The tenth article of the Ashburton Treaty | comes to a violent death to-day, aged twenty- three years, five months and twenty-four days. A great deal could be said in praise of this defunct compact if we had space to trace its history, but the coroner's inquest | must take precedence of a formal eulogy. It appears from a London cable despatch dated yesterday that the Foreign Office has given notice to the American embassy that Wins- on the extraordinary pretext offered in its justification will be such a plain violation of the treaty by one of the contracting par- ties as releases the other from its obligation. It is understood that the President will at an early day send a mesfago on the subject to Congress with the correspondence which has passed between the two governments. It is not difficult to forecast the action of Congress in so plain acase. The‘present is not, indeed, one of, those grave occasions when the violation of a treaty rises to the importance ot a casus belli, for it is neither such an injury to our rights nor such an affront to our dignity as would call for strong measures. On the other hand, it does not belong to’ that category in which the in- fringement of a treaty by one of the parties permits the other to regard the treaty as still in force and to limit its action to diplomatic remonstrance, The treaty is dead ; and the only proper course for our government is to declare its release from the obligation of the compact in consequence of its violation by the other contracting Power. It is true, in- deed, that this compact might have been terminated by the simple process of giving notice; but this might have been done at any time within the last twenty-three years by either government without any assign- ment of reasons, this mode of termination being provided for in the treaty itself. But in this case our government is of the opin- | ion that the treaty has been violated, and its sense of dignity and just resent- ment requires it to proceed as it would in any other breach of an international engage- ment not grave enough to justify strong measures, nor yet trivial enough to be recon- cilable with the continuance of the treaty. It does not belong to the Executive, but to Congress, to declare the abrogation of a treaty, and there can be little doubt that in the present case Congress will declare that the Extradition Treaty is no longer binding on the United States because it has been violated by the British government. This inculpatory declaration will not tend to strengthen good feeling and cultivate sen- timents of amity between the two countries ; but no other course is consistent with our national self-respect. We cannot permit any foreign Power to play fast and loose with its treaty obligations at our expense. Our gov- ernment sacredly keeps faith, and is en- titled to expect the same scrupulous com- @liance with engagements on the part of other nations. To be sure, it will be no light matter for Congress to proclaim that the British government has broken faith, but it has no alternative consistent with national honor. If Secretary Fish has managed his side of the correspondence with skill the judgment of mankind may be safely invoked on this remarkable evasion of treaty obliga- tions, and Congress will not hesitate to do its duty. The treaty of 1842 has been in force for nearly a quarter of acentury. During this long period there have been frequent de- mands for the surrender of criminals on both sides, and, until now, there has never arisen a question nor a breath of difference as to the meaning of the treaty on the point which has been so suddenly started by the British government. There have been re- peated instances wherein Great Britain her- self has demanded the extradition of crimi- nals on one charge and has tried them on another. The sudden and extra- ordinary doctrine which she now sets up is an accusation against herself that she acted in bad faith in the instances here alluded to, for she has re- peatedly done herself what she now contends that the United States have no right to do under the treaty. Her pretence that the act of 1870 exempts her from compliance with the treaty is absurd on two different grounds; first, because a municipal Jaw cannot annul an international treaty, and second, because she never pretended that the act of 1870 sage. If it really had’ this effect the British Parliament passed an act which was a breach | of national faith, and the censure to be pro- nounced by our government is equally de- served, whether the violation of a solemn compact is committed by the Parliament or | the Ministry, or whether the discredit is shared by both. The United States will hold Great Britain answerable for a plain breach of treaty obligation and leave her to distribute the responsibility as she pleases among the several branches of her own government. All we can look at is the fact that she has refused to execute the treaty in its plain meaning and the sense in which she herself understood it until we demanded the extradition of Wins- low. It is believed that there are motives for this sudden treak which will not redound they come to be exposed in detail. Wo have thrown out this suggestion before, and our contemporary the World, which takes a lively and very intelligent interest in this class of questicns, advises Congress to in- vestigate us and find out the precise facts to Abomey and receive indemnity for bis crielty