Secretary Fish is understood to have in
st-ucted Mr.. Hoffman, in charge of the
American Legation in London, to notify the
British Government that the United States
peremptorily refuses to concede the condi-
ton imposed in the case of Winslow-that
he shall be tried only on the charge for
which he is extradited, and to further
give notice that the enforcement Of this
condition win be regarded by our Govern
ment as an abrogation by Great Britain of
the tenth article of the treaty of 1S42, and
that hereafter the United States will de-
cline to extradite persons charged with the
commission Of crimes upon British soil
The effect of this, in theevent of England's
continued adherence to the act of Parlia-
ment Of 1870, viii be to wholly suspend ex-
tradition between the two nations until a
new treaty can be negotiated.

Mr.. Clapp, Congressional printer, was
examined on the sth, by the House Com
mite on Printing, in reference to the re-
ceipts from the sale of waste paper, extra
books and documents, and binding. He
stated that he had now on hand about fifty
thousand dollars. This amount he always
kept in order to anticipate his current ex-
penses in the event Of not being able to
draw from the Treasury, all his drafts be-
ing made on the first of the month. The
committee are of the opinion that the re-
ceipts from these sources annually foot up
a large sum, and allege that Mr.. Clapp has
no account Of them on his hooks, and has
been using them in violation Of law. They
claim that he should have covered these re-
eeipts into the Treasury and reported them
in the same manner that such reports are
made by other disbursing officers.

The bill reducing the Presidential sal
airy to $25, 900 per annum has passed both
branches of Congress. The question now
is, what viii the President do with it.
Mr.. George P. Bowler, one of the heirs
of the Bowler estate, has given Mr.. Pendle-
ton the benefit of statement in the Gin
cinnsti Enquirer to the effect that Mr..
Pendleton's large share in the proceeds Of
the Kentucky Central Railroad claim was
no more than he was justly entitled to, and
that all the heirs were perfectly satisfied
with the small portion that remained to
them after Gentleman George had deduct
ed his fees. All of which is undoubtedly
true. The Bowler heirs were more than
satisfied. They expected to get nothing,
and got something, thanks to Mr.. Pendle-
toms powerful influence with the then Sec
retary Of War.

is-worse than was supposed when he got
away. Hehas swindled his old step-mother
ont Of every dollar she had in the world,
and the daughter Miles O'Riley loses
everything, as he was the trustee of her
deceased fathers estate. This villain ran
away owing quite $500, 600, and the terri
bic feature of it is, that this money was al
most entirely -trust-funds, placed in his
control because of his reputation for in
tegrity. He sold mortgages and bonds be-
longing TO estates, and squandefed the
money in most reckless manner. As he
was reputed to be rich no one objected to
his high living, and no one thoughtit sing
ular; but since his departure it has been
discovered that he never had anything
that his whole life was an imposture. he
was judge, and had held many positions
of honor and profit, and up to the very day
of his flight could have been elected to any
position in the gift of the people. There
seems to be an epidemic of scoundrelism
just now.
THE FASHIONS.
New bonnets are out, and the newest and
choicest style is snug little Partisan
shape, with high, square crown, and close
brim, being an inch smaller than last years
shape, and ever so much more becoming,
having peculiarly neat and modest ap-
pearance.
This particular fashion, am told, is
only to be found at the importers, so ad-
wise ladies' to insist on their milliners Sc
lecting it for them when they go on to buy
goods. Rough and ready stravs, in close
forms, small and becoming, will be a styl-
ish bonnet this season, and there is SATIN
finished, French rough straw, of beautiful
design, that is the prettiest thing out in
bonnets, in masculine eye-it is so un-
pretending with all its style. As usual,
this choice simplicity is not economical
an untrimmed hat of this sort costing S.,
and the wreath Of wheat or oats which
trims it, as much more. Rather coarse,
unfinished chips Of light ecru color, are
the stylish dress hats, either in the scoop,
or the other shape, and scarfs of yellow
net. lace, or wide, erape-like silk ribbon,
with wreaths and masses of fine flowers on
or about the crown, are the favorite trim
ming. PIETRo,

POSTAL TROUBLES.

