A BEF?UE FOB THIETES. Views of Leading Journals of both Partlos. From the Boston TransaytU Governor Rice refuses to surrender Kimpton, giving .only a. conclusion and carefully withholding the grounds for it ?stating only that the indictment found in South Carolina "does not appear to be for the purpose of trying Kimpton for the crime charged against him, but for a different purpose," and therefore with? holding, iu his discretion, a warrant for his rendition. In takhig this extraordi? nary course he gives no points, no sum? mary of evidence, and does not even in? dicate what that "different purpose" is. Two provisions of the national constitu? tion have been violated. Ono provides that "a person charged in any State with treason, felony or other crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall, on the demand of the execu? tive authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the same." Another provision declares "full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public acts, records and judicial proceed? ings of every other State." Our Execu? tive refuses to deliver up a person charged ?in another State with crime, and denies full faith and credit to the judicial pro? ceedings' of such State. The case is ag? gravated by the consideration that the party claimed is not a citizen of Massa? chusetts, but lately an agent of South Carolina. Whatever suspicious or irreg? ular action independent nations pursue towards each other, the States of this Union are bound to treat each other in this regard with the most absolute faith and confidence. Governor Bice's action is directly in the teeth of the judicial decisions. The Supreme Court of the United States, the final interpreter of the constitution, has solemnly held that the Governor's duty is not discretionary but merely 'ministerial, and that he has no right to look behind the papers presented to him. -(Kentucky" vs. Dennison, 24 Howard,.66,106.) The Supreme Court of New Jersey in the case of Voorhees, charged in 1869 with swindling and claimed by the Governor of New fiamp> shire, held the same way. (8 Vroom's Exports, 141.) We have a Governor who sets himself above the constitution and law as construed by the tribunals appoin? ted to construe ana declare them. Mas? sachusetts, for this violation of two pro? visions of the constitution and of good faith between States, will have to pay dearly. She will be paid in her own coin. The State of South Carolina will, in its discretion, bo tempted to refuse credit to the documents of a State which denies credit to hers, and the Ponds, Win&lows and Cbaces, as well as other critninlas, can id forty-eight hours reach an asylum which retaliation is most likely to provide. From the New York World. ^ Section 5,278 of the Bevised Statutes of the United States seems to be the law foreshadowed in the constitutional pro? vision : "Whenever the Executive authority of any State or Territory demands any per? son as t\ fugitive from justice of the Ex? ecutive authority of any State or Terri? tory'to which such person has fled, and produces a copy of an indictment found or an affidavit made before a magistrate of any State or Territory, charging the person demanded with having committed treason, felony .or other crime, certified as authentic by the Governor or Chief Magistrate of the State or Territory from whence tho person so charged has fled, it a'iall the duty of the Executive authority of the State or Territory to*rhich such person has fled to cause him to be arres? ted and secured, and to cause notice of the arrest to be given to the Executive authority making such demand, or to the agent of such authority, appointed to re? ceive the fugitive, and to cause the fugi? tive to be delivered to such agent when he shall appear." It is not claimed that the Executive authority of South Carolina failed in any way to comply with the terms of this law. sod, under the Federal constitution ana -statutes, it was the duty of the Governor of Massachusetts to surrender Kimpton. The fundamental law regulating the in? tercourse of the States denied him the privilege which Great Britain assumed in lefusing to surrender a fugitive under the extradition treaty. He could not ques? tion the good faith of South Carolina. It is hard to see how any State statute can make the extradition of a fugitive from justice a matter of discretion in the face of the law, as given above. To carry such a system of interstate relations to a logical conclusion would render the punishment of criminals in our commu? nity discretionary with the Executive authority of another, since communica? tion between the States is so easy that a fugitive with a few hours' start would be certain to escape. State comity would be at an end, State borders would have o be guarded and our various common? wealths would be to each ether like for? eign nations. If Governor Bice in an * over-zealous anxiety for the preservation of State rights had merely asserted that the surrender of Kimpton was a matter ?discretionary with himself, and then in the interest of justice remanded the pris? oner to South Carolina for trial, we might nave admired him as a conscientious out wrongheaded theorist But when the assertion of the right to exercise his dis? cretion is followed by