TRIAL OF THOMPSON, A WEALTHY PENNSYI- VANIA DISTILLER—HE IS BAILED IN A NOM- INAL AMOUNT AND RUNS AWAY, Prrranvna, March 9, 1876, ‘The trial of Samuel Thompson, a wealthy distiller, charged with being engaged in the crooked whiskey business, concluded to-day in the United States District Court. His distillery and spirits, amounting in value to upward,of $100,000, were seized by the government, and with the verdict rendered by the jury are for- feited, while he himself has been convicted of defraud- ing the government of its revenue. The evidence ad- vanced showed that tho employés of Thompson, on several nights during “the month of Juno last, were detected in the act of removing whiskey from the “cistern house’? of tho distillery, where goods are piscee after going through the government officers’ hands, to the store of the building adjoining tho distil- lery. ‘One of the employés of the government swore to having thus detected two men, one of whom was Allen, Thompson's disuller, in removing the govds, The evidence against Thompson to connect him with the transaction was the testimony that on the 2st of June he, with his ox cart and teamster, proceeded to load up packages so removed and placed them in the store building. Before the trial concluded Thomp- son, who was wader bail in a nominal amount, saw that conviction was certain, and therefore determined to leave, which ho did, and though detectives are search- ing high and low for him they have not yet discovered his whereabouts, THE SUNBURY AND LEWISTON RATL- ROAD.

The Episcopal church and Johnson’s Central Hotel, | on Main street, were nearly undermined. Grafton | street was flooded and the lower end of Main street submerged.

The Dominion Government and the Treaties of Extradition. SUGGESTIONS TO THE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT. Character of the Crimes and Modes of | Extradition Discussed. Last Night’s Proceedings in the | Dominion Parliament. Orrawa, Ont, March 9, 1876. In compliance with a motion for the correspondence between the Imperial government and Canada on the eubject of an enlarged extradition treaty with the United States the government to-night laid betore the House of Commons, of Canaila, the following very im- | portant papers which are of the highest public interest | at this noment;— The first of these documents is the copy of a report ofa committee of the Privy Council of Canada, ap- proved by the Governor General in Council, on the 8th of December, 1875, It is as follow: MINUTE OF CoUNCIL. The Committee of the Privy Council have had under their attentive consideration a memorandum, hereto annexed, from the Honorable the Minister of Justice, having reierence to the inadequacy of the existing Ex- tradition treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States, and suggesting the expediency of taking stops toward ‘the making of a comprehensive extra- dition treaty, with due regard to the exceptional cir- cumstances as between the United States and Canada alluded to in the memorandum, and they respectiully | report their concurrence in the views expressed in the | said memorandum, and advise that acopy thereot and of this minute be transmitted by Your Exceilency to the Right Hon. Her Majesty's Secretary of state for the Colonies for the consideration of Her Majesty's govern- ment. W. A. HUNSWORTH, Clerk of the Privy Council. REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF JUSTICR. The memorandum or report of the Minister of Jus- tico, referred to in the above minute of Council, is a long and claborate paper. It begins with areview of the | twoextradition treaties which have been negotiated between the United States and Great Britain—that which is commonty called the Jay treaty, made in 1794, and the Ashburton treaty, conciuded in 1842, and | rehearses all the offences included in each as follow: Momorandum of the Minister of Justice. By what is commonly called the Jay Troaty, made in 1794, be- tween Great Britain and the Un: States, there were ‘Dut two extradition offences, viz.:—Murder and for- gery. By the Ashburton Treaty, mado in 1842, there ‘were feven extradition offences, viz:—Murder, assault with intent, piracy, arson, robbery, forgery, aud the & utterance ‘of forged paper, The diferent ex- tradition statutes passed by the Imperial Parliament at different times, specifying the offences for which fugitives from justice might be extradited are next recited, and the various schedules | of crimes given at length, after which the report goes on to enume: THE TREATIES OF EXTRADITION Negotiated within a few years past between Britain and various countries, a8 follow: 1 extradition treaty was made between Great Britain and Germany embracing eightcen extradition crimes; another with Belgium embracing nineteen extradition | crimes; another with Italy embracing nineteen | extradition crimes, and a fourth treaty with Denmark embracing nineteen