WASHINGTON NEWS.
I Indisposition of the President.
A It Ik Law .Suit. i:tc., i:tc.
FUENCH S OPINION.
Washington, March 11. Acting
secretary of the treasury French
says he does not thiukthe present
Hstut ol the public trftuiry would

! bonds U:h will mature Mav 1st. He

mending an entire reorganization of
the pwlice force of the district. The
resolution was sent to the district
commissioners.
THK rUKSIOtNT.
Te the president is still some
what indisposed lie is attending to
his ollicial duties a3 usual.-' He re
ceived quite a number of visitors to
day. Arrangements for his proposed
trip to Fortress Monroe have not yet
been completed. It is thought that
the President will leave for Fortress
Monroe some time this week.
A IlIU SUIT.
The case of Win. C. Walsh, com
missioner of the general land, office
of Texas, against Wm. Preston, ar
gument in which was concluded in
ihe supreme court of the United
States today, is a suit which involves
the title to nearly 3,000 scpiarc miles
of land within the limits of what is
known as America's colony, situated
in Texa3 between the present city of
Dallas and the lndian territorj', along
th headwaters of the Red river.
Piersoii, appellee, represents a joint
stock company known as the Texas
association, and claims the lands in
eontrovcrsyunder contract n:ade jn
1S11 between the republic of Texas
and one Fenton Mercer, and he seeks
to retain the commission frm issu.-.
ing certificates lor these lands as if
they were part of the public domain,
and thus invading the vested rights
and clouding the title of the Texas
association. The land commissioner,
on the other hand, maintains that he
is acting in the line of his rightful
official p.j;vets for ilw reason that
the lands have been annexed by com
petent authority to lb. public do
main, anil are, therefore, under its
exclusive jurisdiction and control.
He appeals from the decision of the
court below. One ot the grounds
for appeal is that the colonization
contract of 1811 was void for uncou
stutionality and for fraud on the
part of the president, Sam Houston,
in making it.
