Rev. DR.. +. A. Ross who is to lecture al
the First Presbyterian Church to-morrow
evening, is one Of the most distinguished
divines of the South. BE has been q
prominent minister Of the Presbyterian
church for full half a century. For sew
eral years past he has been living at
Huntsville, Alabama, but he is a native
of East Tennessee. Twenty or thirty
years ago he had some famous encoun-
tiers with Parson Brownlow. The Cal
whistle Magazine, edited by Dr.. Ross for
many years, was recognized as one OF
the ablest organs Of Presbyterian doc
triue and Christian faith ever issued in
this country. The venerable Doctor has
perhaps passed his eightieth year and is
physically feeble. but his mind is undim-
med and all his mental faculties in full
vigor. He has always been a close stu.
dent, and the subject Of his lecture,
" Southern A~ristocracy and Shoddy," is
one which he has had ample opportuni-
ties to study. A rare intellectual treat
may be expected.

inferences are not sufficient to found ex-
ercise Of criminal jurisdiction; the facts
sufficient TO confer that jurisdiction must
be alleged positively.
In the case of Henry Thomas, alias
Henry Dean. who was arrested in Lam
caster county, Pa, for murder commit
ted in Ohio, the warrant from the Cover
nor of Pennsylvania merely recited that
the Governor Of Ohio had given inform
alton that one Thomas Dean had been
guilty of murder in that State" Judge
Lewis decided that such a recital unsc
companied by evidence was insufficient,
aud the prisoner vas not delivered up
until a certified copy Of the indictment
was furnished.
In ex parte Thorton, 3 Texas, 635. the
%relator was discharged on the ground Of
the insuficiency and illegality of the
warrant because it did not show by re-
cital that the representation and demand
of the Governor of the State of Arkan-
sas was accompanied by a copy Of an
indictment found on an affidavit made
before some magistrate Of the State Of
Arkansas, certified by said executive as
being duly authenticated, and charging
the relator with having committed the
crime of forgery in said State.
Other authority to the same effect
might be cited in support of these views,
but Ideem it unnecessary to do so.
During the argument something has
been said about the manner 10 which
this arrest was made, and about the
charge and its want OF foundation, etc.
These are matters that are not properly
before me for my action or consideration
in this proceeding. aud therefore | DO
not deem it necessary or proper TO say
anything about them.
No investigation in such o case can be
made beyond the warrant of the Execu.
tive, and no examination into the facts
and circumstances of the alleged offense
which the relator stands charged.
Whilst, therefore. | do not think the
sufficient to authorize the arrest
or holding the r%elator, and consequently
sustain the demurrer, yet ] deem it my
duty, upon the principle of the comfy
Of States and spirit of our laws, 10 hold
the relstor a reasonable time to afford
an opportunity to amend the return or
warrant if desired, or practicable TO do.

The time is at hand when the munich
pal election which comes off on the first
Tuesday Of January sill become a lively
issue. A good deal of quiet speculation
has been going on already in regard to
the subject, but thus far no avowed oap-
didates are in the field. and no move
ment has been insugurated to bring out
one by convention or otherwise. The
Radical party, although very quiet, is
looking ahead to the important county

when the time comes will unite upon
