SOUTH CAROLINA AND MAssACHUsETTs-
There is now no doubt that when the Demo-
crats allowed Hayes to be counted in as Pres-
dent it was upon the understanding that
Hampton and Nichols we're not to be disturb
ed in their positions as Governors respectively
Of South Carolina and Louisiana. On their
part they agreed that there should be no pro-
sec1tions for "purely political" offenses. They
criminal tffsnses committed by politicians
They have faithfully adhered to their pro-
uises, but have allowed the law to take it's
course with reference to those politicians who
used their official places for purposes of whole
sale robbery. Especially has this been the
case in South Carolina where g number of in
famous thieves have been convicted by juries
composed partly of negroes and others of their
own political faith II. n. Kimptop, one of the
biggest thieves of the lot, has been indicted,
but is now in the State of Massach b usetts. Ao
cording to Law Gov. Hampton issued q reg oisi-
tion on Gov. Rice for the stfrerder of Kim pton.
The latter refQse1 % honor rhs requisition
stating that he did not believe that Kimpton
was TO be prosecuted for stealing but would be
pereecuted for his political acts.
Gov. Hampton has sent Gov. Rice an answer
from which the folio wing ia m extract:
Il regret that the Chief Executive of the
great State of Massac hus,tts should have COM
mitted so fa9rant violation of the supreme
law of th g land a violation irreparsble in it's
nature, as the State suffering thereby has no
possible redress. Had you COR fined yourself to
giving simple refusal to surrender the fugitive
should make no fur t her comments upon your
letter, as the disregard by the executive su-
thoIity of one st ate concerns the whole people
of the United states but iDasmuch as you have
seen fit to base yonr action the grounds
that in your dgment the objec in procuring
Indictment against Patterson, Parker and
Kimpton, does not appear to be for the purpc Sc
of trying Klmpton for the crime charged
against him, bot for different purpose, it is
my duty as Governor of South Carolina to add
that your statement is entirely unwarrapt ted,
and t. repel the unworthy impatation as 1 do
with indignant scorn."
THE INDIANS Col. Miles telegraphs Gen.
Sheridan: Six Indians from Sitting Bull ar
his people will be permitted to surrender. Gen.
Sheridan replied he was not especially anxious
about the Indians who went north coming
back, but if they do come the terms must be
surrender.
