TBS CSBTkai AMERICAN CONFEDERATION. Another thing which palate to each a re sult of the pending trouble Is In the ru. mored negotiations for alliance with Mexico and th« several Central American republics. It hu become generally known .that the preeldent and cx president of tho Cootrsl American states of s.lvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Coata Rica and tlautemale, have been negotlatieg for such au ailiaaca and an new in tho City ef Mexloo for inch e purpose. It is arid that tho plan is for a “cion Of than Mateo into one confederation with the ultimate tIow of annexation to Motive.

THE OUTRAGE COMPLETE. Cutting Sentenced la the I’enUenttary for One Tear and Heavily h'laed.

( it v or Mexico, August 0.—It is tunoanc- cd here, on good authority, that United States M (nlstcr Jackson hu resigned, buttfast Secre tary Jlsyard has not yet accepted his resigna tion. It Is said that Minister Jackson's resig nation has no connection with tho recent bor der troubles, u It wee filed in June last. Min ister Jackson hu had tho confidence and re spect of thoMexlcsn government and Ameri can residents of Mexico. » Jackson's Resignation Not Received. Washi.w.ton, August 8.—Secretary Bayard said tonight that he bed not received the res ignation ol Mr. Jackson, minister to Mexico, tad there mu nothing now In tho Cutting case since tho dispatch received yesterday from the United States consul, notifying him of tho prisoner’s sentence. What secretary Bayard Inyo. Wahhnoton, August 8.—[Special,]—Now that Catting hu been found gailty end sentenced (by n Mexican court, the people naturally Inquire of the United States gov ernment: “What ere yon going to do about it?" The future course of the state deportment la the subject of various conjectures. Secretary Bayard Is not disputed to glvo his programme to the public. Referring to the matter last night he said: "There nre no new developments in the diplomatic correspondence with Mexico about the strut slid imprisonment of Catting.” lie raid ho had received no now communi cation recently, and so could not oommsni- cate anything to the press. He remarked, in a significant nay, that the correspondence which wu transmitted to tho senate by the president n few day* ago contained more than seemed to hava boon ta ken cut of It in tho confusion and hurry of the closing bouts of the session. Whan uked If ho bed renewed the original demand for the release of Cutting, Hr. Bayard replied: “I should not like to disease tho matter on that heel a.” Tho staretary, of course, wu not inclined to talk much for publication about e matter •hue involving very direct International rela tions, but hia sematka Were significant, and biatone and manner so leu significant than his words. TIIC CASE DISCUSSED. The l’-eRtmore Sun of this morning tlyt: "Tlie Mexican code glrea or undertakes to give, to Mexican courts tho authority to try Amoitson citizen* for acts committed beyond the Jurisdiction if thorn courts on American soil. Tbla authority may not bo often exercised, bat Its cxlsicnco le • constant menace to tho rights of the cMtseni of a neighboring and friendly country. It may bo, and no doubt has been,used to tho aa nor an co and hurt of A mertoana traveling or nttdtni in Mexico. To ask Urs extradition of an oSsodet upoo tho basis of proofs that ha hu really committed tho ofibnie alleged agaloit him le ona thing, to say nothing to the accused of tho charge, and thin, when he hu come within roach, to I ounce upon him and try hfiu on exparte testi mony Isa very dllTeient thing. Mexican Justice ts a poor altktr at best, es many of our peoplo who have traveled In Mexico hare loomed to their lorrotr. It Is extremely detlrabto that tbo occa sion of Its application to them may not bo unduly multiplied. In this view, and In pursuance of bli well known disposition toprntcct to the utmost the rlehts of Americans traveling or entagod In ttade In roroltn countries, Secretary Bayard hu decltted to admit the pretensions of a Moxlean court to try Cutting for an oll'enae committed In Texes, and hu demandod hie n-leare. In rase his release Is not conceded, the retirement of our minister from the Mexican capi tal, and a rupture of friendly relations with Moxl- co would setm, In the present condition of affairs, to be the natural aeqticnco,though the probability of any such result ts extremely slight. As regtrds the Cutting Incident, the conclusion may ho ex pected lo be entirely In the line of Secretary Bay fsnJM - desires, now that the esse he. passed