OBIT THE LAW, It is not easy to see how Governor Pennypackcr will be able to refuse the requisition of the Governor of Delaware, for the person of a negro accused of a heinous crime in the neighboring state. He has the right to insist on regularity in the form of the demand, but that established, it would appear to us that there is no alternative. The subsequent peril of the prisoner has nothing to do with the case, though it would appear to be discourteous, to say the least, to imply that the Republican Governor of Delaware is not able to fulfill his obligations. Article Section 2, paragraph 2 of the Federal constitution, provides: "A person charged in any State with treason, felony or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and he found in an community is of the generous type.

"What struck me as peculiarly interesting regarding money in the Orient," said General Corbin, "was the fact that our gold certificates passed everywhere and in every country.

The little money changing shops would take a $50 certificate and count out 100 Mexicans without a word, and we never got a counterfeit while there. Now, with our gold eagles it was different. They would test it and scrutinize it and jingle it as if they were afraid."
