Gen. NJ. G. BUTLER who has been charged
with being a leader In the disturbance which
resulted So fatally in Hamburg, s. c., has pub
lished letter. w which he accuses Gov. CHAM
BERLAIN of having grossly misrepreeented the
facts regarding that event, and challenges the
Governor to begin legal proceedings against him,
saying that CHAMBERLAIN knows his residence,
and knows that the presence OF United states
soldiers Is not necessary for his arrest. IL also
says that II a LEGAL Investigation is had, and be
does not show that the negroes were the agrees
sors, and the riot instIgated by emissarles OF
CHAMBERLAIN, he win undertake to answer per-
sonally for tho death Of every man, white and
black, who fell. 1t Is difficult to see how Gov.
CHAMBERLAIN can avoid responding TO this
challenge by prompt proceedings, which he
should have taken long ago, instead OF running
to Washington for Federal troops. We have
yet seen nothing that can DO accepted as an ex-
cuse for the barbarity OF killing prisoners who
had surrendered themselves; but this is no
reason why the whole affair should he msreprc-
scented for political purposes. The HAYES nows-
papers would have the public believe that a reg
ularly ORG snized militia company were murder
ously attacked by Democrats because they dared
TO celebrate tho Fourth OF July. The fact is
that the so-calIed militia company was dsor-
DERBY armed mob, who had seized arms belong
ance had met In armed resistance to minor
court presided over 10y one of their own color
and their own political faith. Further, these
outlaws have for years been nuisance and
terror to the community which they infested,
owing to the anarchy which prevails In South
Carolina, and the impossibility OF obtain
ing Justice in the partisan courts OF that
State. Finally they came in collision with
white mob, which proved too strong for them,
and lynch law WINS administered to some Of the
blacks. just as II has frequently been admin
iste red TO white offenders In Northern States
with less provocatlon. Politics had nothing TO
do with the matter, except that It Is owing to
the yillalnous rule Of carpet-baggers aud iGno-
rant negroes that condition Of affairs has
been produced Ia South Carolina which renders
1t impossible for a white citizen 10 secure legal
protection from violence and robpery. Gov.
CHAMBERLAIN had better stop writing partisan
letters and begin proper legal investigation of
this wretched business.

1t is instructive to see the Euening Post
supporting HAYES and WHEELER while the
venerable Mr.. BRYANT and Mr.. PARKE GOODWIN,
whose genius and whose political wisdom have
made the Post valuable are for TuDEs ana Re-

Post is Mr.. ISAAC HENDERSON, who was tried for
defraudng the Government out Of several hun
dred thousand dollars while he was Navy Agent
during the rebellion, and escaped on a pure

the administration OF justice In Pennsylvania,
when the Molly NJ lEuire iawbreakers are re-

Cases OF hallucination like that of the
young servant girl who was yesterday acquitted
OF crime with which she had charged herself,
are occasionally reported. She not only con-
fessed that she had poisoned the seven-yer old
son Of her employer, bur signed written cir

kind OF poison she used and the method Of it's
administration. Yet II has been satisfactorily
proved, by medical testimony and chemical
analysts, that the boy died Of disease, that he
had not taken the poison she said she gave him,
and that her self-acousation was false. She had

belligorent Of Senators-St a safe distance. He
thought blood-letting would do great good to
the Union but, although he was In the prime OF

like BLAINE and other patriots Of that order

The Question of Extradition Between
England and America.

The English Government insists, ms an
essential principle OF extradition, that a
person surrendered on an extradition
treaty shall be tried only for the offence
for which he is surrendered, and for no
other offence previously committed.
That such was the meaning placed by
both parties upon the treaty of 1912. be-
tween the United states and Great Britain
Lord DERBY contends; and in support of
his position lie adduces very strong evil
dence. He shows that this construction
was put upon the treaty by the act of
Congress and by the act of the Parla-
ment of Great Britain, respectively
passed to carry it into effect. The act of
Parliament passed in 1913, provides as
follows:
order me eeye o. the Person committed the
The OF tie statute 10 convey such pcrean to
the territory Of the Uned States, b. tried Tor tie
crane " Uhich such person sh4H be accHsed.'"
The act of Congress- passed in 1s4s, is in
these words:

peG'9a Or persons as sha DC authorized he
Tor % cye ol o Xxx ss ISEelsn to b. ied
iHSSp NlAhilouS iIoHl lnt statutes are
strong evidence OF the meaning OF the old
treaty. 1t would have been better had
the treaty itself contained in its text a
provision that no person surrendered by
virtue thereof should be tried on any
charge except that on which he might be
surrendered; but there is reason to
suppose that the statesmen who nego tiated
that treaty never imagined that such
a thing would DO attempted as trying
a surrendered person on some other
charge.
More important. however, TO be con-
sidered now, than the construction OF the
old treaty, is the inherent right and JUS
tice, in itself, of the proposition that n
surrendered person should ouly be tried
on the charge on which he is extradited.
A treaty which admits of any other con-
struction should be speedily amended 80
as TO exclude such possibility.

"lf the party charged with any such
offence be not IN custody, the Coroner SHAH
hare poorer to issue process" Tho clear
construction OF this is that IL is only
when the party 10 not in custody that the
Coroner has power to issue process. II tho
party be in custody, then the Coroner has
no power 20 issue process. Mr.. BERDELL
was in custody whom the Coroner's jury
returned their verdict He was in the
custody Of Justice Of the Peace, who
has since discharged him. II would seem,
therefore, that the Coroner had no power,
under rhe 81 itute. 60 issue his warrant for
the second arrest Of Mr. BERDEII and that
Mr.. BEBDEIL was entitled to be discharged
on a writ of habeas corpus.
1t had been reported before that in Sc
Letting the Coroner's jury, Mr.. LITTLE, the
Coroner, had consulted the counsel for the
prosecution. This, IL true, was most CEN
surable conduct on his part. But. how
ever selected, The Coroner's jury refused,
In their verdict, to charge any offence
against Mr.. BERDELL.
The ONCE of Coroner is one of great re-
sponsiblity, frequently influencing de-
cisions between life and death. Every
citizen OF the State is concerned to see an
Office OF such a grave character inteli-
gently aud impartially administered, in
every instance. IL IL not strange that the
course OF Mr. LITTLE should provoke I'M
favorable comment.
Mr.. BEaDELL was again discharged yes
terday.
