This, however, does not sottle the question of the transfor, which will come ap in another form inthe House bill, al- rendy passed, which provides for the chaunge as an independent proposition. The nomination of Haves and Wrrreen was ratified last evening by the Republicaus of Chicago in mmnse-meeting at deCormiclk all, and all that is now nveded to set the campnign £airly afoot i3 a hond to hit on the other side, Speeches were made by SipNey Swura, Emroy A, Srtonnd, and others, and the ratifieation was henrty and enthusinstic. The resignation of Comptroller H.aves was handed in yesterdny, and the only surprise was that it had not beon done thirty days ngo. It would have saved the city much embarrnssment and delay, sud spared the members of the Council the unplensant duty of providing for his arbitrary dismissal. The uomination of Mr. Farwrrn will lead to an humediato arrangement of the city finances, 1ad tho relief of the long uncmployed ser- rants of the city. — Ald, Huonern has had the grace and good sense to tender his resiguation es n mem- ber of the Common Council, thereby roliov- ing that body of the performanco of an wu- pleasant duty. While the Iate Aldermnn from the Sovonth Ward is nnquestionably a “representative man " 1 his party, and as tuch is intensely ndmired by tho Winrres and Lrxoacncns of the Council, he has ceased to pe a ‘‘representative man” since the lnst municipal clection so radically nitered the - tomplexion of the Common Council, and aig retiremont is o matter of congratulation lo the Soventh Ward, to himself, and to the sity ot large. Somo iden of the troublo in store for T~ oEN at 8t. Louis may bo gained from inter- riows with Avevstos Senetn and Joms Kewvy, who, as members of tho Now York dulegation, are bont upon the defeat of tho thoico of the majority in their dclegation. Porceiving the necessity of carryiug Ohio and Indiann in Octobor, Messrs, Scuery nnd Kervy entertain o preference for Hesnricks, and they do not nttempt to conceal their purpose toleave no stone unturned and no srgumoent unused to convinco the 8t, Lonis Convention that the nomination of Tiupry would be a genuino disastor to the party in New York. Anybody to beat TiLozy is their motto, bo the same Judge Davis, Gen. an- tock, Jorrn Panxer, Scnator Bavamp, or whomesoover they can uso to accomplish the dcsirod object, Ald MoAuvrey yesterdny introduced in the Common Council an ordinance reducing tho pay of tho Police Department, commencing with the Superintendent, and covering the sntire forco. 'The average rato of tho pro. posed reduction is about 15 per eent through. out, and o saving of betweon 100,000 (o 200,000 per annuin wonld bo offected, At tho rate provided for in the ordinanco the policeraen wonld still be paid liberally, receiving a considerably higher amount for ayear's sorvico than skillod mechanics aro ablo to earn. Tho ordinance is in tho inter- est of economy, o4 is aléo the appointment of a 8pecial Committoee to inquire and report upon similar measures of retrenchment in the Board of Public Works aud Health De- partment, and, when the new Council sliall bave got fairly to wark, it will doubtless ap- Ply & corresponding rate of reduction to the tlaries paid to ull the city's employes, ————— The Chlc;go produce murkets were gen- orally easler yestordny and breadstuffs wero less nctive, Mess pork closed 4Uc per Lrl lower, at $18.60@18,62} for July and §18.824 @18.85 for August.

