The Necessity or . Universal Extra
ditiOn Treaty.

0ltlOn ITo8tys
Although there is o school of ariable
philosophers who always remind you Of
the Golden Rule, prove to you con-
clusively that by the abolition of capital pun
ishment you abolish the Hourishing institution
of murder, and who vary the monotony of
their lives by daily signing appeals to the
executive authorities for clemency, there is
also an organization in which we all have an
interest, however limited, known as society,
which, however absurdly, is deeply con-
cerned in the punishment and determination
of crime. When it is possible for statesman
like the honorable Senator from Harlem to
change his residence and live in opulent ease
in Mexico, Belgium, or Brazil, we cannot
perceive that any of the demands of justice
are satisfied. Neither do we understand that
it is to the advantage of any of these Powers
to offer an asylum to the misdemeanor COM
mitting class Of our fellow citizens Belgium
may find it itproftable to hold out the hand Of
fellowship to rich criminals, but the
effect on her society can hardly be
of salutary character. For the United
States, certainly, it does not improve the ma
tional reputation to have "Senator" Norton,
Alderman Conan and others pointed out as
members Of our most important legislative
bodies. This is phase of the question
which the humanitarians overlook when they
repeat those phrases 80 often uttered by re-
spectacle men, "Oh, let him go! I'm glad
Genet has got off" II wouldn't peach on
Sharkey if I knew where he isl" "a man
who is smart enough to run away has my SYM
pathy." The simple fact that there are many
civilized countries where criminals can live
unwhipt of justice is in itself the most power
full incentive to violence against the peace of
the people and their dignity. If every man
felt that the moment the crime he had in con-
temptation became known he would be safely
lodged behind prison bars and live there
until society should be satisfied with his pun
ishment there would be fewer defalcations,
forgeries and cases of plundering the public.
Our State Department, then, should instruct
our easy going Ministers to conclude treaties
for the extradition of criminals wherever pos
sble. Thoroughly accomplished, this action
would close up the utopia Of crime and every
would-be offender wcc...,,d read in advance, ;'No
quarter for criminals here! |"

CORRUPTION, PRESENT AND PASTA New
York stockbroker, interviewed on the Ken
lucky Central Railroad the other day by cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
alleged to have declared that ''the men,
bers of the present Congress are more
corrupt than even their immediate pre-
decessors, and the country will find my
words true Their rascality is more of
the unblushng kind, and they prosecute
their dishonest schemes regardless of shame
or fear" A little wholesome prosecution of
another kind in Washington against federal
delnquents would prove refreshing repast
to the people at large these holiday times.
The same people will take caro- of the dis
honest congressman in due time, or the pres
ent majority party will ere long be sent to the
dogs.

RESIGNATION OF OuR MINISTER AT MADRID -
special despatch to the HERALD from Madrid
announces that the resignation of General
Sickles has been accepted by the President.
When the fact that the resignation had been
rendered was first published in the HERALD 8
special report it was semi-oficially denied
from Washington. We now call upon Secre-
tary Fish to publish all the official correspond
ence on the subject of the virginius seizure,
together with the official communications of
our Minister at Madrid Why is this impor-
tant correspondence suppressed? Why does
the Secretary of State fear its publication?

.Am au,e. ON th. potomae.r

Christmas passed off quietly in Washington,
the only noteworthy feature of the day there
being in the number of intoxicated persons
on the streets, which is reported as largely in
excess of the Christmas crowd of "jovial
hummer" of any previous year on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. But this is not surprising,
considering the financial pressure at the ma
tional capital, and that south of Mason and
Dixon's line Christmas day has been and con-
tinues. to be celebrated more after the fashion
of the GLORIOUS Fourth" than as religious
festival The custom was introduced by the
old Cavaliers and their followers, who in Vir-
ginia particularly delighted in maintaining the
jolly pastimes of England under the ''merry
monarch as q plague to the sour and crusty
Puritans of Massachusetts. Hence the time
honored observance of Christmas in Washing
ton in the year of grace 1878. The custom
still prevails, though the political causes con-
nected with it's introduction in the South have
ceased to exist. s
Otherwise ''all is quiet on the Potomac"
The members of the two houses Of Congress are
mostly at home with their families and among
there cons tituents for the Christmas and New
Year holidays the lobby is resting upon it's oars,
there is lull in the matter of balls and recep-
tons, and the newsmongers find it an uphill
task to pick up valuable item Of news or
sensational rumor The nomination of Attor-
ney General Williams as Chief Justice awaits
the return of the Senate to business, which
will be on the 5th of january, 1874; and as
President Grant has resolved to risk the haz-
ards of an adverse vote upon this nomination,
and as Williams intends to 'stick, /" it is prob
able that the Senate will assume the RESPONSE
bility of rejecting him in Difference to public
opinion. But nous verrons. Excepting the
Presidents reception and general social re-
unions of New Year 8 Day, official and unofi-
cial, which are very enjoyable in Washington,
the city will be comparatively dull place till
the return of Congress- and then it cannot be
long before the proceedings of the two houses
will command the general attention Of the
country.

Baxaine I'm seclusion.

