Mr.. Hallett KiIb0urn's Invitation "a
Congress-.

Mr.. Hallett Kilbourn did not, as we sug-
gested he might so into the galleries of the
House and smile with complacency upon MIR.
Glover and the democratic party, who had
put him in prison, but he addressed letter
to the Speaker, in which he took full
revenge upon his enemies He had the
honor, he said, to respectfully inform Mr..
Kerr that he was out of Jail, and that he
had indicated the rights Of the abstract
American citizen in his own person. More
than this, he invited the honorable COM
mittee of investigation on the real estate
pool to visit his own Office and look over the
books of the distinguished firm of Kill
request to make, and that was that
after they had examined the books
and thoroughly investigated their contents
they would not allow the private TRANSACT
tons of the firm to be published. This
stipulation is very much as if MIR. Bingham
should invite General Butler to dine with
him on condition that he would not take
the spoons away in his pockets But Mr..
Kilbourn assures Mr. Kerr of his .highest
regard for yourself and respect for tho hon
orable House Of Representatives !" so we
think the invitation TO his Office ought to be
accepted, the conditions to the contrary
notwithstanding. The House laid Mr. Kill
bourn's polite letter on the table, but we
trust the committee ON the real estate
pool will treat him with more courtesy.
II is to be remembered that the
House Of Representatives entertained Mr..
Kilbourn in the most liberal style. II.
sent him to Jail, it is true but that offence
was amply compensated when it allowed him
to eat eighteen dollars and seventy-five
cents worth of victuals day, and some
days to indulge his appetite for Savannah
shnd, Florida peas, Georgia strawberries,
South Carolina lettuce, French wines and
illegal brook trout at the cost of twenty-five
dollars. This liberal bill of fare was apprc-
ciated by Mr. Kilbourn, who. being deprived

The article which we copy from the Utica
Herald proves, what perhaps needed no adj
ditional proof, that Governor Tilden's demo-
cratic enemies in this State are straining
every nerve to belittle his prospects and
create an impression that q majority of the
delegates appointed at Utica will turn
against him. The republican organ at Utica
publishes q classification Of the delegates,
given it by what it calls ''the best demo
cratic authority" in which thirty-seven are
made to appear as Seymour men and thirty
three as Tilden men, giving Mr.. Seymour
a majority of the delegation. The ''demo-
cratic authority" which supplied the Utica
Herald with this estimate is, of course hos
tile to Governor Tilden, and both prompter
and publisher are willing enough to damage
him.
The article touches Governor Seymours
sense of honor SO closely that he has felt
constrained to write letter of contradiction,
which was printed last evening in the Utica
Observer, the local democratic organ. We
append this letter to the article it contra-
diets. Mr.. Seymour states, of his own
knowledge, tnat many OF the delegates said
to favor him are earnest supporters of Cover
nor Tilden, and that some of the others
would not support himself, even if he were
candidate, which he has no intention of
being, as he would not accept nomination,
''even in the improbable event that one
should be rendered" 1t is idle to inquire
how the New York delegation would stand
if Mr.. Seymour should change his purpose.
There can be no doubt that majority of
them are now for Tilden, nor that they will
adhere to him if he develops strength
enough in other States to render his nomina-
ton probable. The necessity which Cover
nor Seymour is under of publishing formal
contradiction of such story and vetoing the
efforts of his friends is a curious and signif-
cant indication of the strength of the politi-
cal undercurrent

