FRAUDS m TEXAS LANDs.-We have recently learn
ed that Of the holders of colonization contracts
their agents. lave been offering land scrip for SALE
pretending that they have valid titles to the lands they
have contracted to colonze. Some of this scrip we
have been informed, has been offered for sale in Gin
cnnati and other Cities as well as in Europe 1t ap-
pears that the territory designated in these contracts
has been divided into shares, similar the shares of
the Colorado, the Rio Grande, and Arkansas compa-
MES, and to the shares of Beales & Co. 1t is well
known that these companies, before the revolution,
inundated the United States with fraudulent scrip.
We have often while visiting the United States been
shown samples of this scrip ornamented with beau-
full engrayings, and maps of land 10 which these
panes have title than they have to the crown
of England. We little expected THAT the generosity
of our Government would have been thus abused, and
that Legislature should be made the instrument of
heartless SPECTATORS to aid in deceving and swim
ding the unwary. We believe most of the contracts
have been will be forfeited. and we hope Con-
gress will at the earliest practical moment adopt pro-
per measures to prevent the contractors their agents
from continuing their schemes of deception. AS the
nature of these contracts not generally known in
Europe and in portions of the United States, these
spectators meet with little difficulty in eecting sales
of their fraudulent scrip. We have been informed
that of these shares have been sold for thou
sand dollars and part of the money paid down.
The purchasers will be bitterly disappointed when
they find that their beautiful engraved scrip is as
worthless as so much blank paper.-Houston Tsle-

GooD-The Secretary of the Navy has removed
Gen. w. Gibbs Mcneil, from the Office of Eugineer
of the Brooklyn Dry Dock, and appointed Capt. Saw
yer to the place.. This Gen. Mcneil was the COM
mander of the Algerine forces Of Rhode Island and
was very active in crushsng the of the people,
With this would be sufficient reason for his reno
val, but there were other weighty reasons for the
change. As Capt. Sawyer was an Engineer of the
Department, saving of $1,000 year will be made !;
and II is charged that Mcneil has been extrayagant
and kept needlessly large staff We do know that
is of regret that the federal press has assaed
Mr.. Bancroft in advance. His efficiency, ability and
and industry will shine the brighter for it.-N IL.
Patriot.
PAY AND MILEAeE.-Some journals appear to think
that the Vice President has established new primer
pies in fixing the rate of mileage for Senators, and
has revived what is called constructive allowance.
This we apprehend is error-he has pursued and
carried the uniform practice. The law is distinct
in fixing the mileage the 'estlmated' distance OF
the member from home without reference to the queS-
ton whether he goes over that ground We have al
ways believed that the trainers of the law under the
provision of the CONSTRUCTION intended the mileage
part of the compensation for the service of the
member. and that they to be taken together the
law being clear that much per mile allowed is tc
be ADDED to the daily pay, great sacrifices Of private
interests being constantly made by eminent men
ceptng such stations.-N. Y. Sun.

able appearance, calling himsf Bowen has been de-
ceiying the people of Ogden, Monroe county, where
he went about two monts ago. representing himself as
baptist preacher, and by extraordinary, professions
of piety, and holding protracted meetings, &c, &c,

forwards it was discovered that he mad at least two
wives in Oneida county. Being thus detected, the
hypocrtcal rascal fled but after considerable search

was carried off to neghboring tavern, and securely
locked up in a room, to await his examination the

Oh the following morning he was not to be found

house without success and clue could be found to
his mysterious disappearance At length one of the
searching party CHANGED to jump with considerable
force upon bed in the where the object OF their
pursuit had been confined ..Signs of woe were
then given by the missing individual who was found
snugly deposited in the straw tick OF the bed OF
course further concealment out of the question,
and he came forth He was examined, and commit
ted on charge of bigamy.

