tiiK Your select committee to whom wa referred
the queation debated at the last meeting of thit Asso-
ciation concerning the derisive and disrespectful re-
mark againt the Irish citizen of Texas made by Sen-
ator IMllard. In tbe Senate Chamber of the State of
Texas on the seventh of May pending the dltcnsrion
of the bill to incorporate the Irish Immigrant Aid and
Colonization Association in which the said Senator
IiilUrd by hi motion to refer the bill to the Cominit-
mittee on Stock and Stock liaising conveyed the insult-
In!; insinuation that the interest of the Irish people de-
served no higher consideration than brute; and yonr
committee having npon inquiry further found that the
said Senator IMllard. on the occasion referred to. used
other language calculated to disparage and insult the
Irish race Irish by birth or descent and by tbe suf-
frage of moat of whom he now bold hit teat in the
Senate of Texas and
Wutnca Tbe general remarks of the said Senator
Dlllard relative to the Irish race have been of a charac-
ter degrading to them and highly reprehensible and un-
becoming him the said Senator Dlllard in his position
as a representative of the people: and
WiiKBKia. A review of the history of Texas demon-
strate that thi people the Irish were among
the earliest of the settler of the State then nnder the
Mexican rule that in it struggle for Independence
they were among the foremost shared the responsibil-
ities hardship danger and sacrifice a the most
real on of it heroes shed their blood at freely and
bore the burthen equally with the most valiant of the
brave ones and defender of the Kepnblic; therefore
be It
Resolved We the united Irishmen and the descend-
ant of Irishmen in Texas associated together
fur tbe general good and welfare of our race and
residing at tbe capital of this great State do hereby
enter our solemn and indignant protest against the
seurilou and indecent Iniuruage used by said .Senator
jiillurd In the hall of the Legislature against the dig-
nity of our race and their descendants.and that we the
representative of an element deserving at least of
respect do characterize tbe language of Senator Dil-
Inrii and tbe man who ntiercd it a vulvar disrespec-
table mid deserving of the scorn and reprobation of
every iridium- and their descendants in Texas and
throngliout the entire land and be it further
Jtcsotred.That the renewed thanks of this association
In it own behalf and of the Irish and Irish-American
c;t b-on of Texai are hereby tendered to the Honorable
Webster Klanagan Senator from the Fifth Senatorial
District for the commendable teal exhibited In the in-
terest of onr people by the just and merited rebuke
which he offered tbe raid Senator Dilhud on the occa-
sion herein refered to and that he the said Honorable
Webster Flanngan be commended to the good will of
ever Irishman and Irish-American and their friends
throughout the State and be it further
Kesolved that the action of this association in thee
premise be communicated to the several other Irieh
societies and associations in the State and that the

Noble Sentiment" Ileamtirulljr Kxprced.
The following from tli c Jloliilo Register
is in striking contrast to the attempt of the
Grtvnil Army of the Republic to prevent the
decoration of tho graves of Confederate
soldiers on Decoration tiny:

inunicntion to this journal- and printed yes-

That we tske it is in keeping with the
spirit and the law of this order of brother-

Five of Ihe Thlewe Captared Citizen
Police Successful.
We have purposely refrained for several
days past from publishing the progress of
the citizen police force for obvious reasons
but to-day we are justified and highly
elated in being enabled to give partially
perhaps all the information that we are in
possession of. Suffice it to Bay that a vigi-
lant police composed of some of the very
best citizens of this McLennan and other
counties Limestone Hill and Bosque; ac-
companied by officers of the law have been
on the scout day and night since the late
jail delivery and their labors have been re-
warded fully np to the public expectation.
In the early part of last week a band of
five horse thieves raided from this county
into the adjoining county of Limestone
where they succeeded in gathering together a
number of horse stock with which they made
away into Hill county and there on Thurs-
day last they were pursued by a force of
citizens from Limestone. Having learned that
they were on the right track the Limestone
1arty were joined by a similar force in Hill
icaded by JudgcJ. H. Dyer Deputy Sher-
iff nnd the pursuit rebegun in downright
earnest. The thieves were tracked to the
point where they crossed the Brazos river
traveling westward and from thence in a
northwesterly direction to the hilly country
ou the confines of Bosque and Erath coun-
ties near or on the Poluzy creek where in a
point of timber reclining under the invit-
ing shade of a post oak the scoundrels were
discovered. At this juncture the pursuers
dismounted and used other stragetic means
to get as near to their game as possible but
were discovered when in about forty yards
of it. The .pursuers instantly demanded an
unconditional surrender. Tliis was re-
sponded to by a volley from the thieves
when the fight became general. It didn't
last long however and the result footed up
two of the thieves killed two badly
wounded and one escaped.