There are, no doubt, many thousands of

there is a good portion Of this community
and other communities who feel the deepest
interest in events like the opening of the

proper form it is not disputed that the
proofs were sufficient; not disputed that the
case is clearly within the stipulations Of the
treaty, nor that the obligation Of the
British government to- surrender him
is perfect, if he is to be tried for for
gerry and.for that crime alone. But while
admitting that the demand for his surrender
Is in strict accordance with the treaty, both
in form and substance, the British govern
ment demanded promise that lie should
not be put on trial for any other crime. Al
together apart from the treaty, it is q simple
impossibility that this demand could be
complied with. Had Winslow been sur
rendered, he would have been re-
manded to the jurisdiction of the State
pursuance Of her criminal laws, with which
the federal officers could not interfere with
out subjecting themselves to impeachment.
In this country nearly all crimes are pun
ished by State laws, and the great body of
our criminal jurisprudence is quite outside
the province of the federal government. This
fact, when duly considered, will be found
to shed flood Of light on the proper inter
pretation2oft the treaty Of course the United
States never stipulated to perform an i'm
possibility. They never entered into an
engagement to protect surrendered criminals
against the operation of State laws, for they
had no authority to do anything of the kind.
No man understood this better than Mr..
Webster, who negotiated the treaty every
Senator who voted for the ratification of the
treaty understood it; Lord Ashburton and the
British Ministry ought to have understood
it, for it is one of the most obvious features
of our political institutions that the juris-
diction of the separate States over crimes
committed within their territory and against
their laws is absolute and cannot be re-
strained by the federal Executive 1t is wild
and preposterous to contend that the
United States ever made a treaty which
either directly or by the remotest implica-
ton obligated the President to violate the
constitution by interfering with the admin
istration of criminal justice in the States.
This argument alone brushes and demol-
ishes the British pretence that our govern
ment stipulated in the treaty of 1912 that
criminals should be tried only for the
offence for which they are extradited. They
could not have made such compact with
out exceeding their authority and subvert-
ing the institutions of the country.

class that We printed the cable despatch
describing the opening Of the French Salon,
which appeared yesterday.
This is an office which used to be done by
ingenious correspondents, who were wont
10 go from picture to picture and send rs
the ablest and keenest and most enjoyable

world. This is all past. Whatever is worth
doing in this absorbing era is worth doing
at once. We print the news as the sun
rises-the news of to-day to-day, and
not a fortnight hence. If it is worth while
to say anything about Salon exhibition it

if every word must be flashed under the seas

practices by which the money appropriated
for the Legitimate administration of the navy

if these gentlemen have been cognizant of
improper practices they have not only given
the committee the full benefit of their

chance to do so. Honorable gentlemen in

SENATE.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July &C.
The impeachment proceedings were resumed
Immediately after the Senate vas called to
order.
Mr.. Carpenter continued his argument for
the defense. He spoke of the questions of law
in the case which in his opinion entirely settled
it. He contended that not one of the articles of
Impeachment charged Belknap with having re-
ceived money with intent thereby to be COR
rupted. 1t was the intention which made
crime. The trouble which defense experienced
in the case was that they had been tried in the
high forum of public opinion. They had been
tried in the press, in school-houses and bar
rooms aud all over the land, and condemned
without any knowledge OF the law. 1t now
seemed strange to hear that there was any
doubt about this mans guilt or the regularity
of the proceedings here, but it was here the
accused had to be tried. TO Senators he had
a right to make the appeal which he could
not make to the public, which he had no op-
portunity to make 10 the press. He had a ri ght
to the Judgment of the Senate just as though
he had not been condemned by the public and
press. twas distressing to the accused to see
his sentence recorded in the New York
papers week ago and hear the court .berated
and lampooned for not hurrying up with the
verdict. He denied that Belknap received
money with intent to have his official action
swerved, and without that intent there was no
crime. Mr.. Carpenter argued that Beknap
mad not COMMITTED any crime, and even if he
had taken a bride the courts in the District
were adequate TO deal with him.
Mr. Lord followed and concluded his argu-
ment at $40, when the Senate sitting as a
court of impeachment adjourned till noon to-
morrow. at which time they will proceed to
vote on the final issue.
The legislative business was then resumed
and Mr.. Anthony submitted a resolution to
print 1900 extra copies of the report of the
commissioners of education for 1875, and 1900
extra copies of the special commission which
recentlyiinvestigated Mississippi affairs Agreed
to.
