Register from Charles on says the DEM
ocIatic State convention assembled there
to-day. d D. Johnson was made per-
manent president and Bernard PeytOn

jected by vote Of 22S yeas to 260 nays.
Hhe majority report was then adopted
by vote OF 2S9 yeas to 179 nays. The
financial lank is as follows:
Resolved, That, while we belong to a
sovereign State, aud believe that the
Republican party has treated such State
unfairly aid ubjastly by its financial
policy, and while we faver a0 immediate
repeal OF the specie resumption act,
taxation OF United ) .ates bonds like
other property, and the abolition Of the
present baking system, yet, at the
same time, we depfecste any efforts to
divide the Democratic party upon issus 8
involving money only, and recommend
that such issues be remittsd to the con-
gressional districts, or otherwise subor-
dinated to those great moral and cOnsti-
tutional questions which undeIl'e the
very existence of the Union and its in
sIitutions.

ExTRADITION TREATY.
Correspondence on the Subject OF iGH
Negotiation between the United
states and Great Britain
The Fish in the Way.

LONDON, June The British foreign
office has published the correspondence
relative to the extr8dtion trestv be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. From this it appears that HofE-
man, the American charge G'0fdirs
in convers ion with Lofd Derby, May
10Th, suggested q settlement of the diff :.
Guilty by the negotia,i IN Of an additional
article to the treaty Of 1912. Lord
Darby wrote to Hoffman, saying his
government was ready to meet this sug-
gssiiOn immediately, aud inclosed q
draft Of an article providing that persons
extrRdited shall only be tried for the
offsnss for which they are surrendered.
This article is similar to one formerly
sgreed to by Mr.. Fish during the nego-
ualions in 1871, concerning the
revised treaty. Esd Darby telegraphed
Sir Edward thornton, British minister at
Washington, authoriziDg him to sign
the additional article as above. Fish
declined to accept the proposal, and ex-
pressed to Minister Thorton his extreme
regret that H0ffnan's suggestion should
have led Lord Derby into q missppre-
hension. Though the United States lie
wiliiD5 10 make 8 new ,Snd en-
larged treaty it could not agree
TO the proposed article. Earl Der.
by wrote 80 Minister Thornton
on the twenty-Dinth of May, expressing
his regret that Secretary Fish declined
to agree to the additional article as ev.
cry Obstacls to the surrender of the pris.
Oners would have been thereby removed.
On the question as to what authority
should decide whether an offense
for which prisoners exuadi-
ton is denal ded is political or
criminal. Edglaud agreed to meet
Mr.. Fish's views by omittiDg from the
clause the words empowering police
magistrates TO etsrmine the nature of
the crime, but the government could
not hold Out the hope that it would be
possible 10 AK parliament to sanction a
treaty opposed to the act of 1870, or
which would permit the trial of extra
dited persons for an eXtraditable crime
other than that for which they were sur-
rendered. He coDclutes: "Tne govern
ment earnestly hope that Secretary Fish
will withdraw his j4ction to the addi-
tional article, and thus enable the treaty
to be signed Immediately"
