SRB TREATY OF EXTRADITION WITH FRANCE—AN IN- DICTED MURDERER DISCHARGED. During the trial of the mutineers of the ship Lennie to-day, counsel for one of the prisoners, named Ren- ken, said there was no evidence to go tothe jury agatost him. ‘The Attorney General concurred, saying it was neces- sary to charge him with murder, because the Extradi- tion treaty with France did not permit a charge of being accessory alter the fact. He felt that the evidence was insufficient to support the charge of murder. Justice Brett said doubtless Renken was a disgrace- ful criminal; there was very strong evidence of his being an accessory after the fact; but as he could not be convicted of that offence under the Extradition treaty, and the evidence was insufficient to convict him of murder, the case against him must be with- drawn. it is nut probable that he will be SILVER.

He said the con- dition of Chinese women hore is horrible, They are ought and sold tike cattle, are abused by their mas- ters, and tortured and often killed for attempting to es- | cape. The presence of the lower classes of Chinese in this country is disastrous to both whites and Chinese, The Chinese here of the better class desire immi- gration stopped, and the whole thing can be done ina friendly way. The Chinese government desires to keep its subjects at home, and if immigration, which is mostly from the province of Canton, was stopped, it would bave no eflect upon the commercial relations with China, THE CHINKSE GOVERNMENT would willingly assist in stopping this immigration, but witness thought they could not do it themselves, as there are eighteen provinces, and a revolution’ in almost every province. Christianity 18 not advanced by this immigration, bat if-it was stopped something might be done with those hcre, The witness corrobo- rated the evidence previously given concerning the which the Chinese secret tribunals put a price on the lives of those offending their laws and carry out such sentencer, As to THE CONTRACT SYSTEM, he sard when the men have no money to pay their pas- sage to California they borrow and work until they have refunded men desire to return to China Steamship Company retuse to sell them tickets unless they have a check or tickets from the six companies or from the mixsion- aries, This is doue to protect their creditors. China- men hving in this country do not think the six com- _ nics can stop the immigration or importation of fe ‘4 women and improper characters, nor have they tho power to send them vack to China. Matthew Karcher, Uhtet of Police, testified at length as to the ruinous effect of the presence of the Chineso upon the rising generation, leading the boys to disease and death, and driving both voys and girls to erime by competiti 9 household and manufacturing employ- ments. Mr. Karcher characterized the Uhincae popi- lation, almost without exception, as criminals, thieves, | lars and perjurers. LARGE FIRE IN PENNSYLVANIA. Prrrssune, Pa., May 4, 1876. A special from Somerset, Ps., to the Associated Press of this city, says a tire broke out in the pattern shop of the Somerset foundry about ene o'clock this aiter- noon, and spreading very rapidly was attended with disastrous resulis, The entire block, including fifteen or twenty Jarge houses, two hotels and tive stores, was entirely destroyed.

The pre: aggregate of Sunday school statistics is 10.287 schools, 207,182 oificers and teachers; and the importanco of this interest and the correspondence of ofthe Church is evident to all.

We have but | uriefly referred to these departments, of our church work as full reports may be expected irom those having them in charge. v General Conference . of 1856 desid that thereafter the statistical tables of our general minutes should show the aumber of members of our churches, During the nineteen yeurs which have elapsed since the rule went into effect 252,045 members of the church , and 1,600 ministers have finished their probation and | have gone to their account. Since the last General Con- | ference 73,674 members of the church have died and 476 ministers have died, giving an aggregate on the ; death roll of 74,150.

The whole number of churches reported in the general minutes of 1875 was 15,633, with a total estimated value of $71,350,254, being an increase of 1,193 churches and $14,441,334 tn their estimated value.

While our hearts arc filled with gratitude and praiso to God for His goodness to us as a Church ana a people we rejoice to make mention of the prosperity God bas vouchsated to other "branches ot Methodism in America. It is also a high satisfac. tion to us to know that the other evangelical churches of this land have shared largely in the outpouring of , the divine spirit, and nave been earnestly and success- fally engaged in evangelistic labors.

THE “ASHBURTON TREATY. CANADIAN OPINION—THE AMERICAN GOVERN- MENT RIGHT—MOTIVES OF THE ENGLISH. Toroxto, Ont., May 4, 1876. Tho Globe saye:—“We are not surprised to learn that the United States has formally abrogated tho ex- tradition clause of the Ashburton treaty of 1842. This step is taken avowedly because Great Britain has already informoily abrogated the fame clause by re- fusing to surrender W:1 wand Grey. It is cloar that if Great Britain chooses to impose conditions on the surrender of an extraditable criminal that aro unknown to the treaty and whieh have never been made to cither nation in former cases of extradition, the United States cancot be blamed tor practically doing the same thing jm another manner.” The Globe clics a number of cases under this treaty | dn which such fugitives trom either nation bave been surrendered for one crime and tried for another, and by the governments surrondering “The English government must hy some reason for their action in the Winslow case, | whatever it may prove to be, and we can only suppose that they find inconvenience im having different laws | onone subject to suit different friendly nations, and that they desire, by practically abroguting the treaty so far as eXtradition 18 concerned, to cause discussion on the subject, with a view to new and uni ments.’?

