its smile, and, I tell you, fellow. citizens,

do succeed and provide the remedy for

iitS Exdeaendy, "dde Hampton, Gorer-
nor, Columbia, s. C.
SIR received, on Saturday last, an
extraordinary official communication,
addressed TO me over your signature, the
contents Of which / had read In the
newspapers three days before. I beg to
remind your Excellency that any at
tempted rebuke Of Massachusetts, by
South Carolina for observance of
constitutional or statutory obligations ia
refinement of sarcasm, which renders
any other defense Of the former State
unnecessary. Tho treatment Of the case
q Hiram II. Kimpton by the authori.
ties of this Commonwealth was uninflu-
enced by any personal or political con.
slderations. Massachusetts, had M quar-
rel with South Carolina and no friendship
for Kimpton, but was bound to extend to
each their respective righta under the
laws: Every courtesy, official and per.
sonal, was extended to the representa-
tives of South Carolina. Unusual caro-
was bestowed upon their investigation
and consideration Of the case, and its
decision was reached upon grounds of
perfect impartiality, in accordance wieh
law and facts and with convictions of
public duty. In communicating this
decision to your Excelency, my state
ment that the object of the requisition
did not appear to be for the purpose of
trying Kimpton for crime charged against
him, but for n different purpose, was
simply recital Of fact contained in the
report of the Attorney General, a copy
of which was furnished with my letter
to you, and in his opinion and mine
clearly established by evidence. Your
Excellency's letter requires no argument
in reply. 1t is sufficient to say that it
contains statements to mislead the pub
lie, where facts are unknown. It's Ian.
guage and untimely publication are
offensive and unjusti6abe. 1 decline to
accept it or permit it placed upon the
files of the Executive Department of
this Commonwealth. II is herewith re-
turned. Your obedient servant,
ALEXANDER II. RICE,
Governor,