extradition crimes, In | 1873 a treaty was made with Brazil, embracing eighteen extradition crimes, and another with Sweden and Nor- way, embracing eighteen extradition crimes, In 1874 | & treaty was concluded with Austria embracing | twenty extradition offences, and another with the Netherlands embracing’ ten extradition — of- fences; and in 1875 an extradition treaty was concluded with the Swiss Confederation em- bracing eighteen extradition offences. The existence of these extradition statutes and treaties leads the Minister of Justice to argue in favor of the propricty, in fact of the necessity, of enlarging the rango of ex: | tradition offences in general. The relations of the United States and Canada render applicable with added force to these countries the general consideration upon which these gtatutes and treatin have been based. The common frontier of about 3,000 miles; the facili- tes for passing from one country to the other; the condition of things in the sparsely setiled, but vast tracts of country in the West; the oxtensive com- ‘merce both by lind and by sea and by the groat lakes, and increased intercourse between two peoples of a common tongue, all point to the conclusion that between them, perhaps more than between any other two countries, an extensive extradition | treaty is requisite, | A SOURCE OF DIFFICULTY, | Ono great possible source of difficulty, which prob- ably prevented any effort to extend tho existing treaty, has been of late years removed by the abolition of slavery- All tho experience of later years points | toward the necessity of extension, Cases are | of very frequent occurrenco in which per. | sons guilty of serious crimes pass from one | country into the other, and almost within sight of | their victims and the sountry whose laws they have | offended, find a secure refuge for themselves and their ill-gotten gains. Tho facilities so offered tor crimes of | @ particular character tend largely to increase their number, and so at once toster crime and render property less secure. The Minister of | Justice suggests to the Privy Council that it is expe- | dient to take such steps as may be best calculated to re- sult inthe making of a comprehensive extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and the United | States, framed with due regard tothe exceptional cir- | cumstances as betweer the United Statcs and ada referred to above. j The Minister of Justice has thought it best not to en- | cumber his report with any discussion of the procise crimes that should be embraced in sucb a treaty to the pbrasvology to be used in defining them. These mat- ters, he is of opinion, should be the subject of negotia- tions, and tling them it might be necessary to rofer to the existing criminal law of Canada, THE MODE OF EXTRADITION. Upon the mode of extradning offenders which the Minister of Justice believes to be an important subject, he proposes to make a separate report in case steps be taken for the negotiation of a new treaty of extradi- tion, The report is signed Edward Blake, Minister of Justice. The report of the Minister of Justice is accompanied | by a despatch from the Governor General of Canada, | inclosing a copy of a letter from the Foreign Great 870 Office stating the result of the recent nego- tations with the United States government on the subject, and that in the Earl of Derby's opimion there is a: present little hope of con- | cluding a new treaty with the United States, It will be seen, however, that His Lordship will not fail, should a favorable opportunity oceur, to press upon the United States government ihe expediency of cou- cluding a more comprehensive treaty than the exist- | ing one. The following is the letter referred to in Lord Car- | narvon's despatch :— i Fonsiay Ovrice, Jan, 29, Sin—I have laid before the Earl of Derby you of the 19th inst. im whieh you enc | copy of @ despaten from the Governor Gen- eral of Canada, together with a minute of the Privy Council of the Dominion submitting tor the consideration of Her Majesty's government the inad- equacy of the bag | extradition treaty between Great Britain and the United States, and suggesting the expediency of taking s:eps for the negoli- ation & more comprehensive treaty, and, m reply, t rected by His Lordship to state to you for the intormation for the Earl ot Cirno- vam that negotiations for the con Iusion of a new treaty with the United states were opened after the passing of the Extradition Act of 1870, and were curried on until when they were suspended in consequence of | States objecting to an article in the English rovided, in accordance with section 3 of that no accused ur convicted person should be surrendered if offence im respect to which bis aurrpnder is demanded shail be | deemed by the party upon whom the demand is made to be of a political character, or if he prove to tbe sate isfaction of the magistrate, justice, julge, or