Ono hundred dollars in gold would boy 8112.37} ingreenbacks at the close. Thero is n more hopoful feoling in Wash- inglon rospecting the probability of an carly adjournment. The ITouse has entered upon tha considerationof tha Sundry Civil bill, the last of the twelvenppropriation bills, which has been roportod in a condensed form, and is expected to pass the ITouse this weok, There is also n prospect that the approptin- tious dend-Jock will be terminated by means of concesslons on the part of the House majority, it being held by many of the Democrats that a relne- tamv and enforced scqyuiesconce in the increased approprintions insisted upon by the Sennto will rerve ns well as con- tinued obstinnoy for political eapital, and that the Democrats will get tho crodit of good intontions in tho matter of rotrench- ment. 'Then, too, the outicok is favorablo for a speedy disposition of tho impeachmont trinl, 80 that it will be possible for both Iousos to adjourn in a month from this time. Neither the greenbnckers nor tho whisky thieves, both of whom rejoiced at the an- nouncement of Svcretary Bnistow's retire- ment, have much renson o congratulate themselves on the selection of his successor. Alr. Lor M. Monnir, for many years United Stotes Sonntor from Maine (which position e now vacates), hasbeen nominated and con- firmed, and has accepted thoe appointment. Mr. Monrtun is an uncompromising hard- monoy man, and a man of tho bighest char. acter, Ho will, thereforo, put forth every effort to maintain Seeretary Bristow's policy, and thero is little dangor that the rovenuo service will relnpse into its former corruption and imbeeility, Mr, MorniLL's term as Seu- ator would expire in any ovout on March 4 next, aud it has beon understood for soma timo that Mr. Jaxes G, Braise wonld be his successor; but whethor or not Mr. Brams will care to fill out by appointment Mr Monnir's unexpired term is probably a mat- ter of considernble interest to tho ex-Confed- erates in the House of Representatives. THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK. The nomination of Hayrs and WireLen hes changed tho outlook of the Prosidentinl vote. It hins removed Ohio from tha list of doubtful States, and fixed it in tho e~ publican column, It has also removed all doubt as to Nevada, New Jersey, and Colora- do, and has given new life to the now united Republicans in the States of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Oregon hay alrendy gone Republican. Hefore the nomi- nationof IIaves, the Demoerats looked con- fidently to earrying both Oblo and Indiann in October. Ohio is irrevoeably loat, and Indiana is reduced to a mero chance, depend. ent on the nomination of Heypricrs, whilo that nominntion will result in having Now York vote Republican, The present clagsifi- cation of the States mey be thus stated: BYPUBLICA! uEwocnizics e o0 Towa..,. . Kuusus, . Malne.... . Atchigan 11 Maryland Minnesots insourl. New derucy New Hamphhire.. Onio. Ivenla T Sonth Car Vermont Wlsconsl: TOUBTPUL STATRA, 45 Misafeinpl,. + 15 Louslana Necewwary for s cholce, itepublican Statcs, cerfain Democratic States Doubtful....... The delogation from Califormia at Cincin- nati oxpressed themselves confidently, .nd all that lins been henrd from that State since is to the sume effect, that the nomination of Tlayes would unite the whole Republican party, and that California may safely be counted for the Republican candidates, In Louisiana thero is a Republican majority on o fair count of 20,000, nud in Mississippi o majority of 85,000, If the Administration will sco to it that the proper precautions nre takon and tho legul machinery provided to enforco the laws, and thereby securo en honest election, "both of these States will cortainly vote for Ilaves and Wnrereg, This leaves but Indisna and New York in the list of doubtful States. If Mr. HeNpuicks bo not on the Democratic tickot, Indiana will give ITaves 15,000 wajority in October, nad, having thus settled aud determined the re- sult of tho election, New York amnd Counnecti. cut and probubly Maryland will add their votes to swell the Rtepublican majority, giv- ing Hares between two-thirds and thrce- fourths of the whole electornl vote, It will bo seen that the Democratio candi- dato must roceive all the votes put down in the list of Demoerntic States, and also the votes of Louisiann, Missiasippi, Indiana, and New York, to ba elected. Ilo cannot spare avoto. Indinua is as essential as Now York, and the loss of evou California or Connocti- out will be fatal, ‘Tho nomination by the §t. Louis Conven- tion will determine which of theso Btates tho Democratic candidnte will lose. No mautter who may be nominated, there will bo no chango in tho 180 votes which are certain for tho Ropublican enndidate. 