Dknvir, August 6. A special dis
patch from El Paso says : The trial of
editor, Cutting was set for 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, and at that hour the
Mexican authorities of the court, the
judge of letters, Senor Miguel Sabbida,
his clerk, official interpreter Louis
Dautinks, complainant Eridio Medina,
consul Brigham and olerks, the prisoner
and a few American citizens and repre
sentatives of the El Paso press, as
sembled in the small court room, fur
nished with two tables and a few ohairs.
At 1 o'clock the prosecuting attorney,
J M. Sierra, and Jesus E. Yslas, at
torney for the defense, announced that
they were ready for trial. On the open
ing of the court judge Sabbida asked
the interpreter to read all the proceed
ings and documents in the ease. Among
them were Medina's affidavits charging
editor Cutting with failure to carry out
the reconciliation made before the Mex
ican urt in regard to a publication
in hisTaso del Norte paper by imme
diately causing to be published in the
El Paso Sunday Herald a repetition of
the article. The second affidavit of Medio a
charges Cutting with having caused to
be circulated over ten copies of that
paper in Paso del Norte and alleges that
his malicious intention was made plain,
because his defamatory card appeared
both in Spanish and English, while the
Herald usually published nothing but
English. Then the order of the judge
to recover all the copies of the Herald
containing the said article so circulated
was read, followed by the written
minutes of the court from day to day,
embracing the time from Cutting's first
appearance before the4court, the day and
the hour of its sitting; then came the
original charge of libeling a Mexican
citizen, Medina, in the Sunday Herald
paper, published at El Paso,'Texap.
Medina had filed as evidence against the
prisoner the act of conciliation previous
ly signed by both, copies of the Herald
and the report of an interview held
with the prisoner by a representative
of another local paper. One part of
the court minutes stated that Cutting at
11 0 clock at light, when told that he
might give bond, answered that he
would not do so; that his case was in
the hands of his government, and that
if the demand for his release was not
obeyed at once, the United States
troops from Fort Davis would imireli-
ately arrive to liberate him by force.
The minutes go on to state how several
persons had been appointed by the court
to defend Cutting against! his will and
how all these had declined until Jesus.
E. Yslas had accepted the task; Then
follows the introduction of the laws of
the State of Texasjapplicablejin the case,
as the offense was conceded to have been
committed in Texas. When the read
ing was finished Cutting was asked
if all was satisfactory to him.
Pie replied that he could not
countenance the proceedings, as he
considered the court without jurisdic
tion in the ease. The offioial then sig
nified his approval of the contents of
the minutes, and arguments were de
clared in order. Jose Maria Sierra, the
prosecuting attorney, then took the
floor and delivered his argument, stop
ping only to quote from law books such
articles and paragraphs as were referred
to m nis speecn; saying tne ease ningea
upon a written agreement betweenMedina
and Cutting, called an act of reconcili
ation, which was broken and made void
by tho publication of -Cutting's articles
in the El Paso bunday Herald; that
Cutting's breach of the contract gave
Medina a perfect right to continue his
case against the prisoner, and in support
of this view he quoted artiele 656 and
section 5 of article 657 of the Mex
ican code. He declared that Cut
ting was not an ignorant man,
but had repeatedly acted in di
rect opposition to the aot of reconcilia
tion as the publication of interviews
with the prisoner in El Paso papers
proved, and that the prisoner merited
no clemency because hs crime was
wore than if be were ignorant or, real
ising its gravity, sought' to make
amends instead of constantly reiterating
his attacks upon Melina. Ia inter-
iews the prisoner had made the invos-
igation of tho case difficult by refusing
to answer the judge, and this was an
aggravating circumstanco in law. The
result of his crime has been to terrorizs
the people of this vicinity, disturbing
society, causing fear of a Revolu
tion and probably war. All these were
aggravating circumstances and crimes
in themselves. Sections 1 and 4 of ar
ticlo 186, of the Mexican law, gave
the court jurisdiction, and the
counsel characterized the offence as
a crime, because it was also punishable
in Texas, as the quoted law of Texas
specified, by imprisonment of from six
month? to two years, or by a hne of
from S300 to g2,000. Ho concluded
by calling attention to article 66 of the
penal code, which defines the sentence in
suoh a case, and asked the court that
a sentence of two years imprisonment at
hard labor be imposed upon the prisoner.
