It may be so-is 80, practically, but is not so officially-that is, according to the rules of international law. But this aside, Senhor Souza as serts that the evils complained of lia without its jurisdiction. We are curious to learn by what obliquity of reasoning the Governor arrives at this satisfactory conclusion.