'The rojec- tion of TrLoexy will be eynivalent to un abandonment of New York, &nd, conse. quently, of the campaign; while the rejec- tion of Hexonics will bo the surrender of Tudians to the topublicans without o serious contest, aud withit the wholo election. ‘The rather improbable union of Hexpnicxs and ‘Tieory on the same ticket may have the effect of inspiring Democrutic hope and pro- longing the contest, but, on such o ticket, the two candidates would neutralize one an. other und render defeat certain. Any other candidates thun Tripey and Hexonicks will Lo cquivalent to surrender of tho election to Haves and Waertse. Whichever way tho Democrats may arrunge their ticket, the outlook for tho election of IHayes and Wageren is not only promising, but ex- cludes tho possibility of defcat. — Somebody writes to Tnx Tnrnuxe laying upon it the wholo blame for tho presont seareity of small change, because Tuk Txin- uxz fuvored tho substitution of silver coin for the fractiouxls as soon as thero had been an equalization of values which could keep the silver, once out, in circulation, All this {is very silly. Tux T'mwuse s not to blame becauss a good thing was done in such # bungling way a4 to make it appenr for the timo being & bad thiug. Congress is to blame for this. The Democratic House ro- fused an appropristion to print $5.000,000 of new fractionals which might have been issued for tho same amount of old and worn frnc- | the country since the closs of tho War ns he tionals that have dropped ont of civenintion. This same Congress has also defiyed tho pasange of & bill for exchanging what silver there {8 on hand for groenbaocks, whicl in turn enn Lo exchanged for fractionals, thos facilitating tho transfer. Lill will probably become a law within n fow days (it having passed the Honse and heen reported in the Benate), and this will afford considerable relicf. Meanwhile some £:,000,- 000 more of silver has been issued than the nmount of fractionals retired, ns tho Sec- retary of the Trensury has paid out about {hnt amount on Government orders against the T'ronsury, Tha strain comes partly on nccount of the folly of tho people in hoard. ing fractionnls for exchango, but mainly be- cause the Democratic Congress has refused leglslation that might Lave averted the stall.chango famine without otherwise nffect- ing the condition of the currency. The Dest indication of relief, howevor, is in tho fact that o large part of tho silver already in circulation is the old coin which ling come in from Canada, from Californin, ont of old stockings, ete., which shows that the peoplo have made up their minds at last that silver isno longer worth hoarding. —— "' SHINPLASTER SANM.

There wero tifty-cight companios engagod in tho manufacture of the *eurrency,” the re- turns of six of which are thus stated: AMOUNT I1SSUED, Calumet.., ... Tron CHfE (Tilden's) New York (Tilden's).

At the samo timn, tho rev- enue officers bogan to demand tho internal revonuo tnx, aud began to take evidence ns to the amount in circulation. The tax was 10 por cent, and for the twelve yoars amount- ed to ot least $10,000,000. But, by some secret manipulation, a bill was smuggled through Congress on tho night of March 3, 1875, remitting this tax, except for the last year, Ilere was the apostlo of hard money talking nnd writing to tho peoplo npon the destructive demoralization of paper money, nnd pointing out the glories of hard money, while for twelve years ho was rnning two mills for the mnuufacture of rag monoy, and palming it off on the miners as better than gold. Up in Michigan ho took the broad yround that the paper issued by himself wos a3 good, it not better, than the greenbacks, 5431 also had wevornl stores in tho neighbor- hood of his mixes, whero groceries, and dry goods, and n variety of other nrticles were for sale, and Saxc mado his notes logal-tender in exchango for thesa goods, 1lis notes be- ing legal-tonder only at Lis own stores, the unfortunate holders had to mako all their purcheses from TinneN, who thus pocketed a hinndsomo extra profit on the salo of his wares. And thia is tho Reformer! RETIREMENT OF