He requested the eourt to censure con
sul Brigham for his officious interfer
ence in the ease, and also that the Fed
eral authorities be notified of the con
sul's acts so that the necessary diplo
matic oorrespondenoe for his removal
might be commenced. Medina, tho ac
cusing partyrwas then given the floor,;
and testified that Cutting had maligned
his character in his paper. For this
he had him cited by the court for
recognition. The result of this was
that Cutting premised to publish four
tune, in ootn nogiisu ana opanisn, a re
traction. He has broken his word, as
is evident from No. 16 of El Centinel,
by having omitted the Spanish version
of his retraction and by naving given
the English in a poor form, omitting
capital Tetters and using very poor typo,
and (continued the witness) "not satisfied
with burlesquing my good faith and his
oath, ho caused to appear two articles
more offensive than the first in the El
Paso Sunday Herald of June 20, ono
in Spanish and the other in English, re
iterating his former charges and claim
ing that he had retracted be
cause he was foroed to before
a Mexican judge ; and, Cutting,
not satisfied with the harm done my
reputation and my business, has said in
an interview with a Tribune reporter
that I am 'a fraud and a dead-beat;'
that this had always been his opinion of
my newspaper enterprise, and that for
this reason he published it." The
witness further said : "It being publio
and notorious that Cutting has defamed
me by name, thus mailing it impossible
for me to continue my newspaper en
terprise, and my interests having
suffered grave damages so that I will be
unablo to continue longer in bubiuess;
therefore I supplicate the judge to name
two. persons to fix tho damage caused
me by said Cutting as an eqaitable way
of settlement on my part." At the con
clusion of the witness' testimony Senor
Jesus E. Yslas, attorney for Catting,
croso. He argued that a former actiou had
euded the olaitulof'Medina; that Cutting
did not voiuntaily break any Mexican
law?, and that is why he went so far
away to republish his card; also, that
if the offense was punishable, there were
many reasons why the punishment
should be as light as possible. Cutting
was then offered a chance to tpeak, but
he simply stated that he could not re
cognize the court and that he was in the
hands of the government. The judge
then adjudged him guilty and the court
adjourned. The judge has fifteen days
in which to pronounce sentence.

an anxious desire to cover and with the

GRAHAM CHOSEN.
Which Rahd at the end of the
211th Ballot The Full Kotea of
I'rocevdina.
Yesterday: was another eventful day
in the fourth district democratic conven
tion. It had adjourned at 2:50 o'clock yes
terday morning, at the end of the 168th
ballot for Congressman, which stcoi as
follows : Cooke 87i, Cox 68i, Bunn
20 5-6, Graham 93, Abcll 9.
At 9.30 o'clock a. m. the oonven-
tion reassembled at Metropolitan
hall. Mr. E. W. Pou, Jr., of John
ston, who had been elected secretary,
declined to serve and nominated Mr.
B. Wilder, of Franklin, who was
unanimously elected. On motion of
Mr. E. S. Parker, of Alamance, each
delegation waB requested to send in a
nam& for member of the district execu
tive committee to serve for the next two
years. The. voting, which had ceased
at 2.15 in tho morning, at the 168th
ballot, was resumed. The 169th ballot
was as follows: Cooke 86, Cox 70i,
Bunn 119 5-6, Graham 93. At this
hour the members of the convention
were all in their seats. The attendance
of the general public was not so large
as Thursday and the galleries were
rather thin. I Mr. J. A. Thomas, of the
ouisburg Times, who had done suoh
faithful service the day previous as
reading clerk, again filled that position.