to British subjects in the shape of powder and bullets. The govern- ment intends to collect the fines with a fle of armed vessels. Whether this aggressi act will frighten the King into better conduct | will soon be known, for he has only a month | of grace. egress Tur Investigation or Grxeray Semencx | took an exciting turn yesterday because of | the production of the letters about which there was a question of veracity between the Minister and Mr. McDougal. “ealied” the latter gentleman, and yesterday he showed his hand. It is a strong one, and the effect was that nearly everybody got angry. General Schenck was so excited that he called Mr. McDougal’s statement ‘a false lio,” which is an unusual yet not alto- | gether ungrammatical way of indorsing its iwuth- Mr. Schenck | lent diplomatic maxim, Point de céle! He | ought to understand that there may bewery | | good reasons for concealing both the details and the sources of our information, ang we imagine that when the President shall have communicated to Congress all that Secretary Fish knows on this subject there will be no need of solving the great standing enigma of how the Hrratp always finds out in advance all that is going on in the diplomatic world. ‘The usual effect of the publication of diplo- | matic documents is merely to corroborate | and authenticate the previous revelations of | the Heranp. The Winslow affair is a very plain case under the treaty of 1842. Forgery is speci- | fied in that treaty as one of the extraditable j crimes. It is not disputed that, in Wins- | low's case, the demr=’ was made in the YORK low will be released to-day, and his release | had this effect until six years after its pas- | to the honor of the British government when | of which we'are in possession, We beg to | | remind the writer in the World of the excel- HERALD, | proofs were sufficient ; not disputed that the case is clearly within the stipulations of the treaty, nor that the obligation of the British government to. surrender him is perfect, if he is to be tried for for- gery and.for that crime alone. But while ; admitting that the demand for his surrender | is in strict accordance with the treaty, both | in form and substance, the British govern- ment demanded a promise that he should not be put on trial for any other crime, Al- together apart from the treaty, it is a simple impossibility that this demand could be | complied with, Had Winslow been sur- rendered, he would have been ‘re- manded to the jurisdiction of the State | of Massachusetts, to be dealt with in pursuance of her criminal laws, with which the federal officers could not interfere with- | out subjecting themselves to impeachment. In this country nearly all crimes are pun- | ished by State laws, and the great body of our criminal jurisprudence is quite outside the province of the federal government. This fact, when duly considered, will be found to shed a flood of light on the proper inter- pretation{of the treaty. Of course the United States never stipulated to perform an im- possibility. They never entered into an engagement to protect surrendered criminals against the operation of State laws, for they had no authority to do anything of the kind. No man understood this better than Mr. Webster, who negotiated the treaty ; every Senator who voted for the ratification of the treaty understood it; Lord Ashburton and the | British Ministry ought to’ have understood it, for it is one of the most obvious features of our political institutions that the juris- diction of the separate States over crimes committed within their territory and against their laws is absolute and cannot be re- strained by the federal Executive. It is wild WEDNESDAY, e Extradition Treaty with | proper form ; it is not disputed that the and preposterous to contend that the United States ever made a treaty which either directly or by the remotest implica- tion obligated the President to violate the constitution by interfering with the admin- istration of criminal justice in the States. This argument alone crushes and demol- ishes the British pretence that our govern- ment stipulated in the treaty of 1842 that criminals should be tried only for the offence for which they are extradited. They could not have made such s compact with- out exceeding their authority and subvert- ing the institutions of the country. Tilden and Seymour. The article which we copy from the Utica Herald proves, what perhaps needed no ad- ditional proof, that Governor Tilden’s demo- cratic enemies in this State are straining every nerve to belittle his prospects and create an impression that a majority of the delegates appointed at Utica will turn against him. The republican organ at Utica publishes a classification of the delegates, given it by what it calls ‘the best demo- cratic authority,” in which thirty-seven are made to appear as Seymour men and thirty- three as Tilden men, giving Mr. Seymour a majority of the delegation. The ‘‘demo- cratic authority” which supplied the Utica Herald with this estimate is, of course, hos- tile to Governor Tilden, and both prompter and publisher are willing enough to damage him. The article touches Governor Seymour's sense of honor so closely that he has felt constrained to write a letter of contradiction, ; which was printed last evening in the Utica Observer, the local democratic organ. We append this letter to the article it contra- dicts. Mr. Seymour states, of his