SECRETARY BRISTOW. We doubt whether auy public otticer for these many years hins received so goneral and henrty an acknowledgment of his sorvices ns has Bessaaay H. Buistow on vacating tho Secrotaryship of the Trensury. Thero hay beon no dissent from these tributes, and no omission to pay them, except in thoso circles infected by tho whisky thioves. All agree in commending his great work of break- ing down the most formidable cnnspirncy over organized to rob the Governmout, but the Naw Yorle Times properly oxtols his mod- caty, and truly says that *In the midst of in. fluences not wholly favornblo to n strictly honorable adminiatration of his oftico, ho has nover perveorted his grent powers to his own purposes or usod thom for sny but the pub- lic service.” The New York 7'ribune rcca- pitulates his services, and adds that his ad- ministration Lng also been distinguished * by giving the world n conspicuous example of otlicinl purity, and proving that a high senso of honor and duty is not always want- ing in our publio functionaries” The Now York Frening Post says that he *quits his ofiico with a reputation that is worth mora to such & man as ho than any po- litical suceess could bo; ho has not only os- cnped stain, but has done muck to removo stains from tho national fame.” Tho Spring- feld Repubdlican says that he bay endeared himsolf to the entire peoplo not only by ** his pluck aud constancy, his readiness to take personal risks in their cause, his fortitudo under discouragements and rovorses, and the bull-dog tenacity of his grip," but alsa by the *‘raro discrotion aud modesty with which he has Lorne his lnurels,” Such testimonials conld be added by the score, ‘Thero is n disposition, novertheless, to find somo politicul significance in Seerotary Bris- Tow's retirement now, and in many quartors it is ottributed to uncomfortable personal rolations with the President. Wo do not beliove there is auy good ground for such an assumption. Not but that the attorneys aud ngents of the Whisky Ring have made desporate aud ingenious eforts to create dis- sonsion between Prosident Guaxt and tho ex- Becretary, but it is to the crudit of both that these attempts have not buen permittod to succeed. The President hua never by word or action intimated his regrot that ho discov- cred o mon with suflicient courage, judg- ment, and vigor to break up the revenuo riugs, uotwithutanding sojue of those wlho had been intimately associated with the Presidont were among the victims of the goneral wrock. Nor did Becretary Brutow permit any disagrocable personal expericuces nor tho demunds of his private business to persusdu Lin to abandon the work ho hud undertaken befora it was fully accomplished. Ihe voto for Mr. Bistow in the Cincinnati Convention was o wpoutnneous ncknowledg- ment on bebulf of a very lurgs part of tho Ttepublican party of his eminent sorvices to the country, und an indication that & large port of the entire people would like to have the samo kind of sorvico in a more ox- tended capacity. But ay Mr. Bums. 70w was not a candidute Ly his personal exertious, and 0s ke has indorsed tho nomi- nation of Hayes and WizELER as heartily and euthusinsticully sy anybody could, his retire. ment immediutoly after the Convontion does not warrant a counsction of the two ovents, It is woro Jikely that he retained his office longor thun he would otherwise have done in order not to projudico the intorests of the perty, nor to exert by any chango of his own status the slightost influence on the action of tho Convention, Busrow's work of purification is too recent and familisr to need recapitulation. DBut it may bo eaid that no man has dono 8o much | for the Republican party or for the good of Bnch has done, by sinnshing rings and exciting tho honest sontiment of the parly to sssort itsolf. The offcct of his war on the corruptionists and ravente thioves hns been to improve tho moral sonso of tho conntry, clevato politics to tho thoughtful consideration of the best people, and place the Republican parly in A condition to achieve now triumphs through the renewed contldenco of tho people. There is no danger that sucha man as Bexaasuy ., Bamsrow will long re- mnin in rotiroment, There will bo & domand for his services nunder the administration of Mr. Hares which ho will not be at liberty to yeglect. Meanwhile, the public good ho has dono should securo him the highest suceess in hia privato affnivs, tho urgency of which Dbas