The Canadian Abduction Case.

The Canadian government and press
are just now greatly excited over the
circumstances under which a refugee
from American justice was, as alleged,
forcibly abducted from London, Ontario,
by American officials, and carried to
Detroit The name under which the
man was known in London is Rufus
Bratton, and the officials arrested him
on charges under the Ku-Klux laws.
The British Minister naturally made
whence he was carried off, stating that
under the Extradition Treaty regular
legal proceedings could then be institut-
ed against him. The State Department,
of course, undertook to comply with the
demand, if the facts were as stated but
the first difficulty presented itself when
the attempt was made to find the where
abouts of Bratton and his captors.
This element of mystery in the case
tended greatly to complicate the matter,
as it was impossible to say whether the
whole matter was not trick gotten up
by the man and his friends the more
thoroughly to throw dust in the eyes of
his pursuers. 1t now appears that Brat
ton has been discovered in the custody
of the North Carolina United States
Marshal. A regular extradition warrant
had been secured for the capture of a
man named Avery. The Canadian of
ficials delivered up Bratton instead, and
hence the mistake Bratton viii be in
IDENTIFIED and returned to Canada, and
so ends the matter.

sBY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers like souls at
rest:
The stars shine gloriously, and all,
Save me are biest.
Mother love thy grave!
The violet with blossom blue and mlld, J.
Wave DER thy head-when shall it
Above thy child?
Ills bright flower. yet must
Its bright leaves to the tempest bow
Dear mother it's thy emblem-dust
Is on thy brow
And l could love to die,
streams,
By thee, as erst in childhood lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage of my Unless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood
dear
With bitter tears?
Aye. must L linger here,
A lonely branch upon withered tree,
Whose last fraiI leaf untimely scar,
Went down with thee2
Oft from 1ife's withered bower,
In still communion with the past turn,
And muse on thee the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening psle,
Bows like mourner on the blue DIM
wave,
stray to hear the light winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
| gaze above-thy look is imaged there
/ listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come, while l may press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those
mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child.

'rexas Democratic Convention.

CORSICANA, Texas, June ~.
The Democratic Convention has
adopted a platform which recognizes
the Cincinnati movement as a COM
mendable effort at reform, and expresses
profound satisfaction at the avowal of
the Cincinnati Convention of the suprem-
acy of civil law. Resolutions were
adopted instructing Congressman to de-
mand federal protection on our frontier
against the Indians and Mexicans, and
condeming the efforts Of Congress to
control our state land interests. The
Convention appointed large committee
to investigate the tenure by which state
officials hold their positions, and report
on the same to the Legislature. A mo-
ton to endorse Greeley and Brown, and
to instruct delegates to the Baltimore
Convention, was tabled by large ma
jority. On the seventh ballot for two
Congressman at large, Col. Willie and
r. r. Mills were nominated.

'E'Eae Geneva ArbIfrafiou--The Indi-
rect Claims Disposed of.
New YORK, June %.

NEW YORK, June %.
A special to the Herald from Geneva
says: 1t has at last transpired that the
question of indirect claims has been def
nitely settled-the American agent and
counsel having been instructed by their
government to declare that the United
States government did not seek a money
award for indirect losses, but only Ge-
sired a settlement of the principle ir-
volved. Lord Tenterden, on the part of
his government, called the attention of
the Court to the seventh article of the
treaty, which gives the arbitrator au-
thority only to consider claims in rela-
ton to money award, and submitted
that since the United States government
declared they did not seek a money
award for these classes of claims, they
could not properly be entertained by the
Court The American counsel there
upon demanded judgment on this issue
by the Court The Court took time for
its decision, but is known to have decid-
ed in favor of the point raised by Lord
Tenterden and against the admissibility
of indirect claims. This judgment will
be delivered, it is said, when the Court
meets next Wednesday, the Goth instant,
and is reported to be acceptable to both
governments. All the members of the
Court have left for Chamounix. They
intend returning Monday or Tuesday
next, when counsel on both sides will
exchange the results Of their latest in
structions and arrange the order in
which business will proceed. During
the interval, Lord Granville will negoti-
ate with Mr.. Fish on the subject. 1t is
believed that when the arbitrator meet
again the sittings will be public.

REcTIoN.-The Burlington Free Press
saws A note from Mr. Slade of Middle
bury, informs us that our account of the
doings of the Addison County Republi-
can Convention of the 10Th inst, was an
error that the convention during the
absence of Mr.. Skiff's friends at dinner
on motion of Gov. Slade of Middlebury
struck MI Skiff's name out of the re
port made by the nominating committee
and inserted Mr.. Trips. He says Il
did not make any such motion, nor have
any hand in it whatever. The motion
was made by Almond P. Topper, Esq,
of East Middlebury. Ny personal and
political relations with Mr.. Skiff are
perfectly friendly and have been for
years. l did not vote for Mr. Skiff's
nomination in the committee, and he
knew | was not going to do it, for | had
told him my preference was for Mr..
Trip, and he found no fault with me
for my preference"
