WINSLOW.
He is Formally Committed.

LONDON, Mar. 3.-Winslow was again brought
to Bow street police court this morning and
formally committed to extraditiOn. Before the
proceedings Winslow had an interview with
his family in his cell. He was more cheerful,
and on entering the dock bowed slightly to the
magistrate, Sir Thomas Henay, who said:
II have now received formal notification that
the American government has applied for your
extradition upon charges of forging seven pro.
missory notes, detailed in the Indictment and
read here yesterday, and also for uttering the
same. L have nothing more to say than that /
commit you"
Wlnslow bowed his head slightly. He asked
that the watch taken from him at the time of
his arrest, which was priced on account of its
associations, might be given his wife. Sir
Thomas Henry said be had no power to make
such an order. He referred the proposition TO
Col. Cheeseborough of the American legation.
who said the legation merely appeared to OBJ
tain his extradition and not as prosecutors. He
thought it would not become them either to
assent or object. Detective Dowell of Scot.
land yard, said the watch was of gold and seem
ed to be good one, and that Mr.. Dearborn. the
American officer, said be would not object ITO to
giving it to Winslow. Mr.. Winslow supposed
that it would settle the matter and withdrew
the application. He was then removed to his
cell.
The point about Winslow's Icing committed
on the separate charges OF forging and utter
ing is important. After Sir Thomas said in
court yesterday that he had not received the
necessary notification from the British authori-
ties, the American legation remembering the
iasco in the case of Laurence, the fraudulent
custom house agent, withdrew the application
previously sent to the foreign Office asking the
extradition of Winslow ON the charge OF forge
~, and to make everything certain, substituted
an application asking exLradilion on charge of
forgery and uttering.
Winslow will now await the legal time, if
teen days, before being surrendered to MI.

LONDON, March "a despatch to the Tele.

Deres have been driven from their homes by
the overflow of the Seine.
The Left Centres Programme.
PARIS, March Sat meeting OF the mem
bers of the Left Centre to-day it was resolved to
maintain the Left Centre as a dis
tinct party In the coming assembly, and to re-
main satisfied with the retirement of Minister
Buffet and De Maux but demand a complete
reconstruction of the cabinet and administra.
tive staff, and the Inauguration of frankly
liberal policy. A programme was adopted de
claring the minimum of necessary reforms. 1t
comprises the appointment of mayors BY NUM-
cipal councils except in large towns the modi-
fication of the university education law so as to
restore to the state the exclusive right of con-
ferring degrees and deprive the diocese of its
recently granted separate capacity. The pro.
gramme does not recommend general amnes-
~ but proposes the appointment of a new COM
mittee of pardons, whose duty it shall be to
review the indictments and evidence against
political convicts.
CasimIr Perier, who exactly represents the
views above set forth, had a long conference
with Dufagre, at which tue terms of the minis
terial programme were discussed. No difficulty
arose. He subsequently, had an Interview with
MacMahou, who wishes to act entirely as
constitutional president, leaving to the chief of
the cabinet the selection of ministers in confor-
nifty with the ideas of the majority of the
chambers.

dered to be at Gibraltar early in April.

by the committee. The first was that it was
hasty, and the second that as Belknap had re-
signed his Office he could not be impeached
That it was hasty, almost everybody, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, admit The other poll
is yet to be settled. So far as the authority of
Judge Story goes Mr.. Hoar has the best of the
argument since it was shown plainly that
Blackburn's quotation from Story referred to
another point than the one in question, but
there was strong feeling in the House that
even if there is no precedent for the impeach,,
ment OF person who has resigned it should
not be within the power of wrong-doer to es-
cape penalty by his own act. It appears,
too, that some were influenced by the consi9,
GRAFTON that the question of jurisdiction could
best be decided by the Senate as court OF I'M
parchment.
BELKNAp's DECEPTION.
The President is said to be very angry at
Belknap tonight because of the ex-Secretary's
decepton Belknap, he says, told him on re-
signing that his wives had done all the mis-
chief. but he proposed to shield them and take
all the responsibility, and that in order to re-
lieve the President from all embarrassment he
wished him to accept his resignation at once.
For this reason the President complied with
his request-a compliance which has brought
upon him some severe criticism. 1t may be
said in this connection that while much SYM
disgrace, there is no disposition anywhere to
shield him from the consequences of his mis-
conduct. He has had good record heretofore,
military and civil, which entities him to high
confidence; but his best friends have no excuse
to offer for him. 1t appears to have been
case of deliberate malfeasance,-a barefaced
act in itself, and throwing disgrace upon the
public service. For such an action there is no
palliaton Republicans feel this quite as keen
1y, and with much more sorrow than the Dem
ocrats The blow is heavy, but it must fall
where it belongs
THE sECRETARY's PROPOSITION.
1t will be observed that the committee speak
in their report of a verbal proposition on behalf
of Belknap, which they unanimously voted to
refuse. The proposition was that Belknap
would make full confession, if the committee
would agree to suppress all testimony implIcat-
ing his wives. 1t is said that the committee at
first regarded this favorably, but on reflection
concluded that they could not accept it without
being derelct in their duty, and that, moreover
it really would do Belknap no good.
WHAT BELKNAP SAYS.
Secretary Belknap kept his room close today
and refused to see many visitors. Those who
did see him state that he says that there is
much of Mr., Marsh's testimony which is true:
that there is some of it which is absolutely
false, and that there are other portions of it
upon which he declines to express an opinion,
because it belongs to the dead. He does say
absolutely, however, that he never knew MI.
Marsh in connection with the letting of the
Fort Sill post. He appears quite depressed, but
wants it understood that whatever of RESPONSE.
bility there is to assume, that he is entirely re-
sponsible for it, and nobody else.

From the above it will appear that the aver
age sum assessed upon AUDITORS the past three
of the years named was $7733.S1, and the
amount assessed by Mayor Richardson's policy
was $21l9-a difference of $5514 in round num-
beers. The amount expended by his committee
for culverts which have been proved to be
worthless Tor the purpose intended. The ex-
penditure on culverts by Mayor Richardson is
$685. over the average of the three preceding
years. New sewers were asked for and the
petitions have been referred to the next City
government, sufficient to require an expendi-
ture of the average of past years, by which
1854 more than was received might have been
assessed and collected into the city treasury.
Add to this the excess of culvert expenditure
over the average. and it appears that the city is
out nearly fourteen thousand dollars in the de-
partment of drains and sewers, This is the
economy we should be thankful for. T.
