Neville, district attoi ney in the judi
cial district embracing Marion cuun
ty, with Him Yesterday, aud Mr.. New
lille is to day ON the battle ground, ant

Regarding the question OF extra
ditiWn the Governor sail "If Cover
nor Taylor holds the view that a maj
cannot he extradIted for Il misde.
mealor he is mistaken; the settled
doctrine of the courts in the cOnStruc,
ton of both the constitution aud the
law in extradition is 80 comprchcn.
sive as to embrace any crime or statu-
tory offence" The Governor Says the
remedy for cxtradion is designed to
serve purposes of public justice in
which every Stale in the Umnn has a
common interest. 1t is true that some
discretion should be exercised both by
the demanding and surrendcring
Governors, and in the instance Of
these sluggers the punishment is a
thousand dollars fine and a years Inn
prisonmenl. If II was a frivolous Of
pensc, punished by Il little finc or a
few days Imprisonment, AMI appIica-
ton for surrender might be denied,
but when Il statutory offen>e affects
public morals and is
SHOCKING TO HUMANITY
there are but few Governors who
would decline TO surrender the Grim
inals who have outraged dncency and
defied the laws Of a State is SO fiagrant
a manner.
"fhc great States of Massachusetts
and New York viii M doubt surren-
der the sluggers. Advanced civill-
cation and a proper appreciation of
the comfy between the States demand
concert of action upon the part of
their respective Governors.
"Aftcr the surrender of the fugi-
tive violatOrs of the law Is a matter
for discretion by the chief magistrate
of State, and when he issues his cx-
ccutive warrant and directs the de-
livery of Il criminal to an agent APP
pointed to receive him l am not aware
of any law that would declare that
warrant VOID and Of no effect.
during The past seven years | have
issued a great many warrants where
was simply a statutory oftensc, aud |
am a ware OF no authority, nor The in
depreciation Of any court, that denies
or questions the right"
The District Attorney, after visiting
the Governor yesterday, left at once
for Marion county, the scene of the
fight, and while the statement is not
authorized, your correspondent is war;
ranied In saying that prosecutions will
be at one bun against Charles Rich
aud other Mi~issippians, if is shown
that they aided aud abettrd the slug
gers in having The fight rOme off.
Touching superintendent BoLd's
statement in reference 10 the Cover
nor's avOwal of his intention TO annul
it possible the charter of tho North
eastern Railroad Com )ant for the part
it played as aidcrs aud abrttnrs in the
eight, wherein Mr.. Bond said that
"tle road was a common carrier ana
could moi refuse transportation, etc,
to any one, aud that the road acted
under legal advice, knew what il was
etc, when ii agreed TO handle
the crowd" Governor Lowry said
sir, l have and am gratIied to
know that the great system has such
a frank representative. Mr.. Bond
like a man. thrust he will make
little statement under oath when
upon. Mr.. Bond
MAKES LIGHT OF THE PROPOSITION

lefy the laws thereof, until it received
egal advice. So the issue Is made up
md there can be no misunderstanding
the parties. One of two
hings must prevail, to-wit: Tho pco-
Die who have a constitution and la Tvs,
made by themselves for their own
government, must control their affairs
without interference, or they are sub
cot TO have their laws brought into
contempt and disregarled by The cor
