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. Dr. Mill, Ills Dmriiiiil Chenist, CERTIFIES TO THE muni mum 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.
