jacob DeCordova nnd C
W. Buckley thus passed through the
Probate Court as valid claims agniust

which they mudo tlie sale of this im
menso body of land ? The vouchers of
of these, claims are not to be J'oniul in the Vro-
bale. Court of llarrit County. But, the
following affidavits are on tho file ill
