right to be demanded at all times under
what is called the "comity of nations"
We have no such treaty with Belgium,
and this case of Vogt has, perhaps, for the
first time, shown the necessity for one.
We do not believe, however, that the Sec
rotary of State, if he negotiates or agrees
to any treaty, will cndeavor TO make it re-
troactive, neither do we believe that he has
any right so to do. We do not know that
the case has ever arisen, but we believe
that such a retroactive clause would be
void and of no binding effect, and that our
courts would so hold. A treaty is law,
and is so declared to be in our organic law.
The constitution of the United States pro-
vidcs that the constitution, and the laws
of the United States which shall he made
in pursuance thereof and all treaties
made, or which shall be made, under the
authority of the United States, shall be the
supreme law of the land" 1t, also, de-
clarcs that no cx-post facto-that is retro
active-laws shall be passed, and the judi
cial power of the United States is extended
to all cases, in law or equity, which may
arise under the constitution, laws or trea-
ties. The consent of the Senate and Prcsi-
dent is necessary before treaty can be-
come one of the supreme laws of the
land" just as that of the President and
both houses of Congress is requisite for the
rf, ,,fa natlor Lind Of 1axr
that in the former case the President has,
so to speak, an absolute veto, while in the
latter he has only qualified one. The
matter of cx-post facto laws, under the
prohibitory clause of the constitution, has
been well considered and determined by
the courts, and has been held to extend to
the remedy, arrest and punishment, as
well as TO the prohibition. That is to say:
an individual commits an act which has
been declared to be a crime and certain
penalty prescribed therefor, hut prior to
his conviction, the penalty is changed and
the old penalty repealed, the individual Is
discharged from all legal responsibility fol
his act So, too certain things are prohib
ited but no provision made for the arrest
and punishment of the offender, a subse
quent law, providing for an arrest ant
punishment, would not render the law
breaker amcnable to the law The new
provisions, so far as everything committed
before their enactment was concerned
would he ex-post facto laws, and, conse
quently, void. By parity of reasoning, {
retroactive clause in n treaty would be il
violation of the spirit of the constitution
and we believe would be held imperative
by the courts. We understand, of course
the difference between an ordinary law
enacted by Congress, and such law al
would be made by a treaty, but we believe
both to be within the spirit of the prohibi
ton of the constitution. We presume sucl
a case never has arisen, and unless TIN
treaty spoken of should be negotiated an,
ratified it may never arise. The attempte,
extradition of Vogt, under such claim
would present the question, and in such
way as to determine it for ever.
