County Chairman Democratic Party

Judge Kershaw hos delivered written
opinion, refusing the motion to remove to the
1 Circuit Court of the United States the case of
the State. against Kane and others for killing
Amos Ladd, in Piokens County. The opinn
ion is lengthy and embraces an elaborate
review of the section of the revenue laws
under which the motion is made, with abun
%dant authorities for the refusal of tho motion.
The question is one of great public interest,
and the decision of Judge Kershaw, besides
! being clear and conclusive, is on the side Of
peace and order. The Qreenyille News has
information that Attorney General Devens
has telegraphed Major Earle to appeal from
\ the decision of Judge Kershaw; so thnt the
case will doubtless 90 the Supreme Court Of
the State and thence perhaps to the Supreme
Court Of tho United States for final arbitra-
ment.
