"For us, Principle is Principle Right is iaihtr-Yesterday, To-day, To-morrow, Forever." THE MEXICAN MUDDLE. No Possible Arbitration Mexico. with SECRETARY BAYARD S ORIGINAL MAND TO BE INSISTED UPON. DE- The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, who appears to write by authority, has interviewed Secretary Bayard, and now gives the following in denial of certain rumors printed in the New York World. The Sun correspondent, under date of Fri day night, telegraphed : "In relation to the statement tele graphed from here to a New York pa per that the cabinet had accepted an offer from the Mexican government to have the Cutting affair looked into by a special envoy from this country with a view to arbitration, Secretary Bayard said to-night that there was no truth whatever in the report. He added that he had not heard from Minister Jackson on the Cutti jg affair since "the adjournment of Congress, and all his dispatches on that subject had been published. The story about a soecial envoy is claimed to be one of many similar rumors set afloat to embarrass the State department. It is broad! v asserted that Mexican mon ev is beiner freely ustd to defeat the administration in the Cutting affair by creating public sentiment in this country hostile to the position as sumed by Secretary Bayard. A prom inent Republican diplomatist who has criticized the action of the State de partment, is said to be an agent of the Mexican government, and a strong effort is being made to work up a feel ing in favor of arbitration so as pave . the way for action on the part of the administration which would afterward be construed by its opponents as a "back down." Mexican irrascibility and venality are claimed to be the ele ments of danger in the present situa tion. Secretary Bayard, speaking of the accusation made against him, that he had proceeded with undue haste in the Cutting affair, and had placed this country in the attitude of bullying a weaker neighbor, said to-night that he had acted with all possible consid eration towards Mexico. , Cutting had been in prison for more than a month when he made the demand for his re lease, and ever since then he had been doing everything in his power to ef fect a .peaceful settlement short of conceding the point that Mexico could try an American citizen for an offense committed in this country. There he had stopped short, and there he would remain. The question is a fundamen tal one involving: ricrht of American citizenship, and not one which can be disoosed of bv arbitration. It is not a question of pecuniary loss or damage, but of personal liberty and possibly of life itselr. Secretary Bayard is evidently anx ious to help the Mexicans out of the difficultv without infrincrinsr on their sensitive national pride, but he has no idea of eriviner up the principle for which this erovernment contends. From his expressions on the subject it may be stated that the question or ar bitration has not been considered, and the State department has no idea of modifying: its demand, which is the , unconditional release of Cutting. The chief difficulty in the way of a settle ment is the peculiar relations of the various States to the Federal govern ernment of Mexico. Their condition is pretty much what that or our own colonies was before the adoption of the federal constitution, all acting in dependently, and intensely jealous of one another. The .federal govern ment or Mexico is powerless m some instances as against an individual State. The" State of Chihuahua now holds Cuttiner. and until the Federal government gets possession of him it can do nothing. Unless the passions of the Mexicans are inflamed to such a point as to render it dangerous for the Federal government to make conces fc sions, Cutting will probably be re- leased as soon as practicable, and the matter amicably adjusted. There can be no doubt, however, that there is a very ugly feeling in Mexico against our people. Secretary Bayard received a dis patch from Minister Jackson to-night stating that Rasures, who was sent across the border by the Texan au thorities, was killed by the Mexicans while trying to escape at night. Con sul Linn, stationed at Piedras Negras, informs