McAlCdu COilSTcSS, anu Inc dTClCle lJSell was
reprobated in that letter in the strongest
terms. Besides, our commissioners to Mex
leo had been instructed that neither the
president nor the senate of the United states
can ever consent to ratify any treaty con-
tanning the 10th article of the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo in favor of grantees Of
land in Texas or elsewhere. And again,
should the Mexican government persist in
retaining this article, then all prospects of
immediate peace is ended; and of this you
may give them an absolute assurance
It is commended, however, that the case of
United States VS.. Arrendondo, 6 Pet, SOL,
governs this case in favor of the contention
Of the appellant. In that case, however,
the grant to Arrondondo was Of specific
tract of four square leagues with the condi-
ten that he should establish 9 colony there
on. This condition was held to be a con-
dition subsequent. 1t differs from this case
in that there was no grant of any specific
body of land, but a mere designation Of a
large tract within which colony might be
formed and established; after which the
land to the colonists was to be allotted and
the premium lands to the empresario meas
ured off.
Neither does the case Of Gonzales vs. Ross,
12O U. 8. sos, control this case. They are
entirely dissimilar. In that case the grant
was made under and by virtue of law Of
Coahuila and Texas passed in1S32, and a
commissioner appointed under that law put
the grantee in possession of thetraet, at the
same time giving him the usual testimonio
or deed. This court held that the grant was
absolute in form and sufficient to pass the
title. The reasoning of the court in that
case, instead Of supporting the theory of the
appellant, in reality is againstit. In support
ofthe general theory of this case which we
have adopted, see Freeman VS.. United States,
IL How, $40; United States vs.. Amijo, s
WALL, IA; Miller VS.. Dale. 90 U; s., 473
United States vs.. Mclaughlin, 1877 u. s..
428.
There are other questions presented, bu,
the foregoing virtually disposes of them
In no aspect of the case can the appellar
recover. There is no error in the decree O.
the court below, and it is Affirmed.

made by virtue of this article eight of the
law, and means simply the selection OF .
place for the colony. Passing on to arti-
Gle IL, we find what the government will
give to the empresario specifically de-
clared, to-wit: "For each hundred fami-
lies, five sitios of grazing land and five la.
bors, at least the one-hals of which shall
be without the facility of irrigation" This
article makes plain the meaning of article
three of the grant, and shows that that
means simply that, in the consideration
of the setting apart of this large tract OF
land, the petitions agree to introduce ana
settle on that land two hundred foreign
families. Articles IL and IL together
provided what shall be given to the empire
ceives more than eleven square leagues OF
land. This last article shows clear intent
that no party should obtain title to more
than eleven square leagues, no matter what
service in colonization he may render to the
state. Articles IA, Is and 16 provide what
the individual settlers are to receive, and
sections from IL to 16, inclusive, explain
fully the meaning of article of the grant,
which declares that the state retains title to
all the surplus land within the grant after
laying off that which belongs to the empire
sarios and their settlers. mus the law
makes plain the meaning of the contract
and shows that it was not conveyance
passing title. In other words, the grant
must be presumed to have been made in
pursuance of the law, and to be limited by
the terms of the law. Indeed, it is doubtful
whether grant made in excess OF the
authority given by the law would be valid
This grant, in terms, refers to the law under
which it was made, and shows that it was
made in pursuance Of the authority con.
ferred by that law, which provides that the
government will select tract of land upon
which the empresario may establish 9
colony, and that, if he does, he will be paid
in land at fixed rate, and that the colo
nists that he introduces will also receive
definite amounts of land. This grant, made
thus in pursuance Of this law, means JUS
what the law says it may mean, and wa
simply designation of the tract within
which the petitioners might establish I
colony. 1t Of itself passed title to no por

church last night was measured by the
capacity of the church, and indeed an at
tentive one. Rev. Mr.. Tuttle preached
vigorous sermon, not perhaps with as
much unctiou as has attended most OF
his previous sermons, but it moved the
audience and in the atterImeetingsthere
were three professions OF faith in Christ.
There will be no service tonight, but
on Sunday he will hold special service
for the Sunday school at $50 O'Clock
and preach at II O'Clock and again at
night. The public is cordially invited to
these meetings.
