We thought our contemporaries of the press iil- tie sagacious to circulate rhe report that Judge BRAoe of our Circuit, had decided that TEXAS is part of the United States, and required a Texas citizen to do jury duty here. u is all joke. N, such decision Was ever made by Judge BKAGG.

 The fact, as we understand to be, that ''an old resident of this city asked 10 be excused from serv ing jury, because he had been in Texas and ta- ken the oath of allegiance there His excuse was disallowed and he was ordered to take his seat in the box. The Judge merely remarked to by stand CT iocosely, that it could make no difference any how--Texss was annexed. Ou of this casual re- mark has grown the story that the Judge mad formal ly made the decision reported.