One of the killed was recognized as the
notorious outlaw John Smith of this
county who was released from custody in
the jail delivery. The other man kiljed it
as yet unknown as also are the two wounded
men. But the one that escaped in the fight
has since been arrested on the Tchuacana Jn
this county and named Pink Smith a
brother to John mentioned above.
Another band of horse thieves were over-
hauled in Hamilton couidy near Ilyco and
two of them killed one of whom was named
Fulcher and a brother of Billy Fulcher
now confined in our county jail for mur-
der. The other man's name has not trans-
pired as we write. .
Here in McLennan county the planning
and operations of the citizen police have
been quite as successful as in the other
counties named though attended with less
blood letting. Up to the present the force
have captured five of the Tchuacana Mo-
docs viz: Pink Smith Marion Sanchez
Spencer Miller Carabine anJ a one-armed
man named . Against nearly all of
these indictments have been found by late
grand jury and some of them are suspected
of having connection directly with the late
jail delivery. A lot more of this gang of
outlaws arc still at large but they are
closely watched and the hope ia entertained
of their capture soon. The captured are
now lodged in the county jail under a strong
guard and their career so far as outlawry
is concerned may be reasonably stated as at
its close.
To say that the success of the citizen po-
lice has been bailed with joy but feebly
expresses the feeling of our long suffering
Seople particularly those whose lives were
aily aud nightly imperilled so long as
those desperadoes mentioned were at
liberty.
In closing this account of the day's do-
ings we feel called upon to express our
gratificp.tion at the results attained and
make especial mention of those among the
citizen police who contributed so largely to
the present success. Namely Lewis Moore
Dr. Riddle Col. Love Deputy Sheriff Mc-
Gehec Capt. Tom Killinsworth Jack Bu-
chanan and General Sullioss. These ren-
dered faithful service as did all who ac-
companied the expedition but whose names
w e are not in possession of.
And it proves that' a State police force
or partisan strolling army is not at all nec-
essary to put down lawlessness in Texas
and that a sheriff in any one of tho hun-
dred and fifty counties of the State -commanding
the respect and confidence of the
people can raise citizen police sutlicicnt to
rccl lawlessness internal or external.
Waco Examiner.
Not So Bd Bargain After All.
"Two small rocky inlands in the Bchring
sea" says the London Glolie "will soon
have paid back to the United States Treas-
ury the whole sum expended upon the pur-
-hasc of Alaska. .When the cession of this
territory was granted by Russia people
smiled at the bargain made by the Ameri-
cans. It was asserted that Yankee shrewd-
ness had deserted Mr. Seward in the matter.
He knew better nnd did not buy with his
eyes shut. St. Paul's and St. George's Is-
lands belonging to the Aleutian chain have
since Wen leased to the Alaska Commercial
Company for seal fishing at a yearly rental
of $53000. A tax of nearly three dollars
on each fur seal skin taken and shipped
from the island is aLjo iaiDosed. As 100.-
000 skins arc exported yearly now to San
Francisco and New York a fruitful source
nf revenue; is obtained from these two Dar
ren rocks. This territorial enterprize of thtf
United Mates is tnerciore a greai success
and will probably help to develop the idea
so rapidly grow ing in America that colonial
possessions are useful from many national
points of view." .
The New Foetal Law
The new postal law providing for the
payment of postage upon exchanges will go
into force on the first of July. The pot-
oiTic authorities arc now ensaecLin per
fecting their plans for the collection of this
new revenue i heir arrangements nave not
vet been completed but in all probability
they w ill adopt the same system now in use
wHh the advertising agent.