the liberation of the- knave, we must regard him as the willing friend of a malefactor, the ally of the plunderers of a sister State, the ac? cessory after the fact of the worst knave? ries of the carpet-bag governments. So far as the future relation of the States is concerned, the main question is whether the attitude of Massachusetts is constitu? tional. So far as Governor Bice is con? cerned, iv, is no matter whether he had discretion or whether he believed he bad discretion, since he is accountable for the use which ho made of the discretion he assumes to have. The revelation of his prejudices would not have been more starling if he had refused to recognize Wade Hampton as Governor 'of South Carolina and handed Kimpton over to his counsel, Chamberlain, on the ground that that gentleman was the de jure Ex? ecutive of the prostrate State. From the Boston Herald, Ind. The decision of Governor Rice refusing a warrant for the rendition of Hiram H. Kimpton on a requisition from Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, is based on the assumption Kimpton was not to be tried for the crime charged against him. That would appear to be a question for the South Carolina courts, and not for our Governor, to settle. We fear that if the case were reversed, and Massachu? setts wanted a criminal from South Car? olina under similar circumstances, a re? fusal would cause a bowl of the most woful character, and.it would be pointed out to us by the "stalwart" slang-whang era that the laws of the land were wilfully trampled under foot by the bloodthirsty enemies of the flag, who only remain in the republic to rule and ruin it. :. From the Boston Traveller, Rep. The refusal of Governor Bice to deliv? er H. H. Kimpton into the hands of Wade Hampton's officers will meet the approbation of every right-minded man. The slender nature of the claim for this "fugitive" is exposed in the fact that Hampton's legion has offered him immu? nity in case he would turn State's evi? dence. The requisition is simply de? signed to give the rebels a fresh opportu? nity to "make it hot" for every man who does not support the domination of Wade Hampton. That is the whole foundation of the case, and they don't want Kimpton lor a criminal prosecution. Governor Rice and the Attorney General have wisely fathomed this new rebel conspira? cy. From the Boston Advertiser, Rep. Unquestionably Governor Bice has in this matter acted upon a strict considera? tion of bis duties under the law; but it would not be strange if in some quarters a political significance should be attribu? ted to bis action. It is certainly desira? ble that Attorney General Train's opinion should be made public in order that the reasoning upon which this judgment and decision is based may be km<wn But it is already known that the authorities of South Carolina, by their own action, have furnished the grounds for the suspicion that they-wanted Kimpton not as a crim? inal but as a witness. From the Boston Globe, Dem. In his action in the case of Kimpton, Governor Rice stands as the defender and shield of the criminal. We do not see how his action can be defended upon any other grounds. It appears to be a strain? ing of executive clemency to withhold Kimpton from the authorities who have a just claim upon him for trial npon the charges which they have preferred. From the Augusta Chronicle. Of course, Governor Hampton cannot bring the criminal to justice so long as he remains within the jurisdiction of the State of Massachusetts. The constitution declares the law, but provides no remedy for a violation of its provisions. But if Governor Hampton is unable to get tbe body of Kimpton whih it remains in this New England Aisatis, he can and should adopt measnrea of retaliation. * * * Governor Hampton should cause it to be known that unless Kimpton is given up, no requisition of the Govern :>r of Massa? chusetts for the surrender of malefactors will be honored by the government of South Carolina; that he will exercise the same "discretionary power" in such mat? ters as was exercised by Governor Rice to protect Massachusetts rogues who may seek shelter in tbe State. This is what Governor Hampton should do. THE PROPOSALS TO KIMPTON. Fifteen Pays' Gracn?Amnesty on Condi? tions?The'President Appealed to.

Russell, of 214 Franklin [ street, Greenpoint, from the effects of a bite on his finger, inflicted by Thomas Kelley, one of his tenants, has attracted great attention in that locality, and there was a large throng at the inquest at the police station in Greenpoint avenue last night Drs. James R. Taylor, E. C. Les? lie and Valentine Mott, of Bellevue Hos-1 pital, gave the history of the case after it came into their hands. The bite was inflicted on the 23d of March last, in a fight between the two men, and tome six weeks later, after the injury had been sadly neglected by Russell, he appeared in the hospital. The finger was amputa? ted at the second joint, in presence of the class, at a clinic in Bellevue. On July 29 it was decided to amputate tho finger at the third joint, and it was then discovered that the necrosis had extended to the metacarpal bone, which was also taken out. The wound was carefully attended to up to the time of Russell's death, on the 16th ult.?iNr. Y. Star.