beon the cause of his retiroment at the present time, OUR CARTER AND THE FIRE-CRACEER, Our Cantzn is rapidly creating o constitu- ency for himself, which, if not very numer- ous, is nt lenst uniquo and hoterogencous. Every American englo that winks at the sun or hooka chickens from u barn-yard owes him a debt of gratitnde in considoration of the magnificont specimen which ho let loose at Dhiladelphin, with the sprays of the Pa- cific for tho terminus of his flight. Every horn-blower of the Marino Band owes him debt of gratitudo for preserving that organt. zation in all its brazon integrity and blaring virtue, and cvery other brass band of thy couniry, including the Michigan femnle brass band, will sympathize with the Marine Band in its gratitude to Our Canren. 'L'he noblo red man of the forest, whoso bluo blood also flows in Our Carter's voins, will also rally about him for his demand that ho (tho noblo red man) shall be allowed to marry as often and os conveniently as hosces fit. Inaddition to the Amarican eagles, the brass bands, aud the Indians, Qur CartEn has now eaptured tho longolians., The Heathen Chince will make a Jors of him whon he learns that he has risen from his seat and lavishly expended the riches of his colossal intellect npon the fire-cracker ns on clemont of Americon patriotism on the Fourth of July, ‘I'he oceasion was tho reporting of a joint resolution authorizing the Commissioners of tho District of Columbin to expend 81,000 in fire-works for the Fourth of July. Mr. Near, of Ohio, spoke against the resolution, charactorizod fire-crackers as tomfoolary, and ungenerously intimated that the money of tho District should bo used in paying its poor debtora. Mr. CnizTENDEN, of Now York, followed in o strong specch against the indiscriminato nuso of firo-crack. ors, naserting that within o fow yonrs past soven hundred millions of dolinrs' worth of property had been destroyed by fire-works. The firo-cracker wns having a hard time, The Heathen Chineo was threstened with n crisis in his business of exporling his snap- pish and stinking wads for the development of American patriotiam, when the champion of the national engle, of the national Lrass band, nnd of nationnl miscegenation with his tribe, aroso and rnslied to the resoue of the firg-cracker. 'Tho tolograph thus roports Our CanTER ; ™~ Mr. Hanmsox, ‘of Hilnols, expressed hl: {alunent at the position taken by Mr. Criy 2 Uo asked Mr, Cotrresnes whether ho would have the Fourthof July without firo-works., 1lo was afralil thot patriotism was dying out. That had leen shown In Clnclnnatl, where [t was nll hazy, and now the gentleman wanted Congreds to nc- knowledge thatichad no patriotism, He would never convent to that, [Shouts of never, never, never, and loud laughter.] e wonld stand hore, if 1t took him all sumer, voting for firo:worke on the Fourth of July. He asked his Tepublican frends to ald him in voting for it, and if Demo- crats would not vote for it ho woald turn Republic anand go with the party that favored the Foartl of July, Tho gentleman (Mr. CRirTESDES) he- lanzed to what is calied the Independent party, and it wan no wonder, therefore, thut he diil not want uny fre-works, If he wasan honest Iepublican he wonld be tu favor of the Fourth of July, for o dare not zo to the country in_opposition to It, and 1t e wero a Democrat he would want to celebrate the Fourth of July, becaure then patrlotism wonkl Lo olg in his boson—os bigas it was in hls own, [Laughter.] The speoch did its work and tho fire- cracker waasaved. By a fow buraing words ho not only rebuked tho want of patriotism in the House, but he alko secured the grati- tude of the Mongolians nnd the small bLoys. Somo man's property, of course, will bo de- stroyed on the Fourth, and he will curso Our Canzen, Boma small boys must losa fingors aud eyes, and their paronts will curse Our Canren, and thero will not be wanting many fussy people who will curse Our Canten for his noble defensa of the fire-cracker as thoy listen to itsinfernal din for twenty-four con- tinuous hours, But these will countas nothi- ing comparod with the gratitude of thou- sandy of peoplo who might not have cele- brated the Centonnial Fourth or been patri- otic at all had he not roscned the fire-cruclc- or. Without tho firc.cracker whero wero our libertios? With the firc-eracker the country is safe. Tully another run for Our Cantzr ; but whero is Banyey CauLrrznp? A correspondent writes, asking whorein tho Republican platform gives any better or more pointed promiso of Civil-Servico Roform thon any provions declaration by either party. It is not possible for a politicnl Canvention to frame a codo of laws in dotail. ‘Cho mont it can do 4 to particularize an abuse and de- muond its discontinuence. 