The city had scare this week. The ap-
preparation for the expenses of public
buildings being all exhausted, and Con-
gress having made no provision for
such an emergency, the postmaster here
was notified to cut of the gas, wster and
fuel. This Of course meant cessation Of
business in the post-ofice, and q virtual
closing Of it. The city took alarm. Post
master James was helpless, and for day
1t seemed very likely that the city would
be without postal facilities. Imagine the
consequences Of closing the New York
postofleel The business Of the whole
country passes through it, and the effect
would be felt from Maine to Texas. But
New York was equal to the emergency; the
gas companies authorized Mr.. James to 60
on, they taking their chances Of getting
their pay from the government, the water
board did likewise, and the merphantspledg-

/ advise farmers to be wary as regards
the alleged good qualities of the many new
varieties of potatoes that exist. Don't buy
many, only a pound or half peck, at first

are, as there may be expected hereafter a
great deal of humbugging in these new
varieties. But think the Snow Flake pota-

RENTS AND HOUSES.

AAAA-N-0
The real estate agents are playing a hope
less game before the first of May, trying to
get as near the old rents as possible, but
the tenants have the best of it, and some
thing like this course of proceeding goes
on. The tenant asks for lower rent; agent
Of course declines and posts bill on the
house f'to rent" Say the holder has been
paying $2, 700 for the last three years; he
now wants to pay only 81, 200. For the
first two weeks he don't do much toward
looking for new place for himself, and
agent sticks ont pretty well, till tenant act
ually goes to Whitestone, Newark, or some
other place Of cheap rents, to hire house.
The day after he gets home the agent calls
round early to say civilly that it don't seem
worth while to make a change, asthey have
been on good terms so long, the tenant may
have the house at his own offer for year,
but he must expect raise next May. He
keeps his house, hugs himself at getting his
own price, and calculates that he viii get
a new parlor carpet, risking the very hazy
idea of having to move in earnest next year.
Agents may talk about next year for gen.
Grafton to come; nobody is afraid Of them
just now. Why should they be, when
stores that rented for $14, 900 within three
years and last year for $500, tumble this
year to s5,OOO7 The building occupied by
a well known dry goods firm year before
last rented for $4,000. They offered $15,
600 for it last year, which was Indignantly
refused, and they moved out. The build
ing stood empty all last season, and the
owners would be very glad to let for $12,-
600 to-day. Things don't fall in such
way to get up again in any one year.

New York viii be more of point of at
traction this year than Philadelphia. Every
body viii, of course, go to Philadelphia and
see the Exposition-then they viii come to
New York and see the metropolis. want
to notify visitors that they may come to
New York and stay here long enough to
see the city, thoroughly, at not very large
expense. Avoid the large hotels, avoid the
small ones, and, above all, avoid the Euro
pean hotels. In brief, dodge the hotels al
together. Go to clearinghouse, where
you can live for from S. to So week, and
be tolerably well taken care of. At least
you viii get all you can eatand good, clean,
comfortable beds. These houses can be
found anywhere below Fourteenth street,
either east or west of Broadway, and the
visitor whose ability to pay is limited can
be accommodated at any price desirable.
Those who have money VIII, of course, go
to the frst-class hotels and be bled for the
style of the thing, but it is unnecessary.
Stylish boarding-ho houses can be found at
from $40 to $12 per week, in the vicinity Of
Lafayette Place and Tenth street; or, for
the matter of that, on all the streets in that
vicinity. And let me say right here, that
when you come to New York next summer
come prepared to stay long enough to see
what great city really is. Walking down
Broadway and going up to Central Park is
not seeing New York. You want to get
down in among the poor; you want to see
the shipping; Wall street ought to take up
two days; and then you ought to penetrate
the interior of the greatbusiness warehouses
in the lower part Of the city, and see some
thing of the magnitude of their operations.
By all means get into the inside of such an
establishment as Harpers', and go over to
Staten Island and up the East River, that
you may enjoy the finest water-view in the
world and the finest suburban residences.
1t wouldn't hurt you any to spend day
or two at Long Branch to see the frivolity
of summer watering place. All this can
be done for very little money, il you only
know how. Your wives and daughters viii,
of course, want to see Stewards and the
great jewelry stores; and if you have any
taste for art, the picture galleries are open
all the time. To do this cheaply, go to
boarding houses to live, use the street cars
and stages, and by no means allow yourself
to be seduced into carriage or cab. Street
cars run everywhere in the city-indeed,
on some Of the lines you may ride seven
miles for five cents. And on Sundays of
course you will want to hear Beecher, Tying,
Frothingham and dozen more Of the great
lights with which the city sbounds, and in
all their churches You win find plenty Of
OF free pews and good, Christian courtesy
and consideration. In all the metropoli-
tan churches especial pains are taken to
make strangers entirely welcome and at |
their ease. By the way, don't fail to at
tend service once, at least, in old Trinity,
where you viii hear the best church music |
in the city. Come, by all means, and have
q good time.

