IHNitb of Hon. J oil 11 I.. Mllllnmaoa. Judjre John L. Williamson died at his residence here Tuesday morning last, after a lingci iug illness aged 44 years. He was buried in the ceine teryy esterday with the honors of Odd Fellowship by Milan Lodge, No. 155. Judge Williamson was horn in Rutherford county, Tenn., October 1st, 1832, where he resided w ith his j father, the late Beverly A. Willrnnw ton, until his removal to this county in the year 18 . His father and family have resided in and near Milan since their removal to Gibson county. John L. Williamson attended the In stitute at Murfrcesboro, Tenn., where he received the greater part of his ed ucation. He studied law under the late Col. M. R. Hill, of Trenton, and was admitted to the bar in 1857, at that place. He soon took a position iu the front rank of the Gibson county bar, at that time conceded to be one of the strongest in West Tennessee, adorned as it then was by such men as Black, R. P. Rains, Judge Carthcl and M. R. Hill. The position taken by him in lhe legal profession was re tained, and, as if by universal consent, he was regarded as one of the ablest lawyers of the State by the bar of West Tennessee. Aggressive, quick, eloquent, logical, he fought his way to the frout of his profession. Few of his associates iu the profession have achieved easy vic tories over him. So prominent were his talents, so sterling his native worth, that, although not a Radical, he was appointed by Gov. Brownlow to the oflice of Chancellor for this f Miflnrvirv Division ill 1ftfi7 v.-rtisli rwv. j ..f r- sition he held up to the year I8C9, filling it with marked ability. He was always on the Bide of the oppressed people during the adminis tration of Govs. Brownlow and Senter. Ha a, one time represented the county in the lower House of the general as sembly; won married twice, first to Miss Martha Zackory, ot Murfrces boro, and second to Mrs Viola Mosely, of Owensboro, Ivy. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. Personally Judge Williamson was as popular as he was successful professionally. So kind, open and sincere was Lis natura that be left none but friends behind bim. Ene mies he had none. Without ostenta tion, his charities were many and noble. Not a sufferiujj one who ever asked abns went empty-handed from his door, while to hjs friends be was as lavish of his worldly ootls as to was - . .1 .1. . rearw in their defejise.

We find in a recent number of the Trenton Mirror the following able let ter of IIou. Wise A. Coojter, giving his views as to the lest manner ot paying the State debt. His argu ment is plausible, and we don't see why this or some similar dan cannot be adopted. Read it. We arc all in terested. It was a matter of surprise to very many that the recommendation of Col. John C. Burch, made Ly him as Comptroller, to re-establish the Bank of Tennessee fell upon the last Legis lature so powerless. The same sur prise prevails with many now, that the views ot Judge Marks upon the same sul ject, stated some time ago in an article of unusual vigor, should not have attracted more general at tention1. If it -be said there are diffi culties let it be replied, these do not outv.': the great advantages that would ensue. While 1 favor the es tablishment of a .State bank, both as a measure of rvrrnue to the .State, and also to furnish directly, the people a currency wi;h which to pay taxes, push productions and develop pros perity nevertheless, at this writing, 1 wish to submit another plan of j financial relief. But ofore doing so j I me ask, is there not a dire wWty nn.ul.,..- For the present, so far as adeq late financial relief is concerned, we had as well lav National politics out of the case. However, kIiouI.1 we secure the triumph of the IK nocratic princi- i plts of reform, and the repeal of the J jrTa years h -ve .na.h, o, ,o uit.v ! sal and Ih i me lioi t to rcui-tate tu ; flirtllIlw, iiu.r:,ny u,iril,g the bos ! of the eai ih to pieces with their ii uiu ei- their nin pieces wiin tiicir iron : implements of industry." and banking ; up prodjce in excess of the past; and j yet when put upon the market so lit tle d'tes tins produce ln i:;gtnat it ca i not with the body of the people, do more than pay current expen.-es.taxes and inteie.-t, having the priiicijial of their debts uutViit hcd. Indeed it will not, with a grout muny. do so much ! nig like high enough to prevent the growth of our inueUedntas. A great public debt is a curse. In the end it. is chains anil siaverv Tennessee owe about 2-", 000,000 what will we do about it? Reimdi- ate il ? Many say .-o. And it i true that iu the midst of any iJ't.tniant-e ol bread there is an universal paraly.