One of the "patriotic exertions" of "those patriotic men who now constitute a majority of the House of Representa? tives"?to use the language of the Dem? ocratic candidate for Governor of Michi S,n?was directed towards crippling tbe nited States army. At the last session they carried an amendment to the army bill 'which forbade its use in enforcing the revenue laws. "Patriotism" so abounds in the South? ern States that the Democracy propose to take the government wholly into their own hands, so far as taxes on whiskey are concerned. They shoot down the officers of internal revenue, rescue tbe violators of the law from jail, and pre? vent the removal from State courts to United States courts of tbe cases arising out of these crimes. One Judge Kershaw of South Carolina plainly declares that the State government is bigger than the whole American union, and that the violators of the whiskey tax shall not be arrested within his precinct ! Another "patriotic" jurist, named Mackey, released the red handed mur? derer Redmond, for whom a reward had been offered in both the Carolinas, and raises a bulwark by committing him for some petty offense in order to shield bim from the United States authorities, "ponding negotiations between Governor Hampton and President Hayes to pro? cure amnesty for such persons and all others in like manner charged." Here we have a miserable little nest of traitors in the old Palmetto State assuming to negotiate as a separate and independent power with the nation which squelched them, and only make a mis? take in not blotting out their political existence forever. Mackey reports to Governor Hampton that "the grand jury have indicted five of the United States revenue officers and deputy marshals for having committed aggravating assaults upon unoffending citizens and they will be tried as soon as apprehended." These "unoffending cit? izens" were three men who had Deen rescued by the ruffian Redmond from jail, where they were confined for open violations of the law. Four more reve? nue officers have beeu arrested and im? prisoned on an indictment for murder, because in self-defense they killed a violator of the laws who had fired at them as they were seeking to arrest him. The South Caroliua press rejoices over the amnesty extended to all offenders against the ku klux laws, who may now return with safety to their homes; and it also calls for amnesty to be extended to the illicit distillers of South Carolina. Hero is a chance for some more "patri? otic exertions" from those "patriotic men" who are being so highly compli? mented by Northern Democrats in the interests of tbe illicit distillers of whiskey and the Confederate butchers of revenue officers. Down with the laws against illegal distillers I How could the Demo? cratic party exist iu the South if "those patriotic men" did not guard and uphold the whiskey interest? Men of the North are rigidly held to the payment of all taxes, while men of the South are so much more "patriotic" that they can defy the officers of the law, and be ap? plauded for it by Democratic authorities, whenever they kill negroes to carry an election, or kill revenue officers to escape a tax on whiskey. Let the loyal States of the union con? tinue patiently to pay taxes and elect doughfaces to Congress while the old rebel States "beat" the tax collectors and elect Confederate brigadiers to com? mand the doughface crowd in Congress. This will be "patriotism," as defined in Northern Democratic talk and Southern Democratic action.?Lansing [Mich.) Re? publican. _ President Hayes in Chicago.? Everything was favorable for the recep? tion of the President and for t"ie fire? men's parade on the 3d inst. At an early hour the principal streets were thronged. Towards noon the crush along the line of the processsiou became al? most painful. The train in which the Presidential party arrived was met at Kingston by a delegation of eminent business men aud reached here at eight o'clock. The reception was brilliant. A salute from the battery at the Exposition ground greeted the arrival of the train, and an immense concourse of enthusias? tic citizens greeted the President. The Presidential party proper is composed of the President and Mrs. IJayes, Attorney General Devens and Burchard, Webb C. and Rutherford Hayes. Arriving in the same train was tke party of the Commis? sioner of Agriculture, Mr. Leduc. It includes Pay Director Locker of the navy, Hon. T. C. Jones, of Ohio, Gen. Yanccy, Senator Butler, of South Caro? lina, Gen. Lomax and wife, "i Virginia, and others. # i The influx of firemen and outside firo companies by this morning's train was very large. About one hundred and fifty visiting organizations participated in the parade, which began at noon. The pro? cession was nearly five miles long. A military regiment of Chicago headed tho procession, and was followed by the Presidential party in carriages. Then came the fire companies with numerous devices on their engines, the Hook and Ladder Fire Patrol and the Rescue com? panies in full uniform. Continuous shouts greeted the procession, and were especially marked when the carriage con? taining the President standing with un? covered head passed along. The recep? tion committee will give the President a drive in the parks this afternoon, and a reception will be held at the Grand Pa? cific Hotel, at which several hundred Veterans will bo present. Fossil Discoveries iu tho West. The Omaha Bee gives an interview With Prof. S. W. Williston, of Yale College, about some remarkable fossils which have been discovered by Prof. Marsh in the vicinity of Como, Wyomiug, Colorado Springs, Canyon City and Mor? rison, Colorado. He said: Of course you are aware they are all petrified. The bones found exhibit ani malsof the reptile Bpecies of nearly all sizes, from that of a cat up to one bi'x ty feet in height. The name of the an? imal found at Como is what is termed tho dinosaur. . It belongs to the reptile species of the crocodile order. The re? mains give evidence that the animal stood up on its hind