Release of Passnore Williamson.


Release of PassmoTe Williamson.
The force of public opinion has at last
forced Judge Kane TO release his victim,
and Passmore Williamson is again tree.
A more complete triumph on the part Of
Mr.. Williamson, and a more complete
defeat on the pax et the Judge, vas
never Witnessed.
Il win be remembered that when M.
W lliamson was first charged with con-
temp O. count on account Of his return
upon The writ of ho5eas corpus, The only
ground Of he chaIge was, thai in declar-
ing thar he had ere had control Of the
colored woman Johnston, he had made a
false re:urn, and thereby committed a
constructive contempt OF the Court. Mr..
Williamson then asked leave o amend
the return, so as only 10 stale the fact
that the alleged slaves were nos under
his custody at tie tiaae Of tie >Srr'ce cfHe
arit. This wa not .ianted. Mr.. WI.
hanson was sert 10 jail. Blu. during the
three months and more during which the
prison walls confined him, a mighty power
was at work for his l~elease. There were
no riots-no appeal to lynch law, though
the high-handed outrage upon him deep
" stirred ;hhe wrath OF he people. The
Indignation and scorn which gathered IN
the faces of all the people, and the grow
inc consciousness of the contempt OF his
fellow citizens, became TOO heavy q bur
den for the pnrighteous judge, and he
was forced at last 10 come forward and
make an unconditional surrendr :. Mr..
Williamson was brought into court, and
the identical aasuer which he made when
frs. arrested, is suddenly found TO be all
sufficient; the contempt is purged, and
be is set at liberty When the District
Attorney attempted TO force him into an
admission of the l., atty OF his first i'm
priscnment. The nervous Judge would run
no lisk of another collision with the in
iured man, but snu5bed the attorney,
made him Withdraw his objections, and
declared that the answer already given
was enough.
This result is a triumph, moi only for
Mr.. Williamson, but for free principles,
and fer our republican institutions. 1t
shows that no outward force is necessary
to make the public will respected, but
when brought to bear upon ? 'yrannical
official, no matter how high bis position,
he must quail b, fore lis silent and peace
full, but resistless power.
Mr.. Williamson has, since his release,
brought a suit against Judge Kane, for
false Imprisonment. and The issue is TO
be trieo at a future Term of court in Del F.
aware county. Tie questions OF The il
risdiction Of The United States Court in
the matter, and whether the return by
Mr.. Williamson upon the writ could be
construed into contempt, will then re-
ceive a full examination and a Judicial
decision. Nothing can add to the salts
faction OF the public mind upon these
questions, but we trust thar a judicial
rebule viii be given TO Judge Kane,
which will be a lesson to him and TO ali
other Judges who would make The power
of their courts an engine OF despolc
tyranny
