without it. To strike it down would be to

% The last victim of Federal power in
illinois, Hon. J. W. Davidson, former United
States Marshal for the northern district in
that State, is thus alluded to by the Chicago
Times Of late date;
"For several days it has been known here
that Hon, James w. Davidson, the late eff.
cient and popular Marshal for northern Hi
nois, had been removed, and a young, un-
known man-unknOwn as a Democrat to the
Democracy Of this State-apponted 1t is
needless to say that the news of this vindic.
tive act caused, ia Chicago, universal sur
prise, regret, and Indignation. And we are
apprised by dispatches and letters from nu-
merous other sections that throughout the
State there is but one sentiment regarding it.
Every person who has any acquaintance
with Mr., Davidson knows him te be an hon
orable and able man, and a stauhch and con
sistent Democrat No citizen can point to an
act or speeeh ofhis that should throw him
under the ban of an earthly power. Against
him, as an agent of the General Government,
not single inst complaint was ever uttered
by any member of the Administration at
Washington, or by any citizen of Illinois
1t is too, well known to the Administration,
as it is to the whole people of this State, that
no man could be better qualified than Mr..
Davidson for the particular Office from which
he has been removed and that he was, at
heinduction of Mr.. Buchanan into the Pres
idency the almost unanimous choice Of the
Democracy On the day of his removal he
was equally competent and equally the fa-
yOrte of the party.
What, then, was the cause of his removal
Hissuperauous to write it, We all know that
Mr. Davidson has been sacrificed because OF
his attachment to the Democratic party be-
cause he would not repudiate, at the back OF
any tyrannical inquistor at Washington, the
regular nominations of the party; and be
cause he would not leave unattended his
proper official duties to hound and throttle
Stephen A. Douglas! Democrats! citizens
there YOU have the reason that impeled the

We will not insult you by asking you what
you think of it."
Since Mr.. Davidson has been removed
from office, the Democrats Of the Chicago
Congressional District have made him then
candidate for Congress, with every chance o
his election. So works the Test

A PRISONER TAKEN FROM THE HANDS o.
THE CIVII. DEEICERS AND HING

A PRISONER TAKEN FROM THE HANDS OF
THE CIVIL OFFICERS AND HUNG.
A few weeks since we published some of the par
ticulars of the killing of constable named Tim
MONS in Gentry county, by man named kesler,
and the excitement attending the tragedy. kesler
threatened with lynch law unless he had his
trial Immediately by civil authorities, whereupon
runner sent to Platte City to inform Judge NOr
ton of this declaration. The Judge appointed spe-
cial term of the court Immediately, and on Tuesday
last, 22d inst, Judge Norton Circuit Judge of this
District and Gen. Bassett, State Attorney, in COM
pany with counsel for the Defence left this city for
Albany to attend the trial. On arriving, the Judge
proceeded to impannel grand jury. \ large crowd
of orderly gathered from all quarters and filled
the court room to Overaowing, to witness the pro
ceedings
The trial progressed until Friday, when it was
found that the two most important witnesses, on
the part of the defence, had been driven off, and
nothing could be heard of them. This being the
case, the counsel for the defence requested that the
trial should be continued until the regular term
which request Judge Norton, of course, granted.
Up to this time, the utmost order prevailed among
the throng; not a murmur was heard, not dissent
ing voice was given. The Judge, mistrustng a
storm brewing from the calm, ordered the sheriff
to summon posse of twenty-five men, to guard the
prisoner to jail. The guard had no sooner taken
their position, before rush was made on the pris-
oner by the mob, when the excitement became gen
eral.
The guard was showed aside, and the prisoner
seized and dragged towards skirt of timber, about
hundred yards Off the sheriff all the time doing
his utmost to protect the prisoner, assisted by vol
unteers of the friends of law and order, but all to
no avail. The mob rushed on towards the wood
with the prisoner On arriving at a suitable
place, religious service was held by a gentleman
who volunteered his services and the prisoner also
prayed. The rope was then put around his neck,
and thrown over a limb. Previous to execution,
the prisoner begged piteousy for permission to
his vile and four interesting little girls once more
before he died Strange to say, this request was
not granted by the infuriated and tiendish mob.
He then swung up; the rope breaking was
speedily tied again. and the spirit of the unfortunate
man was launched into eternity.
