Si FOR PRESIDENT ! ; THOMAS PRAMS BAYARD. Bubjeot to the Decision of the St. Louis Convention. PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR*. When the sun has warmed the air, and imparted the gentle feeling of spring to all nature, the beggar brigade marches forth from their hiding places, and make the housekeeper and servant girl the special objects to whom their supplications are bent. Where they come from is a mystery to all. What they do for nourishment dur ing the winter, is a matter of conjecture, and how long they have practiced that "Please 'givn mesuthin t'eat," excites the wonder of the donor. It is reasonable to suppose that like lite great South Ameri- j can serpent they lay iu enough at a meal lo keep away the welf for sometime. And it is thought the professional beggar when the torpor of numbing winter has left tlic marrow of his bones, 'and he has basked into life again in the warm sunshine of spriug and summer, comes forth like the beast from his hole ready for another foraging expedition. He is the same this summer as he was last. Time does not „ seem to have worn any deeper furrows „ seem to have worn any deeper furrows upon his brow, and his supplications have not increased in softness of musical effect a particle. He lias improved only in one respect, and in that respect wonderfully; he has at least.five more children to snp port than he did the last time he asked you for "cold wittles," and to further his own troubles and increase the wonder of the auditor, his wife is dead, and the poor little ones are orphans. The story differs somewhat in the number of children to what it did the last time, anil the wifeless man with an addition of four or five to his progeny in one year, is loaded down with what would otherwise haw "one into the garbage box or made housewife an elegant savory diet, which some give the name of hash and others, to make it tive, call mystery. It is all good enough for the professional beggar. He is not choice ; lie will take anything that is offered. It is policy to do so, for he knows too wcdl from rienee that the old saying : should not he chosers" is very applicable to his own case, and it is in the spirit af "small favors thankfully received," that he expects to gain his highest rewards. He Aistson hope as much as he does on cold potatoes and tough, stringy pieces of beef that the choice tooth has failed to ture; and should good fortune cast a few stamps in his way, a luxury in the form •f a liquid to take the cobwebs from his throat is partaken of. As a general thing the professional beggar is economical; lie is like the farmer, lie makes the work of the warm weather take care of him during the cold, and when lie asks for a comfort greater than lie cun get at the back gates of fashionable houses, he finds his death quietly, and leaves behind him a musty old blue stocking crammed with hank notes and coin. He is seldom seen in winter, and only makes his appearance after the stock of provisions fo 1 in in the winter has been exhausted and necessity compels him to make a tour of tho hack gates through the redoubts of ash heaps and garbage barrels, when " Pleas'um, gira'e Ruthin for fifteen starving children,'' becomes a familiar sound to the dowdy s.rvant girl with her head done sweeping cap • and her dress looped with a view to comfort than taste. Take care of the cold pieces, as he is already about. a saving dish of (hat more sugges expe ' Beggar* punc stances he could da no more, audit la not tip in a more Tn« Secretary of the Navy, has been drawn out at last. The charges ln the tes timony ware too damaging to he disregard ed by him, and tie lias asked a hearing at earliest opportunity. Under the circum such an honest effort to vindicate himself as the Republican Journal* would lead one to suppose for it Is Uttorally forced upon bins eft THI WINUOW EXniNTIOI CASE. The grounds that the British Ministers assumed in refusing to surrender the for ger Winslow, are gradually being aband oned by them as untenable. These grounds are that the act of Parliament of 1870 imposes conditions subsequent to the Extradition Treaty of 1842. The modified position now assumed, says the Philadel hia Ledger, "is, that the treaty itself im plies that a fugitive surrendered for a specific crime shall be tried for that crime only. Then why not let the implied obli gation rest upon the implied responsibility of the Government to which the fugitive is surrendered? The attempt to exact an express stipulation upon a constructive implication is in no degree more tenable than the ground first assumed and now apparently abandoned. The fact is the ministry lia9 erred throughout this whole controversy in trying to subject a treaty between two powers to an ex poet facto law of one of them. There is a reason in the request that a fugitive surrendered upon one charge shall not be tried upon another. That practice might lead to political op pression. But the method adopted by the British Ministry to bring about the modi fied praetice is a bad one. Modification of the treaty ia the right courae, and fail ing of sticces* in that, notice of the termi nation of the extradition clause should be tbo next step. In the meantime there is no reason to believe that the American will make any concessions. The reply of Lord Derby has been considered in the Cabinet and well deliberated, after which it has been determined to adhere to the American view' of the matter. Informa tion from Washington stales that the Secretary will this week send government ous the ol ted an answer the English note, in which the Ameri "jn ease will he reaffirmed, and then it is j h j "jn ease will he reaffirmed, and then it is j the intention to transmit the entire cur respondeuce to Congress for that body to take such action as it may deem proper. It is gratifying to know that the Foreign Committee of both houses approve what has been dune by the Administration in Ibis matter, so that Congress and the E ecimve will probably be in whatever final action may he taken. 