In the story of the closing scene Of Marshal
Bazaine's trial win be found the material for
future historians to draw o fine historic
picture of treachery avenged. AS graphically
described in another portion of the HERAID
this scene will not fail to impress. This Mar
shall of France, in the sight of the common
soldiers of the guard, touched on the
shoulder and bade to come as plain
Monsieur, is as suggestive Of degradation
as if his corpse were lying at Satory with thd
insignia OF rank hacked from his uniform and
the bands Of the regiments playing lively
tune to the march past OF the garrison of Paris.
And now we learn by cable that Bazaine,
degraded. but spared from ignominious
DEATH has started on his journey to the
Isle de Sainte Marguerite there to com-
mence serving his terms Of twenty years
sseclusion" This is mild word, and wa
have no doubt that pains will be taken by the
present French government to make his resi-
dence on the island as comfortable as possible.
The moral of the Communication is that it is
better for ones self to treacherously surrender
French army than to be suspected Of burn
ing French palace. sG q -afq al54aos.

dress with, I'VE, tho Yvvp.s "nsi'nu' 90
the three secretaries of the Committee OF
Safety adopt style which seems to imply an
equal incapacity to comprehend their personal
insignifcance. 1t seems that this Committee
of Safety was appointed at Cooper Institute
December IL, 1873, 'by four thousand
people," and that it has an English secretary,
and German secretary and French secretary,
and this trio now peremptorily makes its de-
mands of the municipal government. It di-
rects tho Commissioner of Public Works to
abrogate oil contracts Immediately and give
the running of his department over to them,
or else to give q reason for his refusal Gin
writing''-for they evidently want to have
case against him, written by himself,
by the time they get their guillotine ready.
1t is no new thing for the people of this city
to see impudent vagabonds, who never worked
day in their lives, and ridiculous adven-
turers Of oil sorts, posturing in the name of
the workingman; but it is rather uncommon
to see paraded such a threat as that implied in
the designation of this committee, which ap-
parently promises itself repetition of the
career of the Paris Committee OF '93, and
gloats in the thought that it may yet chop of
the head of every man addicted to clean linen.
We see no harm, however, in the present
antics of these incoming boobies other than
their impertnence, for the workingmen are too
familiar with this sort of agitation to be
fooled by it. In Paris the workmen are inno-
cent, confding, inAammable and incredibly
ignorant; and these characteristics have
made them the victims of agitators who
sought, of course, only their own advantage,
and out Of agitation so excited have grown
such facts as the combat Of the Commune.

No MORE TAXATION. that our Senators
and Representatives have been home on .
flying visit to their constituents they may
probably have been given to understand that
the people see no need for additional taxation
and do not desire to be taxed unnecessarily in
order to keep up the pet policy of o rapid
decrease in the public debt. The country is
in prosperous condition and is growing
richer and richer every day. Values ara
rapidly recovering from the temporary de-
preston Of the commercial crisis, and while
we may still hear of caution and retrench-
ment in business our revenues will speedily
increase with increasing commerce. Let Mr..
Richardson be patient, and be will soon have
money enough in the Treasury. Meanwhile,
if Congress will put q stop to jobbery, while
encouraging all legitimate enterprises and
aiding in liberal development OF our mag
nifcent resources, we shall do very well
without rushing in q panic to the extreme
measure Of taxation to make up temporary
deficiency in our revenues.

The CAnI1sT CAMPAIGN would seem to be
taking lively shape once more. The retreat
of General Moriones, with fourteen thou
sand men, from San Sebastian, looks
as though the republicans had ssus-
tanned severe check, although the inn
punity with which the twelve thousand
were allowed to embark and depart shows
that the thirty thousand Oarlists are not
provided with the proper means for carrying
on anything like regular siege. It would
seem that the three thousand republican sol
diers remaining behind the works at San
Sebastian are thought sufficient with
the aid of the townsmen, to re-
pei the poorly armed mountaineers
The fourteen thousand troops whose retreat
may be termed o strategic movement, as steps
of similarly lively nature have been termed
heretofore, were landed at Santona, about
seventy miles of, but their future is in doubt

Judge Durcll's Opinion OF the Adj
ministrntfOn.

ministratfon.
A report from Washington states that Judge
Duren. Of Louisiana notoriety, being threat
ened with impeachment for official miscon-
duct, is willing to resign if the President will
appoint him to second rate foreign mission,
by the Senate if he should obtain the nomina-
tion. The report comes from an unreliable
source. but its plausibility makes its truth
probable. Judge Durell knows that the
offences alleged against him have been COM
mitted as a blind partisan Of the administra-
ton. In his official action in the Kellogg
outrage he only followed the dictates of the New
Orleans Custom House. The Attorney General
who endorsed his action has been rewarded
with nomination for the highest judicial
Office in the nation. Why should not Durell,
the instrument without whose aid even the
Attorney General could not have upheld the
Louisiana usurpation, be rewarded with
second rate foreign mission? Certainly Du-
rell as our representative abroad in the posi-
ton he seeks would not be such a disgrace to
of the Supreme Court of the United States
But the proposition which it is said has
been made directly to the authorities at Wash
ington is noteworthy as indicating the opinion
of the administration held by the accommo-
dating Judge. He has no idea that there is
any impropriety or even indelicacy in asking
the President to bestow foreign mission on
judicial officer who resigns from the Bench
only to save himself from impeachment. In
deed, he evidently considers that he
is offering o bargain profitable to the
administration. Unpleasant secrets may be
brought to light in the course Of impeach-
ment proceedings which he no doubt believes
may be judiciously concealed from the world
by such compromise as he proposes As to
the Senate, he is quite willing to take his
chances there. Kellogg was United States
Senator, and Durell is familiar with the stuff
of which Senators are nowadays composed.
He sees no difficulty in arranging his little
affair satisfactorily with q Credit Mobilier
back-pay Senate, provided he can make it all
right with President Grant His confidence
may not be misplaced; but we believe that he
will find his estimate of the Presidents char
acter an erroneous one. President Grant in
his ignorance of law may see no impropriety
in rewarding such friend as the Attorney
General with the Chief Justiceship, but he
will scarcely care to bestow foreign mission