out of the local court sod Into the buds of the Moxlcen federal authorities. Tiro dslsy la acceding to kte de mand hu, It Is probable, been wholly doe to tho necessity tbo Mexican executive wu under of awaiting a judicial determination of Cutting's cast. That ones obtained, Mexican diplomacy may he supposed to ba equal to the task of accept ing the inevitable gracefully. K, If. R. Kcbcto Rubio. It showed that tho state au thorities of Chlhnahno hod e can in treating Cutting with even some than the president necessary, for U thought it wee tieoi Umax he would gnat a Mexican citizen imprisoned under the tune charset. IDo yep consider, Mir. President; that the case wiu lead to troaHef” *T have no apprehension of dURenltiee growing out of taeh an Insignificant affair, which ii really only a quarrel between two dlsrvpotable jeumaliato. I think that tbo United (states government wax a trifle hasty In the matter, owing proba bly to early and inteenrato and one-elded reports. I hove no-donbt- that the full explanation already forwarded to tho American congress, an enlightened body am- fifniac many excellent lawyers and accent- flit bid statesmen, will lead to a calmer con sideration of tha matter and that justice will be done.” The president then went on, et ranch length, to relate voriona cases occurring on tho bo.der line of tha two republics, to show how careful both governments should bo not to act too hastily and on insufficient evidence. .'There is,”, said tho proatdeat, "a elan of both Mexicans and Americans on tho border who, oftar getting Into tronblo with tha low, plead their alUxenahip to shield them from tbo punishment they deserve.” The president also mentioned the Cntwford cate, where tbo Investigation mode by hie good friend, Genera) Sheridan, always ani mated by kindly lentfmenta towards Mexloo, S aved that tho shooting wu o result of n misunderstand ing on tho part of Mexican troops. He slso mentioned several cases In which ha had personally geno further than wu ataalntaty necessary in order to ovoid unpleasant differ ences with the United States government. The president said ho deplored the tone of o certain section of both tho American and Mexican press, adding: “Our government la certainly acting (n good faith in this mutter, being only dearoa* ef having justice -lone. It is a matter for calm consideration eu the part of the two govern ments, nninfiuvnced by popular clamor.” He said that it wu ridiculous to suppose, u had keen charged in some newspapers, that the United States government wu msklog a pretext of tho Cutting cue to en ter on war, for tHe United Statee would not do eo without having first got in rotdineu. The president did not believe that tho American peoplo wore hostile to Mexico; on tha contisry. bo had found tho best class of Americans in ooidlai sympathy with the pro- gruslve purposes of his administration. Ho sincerely hoped that nothing would occur to martbofrlindahlpof tbo two peoples living under the name farm of government and ani mated by kindly ventimeau towards each other. He wu glad to be oblo to present hie views in this matter to the American people. Boring the entlro Interview the Mexican statesmen expressed themselves with tbo ut most moderation end good sense. A Mexican Minister's Opinion. • Paris, August 7.—The Mexican minister here hu sent a communication to the pspara tn which be aa/s that a conflict will not onto between Mexico and the United Statee In con nection with tha Cutting affair. HO ooacludee with the statement that Mexico is perfectly tranquil. VOICE OF THE PRESS. An Interview With I'realdeut Hint. City or Mxxicxi, via tlalveston, August J.—Popular sentiment hu hoen to thoroughly around here over Editor Cutting's out. sol pitu comments thereon, that a repretrotative of tho associated prrsi ceiled todsy et the i-sstle ofChepultepec to get the vlesvs of Presi dent Plar. end Honor Ramiro Rubio, minister of the interior, who is vlsltlug at the cattle. The latter said that ho wu happy to pnoent the facte in tha <»te to th>- press and entered at once late a very ftoli review of it from the beginning. Ho stated Cutting's offense, his character and that of Senor Mcndlna, and went Into an elaborate explanation of Mexico's right to ar- test Cutting from a legal point of view. Cut ting, mid the minister, having been com manded bv - ourt to moke apology, did so In an El l'rso newspaper, but worded it to aa to make ; really an insult to the court. This newspti-r, although pnblished iu tho United (teeter.

