The Surrender of the Outlaws.

Tho surrender to the Brownsville authori-
tics of the three outlaws who broke the Jail
at Rio Grande City blasts another hope of
the Washington mischief makers. They
had declared that these prisoners would
never Ice given up by the Matamoras courts,
or, ii given up, would be rescued by the local
police or militia. In addition, when, last
week, the Mexican Government ior the sake
Of keeping the peace on the Rio Grande,
ordered thithcr from Vera Cruz 1900 rcgu-
lars, who could i'll be spared from other
service the Washington plottcrs set mp
cry that this was n hostile movement, which
must be opposed by counter force.
But now we find the Mexican Federal court
acting in good faith ON tho cxtradition
treaty, despite the local bitterness stirred
up by our invasions of Mexican soil. Nor is
this all. Local comments on the movement
of Mexican regulars to the Rio Grande show
that its object is to keep the peace. Lest
CANALEs, the Governor of Tamaulipas, who
has seen, with great modification, our
armed troopers dcliantly riding far and wide
in the domains OF his State should be tardy
Ia arrcsting McXicans who raid upon our
soil, force of regulars is sent to insure the
work.
Thus falls to the ground the charge that
the Mexican Government would refuse TO
give up the outlaws, and that il had sent an
army to the Rio Grandc with hostile intent.
But the plotters though ahashed, do not
despair Already we hear them claiming
that these prisoners are not enough; that

The Presidents of three sections of

that 6smbetta, at the r. opening Of the
Chamber, should move su iuierpella-
ton on the part ofahe Left but that,
contrary to the opinion Of Gambetta
himself and M. Theirs, he should re-
frain from srraigning the action of
Presideat MacMahon, whose irrespons-
ibility would be fully admitted. IL Was
also decided that the address in reply
to MacMahon's message should be
moderate, but decided If overtures were
made to the majority with view of
ministerial changes they should not be
rejected without consideration, al
though it would be necessary to insist
upon the retirement of M. Forton. 1t
was finally decided that the question of
sanctioning the budget should be left
to the Budget Committee. A majority
of the meeting appeared to be of the
opinion that nothing should be done to
