general Robert e. Lee;
Whereas. The invitations sent out for said recep-
acn had picture of the first rebel flag on one

/. That we condemn in the most UNQUALIFIED
terms such conduct being opposed to the best inter-
ests Of the citizen and gross insult the American
flag we fought to protect
z That sincerely deprecate all sectional strife,
and determined to know North, South. no
East, West, but declare in the words of the Illus

s. That we sincerely regret to find few in all sec
ons OF orr beloved country who feel disposed they
dare sunt this dirty rag Of treason in faces The
emblem of country is the stars and stripes and
until is accepted and cherished by all the country
Is in danger.
A. That those lately in rebellion against our gov
eminent were guilty of some of the most barbarous
acts known to civilization and upon surrender they
were treated the most magnanmously of any foes ii
either ancient or modern history In view of these
facts regard their display of the rebel flag as com
ing with very bad They should rather be proud
of the stars and stripes and rejoice that they per-
mtted to live under good government.
B. That while the Rebellion all wrong and with
out excuse have respect for those who met us
face to face in deadly combat but we fail to find Ian
guage to express contempt for those who stood in
che rear out of all danger, and urged on the deadly
strife and Of such we think those who would now
raise the rebel rag.

THE MEXICAN CASE.

Judged by the tenor OF the documents
transmitted to Congress by the President,
on the case OF A. X. Cutting, now in
arrest at Paso Del Norte, Mexico, for the
alleged publication OF libel on Mexi-
can citizen, il looks rs il the matter.
would lead TO serious trouble between
Mexico and the United States. Cutting
published an article in an American
newspaper, he being within the lines of
the United States and Il citizen thereof at
the time, which it was claimed by the
Mexicans, was libel on one OF their
citizens, and when Cutting crossed over
to the Mexican side, he was arrested and
is still held prisoner by the Mexican
authorities. The usual demand was made
for his release and Tor bail pending trial,
both OF which were refused, and
telegraphic demand from our Secretary
OF State was also refused, the Mexican
Government holding that they had juris-
diction over all crimes coming within
touching distance OF their people, and
hence had jurisdiction over this crime
alleged to have been committed against
one oi their citizens. Secretary Bayard
peremptorily denied their right to any
such jurisdiction, for the reason that il
such were allowed, the Mexican authori-
ties could with equal show OF right arrest
and convict any editor in the United
States, on his arrival within Mexican
territory, for publishing any article that
they would deem libelous. Congress now
has no reason to delay i'll forcing an eX-
planation from the Mexican authorities,
promising it with a percmptory demand
for the immediate release of Cutting, and
thus settling for once and all time the
well-known fact that Mexico has no juris'
diction over crime committed in the
United States. The peculiarly hostile
attitude of Governor Ireland, OF Texas,
toward the Mexicans will force the
country into deeply complicated position
unless some definite and direct action is
taken by Congress, and what could now
be obtained by showing bold from
would then be gotten only through war
and though in the end the Mexcan'
would be badly beaten, it is doubtful
If the game is worth the candle. A
short, sharp demand from the National
Congress will do the work, and from thu
present temper OF that body it is yer,
likely it will soon be forthcoming, il i
has not already been sent. Character
less or worthy, Cutting is a citizen OF tn,
United States, and any other man in thu
country would be as liable rs he unde

THE CASE OF MR. DEMENT,.

The nomination of X. S. Dement, to be
Surveyor General for Utah was yesterday
rejected by the Senate i'll executive
session, without division. It's well.
The DEMOCRAT long ago became fully sat
isfed-as Senator Cullom, from Dement'S
own State, now declares himself to be
that the nomination was a great mistake,
and being 50 satisfied it has neglected
no opportunity to urge, in the quarters
where urging would do the most good,
the correction OF the mistake by the re-
lection OF the nominee. The evidences
of Mr.. Dement'S unfitncss to hold Office in
Utah, under a Democratic administration,
long ago became apparent to the members
OF the party resident in this Territory,
and the sentiment has been unanimous
that his retirement from Office was highly
desirable. To be sure, it is no pleasant
thing for Democratic journal to he com
PEELED TO speak thus oi the appontee OF a
Democratic President; but unpleasant
duties will sometimes devolvc upon the
public press, and the general good de-
mands that the performance OF those
duties shall not be shirked. A short
while back the DEMOCRAT promised that
il would not cease its efforts in the direc'
ton of Mr.. Dement'S rejection ol
removal while II hope remained ioi
the attainment OF that end. Thai
contamination has been reached, and
now that the gentleman must soon la,
down the robes OF office and give way t
his successor, we are content, withou
further words, to bid him adieu rs I