legs, somewhat lrke a kangaroo, and of course its head must have been about as high as the Grand Central Hotel of your city when he stood up. There were a large num? ber of these giant reptiles. We found one in Colorado that Prof. Marsh esti? mates mu it have been about one hun? dred feet in length. We found and col? lected a great many different remains of the same general class, but belonging to different species. We must have snip? ped from Colorado, Wyoming and Kan? sas from 300 to 400 specimens of the dinosaur and about one thousand of what are known by the name of ptero dactyle. The latter are a species of fly? ing reptile or dragon, that existed about the same age as the dinnsaurn. We found a specimen of one whose wings were from thirty to forty feet from tip to tip. We found seventeen different spe? cies of this kind in the cretaceous or chalk formations of Wentern Kansas. We also found remains of six species of toothed birds. Most of these same character of fossils are found to a lesser extent in tho cretaceous formations of England and also in Germany. The timo when these animals existed must, of course, have been hundreds of thou? sands of years before the age of man. The Lee Statue. About tl e 22d of last month a contract was made in Lexington, Rockbridge County, Va., for all the brick and stone work of a building which is to receive the monument of the great Confederate General, designed by Valentine. This monument is a tomb bearing the recum? bent figure, in a remarkable likeness, of General Lee. He is in uniform, the sabre has just slipped from his grasp, and his cloak partly covers his limbs, quietly composed. The attitude is per? haps rather of deep rest than of death. It is a beautiful work of art, and worthy of the effort made in Lexington to give it an appropriate shelter. The remains of General Lee, of his wife and of other decctsed members of his family will be interred in a large vault immedi? ately under the apartment which will re? ceive the suitue. After the election of tho General to the Presidency of the Washington and Lee University in Lexington :he.e was built in the grounds of tho institution, and mainly through the efforts of its President, a smatl church or chapel intended for all the public services of die university. It is a neat, simple brick building, rather Norman in style, of :i design selected and modi? fied by the General. It had a very small chancel, mostly for the purpose of make iug a stairway to the platform for speak? ing. This has been removed, and a build? ing, which about represents in form aud dimensions he chancel of an Episcopal church, is scon to be erected as a maus? oleum. It will contain on the level of the basement of the church a sort of open vestibule, paved, and reached through a large open arch. Within this vestibule arc doors, one of iron, opening into the vault, two others to the base? ment of the present church, and one to a covered stairway reaching convenient? ly to a vestibule above, which divides the church from the mausoleum or chap? el. One of the lower vestibule doors opens into the office of General Lee. It is fouud in the condirion he left it. It is carefully preserved, cleaned or dusted, and the visitor sees it exactly as the General did for tho last time. All the new building accords with the present church, but it is of very superior con? struction and entirely fire proof. The old chancel arch remains; a corres? ponding one- in the mausoleum walls gives a full view of the statue, but is ar? ranged with heavy iron sliding doors, and every precaution has been taken to cut off even the access of smoke to the mausoleum chamber. This portion of the building, about twenty-five feet square, is to be built inside of Baltimore pressed brick, laid with red join's and finished with a considerable quantity of cream-colored stone. These colors will contrast well with the pure white of the statue and its heavy base. The ceiling of the mauiiolcum will be of ground olass iu panels, of a richly-moulded iron construction. The light will come in through a skylight on the northern side of the roof. There will be in the maus? oleum also two windows for admission of air.?Baltimore American. Fraudulent Bonds in Coukt.? The following are the closing paragraphs of Judge Mackey's decree in the Charles? ton coupon mandamus case, which in? volved the question whether the coupons of certain bonds, pronounced fraudulent by the Boud Committee, should be re? ceived in payment of taxes. Judge Mackey held that they were tainted with fraud, and refused the mandamus. Wo are informed that if the principle of this decree is sustained on tho appeal which has been taken, the people will bo reliev? ed of two millions of dollars bonds. So mote it be: "I but take judicial notice of the pub? lic statutes when I state that tho present General Assembly have provided for tho levy and collection of a tax sufficient to pay the accrued and accruing interest on all unquestionably valid bonds of the State, that is, upon all bonds issued pur? suant to the terms of tho Consolidation Act, in exchange for tho bonds and certifi? cates of.stock designated tbereiu. ?'TheState of South Carolina has thus exhibited the most exalted regard for the public faith in consenting to recog? nize even in their transmuted form, bonus that were chiefly issued and dealt in by those who speculated in the chance of expunging he:-civilization, nnd enriched themselves by the sad contributions of the public calamity. "She may well therefore, be permitted to challeng these securities fur cause es? pecially as for this purpose, and in the in? terest of justice she waives her sovereignty und consents to become a defendant in her own court. She is entitled upon ev? ery principle of law and equity to re? quire that they shall be subjected to se? vere though impartial judicial scrunity before they uro declared lieus upon her revenue." ? Certainly, the state of matrimouy is one of tho United States. To obtain divorco is to secede from tho Union. TIio Stepping Stone to Health.
