"RIGHT OF ASYLUM The Cleveland
convention had a good deal to say about
the right of asylum, the remarks being
pointed and illustrated by the recent
rendition of the slave dealer Arguelles
to the Cuban authorities, notwithstand-
ing we have no extradition treaty with
Spain. We should expect the radicals
to be the last to find fault with this ac
ton of the government. The return OF
Arguelles will release several thousand
slaves from bondage, Is this nothing
in radical estimation? Or are the par
tisans of Fremont so blinded by hate of
Mr.. Lincoln and his administration, that
they have lost their affection for the
slave? If the president went beyond
the law, surely it was case where he
would be justified in stretching point,
if ever, and the error, if any, has lean
ing towards virtues side. But it is not
SO certain that this action of the govern
ment was not in strict accordance with
international law, Authorities differ on
this point. Some very excellent author
tiles hold that every government, by the
strict principles of law which govern
nations in their intercourse with each
other, is bound to deliver up great Grim
inals, though there is no special treaty
to that effect. In this view of the case,
and it is a tair and common sense one,
the president acted exactly right, for
Argueles was a great villain, if there
ever was one. But anyhow, it don't
look well in the radicals to make a fuss
over it. They can't do it and be sincere
in their lamentations over "the poor
slave."-SpringGeld Republican.

A Great Hattie In Africa Defeat OF
the King of Dahemey's Troops by
the Egbos.

the Egbos.
The English papers received by the
Asia contain accounts OF a sanguinary
battle in Africa, between the troops Of
the king of Dahomey and the tribe OF
the Egbas. The Dahomian AmaZons
fought bravely but the Egbas won the
victory. Ii Is related in the description
of the fight that the king of Dahomey
marched In person on the 10Th of March
at the head Of ten thousand troops (male
and female,) and on the 10th attacked
the Egbas in their fortified town Of Alb
beokuta-a place Of two hundred thou
sand inhabitants The king had three

the inscription upon the breech, OF
"Mexico, 1875" He advanced till with
In fifty yards of the wall of Abbeokuta,
then suddenly displayed his flags, ex-
tended his lines and marched rapidly to-
wards the wall, The Egbas immediate
ly opened tremendous fire on the lines,
and arrested them at once. In the ad-
vancing columns were Amazons, who
fought bravely and desperately. Many
of these furies climbed the wall, which
is more than fifteen feet high; but, so
soon as they reached the top, the Egbas
dragged them over and slew them. One
Amazon, who had O.e of her hands cut
off in her efforts to Chamber over the
wall, discharged her musket with the
other hand and shot an Egba. She re-
ceived a severe blow from sabre, and
fell backwards into the trench. The
Dahomians were utterly defeated. They
lost upwards of one thousand in killed.
and the number of prisoners is said to
exceed two thousand. The Dahomians
fed in two divisions. In front of the
division which took first to flight was
the doughty king himself. The Egbas
pursued both divisions, and slaughtered
the fugitives without mercy and with
out pause. Seeing the discontinue Of
the king, the inhabitants of the neigh
boring crooms turned out and Joined
heartily in the general massacre. OF
his three field-pieces, the king had the
misfortune to leave two in the keeping
of the Egbas.
Another account says of the fighting
of the AmaZons
Some of the desperate Amazons
rushed to the wall ION the part defended
by the christian converts and the people
or Ieun) with ferocious resolution,
plunging into the trench and endeavor-
ing to scale the wall Others attempting to
enter the town by excavation under the
wall. They were shot in the trench or
cut down in the mad attempt to scale
the wall. Some Amazons gave the de-
tenders little annoyance, for when in
the trench they threw large stones over
the wall on the Egbas, and snatched
away about six muskets from the hands
| of the Egbas in the act of firing BY al
equal determination on the part of the
Egbas they were killed. No fewer thar
seventy-two dead Dahomians were coun

point. On the Owl side of the wal

BOGUS PRocLAMATIoNs.-T late forg-
ed proclamation was not the first thing
of the kind that has startled a nation.
During the war of 1914, between Eng
land and France, several English specu-
lators concocted a letter purporting to
be signed by an aide-de- camp of Lord
Cathcart, announcing defeat Of the
French by the allies, and the Staying of
Napoleon by party of Cossacks. The
news was believed, the funds took an
upward start, and the forgers reaped a
golden harvest. The spectators, who
comprised Charles Random de Beranger,
Sir Thomas Cochrane, Andrew Coch-
rane, tombstone, Richard Claiborne Butt,
Ralph Sandom, Alexander McRae, John
Peter Holloway, and Henry Lyle, were
arrested and tried on the charge of con-
spiracy against the public welfare. All
were convicted. Cochrane and Butt
were fined $1,000 each; Holloway $500.
All were sentenced to one years impris-
onment, and Beranger, Cochrane and
Butt, in addition, put in the pillory OPP
posite the London Exchange for one
hour. In this case, the forgers proclaim
ed victory for their country, while
Howard, the New York Spectator, an
nounced great disaster, and was there
fore guilty of much greater crime
against the public welfare.
