THE President ON DpELLISG.-ODe OF
The good stories of the day, and one most

lion, is connected with The application for the

The TEXAN BoUNDARY.-The Charleston
CfciIidn of the 18th ult. mentions a lawsuit, OF
great interest and public Importance, which
has been instituted in the United States Court
at Galveston. A citizen of Louisiana sued
citizen of the County of Santa Fe as citizen
of the State of Texas. The defendant plead
ed, in abatement of the suit, that Santa Fe
forms no part of the State of Texas; that. up
to the late treaty Of peace between tee United
States and Mexico, Santa Fe was a part OF the
Republic of Mexico; and that, by said treaty,
il was ceded to the Unite1 StaIes and now
constitutes part of its territory, and is there
fore out Of the jurisdiction of the State of
Texas. To this plea the plaintiff has demurr
ed, and assigned for reasons the Revolution OF
Texas, and the act of 1856 defining its limits
the Joint resolutions of the annexation, and
the proceedings in execution thereof; and the
late treaty OF peace fixing the limits OF the
United States beyond the boundary of Texas
to the County of Santa Fe. "Thus," says the
Cirilian, is the great question presented to
the National tribunals for decision. 1t will be
argued Immediately, and decided in week
or two, and taken to the Supreme Court at
Washington for revision, however it may be
determined"
