wINsLOw.s ExrRADTTION

:sOn last Monday Mr.. FAULKNER called
upon Secretary FISH to know the cause
for the delay in the extradi!lon Of WIN
SLOW, the Boston forger, and was inform
ed by the Secretary, that our government
had sent to the British government a
final demand for the surrender Of WIN
SLOW, but no reply has yet been received
to the demand. The dispatch is said to
be an able document covering over fifty
pages, and thoroughly conveys the stti-
tude assumed by our government. The
ultimatum concludes substantially rs
follows:
"The government OF the United States
with reason insists at this late day it is
net sound policy for friendly nation to
dictate in what manner and upon what
specific charges an American citizen
shall be tried for alleged criminal ofienses
when surrendered under an extradition
treaty. The new construction which her
MWesty's government has given to the
extradition articles in the treaty of 1912
is at variance with the leng established
custom and precedent governing the
surrender of persons fleeing to foreign
lands and charged with penal offenses
1t is with regret that our government
is compelled to affirm that should
her Msjesty's government insist
upon holding Winsiow as subject
to prosecution only upon the
specific charges set forth in the warrant
Tor his extradition, our government will
hold that it is an infraction of the spirit
OF the treaty, and will place the United
States in the position of demanding the
abrogstion IF that article OF the treaty
relating TO exhibition
1t will thus bcaeen tina. the position
taken by the administration is firm
one, and the reply Of the British gov
eminent is awaited with much anxiety.
Shonld the construction made b. the
British foreign Office be adhered to, thea
the United States will become tho asylum
for all offenders fleeing from British
justice. while on the other hand England
would become the elysium Of the legion Of
forgers, burglars and murderers who ara
constantly in search Of safe refuge from
the arm of the law.

MASSACHUSETTS VERSUS BOUT.
WELL.

The Springfield Mass Republican de-
sires it to be distinctly understood tina:
Senator boutwell,, in his recent fiery
sectional reply to Mr.. BAYAkD in the
Senate, spoke for himself and not for
Massachusetts. 1t says that "Mr. BOUT
WELL expressed the belief that the spirit
of rebellion is still rampant at the South;
that there is no freedom there except for
those who are identified with the old
'slsve-holding aristocracy" is not shared
by. the intelligent people whom he IN part
represents. When he rakes in the ashes
Of the past, when he exaggerates and
aggravates the evils and difficulties of
the present, he is in n work with which
the great body of his constituents have
no sympathy"
TIE Republican says:
at is pleasant, and something more, to
hear Senator from Virginia saying, rs
Mr.. Withers said;
"I am conscious that our people are
misunderstood in some regards. They
are to-day misunderstood with regard to
their feelings toward their lac slaves. 1
assert here, to-day, that after the conclu-
sion of the war and the emancipation of
the slaves, SO far from being influenced
by hate and luminosity and vindictive
desire to crush those people out of exis
tence, or drive them from the country,
precisely the opposite sentiments were
felt by very large portion of the peo-
pie of Virginia. | assert that the
Southern people have never to this
day forgotten, and never will they
forget, the obligations they are under 10
their black population. hope that
my right hand may be withered and my
tongue palsied if ever forget my own
personal obligation to them. During the
war, when the whole manhood OF the
South was carried to the front TO fight
the battles of the South, our wives and
our little ones were left alone under the
charge and guardianship of cur slaves;
and am proud to say, to-day, that, not
withstanding all the appeals and all the
nefarious influences which were brought
to bear upon that population to bring the
war to speedy and bloody end, they
were deaf to these appeals, they resisted
these influences, they were true to the
trust reposed to them; and / hope shall
never see the day when / am afraid or
ashamed to acknowledge our obligation
TO them"
The RepablieGn also quotes from Sena.
tor MAxEY, of Texas, viz:
81 desire here to state that as have
never uttered solitary word since /
have been q Senator calculated To
estrapge the people Of the North and
South, so never will utter a sentiment
of that kind so long as have the honor
to be q Senator on this floor. have no
more respect for Southern man who
will scatter the apples of discord, breed
dissenslon for the sake Of local celebrity,
than have for Northern man. He
who would seek self,aggrandisement at
the expense Of his country is not true
patriot He may call me rebel; he may
call me traitor, and all that, bat that Is
not lore of country schieh keeps a country
apart"
The words in italic strike the key note
of the political situation. 1t is not |
patriotism, but party, which deals in
acrid sensational defamation, or seeks to
kindle intoa flame the embers of old |
feuds.

A WONDERFUL FEAT The fastest
travelling that has ever been recorded
is the trip across the continent in SO
hours and thirty-four minutes, includ
ing all stoppages. The train started
from New York, or rather Jersey City.
on the first of June. The train ran
through to Chicago by daylight, and
through to San francisco in the time
above mentioned. The fastest time
made was sixty-eight miles per hour
On the Central Pacific road the shoes
of brakes on Pennsylvania cars be
came worn out, and the Pacific Go. put
on two of their own coaches to brai e
the train. Only l6 passengers were
carried. Meals were taken in tbe
Pullman dining coach. This run wa
made by certain parties who chartered
the train, and made arrangements with
the railroads for the right of way. /,
was made just to see what could be
done, and is the greatest railroad feat
on record.
