THE WINsLow ExTRADTTIoN case still
hangs fire. He was to have been dis
charged by the British authorities yes
terday. We are now informed that his
SuIscnarge mas been postponed Tor len
days, in order to afford time for further
consideration Of the case. This is rem.
dered necessary, doubtless, from the
fact that the British House OF Commons
has made call upon the Ministry for
the correspondence between the two
Goyernments, and have the same now
under consideration.
sxtradition is claimed has subsisted
since 1642. For period OF one-third of
aeentury extraditions have been mutu-
ally made under this treaty without any
pretense Of objection on the grounds
new assumed by the British Ministry.
Why this objection should just now be
sprung upon our Government, without
any form Of notification, it is not easy
to see.
1t is true that their act Of Parliament,
under which the condition now inter-
posed is affirmed, was not passed till
1870. But 1t may well be alleged that
neither government has q right to SO
Iegislate as to virtually abrogate any
subsIsting treaty. Treaties are every
where considered as part Of the supreme
law Of the land; and are to be
ebserTed as such. A treaty
10 in the nature of International
legislation, which the parties thereto
are as much bound BY as by any other
form Of legislation. During its exist
ence, neither party has right to i'm.
pair its obligations by any kind of
oountervailing legislation ON its own
part. II such right OF countery ailing
isgisIation were permissible, then
any treaty, however solemnly drawn,
might be made nulIity as soon
as formed. Either Of the high
contracting parties might forthwith
enact law in derogation OF the terms
and obligations OF the treaty ON their
own behalf. while leaving all its oblIga-
tions in force and binding as against the
ether party to the treaty. This is, Of
course, an absurdity in legislation.
. And yet this is exactly what
the British Governments has done. 1t is
% this procedure that our Government
objects in the present case. And we

The Streets aAdstreet-railroads


We have been waiting Tor The Board
of Public Works to get their business
fairly in hand to see what disposition
might be manifested by Its members on
the subject OF the destruction OF the
streets by the Street:raitroad Compa-
nies. We had almost come to the con-
elusion that they were going to ignore
the whole subject, as the Common
Council did, and give tue City's high
ways up to the tender mercies Of a
soulless Corporation.
But we were cheered by array of light
from the Boards proceedings of Tues
day, when President BELL submitted a
resolution Of call upon the City Solici-
tor "to report as to the liability OF the
Street-railroad Companies in damages
for the destruction of the streets
through which their lines Of road are
laid" That is to the point. Nor was
the point at all blunted by MIR. BelPs
supplemental remark that "the railroad
Companies for years have had things
their own way; but that it was in the
power of the Board to put stop to
their assumption of unlimited priyi-
leges." ...
There are Indications of the true rim g
in that Bell. 1t may sound like fune-
raj toll TO the corporations that have
torn up and appropriated the streets to
their own useregardless of public rights /;
but it is a merry peal to the tens of thou
sands who have had property injured
and lives imperiled by the reckless de-
struction of the highways that belonged
to The public, by these highhanded mo.
nopolists.
If the Board of Public Works, or s;any
other man." would see the 'sconsumma.
ton OF desolation" that these railroad
companies have wrought OH the public
streets, let them drive out OH Hamilton
Road (McMicken Avenue), on West
Sixth street, along Broadway, and es.
pecially out Hunt street and Gilbert av.
enue. John Morgan's invading raiders
could not have more effectually torn
up the highays to and through the city
by the help Of torpedoes and dynamite,
than these railroad companies have
done. And thus they have remained for
months past, while accidents imperiling
life and limb have been of daily, some.
times almost hourly, occurrence on
those obstructed streets. We have our
selves seen'at one time, on Hunt street,
three carriages broken down and one
burden wagon overturned, all within
a quarter of mile, and all occasioned
by the destruction of the thoroughfare
by the rival-road companies claiming the
possession of that street.
The Board of Public Works has not
instituted this inquiry as to liability
for the damages moment too soon, nor
can they prosecute the remedy toe
promptly for the public good.

believe that the objection is weiltaken.
II England doesnot retract herlposition,
of course the treaty is immediatelybrokeu
by her own act; and there remains no
kind Of obligationeon our part TO order
the extraditfon of any criminal under
claim from British authorities. The re-
suit will be to make both countries the
asylum for the criminals of each other.

The "Weeyil'' i'm Politics.

Everybody has heard OF S. s. Cox,
commonly called "Sunse" for short.
He is sometimes known as "Cox the
Funnyn Cox is member Of Congress
by profession, and has pursued his call
ing most diligently. He once carried on
his business in Ohio quite extensively;
but customers failing, he packed his
carpet.bag and went to New York,
he soon fell into a good trade in the
same line.
| In 1859, while a member from Ohio and
a candidate for reelection, and when
the franklng privilege was in full flower,
Cox electioneered extensively by mail
ing packages of seed wheat, obtained at
the Patent Office, to the farmers in his
district. His oppon ents met this move
ment by charging that Cox's wheat had
he "weeviP' in it, which he was thus
spreading over the country to the ruin OF
the wheat, crop. He consequently came
to be known as "the weevil candidate"
At that time the eloquent and inimit-
able humorist, ssTom Corwin," was at
the height OF his fame in Ohio; and he
was appointed by the Republicans to
make some stump speeches in Cox's dis
trict in opposition to the "weevil candi-
date." In his book on Congressional
Humor, Cox tells this good story on him
self:

was sent for. The campaign was in his
