The Weather.

The chief features of yesterdays weather
were the movement of large area Of high
pressure eastward from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic and the advance of depression
through the Gulf from the southwest toward
Florida. Accompanying the former areas of
snow and rain extended over Nebraska and
Dakota and from ST. Louis through the Ohio
Valley to Montreal, in Canada. In the South
light rain fell at New Orleans. The Gulf
depression was very slight, and has moved
into the Atlantic off the coast of Georgia
and will probably slightly influence our
weather during to-day. The highest press
ure is now over New York, with cold clear
weather, and the lowest off the Nova
Scotia coast. with cloudiness and low tenn
peraturc. A depression is advancing from
the Northwest, but does not as yet indicate
more than q moderate snowfall. On the
ocean the present weather will favor quick
passages to Europe, but ships bound to our
ports from the east will experience head
winds and frequent snow areas. The region
of ocean storms is now northward of the
forty-iifth parallel and eastward of the for
ticth meri ian. The weather in New York
to-day will be slightly colder and partly
cloudy or clear, followed toward night by
increasing cloudiness.

ExrRaprTroS WITH ENGLAND. General
Grant sent to Congress yesterday,
with message, the latest correspondence
of the State Department with the English
government in reference to the extradition
of persons charged with crimes. These
papers give the official statement Of the
facts that were laid before the public in our
cable dispatches several days since. AL
though the facts were given by the telegraph
in clear and accurate outline, the concession
as made by the British government was
such piece of diplomatic nicely that the
cable was perhaps unable to do it JUS
tice. Her Majesty's government expresses
its desire mot to be understood TO
recede from the Interpretation which in
its previous correspondence it had put
upon the treaty." yet does, in fact, sim
ply and strictly ''reeede from that inter-
probation" 1t agrees to<surrender crimi-
nails as the United States demanded. and
ms England refused to surrender them. but
desires still to be understood as maintaining
the grounds of its refusal in theory. while
yielding the position in fact. 1t is scarcely
o true view of the dignity OF great govern
ment to have such an anxiety to be "let
down easy"

WALL STREET YEsTERpAY.-The bear move

drunken Judge Durell and his Infamous
midnight order" SO strongly denounced by
republican committees of Congress, by
which the choice Of the people of Louisiana
was nullified few years since Durell
committed suicide to save himself from
slaughter" or. in plain language, he resigned
his office to escape impeachment-a confess
sion of guilt which precludes other judges
from pleading his action as precedent
But Judge Bond who fastened from Balti-
more to Columbia to assist in party scheme.
has not yet committed judicial suicide, and
we suppose Judge Wood. who is on his way
to Tallahassee on similar errand, will take
Judge Bond for model. When the latter
went to South Carolina, two or three weeks
in advance of the time for holding his court
it was industrously denied that he had any
political! purpose. 1t was proclaimed by
telegraph that he was 50 early on the ground
merely to prepare for the opening of his
court but subsequent facts demonstrated
that this was false pretence and that the
real object of his early visit was to be on
the ground to grant writs Of habeas corpus
to circumvent the action of the State Su-
preme Court in the interest of the repub-
lican party. His lending himself to be q
tool of party was judicial scandal, and he
was so conscious that he had made an
untenable decision that he arranged
with the Associate District Judge for
disagreement which would carry
the case up to the Supreme Court of the
United States for final adjudication. He
knew well enough that the appeal could not
be decided in season to redress the wrong
and he must rest under the charge Of hav-
ing prostituted his judicial Office to partisan
demands.
1t seems too evident that Judge Wood has
consented to tread in the footsteps
of Judge Bond. He is on his way
TO Tallahassee at the beck of unscrupu-
lous Washington politicians. He goes
there to re-enact the part played by Judge
the highest State Court 1t is expected that
the Supreme Court of Florida will arrest the
members of the Canvassing Board for con-
tempt, and Judge Wood is to be on the
ground to release them on writs of habeas
corpus. There has never been in our poll
tics anything quite SO scandalous and de-
plorable as this ready prostitution of judi
cial functions to partisan ends.
The public mind, which reaches just con-
clusions without going through the tedious
forms of law, will have no difficulty in esti-
mating this outside interference with the
action of the Florida courts. 1t will shock
and repel NIL candid minds. Their censure
will not be softened by attempts to assassi-
nate the reputation of the Florida judges. If
they are unworthy of confidence that fact
should have been discovered before. No
body thought of impugning their integ-
rity until they decided, three days ago, that
the Florida votes ought to be recanvassed,
and the trumped up charges against them will
be regarded as inventions of partisan malice
and disappointment. If Hayes really car
ried the State why should his supporters
violate every rule of decency in fighting off
a new scrutiny of the returns?

what Are You Going to Do About It

What Are You Going to DO About II :
The presidents and officers of our street
railroad companies have kindly notified the
public that on one point in regard to the
popular demand for warm cars they are all
agreed. They have no idea of paying any
attention to the subject or of granting
any relief to the suffering people this
year, and practically repeat the famous
question, "What are you going to do
about it?' Some of them are gracious
enough to admit that it would be de-
sirable if their death pedlers' wagons which
they call horse cars could be conveniently
heated, but they all profess to find in
superable objections to every plan pro-
posed for that purpose. Stoves are of
course out of the question on crowded lines.
Hot water or steam is not to be thought of.
The weight of the chagferette and the water,
one railroad authority declares, would re-
quire an extra pair of horses to drag it. To
be sure the whole arrangement filed with
water would not weigh over one hundred
weight of passenger, and we certainly
never knew street car conductor to refuse
to squeeze one extra fare on to his
platform out of compassion for the horses
Another expert in the art of making
passengers uncomfortable declares that the
wet leather of boots coming in contact with
the hot plates would cause so offensive an
odor in the car rs to drive the people out
But this individual finds nothing objection
able in the foul, pestilential air of one of the
close, decayed, dirty night cars on the Third
avenue line, packed like sardine box with
human beings, not oil of the most cleanly
order
1t has long been evident that the people
who have foolishly given away valuable
franchises to these greedy, grasping compa-
nies can expect no voluntary relief from
their officers If the passengers are to be
protected at all it must be through the action
of the Legislature or the Common Council
A bloated corporation like the Third Avenue
Railroad Company. which is piling up divi-
dends by the one hundred per cent trusts
probably to the strength of the money made
through the people to defeat the just de-
mands of the people. The experience of the
past would appear to justify this confidence.
But if the Alderman who has manifested a
disposition to compel the companies to yield
something to the public does not turn out to
be another Killian we may yet bring the rail-
road people to terms.

a profound interest for the
