the release of Cutting at this stage would
change anything but the personal comfort
of Mr.. Cutting. 49,,
It was not so much question of the
personal liberty of Cutting rs the broad
at stake between the two gov
and as he understood the court
had expressly affirmed the validity OF the
law, which Secretary Bayard has plainly
said that the United States could never

the point would come up again on ques-
ton ofindemnity, which he thought would
have to be paid.
The verdict in the case of the
eight anarchists, who have for over
two months been upon trial in Chica-
90 for the Haymarket massacre, on
the night of the 4th of May last, re-
sulting in the death of sseven police
men and the wounding of many more,
by the throwing of a dynamite bomb
by the accused, has at last been rem
dered. Of the eight men placed on
trial seven are to be44hanged, and one
goes to the penitentiary for fifteen
years. Those who will suffer the death
penalty are: August Spies, Michael
Schwab, Samuel Fielder, Albert R.
Parsons, Adolphe Fischer, Geo. En-
gel and Louis Lingg - Oscar W.
Neebe is the name of the one to 60 to
the penitentiary. The verdict is APP
proved of by everyone, as it should be,
and may teach these wretches who
come to America to do their hellish
deeds a lesson-one which will not
soon be forgotten.

New ORLEANS,
Aug. 10, 1886.
An editorial appeared in last Saturdays
Picayune which reflected upon my perfor-
nance of certain duties connected with
the position Of Secretary of State, held by
me, in relation to the expenditure of mo-
ney for tickets. If the facts were as sta
ted by that paper, would be justly con-
demned, but rs it is my purpose at the
earliest possible moment to explain the
matter, ask suspension of opinion un-
til cannot correct the errors and vindi-
cate myself Sickness in my family alone
causes any delay in the full explanation
shall lay before the public.
