Of course this is exceed inly kind iu the Teleprnph, Imt docs not editor Lou is pile it on rather thick? Tub ratio of bills which finally be ta me laws to tho number introduced in omjrress durinff a session is constantly • hvTeasinp:. During the session just flows] no less than 111,1101' bills ami joint resolutions were introduced—10,22s in the house and 207-1 in the senate. Of these less than 1000 were finally enacted. OftheOST new laws 7 hi originated in the nit: mkmco sm tTiox. Mr. Bayard made a formal demand upon Mexico for the release of Cutting based upon the report made to him by the United States consul at I’uso Del Norte. To this demand no definite answer lias been given, but ihc Mexican court has proceeded to try, convict and sen tence the prisoner. This looks as though Cutting would not be released at all, unless, us lias been suggested, the president intended to vindicate the law by a trial and then pardon the criminal jin deference to Ihc demand of the United -tales. j We cannot accept tills suggestion, be cause ii looks too much like child's play, both ujion the part of Mexico in granting ’ a pardon and the United States in accept ing this pardon under the circumstances ! as a compliance with ils demapd. I It is more reasonable to suppose that | there is some question as to the facts of Ihc case and that ueg->tiat!ons are con i'tinned in order to ascertain just what is ! the truth. Mr. Bayard acted upon the i assumption that Cutting was held only j to answer for acts done in tho United Slates, and lie expressed his opinions 1 very strongly against recognizing any such jurisdiction over American citizens. | If Mexico admitted this to lie the ease, then it would follow that either it must surrender such jurisdiction, ortlie United ! States must yield to its claim, ortlie rela- I lions between the two countries would j be interrupted. Further developments, j however, lead us to believe that our eon- I sul did not give a full and complete re- ■ port of tlie facts, and that the Mexican [ authorities are insisting upon their right to j hold Cutting, not because of acts done in I the United States, but also for his eon- 1 duct in Mexico. It appears that Cutting was the editor house and 2-11 in the senate. _ The presi j of ., in j.;, Tl . xas side if the river, and one Medina was editor dent vetoed 11,5 hills, of which 102 were private pension bills and b bills provid ing (or tlie erection of public buildings Hi- record of vetoes exceeds by four that of all his predecessors together. Only one vetoed bill passed notwithstanding his objections, and that was a private jniision bill in regard to the merits of which he lias been misled. One other, i but to quiet the title of settlers to lands on the J h s Moines river, passed in the senate, but failed in the house.

Fremont is whole matter Cutting lias acted badly, of another paper in I’aso Del Norte on the Mexican side. 1 'lining being a quar relsome, disagreeable man, very naturally got into a controversy with Medina, which culminated in a libelous article in Cutting's paper. Finding Cutting in Paso Del Norte, Medina commenced legal proceedings against him on account of this libel, which was settled by the par ties and a decree of the court, upon con dition that Cutting should publish a re traction of the libel in liis paper to be both in the Knglish and Spanish lan guage. (kitting went home and did publish the retraction in small type and in the Knglish language, but failed to publish it in Spann h. Not only did lie thus fail to comply with the decree of the court, but lie published in the same issue of his pa per an article more libelous than the first. Afterwards he went across the river into Mexico again, and it is charged that he actually distributed some copies of his paper containing the second libel, and whilst there lie Mas arrested and held to answer the first complaint. The court decided that under the hnvs of Mexico the settlement Mas void, and Cutting might not only be tried under the first charge, but Mas also guilty of a contempt of the court in failing to com ply with the decree.

