ILLINoIs.--The censusj just taken in Illinois
shows remarkable increase in the popula-
,ion. Returns from sxty-four counties show
a gain over the last census of 293,842; and
it is estimated that the total population will
run up to 100000. By 1860 Illinois will
be the fourth State in the Union, leaving
Virginia in the rear In 1887, when Virginia
ceded the Northwestern territory to the gov
ernment, that State was the first in rank in
the Union and Illinois was a total wilderness
Now the latter has out grown the former and
leads her in rank-the daughter takes pre-
cedence o. the mother. Thanks 10 the wis
dom OF Jefferson und Washington. who had
not learned to eschew their Repubicanism
for the modern dogma of "Squalter Soverigr-
ty," Illinois was saved at the outset from the
curse of slavery. and so rejoices in the growth
which attends only upon rnshackled limbs

Rather Bold.

The Boston Courier, in noticing new
hotel recently opened in that city, on the
European plan, says:
Ladies should not hesitate to patronze it.
There is no reason why they should not have
a lunch on something substan ia--a slice o
beei, a cut of ham, a leg of chicken, tender
snipe--as well as men; aud if they desire it,
have glass of wine or something more pun.
gent, just as if the" were at home. If they
will but unite and dis orbe themselves of tina,
shyness which makes them less than ange
laugh and be merry, and talk natural and
free-they will improve their own condition
and make life happier
1t strikes us that the present tendency is
for ladies' to 'disorbe themselves not on ly of
thai snyness' which is akin to modesty, bu t
even of the angelic attributes oil modesty
itself. A beautiful woman in a fashionable
restaurant, with a glass OF brandy in one
hand, ION the European plan,' we should re-
gard, in our unsophisticated village of New
York, as rather lndelicate exhibition. We
have long since lost the school boy illusion
that women are made of ether, and can live
on love; but we still confess to something
of repugnance at seeing them in eating
up to their eyes in beef and beer

THE PASSMORE WILLIAMSON CASE

The attitude OF the case which has
grown out of the imprisonment OF PAssMoRE
WILLIAMSON, has become such as to inter-
est every man in the Free States. We
therefore give a brief synopsis of the mat
ter, that our readers may see the length g.
breadth of the point at issue, and also see
to what extremes the demands of Slavery
are tending.
A Mr.. WHEELER, Of North Carolina, was
passing through Philadelphia, with his
Saves. While the boat was lying at the
wharf, those slaves escaped. Mr.. Wheeler
got out writ of Habeas Corpus before
Judge KANE, of the United States Court,
claiming that Mr.. Williamson had possess
ion cf his slaves, and Mr.. Williamson was
brought before Judge Kane to answer to
the writ. Mr.. Williamson made answer
to that writ that the persons never had
been in his custody, inasmuch as they were
free as. soon as they touched Pennsy yIvania
soil. Judge Kane committed him to iiil
for contempt of Court, in making-=as the
Judge says--a false -eturn of the writ, g.
MIR. w. is still inside the prison walIs,--
That was the first of this matter.
One OF the persons claimed by Mr..
Wheeler under that writ as his slave was
Jane Johnson, who now files her petition
and says that she never was detained by
Mr. Williamson, and she never authori-
zed any one to ask the writ for her, and
therefore pays for the writ of Habeas Cor
pus to bring Mr.. Williamson out of Jail
and for his discharge.
Judge Kane refuses the writ for two
reasons~-because she is stranger to any
proceedings in the case, and does not pro-
Tess to have any right to solicit action in
behalf of another
1t therefore turns out that one kind OF
law is to be applied to this Jane Johnson
when she comes into Court, and another
to Mr.. Wheeler, the STAKEHOLDER, when he
comes in. Wheeler the STAKEHOLDER comes
before Judge Kane, and without solicita-
ton from the parties said to be restrained
of their liberty. asks writ Of Habeas Cor
pus, and it is granted him; but Jane John
sor is turned out of Court because she
does not show authority for asking such a
writ from the person whose liberty she
asks for. II there ever was case In
/ which Justice was meted out from one
measure to one person, and from another
measure 20 another person, this is it.
IL was in this case that Judge Kane Ut.
tered the monstrous doctrine to which we
referred yesterday, and which grants the
right to shareholders to carry their hum an
chat'els through tho Free -states.--Cleve-
land Herald.

KANsAs.-We copy the following from
Kansas Territorial Register of Oct g., an ad.
ministrator paper at Leavenworth City, X. II.
"We have just been shown letter to Mr.
Abercrombie, late member of Congress from
Alabama, written by an old friend of his who
has been visiting our Territory, and who was
presen, on election day. After seeing the
Missouri people voting for Gen Whitfield by
proxy and otherwise, he exclaimed, 1T would
have been Better for the South, better for the
world, that Kansas had never been heard Of
He deprecated in the strongest and most en-
phatic lpnguage the assumption of the right
to cross the Missouri river and vote for Kan
sas officers; that he came here to purchase
property and invest money, but that he was
Disguised with the state of affairs. He then
left for the South on the steamer Aubry.-
Thus it is we hare been deprived of one of
the most valuable of southern citizens.

the action, called to Mr.. Joseph Colt, who

Mr.. Adams moved rapidly towards the door