Exciting Passages Between the White and Colored Delegates. MORTON'S ADVOCATES YIELD. : eh Angry and Tumultaous Scenes in the Convention. AtLaxta, May 4, 1876. The Georgia Convention was opened bright and early this morning oy a bold stroke from the Conkling wing. Postmaster Clark, of Savannah, a strong Conklingite, moved that the Chair appoint. a committee of eleven, who should name twenty-two republicans to reprosent the State of Georgia at the National Republican Con- vention. The negro delegates sprang to their feet at this resolution almost en masse, and the war was fairly opened. Belcher obtained the floor and domaaded an amend- ment allowing each district to name its own delegate and ordering the committee to report only such names as the district caucuses had put forward. It was un- derstood that the districts had selected an almost unanimous Morton delegation, composed of negroes and whites equally; hence THE CONKLING, BLAINE AND BRISTOW ELEMANTS combined to lift the matter out of the hands of the dis- tricts and put it with the committee, Mr. Clark re- fused to acceptthe amendment State Senator De- yaux, colored, then got the floor, and facing Clark ex- citedly declared that the negroes bad been humbugged Jong enough and that this hoodwinking must stop at once, Ho was proceeding in a similar strain, the negroes cheering lustily, whon Clark stopped him by agreeing to accept bis amendment if ho would say nothing more, The colored delegates then demandea that theamendment should be accepted in writing. While Mr, Clark was writing the amendment, Belcher demanded thatthe amendment should read so as to make the report of tne committeo final and Dining as far as the district delegates wero concerned. The effect of this, after Clark had accepted Belcher's amendment, was to leave the matter of selecting district delogates with the districts, who had already eolectod Morton delegates. Clark angrily declined to accept the amendment, under any consider- ation. Belcher then moved to lay Clark’s motion upon ‘tho table, when the din grew infernal, and during the hubbub the Chairman attempted to put the motion. It was claimed by the negroes that the motion was not carried, The Chairman decided that it was, When this decision was made the negroes appealed. Their appeal Waa sustained by the Convention by a decisive majority. ‘The motion to lay Clark’s motion on the table was then carried by,a vote of 58 to 64, amid great cheering by the negro members. This was the first test vole and represented MORTON'S STRENGTH a8 opposed to the strength of the other candidates, Alter the figures of the vote were announced, but be- fore the Chairman had announced the tabling resolu. tion carried, the white delegates calied tor a vote by counties. ‘The negroes bitterly opposed this, and claimed that the question had been scttied. Belchor obtaining’the floor, stated that he opposed the call by counties because the white politicians had their pock- ots full of proxies, alluding to the fact that the Atlanta Postmaster represented Chattahoochee county, that ‘tho Savannah Post ter representea Effingham, and that the other delegates had proxies for irom two to four counties, AN ANGRY AND UPROARIOUS SCENE. Before the colored delegates wouid submit to have themselves smothered beneath picked up pruxics they wouid withdraw from the Convention. ‘thix statement was delivered passionately by w negro leader, backed by the solid body of the colored delogaton, who had | gathered around him. It was the eignal for a terrific | uproar, in which the —_ shouted, ‘We've been svoled long enough!” ‘e understand you 1? | “We will draw right out!’ “We do the voting and we can’t be muzzled!” The whites, thoroughly angered } i | and aroused, shouted back, ‘Go! You are disgracing the party. TEMPORARY TRUCE, a At this crieis a delegate moved to adjourn uutil three o’clock, aud the motion was carried unanimously, |. The afternoon session opened by strong appeals for harmony from the chat: followed by speeches in the ates, At the close of these mee ‘agreed to let the resolution of Mr, Clark pass wit pposition. and it was hurried through with ouly marmur hereand there. The committee was appointed ‘with a Conkling man at its head, and retired tor work. Tho convention adjourned untii evening. THY NIGHT SRBSION. At the opening of the night session it was evident that an ugly fase was imminent. The committees, it ‘was understood, would report as follows:—Del ot | the State at large—sir. Farrow, James Adki | Whitely and H. M. Turner (colored). From ¢ | tricts—A. N. Wilson, L. B. Toomer, B.C. Wade, | Putney, Colonel 8. W: Parker, J.

