ACTED WISELY.
Those who read Governor Ireland's letter
| to Senators Maxey and Coke, upon tue
treaty OF 1861, between the United etes
| government and that OF Mexico, which was
published yesterday by this journal, can
| realize tho difficulties which are encounter
ed In bringing 70 punishment ,hose m
gagged in such nefsrivus work as that OF de-
railing and robbing tho train on the Next
can Central railway some three weeks since:
| Goyernor Ireland has done Wisely to call
attention TO the United Sta'es government
to that part of the sixth article in the treaty
OF 1861, which he CONSTITUTES to mean that
neither government under my circum-
stances, will surrender her own suspected
or guilty citizens to the other. Governor
Ireland thinks that the states should have
discretionary power in the premises in pre-
noting the public veal; aud 10 that end he
thinks q conference or discussion between
the governments should be had. The rob
pery of the train alluded to occurred in
Mexico and citizens OF both governments
were engaged in it.-[5an Antonio Ex-
