Narrow EsCaspc from war WITH
England-TMpOrtant IL True.

When Earl Derby makes an ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons why the
British Government adhered to
its demand that the United States
must guarantee that Winslow
should only be tried for the Of
Tense on which his extradition
was based, it is said in diplomatic
circles that the main reason will
be the desire to perpetuate peace
and good will between England
and the United States. 1t has been
generally known that had the
trial of Lawrence proceeded as he
was indicted for smuggling, Earl
Derby would have promptly made
demand for the return of Law
renee to British soil. 1t was not
until the threatening attitude OF
the affair and after a long cabinet
consultation, that it was decided
not to prosecute Lawrence fol-
smuggling, as he had been extra
dited for forgery. That there
might not be the possibility Of q
misunderstanding i'm the WINSTON
and Brent cases, it was considered
best to exact the pledge that the
parties, if extradited, should be
tried only on the charges set forth
in the demand mSdle by the Uni
ted States. Until the full cores.
. pondence which has passed be.
tween both governments has beer
fully digested, there will proba
bly be no allusion to the subJec'

TIE NOMINATIONS.
How They WERE RECEIVED AND
WHAT WAS SAID OF THEM IN
NFw York..

NEw FORKS.
NEW YoRY, June 29.-The St.
Louis nominations are the chief
topics of conversation here to.
day. Thurlow Weeds Convention
nomination of Tilden is decidedly
obnoxious to the better class Of
his party in the State Of New
York, and that it will result inde-
feat.
The Tammany men bow 10 the
decision of the Convention and
say they will heartily support the
nominations, notwithstanding the
late opposition to Tilden, as the
Convention has decided in his ia
vor. The Tammany men will do
all in their power to insure his
election. There are some, howev-
er, who view the nomination of
Tilden with distrust, but on the
whole, the nominations are re-
ceived among the Democrats gen
orally with favor. The CONNER
cial Advertiser thinks the nomi-
nations are weak, the platform.
weaker, and that the Republicans
will have an easy victory.
The Graphic thinks the Conven-
ton did the work WE'LL and says
the platform has many elements
OF strength. in it; also, that reform
is the great issue now before the
country. 1t calls upon the Demo
Gratis of the House of Representa-
tives to at once prepare measures
for a thorough civil reform SER
vice, and on the Republicans of
the Senate to prepare Il similar
bill, and make them a party test.
An albany special says it is re-
ported that Gov. Tilden is to re-
sign the Governorship, and allow
Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer to be-
come acting Governor, in. order
to conciliate the disconnected
Democrats in New York.
i There are party politicians urg-
ing Tilden to- crush out Kelly
once for all.
The Evening Express, Demo
crat and anti -Tilden, commenting
on the result, says the nomination
of Tilden simply forces the con
clusion that his friends were com
pact and united, andthere was nc
, union and therefore no strength
among his opponents. We could
i. wish the nomination had beer
f done more graciously towards the
| minority.
, The Evening Post considers bet
, ter forces prevailed at st. Louis
The Democrats have nominated
S citizen OF good character, who ha'
y served well as Governor his owl

{ an election free from vicious per
sonal strife. Its financial plank il
the platform it considers a poo
stick indeed, and is a step back

n is better. On the whole, it doe.
not consider the Democratic pros
q poets of success as hopeful.

/ SHIFTING THE PIG CANOE.-This fa-
nous canoe, the Hrgest ever seen on the
I Northwest coast, was successfully shipped
Oh board the Dakota on Tuesday week
| by II. l.. TibbalS, Esq, of the firm of
Engelhardt & Tibbals, the new Agents
for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
The canoe had been OH storage at the
Songish village for the past nine months,
without any opportunity offering for Com
missioner Swan to forward her to Phila-
delphia. She was of such immense size
that the officers and men of the steamers
were afraid to undertake the job of hand
ling her. Mr.. Tibbals went to San Fran
cisco on the Panama, and while there
Informed Mr.. Bacon, chief agent of the
Company about the difficulty Judge Swan
has had in shipping his collection, and re-
ceived from him Instructions to ship it on
tile Dakota, and to superintend the ship
ment himself. In the meantime Judge
Swaa had three slings made, one u inch
eS wide Of three thicknesses heavy No. !
canvas, roped all around with 81 inch
new MANILA rope, and two similar slings
| I inches wide-the broad sling to 90
around the midship section of the canoe
and the two smaller ones 16 feet from the
center, toward bow and stern, thus max
| iug spread of 80 feet. The Judge also
had chOcks made to set the canoe in on
| deck and plenty of news MANILA rope for
| lashing On the day other shipment she
( was towed from Victoria to Esquimalt by
/ the steamer Gertrude and laid alongside
| the Dakota. where Mr.. Tibbals took her In
charge, and having properly secured the
slings. the donkey engine was attached to
/ the tails and hove taught, but the donkey

Morse declared he could not take her.
| Mr.. Tibbals said she could and must go on
/ board, so they rove another heavy pur-
chase and took the end Of the fall through
snatch block that led aft. Mr.. Tibbals
then induced all the male passengers and
such of the ships company as were not
engaged in taking and delivering freight
to the Gertrude, and soon he had hun
dred willing persons, who, with the en-
gtne, walked the monster canoe out of the
water and landed her safe on the chocks
which were ready to receive her. She was
lthen secured and covered. and ere this is
Iurobab!y safe in San Francisco. Judge
Swan desires us to say that he never would
have been able to ship the canoe had not
Mr.. Tibbals taken the matter In hand.
We hope the canoe will reach Philadel-
phia in safety for she will be there regard
Ell as one of the wonders Of the world
Judge Swan expects to ship all the re-
malnder of his collection by the City of
Panama. He has l3 large cases here and
nearly as many more in Victoria. His
collection is the largest ever made on the
Northwest coast Of Indian manufactures,
and is q credit to him and to the National
Museum in Washington for which they
are intended.

the capture Of Watts, who has recently

q series OF years, TOR the murder OF a man
named Hibbard on San Juan Island, la

TRANSFER OF STATE FUNDS.

Governor JACOB, on the sth instant
issued an order addressed to the Auditor
and Treasurer of the State directing
them 10 transfer all the money held by
the Merchants Bank of Charleston be.
longing to the State. To wit the sum
OF S35,O91 30, to the Kanawha Valley
Bank and to the Miners and Mechanics
Bank, both of Charleston. The sum is
to be equally divided between the TIVE
last named banks which are designated
as the repositories to receive the monies.
The reason assigned by His Excellency
for the transfer is that he has good
grounds for the opinion that it is requir-
ed by the safety of the public funds.