own knowledge, that many of the delegates said to favor him are earnest supporters of Gover- nor Tilden, and that some of the others would not support himself, even if he were a candidate, which he has no intention of being, as he would not accept a nomination, “even in the improbable event that one should be tendered.” It is idle to inquire | how the New York delegation would stand | if Mr. Seymour should change his purpose. There can be no doubt that a majority of them are now for Tilden, nor that they will adhere to him if he develops strength enough in other States to render his nomina- tion probable. The necessity which Gover- | nor Seymour is under of publishing a formal contradiction of such a story and vetoing the efforts of his friends, is a curious and signifi- cant indication of the strength of the politi- cal undercurrent. | | | The Brooklyn Navy Yard. Investigation has reached Wallabout Bay, and is, we heur, to spend many days between those shores and the Astor House. So much the better for the navy and the true interests of the service. It is reported that the in- vestigators are already on the trail of corrupt practices by which the money appropriated | for the legitimate administration of the navy has been diverted to the production of polit- ical results by uses that were colorably | proper; and further, that in our neigh- borhood also there have been transactions such as the Navy Department might prefer should be kept secret. Admiral Rowan, Captain Temple and Commander Meade have been before the committee, and | if these gentlemen have been cognizant of improper practices they have not only given | | the committee the full benefit of their | knowledge, but have been rejoiced at the | chance to do so. Honorable gentlemen in the navy and the army alike, when the Sec- retary above them is a mere politician in a corrupt régime, are often unwilling observers | of practices that they cannot approve, but | | with which they cannot interfere, and as to | which they are nevertheless compelled to | | keep silence by the rules of the service, and | on the day when Congress enables them to | | relieve their minds they are happy. Let us hope the investigation at Brooklyn may be | thorough, | Dynamite AND Nitro-Giycrrtyr.-—Some of the newspapers are discussing methods to | prevent accidents from the careless or | criminal use of dynamite and nitro-glycerine, | Tho best way to keep this terrible agent under control is for all factories where it is made to be under government direction and inspection.

The eagerness with which the republican candidates for the Presidency are striving to cut each other's throats in this preliminary canvass for the Presidency suggests some re- tlections which may not be inopportune. What is the republican party to gain by de- monstrating that all its leaders are scamps? If it can be shown, for instance, that Blaine has been as bad as Colfax in the bond busi- ness; that he shared in ths plunder of the Treasury by the Pacific railways; that Conk- ling was engaged in the Emma mine; that Morton was robbing the treasury of Indiana at the time when we thought he was saving the honor of that noble State; that Bristow is a vulgar and’ thieving claim agent, who has used his place to run jobs through the ‘Treasury—what is the inference, so far as the party is concerned? Namely, that it is alto- gether corrupt; that the tree from which such fruits can spring is a upas tree, and that it should be cut down as one that cumbereth the ground. We have always felt that. corruption and jobbery are not characteristic of any party; that there are good and bad men in every party, and that jobbery in Washington is a matter of men and not of political organiza- tions. In support uf this view it has been seen in every investigation that the dis- closures affected democrats and republicans alike. In the Crédit Mobilier matter the resolution of expulsion of members of the House involved one democrat and one repub- lican, The Belknap business has thus far brought down one republican Secretary of War and one democratic candidate for the Presidency—Mr. Pendleton. The Washing- ton Ring investigation has discovered two democrats in the gang—Eldridge, of Wiscon- sin, and Young, of Georgia. In fact, there has not been an inquiry which has not in- volved both parties. This is natural so long as human nature is what it is. Men do not steal because they accept the teachings of Jefferson, nor are they honest because they follow the flag of Lincoln. The charges against Blaine, Morton and Bristow are the unpleasantest features of the canvass. We have studied these charges carefully, and we are surprised that any of them should have a moment's consideration. Mr. Bristow seems to have done his duty in every case where his honor is now impugned. Mr. Morton, so far from deserving censure for his action as Governor of Indiana, where he held the State true to the Union in spite of a copperhead majority which had deter- mined upon stopping all war supplies, de- serves lasting renown. This action will be remembered to his honor as one of the brave deeds of the war long. after the burning questions of this hour are forgotten. To in- vestigate that would do the democrats about as much good as if they were to investigate the battle of Gettysburg and the capture of Richmond. So far as the charges against Mr. Blaine are concerned we do not see the shadow of evidence upon which to