The Cutting CONTROVERSY.

BY dispatches received at Ell Paso it is
learned that the second chamber of the Su-
preme Tribunal of chihuahua took up the
case of A. X. Cutting. and, after reviewing
the entire evidence, argument began. This
did not last long. The attorneys pro and
con had previously come to an agreement
that "the two months Imprisonment already
suffered by Cutting be considered a com
plete purgation of his crime" This makes
it certain that the sentence which follows
shortly will conform to this agreement
among the attorneys. The case was heard
with closed doors. The court holds Judge
Castenador and Judge Zubia exactly right
i'll trying and sentencing Cutting, but,
under the circumstances, the court thinks
he has now, by two months confinement,
suffered enough, and they Will order his re-
lease. The 5000 fine is also to be RENTED.
The court expressly reaffirms all that has
been said in favor of the right of Mexico to
try offenses committed in the United States;
therefore the status CT the case, as an inter-
national question, is not, and will not be in
the least altered by the release of Cutting.
1t Will come up again directly on the ques-
t on of indemnity. Consul Brigham says
he didn't see how the release of Cutting at
this stage. would change anything but the
personal comfort of Cutting. 1t was not so
much question Of the personal liberty of
Cutting as the broad principle at stake be-
tween the two Governments, and, as lie I'M
derstood. the court had expressly affirmed
the validity of the law, Which Secretary
Bayard has recently said that the United
States could never permit to be enforced.

The Indian Problem.

The instructions given the Indian Com
mission recently appointed in compli,nce
with the provisions of the Indian aporo-
priation bill, are Of great interest to the
Northwest, in both philanthropic and
commercial aspect. The general ptlicy
outlined is the. reduction of reservations,
the consolidation of bands and tribes, and
the augmentation of the public domain.
There are problems to follow in the rain
of this policy if carried out, which will
deeply concern Indian helpers and workers.
TO reduce the hunting grounds of til, Iu-
dian, and give his land to the white nan S
pillow, and his forests to the white nan IS
AK, mean to him the alternative of owning
his land i'll severalty on which to cam his
living and become an intelligent citizen, or
starvation and ignorance in state of -aga-
bondage. Acting Commissioners Upshaw,
in speaking of these instructions, enpha-
sizes distinctly the statement tina, the
primary object is to better the Indian, not
to get his land. NO one," he continued,
is going to cut pine Or build railroads
where either pursuit will injure the Indians
If their lands are to be taken, other lands
must be given them, and they must have
guidance and encouragement in learning
how to live on that land like white men
The Indian race must eventually s,lccuml
in all its methods and means of subsistence
to the overtowering civilization that is
pressing upon it. We have boundless con.
fidence in this commission. All its mem.
bers are tried men. We expect great dea
from their work-many changes doubtless
but all for the best" The commission.
ers are Hon. John V. Wright, Rt. Rev. H
B. Whipple and Charles F. Larabee, Esq
The instructions are signed by Commits.

Suipe Hunting.
Grass VALLEY Union.

O'U"o ' Uttcy %"
The young bloods of Modesto played the
"snipe hunting" game on an unsophisti-
Gated young man from Missouri. q few
nights ago., and the victim, after "holding
the bag" about two hours realized that he
was sold. and on returning to town and
finding " the fellows" all laughing at the
success of their joke, he paid the usual for
felt, of " drinks for the crowd" Some Of
the Grass Valley boys endeavored to In
struct a commercial traveller In " snipe
catching" one evening OF the present week.
and he evinced a strong desire to be ini-
tiated into the mode OF catching those
delicate birds. The preparations were all
made, and the intended victim
supplied with q bag and candles,
but the night being chilly he
proposed they should repair to the Hol-
brooke bar and take something stimulat.
ing before starting. The boys assented to
this, and then the arrangements Of the
hunt we're further discussed until several
calls were made upon the barkeeper. The
commercial traveller" then intimsted
that he was not entirely ignorant as to the
mode OF catching snipe," as his grand
father had long since instructed him in
the game, and suggested to the young gen.
tlemsn who was the principal in working
the racket" that he was at liberty to pay
the bar bill. The tables were so cleverly
turned upon the jokers that they saw the
point in an instant. OF the subsequent
proceedings the deponent sayeth not.

The Wool Market.

A Boston telegram Of the 1st instant
says: The wool market is in the same con-
dition as previously noticed. Uncertainty
as TO the future makes buyers very eau
tious in their movements. They hesitate
to purchase wool in anticipation of their
wants and requirements on count OF the
unsettled state of trade caused by labor
movements. Wool is beginning to arrive
quite freely. During the next three
months the stock must rapidly accumu-
late. Prices are opening higher in the in
terror markets than current rates on the
sesboard. The position of California woods
is not yet defined. The price is still very
high at San Francisco and a good deal OF
wool has been bought at high prices. The
Boston dealers claim they have not bought
it, but a good deal of it will find it's way
into New England. Nevertheless, il prices
there are to be the basis for this market,
an advance is to be looked for.

Cattle are valuable. There is hardly any
other property in the world which will re-
turn such profits with such little care and
expense. But they arc worth nothing I'M
less one has water and feed for them. 1t
will not pay to raise cattle and feed for
them in this dry country. We are too far
from markets, and Ii is foolish to think OF
competing with Eastern farmers In raising
feed for cattle. This being the fact. any
one can SEQ that in order to make cattle
valuable in Nevada. one must have ranges
for them to feed on. In other words, the
sensible policy for cattlemen to pursue is
Tor them to locate and buy all the ranges
possible. 1t is the most saleable property
one can get hold Of. There need be no
fear OF the present prices decreasing.
