One source OF constant wonderment TO
the uninitiated was the stenographic re-

read off as gliOly as though printed

spark OF resistance to the constituted au-
thority. For so much lie, us be thankful.
President Grant may commit errors.
1t is possible that, even in this emergency,
in which he has thus far borne himself so
well, he may use his vast power without
Just cause. Ifhe does, we shall not be
slow to censure. But even then we shall
rejoice that the nation was not left, by n
feeble or treacherous executive, to plunge
into the bOttOmless pit of civil strife over
disputed election. Mexican anarchy is
the worst thing possible. If any step not
warranted by the sober sense Of the nat
ion, even at this time, the president would
soon meet restraint. But civil war about
4 disputed presidency, into which, if the
executive were weak, the mad passion OF
men might now precipitate the country
would be an evil without remedy, hope
less, senseless, lawless struggle, destroying
the very foundation Of self-government.-

Mn. RANDALL will make a brilliant
speaker. A moro extraordinary ruling
than that which he made Tuesday was
never imposed upon deliberatiye body.
The facts were these \ resolution from
the democratic side was reported to have
received exactly two-thirds vote necessary
TO suspend the rules and pass it. The
name Of Mr.. Plaisted of Maine was omit
ted, however, although he had voted
against the resolution. He claimed, and
after much opposition, of which it would
be impossible to speak in terms OF too
strong condemnation, the speaker conce-
ded, the right to have the mistake reetl-
fed. Then Mr.. Fuller of Indiana, said
that he had voted in the affirmative, and
claimed the right TO have his vote recor-
del. This was conceded Of course. Still
the democrats lack one vote. Then arises
Mr.. Randall, speaker Of the house of rep
rcscntatives, and says that If he had
known that his vote was necessary TO
carry the resolution, he should have vo-
ted and asks the privilege Of voting.
Gracious heavens Is the democratic
party "going hack on" the doctrine ga
iair count Of votes actually east 3' But
the incident was not at end Both sides
agreed to a new vote. "All right" says
Mr.. Speaker Randall II vote yes. The
resolution is carried" The dear inno-
cent supposed that the house agreed to
new vote for his sole, peculiar benefit A
republican member objected, but he was
not listened To. If the journal clerk Is
not puzzled by the problem presented to
him how 10 record the result, his ingen-
uity is equal to any test. Let Us see
If only the names Of Messrs. Fuller and
Plais;ed are added TO the lists in Mondays
record, the resolution is lost. If Mr..
Randall's name Is also added the record
is ialsi6ed. If the new vote of yesterday
appears on the journal. It will give rise
to the question whether the speakers vote
can be given alOne,-in short, whether he
is really a quorum, or, like the English
stakeholder, merely cujus.-BOstOn Adj

TruE ExrRADIrIoN TREATy.-It is said
that no negotiations are pending between
the United States and Great Britain, for
a new extradition treaty, but it seems
England has taken it upon herself to re-
store the old one. Brent the Louisville
forger, has already been re-arrested, and
warrants have been issued for the arrest
OF Winslow and Gray. The intention Of
the British Government is to hold these
fugitives subject to the order of the Uni
ted States, the same as though the force
and effect Of the treaty had never been in-
terrupted. Such is the construction
placed in Washington, upon the action of
her Majestys Government, and it is un-
derstood that the unconditional surrender
of these criminals will be accepted by the
United States as a complete revivifcation
of the Extradition Treaty. The backing
down of the British Cabinet from their
former position, upon this subject, must
be highly gratifying to Secretary Fish.

The Argus, Saturday, made 4 display
Of what vigorous English it had at COM
mand in denouncing the use Of the United
States troops in South Carolina, but has
not had the EinteSt breath Of censure for
the cause which makes the presence Of
troops in that State necessary. Il has no
word-through the canvass 1t has had no
word-in condemnation Of the rifle clubs
and their numerous work. Those rifle
clubs, it should be clearly understood, arc
regular military organizations, from the
company to the corps d'armee. They eX-
Isl not only without law but in defiance
Of law, which in terms prohibits them,
anil in defiance Of the State and national
authorities, both of which in the manner
pointed out in the constitution aud laws,
have commanded them to disband. Dis
regarding the mandate Of the law and
still continuing their bloody work, the
President would have been sadly remisS
in duty If he had not used the powers en-
trusted 70 him and the force placed under
his command by the supreme law of the
land, for the repression of disorder and
the preservation Of peace. That those
rife clubs were democratic political or
carnations was not his concern but that,
snde. whatever name OF character, they
became disturbers Of the peace and too
powerful for the State to control, was his
concern, and placed upon him duty which
he has not hesitnted TO perform. with the
fact before the country that Wade Hamp-
ton has under his command around the
state capitol and within ten minutes call
5000 men in those unlawful rifle clubs,
the duty Of general government becomes
plain 10 the dullest or the most bigoted
apprehension and the editor,who denOun-
ees the President for the performance of
50 plain duty, would pick the eoppers
of from his dead mothers eyes for fan.