the State department that when, at his mother's request, Ra sures' body was exhumed, it was found that he had been shot while blindfolded with a towel, and with his I hands pinioned at his side. He was escaping in this condition when the Mexicans shot him down in cold blood. This is cited here as a specimen of Mexican justice, and of the way our citizens may expect to be treated in j Mexico. A prominent official said to I night that an innocent man was more likely to be convicted in Mexico than a guilty man was in the United States. Minister Jackson is said to be a trained lawyer, fully capable of con . ducting all negotiations and any in vestigation as to points of law that may be necessary. There would be no occasion, therefore, to send a spe cial envov to Mexico, and to do so would be to cast a reflection on Minis-4 ter Jackson, which that getleman would not be likely to tolerate. A geutlemah high in authority here, speaking of this feature of the case this evening, said : "How absurd it is to talk of our sending another rep resentative to Mexico. That would be to plead our case there, in a Mexi can court, so to speak, and we have already had enough of Mexican courts. We i have had too many examples of their methods of procedure, as illus trated in the pitiful fate of poor Ra sures. ' Nothing is known here of Minister Jackson's resignation, and it is not thought by the State depart ment to be at all likely that even if he wished to resign he would do so Just at this juncture of affairs. He ias certainly given no intimatian to I the department of a .wish to be re lieved. From what Secretary Bayard says it is safe to discount all rumors which have not for their basis the in sistence by this government upon its original demand. Mr. Bayard is sin cere v anxious for peace, and will ex oS TrmA S haust all dignined and means to insure it, but "peace with honor." New York, August 14. The Even ing Post publishes the following spe cial from Washington : "State de partment officials question whether the point raised in the press dispatch from the City of Mexico, that Cutting's anegea crime f ' pr0ved, and we trust may soon be en fence," begun on Mex lCan soil, is not P ' d 0. , a shrewd afterthought on the part of ,cf w c mu ue a;aA the Mexican officials. IJjX-UOngreSS man Hurd, of Ohio, and other able ju rists, suggested that difficulty here, when the correspondence was first made public. Mr. Hurd, who has had occasion in the course of his profes sion to make exhaustive search of the authorities on the subject of extraterri torial jurisdiction, was strongly of the opinion that Cutting's case came with in the rules of international offence, and he took pains to urge this view upon several prominent members of the foreign affairs committee, when it was too late however to change the attitude of the government. There has been ample time since for Minis ter Romero, or some other iriend or the Mexican government, to convey this statement to Mexico Uitv. it is regarded as singular that only at this ate dav is there any mention or any such ground being held by the court, and it is looked upon as altogether im probable that an obscure Mexican -mdere in a small frontier town should manifest such a close acquaintance with the principles ot international law as is implied in this official publi- cation, ine uecisiun, it is uenovcu, has been made in order, and after the facts and to fit the exigencies of the case.

IT HAS COME TO STAY. Senator Voorhees did not distin guish himself, during the session of Congress which has just ended, by an enthusiastic support of the Civil Ser vice Reform policy of the President. Since he has returned to his consti tuents, however, he has found it ex pedient to say that the President's ad ministration is both " Democratic and satisfactory." The mistake of Mr. Voorhees and of many other Congress men has been that they have accepted the voice of the officeseekers in Wash ington for the voice of the people, and it was necessary for them to go home in order to detect their error. Having learned that the people are in earnest, as well as the President, we may con fidently expect to see a Civil Service boom in Congress next winter.

(Condensed from the New Berne Journal.) The Democratic Convention of Cra ven met Friday. Capt. S. H. Gray was Chairman ; Mr. H. S. Nunn, Sec retary. The Committee on Resolu tions, of which Mr. J. A, Bryan, was Chairman, report the following, which were adopted : We, the Democrats of Craven coun ty, m Convention assembled, reaffirm ing our devotion to the principles of the Democratic party, do Resolve j That the action of the last Legislature in placing Craven county in a judicial district composed of counties not contiguous to it ; with no business connections with it, and the county seat of the nearest of which is by the usual route of travel distant one hundred miles, is inconvenient, unjust, contrary to the spirit of the constitution, and meets with our un qualified disapproval. V ' Resolved, That the next legislature be respectfully but earnestly requested to do us justice by placing this coun ty in a circuit composed of adjoining counties. Resolved, That we endorse the action of the Democratic Executive Commit tee of Craven county requesting Messrs. Charles C. Clark and William B. Lane to allow their names to be submitted to the mass convention held July 13th, 1886, as candidates for the general assembly upon the "Peo- Sle's Ticket," and that we therefore eem it inexpedient to make any nom inations, believing that the material and industrial interests of Craven county will be wholly represented by said ticket. -Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Craven county in convention assem bled, take great pleasure in recom mending to the convention, of this congressional district the name of our distinguished fellow-citizen, F. M. Simmons, Esq., as . a suitable candi date, by reason of his abUity, energy ana aevoiion 10 lemQcrauc principles to represent the second district in the next Congress of the United States ; and should - he le the nominee of the convention, Craven county pledges her cordial and united support to his canvass. Resolved. That we appreciate the great integrity and ability of the mem bers of our Supreme Court, and favor , their re-election to the high office which they fill with such credit to themselves and to the State. Delegates to the congressional con vention at Wilson, September 1, and to the State convention were chosen. A CARD. lo my Friends and Supporters in the late Congressional Convention at Clinton'. Gentlemen: I would be derelict to you and to myself, did I not try to ex press the thanks 1 reei ror your cor dial, generous, ITS nZ; throughout an almost continuous ses sion of nineteen ' hours on last Wed nesday and Thursday. In my own be half and in the name of the People, whose wish you were voicing, I thank you as best I may for -this unprece dented.devotion. t Going in with 198 votes out of a pos sible 341, and maintaining it almost absolutely intact through the 334 con secutive ballots ensuing and extending through the entire night, is an in stance of resolution and physical en durance, rarely if ever equalled in any similar bod. Friendly predelietion for myself will not alone account for it. It had to be sustained by sense of duty and popular demand. You feel that a majority of over fifty against "the Field" on the first ballot, and which was kept up with almost un broken regularity to the last, proof con i n" ,: t' elusive of popular preference, even had there been no question or the le- questio erality of opposing delegations. But when you realized, as all tair minded men did, that two great coun ties had been arbitrarily defrauded of their legitimate representation, and packed delegations substituted by summary process or tricksters, ror the ostensible and avowed purpose of insu ring my defeat under the $ rds rule, po pular verdict, as expected, made you the more steadtast in your resolution. It is needless to say, my friends, I am proud of the support which followed. Rather, a thousand times rather, de feat with such following than success achieved by the substitution of the lordly will and pleasure of a little town clique of little men for the recognized methods of nartv organization, the jure or a iitue town ror the recognized primary and: county convention. The one I have, the other I scorn, as I do the schemers who wrought the wrong. My brief political career is in all prob ability ended, whether through incli nation or under compulsion matters little.

BLOODY WORK IN BELFAST A Fight from the House-Tops hy Moonlight. London, August 15. Rioting has been resumed in Belfast. From mid night last night until 9 o'clock this morning a rifle fight was in progress on the Shankhill road and the Old Falls road. One person was killed and many wounded. The town is seething. A dispatch from Belfast says : Sec tarian strife has recurred in a deplor able, cold-blooded fashion. Expert marksmen this morning conducted a rifle fight on roof-tops, chimney stacks and street corners. Immense crowds of partisans, who carefully, kept out of range, were prepared to assist by supplying ammunition and removing the wounded. The sides were equally throughout the contest. m.Orq i men admit that one or their men, named MacFarland, was killed, and two others named Smith and Johnson, mortally wounded ; also, that there were numerous minor casualties on their side. They claim that they killed and wounded many Catholics, but the latter deny that they sustained serious losses. Many houses were riddled by bullets. Whenever the military appeared the combatants snuted ground, rinaiiy, at oo ciock, after the Riot Act had been twice read, the troops charged upon the crowds and cleared the streets tempo- rarily. An old man and two women, inmates of a house on Conway street from which many shots had been fired, were arrested. They stated that three men had forced an entrance into the house and had remained there all night firmer from the roof.