court be- fore which he 18 bronght, or of the ‘secretary of State, that the requisition tor his surrender has in fact been mado with @ view to iry, of to punish him for an offencce of 4 political char. acter, the government of the ited = States maintainod that the secretary of the State alone should je whether au offence with which a tugitive crimt- ni arged is of a political charac On the other | hand the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, to | whom this question was referred, reported that | it war not possible 10 agree to the proposal of the United States government as any stipulation in accordance with thelr views would be at variance with section 3 of the actabove recited. Under these cir- | = cumstances Lord Derby considered it would be nseless to. coptinue the negotiations, which were ac- | cordingly suspended until quite recently, when in a dixeussion which took place between Her Majesty’s Minister at Washing ton and the Secretary of tho State of the United States, relative to the trial of a fugitive criminal named Lawrence, who was surrendered to the United States in April last, on a charge of forgery. As, however, Mr. Fish continues to hold the same views on the point at issue that he held in 1874, and to maintain that the British Government must take the whole responsibil- ity in deciding whether the offence with which a tugi- tive criminal is charged is of a political character. Lord Derby apprehends that there is st present | Hittle hope of concinding & new extradi- | tion treaty) = with the United States, if however, a favorabie opportunity shonld oc His | Lordstip will not tail to press upon the goverament of compretensiv treaty than tho existing one, ar. rangement wich would be as much to the advantage to the United States as of Great Britain and the Do. inion of Canada. “eave te, T.

SHERMAN’S MEMOIRS. was about HIS OPERATIONS IN FRONT OF SAVANNAH—LET- TER FROM LIEUTENANT COLONEL ALEXANDER R. CHISOLM, EX-AIDE-DE-CAMP TO GENERAL BEAUREGARD, New York, March 8, 1876. Having carefully read General Sherman’s ‘Memoirs’? and his report to the Committee on the Conduct of the War, I have taken interest in the comments thereon which for somo time have appeared in the press, and, with your permission, would offer some observations | upon two important historical matters. Asa point in military history it is deserving of partic. ular attention that at Savannah—the end of his “march | to the sea’’—General Sherman lost an casy and brilliant opportunity of capturing Hardee’s entire command of about 10,000 men with thatcity. He writes (Memoirs, "’ p. 284) that General Slocum “wanted to transfer a whole corps to the South Carolina bank”? of the Sa- vannah River, the object being to cut off Hardee's re- treat, At this time Hardee’s only line of retreat was by Screven’s Ferry to a causeway on the South Caro- lina ban! he was without pontoon bridge or other means of getting away, relying only on throe very small steamboats, and the only troops he had on the Carolina bank were a small force of light artillery and Ferguson's brigade of Wheeler's cavairy, numbering not more than 1,000 men. At this time Genoral Beau- regard’s ‘Military Division of the West'’ embraced the | department of Licutenant Generals Hood and Tayler, but not that of Lieutenant General Hardee, although he had authority to bring the latter within his com- mand, either at Hardce’s request or at his own discretion in an emergency. Ho had arrived in Charleston, therefore, on Decomber 7, with a view of saving and concentrating the scattcrod Confederate forces in that region for some effective action against He telegraphed Hardee (Decembor §), ad- vising him to hold Savannah as long as practicable, but under no circumstances to risk the garrison and to be ready for withdrawalto a junction with Major General Samuel Jones at Pocotaligo, 8. C. At Hardeo’s urgent request Beauregard went to Savannah on the mormng ot the 9th, Finding no means prepared for the con- | lingency of evacuation he dirocted the immediate | construction of a pontoon bridge, with the plantation | rice flats for pontoons, moored by old guns and car- wheels for anchors, and covered with: flooring supplied by pulling down the wharves and wooden buildings. | After giving a letter of instructions as to the plan of Operations, indicating the contingency under which | the movement shonid begin, he returned to Charleston, Instructions were also given for the best feasible do- | fenco of the causeway and road from Scroven’s Ferry. | On the 14th Hardee telegraphed the General, stating the enomy’s movements, his own doubts and his desire am the emergency to have orders; and on the 15th he again telegraphed, urging the General to return and determine on the ground the actual time for the move- ment of evacuation and junction with Jones, Beau- regard (whom I accompanied) arrived again tn Sa. | vannah on tho night of