The terms of the treaty between the
I billed States and Mexico require both
nations to make a sincere and earnest ef
fort to “ettle the differences which may
arise, and to preserve the peace and
friendship existing between them. In
order to comply witli this treaty we must
fir-t understand fully all the facts in the
ease and then give to the position of each
government a patient and careful con
sideration.
The K.\<iitukk-Si x has endeavored to
ascertain the facts in relation to the Cut
ting case, and to lay them before its
readers, and now propose to consider the
claims of the Mexican authorities arising
from these fuels.
In the first place we do not understand
that Mexico claims the right to try a cit
izen of the United States for an act com
mitted in Ihe United Stages, in all eases,
nor does it claim that its own criminal
laws are of force in the United States.
Neither of these positions could for one
moment be allowed even if such a claim
were set up, because to do so would be
not only a .national disgrace, hut would
be to abandon our own citizens to the
uncontrolled jurisdiction of a foreign
Fi.ynn and Squire have employed Bob
Jngersoll to defend them. Mob was the
high priest of the star routers, and since
then the big rascals all over the conti
nent regard him us an ex-ollieio friend.
Boh lias a long tongue, and he hires it
out for a price.
Judge Cmsp lias been renominated
for the fiftieth congress by the democrats
of the third congressional district. This
was eminently proper, as he is a growing
man in congress and has already served
his district and state with marked dis
tinction.
The indications arc now more favora
ble to the nomination of Congressman
Hammond from the Atlanta district. He
lias secured the delegates from Campbell
county, and bis friends are hopeful that
be will secure enough votes in the doubt
ful counties to-day to secure his return
to the lillieth congress.
The grandest document Mr. Tilden
ever wrote was his will. It was a prince
ly combination of heart ami brain. He
lias loll his money to work for the public
good while he moulders in the dust. The
character of the Gramercy sage looms up
alter his death with a beauty that, some
how, we never discovered during his
life, much as we honored him. We never
prize the music till the sweet voiced bird
has flown. His completed career, taken
in its entirety, possesses a symmetry that
crowds hard upon the frontiers of per
fection. He was clay, but ho was the
kind out of which the potter nature
moulds vessels of honor. Tilden loved
-hie fellow-men, and dying he placed leg
acies in reserve for children whose fath
ers are yet unborn. They ought to write
on Tildeu’s tombstone, “He fought the
light and kept the faith.”
TIIK MACON LYNCHING.
We can hardly think of anything more
deplorable than the circumstance which
placed our neighboring city of Macon in
the hands of an infuriated mob. The
crime for which Moore paid the penalty
was one of the blackest in the criminal
calendar, and there is an unwritten law
which demands swift and certain exterm
ination of the class of fiends who would
thus mock and destroy society. But in
their less heated moments there arc those
who will feel keenly the hasty action of
this misguided mob. The law had not
been appealed to for a redress of the
great wrong committed; on the contrary
assurances were given that Moore should
have a speedy trial and steps hud been
already taken to that end. While we
have not the inclination to deter men
from protecting the fair women of our
land to I lie very fullest extent, it would
have been far preferable had the law-
been vindicated.
TIIK RASCALS MI ST (10.
President Cleveland seems to be getting
down to business, just as was predicted
by the Knoviueh-Svn when some of our
southern congressmen were giving hint
hail Columbia for liis tardiness. Collec
tor lb 'Men's head has fallen into the
basket and now we are told that Post
master Pearson must go! These are two
conspicuous instances of the right kind
of a civil service reform in New York.
Our own state furnishes a couple more
of the same sort. Collector Johnson, of
Savannah, has been decapitated and
Postmaster \\ ilson, of the same city, or
dered to walk the plank. It is strongly
intimated that other changes are contem
plated by which republicans will have to
give place to democrats.
Let the good work proceed. The presi
dent should get in some of his best licks
now while he has a fair showing in an
open field. It will take several redeem*
Thu claim actually made is that Mex
ico will protect her own citizens in cer
tain eases not only whilst within its own
jurisdiction, but even when they are
within jurisdiction of other states.
