This is the Demoaratio idea of ro- trenchment and reform. Cut off tho foes of - starveling Consuls and gorge themsslves al tho public cxpense | e ——— It would seem that tho Now York ocenn vleamship lines aro in league with Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore to take away the grain trado of the metropolis, A large qnan- tity of com ix now in New York awaiting shipmont to Europe, and the stcamship companics, taking advantage of this faot, a3 well as the obligations entsred into by the New York Central Railrosd to set down the grain in Liverpool at a spocified freight-rate, have doubled thoir charges, and no choico is Jeft but to pay the enormous tariff or leaye tho corn in store. — e The man of small staturo aud the man of emall soul had another tussle yesterday, and, a3 usual, little Jomvnx Davevronr told his story in his own way, and in the way that was not Banvey Cavirrrin's way. Little ns ho wag, he was too big with honesty and cour- g0 to bo browbeaten or intimidated by the Bridgeport blusterer, and what be hsd to tell he told as it wns, and not as the Demo- cratic Committoemen would like to hear it. ~ Bo {ar from being recosant, ho was altogeth. er too communicative, and Basver had better givo him up a8 an unmanageable witnesa, — Three Congressional District Conventions were held in Massnchusetts yesterday for the slaction of delogates to Cincinnati. In the Becond and Fourth Distriots tho machine was smashed and dolegatea ohosen who, though unpledged and uninstruoted, are known to be in thorough accord with the rapidly-sproad- ing movement for Bristow and Reform. In tho Sixth, Bry Borren's bailiwick, the ma- thine was sucosssful in clecting two Branve delegates, Jous G, Warrrien, the poot, an enthusiastic Bristow man, was defeated by Hesny Oantes, o staunch Butlerito and machinist. L sary to carry into effoct the recont decision of the United Btates Bupremo Court, and to effectually sot- Uo the Omaha bridga controversy, is now pending beforo the House Committee on Pacific Railronds. 1t is in the form of a bill prohibiting the Union Pacitio Railroad from charging any higher rate of toll for the trans- portation of freight or passengers across the bridge than is charged for an oqual dis- tauce over any other portion of the road ; in other words, it declares tho bridge to be a part of the railroad, and Council Bluffs to be the castorn terminus, —— ‘The Houso Committco on Civil Service Reform is to tako up the story about the Chicago Pension Agency to the effect that Miss Bweer paid considerablo sums of money to United States Marshal Caxenery in order to retain her position s Pension Agent, and that she wns also axsessed for the benefit of Ler predecessor, Mr. DAvip Braxzwy, or Lis creditors, 'The original story connccted tho nome of Senator Loaan with the transace tious, but this part of it was promptly denied by Gon. Loaay, Miss Sweer, and Mr. Braxe. Ly, all of whom united in declaring that the lkinois Bonator was guiltless of the conduct alleged. These denials, howover, did not iuclude Marshal Casrnery, and Miss Sweer bas been sunuaoued before the Cowmitteo to tell ull about it S —t— A bheavy reduction iu tho appropristion for the Navy Departmont hns been detormined upon by the Bub.Committee baving the mat- ter under considoration. The Department estimatos for the coming fissul yenr were 17,000,000, but this will be pared down to 212,800,000 by 1acans of a carcful and intel- ligent systemn of cconomy, to which for the most part Becretary Iloseson nusents, A great deal of useful information concerning the munngement of the Navy Dopartment has resulted from the suarching investigation of tie Mouss Cowmitlee, which has been stir- xizys up that brauch of the service for suveral montha. They failed to establish charges of corruption sgainst the Secretary, but they succeedod in exposing numerous abuses which needed reforming, and which will in great mensure be sbolished and rendered im. pousible by the reductions contemplated in the aunual appropristio: The Chicago produce markets were goner- ally active yesterday, though less so than on "fuesday, and were steadier. Aoss pork losed 800 per brl higher, at $20.50@20.52§ for May and $20.67}@20.70 for June, Lard «closod G por 100 Ibs_higher, at 12.17) for My and §12.80 for Junc, Meats were J@je pes b higher, st 7jc for boxed shonlders, 10{c for do short ribs, aud 110 for do short clears. Lake freights were easier, ut 3jo for wheat to Buffalo. Highwines were stoady, at §1.07 per