convict him of any dereliction of duty. One man says to another that he heard a third man say that certain bonds were given to Mr, Blaine to buy his influence as Speaker and member of Congress. If evidence like this | is to be entertained when the honor of our statesmen is involved there is not a reputa- tion in the country that is safe. Mr. Morton, Mr. Bristow and Mr. Blaine are gentlemen who belong to the history of the time, men in whose genius and achieve- ments we should all take pride. We may have our own opinions as to their fitness for high place; we may think that Morton is too desperate in his views of many questions to be trusted in the White House; we may think that Bristow is too young and too in- considerate for the duties of this supreme office ; we may feel that Blaine is too much of a trimmer and a politician ; but this does not justify us in assuming as a consequence that they are all corrupt, bad, wicked men, who use their offices for personal gain; who are vulgar jobbers; who have forfeited the confidence of the people, and who should be in jail. Let us take some things for granted in dealing with our public officers, and among them this, that when men attain the eminence of Morton, Bristow and Blaine they are not as a general thing corrupt. Until corruption is proven incontestably let usat least give them the benefit of their services and their fame. Mr. Hallett Kilbourn’s Invitation to Congress. Mr. Hallett Kilbourn did not, as we sug- gested he might, go into the galleries of the | House and smile with complacency upon Mr. Glover and the democratic party, who had put him in prison, but he addressed a letter to the Speaker, in which he took full revenge upon his enemies. He had the honor, he said, to respectfully inform Mr. Kerr that he was out of jail, and that he had vindicated the rights of the abstract American citizen in his own person. More than this, he invited the honorable com- mittee of investigation on the real estate | pool to visit his own office and look over the | books of the distinguished firm of Kil- | He had bourn & Latta. but — one request to make, and that was that | after they had examined the | books | and thoroughly investigated their contents they would not allow the private transac- tions of the firm to be published, This stipulation is very much as if Mr, Bingham should invite General Butler to dine with him on condition that he would not take | the spoons away in his pockets. But Mr. | Kilbourn assures Mr. Kerr of his “highest regard for yourself and respect for the hon- orable House of Representatives ;” so we | think the invitation to his office ought to be | accepted, the conditions to the contrary | notwithstanding. The House laid Mr. Kil- | bourn’s polite letter on the table, but we | trast the committee on the real estate pool will treat him with more, courtesy. It is to be remembered that the House of Representatives entertained Mr. | Kilbourn in the most liberal style. sent him to jail, it is true; but that offence MAY 3, 1876—TRIPLE SHEET, | preach reform without proclaiming their strength of his jaw is shown in his powerful letter to Mr. Kerr, Naturally he wishes to make some return. Mr. Glover and the other members of the committee will finda bottle of wine on ice in the back room. They will open the books and the firm will open the champagne. Reciprocation for the mag- nificent banquets in the jail will be un- doubtedly made, and Mr. Kerr, Mr. Glover and the democratic members will be warmly welcomed. They might examine the books first, the bottles afterward. Mr. Kilbourn assures them that there will be ‘‘every facility afforded them for a thorough exami- nation of their contents,” The Republicam Reform Club and Govermer Seymour. The Republican Reform Club of New York is a new political institution which has its headquarters at No. 39 Union square. Its ob- jects are tersely declared in its address to the People, and we shall state them with still greater brevity. The first reform which they ask all patriotic citizens to unite to achieve is resumption of specie payments. The second is a thorough non-partisan civil service. The third is retrenchmenteand reduction in the public service. The fourth is ‘‘to signalize the opening of the new century of our national existence by having nominated by the republican party for President nota mere political partisan but a statesman of tried character, in sym- pathy with the best sentiments of the people on all public questions, conversant with the affairs of government, discriminating and independent in the choice of public servants, one who will thoroughly reform the public service, and whose name alone will be a guarantee of official integrity, of wise and prudent administration, and of a fearless enforcement of the laws.” All these objects are excellent, and the last is especially im- portant. The only objection that can be made to this admirable programme of reform is that it is not sufficiently definitive. We do not complain of vagueness in respect to the re- sumption of specie payments, for the methods of obtaining that are already under- stood ; nor in respect to retrenchment, for the means of effecting that are also clear enough. But when the club speaks of hon- est, capable and faithful civil service, and of a President who will thoroughly reform the public service, and a statesman of tried character, we feel that something more ought to have been said as to