DECISION OF JUDGE KANE IN THE
CASE OF THE ABoLITIoNIsT PASS
MORE WILLIAMS

We cannot do better than adopt the language
Of the Penngiranian in announcing the decision
of Judge Kane in the case Of the abolition, slave
thief Williams. That journalsays:
"In another column will be found the mastery
opinion Of Judge Kane on the question Of negre
stealing by an aboltionist named Passmore Will
hanson, well known leader of the ultra anti
slavery men Of this city. The call for this sound
and able judicial document, was occasioned by an
outrage upon the constitutional rights Of Colonel
John II. Wheeler, who was despoiled Of his three
servants, while on the national highway, and in
transitu TO perform high official Government
mission. The insubordination of the aboltionists
TO the laws Of the land, has been marked fea-
ture in their conduct, whenever the question OF
southern quality presented ITSELF and il was be.
coming subject Of doubt whether they could be
held to the least accountability north Of Mason
and Dixon's line. Former escapes from punish
ment only embroidered them TO waylay a south
ern gentleman, with his servants, while lingering
for a few minutes the very margin Of The
State, and forcibly dispossess him Of his property.
His person was subjected to the grossest ndpnities
for what could wound the keen sensibilities Of n
gentleman more than TO be violently held by ruff
fan negroes, with the threat Of having his throat
cut, while their black confederates, headed by a
white man, were stealing his servants from under
his protection There is a limit set TO all sorts
of rascalty, and the ultra anti-slavery people
have now reached the extreme verge Of their
depredations, and reaction has already com
menced.''
The same journal continues:
''The learned counsel for Mr.. Wheeler James
Y. Van Dyke, esq., receives full share Of praise
Tor the very able manner in which be conducted
the prosecution. In this and several other recent
cases where the laws Of the United States have
been infracted, he has won for himself a reputa-
uon which the most eminent legal minds in the
land might feel proud TO possess.
The four propositions suggested by Judge
Name, we take it, are sound as law and reason can
make them
flrst. That no statute exists, either Of the Uni
ted states, or Of Pennsylvania, or Of New Jersey,
the only other State that has qualified iurisdic-
lar this part Of the Delaware, that authorizes

Melancholy case of Drowning.

As Rev. John II. Elliot, of Williamsburg, and
his daughter, in company with Miss Easton, Mr.
Henry Boyd, and Mr.. Gibbons of this city, were
bathing at Coney Island, Wednesday evening
they ventured too far from the shore, and were
swept out by the fatal under-current, which car
RED them beyond their depth, and Mr. Elliot and
his daughter were drowned. Mr.. James Ellis
who witnessed the occurrence, Immediately put
out after the unfortunate strugglers and succeed
ed in rescuing Miss Easton, who was conveyed
to house near by, quite insensible. On appro-
pirate stimulants being administered she was re-
stored to animation. BY the timely exertions Of
other parties present, who sent out blanks &c
Mr.. Boyd and Mr. Gibbons were saved. We
understand that Mr.. Elliot was good swimmer,
but the fatal current was too powerful for him. In
attempting TO save the life Of his daughter, the
surf swept them both 10 destruction.
Mr.. Henry ldo, Of this city, who witnessed the
catastrophe assures us that there was not boat "A
float, or even rope, TO be found anywhere in the
vicinity. Could a surfboat or a long rope, ha We
been obtained, no life need have been lost II is
strange, nay, more, II Is a shame, that al such
place OF resort as Coney Island, where during the
warm weather, two three hundred persons
bathe daily, no provision is made TO guard against
such melancholy accidents few dollars laid
out for ropes and floats, 20 be kept constantly AT
hand, might be the means of saving valuable
lives; and visitors would not be compelled TO ex-
Perence such pangs Of remorse as rushed upon
those who witnessed the struggles Of these drown.
ing persons, but were unable to render them any
assistance.
Mr.. Elliot was a local preacher Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and much esteemed.
The body Of Miss Elliot was washed ashore
yesterday about noon. The remains were brought
to Williamsburg, and deposited at tho house of
Thomas Gibbons, in South 1st street, to whom il
Is understood the young lady was engaged to be
married. The funeral is 10 take place this FORE
noon at Bowronville, the late residence of deceas
ed. Quite a number Of the friends Of the family
are engaged in searching for tho remains Of Mr.
Elliot, but so far without success.-Jounai of