gullon. Flour was unchanged. Wheat closed o lower, ot Y6]c for May and 98} for June. Carn was unchanged, closing at 440 for Muy and 4640 for July. Oats were Jo lower, clos. ing at 2070 for May and 80}o for Junv, Ryo was easior, at G61}@62¢. Barley was j@le higher, olosing nt 62je for May nnd 580 for June. Hogs wore active at Tuesday’s declino, solling at $6.00@7.10 for common to prime. Qatile wore activo aud firmer. Bheep wore quict. One hundrod dollars in gold would buy $112.87} in greonbacks at the close, ] Another wholesome onforcement of the lesson of implicit obedience to the orders of the Courts was administered yesterday by Judge Brovorrr, in the caso of Mr. O. L. Breaves, Buporvisor of the Town of Walnut, Buronu County, Iil,, who had refused to obey o writ of mandamus directing him, togother with his associates in the Town Board, to allow = claim ngainst thetown for interest on railroad.aid bonds. A large number of suita Lave been brought within tho past year or two to collect interest on bonds issued in aid of various rnilronds, and the nsual proceed- ing has beon, as no oxceution can be issued againet o municipality, to have the town andit the clim and lovy & tax to pay it. In somo cnses the Town Boards have resigned rather than allow such claims, and in others they hinve refusod until compolled to obey by a writ of mandamus. In the present instance the Town Suporvisor refused compliance oven after a mandamus had been issued, and Judge Bropoeir promptly fined him 400 for contempt, Only a day or two ngo two persons ‘in Ohi- cago wore sont to jail for willful and delib- erate disobedienco of au injunction, and it is nbout time the understanding became gon- oral that court mandates are not to be triflad with. < To the stupid and blundering malice of an Tllinois Copperhead Congressman the coun- try stands indebted for the occagion and the provocation which ecalled forth the splendid defonse which Mr. Monton yesterday deliv- ered in the Senate in reply to the charge of frnud and misappropriation in the expendi- turo of the sum of -§250,000 advanced by the Government to enable the then War Govern- or of Indinna to carry Yorward military ope- rations in that Btate, If the New York World hod not published the charge, and if Sraixa- £8, of Illinois, had not et on foot an inves- tigation by his Committes, Mr. Monzon's groat fpeech of yesterdny would not have coms justin time to forcibly admcnish the people of the United Btatos of the character and sotecedents of the men and the party who are engsged in an attempt to secure possession of the Government. Mer, Mor- ToN's record as War Governor of Indiana for itself noeded neithor defense nor vindication, but the nation needed it, and his political cnemics committed a fatal blunder when they provoked tha terrible exposure of Cop- perheadinfamy which formed a conspicuous part of his greatspecch. Senator MoDoxaLp may falfill his promise to reply to this scath. ing armignment of his party in Indiana, but ho can nover hope to overcoma the damaging offect of the truths snd proofs which his colleagne yestarday laid beforo the world. — THE CANDIDATES TN 1876, Tne Trinung has pointed ont the probable nomination of Mr. Trroex for President by the Democratic Convention at St. Louis, and that this nomiantion would be forced on the party by the double necessity, (1) that no Democratic candidate can be elected Prosi- dent without the vote of the Hiate of New York, and (2) that the only Democratio can- didate who can give any rensonsble hope of carrying that 3tate is Mr, Tmoxx, Under thess circumstances, the nomination of Trr- DEX i3 50 imminent that the Republican party in waking its nomination shoald be governed by the necessity of beating Tinpex in New York, The comment has been mndo on this article that, while the statement that the suceess or defent of the Democratio candidate depends upon his getting the voto of Now York, and that TriLpex is of all other Democrata tho strongest man in that Btate, theé anly fuir conclusion that con bo drawn from these facts is that the Republican Convention shonld nominate Mr. Coxmumg, who, it is claimed, will prove stronger in Now York than any other Republican that can bo named, This is not, taking all tho facts in the case, asafe conclusion, While the vote of New York is easential to the election of n Democrat, this is on the hypothesis that certain other States, viz.: Ohio and In- dianp, shall voto the Republican ticket. The Republican candidate must therefore be a man who will be strong enough to carry Obio in October, hold the Republican majori- ty in other States, and carry the Stato of New York, There is no Republicun in Ohio or Indinna with n thimbleful of brains who Las avy ides that Mr, Coxkriza could carry either Ohio or Indiann, aud the loss of these two States would not ba offset by a victory in New York, even if the Intter was certain, Now York and Pennsylvania do not have an election until November, while Okio and Indiana will bave the preliminary but decisive struggle in October. 