Louis. n uhieh he gave his views as to what conyiituteá treuaon. The publication of the cl il wa understaoti, created u good deal of exciterneiit iirnong ihe (tiwunroniats oi Tenne8iee, and the Queation Of the Júdge's expulsión from the State was . igitated. Tho fuct f tliu ngitation of tlii queHtion first becatne kuown td da itom ;t curd published in the Tennewèe paper by Mr. V, K Stevei son, Pie.-ii f tbu doutbom Pacific Itailroad. Mr.'iötevenson'fl c.inj wua in ii;iniet appeal in favor of Judge Oatron'a being perrnitteii to remuin ín Tem W-. -i ated thai Ije ii id had ;i peroomii in turview with the Judgë aöd cunveraed froi ly with !iir:, ihut he was conviucod there aa noilii-i dungeroiis in tlie Judge 's principies or lutentioike, ud that he as ure the preaenue of hin Houor eould be tolerated Mifi.-Sy and should be olerated by 11 means. TIiltone ot the appea] vas not tofty, it waa thotitr'nt rather humble, :r, it was oón sidered ;in doing very little credit to Judge CutronV spirit, upan the sup position ihut. he ntithorized the publication o:1 assented to it. Tho card, however, did not nccotnplisli its purptMe. One day [ast wetik, the Vigilance Crminittee ) N'aeb.ville vraited itpnh Judgo Oatton, infimned him that hö must either remgil his iffireof Jüdae or leare the State, nnd nsi'ii him which he nrould do. The Judge a not [repared to ronder an uiswi-r.

Withih he tweutyf'our hou re, the bid man took Kis departure irom Tennesüue, leaying his aged wife behtnd hirn, a .- ! j ts was too s'u;k and feeble to bu removed. We heard of him in (hiö city on Friday or Saturday, hut did not seo b-im We presume tb nt h e is Btillin this vicinity. We Bnrely ne d not comrnent ut lenyth ';poi) tiiis groaa mu wanton nutruge. Judgi.' Cutron, appoinled to the Benen of the Suproino Court by hi-i greal fiie ui President JucIchod, is HB veiierablo in a,'ts as in charaoter, being, we believe', more than seventy years old. Surely the peop'e of Ten nettsee could bave no appruhensiön that the ï'esid-.-nce of tliis aged Judicial functioDary among them was or could bo dangerpua to their State. Tbey can haveentertained no few, that he would or could ttubvert their libertie.s or destroy ur.y of their privileges. In driving him north is an exile, oom Iíiiíí him lo leavé the venerable partner of his busom, i!l and perhapa dving, they have done a deed at whioh the hole respeciable poriion of the people of the Ui.itod States w i ! 1 raise the cry ! of " shame."