Such a cast! arises when a Mexican,
being in the state of Texas, a citizen of
that state, commits an act to the damage
of the Mexican, which act is a crime
both under the laws of Texas ami
Mexico, and when afterwards the person
committing this act either voluntarily
conies within the state of Mexico or is
surrendered by the authorities of Texas
for the purpose of being tried in Mexico.
It will he noticed that several circum
stances must be combined in order to
come within this proposition.
First, the act committed must consti
tute a crime in both countries; second,
it must be against a citizen of Mexico;
third, tliu party committing the act
either voluntarily places himself within
the reach, or the foreign state surrenders
Him upon demand to the Mexican au
thorities.
Whilst nothing is said about it, yet it
is as a matter of course implied that if the
person committing the act is tried in the
place where the act is done, then he will
not again be subject to trial in Mexico;
for no man can be put in jeopardy a sec
ond time for the same offense. So that
in fact the jurisdiction claimed is only to
be enforced when the authorities of the
place where the act is done either fail or
refuse to prosecute.
For instance, Mexico claims the right
to prosecute and punish Gutting because
he 1ms injured a Mexican citizen in the
state of Texas, and the act done is a
crime both in Texas and Mexico. He
has not been tried for it in Texas and
has voluntarily returned to Mexico. Thus
his ease comes clearly within the pro
visions of the laws of Mexico and from
their standpoint he is properly held to
answerfor his conduct. It may be said
that Mexico has not waited to see wheth
er the state of Texas would vindicate its
own laws, but the reply
would be Cutting actually resides in
Mexico, and after committing the act in
Texas he immediately returned to Mexi
co and so placed himself not only beyond
the reach of Texas, but actually within
the jurisdiction of Mexico. Now let ns
examine the claim of Mexico under these
circumstances to punish Cutting for his
offense.
In Wheaten’s Elements of International
Law the following propositions are laid
down:
“It is evident- that a state cannot pun
ish an offense against its municipal
laws committed within the territory of
another state, unless by its own citizens.
Nor enn it arrest the person or property
of the supposed offender within that ter
ritory ; but it may arrest its own citizens
in a place which is not within the juris
diction of any other nation, as the high
seas, and punish them for offenses com
mitted within such a place or within the
territory of a foreign state.”
Thus under the laws of nations it
would bo competent for Mexico to arrest
Cutting within its territory, and hold
him to answer for a violation of the laws
of Mexico committed within the terri
tory of Texas, providing Cutting was a
citizen of Mexico. Here Cutting was not
a citizen, but was actually a resident of
Mexico at the time lie committed the
act. It is true, as Mr. Bayard states,that
in the United Slates criminal offences
are considered as “altogether local, and
are jnsticahle only by the courts of that
country where the offence is committed.
But Wheaton goes on to say that “this
principle is peculiar to the jurisprudence
of Great Britain and the United States,
and even in these two countries it lias
been frequently disregarded by the posi
tive legislation of each in the enactment
of statutes under which offences com
mitted by a subject or citizen within the
mg acts of this kind to paliate the indig- . . . . ,
nityput upon the people of Dthe istrict hnnts ° f a f01 ' 01gn Htnte have been made
of Columbia by die reappointment of
Matthews. We must admit, however, of
all the communities that can now be re
called we would prefer that this one
should be the sufferer, as Washington is
largely republican, and it lias been their
policy and plan to humiliate the south
by just such appointments.
Any way, we are glad to see the presi
dent inaugurate this spirit of civil service
reform, and hope it will be continued
until all “the rascals will have to go."
punishable in the courts of that country
to which the party owes allegiance, and
whose laws lie is bound to obey.”
Mexico-has also disregarded this prin
ciple, not, however, in order to punish
its own subjects for actsdone in a foreign
nation, but to protect its citizens in a
foreign state when the authorities of such
foreign state do not punish the offender
and he comes within the jurisdiction of
Mexico. The difference in the two cases
is that Great Britain and the United
States claim the right to punish their
own citizens for acts done in a foreign
state, and Mexico claims the right to
punish those who commit crimes again-t
Her own citizens in a foreign state.
Under these circumstances it seems
clear to us that the United States by the
terms of tile treaty can not treat the
claims ol Mexico with contempt, but are
hound if it fails to come to an agreement,
to refer the differences to arbitration
rather than resort to force. This law
which Mexico now seeks to enforce was
in all probability upon the statute books
when the treaty was made, but if not,
I then it i*us been probably copied from
the laws of France and was enacted in
j good faith ns being within its legitimate
: |lowers.
