The American consul, Brigham, at Paso del
Norte will undoubtedly be called upon to resign
by Secretary Bayard, Immediately after Special
Envoy Sedgwick has completed his mission.
and made his report to the State Department.
Some one has got to be sacrificed, and as the
State Department Is daily growing stronger in
the belief that the facts in the case were not
fairly and impartially given by Mr.. Brigham, it
is necessary to ask his resignation. Whatever
may have been the errors of others, it has been
decided at the State Department that Brigham
must go.n Long before the Cutting case arose
Brigham was known a sensationalist, and
had on two or three occasions. contributed
largely to border sensations for the newspapers
at Ell Paso, when there were few facts upon
which to base them. A petition was received a
few days ago at the State Department, signed by
a number of the most prominent citizens of Paso
del Norte, asking for his removal This, how
ever was hardly necessary, as it was purposed
to have this done, though the petition may serve
to precipitate the call for the resignation.

THE people of Cochise county are indeed patient and long suffering. For the past two weeks the County Court has been in session, grand and trial jury were empaneled,- what-simply to.try the cases Of some parties who were confined in jail or out on bail, charged w,th criminal offenses, and what hasit amounted to. That incompetent individual who holds the office of District Attorney of this county, appeared before he grand jury and procured several indictments. The parties so indicted where then brought into court and arraigued, and placed on trial, and after the District Attorney had presented his case 1t was evident in every instance that no conviction could be had, and th2t fact has been borne out in every instance, the jury after few minutes absence have returned a verdict of not guilty This term of court will not cost the county less than $1,500, and not a single conviction has been made. Citizens have been brought from their homcs in distant parts of the county to serve as grand and trial jurors, and for what-simply to gratify an incom- potent District Attorney, who should have been kicked out of the office long ago, both for incompetency and immortality.
