{ WAIL FROM TEXAS, Werald Special Report from Brownsville. A Federal Jury in Judgment on the Robber Cortina’ and His Band. THE REIGN OF TERROR. Mexican Officials Legalizing Theft and Murder in Texas. REVENUE OFFICERS KILLED. Juarez’s Refusal to Remove Cortina. THE CRY FOR PROTECTION. TELEGRAM 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD. ‘The Heraxp correspondent in Brownsville has forwarded us the following special de- epatch :— Brownsvitiz, Texas, March 26, 1872, The United States District Court, Judge Morrell presiding, being the first federal Court held here for several years, has concluded its session, The Grand Jury indicted the Mexican gen- eral, Cortina, for levying war against the United States, and made a presentment of the facta of armed bands of Mexican raiders steal- ing cattle on the Texas border, for the pur- pose of securing protection from the United States government, THE CHARGES, The presentment states that it is proven there has existed since the year 1865 a depre- datory war on the frontier, waged by an organized band in Mexico, acting under a Mexican general and commanded by officers of the Mexican army. The Mexican officials— civil and military—have taken part in these ‘hostile operations, and by their acts legalized murder and robbery. ‘ A reign of terror exists between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, The informers -are threatened with the penalty of death, so no names of the witnesses have been made pub- lic, The Mexican markets are open for the sale of stolen cattle, and the tax on them is regularly and knowingly levied by the au- thorities, OORTINA’S MISDEEDS, The presentment then refers to the appoint- ment of Cortina as an officer of high rank in the Mexican army, which has been an encour- agement for murder, theft and treason in general, Cortina has levied war on the United States, murdered citizens and soldiers and robbed mails. President Juarez has been petitioned to remove him, but he has refused to comply with the request. It is fur- ther stated that Cortina’s command are always mounted on stolen horses. The evidence shows that since the close of the American civil war, on an average, 5,000 cattle have been stolen monthly, the value of whioh is estimated at $6,300,000, not in- cluding the depredations committed by the Kickapoo Iudians, who are Mexican citizens, REVENUE OFFICERS MURDERED. The Revenue Inspectors Dapont, Ham- mond, Phelps and McLaughlin have during that period been killed by the bandits, Others have been assaulied and detained as prison- ers. Indeed, all the revenue inspectors along the border are in great peril of their lives, The presentment further states that the inhabitants have for years suffered all the horrors of war without the security of its civilized usages. It suggests the necessity of stationing an efficient force of United States cavalry on the border as the ouly remedy for these evils. . THE PRESENIMENT ENDORSED. Judge Morrell and General McCook fully endorse the statements of the presentment. The former has addressed a communication to the Senators of Texas reiterating these facts and asking for relief, while the latter has made an official report to the United States govern- ment in support of the proposed measure, There have been a number of convictions for smaggling and for violations of the Inter- nal Revenue laws, Judge Morrell exercised clemency in sentencing the offenders, as the federal laws on the Mexican border had been neglected so long that such crimes, by com- parison to the depredations of the Mexican raiders, had come to be regarded as venial. He warned them, however, that hereafter the laws would be rigidly enforced.

All the origi- nal contracts made with the Navy Department are in the Treasury Department, and therefore the call should be made on we Secretary of the Treasury. Bartlett said he had simply Wageries that copies of the contracts, with names of certain persons be furnished. Secretary Robeson remarked, betore he breught papers here he wanted to know whether it Was at the request of the committee and not at the request Of any particuiar persou. He haa also been requested to produce reports of officers appointer to examine into claims founded on contracts from Maren 2, 1867, covering ail the transactions for the last five years. He should preter to bring copies of the papers. If the originals were brought here he must be sure into whose hands they would go. Blair sald he understood the committee directed hin to receive the names of witnesses, and character of the evidence desired by Mr. Dana. On that supposition he had written lett@s requesting the production of the papers. That was ali he supposed he was authorized by the Committee to do. Secretary Rowkson remarked that it was imposst- bie to nave them here to-night. -~ Mr. Bartlett said that in asking for copies of contracts, &c., he did not think he would be met with technicalities, He wanted certain papers, but did not know the precise source they were to come from. He had asked for the papers in a general way, and should like to know how svon they coula be procured, Secretary Ropeson asked whether the com- mittee considered Lis remarks as technical.

