al GOOD D-EA-L OF MONEY"


II was a somewhat blunt inquiry, though
propounded in the blandest manner, that an
ex- Congressman put the other day to men,
Der of the last Congress-" Have you drawn
"your back pay1' The member had united
with his constituents since the adjournment
in hearty and indignant denunciaton OF the

The answer was trihe less prompt. "N-n-o.
"I have MT yet. But it IS there. have MT

"Woll, are you going to draw itl" pursued
the inquirer.
The member looked over his spectacles and
winked. Then he began to show just the
faintest ripple of an approaching smile. And,
after q little, he said, with great doliberation;
"W.e-l-l. do n't-know-I have MT drawn it

then. after "a moments cOntemplativo
pause, the coming smile rippled to the
surface as he added, IN burst II confidence !:
"The fact is, Fve been building h51se, and

And he was the average Congressman.

sand dollars don't go toward paying for that
expensive house, there's an end Of SHINING;
temptation has lost its charms, sinoceased to
be beautiful the adversary of souls has lost

who are looking at this back pay business in
the light in which our friend of the dialogue
is viewing it is likely to cover the amount into
the Treasury. Men who set up ga good
deal of money" and go round it in that
way looking at it wistfully from all sides, and
thinking how far it would go towards paying
for n house, almost invariably close the debate
with conscience by turning conscience out
of court and appropriatins the money.

are beginning to understand it also, and it Is
probable that by the time Congress conVenes
again, the men who are playing this fsst-and-
loose game viii be set down in the popular
estimation among the gTabbers.
The truth is, the discussion Of this whole mat
ter by Congressman themselves has never had
any seriousness Not more than half dozen
of them have felt at all earnestly about it. In
the minds Of the most conscientious OF them,
with few exceptions, the subject has been
considered in the light of policy rather than
of morality. They have considered always the
effect upon the popular vote, never the effect
upon the popular conscience or upon
the standard of public morality. Their argu-
ments have been full of sophi8trie5, and all
their reasoning fallacious. The popular sense
has applied the moral test TO the transaction,
but the lawmakers themselves have not been
able to comprehend it. Nothing will bring
them TO it but persistent agitation. COnyen-
tions of the dominant party, wherever they
have been held since the adjournment,
have, under the stress of public opin-
ion, passed resolutions of condemnation.
and undertaken to commit the party
to a position of hostility to the
measure. There is too much reason to believe
that most of this has been done in the spirit
of demagOguery, and that there is really no
more heart in il than in the empty talk of
the politicians, who have either drawn tho
pay already or are going round the temptation
very carefully and wistfully, and thinking
what help 1t would be III paying for new
houses. There is one plain duty for press and
people, and that is not TO give over the agl-
taton of the subject till something
comes Of it beside windy resolutions that
are full of sound aud fury and
signify nothing. The country needs to
be lifted once more to the level Of belief
in the earnestness and the honesty Of tho
people, and the gentlemen who compose the
Congress which meets next December are
those who need to be convinced of It. The
story will grow old and the debate tiresome.
perhaps-especially to those most interested
IN it; but there is no other way to accom-
plsh the work.

4 NOVEL EXTRADITTON CASE.

Carl Vogt, Prussian subject, charged with
having committed murder, arson, and robbery
in Belgium, fed to the United States to avoid
arrest. We have no extraditiOn treaty with
Belgium, but we have one with the German
States. The German Government claims the
RIGHT to try Vogt for his crimes; and, accord
ingly, makes o demand on the United
States Government for his surrender
under the extradition treaty before men
toned. The case coming before the
United States District Court in this city,
Judge Blatchford decided that Vogt should be
surrendered Before making out the necessary
papers, however. the State Department sub
mitted the case to the AttOrney-General Tor
his opinion. That functionary, in an elaborate
decision, elsewhere printed, overruies the
United States District Court and concludes
that Vogt is not within the jurisdiction OF
Germany, according to the terms of the ex-
tradition treaty, and cannot, therefore, be re-
turned.
1t is a novel theory, to say the least, that
has been set up by the German Govern
ment. When the extraditiOn treaty with
Prussia and the other German States was
made. there existed Prussian law pro-
Prussian subject for crimes committed out
side of the territory of those States. We must
suppose, however, that such trial and punish
ment are wholly contingent on the ability OF
the aforesaid Government TO catch the crlmi-
nal AttOrney-General Williams very for
cibly argues that to concede to Ger
many a jurisdiction over Belgium, by virtue
of German laws comedies similar jurisdic-
ton over France, Great Britain, and the
United States. This concession would place
Carl Yogt as much under the jurisdiction OF
Germany now as he was when his alleged
crimes were committed. The place where the
crime is committed must be within
the jurisdiction of the Government making
the demand for the eXtradition Of the
fugitive. If subject Of government which
has no extradtion treaty with the United
States commits murder in the jurisdiction OF
Great Britain, the Government of Great
Britain, having the necessary treaty with the
United States, may rightfully demand extrad-
ton Of the criminal, should ne flee hlther;
but. according to the opinion of our Bureau
of Justice, subject Of Great Britain, charged
with committing murder in the jurisdiction
of q government with which we have
no treaty of extradition, cannot be SO sur
rendered.
This seems to be in accordance with
common sense, as well as with the prin-
ciples Of international comfy. 1t must be
acknowledged, also, that the precedents and
instances quoted by the Attorney-General ma
terially fortify his opinion. The sufficient
answer to the demand of Germany is that the
courts of that Empire never had any power
to hear and determine the case of Fogt lie
never was within the jurisdiction of Ger
many after the alleged crime was COM
mitted. 1t is not possible, it would appear, to
establish that jurisdiction now, after the alleged
criminal has fled hither from another State.
The decision is one of some importance, as an
acknowledgment of the claim of Germany
would be sure to lead to future complications
with other nations.

