the PresiGent-elect to declale the Recon-
struciion Act
NULL AND VOID,
and compel the army 20 end the alleged
usdrpation at the South, AID lie We the
white people u reorsanize, their own
Government. SIrelys, said the President,
il the army, accordiI e TO Gen B air, could
be used to wipe out Governments, it
could, in my opinion, be employed 20 sup
port them. The Democratic nationsl con-
vention after this letter was written, nom
mated Gen. Blair for President on
the ticket with Gov. Seymour. The
Republican State Governments at the
South had nothing to expect from the
Democrats under their rule All such
Governpents
WOULD FALL OUT,
as in Mississippi, where General Ames was
legally elected Governor, but was warned
to vacate the Office and is now a fugitive
from the State.
The President seemed pleased with the
action Of the British government in retiring
from its position on the extradition clause
of the treaty of 1912, by srrrend.ring
Brent, the Louisville forger, remsrking
that the treaty, which was suspended, is
thus revived, and hereafter he would be
prepared to respond to the regulations
from the British government for fugitive
criminals.
THE ENTIRE CORRESPONDENCE
between two governments will be trans
mitted to Congress on Wednesday. The
President said the treaty Of 1874 with
Great Britain, provided only Tor the extra
dition of persons charged with murder or
forgery, but in the treaty of 1912 the num-
Der Of offtnses was increased 20 as to in
clude piracy, arson, robbery, or the utter
ance Of forged papers. The number, he
thought, might be still further increased,
not, however, to include de.ertion from the
army or navy.