For the United States to treat these
' laws ns a nullity and demand the Ullcoii-
| ditionul release of Cutting would he a
1 plain violation of the terms of the treaty,
and would be done, not so much
because we have the right, but
because we have the power to do so. It
would be the act of a bully and not that
of an enlightened republic. It is claimed
that similar laws exist in some of the
European states. If so, and this dispute
were with France or Germany, or even
with Italy, it is very clear to us that our
government would not resort to force,
and therefore we protest against such a
course with the feeble republic of Mex
ico, not only because she is weak, but
because she is nearest to us in situation
and form of government.
We do not mean to say that the prin
ciples contended for by Mexico nre right
in themselves, or that they are consistent
with the laws of nations, but only that
they are not so clearly wrong as to war
rant the United States in violating the
spirit if not the very words Of the treaty
with Mexico,and that it is a proper subject
for arbitration between the two nations,
if it is decided that such laws may exist,
then it will be for the United States to
decide whether the treaty will remain or
to declare it void unless such claims as
tli is are abandoned.

CLEVELAND’S
A VKNOMOIS SKltl’K.NT.
The ubiquitous semi-annual sea serpent
has made his appearance off Norfolk,
Virginia. A correspondent in describing
him says excitedly: “Its head resem
bled that of a horse, and, in addition, a
row of serrated protruberances orna
mented the upper portion of the head.
It was 130 feet long, of a dull gray color,
and after remaining on the surface five
minutes it disappeared, making, as it
went, a peculiar whistling noise, resem
bling the sound of escaping steam.”
If those Norfolk people dou’t switch
off' onto another brand, or else decrease
the number of times a day of taking it,
tiie consequences will be serious. Why
not try beer only for a few days until the
snake leaves. Virginia whisky was honest
whisky in the good old times, but under
the regime of Riddleberger and Malione
it has become a regular rendezvous of
dime museum snakes. A Columbus man
who spent last summer in the moun
tains of Virginia, and who used to catch
fish with a jug and pole, climbed a tree
one evening and called loudly for help.
His rescuing friends found him at last up
the tree pointing excitedly to an old worn
out, red saddle-girth that lay on the
ground and crying, “Kill it! kill it!” with
every brtnlli. The Virginia whisky
had put a head on him and the saddle-
girth both.
Norfolk is seeing snakes so big that
they frighten her, while Atlanta would
give half she is worth for the sight of a
reptile two inches long. Truly, this is a
discontented world.
It is generally conceded that the Bel
fast riots are the results of religious dif
ferences. Such are far from being the
facts. Protestants and Catholics dwell
together everywhere else in perfect har
mony, and we cannot be made to believe
that Protestants and Catholics are shoot
ing each other in the commercial capital
of Ireland on account of difference in
religious opinions. Time was when such
things were possible; when ‘‘for love of
God” men hated their fellow-men lite
rally “unto death,” and thought they
were doing the Heavily Father most ac
ceptable service by butchering in His
name their brethren and His children.
But that time lias gone—let us hope to
return no more. Not a gun is tired, not
a stone is thrown in Belfast on
account of the doctrine of
the real presence, of justifica
tion by faith, of the right of private judg
ment in religious matters, of the temporal
or spiritual supremacy of the pope, on
account of any or all of the innumerable
tilings which divide Rome from Geneva.
They would light just as bitterly if every
man, woman and child of them knelt at
the same communion table and received
the sacred elements from the same priest
or preacher; if the Bible had never been
translated from the original Hebrew and
Greek, and the mother of Jesus never
been elevated into the Mother of God; if
Luther and Calvin, Loyola and Loo had
never lived, and if, throughout the world,
there were lmt one Lord and one Savior,
one creed and one church.

New York, January 16, 1885.
I have, on several occasions during the past few years
and without the knowledge of the manufacturers, analyticEilly
examined cans of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING
POWDER purchased by myself in the markets, and I take
pleasure in recommending it to public favor as a baking
powder that can be relied upon for purity, wholesomeness
and strength, as I have never found it to be adulterated with
lime or to be impure in any sense whatever.
