SPECIE.

After several painful and protracted at
tempts at caucus incubation, the Payne
financial bantling was at last Matched, only
to be despatched by the House, on Monday
last. This was the compromise measure on
which the hard and soft money Democrats
hoped to agree. The vote on the motion
to suspend the rules and pass it, was very
significant in one respect. 1t established
what has long been apparent, that in spite
of platforms and resolutions, the National
Democracy will take no step in the direc-
ton even of specie payments, Connecticut
or other State resolutions to the contrary
notwithstanding. This the leading organs
of the party admit. The New York World
even, painfully confesses that "There is no
"tongue SO persuasive as to induce the peo-
"ple to believe the Democratic party sin
"cere in its demand for resumption" The
solid party vote of 81 in favor of the bill,
illustrates the genuineness of the desire of
the Eastern Democrats for hard money,
the vote of the three Representatives from
ing aye. While two third vote was neces-
sary to suspend the rules, only few votes
more than one third favored the PROPOSE
ton, while the negative vote of 156 was
largely composed of the extreme initiation
lists, who repudiate all compromises or
measures looking to resumption. AS the
result of the defeat of this measure, it is
reasonable to assume, that the majority in
Congress will not attempt another currency
bill. 1t is hopelessly divided on this i'm
portant issue with the odds largely in favor
of the initiation element. Prominent East
ern hard money Democrats, such as Gov.
Ingersoll, of Connecticut, and Tilden, of
New York, have already shown their will
ingness to pander to the inflationists when
the question of party success in the Presi-
dental canvass is involved, and as in 1872
the Nation enjoyed the refreshing spectacle
of lifelong Protectionist on Free Trade
Democratic platform, it will be prepared
for any piece of financial gymnastics that
the Democracy may please to exhibit in
1874

THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION JOB.

The Legislature of 1874 appropriated the
handsome sum of one-quarter of million
of dollars for the construction of a House
of Correction. The assurance was made at
the time that the amount would be ample
and fully sufficient to erect such a building
as would be credtabe to the State, and
secure such an institution as the humanity
of the age demanded, in the treatment and
care of such classes of offenders against
the laws of the State as its established
criminal institutions did not afford. The
idea of a House of Correction was well
enough, the Taxpayers of the State did
not object to it. After the appropriation
was secured, the State Board of Public
Works selected a site for the proposed
building. Conceding the fact that the
location they selected was the best, but of
which there is very serious question, there
remained nothing more to be done than to
go to work and construct the building for
which the amount was amply sufficient OH
the showing of the advocates of the enter
prise. 1t was, therefore, rather shock to
the nerves of econ omical people when the
present Legislature was asked for an addi-
tional appropriation on House of Correc.
ton account. With that especial desire to
accommodate its party friends, the Legis-
lature not stopping to make any particular
inquiry as to how far the building had pro-
crossed, or how the $3.50, 600. 90 already
appropriated had been expended, whether
judiciously or otherwise, makes the addi-
tional appropriation asked. 1t was small
sum more. Only Sa02, 100000. But what
does that amount signify to the tax payers
of the State! $452, 600. 90, or nearly one
half a million of dollars on a House of
Correction, and the walls not yet up, is
trifling affair. But the second appropria-
ton was Oh account of furniture, and fit
tinss for the establishment. True. 1t was
Wise forethought to secure the fund be-
fore the building was ready to receive it,
Certainly the building will be completed
before the next session of the Legislature,
and the furnishing must be anticpa ted.
This is Agreeable enough for those who
make the expenditure, but look to it that
jolly taxpayers do not realize diagrssaJle
anticipations before the job is done with.
We believe in all seriousness, that instead
of $452, 600. 90 thus far appropriated by our
Ring Legislature, that any six respectable
contractors could build, furnish and put in
habitable condition, including workshops
institution of the kind for less than one
half the amount named. 1t is a piece of
legalized robbery Of the State Treasury.

AN INTERNATIONAL TANGLE.

Winslow, the Boston forger, late editor,
preacher, and legislator, who fled the coun
| try only to find himself in the hands of
London detectives seems destined to have
additional notoriety thrust upon him,
whether he will or no. He is the unwill-
ing subject of what may be properly called
an international dead lock. After Wins
lows arrest in London, our Government
demanded of England his extradition under
the provision of what is known as the
Webster Ashburton Treaty negotiated be-
tween the two Governments in 1912. By
this Treaty it was provided that "the
United States and her Britannia Majesty
shall, upon mutual acquisitions by them or
their ministers, officers or authorities re-
spectfully made, deliver up to justice all
persons who, being charged with the crime
of murder, or assault to commit murder,
or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or forgery,
or the utterance of forged paper committed
within the jurisdiction of either shall seek
an asylum or shall be found within the ter
ritories of the other" Now, however, the
British Government refuses to surrender
Winslow to our authorities, except upon
the guarantee by our Government that he
that of forgery, upon which his extradition
is demanded. An act of Parliament passed
it seems in 1870, provides that fugitive
from justice shall not be surrendered to
foreign State, unless provision is made 10y
that State that the accused person shall be
tried only for the particular offence on
which his original extradition is demanded
In other words, that the Government of
the United States must satisfy England
that the provision of the act of Parliament
will be complied with before the surrender
of Winslow. Thus it appears, that the
British Government valves the solemn obi
CATION of an international treaty for the
mutual surrender of fugatives from Justice,
and recognizes the local legislation of an
act of Parliament as paramount and of
higher authority. So far as our Govern
ment is concerned, compliance with such
provision seems impossible. The National
misses, except to receive and surrender to
the local authorities of the State of Massa-
chusetts, the fugative, extradited upon the
request of the Governor of that State, upon
the production to tho Secretary of State of
such evidence as fully establishes the fact
that such crime has been committed by
the fugative as is covered by the terms of
the treaty under which extradition is asked.
The Government at Washington cannot
undertake to limit the trial OF Winslow to
forgery only. He may be, and undoubtedly
is, an embezzler also, although only so far
indicted for forgery. The Governor of
Massachusetts, through whom the certified
indictment is forwarded to the National
Government, certainly has no authority to

DIR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHER
RY.-The standard remedy for the cure of
coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness, asthma, whooping cough, Group, sore
throat diphtheria, difficulty of breathing,
quinsy, phthisic, pain in the side and
breast, splitting of blood, liver complaint,
bleeding of the lungs and all diseases of
the throat, lungs and chest, including even
consumption. 1t seems hardly necessary
to dilate at length upon the virtues of this
favorite remedy for all diseases of the
lungs, throat and chest. 1t was introduced
to the public by DR.. Wistar nearly half a
century since, and 10y the wonderful cures
which it performed, gained an immediate
and enviable reputation, which to this day
it has fully sustained. From the gulf of
St. Lawrence to the shores of the Pa
cific, and in many countries abroad, there
are few villages or hamlets without civ
ing testimonials to the rapidity and GER
tainty of its curative effects. The propri-
etors. mindful of their responsibility to the
the afflicted, exercise the utmost care in the
selection and compromising of the various
ingredients of which the BALsAM is COM
posed; and the sick are assured that the
high standard of excellence on which it's
popularity is based, will always be main
tanned. SETH W. FowLE, prop, Boston.