Chairman London looked pretty fresh,
but relinquished the chair for awhile to
Mr. J. S. Joyner, of Franklin. The
ballots ran along with monotonous reg
ularity, and requiring just two
minutes to be taken, until the 177th,
when the Wake delegation retired for
consultation. Capt. E. J. Parrlsh made
an appeal for Johnston to rally to
Graham, and said that by this it would
be found out how Chatham stood. None
of these "feelers," and several were
presently thrown out, elicited any re-
a..i 1 ii.i . t
eponse. as they had done an tne time
before, Durham and Orange voted sol
idly for Graham, and Nash for Bu m.
franklin had settled w.to a steadily schJ
vote for Cooke. Balbt after ballot was
uninteresting and the changes made not
worthy of note. The convention was
very quiet and undemonstrative. It
became really, annoyingly monotonous
and people who wanted some sort of an
awakening sighed for a ' 'break' ' for any
body. On the 195th ballot Wake cavo
Cooke 25 5-6, Cox 32J, Bunn 26 5-6.
Ou the 196th it gave Cooke 23 5-6, Cox
32J, Bunn 36 5-6. Graham 2. Wake,
Alamanoe land Chatham continued to
vote for many candidates, as they had
done sinoo $ho convention began. After
the 199th ballot Wake and Chatham, re
tired for conference. That ballot was
Cooke 90 5-6, Cox 61 5-6, Bunn
129 5 6, Graham 96. It was now 11
o'clock.
GEN. COX WITHDRAWS.
At 11.10 there were cheers and Gen.
W. R. Cox was seen entering the hall.
Amid continued cheers he took the
platform. He said: "Gentlemen of the
convention: My heart would indeed
be cold if I could not appreciate the
devotion of my friends as shown in this
convention. 1 have represented you in
Congress three terms and I would not
today change a vote rhave ever given
or any appointment I have made. (Ap
plause.) I feel that I ought not to
stand longer as a candidate. I had
principles to vindicate and if I had had
only five followers I would yet have been
before you as a candidate. 1 have been
vindicated and am no longer a candi
date before this convention."
In a moment there was a burst of
applause as Gen. Cox, bowing, left the
stage. Men sprang to their feet and
there began vehement cheering tor
Cooke, Bunn and Graham, mingled
with cheers for Fowle. There was
eager interest for the next ballot. Wake
again withdrew. The 198th ballot was
as follows:

Wake also gave Capt. O. K. Rand

floor and galleries were packed and the
excitement was far great' r than at an y
time during the previous hours of the
session. - lhefswas more cheering as
the result was announced. The deadlock
was not at all broken. Ou the 199th ballot
Wake gave Graham an additional vote,
which Cooke lost. There was applause
as the 200th ballot was ordered. The
vote stood Cooke 119, Bunn 139J,
Graham 120J, Wake causing the slight
change. There was no change of mo
ment until the 210th ballot, when Wake
changed 1 from Bunn and 3 from Cooke
to Graham. Franklin withdrew for
consultation amid great cheering.
MB. COOKK WITHDRAWS.
At this stage of the proceedings loud
applause was heard and Hon. C. M.
Cooke entered the hall and took the
stage. He said : "Gentlemen of the
convention. I do not claim to be any
more unselfish than the average North
Carolina democrat. But this I do
claim ; that I place the success of the
democratic party and civil liberty far
above any personal ambition. The time
has now come, in the opinion of my
friends, in which I most heartily oon
cur, for me to withdraw. I do it. I
do it most willingly. It is a disappoint
ment, but I look yon straight in the face
and resign this prospect without any
feeling which I cannot bury in an hour.
Had it been your pleasure to have
nominated me, I should have borne
your banner proudly. I am oor
fident that you will place it in wor
thier hands. If any man can do more
to bring success to its bearer it will be
solely because he has more ability or
opportunity. I thank, from the depths
of my heart, those who gave me sup-
fiort. I shall, to the latest hour of my
ife, cherish it. God bless you all and
help you to elect a man in all ways
worthy to represent you in the Con
gress of the United States."
