sYIRIT OF THE EcEEISs PREss


That journal, in so doing, repeats tbs argu.
nents in reply to the same paper, which we
published a week or two ago. Replying to
La CrOn:ea's plea in Justification CT Concha's
management Of the Estrampes case, the Union
fays:
"With the same malice that the 'Cronica'
Affects to ignore the purpose OF the treaty, IL
prstends to understand our views differently
from what they are expressed. While we de-
precate the moral degradation of a Govern
ment which has no means Of preserving its
rule excepting through the constant commits
sion Of Judicial murders, We have yet allowed
Spain place within the pale Of civilized na.
tons. AS such, We have not disputed her
right to judge those who offend her within her
Jurisdiction, whether they are citizens of the
United States or not, according TO her Owl
laws and by her own magistra'es."
Immediately on becoming informed of q
crime committed or intended by a citizen CT
the United States 1t is tho duty of the authori-
ty acquiring the information 70 select any of
tie legal magistrates CT the country, and pre-
sent to his judgment the details, so that he
may, with the privacy authorized by the
Spanish law, proceed at once to gather furtb er
proofs, if necessary, and to have the offender
arrested in conformity to the law; then to ex-
anime him, give him the privilege of appoint
ing whoever he pleases as counsel, and, finally
sentence him in the due course OF common law
at the arpo nted time, subject il every RESPECT
10 the decision and revision of his case when
required, by : .drish magistrates, and not by
soidiers."
