We thick that the Superior Court might be better em ployed than listening to such nonsense. Commoa Beate Wanted In Coa|rt?? It is a marvel that some member of the democratic majority does not see the exact position of the Blaine business. The ex Speaker has done three things. First, he has tampered with a witness of the House under subpoena, endeavored to destroy his evidenoe and send him out of the country. Second, he has taken from the possession of a witness under the subpcena of the House documentary evidence, which is the prop irty of the House if there is any virtue in tts process. Third, he has trifled with Ihis evidenoe by reading what purported to be a oopy of it to the House, without per mitting any competent agent of the House to verify it When a member puts himself in thin position clearly the dignity and au thority of the House demand that he be summoned to its bar to answer for con tempt. Yet Mr. Blaine throws the commit tee upon the defensive, bullies poor Planta tion Knott until he begins to talk about pis tols in the lobby, and leads the country to believe that he is the victim of a Confeder ate conspiracy. The more we think of the recent proceedings in the House the more ire are astonished at the audacity of Mr. Blaine and the folly and ignorance of the democratic members. If Plantation Knott, Instead of gasconading about the lobbies, swearing at Blaine and threatening to shoot somebody, were to rise to a question of privilege and call the attention of the House to the fart that a member had ocmmitted an sot of gross contempt, it would require more genius than even Blaine possesses to explain it away. Blaine's whole course in this mat ter is a gross oontempt of the House, and if the democratic members had not lost their head they would make him purge himself. The case is as clear as noonday, and we are amazed that the democrats do not see it.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasbixotow, Jan* 14, 1876. OUR BXTBADITIO* TREATY?THB DITrEBlRT YTEWS or SECRETARY FISH AMD LORD DERBY?TBI FORM KB SUSTAINED BT TUB COURSB OF DENMARK AND BELGIUM. From tbo correspondence lately published In the Winslow case It appears that Lord Derby claims that tbo principle contained In the British act or 1870?vix., tbat a criminal (ball be tried for no offence in the country to which bo Is delirerod up other than tbe particular extradition crime I or which be was sur rendered, Is tbs proper and accopted nil* oa tbo question. Mr. Fish, however, baa In sisted that such was not tbe proper or the general rule, but that tbo limitation should bo tbat a surrendered criminal isbould bo tried for no offonre other than one of tho extradition crime* named In the treaty. Lord Derby referred to the fact that many countries had negotiated treaties wltb Great Britain under the set of 1870, as evidence tbat tbe British rule had been adopted, and among tbem Denmark and Belgium. As Great Britain had bound herself by the act ol 1870 these countries appear to have made treaties tbereundor, but la support of Mr. Fish's view It ap pears that some week* since when Belglu-n snd Den mark came to negotiate an extradition treaty between themselves, Ireo from the English act, they adopted tbo rule which Mr. Fish baa laid down. In a treaty of extradition between Denmark and Belgium, signed March 26, 1870, tbe following is a translation of tbe article:? Bo cannot moreover be prosecuted or condemned for any of the crime* committed previously to the extra dition which are not provided lor In th? present Con vention unless, after having been punished lor or ae quittcd of tbo crime or offenoe which has served as tbe ground of the extradition, he has neglected to leave the nonotry before tbe expiration of one monlb, or has returned thore again. THB C HA ROM AOAINST J. A. BRIDOBLAND, COJfBUL AT HAVRE?A SINGULAR FEATURE IN THE CASE. At the session to-day of the Committee on Expendi ture* ot the 3late Department tbe case of J. A.

It seems that Moore mado those charges several years ago, when Bridgeland was a supervisor of Interna revenue tn Toxas, and tbey were weighty enough to get the attention of the Grand Jury, although tbey wore eventually dismissed. Tbe chief charge was that be procured the sum of $"S0 from one of the enllectora of Internal revenue in bis dis trict upon tho collateral of bla government pay, when, a* It turned out and as Moore charges, he had already drawn bis pay.