He was, therefore, an rated in proper legal form ana put in jail. He wu troateu with even more consiueration than Mexican criminals. The minister wu asked if he thought the judge had acted in good frith. Ba replied: I do, and for that very reason, the execu tive lower here could nofion the demand from the United States government set aside the j allele! power. The government hero con sidered thatCutUngkad not only infringed the cede of itate of Chi huahun, which makes eflbntcs sgale-t its • Wrens committed on for eign territory punishable by its court, but had also committed an offense on this aide of tho line by refuting, without giving any reason, to iscognlao the demand of the lodge, using (mulling language to that official, and U wu clear that tha drenlollng of a statement de rogatory to a court oo this side of tho nver, constituted a clear cose of offimae tgilnst tho law.” "Tlisn it is for thru reasons that yon have refuted to grant nn unconditional release.-'’ “\ee, The government hen hu fotvraided a very full report of the rose to Washington, where it has been submitted to congress.” l’tdidriit 111a/ then entered the apartment, and expressed gtatlfirotiou at meeting a rep resentative of the amo elated pram of the Lot ted States, end extended n cordial greeting. The president arid: "I presume yon have had from Minister Romero Rnhio a full explanation ef tha rose, •ad an kbttrort of the ground- foe our action and I will only any that I have last repaired n letter from the chtafjuatiea of the state of aihothta giving a rename at the procaodura of the opart u rotpeata to my reaneeL” The letter was then road in full by Staer Tlia Sentiment of tho Country aa Expressed By tho Proas. Wishing to present tho view of the repre sentative American press in the pending trou ble between tbe United States and Mexico, The Constitution Saturday telegraphed tho editors of the following representative jour nals, covering overy section of the country, requesting them to wire their opinion u t#the merits of tbe controvemy. These views are frilly presented in the telegrams below. 4 As will be seen, there is bnt little diversity of opinion u tha urgency of the adnilnietro. ion's adopting a decided foreign policy. With bntftw exceptions, these opinions are forcibly txpressed’ra favor of inch procedure as will enforce the demand of tbe secretary of state. As will bo observed, of throe oplntoni are based on the Idea that Cutting would bo released by tho Mexican authorities, end thinking that that govarnmont would adopt a conciliatory policy, in granting his ralease, the pursuance of o similar course la dearned advisable for this government. Others, thinking that Catting laid himtalf liable to Mexican law, nold that the United States should not hive interested Itself in the matter ftirthar than to hare aeon that tbe prisoner obtained a fair trill. The opinions presented below are baaed on the itetns of tho controversy np to lut night Since they were reeelvcd the afikir has as sumed a decidedly different and more threat* onlng upect. 1. Mexican troops have been stationed along tha Rio Grande. S. Catting has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the penitentiary end a fine of MOO. 3. It is reported that anticipating ait at tempt at forcible relief, tbo prisoner wu rushed to the penitentiary lut night to begin bia term of imprisonment. it wu probably through knowledge of what thisientonc* would l-e and of the determina tion to see it enforerd that tha Mexican au thoritira begun in advance to establish Itecsr- don of soldiers along the Rio tlrande. The press, speaking from Saturday morning's more peaceful upset of tho qnaa lion, expresses itself u follows: Tbs New York Suu.

Ona man, clearly a vagabond and dis reputable person, fails into trouble in Mexico through hi* own misconduct, and Instantly, bo* lore even there has been time for a thorough in quiry into tbe circumstances of the case, Mr. Bay* ard Imperiously demands his immediate release. Certainly, consideridg Ms own recent utter ances, Mr. Bayard should have been less imper ative. Considering his very great patience with tbe Canadian outrages, he should have been more patient with our weak but friendly slater republic. The Texaa brethren will be patient, we hope, War is an orderly proceeding-thread and not tbe beginning, among civilligd nations, of long nego tiations, which in this case have but just opened. Moreover, a war with Mexico would Involve the expenditure of a great deal of money, and the country at large, which would have to pay the bills, haa a right to say whether It wants war. Un authorised war is a grave criminal off*use, for which men have been tried and imprisoned, and' even banged by thecoorta of tbalr own country. It would be a morUtying circumstance if the ardor of tbe Texans (to pomeseftlm Naboths' vineyard across tbe Rio Grande should lead them to acts compelling tbe use of United states troops against them and not against the men they art so eager to right. The Hen York Times VOZe SOT THINK THAT CUTTING HAH RK» ceived iirjvaricM, ■ New Yobk, August 7.—[8peclal.]