Peirce, Edwin Belcher | (colored), J. 8. Fannin, Madison Davis (colored) Of the delegates at large the three first named are tor Conkling and the last is for Biaine Of the others | seven favor merrae six favor Morton, one Blaine and four Bristow. Uf the delegation fifteen bold federal oftices, The composition of this slate was so offensive to the colored delegates that it was clearly understood that they would attempt to instruct the delegation tor Morton. This game was anticipated by the introduc tion of an aati-instruction resolution by a ' Blaine man before the committee's report had | been adopted. It was promptly met by a res- olution to insiract§ straignt out for Morton. Both motions were tabled after sharp skirmishing. In about half an hour Senator Devaux renewed the resolution be semrser the delegation for Morton. In a speech supporting tho resolation he claimed that the report to be brought in hau thirteen Conkling men to nine divided among the other candidates, Ex- Congressman Wimpey made a ringing speech for Morton, Alter an exciting debate tho Previous question was called. A viva voce ‘vote was foliowed by a division and then came the old | fight over the calt of the counties. The negroes fought the tall on account of the proxies. The call was com- menced amid the liveliest hubbub, the negroes shout- ing in all parts of the house. After several stoppages the roli call was fairly started, when Belcher rose and withdrew the motion to instruct for Morton, evi- | dently being afraid of the proxy vote. The fight ‘then commenced on the personnel of the delegation. MORTON MEN SUNSTITUTRD FOR CONKLING MEX. Collector Contey, who favors Bristow, wanted Farrow and Adkins left out of the State-at-large and Markham | and Wallace (colored) substituted. Bryant moved to | omit Whitely and substitute Wallace. The last motion carried. This gives Morton two votes on the State-at- large and Conkling two, ‘The report was further amended by substituting Col- | lins and Devaux (colored) for Wilson and Toomer, from | the Firat district. This takes two certain votes from Conkling and gives*one to Biaine, and it is thought two, Biaine’s inends claim both tha new delegat The delegation at the latest count stands—Conkling 8, Morton 7, Bristow 4 and Blaine 3 This estimate is | based upon actual information and will hardly be varied, THE INFLUENCE OF THK ADMINISTRATION, expressed through Judge Morton, of Virginia, who, though bobbing around on his own’ account, will make | it convenient to drop in at the Southern Convention: has been sensibly felt. The federal officials have changed to Conkling in large numbers, and the most of Conkiing's strength has veen made in the last few days. The negro delegates pressea resolutions to in- struct for Morton and made a big fight on them. Afier some discussion the Chairman adjourned the Conven- tion sine die, the negroes shonting for a division on the question of adjournment until the gas was turned out.

The debts of the government were also accrmulating rapidly and the people ground down with taxes aud levies for money. On Goon FRIDAY, AvraL 14, the popular storm commenced to assume formidable proportions, ‘The troops deserted and joined with the popslace, and abasty council of the President, Vice resident and oillcers was held all through the night at the palace, The result was that Vice President Rameau early tho following morning procured a scbooner and was about transterring the contents of the Treasury on board her to be taken to Gonsaves when the storm burst andthe whole people few to arms. Rameau hastily retreated to the palace, where the President also was, By this time even the palace guards had joined the people, and the CONDITION OF DOMINGUE AND RAMKAU was very precarious, The American Consul, Mr, Bae sett and the British Consul, Major Stewart, wero com. munieated with, and repaired to the palace to try and prevont blood being shed. They ¢learly demonstrated to tho President that his government wus at an end and that he should at once take measures to. leave the country wnd conciiate the now furious revolutioniste or a massacre would onsuc. THE ARMY OF THE REVOLUTION, At this time, about two o’clock on Saturday aftern 15th of April, the revolutionary army, fully 8, strong, under commana of General Larquet, was ubout thirty-five miles from Port-au-Prince, The President proposed that the American and British Consuls should go and meet the advancing army and Propose an armistice of twenty-tour Lage a thathe would resign at the end of that time, They carrted the proposal to General Larquet and he agreed to the armistice, He then left his army where it was, with orders to come on by easy marches, and, with two of his officers, rode rapidly to Port-au-Prince. Ho ar- rived in the city early on Sunday morning and found the mob periectly wild’ and furious, Everything was confusion ana there was no one to restrain the blood- thirsty passions of the people, now thoroughly aroused. They charged General Larquet with having designs on the Presidency himself, and with a fierce yell of rage and with all the frenzy which actuated the Communists to such dveds of violence and blood in Pare they surrounded his house, The doors were soon bat tered in and a search made for the General. They dia covered bim hid away inacloset, and ina few mo- ments he wasacorpee. They flung his body into the streets and danced over it and most barbarously muti-y Jated it, GENERAL LARQUET did not sell his life dearly, us he had only a single bar- relled pistol, with which ho killed one of bis assassins, ie CRY was then rained to sack the palace, but the French Con- sul ana the Spanish Consul reasoned with the mob and quicted them a little, Then the two Consuls went to the paiace und offered President Domingue and bis wite and Vice President Rameau and his wite the protection of the Consulate building. The now thor- oughly frightened heads of the government willingly accepted the proffer stance, and the whole party, with tho French Consur one side and the Spanish Consul on the other, started to walk to the iN Consulat The revolutionists met them in the streets and followed thom, thoi passions every moment wax jug Wercer, Suddenly they BRCAMK UNGOVERNABLE, and the son of Monplasicr Piérre, rushing up to Vice President Rameau, shot him dead on the spot.

THE BODY OF THE VICE PRESIDENT was kicked about the streets of the city for two days and mutilated beyond all recognition, attor which it was thrown into a hole outside the city and covered up with stones. All the other Ministers of the govern- ment, or any ono who held office under Domingue, took refuge ily in the Consulate builaings, and were Jott unmolested, Alter being two days guarded in the French Consulate the deposed Presid got on @ schooner, and was taken to St. Thomas, where he now | 4 ~=6A military provisional committee was then organ- ized, with General Canai at its head, and partial order was restored.
