What will be Done with the remains
Arrested by the United States
Forces?
From the New York World, 4th

From the New York World, 4th.
We suppose they will be held until it is
seen whether the British authorities de-
mand their surrender under the Extra
dition treaty. The crimes included in
that treaty are "murder, or assault with
intent to commit murder, or piracy, or
robbery, or arson, or forgery, or the utter
auce of forged papers" The charge un-
der which these escaped Fenians will be
demanded, if at all, will be either murder
OF robbery-murder in taking the life OF
Canadian subjects, or robbery in forcibly
seizing their property. Whether either
charge could be sustained may be open to
doubt. Killing in self-defence is not muir
der; and the Fenians did not fire till they
were first fired upon. Manslaughter is not
| included in the treaty. AT any rate, 1t
will not be for the British Government,
but for American judges, to decide
whether these men are liable to rendition
under the treaty. They can be surren-
dered only after an examination before a
| Judge, and on his certificate; and the rule
| laid down in the treaty for his guidance,
is, that the surrender shall be made "only
upon such evidence of criminality as, &C.
cording to the laws of the place where the
person or fugitive shall be found, would
justify his apprehension and commitment
if the offence had been there committed
! If the British Government should de.
mand these escaped Fenians, or our judge:
should decide that they are not liable tc
surrender, they are subject to trial and
punishment for the violation of our owl
laws. Every person engaged in setting OF
foot military expedition within our terri
tory "against any prince, or State, or any
colony, district, or people, with whom the
| United States are at peace" is liable t.
three thousand dollars fine and three
years Imprisonment. We suppose that
General Sweeney and his coadjutors
who have never left our soil, are as liable
under this statute as the actual commander
| of the expedition.

ALLEGHANI SPRINGS,
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VA.
More than forty years ago the water OF these
Springs had attracted attention, and had a local
reputation, which has been confirmed by time and
enlarged by the extension of its use, which in a
few years spread over the whole country, when, in
1883 this health giving fountain fell into the hands
OF an active and enerpriSng company. The water
was bottled and its use was extending to every
State in the Union, when the bottling was sus-
pended by the late war.
The present proprietors are happy to inform the
public that they are enabled TO present the
water again carefully bottled and as perfect as 10
quality rs when taken fresh from the Spring.
