A New Rule of Extradition Proposed.

The principle that an accused person sur
rendered by one Government to another on
n charge OF crime is to he tried only for the
offence specified in tho demand for his sur
render, is recognized by most civilized ma
tions and by the leading writers on interna-
tional law. II is embodied by Mr.. DAVID
DUDLEY FIELD, In his well-known
draft outline of an international code,
which aims to state the law Of
nations as it is, and is asserted, on
the authority of many European ju-
rists. by Mr.. WILLIAM BEACH LAWRENCE,
in his latest writings on the subject. 1t
was insisted on by Great Britain in the con-
troversy which grew out Of the LAWRENCE
and W1NsLow cases. and disputed. unjustili-
ably. as We think, by Mr. HAMILTON FISH
That controversy led to the appointment in
England Of Royal Commission on Extra
dition. whose report has recently been laid
before Parliament
Its recommendations have been received
with n good deal of surprise, but very little
approval. Strangely enough the commits
sioners advised the Abandonment, in part at
least. Of the very principle for which the
British Government lately contended with
so much carnestness. While they say they
would not permit the trial Of a surrcn-
dered person for any offences except such as
are expressly mentioned in the extradtion
treaty. they propose that when he has been
surrendered upon primd fdcie proof of one
crime he may be tried for another and per-
haps wholly different crime not mentioned
at all in the demand for extradtion, pro-
videi, however. it be one Of the several
offences specified in the treaty with the
Government to which he has been given up.
In some respects this doctrine is not so
pernicious as that which was advocated by
Mr.. FISH. but it is sufficiently bad to merit
condemnation. Heretofore it has been the
theory Of the law that a man should not be
| forcibly taken ont of one country to be
tried in another except upon proof that
| he was probably guilty of the crime
| for which he was to be tried. Tho
| proposed change dispenscs with the neccs-
sity Of such preliminary proof, except as to
one accusation. This is a dangerous relax
| alton of the old rule. II is satisfactory tn
note that one member Of the commission
dssented, and the report Of the majority is
likely to meet with vigorous opposition in
the House OF Commons.

WooD was then the chief. issued IN order to
the commandment OF the Boston Navy Yard
TO deliver certain materials on he Thdrf to
w. H. GARDNER of Providence and JOHN
Roach Of New York, under prefer cc that
they were old and worthless.
Chief Engineer KING shows in his report
that new boilers, new shafting for screw
propclers, new copper pipes, new valves
and cocks, now boiler tubes. and II variety of
valuable materials actually needed for the
navy and in the best condition, were sold
for n mere triilc to GARDNER and ROACH;
and the department. at cost Of more than
three thousand dollars, took down l5-ton
steam hammer, with boilers, furnaces.
cranes, and all appliances, and delivered the
whole On the wharf" as the oricr Of WOOD
prescribed, for the benefit of these favored
purchasers. At the three navy yards OF
Portsmouth, Boston, and New York, thirty
ner boilers, which had cost SG23 026S0, were
sold for S2s 2lj5i as old material, and some
of these very boilers were again sold to the
department in ships to which they were
fitted at the full market price of thirty
cents II poundl
The other bureaus in which contracts
were made, or open purchases were ordered
on any large scale. exhibit the same system
of plumber. The department was run to
grab the most possible for the Rings, in
which SEcoR Robson had an interest, and
from first to last tho same names and the
same contractors figure conspicuously.
JoHN Roach concealed some Of his dealings
under the disguise Of companies holding
patents and other monopolics for which
enormous sums were paid. But, stripped
of these thin coverings it Is found that the
original parties, who allied themselves with
robson in the different branches of tho
naval service. were continued To the end,

How Near We stand TO the Precipice.

At first, when the idea Of making GRANT
President for life Ia preached, it ia rejected.
"oh, No." people say, "there Is no danger
OF that. The attachment of the masses to
our free institutions will prevent any radi-
cal change in them"
II cannot be denied that the manner In
which the volunteers rushed to the defence
OF the Government when the rebellion broke
out showed an unlimited amount OF patriot
ism in the American people. But in some
important respects things have greatly
changed since then The foundation stone Of
our Government has been shaken. and tenn
porariiy set aside. For the first time we hare
a President Of the United States not elected dc-
cording 10 The Constitution.
II the Constitution can be set aside to
make a President for four years. it can be
eet aside TO make a President for twenty
years, or for life.
Inasmuch as the provision for electng
President for four years has already been
disregarded, and the people submit to it
with alarming apathy. we are in much
greater danger OF another disregard OF the
requirements of the Constitution in elccting
President than is supposed. We stand
nearer the precipce than is commonly be-
lieved. HAYES. weak, vacillating, common
place man, was made President by fraud
and by trade; and who shall say there is
no danger OF the hero and despot, GRANT,
mounting into HAYEs's place and remaining
there for life

No honest American who wishes to know
the truth about the Presidential election Of 1876
should fail to read the sworn statement Of EMIL
l.. WEBER. printed this morning. Mr. WEBER
is the brother Of the Yves, Feliciana Supervisor
who was killed. He had been an active and
influential Republican Tor years. He had the
confidence Of the Louisiana Republican
leaders. He was in position 10 know
all that WIS done. and why and how Il
was done. To all appearance. he now makes
a clean breast, and his story Is one OF the most
startling contributions lately made to political
history. II confirms the worst that has been
charged or suspected about tho methods by
which the people of Louisiana. and with them
the people Of the United States. were defrauded
out Of their choice and out of their Government
by band OF desperate and INSCRIPTIONS con-
spirators. 1t should be read and dgested by
every American citizen.
Aside from its value MS proof Of the great
Fraud. this statement is interesting and i'm
portant in its corroboratons Of ANDERSON 5 tes-
timony. WEBER swears that he was told by his
brother and py ANDuRsoN that the Democrats
had carried the Telicianns fairly. H. swears
that he personally knew Of what is called the

he saw ANDERSON sign his protest. that

him JoHN SHERMAN's letter the day he received
it, saying that it came directly from the writer
he was familiar with SHERMAN's handwriting
and was satisfied the letter was genuine. II,
swears that he and his brothers widow were
mortified that such a letter should have bocr
