Tho various oommonts on tho Shepherd Dana
libel suit has called out card from Mr. Elizur
Wright, of Boston, who takes the rather queer
position TINT thoro should bo no right of action
against an editor for libel "excopt on an affl-
daYit that tho editor has refused eithor to rotsact
publicly. or to adn,it, in conspicuous typo an
answer to tho alleged libeloua matter, Of at loaat
equal OF reasonable LENGTH" Thio IL oyon a
more liberal Wow Of tho rights and dutioH Of
public Journals than fair-minaod journalists can
demand. 1t is undoubtedly baaod upon tho
ground that newspapers owo it to tho public to
gather nows from tho beBt Bourcos at
thoir command, and that when, in
tho bora .jiie ondoavor to protect Bo-
ciety, they publish libelous matter without
malice, they ,'hould not be punished for malice.
But the rus which Mr. Wright proposes could
opon tto door widc for qualification of any
maliro which newspaper editor might have.
ITs could givo full vent to his spleen, and work
out his purpose In such manner that tho publi-
cation Of denial on tho following day would
scarcely wipo out tho impression TINT had been
made. There ia no uouus al4et glo law Of libel in
somo OF tho States works gross injustice against
newspaper publishers, but tho other cxtromo
would bo quite as hurtful to tho iutoroata Of
soAoty.

Tho peculiar manner in which Mr. Kellogg
WAS sustained in his clam for tho control Of tho
Louisiana Government haa evidently led him to
believe that, like Louis XIV, ho is the State.
uo WAS certainly prompted by somo such impress
Hion in his recent action in regard to tho State
funds. Ho practically abolished tho Office Of
State Treasurer to carry out bis purpoac. Now
Orleans is flooded with Treasury warrants
with which official salaries and tho State dobts
haye Deon paid under carpet-bag ru1o. BY
measures hrr. Kellogg has recently succeeded in
securing small amount Of money in tho Tteas-
ury. In tho hopo Of making some reputation
for economy, ho sustained Mr.. Clinton, tho State
Auditor, in issuing An advertisement, which an
nouncod to the people that certain amount Of
money would bo 1isbursed at o certain date In
" shaving" warrants, and that thoHo who should
bid highest for tho money, or, in other words,
take loaat for their warrants, should
DO favored in tho distribution Of tho
funds. This proceeding was, Of course, q ape-
clos Of ropudiation, and altogether unauthor-
izod by law. The Etato Treasurer, colored
man named Dubucht, who waa elected in 1870
to hold Office for four years, protested against
this course, but Kellogg ordorod the Collectors
to pay over their money to the Auditor, and
ordered tho Auditor to follow tho advertised
programme. The Troaauror's offico was thus
practically abolished.

THE CARL VOGT CASE,

Ono Of tho most interesting and complicated
casos TINT hayo arisen under our extradition
laws is that Of Carl Vogt, now and for eomo time
past held as prisoner in New York. The crimo
for which ho was arrested was committed about
two yeara ego IN the City Of Brussels Belgium,
and was Of q peculiarly atrociouB character.
The Choyalior Dubois do Dianco was murdered
for tho purpose Of plumber. IhiB was attosted
by tho finding Of his safo, which had bcon broken
open and dospo1od Of ita contonta. After
tho murder had been committed and
tho property stolen, the murderer fired the
promises to CONCEAL Lis net, and thus
bocamo guilty Of three Of tho most hoinous
crimoB in tho caloular,-robbery murder, and
arson. Suspicion at onco attached to o yalok
named Joseph STUFF, otherwise known as Carl
Vogt, and, upon subsequent investigation, It
became reasonably certain that he committed tho
crime. He WAS finally traced to tho United Btatos
and domand WIS made for tho dolivory Of his
person to tho Belgian Government. but Vogt
had money; ho secured counsel, and successfully
resisted tho demand, thoro being no oxtraditon
treaty bctweon Belgium and this country. Tic
prosecutions succeeded, however, in looming
Vogt in custody on tho charge Of bringing
Rtolon property into Now York. To WIS thus
hold long enough for tho Prugsian Qoyornmont
to mako dcmand for his delivery undor tho
e3tralition troaty botwoon prussia and tho
United statos. Vogt is q subject of Prussia,
md tho demand for his oxtradition Yaa based
upon q law Of that country which Eiyos tho
Btate jurisdiction over its own subjects, ovon in
the oase Of crimoa committed by them on foreign
territory. When tho pruBsiau Consul n,ado
aonland for Vogt'a porson, ho was takon boforo O
Unitel States COMMISSIONER and finally
boforo Judge Blatehfosd, of tho United
statcs Circuit Court, who declared TINT
tho prisoner WAS lawfully detained, and romantod
him to await the extradition papors from tho
btato Department, upon tho receipt Of which
Vogt was to be takon to Cologne for trial.
Whom tho caso was brought boforo tho State
Department, Secretary Flsh applied to tno Al
tornoy-douoral for liH opinion in regard to tho
right of the Government to dcliyor up tho pris-
onor to tho Prpsaian atlthortles under tho treaty.
Attorney Gonoral Wiliams prepared IN opinion
which hold, in opposition to Judge Blatohtorla
decision, that Pr,lBsa haB no claim upon tho ris-
oner lndor tho troaty, and 1t IL understood that
tho State Department will rofuso to Issue tho
oxtratliton paporH. This action is III diroot con-
trayontlon Of tho policy OF tho Administration in
tho Louisiana caso, whom tho Presidents inter-
foronco was justified OIL tho broad ground tint It
was tho duty OF tho Executive to enforce tho
deoreoB Of tho United Statos CourlB. Tho action
OF tho stato Department in regard to Judge
Dlatohford'a dooreo would indicate that the E1-
ooutiya branah Of tho Goyernmnnt does really
