ALEX ANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81.

The GAzETTE's esteemed contributor,
Catholic, finds 1t as hard to get at the GA
zErrE's intended meaning regarding the
Popes recent condemnation of the knights
of labor as he evidently thinks the GAZETTE
does to get at his. The GAZETTE intended
to express the idea that the Catholic church,
according to popular belief, being unit
respecting the Pope's infallibility on moral
subjects, and the organization known as the
knights of labor being the same in Canada
as in the United States. the Pope's condem-
nation must, according to that same popular
belief, apply to it in the latter as in the
former, inasmuch as the sin of the organlza'
ton must be Of the gravest moral character
to subject its members to the severepsnalties
of accommodation for adhering to 1t after
due warning.

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-A special dispatch
from South Canadian, Indian Territory,
says: 4 fatal shooting ARRAY occurred ut
NcAllister, Ariz., yesterday, in which two
men were shot, one instantly killed and
the other fatally wounded. The difficulty
arose over game of cards. Sheriff Moro
was fatally wounded, the shot taking effect
in the right Temple. One Stanton, IL saloon
keeper, was shot and instantly killed, two
shots striking him, the first taking effect in
the right breast, and tho second entering
at the mouth, breaking his neck. Sheriff
More received his wound in trying TO sep
arate Stanton and man named Smith, who
were fighting. After Stanton had fred the
shot which nit More he rushed to the back
door of the saloon and intorcepting Smith,
who was making for his horse to get away,
fired three shots at him, mono taking effect.
Then Smith opened fire upon him, with the
above effect. Deputies and posse are
securing tho woods for Smith, and if found
he will meet with little sympathy. More's
case is hopeless

THE FACT that Mr. Brady, who was very
anxious to go back to the United States
House of Representatives, has withdrawn
from the contest for denomination, tends
to strengthen the long entertained belief
that General Malone, whose term as Sena-
tor will expire next March, doesn't intend
willingly to give up his seat in Congress at
that time, but that he will enGeavor to
transfer it from the north to the south wing
of the Capitol. The General is unquestlon'
ably the strongest man in his party, not
only in his district, but in the whole State.
Should Ex-Governor Cameron, as is intimat-
ed, oppose and defeat him, it is by no means
improbable the General would wipe the
dust of Virginia from his shoes, upon which
it is most unfortunate for the State that it
ever settled.

1t ia understood that number of large

Injunction restraining the council committee
from proceeding with the erection of the

that the council have granted more power
in this matter then they are legally author
lied to do.
In Halifax county, near Green Hill, a day
or two ago, q farmer named James Farris
attempted suicide by hanging himself with
a halter In his stable. His little daughter
found him and gave the alarm, whereupon
he was cut down and resuscltated after a

vention which meets September I'd. Al
though Hon. George D. Wise declined to be
a candidate for reelection, and while the
delegates selected 60 uuinstructed, the
sentiment of the large majority is in favor of
renomiuating Mr.. Wise as the most avail.
able man to heal existing differences in the
party. A fair proportion OF the "Knights of
Labor" and other elements participated in
the ward meetings, and number of dele
gates are knights of Labor"

Disastrous Wind Storm.