the 16th, after running the gauntiet of Foster's batteries near Pocotaligo in a wagon, so as to save the railroad from obstruction by an unlucky shot at bis train, and making by like con- veyance the distance along which tho railroad nad been broken by Sherman near Savannah. He found | the pontoon bridge only about one-third constructed, some of Wheeler's cavalry having destroyed a number ot rice flats collected, supposing they had been gathered by Sherman for the crossing of the river. Hut the work was prosecuted with such vigor by Chief Engineer Colonel John G. Clarke in person that by daylight of the 19th tne General tound it all but completed—stretching from | the city to Hutchinson's Island, over which a causeway ‘was built; thence to nyworth Island, where another causeway was laid; thence aci the Back River toa causeway which led over the swamps to the main land of the Carolina bank, Beauregard ordered the move- ment to be made that night, though accident del until the night of the 20th, when by this rout only exit from Savannah—Hardee was sate drawn, with fleld artiliery, baggage and stores, and the bridge then destroyed. This was one of the neatest achiovements of the war, rivalling im decision, re- | source and skill the celebrated evacuations of* Corinth and of Morris Island by the samo commander, But meanwhile, Geueral Sherman, cautiously leaving his 60,000 men concentrated on the Georgia bank of the river, had gone in person around by the sea to Hilton | Head in order to procure the assistance of Foster's | army for the investment of Sw ‘annah from the Caro- lina bank. It ix clear that, had Slocam’s suggestion been adopted, or bad even’ the single brigade of his corps, Which had crossed the river above Savannah, been vigorously pushed against the thin line of Con’ | federate pickets covering this causeway, all escape irom Savannah had been cutoM, General Sherman saw his mistake too late, and, in his letter of December | 24, 1864, he excuses himself to Halleck :—"I feel some- what disappointed at Hardee's escape, but really ain not to blame, | moved as quickly as possible to close ay, but intervening obstacles were such that, before I conid get troops on the road, Har- ave had slipped out.’ The real point is that, disposing of an overwhelming force, bis movement should have been a prompt and vigorous one to the rear of Savan- nab and not a voyage to Huton Head to borrow such a movement trom ‘General Foster. As to ‘intervening obstacles,’ they consisted of some light artillery and a 'y thin line of that cavalry of which, m his letters, he sees fit to write in the most disparaging terins. In this case they seem to have sufficed to cover the re- treat of about 10,000 men whom he should nave cap tured, To estimate General Sherman's error here we must consider that the Confederate troops in Savannah jormed the only substantial force then interposed and the bulk of the only force alterward interposed between hie and Grant. From a military point of view, there- fore, tis failure was of chief itnportance, and might have led to grievous consequences, as in the event of a bold and rapid concentration of a portion of Lee's army with the forces then axsembling under Heaure- gard, in order to try asupr 14 decisive blow against Sherman, and, if sueee then to concen: trate all forces ubou Grant, an operation which, under the advantage of interior lines, gested tothe government as the only chance lett to save the Confederacy, General Sherman's report to the Committee on the Conduct of the War consists of bis letters, orders, &e. these being, as he says, the best report he contd gui mit. His letters ar eed, an industrious dat Tespondence, full of interest to the military st 0 ana to those who fought against him, and, from the ate of “Vicksburg, Murch 4, 1864,” to “St, Louis, ad excepting his letter between 8. C., Fel (pp. are these suppressed % In hi ». he staves that the burning of (turing this four days’ period) was “acerdental, " in the “cotton cases, k wrote Columbia Yet, "Wt transpired that General.in- him:—“Should yon capture Charleston Lhope by some accident the place may be | destroyed ; and, fa little galt should be thrown upon its site, it may prevent the growth ot future crops of nuljitication and secession;’ and General Sherman replied trom Savannah, December 24;— 1 will bear in mend your hint as to Charteston, and do not think ‘ait’ will be necessary.

Under such circumstances Sherman’ promise to Halleck was not difficult to carry out. General Sherman should not keep from the light hie Jetters and orders of these tour days, for surely thett publication can show nothing worse than their suppres. sion would infer, It is to be hoped, therefore, that im the discussion evoked by his book he or his friends may fill this hiatus in @ valuable series ot daily letters and orders, which constitutes one of the completest detailed records in military history.