methods, as well as objects, by a body of such influence and power. The true states- men of the democratic, as well as the repub- lican party, are equally desirous to obtain these ends. Nothing could be stronger than Mr. Seymour's speech at Utica. He said that the great issue now before the people is “Which party shall have the highest aim? which party shall stand upon the highest plane of patriotism? which party shall ont- step the other in the great and noble effort to restore, to build up and make our country glorious?” In this speech there was much spirit but little form. The eloquent orator did not indicate with any exactness what modes of reform he wished the democratic party to adopt. It is no clearer than the proclamation of the Republican Reform Club. Everybody wants reform, but we observe with regret that nobody affirms the only methods by which it can be secured. ‘What has become of the one term amend- ment to the consfitution? The cause of the present degraded condition of our govern- ment is the continued personal rule which creates an evil and dangerous ambition. Mr. Seymour alludes to this cause. The Re- ! publican Reform Club says tlre public heart is sickened with the spectacle “of betrayed trusts, of high places sought and held solely for private gain,” and it affirms that “it should. be made known to self-appointed party managers that their despotic control will no longer be tolerated” But neither the democratic leader nor the repub- lican club have one word to say of the only principle that can take the na- tion from beneath this despotic control, that can restore to the people the authority these self-appointed politicians have usurped. We shall not repeat our arguments on this question. We shall only say that those who faith in its fandamental principle cannot be | trusted to secure it. Those republicans are ideal reformers who protest against civil | service evils while they propose no plans for their removal, and the root of | civil service corruption is, was ond ever will be executive ambition. The democratic party advocated the one term | amendment in the desperate struggle of 1872, but it has not one word to say for it | now. Allare silent. None are more utterly | dumb than the Presidential candidates. If | they will not speak how can we trust them fully? What is the assurance that the suc- cessful candidate and the triumphant party will not repeat the policy of Grant and his administration party when they aimed—as some of them still do—to keep the govern- | ment as a personal possession for indefinite | time? There is no security in a promise of reform ; the le want the pledge. What the € Is Doing. There are, no doubt, many thousands of people even among those who read the | Henatp who do not care about the opening of the Paris Salon. What is French art to them or to the world in general, that they | should care enough for it to justify a news- paper in spending a large sum of money in | transmitting a long despatch by cable, de- | seriptive of its opening? What they want | are facts, news, tidings about kings, and | ships and the cargoes, and about murderers, if any one has been murdered. But still there isa good portion of this community | and other communities who feel the deepest | interest in events like the opening of the | It! French Salon and the National Academy on | catcher was Sixteen-Aingered Piccadilly. France governs the world in | Heap a welcome courtesy. It was for this class that we printed the cable despatch describing the opening of the French Salon, which appeared yesterday. This is an office which used to be done by ingenious correspondents, who were wont to go from picture to picture and send us the ablest and keenest and most enjoyable criticisms, which were duly printed in time and read with edification by an instructed world. This is all past. Whatever is worth doing in this absorbing era is worth doing at once. We print the news as the sun rises—the news of to-day to-day, and not a fortnight hence. If it is worth while to say anything about a Salon exhibition it is worth while saying it immediately, even if every word must be flashed under the seas for thousands of miles at the cost of so much a word in gold. -Else wherefore have we a cable? The special correspondent was a dear old soul in his way, and his letters were perhaps more eloquent and rhetorical than the terse, thumping sentences which come to us by cable, and sound, in their sharpness and brevity, like so many rifle shots, But he is gone, like the old coachmen of the Sam Weller tribe, and we may hear of him in s generation through some ingenious imitator, some Delancey Kane in literature, whe will give us an idea of his raciness, his sin. cerity, his steady-going criticism, his horros of change, his ‘‘views,” his classics and his miscellaneous lore. Butwe have no use for him in this world outside of the monthly es. The telegraph has taken his place. The quick eye of the reporter, wha can see a point in a flash and embody it ina sentence ; the expert finger of the operators who can make his meaning known thousanda of miles away through a metal knob—these are the agents to do our present bidding. We have the kindest feelings for the deas old special, and wish him everlasting peace in that heaven to which we trust he has gone with the saints and the. fathers, His work in this world is done forever and forever. It ‘was good work in its day—none better.
