More About the RenOs.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Post writes as follows with
reference to the New Albany tragedy:
1.-THE action of the mob in Selling |
and hanging these men, It Is appre-
hended. will seriously embarrass the. |
Cabinets at Washington aud London, |
and comnlicate negotiations already |
nandinc. After returning from church
TO- dav. Mr.. Seward paid his respects
to Mr.. Thoraton, add explained the
violent character of the proceeding IN
Indiana, and gave the British Ambas-
sador every assurance that the Gov
ernment of the United States wculd
do its whole duty in the premises.
Mr.. Thornton bluntly replied that he
could not exactly perceive what was to
be done, since the parties whose pro
lection had been guaranteed by the
United States had already been hung
in violation OF the pledge given. Mr..
Seward has evidently another nice
diplomatic question to settle before
he retires from the Department o.
State"
To this the indianapolis Journal
replies:
Any serious embarrassment of
the Cabinets at Washington and Lon
don," or any complication of pending
negotiations, from this affair, can
only arise from an impertineDt as
sumption by England of a right to
see that we execute our own
laws against our own Grim
inals. As We have before said, the
surrender of a portion OF the muir
dered men to US by Canada. gives
that Government no more right 10
follow them with its interest or inter
ference than if they had never been
within its jurisdiction Its duty
ended 10 ascertaining that there was
such proof OF guilt as would have
placed them on trial under IT. laws.
It was merely an examining Court,
and its function terminated with the
examination.
Does the surrender of suspected
criminals give the Canadian Govern
ment no right to look after them
Suppose suspected criminals were
subjects of the Queen who had beer

In this connection we copy the fol

occurred at the funeral of the REHos

AN INCIDENT AT THE RENO FUNE

quainted with her, as young lady oil

It is also said that she possesses 8
large part of the brains Of the family,
which, added to an infexible will anC
an intense desire for revenge, will
sooner or later bring ruin or death
upon some of the murderers of hel
brothers. As their funeral at Sey-
mour, a few days ago, the attendance
was quite large, and among other per
sons, a resident of Seymour, whose
name we nave forgotten, dropped
in. He had scarcely made his
appearance, before Miss Reno rose
from her seat, and walking across the
room, fercely told him that that was
no place for him, that she recognized
in him one of the murderers of heI
brother, and if he did not leave i'm
