Each nation has » of the other and conti. | dence in its rules of evic nd its general adminis. | tration, The present moment is the most favorable for @ fresh and thorough reconsideration of extradition by these two English speaking uations, unhindered | by former treaty or statutory commitments. THe TREATY OF 1842. Sineo the treaty of 1842 is dead as to extradition, there is little advante in the toture to be geined by | discussing whether the interpretation of Mr. Fish or | Lord Derby was correct, ‘The controversy turned upon | the intention of the contracting parties as expressed in | the disputed section, Lord Derby, in his later note throws aside the legisiation of 1870 and stonds or talls on the textof the treaty, The ative words are | that each nation will, upon mutual requisition, + liver up to justice all persons,” provided they be charged | h any offence speci in the treaty and the com. mission of it is adequately proven, so that the ar may not be purely arbitrary. Each prow triminals so charged up to the “justice” of the other, There is no other material restriction or condition, and | there is no dofinition of what “the justice” of each is or shall be, Both nations promise that it any person capes from one country to the other, and that person is proved on prima facie evidence to have been guilty of | either of seven’ offences, he shall be surrendered to | “the justice” of the other, What justice? Justice for | what crime? The treaty is utterly silent, aud thus is fairly open to the inte! that id to the other substantially this:—“We will not take the trouble to arrest and deliver ‘All persons,’ but if you eatisty us that a person has cominitted either of the Seven epumerated offences we will surrender him to your own treatment”? The previous treaty of 1794 is quite as broad in its promises, excepting that it enumerates only murder and forgery. It declares and undertakes that cach “will deliver up to justice all persons who, bemg charged with murder or forgery commited hin the jurisdiction of either, shall seek an asylum | within any of the coantrjes of the other.” Not a word 4s said about trial and punishment fer other crimes, The definition refers to tho character of the erine | which will be an inducement and justifeation for the Burrendering government to put its a chine pretation h nation resting ma. ex. | in motion. And yet, on the terse and plicit language of the treaty of 1842, Mr. Fish and Lord Derby have taken the two conilicting views set forth inthe words of tho latter spoken in the House of Lords Th American conte’ reribed by treuty hay that when the forms pre- fone through, and when extra dition hus once been . the person’so extradicted fs for all purposes in the bangs of the government which has received him, although he thay have beea acquitted of the | charge on which the extradition was granted, although in the original demand for his surrender mo meution wa ° 0: any other imputed offence, and even although the tor which he is put on his tridla second time may be not included in the list of extradition crimes.

Why thould England trouble herself to revise the soleron a ld diplomatic indorsement of the United States upon a judicial charge of crime further than to | identify the offender? Why need the United | States institute a preliminary inquiry. before surrender to ascertain whether an English Grand Jury or magis: | trate has erred in ebarging a demanded person with the crime of murder?

My inquiry now only applics to Great Britan and her colonies where the Engiish criminal law is administered CAURKS OF THE CONFLICTING INTERPRETATION, It may be asked why this conflict ot interpretation of the treaty never appeared from 142 to 1873% And what was occasion of the difference at this last bamed date?

WHEKE DID W PECTING LAW! At the end’of this sketch of the promi in this now celebrated case of Lawrence it may be asked in what, if im anything, the government at Washington or its ollicers’ have — blundered! When the fraud was discovered the District Attorney was bound to lav it before the Grand Jury, and when that body found and brought into court indiciments against Lawrence ior forgery he was also bound to request hig extradition. The Grand Jury bad no reason to pause in its inquiries of fail to present the whole fraud to the courtin subse- quent indictments, If Mr. Mullens was in London, laithiess to bis retainer and his instructions or con- nived at the extradition on ove “bend and attidavit”’ instead of a dozen, and that fact was unknown to Gen- eral Schenck or the District Attorney ull Lawrence un- covered it in New York, that was most uniortunate, It Lawrence appealed to the President to enjoin the Dis- trict Attorney Gn a poiwt of treaty interpretation he was bound to take the opinion of the jaw officer Con- | gress provides, All this was thus a purely domestic matter, in whiel England had no right, up to that point, to intervene, as Lord Granville clearly explained and as Lord Derby ‘advised the Homme 0 THE WINSLOW CASE, White these things were going on over Lawrence some half dozen more forgers, murderers and felons had ted from our “Justice” and found asylum in Eng land, Among them was Winslow, who was also charged with forging something or otber, but what I do uot know, He was arrested, his prima facie guilt estab- but suddenly Lord ‘ican Legation in London that he would not be surrendered unless the legation agreed that the aceused should not be detaimed or tried in the United Staves “tor any offence, committed prior to his n the extradition erime, proved by the on which the surrender ts grounded,” } until has been restored, or had an oppor- tunity of returning to British’ soil, This agreement, or arrangement, Mr. Fist. informed the legaiion it was reply asion of the rupture of the extradition clause of the treaty of 1842, Without discussing the true interpretation of that treaty as an original ques- Von, or the iuiluence on it of the British law of 1970, or the practice of both governments under it, on all of which Lari Granville agrees with the American con- tention, it seems to me it would have been enough if President had replied “non possumus.’? y had no lawtul power under the treaty of 1842 to were the oc such a pledge.

A UNIQUE AUCTION SALE. Yesterday afternoon the furniture, safe, old records and reports of the “United States Supervisor of In- ternal Revenue of the District of New York,’” in the office at No. 83 Pearl street, were sold at auction and realized about $300. The office of Supervisor, recently abolished, was created by Congres in 1858, and has been filied in this city by Mr. 8. FR. Dutcher, Lucian Hawley, Mr. Birdsall (as Deputy), General Sewell and mr. Folk. The officers of tho defunct institution during its caroer seized upward of 1,000 tlicit distilleries, fur- nished an immense amount of evidence which helped | to convict the “crooked”? whiskey distillers of inf Wost, and broke up the Fifth ward illicit distilleries in Brooklyn in 1868, In one it saved the government $40,000, Which ‘the internai revenue collectors had failed to collect. The Supervisor and ten clerks are now represented by Revenue Agent Colonel McClear and one assistant. How collectors’ money accounts, stamps, back taxes, &ec., are to be looked after, under the new régime, 1s a question that remains to be solved.

COMPLICATIONS GROWING OUT OF THE RECENT FATAL CAS?. Dr. John G. Johnson, the physician who attended James Hunt, who died of yellow fever at No, 71 Cran- berry street, Brooklyn, has replied ip a card to the charges made against him by Dr. Otterson, the Health Officer of that city. The physician was aceused of Violating the law In regard to reporting contagious dis- eases, by making a false certificate of death, and thereby misleading the health authorities so that they allowed Hunt's body to be removed to Whitehall, N. Y. He says that he availed himself of the ability of Dra Homiston and Atkinson, to determine what was the true character of the disease, There was no positive evidence that this was yellow fever till Saturday afternoon, when biack vomit, the only accepted sign of yellow fever, app ared, The biack vomit was pub under the microscope and peaingranlies from the microscope to determine whether it was stale bile or really black vomit The broken down biood globules, which are the oovly proof of yellow fever, were found \o exist.

THE MAIDEN LANE BURGLARS. TWO OF THS GANG ARRESTED YESTERDAY. - Op Tuesday morning a gang of burgiars robbed the premises No, 43 Maiden lane, occupied by F. W. Wag- ‘ber, optician, and Hevry Enrich, fur dealer, carrying off goods valued at $11,000. Tho burglars entered by. {oroing open the tron shuttors of a window in the rear. ‘They lett by the front door at twenty minutes past six, ryitig Of their plunder in a wagon. Mrs. Bricn,* on jas of the building, and William Kelly, engineer iB adjoining building, saw them leave but suspected Fothing wrong, The’ burglars left behind | a vahsve. containing a full kit of tools, including & powerful s‘scclional jimmy,” sledge hammer, bits and ,bfaces, saws, chisels und false keys. From tho style of the burglary it became evident to the police tuat the parties concerned were clever and ex- perienced criminals. Throush the efforts of Captain Chinchy, of the Thirteenth precinet, two of the gang were captured yesterday, and the police are hard upon the track of tho others, Captain Clincby received in- formation that two men, who, flve weeks ago, hired a room at No. 154 Delancey street, representing them- selves a8 printers, were parties to the burglary. Ac- companied by Sergeant Ryan and Detective Parish be proceeded to the house and forced open the door, The men were absent. ,Concealed under the bed were forty-seven opera glasses, a number of telescopes ot the finest description, and three sets of furs. Furnished with a description of the men by the land- lady, the Captain started out and discovered them in a liquor saloon at the corner of Norfoik and Delancey streets, They were at once handcuffed and locked up in the station, They proved to be Thomas McGann, alias Brown, and William ©. Myers, both well known professional burglars. The property tound in their rooms Was fully identified by Messrs. Wagner and En- rich, and the prisoners wore recognized by Mrs. Brien and Mr. Kelly as two of the burglars, The prisoners, who were exiremely reticent, atter being brongbt be- fore Superintendent Walling, were arraigned before Justice Morgan at the Essex Market Court ana re- mapded until to-day. A SEWING MACHINE DIFFICULTY. Charles G. Danfels, a sewing machino agent, doing business at No, 278 Bowery, was arraigned before Jus- tice Wandell, in the Tombs Pojico Court, yesterday afternoon, on complaint of George C, Wallace, agent | for the “Howe Machine Company,” at No, 28 Union square, who charged him with receiving flve Howe machines, valued at $65 each, and one valued at $75,’ both of which had been stolen by a shipping clerk in the employ of the Howe Company. The machnes were found in his store, and it is alleged that he bought them for from £5 to $8. apiece, The accused claims thathe bought them be- heving that the shipping clerk, whose name is John Howard, had a periect right to sell them, and, asa matter of extenuation, stated that the machines ‘were delivered to him by the company’s wagon in business hours, as dozens of machines had been before. A | warrant was issued for Howard's arrest, but Officer Kiernay, of the Tombs Court sqnad, who was detailed toserve it, found the bird bad flown, Damels was committed for trial in deiauit of $2,000 bail A CURIOUS CASE. patch AGerman carpenter named Anthon Kohler, residing at No, 47 Ludiow street, was arrested nearly three months ago for stealing $40 {rom Miss Mary Wenr, of No. 110 Chrystie street, While he was confined in the Essex Market Jail he stated that a man named Henry Dessar, by representing himself as a lawyer, had obtained trom him pawn tickets for a gold chaia ahd ring worth $40, and a wotch valued at $25, Dessor was arrested and 4s now confined tn the Tombs in default of $1,000 bail. Kohler was again arrested on Tuesday for stealing $60 | from Caroline Botts, of No, 47 Ladlow street, ,On his | examination being completed yesterday ne was dis- charged, the evidence against him proving insul- ficvent. When leaving the court room he was onge more arrested on the complaint ot Anthony Oberiin of No, 47 Ludlow street who stated that a few weeks ago, Kobler sold bim a watch for $15 which was subsequently stolen from his room, He found the watch jn the pawnshop of L, Cohen, No 41 Canalstroet, where it had Deen pawned for $10, Mr, Cohen, who was in court, identitied Kohler as the man who had pawned the waich. The watch on being produced in court was fnlly identified as that which Koller claimed had been ob om him by Dessar three months ago, Jus- tice Morgan was at first inclined to believe that the charge was aconspitacy gotten up for the purpose of preventing Kobler appearing as complainant against Res ar, Dat finally decided to hold him for trial in detault of $1,000 bail to answer Oberlin’s complain MARVELLOUS ESCAPE, The people of Sharpstown, Salem county, N. J., were greatly moved recently by an occurrence that certainly is very remarkable, It seems Wilbut Stat- cup, the three and a half year old ebild of Charles Stat- cup, was drawn into the forevay of the large mill, went under the gate, a space of tive inches, passed into the centre wheel that drives the whole mill, came out under the steetiog into the waste hole, and was taken oat alive by Thomas Hewitt, He was carried home and examined by Dr. Newton, who found that the lad bad susiained no injuries except a iracture of one of the small bones of tue band. His escape is justly con- sidered miraculous, and, it is sald, could not happen again once in a thousand times without the little fel low being fea gled and torn to pieces. Tho jad was out playing the next morning with bis com- panions, bat he remarked to his mother that he did not want to go down tothe mill any more MAIMING POOR NEWSBOYS. Yesterday afternoon Jeremiah Niel, a newaboy ond bootblack, about thirteen years of age, was standing over the strect grating fronting No. 3 Ann street, waite ing the issue of the five o'clock edition of the Telegrams when some scoundrel below ran up through the grating a knife biade bound to a stick and cut the boy upon the leg. His screams brought an officer to his aid, and as soon as the immense crowd that had gath- ered could be cleared, the facts were made known. It appears that the regular eutrance to the area below the grating is at No. 3 Park row. The officer conveyed the boy thither, bat the occupants denied having injured anybody, and consequently no arrests were made, The wounded boy was cared jor and sent home, Another doy stated tat two days before, while standing on the grating whore the stabbing occurred, he had a jong needle thrust into bis foot [rom below. TRIAL OF CAPTAIN SEIBERT, Captain Jacob F. Seibert, ot the Thirty-first precinct, was arraigned before President Smith and Commis. sionors Erbardt and Wheeler at the Central Office yes- | terday, charged with having wrongfully preferred a charge of absence from post against Ofticer Dowling, of his command. Tt appears thar Dowling leit hig post Jor a short time on Hearmg the report of an explosion to learn if anyvody had been injured, and for so doing his captain placed him on trial Commissioner Kr- hardt not only justified the officer im what he did, but directed that charges be made against the captain, wio should, he have known better.

A fresh proof was furnished by the votes given of the extinction of Orleanism, or, rather, of the absorption of former adherents of the Count of Paris into the regular body ot conservative republicans, Opponeuts of the Republic are now divided into two classes, leg:timists and Bonapartists, ¢ ¢, into those who believe in the Old World fable of indefeasible hered- itary right, and those who avoweuly preier a despotic form of government to freo institutions, The imperial- ist faction is not strong at present, but it must never be forgotten that itis capable ot indetinito expansion on the occasion of a political crisis, If the Republic should ever fird itsol( engaged in a great war a first defeat might be fatal to it, FOR WAR France js not exactly prepared, ner new military rys- tem still requiring some years to get into working order, but she would not be taken altogotHer by a surpriso were Prussia to make a declaration of hostilities to-morrow.

The Gras rifle is allowed by German officers io be in no way inferior to the Mauser, French oilicers seeking leave of absence just now can only obtain it on condition of being ready to return at Amoment’s nolice—so full is the air of disquicting rumors, Possibly the fact that France stands ready, if not prepared, with her hand on her sword’s hilt, may tend on the whole to peace. Germany, one may be sure, will prefer to select a ime when the French are of their guard; while, just now, if Germany is quiet, Europe is (comparatively speaking) tranquil, France 8 less and less disposed to mix herselt up with THE KASTERN QUESTION, and French journais are almost clainorously calling upon England to set alluirs to rights in that corner of the world.