The Ksiii'iiti:u-Si'x earnestly desires to give its readers the latest and most in- tcresling nou's that can be obtained. To this end the telegraph wires are freely used and that at a very heavy expense. It is extremely annoying, therefore, to be cheated out of news that would prove very interesting to our readers, bv the carelessness or inefficiency of the tele graph service. Such Mas the case in our Sunday morning’s issue. A telegram dated at UJ l’uso, Tex., and filed Satur day evening, Mas received at the Kx- iiiKii'Si x office at 10:20 o’clock Sunday morning. The telegram gave the Mexi can situation and the information of Cut ting’s sentence, also that the minute men Mere organizing preparatory for ion emergency. It is extremely morti fying to us that such an important dis patch should have thus been delayed. In this connection we desire to exone rate theolliee here from any blame in the matter. Tlie manager and the ope rators have alw ays treated the Kniii'iukr- >rs with the utmost consideration, and not uiifroijiieiitly holds the ollice open after the associated press lias closed that no may use the wires. A more accom modating ollice is not to lie found, but that the force is not sullicicnt for the Murk they have to perform is a matter over which they have no control. If wc desire to send or receive a message after 10 o’clock p. m., until the associated press matter is all in, it is only done by an act of cleverness upon the part of one of the operators. No and that he is utterly unworthy of the protection which he claims. War is a very serious thing, and should not lie de clared without great provocation, es pecially so when the parties in dispute are a weak republic on one side and a strong one on the other. Surely there is enough wisdom and moderation in the United States to avoid war with its neighbor. What could we gain by such a war? The disparity between the two countries in wealth, population and intelligence, is so great that they could not fight upon equal terms, nor with doubtful results. We could gain no glory by success, and we want neither the territory nor the people of Mexico to annex to ours. Granting Mexico to be haughty in action, quarrelsome in manner, and an noying in conduct, we can afibrd to bear with her infirmities. To be cool and de liberate under such provocation is no evidence ol'fear, but of moderation and conscious power. What is glibly called a "vigorous poli cy'' sounds well, and flatters our national vanity, but there is danger by acting vigorously that we may lie overbearing, if not unjust. The United States ought not to declare war with Mexico, nor do any act of violence which may drive her to war with us, except upon a clear case of wrong, and after exhausting every honorable effort at settlement. them, when the order for the goods was I given at once. A similar instance for KM) hales from New Orleans occurred,' I hut the mills were firm in their figures and hud no trouble in getting the order, which was made at once by telegraph. We are told by reliable authority that I the mills throughout the United States have not been so closely sold up for years. In the matter of print cloths the supply is 1,2110,000 pieces short of what it : was at this time last year. Knglmid is using 1 more cotton than ever before known and ; all American spindles are running on full time, yet the supply of plaids, shirtings and cotton goods generally is a great deal less than one year ago; in fact, it is hard ly sullicicnt to fill the demand for inuiie- : diutc deliveries. Yesterday W" had a long talk with one : of the conn, ereial travelers for the Fugle and I’henix mills, who has just returned from an extended tour through Georgia j and the ('amlinas. He tells us that his j j trip was a successful one from a business j j standpoint, and though he received no j 1 very large orders, the aggregate made a j ; favorable comparison with former sea sons. As one instance, he sold 1701) pieces of woolen jeans last year and on j his recent trip exceeded tHat number by ; j fifty pieces. Ii seems to lie the general rule that j ■ merchants are buying small hills, in re placing their stocks, and sales are made j the same wav. When the aggregate is, ! made, however, the footing is usually I larger than for the same period last year, i i There is a constant flow of trade and the j I indications are of a most healthful char-I ! actor. This is all the more encouraging j when it is taken into consideration that ■ ' this is the beginning of the fall trade. There is an unmistakable outlook for an advance in prices of staple goods and the situation is a healthful one. This is a condition of things much to he preferred to a I loom. i John Iti sKix i.- now declared, oil the ■ authority of some remarks by his physi- 1 eian, to he insane for the fifth time. Per- : haps this is the kind of insanity that | many others would gladly lie infected with—the power of getting people to at tend to his remarks on every subject, however trilling. Beginning with art he preached a new and strange doctrine un til he converted half of the Knglish speaking world to his ideas. lie then turned to political economy, lmt with less success, though everybody gladly read •whutever he chose to print. In his later days he took up the labor question, on which he propounded some very whimsi cal theories. I-us-t of all lie lias been pub lishing autobiographical sketches of the greatest interest, which he intersperses with moralizing on every possible subject. If lieis mad there is certainly method ip his madness. 1 Ex-Gov. John C. Bihuvx, of Tennessee, receiver of the Texas and Pacific rail- j road, was in Pittsburg Sunday. In an in terview lie said railroad building was he- I ing actively prosecuted in the southwest! this year for two reasons—one is the business of the road demands extensions and improvements, and the other is steel rails and material for road building and betterments are so cheap that it will pay better to attend to it now than a year hence. Mr. Brown says he is Inlying the steel rails for his extensions from Fng- laiul. He pays $17 a ton duty, and in 400 ton lots gets his rails from .50 cents to $1 a ton cheaper than he can get them in this country. Air. Brown says the tariff should he lowered on steel rails, for the reason that "it is not right to ask the great roads of the country to pay such fancy prices for an article that only a few men are interested in producing.

Those who have seen her will doubtless claim that she cannot be u very broad issue. Perhaps, alter all, it is more reasonable lo call her a hone of conten tion.
