THE following extract from the
speech of Ben. Hill, it is guessed,
will be a plank in the Democratic
platform of 1876:
That whatever horrors had existed
at Andersonville, not one of them
could be attributed to single act of
the Confederate Government, and
that every one of them grew out of
necessity, and that necessity was fas-
tened upon the Confederates by Fed
eral power, and the Federal Govern
ment was directly responsible for all
untold horrors of the war.

EXTRADLTION.
Revision of the Treaty between the
United States and Great Britain
The Brent Case.

New YORK December "a London dis
patch states that the extraditiOn treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
has been arranged. Immediate steps were
taken to rearrest forgers from the United
States, discharged ON the two governments
disagreeing on points involving their sur
render to the American authorities. Charles
Brent, a Louisville fOrger, was found and
placed under arrest.
LONDON. December 5.-An agent of the
Western Associated Press called in relation
to the extradition treaty upon Minister
PierrepOnt who said: Il am not in position
to say anything about it one way or the
other The home office was not communi-
catiye, and Bow street was dumb. The
agent learned however, that Brent was in
fact brought yesterday to Bow street with
great secreSy and arrGgned before SIR james
lngham in his private room. When dis
charged Brent enlisted III the Sixteenth Lam
GERS, and was with that regiment when ar
rested yesterday. On an order from the
home office, the solicitor OF the London
bankers protective association appeared Tor
the prosecution. Brent was not defended,
and was remanded to the house Of detention,
where he will remain until the treaty IS ratl-
fed. The Bow street authorities Will not
permit the affidavits to be inspected.
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The extradi-
ton treaty between the United States and
Great Britain is known here to have been re-
vised. As stated in London dispatches, our
government adheres to its former position on
the subject expressed in the correspondence
with Lord Derby. There Is, however, reason
to believe that the force Of the treaty will be
revived bv the action of the British govern
ment itself, the first step toward which has
been the rearrest of Brent the Louisville for
ger, and warrants for the rearrest OF WlnslOw
and Gray. The delivery Of these men to the
United States will accomplish all that our
government has asked with regard to them.
In other words, it appears that the British
government is now desirous to undo its act
discharging the fugitives, thus restoring the
former vitality Of the treaty.

the Watts case opened at Salem this morn
ing before Governor Grover, upon a protest
filed by Senator Kelly and others against the
issuance of a certificate to the alleged dis
qualified elector. 0del, one of the
Republican electors. 1t is said the electors
did not wish to argue the case, but would file
a counter protest. Kelly then read the pro-
test filed by min on December I'd, with
the accompanying afhdayits. Odell read a
long counter protest. setting forth the facts
and the law applicable TO the case, signed by
the Republican electors. Kelly then argued
the issue at length. taking the ground that
Watts was Ineligible at the time Of the cleo
tion. and the person who received
the next highest number Of votes was
entitled to the certificate; cited various
cases IN support Of his position. Several
prominent Democratic lawyers followed him.
The appearances indicate that the argument