'I'ie Ttopublican Convontion in 1868 proposed & reform in the Civil Servico, and Gen. GrasT, after ho bo- camo President, nddressed himaelf to bring about that roform, Io persevered oven against an adverse majority in both Houses of Congress, and only abandoned it when Congress vefused tho nocessary legislation, The troublo in the way of auy reform in the Civil Scevice lies in Congress. 'The cor- ruption, demoralization, and degradation of the Civil Servico is the resnlt lurgely, if not exclusivoly, of tho fuct that tho appoint- ing power vested by the Constitution i the FExecutiva has been seized and is now exercisod by the Legislature, I'ho uim of tho Constitution was to soparute the Logislature from the distribution of patron. nage, while tha fact {4, the whole patronuge of the Federal Governmont is administered by Sonators and members of Congress. It the Preaidont dare to appoint a Postmaster or 8 Collector of Revenue in Nlinos against the wish or without the approval of the Sonator whose torm is nenrly expired, sll that Soun- tor has to dois to state the fact to the Scn- ate, and that body will refuse to conflrm tho appointinent mada by tho President. Iu the Hennte a common bond unites the mom. bers to mnintain the authority and right of tho Sonators to compel the President to ap- point only such persons us are designated by tho Honators. A portion of this patrounge is conceded to the Reproseutatives in Con. gresn, who act in concert with the Senutors in domanding the right to name all the per- sons who shall be appointed by tho Presi. dent. Tho charactor and fitness of the ofll. cers hovo no bearing on the question ; the Prosidont wust sppoint the men who aro presented to bi, 1t iy uselesd ta telk of reforming tho Civil Bervica 82 swug a3 thiv systen of appoint. ment is maintained. That muat be broken up, and, whon it is broken up, the service will quickly reform ftrelf. Doprived of their Congressional patrons, tha dishonest and in- competent officors will drop out, and better mon tako their places. The tepullican Con- vention mot this nbuse myuarely by asserting that undor tho Constitution the Presidont aud heads of departments have the rola power to make nppointments; the Scnato is to adviso and consent to such appoini- ments, and the TTouso of Itepresentativesis to nconse and prosecute faithless officors; thnt theso distinetions should bo respected ; that Senators and Represontatives who mnay Lo judges and acensors should not dictate appointments, and the invariable rule for all nppointmenta should have referance to the bonesty, efficiency, and capacity of those nppointed. Here is a direct pointing out of the partioular abuse which bna de- moralized the Civil Servico, The Convention specifies the infamy which must be correct- ed. Tho party stauds pledged not only gen- erally to the reform of the Civil Service, but to tha complete breaking up of tho per- nisious systom of having Fedoral appoint. ments dictated by memboers of cither House of Congress. Tho momout that systom is broken up thero will bo a declded improve- mont in the character of the mon appointed to oftlce, and also in the character of the men clected to the Senate and the Tlouse of Represontatives. It may Lo snid that tho members of Congress will nover voluntarily surrender tho patronage they enjoy, aud that the President must bo helpless until Con- gress agrees and co-operetes with him. DBut tho ovil eau bo reached by constitutional asmendment,—one now pending in Congress being as follows : Aur. —, See. 1. All Postmasters, Marshals, Asyeasors, nnd Collectors, except Collectors of Customs dutles, shall be choken for a term of four years, at a gencral election of the clectors of the district, city, town, or viliage in which the dutics of their oflices are to be performed, Sre, ‘The Congress shall enact rultable luws to excente the foregoiny article, and to Insure the faithful dlscharge of the duties of ruch efleers, and for their removal by the Fresldent for ofilelal miscondnct, and fn case_of a remnoval for an ap- pointment, untll the noxt general election, and for flling vacancies In such ofiicen, Anrt, —, S, 1.