—There should be no opccfal difficulty in tbe withdrawal of our demand for the surrender of Cutting. It appears that tbe secrctaif of state wu misled into making the demand by tho official report of the case *ent to him by our consul at Paso del Norte. Mr. Brigham may have t*een, m turn, deceived by Cutting. If the den and should be promptly with drawn, no harm would ensue—not even if tho rcughs acd criminals on tho .Mexican sldo should declare that the United States bad backed down on account of terror Inspired in them by Mexico. Onr governmem might, perhaps, sea to It that Cutting was provided with connaoi, but in this re spect he *cems to have been very well served as it ia. In fact, the wholo proceeding to court, as it is reported, ►cents to have been orderly and dignified, and there is uo evidence of any othor intention on the part of the court than to admtnts ter justice. It ia possibie^that fnMew of the Inter- ternational asjKsctsof thocaie.tho Mexican Judgo will te moved to impose a lighter penalty than ho would Infllet if Cutting were a Mexican, though wo cannot demand that he shall do so. In this way Cutting may derive some benefit from his American citizenship. Whatever benefit he got* from It will be more than ha daaervaa. He is per sonally entitled to no more consideration than If be . bad been running stolen horses from Mex ico into Texas, and having been caugbtoo bia re turn to steel more, had wrapped himself In the American fisg and called on bis government - for protection. The Baltimore American. AMERICAN COURTS ALONE CAW TRY AMERICAN SOIL. Baltimore, Md, August 7.—[Special.]— Cutting has been found guilty, and will probably receive a heavy sentence, and Immediately alter- ward receive tbe pardeo of tbe Mexican president. This appears to be the programme, but tbo United States cannot accept such an evasion of tbe point Tbe point la that Catting, an American citizen, is arrested on the charge of a misdemeanor commit ted In tbo United States. There ia no dispato aiiout the jurisdictional fheis in this case. Tbe of fense of Cutting waa a misdemeanor under our law an well a* under Mexican law. It consisted In pub lishing a libel. This libel wu printed in an Ameri can city and in the English langnago, although iu object waa to Injure a citizen ol Mexico. Tbe citizen of Mexico might have sought redress in I our courts, but it cannot be admitted that- be can l capture the American on tho Mexican aide of tho frontier and try him In a Mexican coart. Amerl can courts only have jurisdiction In violation of law occnmngon American soil, and no oonoesslon can poaMbly be made of American sovereignty in th la particular. To try Cutting, find him guilty, sentence and then pardon him will uot bo a satis factory settlement. If the United State* accept* a pardon it will bo an admission of tho right or Mex ico to try *Ld sentence. If she can try and pardon, sic may try and execute tomorrow Nothing short of a disavowal of this claim by Mex ico will be a settlement that America can accept secretary Kayatd has never conceded this claim to Mexico, hut has carefully made explicit denial of it at every stage of tha proceedings. If a few rein forcements were to be sent to Fort Bliss, preoared to back up this demand by prompt action, the so lution of the difficulty would be very much has tened. The matter has now reached a point that admits of no trifling. The Chicago Tribune think* arm a war would me ix the ixtkrbst or AMERICAN BLACKOl ARDISM. Chicago, HI., August 7.—[Special.]—The most complete answer to Bayard'a assertion that Cutting’* offense was committed “wholly upon American soil” J» found in the notion of the Max* lean court in pronouncing the Amcrlsan culprit guilty. Tbe Mexican government bat attempted merely to enforce Its laws against an offender who bed abused Urn lenity previously shown him. Tbe United Slate* can hardly afford the dUgraoo of compelling Mexico to make a lawful, righteous act simply because »ha la an inferior power. Mexloo ba* nothing for which te apologize, and she should keep Cutting where he belongs. Bayard should proceed on his own initiative and responsibility, as the state department baa ample power to extend the protection of tho government to persecuted citizens abroad. Ou tbo state of facts presented by ITeildent Diaz, end oply Indirectly and evasively dinted by Bayard, Mexico hu a perfect right to the custody of Uniting. Cutting has shown him self a licentious ItbcSvr and a craven trickster, who mod tbe protection of American citizenship white seeking to violate tho law* of Mexico, end it la time for Mr. Bayeul to ceaso ills extraordi nary mUreprewutations of the case. We fall to sec anything in the final judgment or tho Mexican court which will authorise any complaint on the part of Secretary' Bayard, unleu he i* determined tosaalc Amtrli sti blackguardism more rcspecu- blc abroad than at home. Tbe Austin Statesman « AST* VINDICATION EITHER BY PEACE OR WAR. Austin, Texas, August 7.—[Special.]—Tho United Statee government has been insulted, and Mexico still has Immunity. The positive demand of a great nation presuppose* full consideration, •«1 unswerving determination, nations being held more responsible thau Individuals, while no al lowance is made for mistake*, but the deed goes for what it is wcitb. The United States govern ment may hare been hasty In acting, but now stands committed before tbe world to theenforce- mentof its positive demand upon Mexico for the release or Cutting. Aa Bayard properly says, the character of Cutting docs not figure In the case. The demand ha* been made and ba* been rcfoacd. Tbe cry Is not for war, but for vindication and in demnity. Texas, who suffers most along her un protected border of a thousand mile*, will not al low the mere mercenary appeal for peace, coaiug from men peculiarly luterevtcd in Mexico and her landa, to dull tbe ear of honor and justice at Washington. Texas Is as peacefully inclined a state as can be cund in the naion, bnt she can't be trampled on. She could not recklemly call down tbe horrors of a bloody war, but she would not purchase peace at the price of honor. This delay at Washington it men hurtful. Insolent Mexico i* marshalling her treops under the very shadow of our fort. Texas positively Insist* that Bayard shall at once enforce his demand on Mexico, and peaceably if pomtble, but let him culoroe. The New Orleans Picayune. UNITED STATE* TROOps ailOULD HAVE fi ROWED THE RIO GRAND BEFORE NOW. New Orleans Auguat 7.