ycrs and Others, the unfortunate French fugit;ves
were delivered up to the mercy of the unrelent-
ing Jew.
This extraordinary anxiety TO secure the per-
socs OF those old employees OF the Great Northern
Rai'fosd Company Of France ii capable OF ooly
one explanation Carpenter and Grelet had held
office OF high trust and confidence in the compa-
ny. They were ccngersant with all the secrets
of the directors in the financial management OF
the road There, as is unfortunately the case
here, too, oyer-issafs Of stock and other traudu-
lent appliances to raise money are not unfre-
,quently rerorted to. Whatever there was OF fraud
and remissnees on the part Of the directors was
known to these who had probably been seduced
by the example set before them to engage in SINH
Lar operations on their own account. And if
those victims of railroad iioancieiing aud Bourse
specuiaiions were permitted to remain in this
country, there was always danger to be appre-
Blended from thehr babbing too much Of what
they knew. II was to guard against this danger
that their extraditiOp, by fair means or foul was
determined on. 1t was to prevent posi-
bic revelations Of an unpleasant nature

His libeIsiity secured what the law, fairly inter-
preted and administered, would have denied,
The exuaditicn treaty was dstended so rs to
cover their case and the fugitives were al seat
back 10 France.
The action against Mess,s. Townsheud and Gal
braith ia one OF the concluding episodes in the
case. They have defended their clients with
learning, fidelity and ability. The argument
made by Mr.. Galbraith before the United States
Commissioner was conclusive on behalf Of the
prisoners. 1t was distinguished by profound le
gal learning. and sbowed in the clesrest possible
manner that his clients we're not ameuable under
the extIadition treaty U's efforts ali through
the case have exposed him to The unmeasured
abuse of lawyers and Journals in the service Of
Rothfchild, The greatest jew of any age; but he
has amply indicated himself from all t!eir asper-
sions and elarders. We presume that this action
is nothing more Than dying spssmo0ic attenp.
at further persecution. His answer TO it is as
complete and satisfactory as have been his an
swers to other calamnes connected with the
matter. VIII the mean creatures Of the Irijtae