VICTORIA, Tex, Aug. 81. "A disastrous wind
storm visited this city yesterday, leaving
destruction and desolation in i*s track. The
wind blew perfect hurricane. About seven
o'clock thu morning eastbound passenger
train which was standing at the depot here
was blown over on the platform. Several
passengers were on the train, but all OF them
escaped uninjured. The freight depot and
the Masonic Hall, both large buildings, are
total wrecks, while the whole colored Sec
ton is almost literally swept from the earth.
The church steeples were blown down and
two churches unroofed. The high school
building and the Jail werc considerably
damaged. Altogether there wero about IS
houses completely demolished, and 115 more
or less damaged. Few buildings escaped
uninjured. Trees and most of the shrub
berry in the city were blown down, and the
streets were filed with debris. Business
was entirely suspended. The loss is roughly
estimated at 100000. Old citizens say
that it was the most terrible storm ever
known in Victoria. The telegraph wires
are all down, and there is no connection
south of here. News from Cuero says the
storm was very disastrous to property there
also. Advice5 from the country say the
storm was very violent, damaging crops and
destroying property.
A special train from Indianola brings
sad news as to that place. A relief party
That went down on it report the following /:
When the train arrive within four miles
of Indianola tracks were washed out very
badly, and were partly gone. The party
walked within half q mile of the town in
water waist deep, and could 60 no further.
They saw Mr.. Clements across the bayou.
The bridge was washed away. He said we
should have a train there very early in the
morning, as everybody wanted to get away.
They have nothing to eat and no clothes.
1t is reported that the lower end of town is
gone from Mrs. LOCUS to the ice-house on
both sides of the street. The wharf is also
gone. There are supposed to be many lives
lost, as many persons are missing. The only
body found was that of the sister-in-law of
Mr.. Hodges, of Cuero, Texas"

Elk GOVERNOR PIERPoNT says that "whlle
Virginia has no legal, she does have an
equitable claim upon the national govern
ment for compensation for the territory out
of which the State of West Virginia was
created" She has not only an equitable but
legal claim for such compensation. To as
ssrt that Virginia gave her assent to her
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and that, too, within
the memory of thousands of living men, is
too manifestly incorrect to warrant denial ;
and as the national government conquered
Virginia, and treated her as conquered ter
ritory, it became responsible for her debts,
aud if she be permitted to repudiate those
debts the blame thereof should at least be
divided between herself and the nation.

ASSOCIATE PRESS DISP4 TCHES
The Cutting Case.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-No intima!ion
has been received at the Slate department
of the alleged purpose of the Mexicans to
pardon Cutting as soon as he shall have en-
tered upon his term of imprisonment. but
there il q disposition to believe that some way
will soon be found to release him and thus
to get rid of the annoying complication.
Should this be done merely as an act of
clemency on the part of the Mexican au-
thorities and without any avowed renuncia-
ton Of the claim Of extra territorial juris-
diction, this government will then under
take the task Of securing such renuncia-
ton SO far as American citizons arc con-
cerned, since the claim is held 10 be abhor-
rent to all the principles Of modern interna-
tional law as recognized and practiced by
governments which make any pretense to
civilization. With Cutting out of tie
way as q direct issue the subsequent
proceedings would of course be carried on
entirely through the leisure channels of
diplomacy, and without hint or suspicion
Of possible war on either side. It is admit.
ted that the obnoxious law was at the time
Mexico declared her independence part Of
the French code, and that certain other
powers of Europe may have set up and
practiced upon similar claims at that time;
but it Is asserted that it has long since been
abrogated or passed into disuse, and that
such a claim would not now be assented
to for moment by the Amer
lean government whoever might set it up.
There are crimes, such as conspiracies to
overthrow foreign governments and the fit
ting out offibustering expeditions, which,
if committed by Americans upon American
soil, would not only render the criminal liza
BILE to arrest and punishment here for vio-
lation Of our own laws, but also, if subse-
quently caught within the jurisdiction of the
offended government, liable to apprehension
aud trial according to the laws of that power
without calling for other action on the
part Of our government than the effort
to see that the accused had a fair trial.
But offences against the persons or the in
terest of foreigners committed upon Amer
lean soil either by Americans or foreigners
are, it is claimed, within the sole and
exclusive Jurisdiction Of American courts,
and to this doctrine it is asserted all civil
lied governments except Mexico assent. 1t
can be stated by authority that 30 demand
for Consul Birgham's resignation has been
made and that hs is held in high esteem
by the department of State. So far as the
department is officially informed his actions
in connection with the Cutting episode
have been wise, energetic and creditable.
It seems to be accepted in some quarters as
proven that the department has made
mistake in lis assumption that Mexico
holds Cutting for au act committed upon
this side of the boundary line. No mistake
is acknowledged ut the deparim ent and so
far as its present information goes the posi-
ton taken by this govern ent is fully JUST.
