OGLE CCUN ,Y-LYNCH LAw.-The AZ
torncy General Of the state Of Illinois, Mr..
Lamborn. has published an opinion rcla
tive to the recent exercise Of the lynch
law in Oge county, in the case Of the
Driscalls. Mr.. Lamborn regards the sum
mary execution Of the horse thieves, as
wholly unjustifable and uncaIled for in the
exigencies Of the case. He says, 81 have
no doubt that when the indignation and
phrenzy Of the &C ,asion, shall have aSscd
away, the actors in the general tragedy
will join in the general lamentation, which
must pervade society wherever the bloody
details arc made known" He contends
that the laws Of Illinois, arc sufficiently
Eigidand fully adequate 10 any emergency.
Ncar y thirty persons have been sentenced
to the pentcn'ary within tn? last wear,
from the districts infected with the horse
thieves and blackIegs. The plea there
fore that the arm Of the law is too weak,
to bring offenders to justice, is wholly
without foundation. The prosecutions in
the northern counties Of Illinois have been
unusually severe, as is proved by the num-
Der Of prisoners sent to the penientiary.

Many enquiries are made by Territorial
creditors when the money appropriated by
congress at the last session will be forth,
coming, for the redemption Of the ccrtf-
Gates issued, by authority Of the Lcgisla-
live Assembly. 1t has been suggested to
us, and we believe there is truth in the as
sertion, that the great reason why the mo-
ncy has not been ere this forwarded to the
Secretary Of the Territory, for the pay
mcnt of Legislative expenses, is that this
officer has not yet executed and forwarded
his bond to the proper Department at
Washington. Why this neglect We are
unable TO imagine. AS Territorial crcdi-
tors are suffering therclrom, il is to be
hoped the new Secretary will attend to the
matter. 1t cannot be expected Of course
that he will be entrusted with government
funds for disbursement until his bond has
been executed and filed.

red to protect the lives and homes of his fellows
should be beyond The reach of political malice, and
he who seeks 10 tarnsh the hardearne fame OF The

ant 10 the hest interests of his country But We are
not among those who esteem military fame lone,sqf
fcient argument in f1vor of civil distinction. We
like TO see grateful people, but still the interests of
the many are too important to be entrusted TO those
who have given no evidence of an ability for states

HGcalons rested entirely upon his military fame
presume he would not have been before the
people; but they do not. As Governor OF the terri
tory which he defended, he gave universal saiisfac-
ton; not a murmur of complaint arose during his

quired Wit in the fur walls of a college searching
into the ahsrrse mysteries of ancient and dead Ian

Dodge, we are pleased observe that his mos, vio

reasons why we think the interests of the territory
would be advanced by the election of Gov. Dodge

DISTRIBUTION BnL.-We publish in
another column an abstract Of the Land
Distribution Bill, which has passed the
House of Repre- sentatives. Our readers
will perceive that it combines the pre-emp-
ton principle with it. Setting aside for
the present the general merits of this bill,
it will be an important matter of enquiry
TO the people Of this Territory whether the
bill is just 10 their claims and interests
The Territories have important interests
at stake in the disposition which Congress
makes of the public lands. The distribu-
ton bill may be regarded as strictly a par
ty measure-not single democrat in the
House, having recorded his vote in its ia
vor. 1t will undoubtedly receive the sane
ton Of the Senate.