'To nomi- nate CoNrrvg and have Indians and Ohio vote for the Democratic ticket in October wouldbe the surrender of the November battle, oven before the olection. In such an event TiLoey, in addition to these two Stotes, would curry New York, and porhiaps other Republican ftates in November. In Ohio the best Republicans claiin that the nomination of Mr. Haves is reqnired to remove all doubt 48 to tho way in which that Btate will vote, Lhere is a concossion, however, in the caso of Bocroetary Brigrow, who, it is admitied, would algo carry Ohio beyond sll reasonuble doubt, While wo claim Ohio as s Republican Ktate, wo donot beliove that Mr. CoNkLing can carry it ns agoinst TiLvey, nor do we think that Indiana will vote for Cowkring oguingt any strong Democratic nominee, Under theso circumstances to nominate the New York Henator, with the morul certaiuty of a Ropublican defeat in both these Statesin October, would be fatal policy. It wonld be equivalent to giving away the Presidential election in sdvance, Gov. Haxes, while certain perhaps of Obio and o fair chance in Indisns, with the moral udvantaga of taking both Btates at the Octo- ber election, would have no strength but the stralght party vote in all the restof the Union ; he would be comparatively a strangor in New York, Now Jerusy, New England, aad on the Pacific Coast. Mr, Congving has no atrength in the Btate of Now York, out- side of the party, as against ‘I1LveN, but elsowhera Lo would betroy a positive wenk. nesd. Mr. Brawve would command the av. erage purty strength in all the States of the Union, aud in some perhaps a little more, but in the great battle-ficlds whercon the contest is to be determined, Ohio, Indisns, Noew York, New Jorsvy, and Counccticut, with the eighty-seven wlectorsl votes depending almost exclusively upon the character of the Oppos. ing candidate, thero should bo nowminated g umfldn?a who, commanding the uudivided support of the party, will, by the forcs of his own record as an honost exeoutive officer, ine spire confidonce on the part of that large multitudo of rospectable poopls of all par- ties who will volo for the hest man, indo- pendent of all party considerations. That candidato is Bxy Brisrow. The next strong- est candidate is Bravze. S —— ~ DEMOCRATIC FIEST GUNS OF THE CAM- PAIGN, The Damoorasy linve oponed the campaign simultaneously in Loulsinna and Indiana. '[ho reports of the fimst guns reached us yes- terdny. In both Statesit was but preliminnry skirmishing along the advanced lines, but the rosnlts were a rignificant forerunner of whot may bo oxpected to follow. In Lonisinna the first gun, of which report eame yostor- dny, was fired in Conshatta Parish, momora- DLle a3 tho theatto of tho strocious massacrs of freedmon, and was a ropeating-rifle, It wns not election-day, but the political effect waa about the game aa follows thoso of the guns fired on election days in TLouisinua sinco tha War. It crented a vacancy on the Ropublican side in the Leg- islature, and ridded the Stats of a corpet-bagger, Scnator Twironrni, Ilis offonse was of precisely the soit to ine vite such fate. He was not only a Republio- an Btate Senator, but—and that was the ag- gravating fontura about it—his term of office would not have oxpired until aftor the Prosi dential olection, a3 ho was ono of the Sena- tors holding over. That fato ho precipitatod by boarding tho forry-boat at Coushalta to' oross the river and neglecting to koep o look- out for, and got out of the range of, the ‘White-Liner on tho othor bank, who, after having quietly ridden throngh the town with hisriflo on his shonlder, in broad daylight ond in full view of the eitizons, to whom of courss ho was *‘unknown,” first shot Twircu- 1y dead; next drow a bead on Twrrcu. rLu's comrmde and brotherindaw, Kiva, who also fell mortally wounded; and to finish tho business, shot tha ne- gro ferryman, but as it wns only a nigger, was carcloss about the aim, and but dangeronsly wounded him. That