OUR SLUSHY STREET: ONLY BROADWAY TO BE CLEARED OF SNOW. From one end to the other Broadway is covered with dirty snow and slush. Aji the principal streets | are Mlledon each side with great heaps of snow and mud, while the sinailer streets and alleys are literally choked up with an indescribable compound, For this no remedy until the suow melts and the streets can be swept. The resson they give is that no money has been appropriated for the purpose of clearing away | the snow, aud the regular tund of the departwent 13 | Hot suffictent to allow of such extra expense. A | Hekatw reporter yesterday went to the new quarters of the Street” Cleanmg Department, at the foot of East Seventeenth street. Commissioner Nichols said that in a heavy suow like that which has been on the ground for the past six days the sweeping Machines are uot strong enough to do the work. Only one appropriation had ever been made for cleaning the snow, that was under Commissioner Disbecker. The department then obtumed $100,000, They asked for $50,000 this year, but vot a cent was given. Broadway wis cleaned of its snow by the department out of ts regular (und, and Commissioner Nichols says that Broadway will be cleaned from ena to end on or about the Ist ot January. With this exception there will be no street cleaning this wivter! | CLEAN THE SIDEWALKM Superintend Walling bas instructed the police captains to strictly evforce the ordinance requiring the removal of snow from the sviewulks. All violations ol the ordinance in regard to this matter are to be for- warded to the Corporation Counsel, who by law is em- powered to impose fines for offences against this ordi- bance, NORTH CAROLINA'S BONDS.

Lummis was appointed secretary, Theo Chairman stated the object of the meeting at sore Jength and entered into a tull exp!auation of the difler- ent clusses of indebteduess of the State of North Carolina, as recently published in the Hexatp, He thon presented to the meeting several schemes for the funding of the debt, one of which was, after some dis- | cussion, adopted. WHAT ACTION WAS TAKEN, Resolutions were passed to the effect that the new ¢ | bonus suould bear a rated interest of not less than six | per cont per anuum, the coupons to be payable in New York and Raleigh, and to be receivable for all State taxes and dues. Another resolution was passed pledg- ing the bondbolde:s to accept im full settlement of their present claims fifty cents on the doliurof the principa: and interest. | It the State should agree to these terms the funded | debt, according to the statement of the Chairman, wouid be $10,701,648, To carry out the object of the meeting, & committee of five persons Was appointed to viett North Carolina and present the case to the Gov- ernor and other officers of the State, consists of Messr: Bonner, William Lummis, W.

EXTRADITION WITH GREAT BRIAN Message of the President to the House of Representatives. CORRESPONDENCE ON THE SUBJECT. The British Government Recedes from Its Position. A More Comprehensive Treaty in Contemplation. Wasuinetox, Dec, 27, 1876. ‘The following message and correspondence on the subject of the extradition treaty between the United States and Great Britain were sent to the Senate y day and to the House of Representatives to-day. Senate regarded the communication as confidential and, therefore, refused to allow publicity to it:— To tux House oy RePeesenTatives— When Congress adjourned in August last the execu- tion of the extradition article of tho treaty of 1842 between the U ui States and Great Bri interrupted. The United States had demandea of H Majesty's government the surrender of cortain 1 tives irom justice charged with crimes committed within the jurisdiction of the United States, who bad sought asyium and were found within the territories of Her British Majesty, and had, in due compliance with the requirements of the treaty, Jurnished thi evidence of the criminality of the fugitives, which ha been found sufficient to justify their apprehension and commitment for trial as required by the treaty, and the fugitives were held and committed for extradition, Her Majesty’s government, however, demanded from the United States certain assurances and stipulations as a condition for the surrender of these fugitives, As the treaty contemplated no such condition to the performance of the obligations which each goverument had assumed the demand for stipu- lations on the part of this government were repelled, Her Majesty’s government thereupon, in June last, released two of the lugitives (Ezra D. Winslow and Charles J. Brent) and subsequently released a third one (Wilham KE, Gray), and, retusing to surrender them, set them at liberty. . In a message to the two houses of Congress on the 20th day of June last, in view of the condition of facts asabove referred to, 1 said:— qT adhered aunulmen der these cireu port with the y ake demands upon that go eriminals nor to entertain aay. acter trom that Article 11 of th article (that relating force until ous or the other o! the parties should signily 1% wish to termioate it, and po longer.” In view, however of the great importance of an ex- tradition (reaty, expecially Letween lwo states as in- tunately connected in commercial and social relations are the United States and Great Britain, and in hope that Hér Majesty's government might yet reach a dil- ferent decision from that then attained, | abstained trom recommending any action by Congress terminating the extradition article of the treaty. 1 have, however, decliued to take any steps under the treaty toward ex- traaition, It is with great satisfaction that I am able now to announce to Congress and the country that by the voluntary act of Her Majesty’s government the ob- stacies Which had been interposed to the execution of the extradition articles of the treaty have been re- moved. On the 27th of October last Her Majesty's represeniative at this capital, under instructions trom Lord Derby, informed this government that Her Ma- jesty’s government would be prepared, as a temporary measure, until a new extradition treuty can be cou- cluded, to put 1m force all the powers vested in it tor the surrender of accused persons to the yovernment of the United States, under the treaty of 1842, without asking tor any engagement as to such persons not being tried in the United States for other thun the offences jor which extradition had been demanded. 1 was happy to greet this announcement as the removal of the obstacles which bad arrested the execution of the extradition treaty between the two countries, To reply to the note of Her Majesty’s represent: tive, after referring to the applications heretot made by the United States tor the surrender of fugitives referred to In th laia before Congress at its iast session, it was siaied that on an indication of readiuess to surrender theso persons an agent would be autborized to receive them, and I would be ready to respond to requisitions which may be made on the part of Her Mujesty’s gi meut under the tenth article of the treaty of 1842 which 1 would then regard as ip fut! force until such lume as either governm shall avail itself of the right to termmate it, as providea by the elev. enth articie, or until a more comprehensive arrangement can be reached between thi two governments im regard to the extraditi of criminals, an object to which the ‘attention of government would gladly be given, with au earnest desire tor awutually satisfactory result, A copy of the correspondence vetween Her Majesty's represents tive at this capital and the Secretary of Staie on the subject is transmitted herewith. It is with great satisiaction I bave now to announce that Her Maesty’s government, while expressing its desite pot to be understood to recede trom the inter- pretation which in its previous correspondence it bad put upon the treaty, but, having regard to the prospect of a new treaty and the powers possessed by either party of spontaneousiy denouncing the old one, caused the rearrest, on the 4th inst. of Brent, one of the fugitives who bad been previously discharged, and, alter awaiting the requisite time wituin which the fugitive 18 entitled to appeal and to apply for bis discharge, op the 2st inst, surrendered bim to th agent appointed on bebalf of this government to r ceive id convey him to the United States. Hi Majesty's governinent has expressed an earnest desire vo rearrest und deliver up Winsiow and Gray, the other fugitives who had been arrested and committed on the requisition of the United states, but were released be- cause of the refusal of the United States to give the assurances and stipulations then required by Great Britain, These persons, however, are believed to have escaped trom British jurisdiction, as a diligent search has jatied to discover them. ‘ ‘As the surrender of Great Britain, without condition or stipulation of any kind being asked, removes the obstacies whch interrupted the execution of the treaty, I shall no longer avstain from making demands on Her Majesty's government for the surreuder of tugi- tive criminals, nor irom sustaining requisitions of that character from that government under the treaty of 1842, but will again regard the treaty as operative, hoping to be able belore long to couciude with Her M jesty’s government a new treaty of a broader ava more comprehensive nature.

Since the article in the Heap on Sunday last re- garding the deplorable financial condition of the Man- battan Club the affairs of that aristocratic democratic organization have possessed a considerable degree of interest for the preas and the geveral public.

A few days ago a circular was put jortn by the maue agement and addressed tu every member of the club. ‘Li's contained a full account of the assets and liabil- tes, and called for the co-operation of every member in order Lo bridge over the present difficulty.