poyed by the "Ring." d. NJ. Chauncey is the
only real estate broker whom the Ring felt
warranted to call upon to deny the allegations
made in this journal that real estate in Brook
Iyn was overtaxed, and deprecated in conse-
quence. He is director in the Trust Com
pany and President of another Ring bank, the
Mechanics. Ii. j. Cullen is o member of the
Judiciary Ring of Brooklyn. 2. s. Crooke is
another member, and enjoys the advantage of
having an occasional street opening or sewer

the Bridge Ring. William c. Kingsley is the
great contractor of Brooklyn, who, with the
aid of William b. Fowler of the Board of City
Works, gets two prices for every job in Brooklyn

not balance by more than million of dollars
in an expenditure of five millions, and whose
account with the Trust Company is reported

say that the "Ring" is not responsible for the

By o series of compromises it is proposed
in some quarters to let the Washington Mar
ket booths remain. The Corporation Counsel
is positive in his opinion as to the power
of the Board of Health to remove these
nuisances, and Of the duty of the Com
missioner of Public Works to aid in such
removal But the Mayor desires delay, and
the Superintendent of Markets proposes a
compromise. The Superintendent has, in fact,
issued orders for a general whitewashing and
cleansing. which are designed to correct the
worst features of the nuisance as it now exists.
1t appears, furthermore, that the original lease
hold OF these tenants of the public streets Is
forty years old, some of tho first permits
dating back as many years as that. This
then, is an ancient and time-hOnored abuse,
and naturally it Will take much hard work. to
kill it, But, now that the whole question has
been taken up in earnest, we hope it will not
be allowed to drop until it has been disposed
of in such way as to secure the best interests

A'phantom railway train is something new and
beats the phantom ship in impressive soienitty'
According 10 The Scranton Pa Free Press, since tho
completion of the northern division Of The d. H. and
w. Railway, many accidents have occurred IN the
neighborhood Of Factoryyille. There Is a deep
fiji" Just south of the depot. aud engines, trains
and passengers have rolled down the embanRmenI.
There is a sharp curve and deep cut north OF the
depot. through which the melancholy wind Is always
whistling and waing Some say that this Is specially
to be heard on the anniversary of one OF the most
fatal of the accidents and that unsubstantal tram
filed with ghostly passengers Is then seen passing
along the rail with the speed Of the wind, while the
shrill shricks OF men and break on tho siil-
ness of the night. The editor Of The Free IRE"

These sounds were never noticed until aItor the

There must be something in it, for the proprietor OF

TdderZOOk is not a nice name; one might very
Justly be forgiven for distrusting an UdfeZook,
The man who has inst figured in arrest on suspi-
cion in West Chester Penn, began career OF IN
fanny as William Uddeuook William was the
brother-n-law Of one Dr." GOss. an easy-going
person, who had an insurance on his hfa
for S50OO in favor Of bis vale, Who
was Udderzooks sister One day there was
an explosion in Go5s's laboratory in the cbauod
ruins of the building were found the blackened re-
mains of human body which was alleged by the
widow and Udderzook to be that Of Goss and on
which application was made for the amount Of the
life insurance So far, the is not peculiar one.
But not long after this Goss being supposed dead
stranger stopping at q vayside inn was taken
out in the wagon of a casual wayfarer, as though
the latter had courteously entreated the former 10
take a ride. The man in the wagon and his sup
posed new acquaintance disappeared. Months
afterward. the half-buried body Of murdered man
was found in West Chester woods. This must have
been tho missing stranger; and the man VINO IN
vited him to ride was probably Udderzook Tho
murdered man is supposed TO be Goss who, secretns
about his person all his available funds, had been IN
hiding while the farce Of collecting the $4,000 duo
ON his life insurance was carried on. Udderzook
must have known that Goss had his money about
him; he knew that Goss was as good az dead to the
community who had known him; why not kill him'
But. whose was the body found in the ashes OF
Goss's laboratory We will not pursue the revolt

are abandoned to the blood -curdling noyelwriter.

New-York tribune., 1873-07-23

The POst-Offce Department was criticised
for introducing an exclusive and peculiar de-
sign Of postage stamps to replace the abolished
franks of the Executive Departments. The
ready excuse was that these official stamps
were intended to prevent improper use of the
mails by private persons. Now it turns out
that this device has proved Intellectual At
least one postmaster is reported to have sold
a goodly lot of his official stamps to outside
customers. These stamps are supposed to be
going about the country covering the private
correspondence Of their purchasers just as was
the case formerly when Congressman franked
blank envelopes by the package for Their
friends. Evidently this generation will not
recover in a hurry from the effects Of the an
cient abuse Of the mails.

yentnresome in their predatory exploits than