done, the ‘White-Liner shouldered his riflo and do- parted unmolestod, amidst the suppressed applause doubtless of the bystanders, who, of course, were filled with admiration for the marksman who could 8o nently pick off two Northern men and one nigger on the other shore, wholly unconscions that thoy were his target. Itall only gocs to show that the ‘White-Liners of Louisana have profited by tha oxamplo of thoir follows in Mississippi last fall, and are beginning the slaughter of Northern men and negroes early enough to avoid blood-lotting on election dny, by ex- torminating the lenders and intimidating the survivors bofore the election, so that only ‘White-Lincrs will dare attond tho polls, and o great Democratio victory may bo assured, Thero wns less mothod in the Democratic firing of first guns in Indisna. But the ro- port recalls memories that burn and will thrill with rapture the White-Lino heart, for it comes as proof conclusive that the nncient unterrified Domooracy, that in othor days sorvilely licked the boots of the slave-driver, survives, and is in fall accord with the Whita. Line Democracy of Loulsiana and Mississippi. InIndinna the guns were fired nt “niggers” simply because thoy were niggers, and be- cause of the irropressible longing of the. Do- mocracy of the alave-hunting ora to extermi- nate the freedmen. The loader in the massn- cro wos a Democratic policoman and con- servator of tho peace. The Indianapolis niggora also invited their fata by going to the polls and voting, the lopublican ticket. As they were returning, they were sot mpon by the White-Line Demooracy led by the . Domoaoratic po- liceman. The marksmanship was not quite equal to that of the Coushatta White-Linor, but one nogro wasa shot dend, two were fatally wounded, and a number of others wero shot and stabbed. 'Then, to turn the whole affair into a *‘negro riot,” like those at Yozoo City and elsewhore in Mississipp, the Democratic polico arrested a lot of ne. groes fleeing for thoir lives as riotors, and they were locked up. As in case of the **negro riots " in Mississippi and Louisiaua, no whites wero killed, nor was a white man arrested ; and tho mystery for the Coroner's jury to solve will be how thoso niggors mannged to kill themsolves in such short ordor, The whole was au appropriate open- ing of the Democratic-Confedornte campaign. But, if wo mistake not, theso firat guns fired at Indinnapolis wero discharged altogother too for north of Mason and Dixen's line, and tho effoct will bo to rouso the country to stamp out White-Linoism, North and’ South, forover. — THE INDIANA MAY ELECTION, Bpring fashions in Indiana are decidudly Re- publican. May cleaning in the Hoosier citics on Tuesdny Inst was 80 thorough that the Democracy hins been cleaned complotely ant of sight. It haa been led through u May dance which it will long romember. Indian- apolis lends the van, and is followed up by Laporte, Bouth Bend, Franklin, Wabash, Bhelbyville, Kokomo, Bloomington, Craw. fordsville, Connorsville, Lafsyette, Terre Haoute, Madison, and oven that old Demo- cratic stronglold, Fort Wayne,~all sending in good old-time Republican wmajorities, and electing honest mon in their councils to suo- ceed Denmocratio bunwers and ringsters, who buve held rule so many yoars, Coutrary to goueral expectation, Indianapolis was the seene of the most briliant victory, the Re. publican ticket having boon elected by over 4,000 wajority, and the Republicans having curried cloven out of the thirteen wards, and thus regained their old eacendehioy. Dur- ing thu War, aud for some years after, Indianapolis was a Republicmn vity, but long- continued power produced ity customary re. sults of carclessness, disorganiwation, abuses, and quarrels of factions. The most disastrous novement, howover, waa the adoption of the folly of Probibition, for which tho Repub- licans were hield rowponsible, T'his attempt to regulate by police compulsion vhat the people of Indisnapolis should drink cost the Ropublicans the loss of the whole German voto and a considorablo part of the American, The Democruts wore successful, and, as al. waya happens when Domoerats are sucesss- ful, they degencrated into buwmerism, and tho rascals cume to the surface. Indianupolls ‘was another Chicago, only ou a smallor geala, Last year the Republicans made a determined effort to redous the city from the possession of the thioves and bummors, and partially succeeded. On Tuesday tho work wus com- pleted. Tho lines were vory sharply drawn, Upon