rArrFRsoN's CASE.

| rArTERsON's CASE,
Judge Humphreys OF Our District SUI
preme Court, yesterday decided that
John Patterson, being a Senator from
South Carolina, and there beng fears
that he would not be fairly tried il re-
| turned to that State, should not be SUR
reudcd on IN. reQuisition OF Governor
Hampton. There may possibly be sense
| and law In tie Judges proposition mat
Senator Of the United states, while the
Senate Is in session and he is in attend
ancc. cannot be reached by state process.
But surely no man except, Judge Hum
phrcys would have gone into the qne''
ton whether or not the might've would !
receive a fair trial in the jurisdiction
from which hi: surrender came This
astonishing decision should be Inquired
into. The Judge is appointed by The
President and paid by the United states.

THE MESSAGE.
Aside irom lis treatment Of tie money
question the message OF Mr, Hayes sent
10 Congress on tic 4.h, is not one 10 re-
ceive enthusiastic praise, or decided con-
domination. rs treatment Of the South,
, crn question will be acceptable TO most

it will not bc. The short reference to
the administration civil service policy
shows that Sir. Hayes appreciates, in
part at least, the universal belief that his
attempts ia that direction were neither
sincere nor successful.
