The amount of bond In each case was the same as the amount of flne imposed upon the accused by Magistrate Supplee While the raid upon the Jackson City place was devoid of sensational features, it has attracted considerable attention, and has been the subject of some discussion, Toth In this city and Washington As stated yesterday.

Sheriff Palmer did not participate in the raid It Is said that he and Collins had been directed to meet Mr Mackey at the latter's office in Washington at a certain hour, and were there ahead of time, but, it is said, Mr Mackey had left, and when the sheriff and his deputy reached Jackson City the raid had been made and the trial of the accused was in progress It is also said that Nelson and his associates were aware that a. raid would be made Wednesday afternoon, and had stationed a man at the electric railway station in Washington to warn their regular patrons of the fact, which probably accounts for. the small number of people in the building when the officers arrived. Will Appeal Their Cases. The fact that Nelson" and his associates have decided to appeal the case strengthens the statement made yesterday that the contention would probably be made that Jackson City la located on territory that teally belongs to the District of Columbia, and a man who Is closely identified with the sporting fraternity in Washington has intimated that such will be the defense.

A prominent attorney of this city who has given this question considerable attention said, when asked for his opinion jesterday: "The question as to who has jurisdiction over Holmes' or Alexander Island has been practically settled in the case of Robert A Phillips vs Charles W. Payne, leported In 82 pase 130. "In that A Phillips was a resident and taxpayer of Alexandria County, and was a property owner, and as such was assessed with taxes by the State of, Virginia Phillips paid the taxes, amount- Ing to $165 18, undei protest, and afterward instituted suit to recover payment, Ing that the same had been made under compulsion "The Supreme Court held that as the State of Virginia had exercised jurisdiction and authority ovei the territory know as Alexandria County since 1846, the time when It was retroceded to Vir- grinia. by the Congress of the United States It was certainly a government de facto, in firm possession of the teiritorv clothed, while it existed, with the samp rights, powers, and duties as a govern- de i Diuine all this time, that Is, since 1846, Virginia had exercised jurisdiction ovei the territory in all respects as before it was ceded to the United States The State of Virginia does not complain of the retrocession The political departments of her government, by theii conduct, have umfoimly asserted her t.tle, and the head of her judicial department has expressly affirmed It. No Dissent Is "The United States has not objected And no murmur of! dissent has been heard trom either of them, but, on the con- trarv, the possession of Virginia has been acquiesced in by the United States, and both parties to the transaction have been, and still are, entirely satisfied No person, under the circumstances, can vicariously raise the question, nor force upon the parties to the compact an issua which neither of them desires to make That is.

as long as the State of Virginia and the United States are satisfied with the present condition of affairs and government of Alexandria County, no person can be heard to dispute the right of Virginia to govern this territory." It is known that this opinion is not shared by some attorneys. Nelson and La Fontaine have retained Attorneys er Brumback, who have offices ib. this city and Fairfax Court House. John Dogan, a negro, who js a frequent patron of the Police Court, was arraigned yesterday on an old warrant charging him with disorderly conduct and for a moie recent offense, ihe larceny of a set of harness from Eli Dove's stable Dogan alleged to have committed the theft while Policemen Mayhugh and Lyles dogging his steps for the purpose of arresting him for the first-mentioned offense They finally found him asleep near Colross and locked him up He was fined J50, and in default of payment will spend ninety days in the city jail.