partment has made good beginning In availing it.
self of Professor Morse's improvement In the Mag
netic Telegraph to facilitate business communication
between the cities of Washington and Baltimore. 1t
seems that this important agent has been placed
der the exclusive control of the department, and
engagements have been made for extending its benefits
to every class of citizens, by transmitting any de-
spatches that individuals may entrust to it. Agents
are stationed both ends of the Telegraph six speci
fed hours in the day. One receives the dispatches
which are written in magnetic characters, the other
translates them on sheet of paper, and sends it
directed; Immediately by penny post. All commune
cations thus Transmitted will be considered strictly
confidential and the characters relating thereto In
stantly destroyed The compensation is fixed at one
fourth of cent, for each magnetic character
in every case to be prepaid. The letter carrier will
receive the usual fee of cents each letter. Pro-
lessor Morse has been appointed superintendent of
this invaluable branch of the Email service"

SUPREME CoURT OF NV YoRK.-Charles A. WI
son VS.. Alexander Slidel 1ackenzie-This was an
action for assault and battery and false imprson-
ment board the u. S. brig Somers. The plaintiff
suspected of being connected with the mutinous
design which Midshipman Spencer charged with
setting foot. Wilson, it is said, was ironed and
confined on deck, and thus brought into port After
arriving here he imprisoned in store house at
the Navy Yard until released under habeas corpus
Upon his release, ScOes and Cooper, as his attor-
neys, issued writ in the Supreme Court against
Capt. Mackenzie for false Imprisonment and battery
Capt NJ. pleaded abatement to the jurisdiction Of
the Court, the ground that being officer in the
u S. Navy, and having acted in the exercise of the
discipline of the Navy he not accountable to the
civil tribunals To this plea the plaintiff put in
general demurrer
The case was submitted to the Supreme Court on
written arguments, John B. Scoles, Esq, appearing
as counsel for Wilson, and John Duer and Daniel
Lord, Esqrs for Capt Mackenzie.
At the late term of the Supreme Court, Chief Jus
tce Nelson pronounced the decision of the Court in
favor Of the demurrer and against the validity of the
plea to the jurisdiction The Court decided that Cap
tain NJ must meet the action In the civil court (the
CircuiD In which it entered; and that officers of
the Navy answerabe in damages for cruel treat
ment to subordinates, if it occur upon the high
seas or in foreign port. Capt. Nj. must therefore
proceed to his defence, which will necessarily bring
up the incidents connected with the Somers matters.

IMPORTANT JUDICIAL DEcIsIoN.-Capt Jewett, of
who is still domiced here, having been ordered to
Fort Winebago, in the Territory of Wisconsin, pro-
ceeded thither in the year ls43 taking with him his
slave, Amelia, and kept her there performing service
for him until 1874 when he sent her back to Kentucky
On the return of Amelia to Kentucky, she filed her
bill asserting her right to freedom by virtue of these
facts and of the ordinance of Congress passed for the
regulation of the Northwestern Territory which or
dnance declares that neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude shall exist in said Territory
Chancellor Nicholas decided yesterday that the ord-
nance of Congress does not apply to mere soourners
or persons transiently in said Territory, and that
Amelia is not entitled to her freedom. We are in
formed that the case will probably be taken to higher
COURT Louisville Journal.

Gen. John mcCaIIa, of Kentueky.

No appointment could be more gratifying to the
democracy of the Western country, than the one
Gently made by Mr. Polk, of this gentleman, to be Sc
cond auditor of the Treasury. Although residing in
the vicinity of Mr.. Clay, and amid his prosecuting
followers, lie has ever been unfinching, unwaver-
ing democrat and consequently opposed to the great
embodiment. In the late canvass he was selected as
of the State Eleetots and he entered the contest
determined to "cry aloud and spare hot" His con-
uguity to the residence of Mr.. Clay and his know
ledge of that ambitious and disappointed statesma's
character and corruptons, made him the proper per-
son to expose and denounce them; and boldly and
fearlessly did he do it, although he knew that he
he would be prosecuted and reviled by the deluded
followers of Mr.. Clay. His industry and talent
are undOubted, and we predict he will make a
popular and efficient officer. Scorr:
