A private letter from the city of Mexico, dated
the 29th ultimo, states that up to that time Presi
dent ARIsTA had been unable to form Cabinet, on
account of the difficulty in obtaining suitable per-
son to take charge of the Treasury Department.
1t also stated that there existed much dssatisfac
tion with the administration Of the Government,
and that many Of the people apprehended gene
raj revolution. Business was very dull.

REFORMS IN CUBA.

The Spanish Government has, it appears from
several DEGREES published in the Madrid Gazette o
the lst instant concluded to introduce number o
reforms in the administration of its Cuban posses
sions. 1t is ordered that the President of the Coun
Gil is 10 have the control of all colonial officers
excepting such as are at this time especially en-.
trusted to the Ministers of Finance, War, and
Marine.
Moreover, Colonial Council is created, with
various powers, among which is that of proposing
through the President Of the Council of Ministers
who is to be placed over it, whatever measures i,
may deem expedient for the colonies. The colo.
nia section of the Royal Council is suppressed, and
that of the marine department is annexed to that Of
foreign affairs.
The Captain-General of each colony, respec-
lively, is to conduct its peculiar affairs subject to
the control of the President of the Council Of Min.
listers, aided by special councils. M LOUIS LOPEZ
BALLEsTRos, once Minister of Finance and Senator
of the Kingdom, has been made President of the
Colonial Council, and Lieutenant General DE EsPE.
LATA, Senator, and formerly Captain-G General Of
Cuba, and Count DE MIRAsoL, Senator, are amono
the subordinate Councillors named.
The object of the reforms is represented to be
an increased rapidity of the action Of Government
as well as to render it as certain and advantageous
to the colonies as possible. For the purpose O
greater security, the Spanish Government has de
mined to transmit its dispatches through its own
agents.-Phi Philadelphia .Anlerica,a,

FUGITIvEs FROM JUSTICE.

1t has already been announced by telegraph that WILLIAM
CHILDs, charged with obtaining goods under false preences
from Loney, Townsend Loney, of Baltimore had been
discharged by Judge HoADLr, of the Superior Court
Cincinnati, from the custody of officers Ze and WISE who
held him fugitive from justice from the State of Mary
land. The following the points on which Judge H.
founded his decision
l That the section Of the Constitution which authorizes
the surrender Of fugitives from justice compact between
the States and only be carried by State legislation
where any legislation is necessary give effect its pro-
vision
Cd The Of Congress Of 1793 requiring the Governor
OF State in which fugitive from justice may be found to
surrender him upon the equson of the Governor of the
State in which the crime charged have been committed
is unconstitutional
3d. The decision Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the case Of Prgg Pennsylvania in which
trary doctrine is affirmed, obifr dctum, and not
binding authority upon the State courts
4h The facts presented in the of Chds show that
he is not fugitive from justice within the meaning of the
Constitution The fact that is charged with commit
ting crime in State and found in another State does
not render him gre from justice There be some
thing done to show attempt to avoid prosecution in the
State in which the offence is charged been committed
It will be iecolleced that Childs was first brought before
Judge KEr, of the Commercial Court and after full ex-
animation and elaborate argument was held to answer to
the charge Of obtaining goods under false pretences in Mary
land he was again taken upon writ Of habeas corpus
before Judge HoADLr, with whom Judge WAnDRS of the
Common Pleas, sat in Judgment and as we have stated
was discharged. The Cincinnati Times says
"Judge McLEAS, Of the United States Supreme Court
refused to issue writ Of habeas corpus for Chds il being
UNDERSTOOD though not expressed that he considered the
case res dudcda and without the presentation first Of
precedent and argument he would decline TO act Judge
WARDES, also young man, agreed only partially with
Judges KEY and HoADLr Take altogether this case is
beautiful example of the glorious uncersnty of the
as we know Of and proves that law and principles are
made principally by the Judges"
