The latest phase of the Cutting ease
is to the effect that Gen. Sedgwick, of I

was tried for, how he was tried, and all
the' circumstances surrounding the case,
lie ban no authority to enter into nego
tiations with anybody in Mexico or to
discuss any question of law that ; has
arisen there or may come up. He is
simply to find oat all about the Cutting
arrest, trial and conviction, and to? re
port the result to the State department.
The country will therefore haveto os
sess its soul in patience awhile logger
at any rate. It will take the special; en
voy several days to reach his destina

his arrival before any conclusion ca$ be
reached. Then there may ensue; a ling

while doing everything to maintain the
honor of the United States and 'to pro
tect citizen Cutting,1 evidently does not
propose to rush into hostilities. And this
is the course it is bound to take under our
treaty with Mexico even if it were not
disposed to take it in the interest of all
concerned. One clause of that treay is
as fallows : If unhappily any 'disagree
ment should hereafter arise between-the
governments of the il two republics,
whether with respect to the interpreta
tion of any st:pulatiun in this treaty; or
with respect to any other particular con
cerning the political or commercial re
lations or the two nations, the said gov
ornmen t$, in the names of those Ina
lions, do promise to each other that
they will endeavor, in the most sincere
and earnest manner, to settle the differ
ences eo arising and to preserve i the
state of peace and friendship in which
the two countries are now placing them
selves, using for this end, mutual repre
scntations and paaino negotiations, nd
if by these means they should hot be
cna&iea to come to an agreement; a re
port shall not on this account be had to
reprisals; aggression pr: hostility of 'any
kind, by the one republio against Itho
other until the eovernment of that
which deems itself aggrieved shall Have
maturely considered in the spirit of
peace and good neighborship whether it
would not be better that such difference
should be settled by the arbitration of
commissi on era appointed on each tide,
or by that of a friendly nation."' And
should such course be proposed bv
either party.it shall be acceded tobithe

ine Swiss statesmen are alt grey-haired.
and a cursory glance at a sitting: of the
Swiss Congress gives the impression of
a small human snow storm.
Ostentatious displays, either of ora
tory or of living, are as unheard of
official mannerism, inaccessibility and
bombast. The beggar on horseback has ,
never penetrated these fastnesses. The'
corner-stone of the eiroumlooution office
has not been laid. There is no public
debt and no surplus. My friend, the
Hon. A. Dudley Mann, who negotiated
the arst treaty between the United States
and Switzerland, told me a charac
teristic and amusing story of a dinner
given pim by the Federal consul just
before his departure from Berne, which
nearly bankrupted the national treasury.
I think he said that, out of a surplus on
band of two hundred and seventy-five
dollars, this banquet left less than one
hundred dollars subject to the Presi
dent's draft. Mr. Winchester, our
present minister, to whom I mentioned
this, deolarcd that time has in no wise
lessened the frugality of the Swiss au
thoritics. They receive the most meagre
salaries, and make no pretence at cere-
mony.
In transacting business with the Swiss
government one does not have to cool
his heels in an anteroom or pass the
gauntlet of a line of insolent underlings

do useful, lie u the same among his

as being, all thines considered, the
most suitable location for a new town of
the character, contemplated by iti pro-:
iectors. Something more than 300
w- O 1 I
acres of land 6n both sides of the railroad
were obtained, of which a central bodv
of seventy or more acres has been plotted I
and mapped. The plan of the pr0pne4;

wnicn they can employ what small oapi- I
tal they have accumulateoVin the start

are most familiar. The requisites for a
population of that kind are cheap build
tng lots in a healthy location, adjacent
to a railroad i water for domestic usei I
and to furnish power: coal and iron at
low prices all kinds of timber . These
requisites are fully met at Andrews
Water can be carried into tbe uper

struoted cheaply that will furnish
many small shops with: all
the power ; they will need, ; the
conformation of the land and its rela
tion to the water courses ensure sanitary
drainage at a trifling expense. Coal and
iron from lesnessee can be secured at
reasonable prioee. and every kind of
wood needed for the. useful arts is
abundant within short haulbg distance;
The Btreets of Andrews are forty feet
wide, the lots 75x150 feet. A block
has been let apart for the railroad eta
tion, and others will be for religious
and educational purposes. South of the
depot, and within a quarter of a mile
of it, is a comical hill one hundred fee
high, witk a level summit several bun!-
dred feet in extent. Tbe slope on all
sides admits of tbe construction of t
broad siccial carriage road of easy

the spot if all others for a hotel, which
would command an expanse of