the ane side, thu Democracy with their Irish wllies, who poll about 2,000 votes, wero opposed to Republicaus, who were supported by the colored men, and who poll about 1,000 votes. ‘The bitter antipathies of race und color between the two mado the contest # desporate one, and led to h[omhhud. a5 the dispatches bave ulready indicated. On the ano sido was the Democratio party Tepresent- 6d by tlis bummer elemont, the thioves, pimps, vagabonds, saloon.loafers, and gon- eral vagabondage; and, on the other side, tha Republican party, alded by the respoota- ble and law-nbiding clasa of Democrats. The roamlt of the conteat was a complete victory, achieved in the faco of remarkable obatacles, chiof among which was the infamons gerry- mandering ordinance passed by the bummer Council to onable them to rotain their power | by throwing the Ropublican majorities into 8 fow wards and dividing the Domooratio strength among many. ‘Tho bummors failed misorably, however, in their schems, the very wards which they had supposed wero surcly fixed for them going Ropublican by decided majorities. Thers aro several indicationa growing out of this viotory which tho whyfoning man, though a fool, can read without mistake, It shows thot the Rag-Baby party has lost its hold. It indicates that thers is n formidablo section of sound-monoy men. It indicatca that tho poople of Indiana have atood the idiotio notions of monsy which have beon crnmmed down their thronts by the Lanpens. Bucnanan crowd aa long aa they propose to, and that the hard-money Democrats have turned around and acted “with the Ropub- licans. It indicates that the incorrigible Trimmer Hexpsicrs Las lost his grip upon the people of Indinun ; that thoy are disgusted with his Government concerning extradition, Great Britaln must be governed by the terms of tha ‘WensTEn-Asnnuntox treaty ns final, and that this tronty docs not requiro cither Govern- mont to giva the nssurance demanded by tho British Minister in this case. o also argued that no international rule of law can require the United Btates to recognive 4 municipal Inw of any country in contravantion of a treaty., Dut, forther than this, Mr, Fisa also rosted upon a olause of the British act of 1870, which applies the provisions of tho act 4 with the excoption of anything containedin it which is inconsistent with the troatios ro- ferred to in ngh 80 ropealed.” This excep- tion, Bocratary Fisn held, barred the demand mnde by the British Governmoent, It was on theso grounds mainly, and for the purpose of nsserting the dignity of the United Btates Govornment (without necossarily donying tho justico of the principle expreased by the British statuto), that tho demand was per- sistontly xofusod. The rcsult haa beon nn- nouncod. A falr conclusion from the srguments on both gides is that Great Dritain isright in the abatract, but has proceeded in the wrong way. If it was the purpose of tho British Govorn- ment to enforco tho ralo of its recont munio- ipoal law on extradition, then the proper way would have been tomove for the voluntary assont of this Government withoutwaitingto enforce tho domand in any actual caso that two-facodnoss; that they want aman who is | should come up under the treaty; either opouly for or agninst shinplnstors; | or, in liou thercof, to give notico and that thoy look with distrust upon his | 0f tho tormination of this oxtradition clouse of the treaty, which it had the privilege of doing under the treaty, It looked too much like diotation to mnke an ultimatum in the WiNsrow case, and resist. ance was natural, At tho same time, the cor- reciness of the principle cannot bo denied that no man should be obtained from a foreign country for trial on a specifio charge, and then be mado to auswer on an entircly different charge, and one porbaps not in- cluded in the list of offenses coverod by the torms of tho extradition trealy. Good sonse and mutunl interests will now suggost a movement on both sides to eonclude s more comprehonsive treaty which shall enlarge the number of offenses for which extradition can be demanded, and containing the condition sot forth 1n the British law of 1870, and now gencrally recognized by all nations. The TUnited Btotes cannot afford to set up an asylum for English convicts, and Canada is too near and affords too easy nn escape for American oriminals to forego the advantages of an extradition treaty, If a new and moro intelligont treaty shall result from this con- troversy, it may yot be made to turn to mutual