The Subject Of Extradifisn.
WASHINGTON, May 5th.-The dispsteh
from I.oDdo,s stating that the State Depart.
ment had, unsolicited, offarsd 10 test by state
or national law the possibility of bringing
charges of conspiracy against some of the
dynamite plotters, has made some talk here.
but it is generally regarded as . roorback.
Even conspiracy against the Ubited States
Government, unaccompanied by any overt
act, would not be an tffanse against cur laws
and, 30 far as the public is aware, the only
overt act committed by the dynamite plotsers
in this country is that Of embarkipg on
British steamers for Eaalaa6. The collector

not deemed very probable. There is ore. as
pect of the matter which has NOT received
much attention. In order TO secure the Ge

States Government insisted on rules for the
conduct Of neutral which were more strin-
gent than those which had previously been
generally recognized. After several years of
negotiation this Government induced Eng
land to assent to the famous three rules, and
to pay heavy fine fer having ten Yesrs ago
violated them. These rules have no bearing
on the pending questions, but pertinent
fact is that the Government has insisted on

England perhaps thinks she has the right to
demand more of the United States than it
had before the treaty of Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 5.h.-Quite flurrywas
created near the close of business in the Post
Office Department by tie discovery that, by
an error in the postal regulation bill passed
by CoDgress last session, the adjustment of
the salaries of postmasters during the past
two months ia entirely erroneous. 1t is stated
by an official of the department. that the
amendment made to the law requiring re-
duction from three to two cents per ha,f
ounce on frst.cisss matter cid not take into
account fourth.clsss offices. but applied only
to the first th. ee grades. Nearly %, 600 post
masters Of the fourth class will be affected by
the Law if it is as is reported 20 be, for goes
into effect from the date of its passage.
Should this hold good, thousands of fourth
class pr stoficss uld continue their sales of
three-cent stamp, showing decided increase,
and be made Presidential offices till October
l. 1883, when their receipts would be lessened
by the operation of the reduced postage law.
1t is alleged that the error was made in print.
ing the bill, and the original will be hunted
up tomorrow among the files. Should the
error prove true, all work done in making 81.
lowances to possmasters since Congress ad.
j7urned would have to be reviewed, and con-
siderable time would thus be wasted.
