Objection is made by the British Gov
ernment to the surrender Of Winslow
without pledge from the United States
in conformity with the act Of Parliament,
and Secretary Fish has positively refused
to give such pledge Mr.. Fish informs the
British government through the Changed
affairs, sMr. Hoffman, that if it insists
on holding Winslow as subject to prosecu-
ton only on the charges set forth in the
warrant Of extradition, our government
will consider it such an infraction Of the
article Of the treaty relative to extradi-
tion a. to warrant demand for the abro-
cation of that article. 1t is semi-officially
stated that the course to be pursued by the
State Department in case W inslow is not
surrendered without any pledge, will be a
refusal thenceforth to surrender any Brit
ish criminals. Through the international
wrangle, Winslow may escape the just
punishment of his crimes; and be turned
loose to prey upon new communities whith-
er the fame Of his exploits has not pene-
trated. In 1870, the British Parliament
passed an act providing in effect that be-

have been sent by the different nationalities
to construct their pavilions on the Centen-

their work, show that they have been accus-

A HIDDEN VOLCANO,

Learned gentlemen for many years
and from various quarters Of the world
have made frequent and persistent efforts
to solve the long standing and perplexing
mystery of hidden volcano in Florida.
Of the wonderful scenes Of nature that our
sister State Of Florida can boast of, is one
upon which the eye Of man has not yet
been permitted to gaze. Up to this time
nothing has been accomplished beyond un-
successful attempts to reach the place.
All attempts-and many have been made
ended in disaster within four or five
miles of the spot on which the volcano is
supposed to be. For upwards Of thirty
years its existance has been tantalizlngly
proclaimed by cloud Of smoke that has
increasingly assembled from an inpeuetrable
swamp, some twenty-five miles from
Monticello in the direction of the Gul
coast. While some of the attempts mad,
have been feeble and insufficient, other
have been we'll organized and equipped
and led by men Of experience and fixed
ness of purpose. Judge White, Of Quincy
had an observatory which he could plac
on the tree tops to guide him in the righ
course, and has made several expedition
to that region, but in every instance faile
to effect an entrance through the closel
interviewer and impenetrable undergrowt
Of the centre Of the swamp. Judge Be
and others are now making fresh atteml
to penetrate this mysterious phenomenon
this Undiscovered bourne" which remair
untrodden by the foot of man.

IT seems as If all the Presidential aspi.
rants will be charged with some crooked
ness. Blaihe's turn comes now. He is
charged with some kind Of underlined crook
edness in connection with the Union Pacific.
The charge comes from the home of Sen
ator Morton, that Blaine received sunnum-
bered thousands Of dollars that did not be-
long to him. Bristow has thus far shed
his charges as duck sheds water, and the
people will be anxious to see what effect
this shower Will have on Blaine's snowy
plumage. Who's turn comes next. g.I,,a

BABCOCK IN THE COILS.

.l
Gen. Babcock did not make it all clear
in his testimony before the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Heuse Of Representatives,
that he had no connection with the SAT-
burglary conspiracy, but on the contrar y
confirms the NEST important statements of
the witness Whitley, and succeeded in
placing himself in sucha position that it
will benecessary for him to prove himself
innocent. The safe burglary conspiracy
was one of the most infamous transactions
ever perpetrated in Washington. 1t is
gross outrage upon dscency and justice
that those concerned in it were not long
ago brought to punishment and it is be-
cause official influence was brought to bear
to save them, that they were not punished.
For long time Gen. Babcock's name haf
been mentioned as being mixed up in
connection with many scandalous transac-
tions, and within few months evil deeds
have been proven against him, which rem
der it very probable that Whitley's story
is true. The truth is that Babcock is in a
very tight place. He has got himself ints
such predictment, that his chances for
getting out of it are not as good as were
those of getting out of the crooked whis-
key business. The testimony given before
the committee investigating the safe bur-
glary conspiracy, can not fail to satisfy
every candid reader of Babcock's COM
plicity in that most infamous plot, the
purpose of which was to ruin Mr.. Alex
ander an influential citizen Of Washing
ton, because of his activity in urging Con-
gress to investigate the frauds perpetrated
by the District Ring to which Rabcock
belonged, and was ringleader. From the
first Babcock was one of the principal
members of the combination. He aided it
by certifying to fraudulent measurements
and false vouchers through which he en-
riched himself. These facts have long
been known, and very few who have
watched his career for the last few years
are astonished at the proof now brought
forward that he was a party to the con-
spiraey against Mr.. Alexander.

THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD.
Subject to the Decision of the
st. Louis Convention.
A RErURA TO SILVER CHANGE.
FOR PRESIDENT !

4 REfURA TO Silver CHANGE.
fit will be satisfaction to anybody to
have silver substituted for fractional cur
rsncy they will now be happy. Those
people who like the jingle ofhard money
in their pockets, the real tangible hard
stuff, which clinkles against one another
with an audible jingle, and which makes
holes in their pockets are now made hap
py. The reason for returning to silver
change, is not that the fractional notes are
dishonore promises to pay, for in point
of fact, in the return to specie, We do not
receive full equivalent for the notes, nor
is it wholly to crafty the sentimental
preference in favor Of the chinky article,
for that preference is not general, and it is
doubtful whether the majority Of the peo-
pie would not rather carry the notes than
the coin. This resumption act will not
bring about the speedy redemption Of the
greenbaeks in gold, for dozen Of resump-
ton acts would not do that in the present
state of affairs. The Secretary Of the
Treasury has now on hand $l2,ooo,0oo
silver coin and $4,0O0,0oo of silver bullion
with the ability to buy any quantity more
with four and half per cent bonds. The
silver half dollar now being actually worth
considerably less than fractional fifty
cent note, there seems to be no practical
difficulty in the way Of making the SUBJ
stitution, but the recent decline in silver,
and the possibility of still further de-
cline in its value, are decided objections
to the change Of silver for fractional cur
rency. The invalidity in the market Of
precious metals also weakens the force Of
the argumen. constantly waged by the
bullionists. A few Comstock lodes or
Big Bonanzas in the gold mines might sc
effect the value of gold that properly Sc
cured and committed United States note
would be a more stable measure of value
AZ we'll as a more convenient medium Of
exchange than specie. Bnt as there is I
plethora of silver, and if it will afford sat
isfaction to any body to have silver coli
substituted for the fractional currency, W
say let them have it and may they b
happy. Let it be SO if for nothing els
than to CRAFTY the sentimental desire o
hearing the chink.
DR., Lindermaru, the Director of tn
Mint, is opposed to making the pres
ent silver coin legal tender to any larg
amount. The silver resumption bill may
possibly pass the Senate, but it will no
have Is smooth time Of it as repr esente
for it will be:strictly opposed by some Of tn
most prominent Republicans in that bod.