advantage. conneetion with the water-bond corruptions, This indication is specinlly emphasized by tho voto of Bhelbyville, his own town, which elocted the Republican ticket by & handsome majority. i 1t indicates that the peoplo of Indiana are dissatisfied with the sction of the Confed- erate party in Congross, and in this they ro- flect tho genoral sentiment of the peoplo in ovory Northern State. The rosult of the In. dinna clootion is an indictment of that party, It oharges them with baving accomplished nothing in the last six months, atter all their protostations and promises of reform; that with a two.thirds mnjority they have failed to pass a singlo measure of legislation noeded by the country; that their investigations have been shown to bo false and malicious, reaching only a few subordinate clerks and contractors, with the excoption of Penpre- ToN and BrrNar, and that thoy have ro- coiled upon the hends of the investigators themsolves and involved lending Democrata ; that they havo squandered tho public monoy for profligato partisan purposes; that thoy hiave passod but two bills of any gecount, one of which promises to ruin our foreign Diplomatic and Consular sorvice, and the other a profligats River and Harbor bill, wasting millions of dollars, More important than all else, it indicates that Indiana can no longer be considered a very doubtful State in the Btate olection of noxt Octobor. It removes her from that ocategory, and indicates with the utmont cor. tainty thot either Brisrow, Braine, or Mon- TON can carry it. It foroshadows the elec- tion of Mr. Onrm for Gevernor in Qctober, and of the Ropublican olectoral ticket for Presidont in November, if the Republicans of the Stato do their duty. ——— ABROGATION As arosult which has been apparont for some days past, it may be noted that tho Democratic House bhas awarded Mr, Ly Moyng the sent for the Third District in place of Mr. Farwers, who has held it until this time. The morits of tho case have boen disonssed over and over agnm, If the Hatch Houso precinct of the Twontioth Ward had been thrown out for fraud, as it ought to havo been, Farwers would have rotained his sent. But the Houso contonted itself with climinating the votes claimed to have been fraudulontly cast for Famwewn in that precinet, and nllowing tho pauper voto of tho Poor-Houso to bo counted for Lz MovNy, and on this showing seated the latter by a party vote. Mr. Lz MoxNe was given his seat as o Democrat, but the Democrats will probably be disappointed if they expoct him to be whipped into all their scandalous party trans- Aotions. Wo do not believe Mr. Lx Movnk in ““that kind of a man; * besides, ho never wus vory much of a Domoorat, and wo doubt whether he over votod a straight Democratic ticket in his life, though he ncted with the GrerLey Ropublicans four years ngo, when ho also ran for Congross against Mr. Fan- WELL, and wns dofented. As Mr, Farwern loses his soat, Chicago loses a very officient Congressman. Not being a publie speaker, Mr, Fanwery nevor took a conspicuous place in the publio eye in Congress, but he was an excellent *working member,” n man of good judgment, conservative notions, and faithful dovotion to the interests of Chicago. The threo Ropublican distriots of this county are now roprosonted by:.dwo Confederntes and one Grererey Domocrat. Next fall this mis- ropresentation will be correoted. OF THE EXTRADITION TREATY WITH ENGLAND, Tt must be admitted by both tho English and the Amerleans, without rogard to the rel. ative morits of tho controversy, that tho ab- rogation of tho extradition treaty, which has grown out of the Wrxsrow casa, is most un- fortunato for the cause of justioo in both countries. It is not a complimentary com- mont on tho temper or judgment of either Governmont that two great nations, speaking the same langaage, of the same voice and litoraturo, with a largo strotch of contiguous torritory, and claiming the highest position in .clvilization and tho scienco of politics, should hold such relations to oach other as mutually to exclude the surronder for trial of porsons indicted for heinous offeuses, Yet this is precisoly tho condition of affairs con- sequent upon the formal abrogation of the oxtradition clauso of the WensTen-Asmnun. TN treaty of 1842, Grent Britain having dis- charged the forger Winarow, against whom it was admitted thero wos o prima facie case of a crime included in the treaty, of course thero remained nothing for the representatives of this Government to do except