Extradition between the two countries has been conducted for noarly twenty-fivo yoars under tho Asmmuntox Treaty of 1812, and there has nover been a complaint during all that timo from either sido of a violation of its terms, It includes somo half-n dozen or moro of the chief felonies rocognized by the lnwa of the two countries, and extradition is nacessarily limited to these offonscs, It Lias never been attempted, nor oven contem- plated, wo tkinlk, by the authoritios of eithor country, to arraign for o political offense any porson surrondered under the troaty. This would be a breach of national faith, fually recognized by intornational law, and it roquired no express stipulation in the treaty. But in both countries men surrendored for ono crimo hnve beon tried subsequently for another which was included in tho list of oxtradictablo offenses. ‘Thero is nt Joast ono instanco of this having lLeen done in Englend with an offender surren- dered by the United States, and thore are two instances of it in this country, Thoro was no protest on either side, When Law- nexce, the smuggler, was surrondered by tho British Govornment sowme time since, the surrendor was made on a singlo charge of forgory, against which the onlprit had a de- fenso, though there were some ton or eloven other charges of forgery against which he hus no defonse, 'Tho right of tho United Statey Government to arraign LAWRENCE on theso othor charges has been asserted by our Do- partment of Justice, nnd sustained not only by Amorican lawyers, but also by distinguish- ed mombers of tho Euglish Bar, among whom aro J. P. Benaawin and Epwanp Cranke. But it is this position which in- ducod Lord Dxuny to make a domand upon our Govornment in the cases of WinsLow and Brexr that it should guarantee that thosa men should not bo tried on auy other charge than that for which they wore to be surren- dered (forgery), ‘The domand was not ac- ceded to, because it was not warranted by tho terms of tho Extradition Troaty, and henco the two porsons named have been dis- chorged from custody, After this, thore was nothing for the United Btatea Government to do but declaro tho trenty abrogated, and, un- til another treaty shall bo made, to neither demand vor surrender fugitive criminals. The demand of the British Govorument did not como in tho shape of a proposition to nuend tho tyenty, but rested entirely up- on o municipal law of Groat Britain, passcd in 1870, and declaring that * a fugitive crim. inal shall not be surrendered to a foreign Htato unless provision I8 mndo by the law of that Stata or by nrrangoment that the fugi- tive criminal shall not, until he has been re stored or had an opportunity of returning te Her Majesty's dominions, bo dotained or triod in that foraign Stata for any oftenso committed prior to his surrende. otuer than the extrndition crime proved by the facts on which the surrender is grounded.” Of courso it was not possible for the United States Govornment to acknowledge itsolf a8 bounden by the municipal law of anothor country; such n confession would have boen in contravention of all in. ternational law and a precodont that might prove harassing in the future. Nor conld the United States offer to modify the treaty of 1812 ponding this demand, since our Gov- ornment would then havo been open to the charge of having chiauged the treaty under o menaco of its abrogation in a summary and discourteons mavuer. There was and fs o detire on'the part of the United States Gov- ernmont to enlarge and liberalize tho torms of extradition betwoen the two countries, but no movemont could be made in this di- rection undor the dictation of Grent Britain, with a threat of dlsvegarding the treaty un- less its local law should be recognized as parawount. Thery was uo exguie for taking fuch a position. Tlad thera over boen a singlo cnse where tho United Btatos had insulted the diguity of Great Britain and violsted international law Ly mraigning surrandered persons for political offonscs, thoro night have Leen some reason for urging n guarantoe that it should not bo repeated. But there has nover been nny- thing of thiy kind. On tho conteary, the domnnd was nado solely on the British local Inws of 1870, from which we have quoted, votwithstanding that Inw itself contains tho provision that it slionld not Lie construed to nlter ar affect existing treatios. The Dritish Government hns been so clearly wrong in the whole mntter that Becretary Tism has de- cidedly the beat of it in tho correspondenca which has just been published ; and while, as the President says, the annulment of the trenty is n rotrograde step in international intercourso, the fault rests entirely with Gront Britain, nnd that