JEFFERSON Texas, May 20.
EDITOR BANNER.-Your article in this is
sue of the 10Th instant on "TaX Sales" ia
pre-eminently the best thing have read on
the subject, and it applies to every county
in the State Your view of the case is good
But from another standpoint, please take a
nearer and clearer view of the matter, and
fully understand the constitutional rights OF
the citiz ms OF every county IN the State.
In the first place, the ownership of lands
in Texas is derived directly from the State.
The people hold their homestesds and other
lands, by deed in letters patent, for vslua-
bic consideration duly paid to the State by
the original grantee therein named, This,
ipso facto, constitutes an executed contract
between the State and the vendee, wherein
the State conveys to the said vendee his heirs
and assigns forever, all the right, title and in
terest OF the State in and unto the tract of
land described in the patent. There is no
reservation of any right to the State what
ever-not even the right to tax Such deed
is contract of the most solemn and binding
nature, and ought not to be impaired by SUBJ
! sequent legislation.
The constiiu ion of the United States saws
plainly, Art. l, See. 10, "That no State shall
pass any retroactive law, or any law impair
ing the obligation of contracts. And the
Supreme court of the United States has de.
decided in the case of Fletcher vs. Peck
"That grant of land by State, or the Leg,
stature of State, Is contract which can
not be impaired by subsequent legislation u
Th State is estopped by her d ed of con.
vey0nce from claiming any demands against
the lands "hatever, except eminent domain
The State in her sovereign capacity, has the
| right OF eminent domain only for public
highways, upon tender OF reasonable com
rensation for the land taken for that pur
pose. This is the fullest extent of sover
eighty over the land itself.
The doctrine Of State sovereignty has &c
our Legislatures astray from the constitution
ofthe United States, and has resulted in
ruinous system of State despotism that nv
| for many years and is now causing UNTOLD
suffering among the people, and has, even II
this day. reached the very threshold of wors

A DICK TURPIN.
q. W. Pringie on IL Writ OF Habeas
Corpus.

Yesterday in the District court, G.. w.
Pringle, charged with robbery, had hearing
before Judge G.. n. Aldredge on y writ sf
hsbeas corpus, and was bound over in the
sum of 500, There are two other charges
of similar character 'gainst hun.
Pringle has been confined in the Ellis
county Jail, gether with his brother Tom,
who is charged with The same offence, ever
since last November. 1t will be remembered
that on the 10Th of that month three men,
supposed to be the prisoner, his brother Tom
and Frank Jacks m, of Sam
Bass notriety, started out on
n robbing expedition, playing Dick
Turpin IN perfection, and raidinG aud robing
some eight camps of travellers and emigrants
between Alvarado, johnson county, and Ce-
dar Hill, in this county, securing some $500
in money and lot of clothing, The two
Pringle brothers were afterward captured by
posse of citizens from johnson county,
but the party who WAS recognized by par
ties who protested to know him, as
Frank Jackson nude good his escape on Il
ba1ed faced horse be WAS riding. When
they were robbing party Of movers, one OF
the three, finding roll OF money sewed up
in the lining of coat, sang the following
scug, which is embodied in the written testi-
mony:
"Givr me money when am rerJy,
Give whiSliy VIII n am TRY,
Good vic uals when : am hu cry,
And relig on wAeu tie
The prisoner was brought up by Sheriff
Ryburn, nd was prosecuted by County AT
torncy M II, of Ellis county, and defended
by Captaiu Anderson, of Waxahachie. He
was committed to Jail in default of bond
and will be taken to the Ellis county jail this
morning.
