By an act of the 12th February, 1793, Congress prescribed what occasion and by what means the sur- render of the iugitive criminal shall be etlected, By that act two conditions, and two conditions only, are made indispensable to a | Jegal anil iinperat ve demana for the delivery of the | fugiuve, namely: first, the production of a copy of | an tndictment found or affidavit made, &c.. “charg- ing the person eo demanded with having committed treason, fel: ny or other crime,”’ and secondly, that such indictment or affidavit be certified as authen- tic by the Executive of the State whence the. pris- oner has fed. in the case betore me it appears oy the return to the writ tiat the Governor of Pennsyl- vania bay made a formal and sufficient demana on the Governor of New York for the surrender of the prisoner; that such demand was accompanied ana rupported by an affidavit charging tho risoner With @ criminal offence against the laws of Pennsylvania; that sald ailidavit is duly au theuticated by the Execative of Pennsylvania, | and that the prisoner 1s detained by virtue of a | formal and suiiicient Warrant of surrender issued | by the chief magistrate of New York, In tuis circumstance have { aay alternative but to re- mand the prisoner to the custody of those who hola him 10 charge ior the authorities of Pennsyivania? Ii ty now pretended that 1 have any jurisdiction to lustitute inquiry as to the trutn of the accusation alleged against the prisoner, but the contention is that 1 shoud inspect the afidavit, and If the facts exhibited appear insuficient to consti i tate a crime thal I suiould denver nim from custody. But asl coace.ve it sultices Ut the amdavit accuse | nim of a crime against the laws of Pennsylvania, | and I have no more authority to hear a demurrer to | the suiiciency 01 ihe charge than to try an issue of | fact as to his guilt. The presuimption is that tt the | aliegation of crime be either deficient in substance | or htise in fact the prisoner Will be acquitted by the courts of vennsylvauia.

ROcHESTER, Oct. 6, 1871, Tho Convention is now of the past. The crowds have gone and the city has settled down agaiu into tho old ruts and business goes on 48 tt dia before the Convention was thought of. Everybody seems to ve happy and thankful that the Convention Passed off so pleasantly; that nothing was done, either inside or outside, to cause any regrets or cast even the slightest stain om the democracy. Now | that everything has settled down it may not be out of place to look back at the assemblage and at the work of the Convention. Of course a grand attempt will be made to show that Tammany rulcd the de- Mberations and controlled the actions of the dele- gatea as much as, if not more than, if she were fully Tepresented on tue floor of the Convention, How much foundation there 1s for this. can be scen by even acursory view of the affay. As stated in my letter on Wednesday it was very evident that the Tammany deiegation sent hero was sent to be defeated. Colonel Foliows was put on as representative from the First district so | that there might be one who could do some talking | in ease It became necessary to make ashow, But who was there beside him on the deievation that could or would dare to face the indignution of tne rural democracy and the dignified eloquence and unanswerable logic of such men as Governor Sey- be raised against the CORRUPTION AND CORRUPT INFLUENCES practised and exerted under the Tammany ollgar- orator?
