the Porte, IN which the Ottoman empire IL
eounselled that the course Of the Porte should
be so shaped in its dealings with the Gre.

GALVESTON, JAM 6.-Some days since
capias was served on Major Gen. Heintzel-
man, by order OF the sheriff OF Gaudaloupe
county, charging him with the commission Of
some offences against the laws Of Texas,
committed by his subordinate officers acting
under his (Heintzelmai,'s) orders from supe-
rior authority. Gen. II. refused to comply
with the summons to appear before Judge
Baldwin, the United States District Attor-
ney, in letter, to which synopsis Of his re-
ply is attached:
"GALvEsros, Dec 70, 1865.
Judge J. d. BaLdtOin, U. s. Disiriet Attorney
HoaItoa, TeIas:
"MY DEAR SIR: A few days since was
loupe county, Texas, by Judge ireland, no.
toriously disloyal l replied by furnishing
the OF ders under which acted, and the letter
Of my Adjutant General, enclosing it to the
agent Of the Freedmen's Bureau at Seguin.
He has been indicted for theft, for acts CON-
mitted by another under that order. Neither
he or went to Seguin. The present dis
turbed condition Of the country will not ad-
init OF my leaving my post. l would not
deem my life safe in the hands Of the legal
authorities, as know two individuals who
were recently taken from the jail in Bolton,
Bill county, Texas, by mob, and put to
death. Z. 40
There Is strong feeling against oil officers
who have been in any way instrumental in
sustaining the United States laws, particu-
larly those connected with the Freedmen's
Bureau The evident object Of the process
is to annoy and oppress me for performing
my duty, and through me to throw discredlt
upon the United States authorities in this
State.
81 remain, truly, yours.
"S. 7. HEINrzEINAS,
| "Breyet Major General"
Judge Baldwin sustained the position Of
Gen. Ii. in IN elaborate opinion. Chief
Justice Taney said the State authorities
fence against the majesty Of the laws OF the
United States as to have imprisoned an off,
Ger and attempted the imprisonment Of 9TH
ers while in the discharge Of severe and i'm
peratiye national aud official duties. No
State judge or court, after they are officially
informed that the party Is imprisoned under
the authority Of the United States, has any
right to interfere with him or to require him
10 be brought before them; and II the au-
thority Of State in the form Of judicial pro
cess or otherwise should attempt to control
the marshal or other authorized officer or
agent Of the United States in any respect in
the custody OF the prisoner, IL would be his
duty 10 resist il and TO call 10 his aid any
force that might be necessary to maintain
the authority Of law against illegal interfer.
ence. WI. ...
The pith and moment Of the case summed
up is simply that an officer Of the United
States obeying the orders Of his superior, as
in this instance, cannot be interfered with by
State authority. The question as TO the
propriety Of your proceedings is inquirable
into by the power that placed you here and
Lade you do that thing As well might the
President Of the United States be dragged
from Cabinet meeting on civil process
for signing the death warrants Of the con
spirators as for you to be carried away from
your post on civil process.
The Austin State Gazette publishes com
plimentary letter from Governor Throck
morton, regretting the suspension Of his re
lief coL1missary department, and congrGtu
lating him On the general satisfaction bis ad
ministration gives the people Of Texas.
