10 70 be hoped, for the sake Of our own credit on
the score of humanity, that the proceedings of
Spanish jurisprudence iu his case may be such as
to show that only justice has been done him in the
forum to which we have RENTED him, even if
something less than justice, as justice is under
stood In this country, has been done him by
our authorities in the circumstances under which
they have delivered him up for trial The
civilized world sits in Judgment not only on
the crimes of men, but on the processes by which
THESE crimes are redressed and when justice is in
ncted against the received rules Of Justice men never
Iail to resent the wrong done to the latter what
ever may be their adherence at the wickedness of
the criminal. Ii was thus that all Europe thrilled
with indignation and horror at the conduct of the
king OF Saxony when, in the early part Of the
18th century, he delivered up the person Of the
unhappy Patkul to the vengeance of his sovereign,
Charles the XlIth of Sweden, who broke him on
the wheel. Men refused to consider the provoca-
tions which that noblemsn had offered to his King,
or the offences he had committed against his coun-
try, In their resentment at the wrong done to the
"rght Of asylum" in his person. And SO, what
ever may be the crimes of Col. Arguelles, (about
which we know nothing personally, as the Presi-
dent of the United States knows nothing legally,)
the civilized world in its respect for the principles
OF public law and private right violated by his clan
destine arrest and deportation, will not hesitate to
deplore the process by which this Spanish sub
ject has been brought to justice.

position, and at 10 r. M the Sixth Corps Wrghts set
out to occupy it.
"We have not yet heard from Wright or Sheridan this

upon Wnghts column This morning the enemy are also
moving heavy column in the direction The order
has just gone to Warren to fall upon their flank.

1t i, not improbable that Fictitious accusation,
should be brought for the mere purpose Of pro-
curing the arrest and surrender Of fugitive
Hence it is that the careful provisions Of the sta
tute, regulating extradition in this country, com.
NIT to the judiciary-versed as that department
already is in all the proceedings preparatory to q
trial-the duty of arresing the fugitive and Of as
pertaining whether in facts crime has been commit
ted, and whether there is sufficient evidence to
hold the accused for trial When these questions
have been settled by the judiciary, and not till
then, doe, the nation consent to deny the right
of asylum to the fugitive who has sought its pro-
lection and deliver him into the hands of the alien
prosecutor.
1t is needless to add that in the case of Areuel.
les the Executive has assumed all the authority
which by the Constitution is distributed among
the treaty making power, the law making power,
and the judiciary. Without treaty, without law,
and without judicial action, the Executive has as
sumed to do what only all three combined could
lawfully empower him to do
And in making this statement as proposition
of law, we indulge in no personal elimination Of
the Presidents motives, AS he makes no legal
defence Of his conduct, but bases that defence
on his good intentions, we make all due allow
ancc for such good intentions while bringing his pro-
ceediDg, to the bar of the law he has transcribed
Ii is one Of the Inconvenience which attach to
such errors of judgment, and which illustrate their
practical dangers, that all punishment, visited
on criminals outside of the laws array GER
tain sympathy in favor of the culprit however
guilty he may be. COL Arguelles may be the
cr uinal he is represented to be by the Cuban au-
thortios, but these authorities now seized Of
his person in way not authorized by cur laws,
the penalty he may be called to pay for his alleged
crime is one which concerns the honor of the
nation in the eyes of the civilized world, II