Five cents per quarter arc to 1 charged
for the transmission of each copy of the
ncwrif.rers in the diHerent exchange lists
Oa the 1st of Julv if the proposed plan be
adopted and for the follow ing six days the
number of copies forwarded by each news-
r:MM?r estaLh.-hment wnl be counted and
tlic total numNr received by the po.nelaee
daring.the week will !e accepted as an av

when cither the husband or the wife mes
leaving young children and the last ex-
pressed wishes of the deceased parent are
contrary to those of the survivor whose
authority is to prevail! Or in the lifetime
of both "parents when their view s are at
variance as to the education or instruction
of any particular child whose wish i to
govern? This is liable to occur in the
most happily constituted marriage when
ther is not the slightest danger of a separ-
ation. For these reasons the decisions of
courts of law on this subject should be
made known in order that those about o
enter into a mixed marriage may clearly
understand the powers jriven to them or
the duties incumbent npon them under cer-
tain circumstances.
The Lords Justices of An acal rendered a
decision in the Court of Chancery in Lon
don on the Cth of May in the case of An-
dre ws. against Salt a case which has ex-
cited interest in England for some time past
because it involved many of the most diffi-
cult points with regard to the custody of
children of mixed marriages. This decision
is onexof the most important on this subject
in the English reports.
Thomas Andrews the father of the in
fant plaintiff Mary Ellen Andrews a .girl
now ubout eleven years old was a chemist
in Liverpool and was always ' a Roman
Uatlioiic. in Aiarcn i)4 no mameu .suss
Ellen Flectcroft who was a Protestant and
resided in Chester. On tho day the par-
ties became engaged in a conversation in
tne presence of the lady's mother respecting
the difference of religion between them it
was formally .agreed that if there should 13
any family the jnrls should be brought up
as Protestants and the boys as Catholics. A
boy. Francis Xavier was .afterward born
and was brought up as a Roman Cutholic.
In May ISC'J the daughter alary jbiien
was lxrn and in the following June she
was baptized by a clcrcrvnian of the Church
of England in Chester. At this time Mr.
Andrews was very ill of consumption and
together with his boy was supported by his
relations in Manchester. His w nc and the
little girl were supported by her relations in
Chester. The testimony varied as to the
father's having approved the baptism of
Mary Ellen as a Protestant ; but it appears
that he did not take any active- steps to
prevent the baptism whatever his secret
wishes may have been.
On tho fourteenth of rcbruary lSbJ two
days before his death Mr. Andrews made a
will in which lie directed that his children
should be baptized and brought up as mem
bers of the Roman Catholic Church. He
also appointed Joseph Andrews his brother
as their guardian to carry out the provisions
of the will. Mrs. Andrews arrived at Man-
chester the day after her husband's death.
but was not informed that her husband had
by his will directed that her daughter 6hould
be brought np as a Catholic. Her husband
left no assets and after his death the entire
expense of the boy's education and mainte-
nance was sustained by the paternal rela-
tions and principally by the boy's uncle and
guardian.
TKree years after "the death of Mr. An
drews his. widow married a Mr. Kelsey and.
went to live in Liverpool. The little girl
Mary Ellen who since her birth had been in
their household continued to live with her
grandfather and grandmother Mr. and Mrs.
Flectcroft and was educated as a Protest-
ant The uncle saw her occasionally but
took no step to assert his authority as tes-
tamentary guardian until the end of March
1871. when ho demanded of Mrs. IMett-
croft that the child should be given up to
him to be educated as a Catlrolic. This was
refused positively in a letter written by Mrs.
Kelsey in January 1872. In the following
February Joseph Andrews applied t the
Court of Queen's Bench font w rit of habeas
corpus. " I lie case was argucu ana tne
Court held "that notwithstanding tlie late-
ness of the application and the apparent
harshness of such a proceeding toward the
grandmother of the child we have no dis-
cretion to refuse the writ and we should le
bonnd to hand over the child to tlie custody
of the guardian as the only custody legally
free from restraint." An application was
then made to Yice-Chanccllor Malins for
an injunction-to restrain Joseph Andrews
the uncle from interfering witn tne custody
of the child. The injunction was granted.