The great murder sensation ia about to be re» vived, Mrs, Josephine A, McCarthy nag been in- diced for the murder of Henry #. Hall, and today was set dowm for tho trial. The melancholy circumstances surrourtting this case being of such character that the eutire county 1s excited; and the gossips have not ceased to praise the murdered man for acts which would be treated as unworthy of remark in many other instances, while the weman has gained @ notoriety that few appear to envy. Mrs. McCarthy may have been grossly misrepresented In many respects touching matters outside the mur- der, and probably her own version of affairs can- not be taken for gospel; but tt 1s clear she intended to Kill the man on whom she charges the greatest misfortunes of her life, and not his friend Henry Hall, who was unfortunate enough to receive the ball from McCarthy's pistol. A RESUMB OF THE MURDER, As the nratter is likely to be one of the must Im- portant aliecting our pent up city, a brief resumé Will not be out Of place, On the morning of the 17th of January last, about ten o'clock, Milton H, Tuomp- son, & weil-known insurance agent of Uuca, entered @ street car, in company with his nephew, Henry H, Hall, of Ogdenspurg. A few minutes later the car baited, in respouse to the signal of a tall, portly lady, | who was heavily velled, The female seated herself immediately opposite Thomson. She was observed to lean forward and adaress him, and seems tohave been disappointed and Lacensed at the reply. She made a quick, sharp gesture of distress, and a mo- ment later sprang to her feet, presented a revoiver at Thomson’s head and fired, The ball entered his right cheek, passing thence out through one of the nostrils and finding lodgment in the heart of Henry 4H. Hall, who occupled a@ seat by the side of Thomson. The woman,- quick as thought, stepped to the | rear of the car, opened the door aud sprang trom the platiorm without opposition, Tnomson, be- eving himselt to be fatally wounded, asked tnat bis wile be immediately sent for, An occupant of the car who was supporting Thomson’s head observed tual young Hali’s body was resting in an unnatue | ral position against the end of the car, He spoke to him, but the sound entered the ears of | the dead, The announvement of Hall’s deata created & greater panic among the already terrified pas- sengers, and it Was not until the car had reacned the city that the conductor gamned suflictent sell-possession to ring to @ standstill, ‘ihe mur- dered man was removed to the Butterfield House. Thompson signified his wish to be assisted to his Oilice, Where physicians subseuuently attended him, His 1njuries, aithougn paimtul, are not dangeruus, ‘THE WOMAN WALKED QUIETLY down Genesee street, directly in the rear of the car she had just left, At the City Hall, where Intelligence of her crime bad preceded _ her, she was arrested by Officer Supple. She offered no opposition, and until three o'clock Was not aware that she had Killed young Hall and had not kided her intended vicum, She swears that Lhomson rained her, and after securing her confidence to a degree where she entrusted him with all her funds took advantage of her by loreviusing a mortgage, which leaves her and her three children homeless ana penniless. She claims that Thomson 1s the fatuer of her childrea, ‘The iriends of this gentleman say that the woman 1s one of the most desperately vicious bDiackmatiers im the country.

Judge Doolittle delivered a snort charge of the usual couimonpiace nature, and the Grand Jury While the Judge Was speaking Mrs, McCarty entered the court room and assumed a seat near her counsel She appeared pale and shighuy languid, wearing the same costume which she wore on the day of the homicide, ‘The roll of the petit jurors was then cailed.

I caused the arn 2 ¥& of the alde-de-camp of an American general, wha 3 movements appeared to me suspicious, It 1a cet tain that spying was carried on; nearly always th te enemy was informed of our Latentions, ‘The 2iat > Octover the enewy Was aivacked at Malmatson, ba ‘6 he was found realy.

However, as Mr. Washburne intervened, he was released; but I stilky had my doupts. This was the only fact,. That Mr, Wasnburne was tn relauon with the Gere" mans 1s certam, for he represented them tn Parts; that culpable complaisances were bora of this I suspected, but | had no prools, Such is the reference made to the Amertcan Min- ister by & man only recently in the Cabinet and ina document published by the Assembly and distributed asan oficial paper on the tavies of the Deputies, The story of the member as to tae payment of the Prussian spies, it need scarcely be said, 18 here- heard for the first ume by everybody olse as well as by M.

Ordinarily questions asked in this document veae the name of the member who makes tie inquiry, but when, instead of the name, there ts put, aa im thia case, the words “a member of the commls> sion” the questioner is one of those snGAaks 8 colmmon in pubic Life In France, Who like lo deliver ablow only when perfectly sure wat they Gai re- ceive no return, It will Suiticientyy indicate what *Freach Mints~ ' ter’s brains are when we flud a distinguisaed meme | ber of the government of National Defence gravely assuming that because the Prussians were “ready” at Malmaison, therefore they musk / have been informed by spies chat the Freucn were coming.

He belleved, maybe, what ue had read of the French in the iltue history books, But what shail be said of the direct allusion of Fayre to Mr. Washvurae?