to give & formal notification of tho abandonmont of the treaty, Auy dif- ferenco ns to tho merits of the case must bo basod on the action of the Government prior to this notice ; and whether the British Gov. ernment or the United States Govornmont wore at fault can best bo determined by an impartial roview of both sides of the contro- versy. ‘The English Parliament, after along and eareful oxamination of the general question of extradition, which had boen intrusted to such ominont men as Mir, Fomsten, 8ir Ropenr Corvrzm, and others, passed alaw in 1870 adopting the French rulo of praoctice, oxpressed in the following terme : A fugitive criminal sball not be surrendered o a foreign Blato unless provision &4 mado by the law of that Btato, or by arrangement, that the fugitive crim- all not, until 1o hes boen restored or bad an opportunlty of returning to Yur Majesty's dominions, bodetalued or tried fn that forclgn Btate for sny offenss committod prior tohis wurrender other than tho extradilion crimae proved by the facta on which tho surrender ia grounded, When Winstow had beon apprehonded, and a prima fuce cuio mode out against him for forgery, for which his gurrender had been demonded, tho British Government, under this luw, demanded a guaranteo that, it surrendered, ha should not be tried for any other offenso than forgery, Becrotary Fsu deolined to give any such assurance, partly because no such guaranteo is required by the Wrusrer-Asununton treaty, and partly bocause it is the practice of the Courts, under our form of Government, to assert their control of & prisoner who has lawfully como into their posscssion withont consult. ing the Fxccutive of the uation, But the British Government still porsisted in the de. mand for the guarantee, not only by virtue of oy right conferred by thelr municipal law of n Inter date than that of the treaty, but on account of the justico of the principle fn. volved, and the nlleged violations that had been mado of this principlo. It was held by tho British authorities that, though not ex. prossly sot forth in the Wensrem.-Asu- vueToN treaty, this principle was jm. plied, inaswuch as certain crimes wero defined for which extradition could Le demanded, while other erimes were owit- ted from tho enumoration, It was also held that this principle had recelved iutornstional rucognition, und there was no valid reason why the, United Btates Government should rofusa to adwnit it by giving the assurance re- quested when it would be manifestly wrong to consirug the torims of the troaty in any other way, Ou the part of America, Becrotary Fian hos argyad that, in its relations with this | And now comes ** Uncle Jorxy Winnraus,” ‘who nspires to ba the Democratie Govornor of Indiana (bocause his brecches aro butter- nut-colored, woars a dirty shirt, and squirts tobacco juice upon the carpots), aud requests Bramoen, of IMinois, not to iuvestigate MonTon's War accounts, * bocanse the reviv- ing of this old story will elect Onra Gov- emnor by tho largest majority aver known in that Btate.” Uncle Jnmy Wrnnws, with Lls tobaceo juice running down his chin, has the sense to &ce what Benmvarn can not, that an investigation will not only show that MontoN has satisfactorily nc- counted for all the monoy borrowed to malntain the Btato credit in fitting out troopa during the Inte .** misunderstanding,” a4 wos shown long ago, but also that he was compelled to borrow this money on account of the determination of tho Copperhead majority in the Legislature that the State of Indinng, undor the advice of IleNpRioks, should not coutribute a cont of mouey ora man for tho defonse of the Union, The Democrata in Congross bave already had an ox- perionceof this sort when Banxey OaurvieLp invited thom to go out and seo a roed shaken by the wind. Tustead of witnessing the Pres. ident caught in the toils, they found that lit- tle Jounny Davenront had spoiled thoir game by placing their own monstrous corruptions on record and exposing it to the whole coun- try. They have no stomach for auything more of this sorl, and are tired of playing with boomerangs, Towover, if the virtuous Benivoen, of Illinols, really thinks Montox is & thief, he ought to go ahoad:and investigate him, whethor it will elect Ontn ornot, Old Mr. Witrtass’ butternut breeches and tobao- co-quids ought not to stand in the way of Domocratlo reform ‘The Chicago mackineorgan of corruption professca to be disgusted at the suggestion that Tirpey will bo nominated by the Demo- eratic