TERsoN.-If the authorities Of the
State of South Carolina are as wise as
We think they are they will lot Senator
Patterson alone. He has only one more
session to serve, and then he will be-

anything to render him liable to the
laws Of the State that he represents it
will then be time to prosecute him, and
it will then be impossible for him to
claim the privileges of his seat in the
Senate as a bar to justice. But if he
is pushed now he will have the sympa-

some selfish ends.-NorM american

denied on the ground that the State Of
South Carolina, in procuring the in-
dictmeat of Kimptou, had purpose
different from that Of bringing him to
trial. This is altogether new ground,
and was not taken by Kiuptou's couu-
sci in their argument. Oa the receipt
Of tho telegram from Boston stating that
the Governor would refuse to surrender
Kimpton, the latter was discharged by
the police court of Springfield, by
