SPEECH OF MIR MACDONALD ON THE RENDI-
TIoN OF CRIMINALS.

SPEECH OF MR. MACDONALD ON THE RENDI-
TIoN OF CRIMINALS.
OTTAWA, March 18.-In the Parliament last
night Mr.. Mckenzie moved an address tor the
correspondence regarding the abduction OF
Allen Macdonald by the United States OFF,
erals. Sir John Macdonald said the papers
would be brought down. He was bound to
say that the answer given by the British
Minister at Washington to Secretary Seward
was what had been stated in the newspapers.
The papers in this case had been sent by him
to the government of the Dominion, He had
been greatly surprised 10 learn that the per-
SOUS illegally abducted had been allowed TO
be retained ty the United States authorities
without being sent back to Canada. II was
due to the House and to the country that some
explanation should be made OF the extraord-
mary conduct of the British Minister at
Washington. (Hear, hear.) We should not
permit any British Minister to take upon
himself to say that he would surrender the
rights and liberties of British subjects whom
American authorities had no right to detan.
The motion was then carried, and Mr.. Mac
Donald introduced a bill for the extension Of
the extradition treaties. He explained the un-
equal operation of the present law. When
ever a ielon fled from Nova Scotia, for i'm
stance, the United States had to be applied to
for his surrender. The application and an
swer consumed a month or two, and all this
time the telon was at large nnder no restraint,
Ii such elon fled from Canada it was poo
yided by the United States that on informa-
ton before certain officers the man should be
arrested and held for two mon this If necessary y,
in order to allow time for an app ication from
the Canadian government to the British Am
bassador at Washington to obtain the rendi-
ton Of the criminal. The object Of the pre- re-
sent bill was to extend the provisions OF the
act in the Province of Canada to the whole
Dominion. The bill was read for the first
time, and the second reading ordered for next
| Friday.
| The government has appointed DR.. Upper
Commissioner to England to endeavor to
| bring about settlement of the Nova Scotia
difficulties, and counterfeit the influence OF
howe and others from that Province. Mr.
clined.

CONCORD, March 18.-The Democratic Board
of State Committee is breaking up and the
dlsorganization of the Democratic party in

ception. A recent dispute between two we'll
known and influential Democratic managers
of Concord came almost to blows, and the oc-
currence is now theme of gossip throughout
the city. This morning the resignation of j.