The applause which greeted Mr.
Cooke was of the most enthusiastic char
acter. The convention devoted itself
to cheering for the favorites. There
were call for a ballot. The president
ordered the taking of the 211th ballot.
It began, while the most intense ex
citement prevailed. Nearly every del
egate and spectator was on his feet. The
ballot was taken down to Franklin.
That county withdrew for a quarter of
an hour. On its return Hon. J. J.
Davis said: "In this long contest Frank
lin had no second choice. She now gives
23 for Bunn and 24 for Graham." There
was a burst of applause. The din was
deafening. At this juncture Mr. Bunn
took tbe stage before the announcement
of the vote. He said :
MR. BUNN WITHDRAWS.
"Gentlemen and Fellow-Citizens : I
could but recognize the importance of
this convention, when I see as its mem
bers men who are striving for the ad
vancement of the district and the party.
I know they came here to put the stand
ard in the hands of worthy men. I
wish to ask that the nomination of Maj
Graham be made unanimous. (Great
cheering.) I thank all the gentlemen who
have stood by me. You have oast 211 bal
lots, a larger number than were ever
before cast in North Carolina. I recog
nize that those who follew mo will fol
low Graham. I hail from a county
which has never sent a republican as a
representative to your legislature halls
and I believe never will, and I say to
the men of Orange that if they bring as
large a majority as Nash will bring
Maj Graham will be elected beyond
question. I am here to renew the pledge
of support for the man nominated. I am
bore to tell this convention that nothing
rancors in my bosom which can drive
me from the support of the democratic
party. I renew my motion to make
the nomination unanimous.",
This announcement was greeted witb
great applause. Mr. T. B. Womack,
of Cbatbarr, in behalf of Gen. Cjx and
of Chatham county seconded the motion
to make Maj. Graham's nomination
unanimous. In him Chatham had a
man she was willing to trust. Capt.
E. R. Stamps, of Wake, said that as a
supporter of Capt Cooke and in behalf
of the Wake delegates who had sup
ported that gentleman he also desired
to seoond the motion to make the nomi
nation unanimous.

maj. graham's acceptance.
Taking the stage amid cheers and
after a felicitous introduction by Hon.
J.J. Davis, who said: "Having con
quered his friends, he will certainly
Whip his enemies , Maj. Graham said:
"While I give you my most hearty
thanks for this confidence, I accept the
nomination with sadness. This victory
is won at the expense of friends of mine.
I am obliged for the efforts the other
candidates have made to secure their
election since but for them I would never
have secured the nomination." He
went on to compliment Hon. J. J.
Davis and Gens Cox. He discussed
publio matters, saying that he hoped
jto see the internal revenue officers
and the internal revenue system disap
pear from the land. The p li y of the
government now pursued gave no hope
of this at once. As soon as possible
they should be dtna awly witb. He
spoke of the silver coinage; and in
quired why a dollar could not be made
to oontaJn a dollar's wort'i of silver,
or else why could there not be a blended
coin of silver and gold 1 He touched
upon the tariff and the tobacco interest.
He said that free trade was but a dream
unrealized. The country is bound to
have a tariff as long as there
are a war debt and pensions to pay. He
spoke of the long session of the conven
tion and its earnest work. He promised
to make an active canvass of every nook
and corner of this district He would
try to perform that duty, as he had all
others, faithfully. lie alluded very
modestly but foroibly to his representa
tion of all tbe counties this district in
the legislature of 1868, as the sole dem?
ocrat from them all. He had repre
ssed them at that time; he would
do it again. He said this posi
tion was a trust, a publio duty, and he
was deeply sensible of tho gravity of
the responsibility. He hoped tnat in
laying down his trust he would havo
the same confidence displayed today. It
is really not what we have done for self
but -What we have done for others that '
causes the noblest emotions.
At 1.15 p. m. the gavel of chairman
London fell upon his table as he de
clared the memorable convention ad
journed sine die.
