THE ExTRADITION OF KANE.

The surrender to the British Government
of Thomas Kaine, an lrishman, charged
with attempting the life of FELLOWSHIP
lect and therefor fleeing to this country
naturally excites much feeling among our
Adopted Citizens. We trust 1t will ex-
cite reflection also.
Kaine, it appears, was imPelled to the
oflense charged upon him by some VIOLA
ton of what is claimed as Tenant Right
in the leasing of lands by one party over
the head of q resident tenant-a trluai
source of violence and outrage In Ireland
His crime, therefore, is somewhat Political
in character-that is, impelled by public
and generel, rather than a selfish and per-
sonal consideration. He is thence regarded
by many as victim to unjust laws before
he became a criminal.
We do not propose TO argue the case
Our Treaty stipulation with Great Britain
for a mutual surrender of criminals is wise
and just, yet it may be abused. Great
care must be used that men are not sur
rendered as criminals who are only de-
feated rebels. A single case of glazing
abuse of this compact would give rise to
an irresistible demand for its termination.
We think this power of extradition
ought to be exercised by regularly aP-
pointed judges of the U. S. Courts, and
not by any mere Commissioner. No more
important or critical duty tina, this Of Ex-

Perhaps our Irish fellow citizens who
look into this Extradition case may obtain
from it a clearer idea of the beauties OF
that Fugitive Slave Law which they so
generally approve and uphold. That like
this, seizes men and conveys them tar

require any proof that they have done
wrong. On the contrary. man claimed
as fugitive from Slavery may be whirled
away into perpetual bondage while every
one knows and no one disputes that he Is

faithful only increases his value as chat

ABOUT BETTING.

"What is your candid opinion about
the result of the Presidential Election? J"
ask half dozen persons, some known and
some unknown to US.
why, gentlemen, we have but one opin-
ion, alike for the public and for our friends
and that is that WINFIELD ScoTT can't be
beaten. We don't believe any man could
have been put up who could have beaten
him, and we feel very sure that franklin
Pierce cannot.
"Well, then, you consider it safe to bet
on Scott 2 "
Safe to bet! No, Sifs it is never
safe to bet, because it is never right to bet.
1t is never safe to do wrong, pernicious,
demoralizing act. 1t is never safe to do
that which will instigate bribery, corrup-
ton and fraud. 1t is never safe to set in
motion all the machinery of villainy and
swindling. There are a great many I'M
scIupulous persons ia the land, and some
Of them are Tor may beg Inspectors OF
Elections. A million dollars bet on the
Election might bride some of these to let
in votes that they knew were illegal and
count out votes that they knew were never
fairly voted in. But for betting, Henry
CLAY, who had a clear majority OF the
legal votes, would have been the declared
and legally returned President elect in
1914. He was cheated out of this State
and Louisiana by fraudulent votes and re-
turns. which betting did much to instigate
and secure.
Wings avoid betting! Shame the man
who comes around staggering that he will
bet so nuch on this or that candidate.
What has that blockhead's argument to
do with the melits of the question! Our
laws sternly forbid betting, as they ought,
and disffanchise those who engage in it.
Half the men who bet to make money will
refuse to pay or sue to recover their stakes,
if they lose. Any honest man who has bet
on several Elections, aid always paid when
he lost, will find that he never received
nearly all he won; so that if his winnings
and losses are equal, he is still practically
several hundreds of dollars out Of pocket.
- But we don't like to be blufled by
those who offer to bet on Pierce

THE CALIFORNIA TAX ON CONSIGNED

GOODS.
The most important feature in the news
by the Crescent City, as announced yester-
day, is the opposition of the San Francisco
merchants to the recent enactment of the
Legislature imposing an onerous tax on all
imported and consigned merchandise. The
law in question was passed on the 23d of
April last, at the late session of the Cali
fornia Legislature. 1t provides that all ar
ticles of commerce, and in fact every kind
of property whatever, imported into Cali
fornia, and owned by persons not domiciled
within the State, shall be subject to tax
of eighty cents on every hundred dollars Of
the amount of sales, In order to collect
this tax, the merchant is obliged to exhibit
his books and papers to the legal officer or
to answer under oath any questions that
may be put in regardto the consigned goods
under the penalty of fine not exceeding
one thousand dollars.
The mercantile community of San Fran
cisco are equally indignant at the character
of the law and the means for its enforce
ment. They oppose it on the ground gifts
unconstitutional maintaining chat 1t Is
in direct violation of that section of the
United States Constitution, which provides
that no State shall lay any duties on i'm
ports or exports, without the consent of
Congress. Or if it is not a manifest in
frinement of that section, it is certainly an
evasion, and one that will not receive the
sanction of the Courts. They complain OF
the law, moreover, as being wholly un-
necessary. They do not wish to shirk
taxation. They are glad to share the pub
lie burdens in due proportion. But a
sufficient revenue can be raised without the
aid of such an arbitrary measure. The
State can be saved from bank ruptcy, with
out compelling the city of San Francisco
virtually to pay one half the expenses Of
Government. Nor are the means provided
for the enforcement of this tax less odious
1t places the transactions OF the merchant
at the mercy Of the collector, who has the
power to demand an inspection of the mos
confidential papers. Such right of search
is repudiated by the men of business ii
San Francisco, as essentially tyrannical
vexatious and oppressive. There is nc
doubt that the most active measures viii
be pursued by the merchants for setting
aside the law. They have already sub
scribed the sum of $4,000 to test its &C
cordance with the Constitution, and are
determined TO resist its execution, at what
ever cost. The question is one which
comes directly home to shippers of mer'
chandise in our Atlantic cities, and thu;
far we find perfect uuanimity of opinion
in opposition to it in San Francisco.
