WASHINGTON, August 24.-The re-
lease of Cutting and slime OF the
grotesqus incidents connected herewith
form the subject Of conversation in
town to-day. At the State Department
1t is learned that the release will
scarcely affect the negotiations between
Mexico and this country. Governor
Porter says that two questions are still
open: First, and the most important,
the matter of extra-territorial jurisdic-
ton claimed by Mexico and denied by
this Government; second, the inden.
nifty of 10000 asked by Cutting, and
which, after the other question has been
settled, may be insisted on by the
United States. There is no sympathy
anyw here for the fellow who is the
cause of the rumpus. lie has shown
himself to be destitute of oil manly
principles and to be only selfish aud
narrow.minded adventurer Of the low
est class.
Nothing is said Of the Arresures case.
1t is believed, however, that the Gov
eminent will insist upon the punish
ment of the monster, Mondragon, who
invaded the State of Texas, took away
by force an American citizen, and shot
him in the most cowardly and brutal
manner.
Judge Holman was asked to-day If
he was treasured aud altogether salts
fed by the news he had from Indiana.
"Well," said he, the matter stands
about thus: am not wholly pleased,
of course, with the outlook to-day, but
I have assurances that everything will
be arranged satisfactorily in two or
three weeks" / understand that a
compromise which has been pending
for several days is likely to result in
favor of the Democratic party. No I'M
easiness is apparently felt by the lead
ers here. -.
A virginian who has closely watched
the contest in the Alexandra district
says that no step looking to change
in the status has been taken so far as
he is aware. He has excellent oppor-
tunities for observation. This gentle
man thinks that the voting will DO re-
sumed Just as it left off, and that there
are positively no developments. To all
appearances the respective forces are
arrayed as before.
