Stone's hands und he and 3IeXaIIy went over into South Carolina after their man. They found Blackwood at his h-.tnc and i brought him to Georgia. They say that ' he came with them of his owe accord, say- j ing that he would no? p-.:t tLern to^ tiie j trouble of getting requisition papers. This, j however, is denied. Blackwood is now condned in the Au j gusta jail, For some time past Governor j Richardson h::s been endeavoring to secure j his release, but, failing in that, he h ss now ; /- made requisition for Stone and McJSally. One peculiar feature of the ease is the fact that Stone is al>o under indictment i:: this State, and if the court in which the in- j w-r-, scpuml interferes. South i Carolina will probably haw to wait until j he is tried for the ilrsi rfflV-.-c. It is xiiti j that 3k0vnlh* i> ai-o under indictment for j sorae offense committed in Augusts. If | this is true, mailers arc likely to become j even more complicated.

Hearken to the old adage, "!. :i v.-oil eaough alone." and in matters of >:utc g^siow and never worry; Blackwood you. can't have, so what's the use of fuming and fretting and of getting in such a flurry'? Our Mexican Trade. The large and growing trade of Mexico ought to be controlled by the United States. Commercial intercourse between the two countries lies been hitherto hindered by a Mexican tariff which practically excluded t.hosa articles which ih<; U "ited States could best have supplied. There was no benefit to Mexico from this tariff. I: did not protect any considerable- home industries, and it was laid principally upon articles which are not now productd in Mexico. As no effort was made to supply the -ionic market with home manufactures, these taxes bore very heavily on the Mexican consumer. A new Mexican taniT schedule has been arranged to go into effect on the first of July. In the opinu n v.-' - arc most familiar with the condition and m e is o< Mexico, the new tariff will a ive a decided ? impetus to our trade wh a tLa c.:::mry. The Mexican reciprocity ir< ::;y now pending has for its object the e./.-.;j:i?ament of closer and more extensive commercial relations between the United Stales an:I Mexico. It has been ratified by the Senate, but the House has never pasv.-d the legislation necessary to its enforcement. There will not be so great a demand for this treaty now that Mexico has so revised h".r tariff as to accomplish, at least in pa-t, the ends aimed at in the treaty. Mmy o: the principal articles which our mercLa:.-.- and manufacturers would have exported to ? ?fc- Mexico if the treaty had been rat hied, will be found on the Mexican .Yee lis: after :he first of July. So far as 1: gees. the new ATpviVsn tariff is better for us than a recio rocity treat}* would be. It gr:a;ts us some very valuable privileges and exacts ia return no concessions on our part.?AiiajUG Constitution. Have tlic IJrltoiis Jlavkoii Dotvn? The Toronto, Canada, Globe,* referring to Lord Salisbury's proposition for a settlement oi tie fishery question, says: Lord Salisbury proposes an abject surrender to the Washington government, not a surrender oi anything belonging to the English or Great Britain, but the surrender of an immensely valuable properly belonging to the Britons oi Canada, and the surrender of every main contention hitherto upheld by the Canadian people. V- o pointed out the. other day that the issue between Canada and the Cnited States was such that one or the other must yield absolutely unless a general settlement evading that issue could be arrived at. One has been reached. It consists in giving everything to the "United States, and in disgracing and dishonoring the people of this country as they could never be ciisgracea and dishonored by manfully defending their rights to the poiai ox war. 'ihe offer oi the tory premier is cowardly, despicable and treacherous to Canada, and should it be ratilled by the dominion parliament it will never again be possible to assert rights to exclude American fishermen from our inshore waters. Conkling'* i*rofes?:ojial Success. There is something remarkable in the professional success which, has attended Mr. Conklmg since he was forced out of politics. As a general thing, the lawyer who is long in political life becomes a * lawyer only in name. Jie may pass lor one when among those not learned in the law, but among practitioners lie passes for a politician. The reason for this is obvious. The laws of Parliament or Congress are not the rules of Courts . or the decisions of the Justices, end only the natural lawyer follows the laicer after the necessity lor doing so lias passed. Conkling never abandoned the custom. \Viiiie :n puonc me lie pursued ii:s ; studies as diligently as when only a I struggling beginner, and the result was that he was not a generation behind the i age when lie resumed the practice of hio profession. Few Xew York lawyer make naif as much money as he, and it; is said that few savi: more than he has saved in recent years. A Scheme to Sob th? Govcrnmeir.. The Pacific Bailroad Commis-den Las ' hardly been organized b-i'ore the rum r is put out that the stoc'.hold r ; of the Union Pacific, one oi the companies to be investigated, will turn ov.r the main line, stripped of its branches and business, to the government for an elephant. The government will thus, it is assumed, . practically lose its debt, and the men who have swindled it will iurm a new transcontinental system out of the roads built, it is alleged, with Union 'Pacific funds, but not consolidated with the Union Pacific lino. The invest! ration now on foot will show whether the scheme will work. It may tarn the government will be ubie to truce its property and find itself entitled to control the branch lines. i'osterity vs. Auvf-.ty.

At a reception to John G. Carlisle, given by the Kentucky Democratic Club in Covington. Mr. Carlisle made a short speech, from which the following extract is taken:1 "I want to say to all Democrats that we would be unworthy of our name if we allowed any number of reverses to dishearten us. The growth of the Democratic party ! in the last *2o years has been wonderful. At the close of the war we were entirely out of power, we had no office or patron-' jj age, and were practically ostracised from a share in the air urs of the government.

It is impossible to enumerate ' the schemes to rob the taxpayers for the : benetit of somebody else. We must overcome the Socialistic theories abroad in the 1 land. We must stand everywhere for toe 1 rights of men to do business with their own j money in their own way.