1 England there is evidence of a decided difference of opinion in reference to the stand taken by Lord Derby in the case ; hut no disposition is shown hv the author ities in either country to imperil friendly relations on account of this dispute. X acoord in n GRANT ANIt THE t VUKKONK At first there,were- some misgivings that J. Donald Cameron would accept the pos ition tendered him in the Cabinet by the President. But positions of that kind are not to be picked up every day, and the lluential Pennrylvania politician has u, Id out the Republican vote of his State to fe'onklin«,aad accepted the position. This is a remarkable illustration of circumstan ces altering cases. Grant ) n The Camerons and were enemies. The old man re garded Grant as a stupid blockhead and Grant regarded the old man as a fool, and not a statesman. But in the fight against Blaine, the President had to pick his thun der from the sources that would prove most effective, whether tasteful to himself not, and in the choice of Cameron, lie ele vated one who .had or never forgiven him for his long indifferenence to the frienship 0 f a State that almost of itself made hi President for the second term. At the eleventh hour, the President sees his mis tak«, and that it will destroy any political ends that he may wish to therefore when he finds himself burning desire for hands with old enemies to m servo, and it is nursing a nge, that lie clasp consumatestliat aching wish. In his great scheme to de feat Blaine, Pennsylvania is one of his greatest strongholds, and with Ohio and New York added to it, the combination i formed, that must win in the Cincinnati Convention. revc is Grant Inis strong prejudices hut they .ire of that kind that will bend to strike higher, and humble themselves be fore those lower in his revengeful pur poses. Thus it is that the Camerons and Grant have shaken hands, and smoked the pipe of peace, that h is sold out the Re publican party in Pennsylvania to Grant and Conk ling. Thk construction that the Nev BtrM suits upon tlic reesnt event In politi cal circles, in Washington, i, compares Grant wit 1 1 Jackson, and says tite President,, like old Hickory, has found it. necessary to reform liis cabinet, is the reform! Pierrepont goes to Euglaud as Minister to St. Janies. If lie was unfit to lie in the cabinet and the President could not throw him overboard, it is a very poor reform to put him into an office that Schcnok disgraced. The reform certainly was not intended even if there has been any, for .Judge Taft, who took the place of the natorious Belknap, lias been elevated to the vacated by Pierrepont, and J. Donald Cameron takes the position made vacant by the promotion of Judge Taft. If the change* were made to bring about York aniufiing. It, But where our a regeneration o( I the cabinet we think it has been very poorly j done, for two of them have ascended a I grade higher. * /tsXS&H.,-. '"'fUkittfii The dookeeper, Fitzhugh, hu sloped, or io other word* vacated the office that Con gress has been trying to force him out of, and has thereby saved them that trouble. "Fitzy," as the facetious members were disposed to call him by way af abraviation and pleasant familiarity,felt the Inglorious means that had compelled him either to leave or be bounced with considerable re sentment, and when he did conclude to go, which was on Tuesday, took with him valu able papers and records, which it is said, if exposed, will cause the lightning to strike on both sides of the House. If such is really the ease, then we regard Mr. Fitzhugh, al though a thief for taking that which did not belong to him, as a proper custodian of the documents. It is well to know the dishonest men of any party, that they may be avoided, and the sooner the electric cur rent finds conductors the better it will be for both the government and the people. for of the a Morten the saddest of All. A Washington correspondent writes:— Mr. Blaine will he able to attend the meet ing of the sub-Judiciary Committee to-mor row, when the examination of witnesses in regard to the Fort Smith and Little Rock Railroad bonds will be continued. The friends of Mr. Blaine are not despondent over the action of the Administration in giving its influence ferConkling, and assert that it will have the contrary effect to what was intended by the eriginators of the coup d'etat. The saddest, of the Presidential candidates is Senator Morton. His face shows unmistakable evidences of disgust, and his long and bitter fight for the Admin Iseration in the Senate yields no other ward than the bloody shirt which still waves over the seat of the Senator from Indiana. re Indiana. ten flag-ration or a Market Basket. A queer accident is thus described by the Reading (Penu.) Timet "The wife of a farmer resident near Alburtis the other day was ou her way to one of the stores in Mitl erstownwith a lotoi furrn products—butter, eggs, <fcc., the whole bundled up in ous cloths. A live coal from an engine on the East Pennsylvania Railroad, alongside ol the track ot which she was walking, was driven into her basket, and the linens igni ted unknown to her. She kept on her way, carrying the miniature conflagration with her until al last acraekling noise and a col umn of smoke rising from her side caused her to make an investigation, when to her horror part of the butter had melted from the heat and run out of the basket's bottom, while the eggs had cracked, and escaping from the shell actually linked under the act ion of the fireto which they were subjected. The woman after this loss retraced her steps homeward to repair damages as far as the. material left would permit. iminer j SLEDS CNOWF1,A K E POTATO O Ono of the earliest.