OUR NEW YORK LITER.

NJ cESrESN1ALp POEM.

Il is finally settled who will write The
poem for the Centennial opening. The
compliment of being requested to write it
has been passed round among the elder
poets of the country, and declined by each
with thanks in turn. Mr.. Bryant consider
ed that his years ought to exempt him
from the task. Mr.. Whittier never writes
odes for occasions, and it would be coun-
trary to the habit of his life to do such
thing. Mr.. Longfellow hates writing to
order. Mr.. Lowell declined, and the lau-
reate's duty ,has.at last been assumed by
the man who Of American writer's is most
capable of turning out the highest work,
as one may say, under cOmpulsion-Mr.
Bayard Taylor. There is one poet who
would have written up to the style of the
occasion-not Bayard Taylsr, but B. F.
Taylor-who has the finest flow Of horid
English in verse, adapted to the general
contour of the performance, who would
have burned red lights and blue in numbers
that would have scared and swelled and
streamed like holiday banner. / dare
say that all the other poets would have been
glad to relinquish the task to him, and he
would not have done the time and audience
discredit.

general government, has also received

latter measure has met with favorable
consideration in the, committee and
the latter will report favorably upon
it in a short time, adding some un-
important amendments. II this bill
should become a law, which is doubt

Blaine and eSnAl@g.

: Our mention The other day of the
existence of a feeling of hostility
between these two prominent mem
bers of the Republican party, has
called out a number of inquiries in
regard TO the particulars which led
10 this hostility. Some Of our readers
may have forgotten the event, but
most intelligent students of political
Affairs. will recollect that years ago
ut a time when, indeed, many Of the
leading spirits of the present Demo-
cratic House were fighting to destroy
the Union-Hon. James G.. Blaine
and Hon. Roscoe Conkling. then
members of the House, had a fierce
debate in a discussion of a measure,
now an amendment TO the Constitu-
ton. Up TO this time Mr.. Conkling
had been looked up to aslthe RSpub-
lican leader in the House Of Rep:
resentatives, but he had by dom
neering and imperions ways,
made himself extremely and uni
versally unpopular, if not odious,
in that body. Blaine gave him
a terrible, merciless castigation,
which caused the implied victim TO
writhe and fairly groaps I'M agony.
From that day these two men have
been at swords points. But we are
now assured that the ex-Speakerand
tkhe Senator from New York. or their
respective friends, have smoothed
downthe rugged front of This personal
antagonism and that it is agreed that
neither will oppose the other at Gin
einnati. If u politicians will keep
on agreeing not to ''antagonize" one
another, we shall soon enter into
The political millennium, and much
good the country at large will derive
from these suspension of hosttlities.