—[Special.}—On the Mexican ^nestion the Picayune ba* spoken as follow*: “it is our opinion that a force of Amer lean troop* should have been marched over tbe frontier before the second demand for tbe surren der of Cutting. If tbe regular army could not sup ply them then tha few gulf states couWl have been Riled upon to fornisb all Utt volnnteerv derived for such a contest, and they would make short work of tbe mission. The American name and tag kse beta me* gromly insulted, and reparation i refused, on tbe iiatuzutn: ol o it national sacra* tasy of stated and if there It to be any peace on our frontier tbe repre r ent*!iv^reogbt‘.o act offensively.

The murder of futures, ono of the most brut* ever inflicted oo a citizen of one country by an offi cial of another if sneeriugly called the killing of a hone thief. Well, that is tbe alleged offense for which be wa* extradited, but no proof hu been made and another American citizen Is reported murdered by tbe same official and ills of no conse- QDMjce whether the men were guilty of any thing or not. If a suoject ol Great Britain were killed In such away, there would be heavy indemnity ex acted instantly. King Theodore, of Abyssinia, imprisoned the Britich consul and other Kugllsh- men, and thirty-two thousand men were sent to take them out of prison. There ia not a frontier of any of England's possessions k> savage, that such a state of things is tolerated on it, as exists on our Kio Grande frontier, year after year. The Globe-Democrat. WE Wli.L HAVE TROUBLE WITH MEXICO, WHETHER OVER CUTTING OB OTHERWISE. St. Lora, Aoguit 7.—[Special]—The Globe- Democrat hu Inserted,►lace the arrest of Catting, that it was the duty of the United Bute* govern ment to demand his release, and that oongress ought not to hare adjourned without taking a positive stand and giving tbe president su ch as surance of support a* would here warranted flint inputting tbe demand in such shape tbatitsro- fusel would only be fnterprated as an act of hos tility towards the United state*. The conduct of Mexico thus far ha* been very Insulting towards the United States. The pardon for Cutting, which Is already In existence, does not mend the matter at all. but carries tbe case to extremes, so far as Mexico Is concerned, became it is an affinaatieo. of Mexico’s right to arrest and convict Aside from the Catting case, the Globe-Democrat expresses the opinion that thero is material for trouble which will lead to war iu the bad feelings of the Mexicans toward the people of the United States. It is found in all classes of Mexicans, and is more violent in the City of Mexico than on the border. American citizens have been obtaining property right in Mexico too fast to suit the Mexicans. They have been Americanizing Mexico too fast for them. The feeling on the border, which manifest* itself in threats and occasional raids, is only a reflection of the feeling of the border classes at the capital, and in all tbe cities of Mexico. 6oouor or later, no matter how the Cutting case may terminate, this sentiment will b!o«som into violence, and it will all end in a material change in tbo present relation between Mexico and the United States* Tire Pittsburg Dispatch, THE DEMAND OU MR. BAYARD FULLY IN- DORSET). Pittsburgh, Pa., August 7.—[8peci*L]— The "Dispatch” has already expreiFcd its convic tion that the United States cannot permit Its citi zens to be subjected to arrest and trial in other countries fir act# committed on tho soil of tho United gtsles. It says: "The action iu tho state department in demanding that Ontting be set free Mndorsed by congress and by tho country. Ng other course could be taken. If it were permissi ble that a United States citizen might be punished In a foreign country for on sot done In this, tho faext thing beard from it would bo claimed by Eu ropean governments to arrest and try any Ameri can, who, by speech, or writing, or] otherwise, in this land, would offend their sensibilities. Such a notion is preposterous and could not bo seriously pressed outside of Mexico, While It is clear that the Mexicans must come to their senses in this matter, it is not well to encourage tbo Idea that war is necessary. In proportion as Mexico is weak, helpless and ignorant and no match for tbo United States on tbe field of battle, so should the action ol onr people and our government be forbearing. This, however, need imply no want of firmness, nor even promptness. While the character of Cutting may render his case aa unfortunato one te bemads the subject of an international quarrel, we regard it as inconsistent with the objects of the government to permit citizens of the United States to be arrested or convicted by such proceedings as these in hie case.

