MoAERRAL, April L. Southern .-rebe
sympthizers are having lively time here
to- day. Their leading organ has issued
the following extra, and they are circulat-
ing 1t thu oughout the city:
Infamous Conspiracy of the Provincial
Executive for the eztTGditiOa of tie st. AZ.
bans RGiders.-By one of those extraordina.
~ interventiOns by which persons frequent.
" defeat or reveal great crimes, We have
been placed in possession Of incontroFerti-
Bile evidence of the intention of the pro-
VlncIel executive to commit an infamy IN.
known to modern times, and by which
means it hopes to accomplish it. Aston
lshlng and almost incredible as is the
statement we are about to make, we not
only pledge ourselves to it, but we chal-
LANCE the executive to deny it. 1t will be
remembered that the charge against the
81. Alban raiders, disposed Of by Judge
Smith, was only one of several, but the
judgement of the court declaring the ac-
cused to be lawful belligerents, engaged
In an act of war not cogniEable by the
tribunals of q neutral State, virtually dis
poses of all the charges which arose out
of the st. Adams raid. The accused were
remanded until to-day for the purpose of
the prosecution of the proceedings, with
out abandoning the other charges, among
which Is one of murder.
They were also arrested on a warrant
charging them with breach of neutrality,
and on this they were formally remanded
for examination until Wednesday next.
The government is probably aware that
there is little prospect of obtaining cor
rection of the accusation, for, as Judge
Smith remarked. there is no evidence Of a
breach of neutrality having been commit
ted Having failed to obtain the extradi-
ton of the accuser by legal means before
an impartial tribunal, they have determi-
ned to attempt it by q conspiracy, which
the designation ''infamous" is too mild to
qualify.
On last evening Mr.. Cartier despatched
Mr.. Schiller from this city for Toronto, with
instructions to there obtain the assistance
of Mr.. Harrison, the barrister, and to pro-
coed with him to st. Ostheriues, aud there
obtain by any means and at all hazards,
warrant from some local magistrate for the
arrest of the st. Adams raiders, now con-
fined here on = charge Of breach of neutral
ity, and to return this warrant to Montreal
as rapidly az possible. In obtaining this
| warrant, We presume Mr.. Schiller will
make any little affidavit necessary.
The warrant is to include the name of
@. c. Clay, though it is notorious that he
left the province s6me weeks ago.
When the case of the st. Adams raiders
comes up this morning, it has been arranged
that the prosecution will decline to proceed
in the other charges, so that the prisoners
may be remsnded without bail or the bene-
fit Of the habeas corpus until Wednesday
next. By that time it is expected the st
Catharine warrant will have arrived. The
charges of a breach of neutrality here will
be withdrawn, and the accused arrested
under the substantiated authority will be
secretly removed to st. Cstharines. The
charge of neutrality there will fail. There
is no evidence and there will be no effort
made to procure any. Neither do the in
structions to Mr.. SchelI or Mr.. Hartman as
much ss hint at evidence; but the moment
that the accused are discharged they will
be re- arrested, and q demand for an extra
dition on the charges now pending will be
carried before the Toronto judges.
The st. Cstharines warrant is in fact the
cunning device by which the adjadica-
ton of the remainder of the charges
against the raider is to be transferred from
pure to a corrupt tribunal, and from
judge who refused to be the tool of a for
eign enemy at the dictation of the Execu
tive, to judge willing to pollute the ju-
dicial ermine by such subservieuce, and
to prostitute their Office by Viler conduct
| than has been Witnessed on the British
bench since the days of JefFies. Whether
the timely discovery and exposure of this
most infamous and damnRble plot will pre-
vent it's being carried out in its extents,
| we know not, but such is the conspiracy
that the Executive of Canada ia now en-
gagged in, and such the means they are Ia
king to effect the cowsrdIy aud cruel end
they have in view, of the murder of these
young men, declared free of sill guilt by
the tribunal here, before which they have
had so long, so patient and so thorough an
examination.
Such an outrage upon justice, such a
piece of superlative and reckless wicked
ness, such trampling in the mire of the
honor and good name of the country, can
be attributed to nothing short of madness,
which requires aud should receive restraint.
1t is the duty of the people of this city to
prevent its passage, if possible, at any
cost, or, if that fails, it will be their duty to
prevent its execution. If they fail in this
regard, the innocent blood which their ru-
lers are plotting to shed will be on their
heads, and on those of their children for
ever triple curse of Cain.
TORoH4o, April IA dispatch from
Montreal says:
The money voted by Parliament has
been paid the st. Aibans banks.
The Leader this morning has informa-
ton, which is claimed ss authentic, that
warrant is to be issued in St. GATHERINGS,
charging the st. Adams raiders with q
breach Of the neutrality act when they
will be brought to st. GATHERINGS. This
charge will be then dropped, and the pris-
oners will be brought before the Toronto
judges on a demsnd for eTtraditiou, in the
expectation that they will reverse the de-
cision lately given by Judge Smith, of
Montreal.
