"lST4HoC$ CoSsrluAcT Or TIE PROVINCIAL
EXECUTIVE FUR TUE E1TnADI11oS OF TIE ST.
ALDAHs RA1pEns.-By one Of those extraordinary
iDterycnt1ons by which persons frequently cyade
gre: crimes, We h0ve hcen plnced IN possession
Of fncont1ovcttihlc evidence OF the intention OF
the Provincial Executive to com an int,my un-
known 10 modern tfmcs, nnd OF the means BY
which 1t Is hoped to accomplish It.
Astonishing and almost incredible ~
II the statement We asc about 10 make, we
not only pledge ourselves, but we challenge the
Executive to deny It. It will be remembered
thut the charges against the st. A1bans raiders,
disposed Of by Jud.c Smith, wac one of several
but the Judgment OF The Court declaring the &c.
euscd to be lawful bcllfsercn,s, engaged In act OF
war not cosnizable by tue tribunals OF II neutral
State virtually d!sposes Of nil the charges which
arose out Of the ST. Alhaus raid, and were incl
dents Of It. The accused were rennan1ed untt
today for the purpose OF allowing the prosecu.
tion TO proceed with or ahandon the other
charges among which fs one Of murder. They
were also arrested on a warrant charging them
wcre formally remanded for examination until
with breach Of neutrality. On this they
Wednesday next.
"Thc Government /. probably aware that there
Is little proepect'of obtaining conviction on this
charge, for Judge Smith remarked In his ;utg-
ment "iherc ls no evidence Of breach ol ncu-
ira ity having been commttted.''
Having failed 10 obtain the cSir1ditlon OF the
accused by icgs! me 4ns before an Impartial ..thu-
nal, they determined to attempt it By cuuspira'
cS which the designation "ipfanlous" Is too mtil
10 qualify. Las, cvcnln: Mr.. Carter dispatched
Mr. Schiller from this city to Toronto ,y,th In.
rtrue,iol4s to there Obtain the assistance Of Mr.
Aarrtson. tho hasristcr, and to proceed with him
to st GATHERINGS, nnd there obtain BY all means.
arl all hlzards. warrant from suul2 iocal tnas,s
tr1te Tor the arrest of the 81. Albans raiders now
confined here. on charge OF breach Of ncu.rali-
". and to return this warrant to Montreal az ra-
pldly IL possible In obtaining thi. warrant ne
Presume, Mir. Schiller *1ll make any little atida~
Wit necessary. The warran: Is 10 include Mr.C G..
Clay, although it IL notorious that he lvt the pro-
yince spmc weeks ago.
"Nhen the case Of the st. Aban: r.idcrs comes
up this morning. 1t has been areanccd that tho
prosecution will decline to proceed In tue other
charges. 80 that tho prisoners may be rcmandcd
without hail or benefit of kabrds corpus, until
"Wednesday next. By that time 1t is expected the
ST. GATHERINGS warrants will have arrived. The
charge for breach OF neutrality wifi bc Withdrawn,
end the accused, under substituted authority, will
he secretly taken to ST. Csthvrncs. The charge
Of breach OF neutrality there viii fail. There is
no evidence, and there wilt DC no effort made to
secure any. Ncitrr do the Instructions to Mr.
Schiller, or M1, Has1iaon, l.. much q. hint at eyi
dcnce or Witnesses; hut the moment the accused
arc discharged, they will be re.arrcsted
on demand for extradition, on tho
charges now pending, and abandond,

judges, Who cxt1adited Burlcs, and who are con.
eidered to be 60 far committed By their ruling in
That casc, and hy their cxpe,ssrl optuuns IN this

Government The st. Catherine. warrant Is in
fact the cunning continuance By which the adiudi-
cation OF the remainder Of the charges uKainst the
raiders ie to be transferred from pure to cor
rurt tribunal, and from judge who refused to be
the tool ofa foreign cncny at shc dictason Of the
Executive, to judges willing to pollnte the judi-
c.a1 er,nc by euch subacrrfency and to prostitute
their office hy yi1er conduct than has been wit
messed on the British bench since the days OF
JefftcGs. Whether the timely discovery aad cx-
posture Of this most infamous and dam
uahac p!ot will prevent Its being carried
out In its entirety, We know not;
hut tnch Is the conspiracy that ~ the
Executive OF Canada IL now engaged In, and such