Nashville, Tenn., August 7.—[Spoclal.]— Tbe AmeaJcan attaches very little importencoto the Cutting afikir, as it would not regard a war between this country and Mexico wilb as much concern as it would oic of Cincinnati’s first class ritts. We bare # nll oonfldcncc that our state de partment Is thoroughly advised and alert, and that every proper and roasonablo demand has boon or will be made, and that tho Mexican government, with all of Us; idiocy, will accede ijjj}ory single demand made upon it by this CARfffrrT w© would notserionilyobjccttedkimsfflw^hlpby tbo United States of the greswparuof tho five northern Mex ican states, as timy are sparsely populated, not containing ijJKtcr population in the aggregate of Georgia, and wJtb much more thanlfive times Georgia's area, and probably as a mineral region unsurpassed oo earth. It would: for:* great many years act as a safety valve for tbe United States, by giving an outlet to the restless adventurers and disquiet elements of onr population. But from tbe motley horde of belf breeds in the southern part of tho repnblic, “Good Lord deliver us.” , Of course it would rest simply upon a question of policy, in tbe event of a confilet sritb that country, as to how muob of It, if any, we would appropriate to swell onr domsin; but it Is almost ludicrous to discuu war with that people, for with all of their prorerbl al asrinlnlty, they trill develop shrewdness sufficient to escapo a real con and the right* of American citizens upheld. A the rame time the vaveof enthusiasm that fol lowed the tetter of Governor Ireland no Secretary B* yard shows that tbe martial spirits is as lively 84 of old. The principle that any foreign power hu - a right to JjnW an American citizen for a crime co«tmitted|orf American soil is one to which tbe peoplo woilOl never ascent. For the administration to permit tho assertion of such a right would brihf it iatopfip ular contempt Cutting is generally believed tobo low and worthless but that has nothipg to do Witt the principle involved. The Charleston News and Courier THINK* THAT A VIGOROUS POLICY SHOULD BE ADOPTED. Charleston, 8.

In r.n edlto* rial ft rays: “It ia tobo hoped that the government will move promptly and decisively iu this matter/ There is no room for faltering or hesitation. Mex* ico must back down, or tho United States will ba proclaimed to be a nation of dullards and coward.*; There is no Joko about it. It is a tragedy. Many more murders .than this will ensue if tbe United States ere bumble and deferential, and trust to rose water remedies. Let It Dot bo said that a demo cratic administration was deaf to the cries of tha humblest citizen, or that the blood of murder ed cried aloud to rain for vengeance.

No American congress has ever before flaunted thus openly and shamelessly in the face of the American people the assumption that thUi* a nation of fools and cowards. Let President Cleveland reiterate his j demand on Moxlco at once, and let tho racpoasibility foe the national dishonor be placed where it belongs; If congresses reconvened after Mexlcolhcp declined apeacable adjustment, tbe issue shirked yester- dsy will be forced to a settlement and .the men who yielded to tbe Blaine Influence in adjourn- lug will be compelled to show a decent respect foe the American flag anu tho opinions of mankind.
