Embez1lemont n Crime.

The London Daily News, in commenting
upon the case of Tully, tho defaulting
glish bank cashier, who is now held in
New York, pending decision as to whether
he can be sent back to England under tho
xisting extradition treaty or not, says it is
niBn timv tnoV vrrvoan,vu,O..- ~.-~-,~ ,---.s
an extraditable offense. There will be very
general concurrence in this opinion among
honest people in tho United States. The
treaty needs revision in several particulars,
and certainly embezzlcment ought to be
included in the list of crimes for which o
fugitive from justice can be extrndted.
For the last two weeks the case of John G.
Emo has been pending before Canadian
judge, who, with all the light that learned
counsel can give him. is unable to make up
his mind whether to send the prisoner back
doubt that Emo embezzled very large sum
of money and that he ought to be punished
for this crime. But under tho existing
treaty the Canadian Judge cannot order him
to be extradited to answer charge OF en-
bezzlement. Hence an effort is being made
to procure an indictment for forgery,
now charge can be properly presented.
But this does not end the difficulty. II
the Canadian judge has any reason to
believe that the real purpose Of the New
York authorities is to try Emo for embezzle-
ment, after they get him into their juris-
diction, he will discharge him. A Canadian
court would have no difficulty in finding
abundant American authority for setting a
fugitive free when it is apparent that he is
to be tried for crime that is not mentioned
in the extradition treaty. 1t has been custom
airy on this side OF the line to 20 behind the
face ofthe papers. The crooked proceedings by
which the arrest Of Emo was procured were
we'll calculated to prejudice the Quebec judge
in his favor.
While the expediency Of adding embezzlc.
ment TO the list of extradtable crimes is
under consideration, IL might be we'll for
congress to inquire whether there is any
adequate provision for tho punishment of
embezzlement in the District of Columbia.
Under the act of 1873 it would be possi-
Bile to punish q bank officer or employe
who should appropriate the funds of the
bank to his own use, but we do not think
it would apply to private banker who appro-
priated the money Of depositor to his own use
or made way with securities that were in
trusted to him for safe.keeping. Itwould be
worry easy for congress to wipe out the whole
difficulty by passing an act declaring this form
OF embozalement to bo larceny and attaching
penalties that are now imposed for larceny.

BISHOP SIMPSON who went to his rest
yesterday, was one of the strong men of his
generation. He was n great preacher, and
if ho had not been wrapped up in his cccle-
sia5tical office he would have been n great
statesman. He was natural leader of men,
and his power asserted itself in every position
that he filed. President Lincoln frequently
sought his advice, and sometimes leaned upon
his strong arm when it became necessary to
make new appeal to the patriotism of the
cou try. He was also one of Gen. Grants wise
cou 'ors. In the Methodist church he was
hemastor mi I'd, Ia his pulpit ministrations
he's d h rutl with judicial accuracy.
His sermons were plain, strong, and logical.
1t cannot bo claimed that he was great
orator for ho was deficient in imagination.
His lecture on Lincoln, which he delivered
in many cities, was a sincere and truthful
presentation ofthe character Of his martyred
friend, but it was disappointing in its sim
plicity. The Methodist church has more
eloquent preachers, but it has no one who
can adequately fill his place as sagacious
adviser in secular as well as in purely eccle.

THE chapter of Mr., Blaine's book published
in to.day's NATIONAL REPUBLICAN covers
an event In tho history of the war the i'm.
p1rtpnco Of which was scarcely appreciated
at tho time Of its occurrence. The country
was 80 absorbed in the movements Of great
armies--in battles, victories, and defeats
that civil events, no matter how great their
magnitude, made but little impression.
What citizen OF the United States outside of
West Virginia whose attention has not boon
specially directed to the matter could give
from memory an intelligent account
of the successive steps by which
that state was organized aud
admitted into the union? Mr., Blaine makes
most entertaining chapter Of history out of
this incident Of the war. There were grave
doubts among the strongest and wisest sup.
porters Of tho union as TO the proprioty of the
Acknowledgement OF cold Virginia." but timo
has abundantly vindicated the action of the
sturdy union mon of the western counties
who were determined to be citizens Of loyal
state. BIr. Blaine deals with tho creation Of
the now state, as far as the general govern
meat was concerned, as "a war measure,
justified by military necessity. The gov
ernment deprived Virginia of pOr-
tion Of her territory and to this
extent deprived her Of her power to
nay her debts. In view of this fact, Mr..
Blaine argues that IL would not bo inequit-
abgo for the government to assume the pay