party, and, arguing that ke is the weoakest man personally and politically, ad- vises the Democracy not to nomiuate him, Cortainly if TrLoen be the wenkest Domocrat who can be nominated for President, tho Ro- publican paper which puts party succoss be- foro all other things ought to be ploased and gratified that the Democracy should nomi- uate & mon who can be so easily dufeated. Instead of advising the Democrats mot to nominate TiLpex, the mackine organ ought to urge hiy selection, and thus, according to ita own theory, make the election of the Re~ publican candidato a certainty, But the nominstion of Tuozx wil mot bo a weak onej it will be precisely that nomination which will be succossful or not snoocesful as the Cincinnat! Convention may decide by its selocion of a candidnte. Bhonld the Cincinnati Convention nominate A mero party man, ono whose nomination will be due to the successful oporation of the rotten and corrupt Civil Bervice, then Tt DEN'S nomination will bo equivalont to his olootion. It is the knowladgo of thin fact which inspires tho sdvice that the Domo- orata do not nominnto Tieoen, The corrup- tionists and tho machine politiclans want to nemiunte o ropresentativa of their own class at Cincinnati, and they do not want a man liko T1oxy to be nominnted by the Demo- oratic party who will smash the wholo ma- chino combination to pieces, Thero & not an ofiicial thiof in the land, nor an organ of theirs, who does not dread the nomination of Bnistow at OCincinnati or Tioex at Bt Louls, Ience the pitcons appeal that Tir.

The small-changefamine grows in interest, aod the pig-headod House of Raprosentatives refuses to do anything to roliove tho scareity, which is injuring everybody, Pawne, of Clovoland, Ohio,, offered n bill from the Committeo on Banking and Currency author- izing the Becratary of the Troeasury to issus ten millions of the surplus idlo silver in the Sub-Treasury in oxchange for greenbacks. It required unanimous consent to introduce the bill, butonoe of the Rog-Babyites objootod, and the motion was defoated. « A Washing- ton dispatoh says: 1t {2 malninined boro thiat Becrotary Barazow has already tho necensary power, If he choss Lo oxercise it, to pravont any further famino, and to relisve the country by paying out, in exchangs for legal-tenders, or to mest the daily disbursoments of the Depsrtment, the $3,000,000 in allver coln which was on hand on Jan, 14, 1876, when the Boecla Reaumption act becsma alaw, and which waa entored into tho books as so mitch ready money, tho same sa legal-tondor notos, This silver caln was not iucluded in the provisions of that act, snd tho Becretary can fmaue it, fn logal- tonders, {£ he thinks proper, sud use thess for buying more slvar, 10 bo again paid out in liko mauner, Tho neceaslly for doing somothing promptly i fully recog- nized st the Department, but whother the Socretary will usa bis nutliority to pay out tiiia $3,000,000 in all~ vor {a yet undetormined, If tho Sooretary hna the authority here stated, he should lose no timo in exorcising it.

The double murdor yestordny morning was an occurrence of a shooking charncter. The young wifo whose briaf married lifo bad been a continued unhappiness ended her Inbors and struggles, Ler love and her misery, in suddon death, inflicted by her unworthy husband. Tho only oxtonuating circum- stanco in this mau's infamous proceedings was that ho rid socioty of a monster by kill- ing himself. Those two persons woro intel- ligent, hard-working, und saving. They both toiled laborionaly, ond their joint savings wero doposited in bank. Jealousy, aad it reoms wholly unfounded on any facts, proved atronger than all olso, and the evidently be- crazed husband deliberntely shot and killed tho wife as she Iny in her bed. It docs not soom likely that he had awakened her or had any words with her. Aftor killing her, he carried his bank-books to his mother-in-law and roturned to his home. Placing himself on the bed, near his murdered wife, ho put an end to his own life,—ridding socioty of a momber no longer fit for any purpose than to be hauged. The example set by this man may b well followed by sll other murderors, The London I'fies hos made tho very sen. rible suggestion that tho staff of tho British Minister at Washington shall always be strengthonod by an nssistant sent from Otta- wa, with spocial reference to an intelligent sdjustment of the numerons questions which arige affccting only Canadn and the United States, in which Englaud hna no direct intor~ est.
