TEXAS BAND OF CoUNrERFEITERs, FoRGERs,
ROBBERS AND MURDERERs.-We have published
some accounts of band of counterfeiters, forgers,
robbers and murderers, said to exist in Texas and
Arkansas, as well as the western part of louisiana
On the 26th ult the Washington Ranger called for
a meeting Of the good citizens of that county at
Jacksonville, and to the call was appended the i'm
portant notice that there would be Refreshments
on the occasion" According to this call, large
number of the people of Washington county met
at Jacksonville the lst inst, and the object of
the meeting was explained by DR.. R. ]. Swearn-
gen. He said that the citizens were called together
for the purpose of knowing who were their friends
and who their foes-that they were surrounded by
men of the blacklist heart-robbers, murderers,
counterfeters, forgeTs etc.--that associations were
formed in this and adjoining counties to deal with
those base wretches Chat the law cannot reaeh) in
summary manner, whenever they were fully
satisfied with their guilt.
The confessions Of Saps, Greg and Short were
read, which confessions implicated men of this and
other counties who have heretofore been considered
good citizens.
Col A, NJ. Lewis also delivered an address. H
said that the association (Which has existed for sew
eral months for the suppression of crimes and mis-
demeanou) had done all they could to rid the
country of some of the ringleaders of this diaboli
cal clan. That if the citizens in general would
unite with them, they would pursue the others and
beard them in their den that when preacher o.
the gospel would pollute the sacred desk by engag
ing in counterfeting and forgery, it was time thai
the people should rise in their majesty and strength
and purge the land of such rascals. After Col L
was through with his speech, the question wa,
put to the assembly, whether or rot they justified
the association in their acts, and the vote was
unanimous in their favor. An opportunity wal
then offered them TO sign their names and become
members Of the association, and out of the five
hundred persons present, but few left withou
joining
The Ranger, from which we take the account o
the meeting, concludes by saying A mint fo
counerfeitng is said to be near Crockett, in tht
canebrake. The particulars of this, and othe
things more startling will appear in the confessions

IMPORTANT REVENUE DEcIsIoN.-The Circuit
Court of the United States sitting at Philadelphia,
consisting of Judge Grier, of the Supreme Court,
and Judge Kane, of the District Court, have had
before them recently a suit involving important
public questions, and affecting a very large amount
Of money II is in the nature of a suit against the
late Collector of the port Of Philadelphia, brought
by merchants Of that city to recover back from the
United States duties paid under protest, upon goods
imported in 1916 into the United States from Tam
pieO when that port was in possession OF the troops
Of the United States. There are seUea or eight
millions Of dollars depending on the decision Of
the question raised. That question ia one purely
of law, viz: whether Tampico, while in the occu-
patton Of the troops Of the United States, is a
foreign port. The plaintiffs commended that, under
the law OF nations the conquered territory became
the property Of the United States-that, by con-
quest the sovereignty was changed, and that there
remained only latent or shadowy sovereignty in
Mexico, while in the possession of the United
States. That it was American territory, subject
only to be Invested by recapture or cession on
treaty Of peace. 1t was commended further, that
the instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury
of the 3oth Of Jnue, 1876, to the Collector etc,
show that ports places in Mexico, in the actual
possession Of the forces Of the United States were
regarded as domestic, and not foreign pors, I'M
der the revenue laws. The plaintiffs got verdict
at the last term Of the Circuit Court and there is
motion for new trial. The United States are
represented by the Attorney General, Reverdy
johnson, and the District Attorney for Eastern
Pennsylvania, J. W. AZ hmead. They made the
following points:
That i is question of law whether Tampioo was il
tbs United States, was fOIegn Territory.
Az eouaes are foreign which neither treaties
laws show 10 be American.
g. The President of tins United States cannot by his exc
ouOn Of the treaty making, making legal powers
add to the area OF tbs country, or diminish it.
All tariff laws which foreign at the time the tariff
law passed. remain until made American by treaty
stipulation
1t consnded that law was extended to Tampico ex
cePt the law Of the sword and that judiCton under the
military law is Incompatible with the Constitution OF the
United States and the powers Of Congress.
The Court granted new trial, without costs, OF
