APPROPRIATION OF GovBRsMENT MoNgY. Tile
San Antonio Express OF the 9th instant relates
with some particularly the manner in which
the revolutionary authorities in Texas got pos.
session of large sum Of ready money belonging
to the United States. We copy the essential
portions of its statement:
"a short time since Major Mnckin, n United
states paymaster, sent in his resignation and
took a commission under the Commissioners
This gentleman dispatched Lieutenant Thomas
Jones to New Orleans for money there on deposit
in his name. While in New Orleans Lieut.. Jones

able to commit violation of the law. and in
their individual capacity would not be guilty ol
such an act, but as the representatives of
another body, acting under instructions aud un.
der the pressure OF public necessity, they have
thus acted aud we speak of them merely as
Commissioners. To appreciate the thing fully
we must remember that this money belonged to
the Federal Government, in the hands Of a pay
master, and intended to pay off the soldiers who
have protected our frontier and the suffers who
have supplied them, and that Texas is not at
war with the Federal Government, but merely
going through peaoeable separation from it
No doubt it is n windfall to the Commissioners,
but it is sorry work for the Uncle Sam soldiers