The uncle appealed from it and the appeal
was argued before the Lords Justices at Lin-
cola's Inn. The Rev. George Salt Rector
of St. Bridget's in Chester was appointed
the chancery guardian of the infant whence
his appearance in the cause.
Lord Justice Mellisli delivered tne judg
ment of the Court which is very full elabo-
rate and able. The witnesses on both sides
and the child herself were examined on the
appeal. Three questions were decided in
the judgment:
I. That an agreement made lcfore malt
riage between a husband and wife of differ
ent religious persuasions that boys should
be educated in the religion of the father
and girls in tho religion of the mother is not
iinuinr as a icgni contract; mat uuiuagea
cannot be reco vered for its breach in a court
of law nor can specific performance be en
forced in equity.
The father has the ricrht to determine in
"what religion the child shall Ikj educated
and that riprht cannot be surrendered by any
agreement which he may enter into. In this
case tho ante nuptial agreement was of no
weight; it had no binding effect.
71. But the father mav wave or abandon
hi right to have his child educated ia his
own religion by . acts which amount to a
waiver or an abandonment. Thomas An-
drews the husband lost the right belong-
ing to him as the girl's father ly his own
condtr t; by not telling his wife whea the
girl was born that he wished her to be bap
tised as a Catholic; by-his not having
evinced displeasure w hen Mary Ellen mis
Iwiptised a Protestant; by his not having
shown any intention that hcdesired her to
le educated in the Catholic faith; and by
having concealed from his w ue the making
of his will.
Joseph Andrews the guardian and un
cle lost his right under the will by not as-
serting his authority for years and by his
not having objected to or opposed the Prot
estant traiuinsr of the infant until 1871.
III. When the father has so waived or
abandoned his right the interests of the
child arc to be considered and to be fol
lowed.
The learned Judges were of opinion from
their interview with Mary Ellen that she
had not acquired the distinctive principles
of the church of England to such an extent
as to make it wrong or cruel thitshe should
le educated in the Roman Catholic religion.
The religious question w as not considered
therefore as atlecting the child's interej;
but the temporal advantages of remaining
with the mother s relations were such as to
convince the court that the infant should be
lefi with them. In the judgment it was
said that t he mother s relations had acquired
a strong atlcetion for the girl and the girl
for them; and as the girl must be educated
by charity it was manifestly better for her
that sue should tic intrusted to the chanty
of those whose kindness the had already
experienced. The order of .the V ice Chan-
cellor was affirmed the appe&l was dis-
missed and the child was givt n to her grand-
parents to l brought un a3 a Protestant.
No one can t.-ike exception to this deci-
sion for it U f;iir f.-r nil; nn l were a case
to cotne up to-morrow in w hiih the mother
was a Catholic aud the circumstances were

A $4000000 Plant. .
Corretsjiondencc of The Sun.
ST. Locis May 20. Congress having ap
propriated $4000000 for the erection of a
new Cust&m House in. this city there has
been a grand rush for the spoils. A half
million has already been spent for the lot on
whicli to put the "building. Two kinds of
stone are to be used in its construction.
The contract for the upper stone work
has been given to Snyder & Brown
the owners of granite quarries out on the
Iron Mountain llailroad. This Brown is
our old friend Gratz ex-Senator and cx-
candidate for the Yicc-Prcsidencv. . It is
understood that Mr. Orvil Grant the
brother of the President has been made a
clerk of this granite company at a salary of
$"000 a year and it is asserted that in ad-
dition to this sum ho is to receive ten per
cent of the contract price. Orvil was in
the city on a lark some two w eeks ago and
is said to have been unusually leaky. I
have good authority for saying that he im-
parted the story of his good luck to two or
three o his old cronies who proved as
leaky as Orvil himself. Some think that
the 1 'resident's recent visit was partly on
account of this report. If ho has crushed
the business nobody is aw'are of it. Orvil
is in good spirits and looks like a man who
has a big thing within easy grasp.
I hero is no doubt but what Air. Charles
W. .Ford Collector of Internal Revenue
here arid general agent of the United States
Express Company has been offered the
secretaryship or the interior it is or was
the intention of the President to place
Delano in Richardson's place as Secretary of
tho Treasury and to put Ford ia Delano's
place lord is a wealthy . batchelor and
has a fair reputation. He was formerly one
of Grant's most intimate friends and was in
the habit of taking him home when the
army officer was hopelessly intoxicated.
