ALLEGED ASSASSINATION CONsPIRAToRS
IN CANADA.

APPLICATION FOR TIE SURRENDER OF THE
ALLEGED ASSASSINATION CONsPIRAToRs
IN CANADA.
From the Montreal Gazette, May 6.
We bear il stated in the streets we
have 10 direct authority for the statement
that the federal government have made
an application to the governor general Of
Canada TO have the persons accused N the
proclamation Of President Johnson given
up. Our impression is that this rumor
may have foundation, or We should not
state it. The extrsdition treaty cannot
be made to apply TO the persons mention
ed in the proclamation, as it does not in
cIude accessories to the crime Of murder,
and only refers to class Of otf4nces com
mit,ed within the jurisdiction OF the coun-
try making the demand for ex,rndiiion,
the perpetrators Of which have escaped TO
the neighboring country. If, then, de-
mand is made at all to deliver up these
persons, it must, we fancy. come under
The comfy of nations. and the appeal be
to the prerogative. OF .he ressonsblene. q
of such demand we have not the first
particle Of evidence on which to form a
Judgment. The presumption which !he
proclamation affords, is that the evidence
for such a demand, or such demand IL
sell. is not altogether relied upon, for it
offers a reward for arrest. which, in Cana
da, could not take place, except ia The
form of kidnapping and josiling the par
ties across the frontier. But sLey. that is
to say, Messrs. Sanders and Tucker, have
made public otfer voluntarily to appear
within the Jurisdiction Of the United
States TO be tried by court martial. on
conditions which impartial men vii say
are calculated to secure the ends Of jus
tice. Their offer, at the least. is not that
Of consciously guilty men. It Is, in fact
very much the contrary, and exhibits
great confidence in their owe sense OF in
nocence, They s;ipulate that the reward
offered for their apprehension shall be
given TO their lawyers to defray the costs
of their defence and if the federal au-
thorties receive The substantial pudding
Of their persons. within United States ur-
isdiction to be tried for the alleged Offence
much consequence to whom they bestow
their reward. The ctfer made to them at
least affords a sharp test, before The eyes
of the civilized world, Of the grounds
there really are for the most extraordinary
proclamation OF President Johnson.
There are passages in the letter little
rough in expression, but it would be mere
idleness to discuss the terms in which
men who feel themselves 10 be UNANIMOUSLY
accused repe the accusation against
them. If the federal authorities decline
the otler made them, they cannot, in any
event, have any reasonable complaint
against Canada.
After we had written the above, the tel
egraphic dispatches informed us that 4
New York paper announces that there
has been demand made to give up the
persons named in the proclamation.

THE CELEBRATIONrN ALBANY

ALBANY, July 5.-The celebration of the
Fourth exceeded anything Of the kind ever
witnessed in Albany.
Among those present and participating in the
exercises were Gems. Grant Fitzpatrick, Scho-
field, Sickles, Butterfield, Peck, Ricketts, De-
win, Kauts, Davis, Mulligan, Wool, Wallace,
Robinson, Jones, Randall and Roberts.
The generals were driven to the Washington
parade ground under the escort of the military
and the Young Mems Association. A building
had been erected for the occasion provided
with seats for 5000 people. The appearance of
Gen. Grant upon the stand was the signal for
hearty cheering, and in response he arose and
bowed to the assemblage. The tattered flags OF
about one hundred New York regiments were
then formally presented to the State, Gen But
terfeld making the presentation. Gov. Fen
ton being unable to respond on receiving the
flags, his address was read by Col. Hastings,
his private secretary.
The Grafton by Rev. DR.. Chaplin was nm
ished and thrilling production. He argued in
favor of universal suffrage.
Z At the conclusion of the exercises the crowd
rushed for Gen. Grant, determined to shake
him by the hand, and it was with difficulty
that he reached his carriage.
Everything passed off pleasantly.

THE FoCRTH.-Telegraphi dispatches show
that the national anniversary was celebrated
yesterday with noticeable emphasis throughout
the country. In Maine the day was celebrated
uniquely by lighting bonfires upon the noun
tain tops throughout the State.
The people of this city made much OF the day
in the cool suburban retreats, and in this way
the city was almost deserted in the hot hours
OF the day.
At night there was large attendance in the
grounds south of the White House to witness
the brilliant fireworks. AT times, when some
powerful pyrotechnic light brought out the i'm
mense assemblage IN full relief, a realizing
sense was afforded the spectator of the number
of human beings gathered in and about Wash
ington.
Throughout the day the thunder of heavy
guns from the surrounding forts, and the
changer of bells throughout the city went out
TO swell the volume of rejoicing sounds sent
mp from every locality in the land.
Thus far we have heard no serious acct
dent in this city or vicinity, ana very little dis

forcible attempt of some soldiers to get liquor.