Governmeut can most practically atone by proper overtures for o new treat; EUROPEAN WAR PROSPECTS. Although reports for soveral days pnst have becu favorablo to peace in Europe, thore aro indications eontinually cropping out that the serenity is only on tho surface, and that tho sudden calm is deceitful, nnd may prove the foreruuner of a storm ns por- tontous ny that which wns threatencd two or three woeks ago. A glance below the surfnco will show that all the cloments of o great war are seothing in the political eal- dron. Every politieal change in ‘Iurkey during the past two or throo weeks has boeu nccomplished by violence. Iliere can now b but little doubt that the Iate Sultan An- pur-Aziz shared the fato of along lino of illustrious predecussors, and was murdered aftor dethronemont. His violent denth has boon followed by the nssnssination of Ilus- seN Avst Pasua and Resin Pasua, tho now Ministers of War aud Foreign Affairs, who had hardly obtained their portfolios be- fore they wore murdered. It may bo said that tho deed wns the work of a madman, and that he hos beon promptly punished, but it has none the less demoralized the new Administration, which looked to thess two officers mora then to all tho rest of the Govornment officinls to dotermine the attitude of Turkey towards the insurgents and tho European Powers. Their sudden nssassinntion hns plunged the Government into diraconfusion. ‘The new Ministors had commenced to innu- gurate measures which would hnve re-eatab. lishod the Mussulman nscendency, and there- by relioved the Bmnpire of foreign influonce and the possibility of foreign intervention. They had also. promised protection to the Cliristians and pledged themsolves to adopt n policy which would have led to economy, justice, and reform. ‘Ihe new policy, how- over, is swept away with them, n Constan- tinoplo dispatch of the 19th inst. nffirming that tho Ministors of the Sultan differ amony themselves upon tho question of creating neyy Assombly, and have indefluitely post- poned the adoption of the new Constitution which hind boen promised. Worse thau this, tho Christians can no longer rcly upon the promiso of protoction which had been held out to thom. Acconuts from all sources nre full of apprehonsions of violence, and in Constantineple itself tho Christinns fear o gonernl uprising of the Mussulman fanatics, In Bosuin, tho Turks have unfurled tho green flag, which means no quarter to Christinns. In Jerusalem, tho Christians, alarmed at the eoxcessos of tho Turkish nuthoritios and tho prospact of dn uprising of tho Mussulman populace, have barricaded their houses and aro preparing to defond themselves. Tho German colony in that city, which is the succussor of the ill- fated New England colony, has sent to the Home Goverument for military assistance, and a Turklsh army is now encamped by the Tloly Sepulchre, Meunwhile, a powerful ‘Purkish fleet is on its way to Croto, whore tho xebetlion Lins bocome formidnble, Thus it will be seen that in Constantinople itsclf, in DBosnin and Bulgarin, not to montion Heorzegovina, Montenegro, and Servia, in Sonthern Creto, and in far-off Jorusalem, the clouds of war aro still ominonsly gathering. Again, tho rclations betweon Turkey and her robellious provinces have not changed in any particular, notwithistand- ing the change of Administration. Ono of the first ncts of the rccently-assnssinntod Ministers was to offer terms to the pravinees in revolt, which were iustantly refused, Horzogoviun, Montonegro, and Bosnia have rofusod to Iny down their arms. Their ar. mios aro still in tho Held, threatening Tur. key. Sorvin, through the Prince of Milan, hog made a formal proffor of loyalty {o the new Sultan, but it is not the act of the peo- ple of Servin, who aro alrondy repudiating it, and oponly giving vxpression to their discontont with the reigning Prince. Their army is still under arms, and thoir intention not ouly to nssert their indepondenco, but also to annox eithor Ilerzogovina or Dounia to their possesaions, is just ns strong as over, Meanwhilo the Great Powers romain (uiet, with the rolations betweon L'urkey and tha insurgents unchanged., If the Turks innu- gurato arcligiouswar, they must interfore and wipo Turkey out, 1f the Turks morely at- tompt to enforca their authority, will the Qrent Powers stand calmly by ns spoctators ? Is this tho now policy secused by Disnaxr, in rofusing to agrea to the Berlin wemoran- dum, to let the Turks and their subjeots fight it out and maintain peace outsido the Thrk- ish frontiora? It looks so. In such an avont, Turkey's doom is sealed, There are varlous shades and degrees of re- liglous bellef; there are thelsts, delsty, and athelsts, Col. R. (.