Some of the Republicans here believe that
Grant has abondoned the idea of placing
Ford in the Interior Department but the
shrewder ones say that the thing is bound
to come in tho long run. When questioned
closely Ford declares that he will decline
the office.
Provision has been made for another rela
tive of the President. His name is W. B.
W. Barnard. He married one of the Dents
and was made Inspector of National Banks
for tliis district which includes Illinois
Missouri and other States. It is said to be
a fine place- for a strictly honest man and
Mr. Barnard is known to be just such a
man.
All the Federal offices in St. Louis arc
said to be filled by relatives' nnd old army
cronies of the President. They had a
glorious time during his late visit. One of
Grant s most ardent supporters told me to
day with tears is his eyes that the General is
drinking unusually hard anil that it is
seriously airectinp; Jus health. 1 do not
believe" said he "that he will live his term
out unless he puts on the break."

Washington May 2(5. Both of the
morning organs of tlie Administration in
this city have articles to-day justifying the
iilvasion of Mexican soil -by (Vlonel Mc-
Kenzie. The Republican oldly declares
its belief that Colonel McKcnxic would not
have dared take so" important a step us that
of entering upon the borders of another
nation without positive knowledge that his
act would be sustained by his official supe-
riors. It says: '
There is authority for stating that this
vigorous proceeding of Colonel Mclvenzic
was not unexpected by the department.
This is quite significant but t lie follow
ing is still more so : .
It is probable that this plan was the di
rect result of the observations of Secretary
Belknap and General Sheridan during their
recent inspection of the Mexican frontier.
So far therefore from the proceedings of
Colonel McKcnzip being disavowed at
Washington it is by no means unlikely that
the precedent thus initiated may be speedily
and frequently repeated if it diall become
necessary to preserve the American frontier
from savage forays.
This accords with the information I have
obtained from reliable sources as to the
manner in which this serious question is
viewed by the Administratior.
THE rilliSIDEJiT WANTS MOKli TKlvIUTOUY.
I learn that the President prior to the
receipt of the news of McKcnzic's raid ex-
pressed himself freely on the subject of an-
nexation and particularly said that he was
in favor of extending our territory south;
that while ho would not advocate this policy
he would give it all the encouragement he
could. The impression prevails here that
there is a big job onccalud somewhere in
this business and the few who are posted
say that it means ' the acquisition of Chi-
huahua Sonora and Lower California. The
Chronicle's editorial is a more deftly put
feeler of the public pulse than that in the
Republican. It aims to test the subject of
the invasion in a diplomatic w ay but the
object is apparent. -
AUUIMSTHATlOX LOGIC.
After saying that the act of Colonel Mc-
Kcnzie will undoubtedly cause Tiniest dis-
cussion between the Secretary Oi Statc and
the representative of the Mexican Govern-
ment residing in Washington the writer
arguc3 that the Mexican authorities are re-
sponsible for the act3 of the hostile Indians
whether they are citizens of the United
States or Mexico because they started from
Mexican soil to commit their depredations
and retired thither after the overt act.- He
argues that if the Indians have ever been
recognized in any way as subject to tbe au-
thorities of Mexico their armed incursions
into the United States for murder and plun-
der would according to the principles of
international law be an act of war on the
part of Mexico. In either case he says
Mexico must be regarded as the aggressor
and the proper party to make the amende
honorable.
HOW THE MKSKASS WILL LOOK AT IT.
This is certainly a novel view of the case
and quite refreshing reading w ith the ther-
mometer 85 in the shade. It will however
strike the Mexicans as a oueer kind of
ethics that after having been grossly in
sulted by an invasion of their soil by an
armed force in pursuit of a band of Indians
who are as much denizens of the Lmted
States as they are of Mexico they should be
required to make an humble apology to the
aggressor. But people in this country have
kBg since learned that the iniea who control
our allairs hesitate at nothing w ncn tueir
iersorjal or party intercuts arc to be sub
6crved. Xtilher do they find it difficult to
secure writers to i t tifv tln-ir actions how
ever ihjegrd or outrage-out they may l
