The Escaped Fenians and the Extra
dition Question.

ON Saturday last, six persons who had
been convicted ten years ago Of grave
crimes against the laws Of Great Britain,
nnl who re thercupon sentenced 10 I'M
prlsoumcut for life, arrived in New Notk
II. ~ West Australia. They had been
rescued from the Frcemantle jail III that
colony hv friends. and were brought TO
this country " the American whaling
bark Catulpn. No one suppose thai they
would be given up By our Government to
tho British authorities, even If the present.
dispute concerning oXtradiliOn had not
arisen. The London Tunes, in it's art Gle on
then escape, terms them murdcrols and
military traitors, yet does not hint ut such
a thing Us their surrender. But why Z
Because, although there is not IL word in
the treaty on tine subject the right OF nsy-
lum for political Offences is recognized and
enforced ~ 10Th nations.
That the acts Of Fenanism charged
against these men were offences of pure
" political character has been assorted by
eminent members of Parliament, and
theI q is no doubt that they would be so re-
garded here. OF course, the Government
a-ked to surrender an alleged fugitive is
necessarily the judge Of what is a political
offence. Mr DAVID DUDLEY FIELD in hi;
| international Code, to secure the right OF
asylum as understood by the United
! states, would define it rs "any offence
committed in furthoring civil war, insur'
recuon, or political connection, which II
committed between belliperents would
not be "A crlmo.' Assuming ia this case
that the alleged GRIMES fall within this de-
nnuon, if these Fonians had escaped d.
roctly 10 the United states before arrest
our Government would undoubtedly auC
justly have refused TO comply with de
maud for their extradition. Now, there i.
10 danger Of any demand.

presslv demanded. The crimes specified
in our treaty with England are murder
assault with intont to commit murder, pi-
racy. arson, robbery, forgery, and the ut
terauce of forged paper. The British Gov
eminent, we will suppose, wants TO appre-
bend an escaped Fem l who has fed To
the United States. Tho real object Is to
punish him for an offence here regarded rs
political; but to disclose this Is TO fail in
the application for his surrender. So he'll
demanded for some extradition crime,
perhaps forgery, for which there IS not the
slightest intention OF putting him
on trial, there being scarcely
| shadow of proof against him, though
sufficient to satisfy tho letter OF
| the treaty. Finally he is surrendered, to
be tried in fact for an offence which or
titles him 90 an asylum in the country
that thus unwittingly delivers him up.

ton of such an occurrence, that it would
be a disgraccful piece of deception? We

Some of the newspapers have made
great fuss about the scene which occurred in
the House OF Representatives between SUNSET
Cox and kAssON Of Iowa, In which kAssON
charged Cox with telling un Untruth. and the
latter rotOrted with the lie direct. kAssON had
been making a speech an hour long. nlled with
tho most outrageous ISLANDERS Of Mr. TnDEN,
the falsity OF which was fully exposed by hr.
HEWITT, and Cox In replying to him was treated
by the inaccurate member from Iowa with In
siderable insolence. The scene which occurred
is thus reported In the Congressional Record:
