| advancement Of tho cause Of temperance. If
overy influence could be removed and you
could secure an unbiased expression from the
inward man, oven when he is so persevoringly
persistent in his opposition, you would surely
be surprised OF his sentiments. We desist
comment upon the motives of non.profossors
of religion in opposing the temperance cause,
but as members Of tho church, it seema, can
have no rash motives, we hope that they will
DO persistent in their opposition, whether they
regard it oxpediont to adopt now rulos for
that purpose or not.
Refreshing showers of rain lust week.

The Springfield Republican, of Thursday
last, says: ".rhe case of II. II. Kimpton,
lat financial agent of South Carolina, oonl
tnues iu statu quo. The postponoment of
the hearing upon tho law points connected
with Governor Hampton's rcguisition
which is to bo held before Attorney Gene
raj Train at Boston next Tuesday, was upon
the express condition that he should not be
released on bail. The laws of Massaohu-
setts bearing upon the subject aro very
definite ia requiring evidence that the
person wanted is criminal. They provide
that no person shall be given up unless the
application is accompanied by sworn evil
dence that the party charged is fugitive
from justice, and by duly attcsted copy Of
an indictment--or complaint made before
court or magistrate authorized to receive
it. The first affidavit sent on from South
Carolina with the reguisition papers simply
| represented that Kimpton was fugitive
from justice. But in similar cases that
have arisen it has been held that it must be
shown that the fugitive escaped through no
neglect Of the State from which he fled to
prosecute and convict him before he had an
opportunity to do so. A second affidavit
has accordingly been sent on from South
Carolina to tho effect that Kimpton fed
from tho State before the discovery of the
bribery Of which it is alleged he is guilty.
It is admitted that Kimpton has beou
legally indicted in South Carolina for that
orime. The Massachusetts, statute requires
the Attorney General to report to the
Governor not only upon tho legality, but
also the expedienoy of surrendering the
person demanded. If, therefore, Mr.
Kimpton's counsel make it appear, as they
will endeavor to, that he has not been
indicted in good faith, but is wanted as O
witness in other cases, it is hold that tic
Attorney General can legally report it il
inexpedient to deliver him up to the South
Carolina officers.