-i.-of prosperity that the dry-rot isteal ing through ail our siflairs public and private that enterprise and the ma terial indu.-tiies languish and that lalair, the Li.-U of all value, goes un rewarded. But is repudiation a rem edy for p.nythiig? No! But if it Wiiked will for 1 he State, even, i!s effect upon piivatc virtue would be ruinous, 'lh.- ci.izens would argue, w'.iat the St.:te can do 1 can do. Surely it is not de-ired ia our exigen cy to subvert honor and honesty, but ti) find re'i-f ct nip t.ible therewith. The plan ti.ai I Msbn.it is; The i-su.'.pce by the State of paper, in liquidation of debts. Such paper bottomed on f 'tit. My idea would be to i-sue ay 4,000,000 the first year, for the next and succeeding years an am- uiit wi'h minimum and maximum limits, the same to Le determined by a State ljoard of Finance; thus con verting bunds f-.T 1. on interest U-ar-ing paper, according as there might lie a demand, and value preserved, and creating an tln.-tic plan of relief, well suited to practical opcrati m. In teiest coiijious always first to be taken up. The bulk of Mich issu-tnee to be tinall d.i.vmiiiatk'U, the ol ject be ing to Lave it thrown in circulation. The pajiex to have the complete ajv jieaninee of bank bills. A to name, that is immaterial. Tax certificates, warrants, Tennessee notes or hi. Is, either .would do. The saing on in terest account would be $00,000 on eveiy 1,000,000 converted per an num; and this for every year after fconvjTsion. Is this attractive? I there truth in mat hi unities? If so, tun wit the calculation and see what -will be saved sav in five vears. The f "... fdifhcultv in our financiering is, - we we uiuy piiy .ui iiucicn, .11111 tion 1. pa' nil that, leaving the piincipal to grow and grow forever. I'ntil this jioiicy is reversed we are verily "hew ers of wood and drawers of water.

We are now substatjtir.Ily ; without a circulating r.:cilium. This I rntagonSyxs enterprise an1 prosperity, j j UhVv we i;oJ ttij'ered enoiigh ? But your plan gets the paper urged to the hands of the creditor of the State only even were he to take it. Looking to the non-payment of intei'' ests, to the value of bonds, to the largeness of our debt and the impov erifhed condition cf the tax-pavers, j I think our creditors, could they be advised, and a careful bid framed, they would make the exchange. Once holding slich paper that yielded no interest they seek opportunity to put it out by buying up all our pro dace, our heavy town lote and farms, and by establishing manufactories, esjeeia!ly in our mineral regions. A Yery picture of prosperity would soon dance under our vision. I w;us told when iu the Legislature hist ses sion, that our creditors would make sach an exchange ; and so informed by sources that I did not hesitate to credit. Of course the interest of the creditor, as well as that of cur own, would require we avoid excessive is sue. The scheme could be ruined by excess. I feel sure such paper would pass current. For the benefit of the public I beg to refer to the view s John C Calhoun, expressed in the United States Satiate in 17. Speak ing upon the same subject, he said : " It may throw some light upon this su! ject to state that North Caro lina, ju.-t alter the Revolution, issued a large amount ot paper, which was made receivable in dues to her. It was also made a legal tender, but w hich was not of course, obligatory after the adoption of the Federal Con stitution. A large amount, say be tween four and five hundred thousand dollars, remained in circulation after that period, and continued to circu late tor mot e than twenty years at par with gold and silver during the w hole time, with no other advantage than being received in the revenue of the otaic, which was much less than SluO.-OO per anr.uni." In the .-time debo! sjieaking fu th er, Mr Calhoun said : " We are also told that there is no iu.-tauce of a Government paper that did not depreciate. In reply, I affirm t!...t flw.w. i .i-i-... ,.;... tl.rt f.. 111. lb L.lV.l l.f li.'.ll , ... ,11 ill. ... I propose, that ever did depreciate. Whenever a paper receivable in the ducsof Government hail any thing like a fair tiial, it has succeeked. Instance the case of Carolina, referred to in tn v opining remarks. The drafts of the ireasurv at this moment, with all ... - . ' their incumbrance, are ready at par with gold and silver; and 1 might add the instance alluded to by the distinguished Senator from Kentuckv, in which he admits that as so tn as the excess of the issues of the Com laonwealth Rank, of Kentucky were redii'-ed to the proper point, its notes rose to par. The case of Russia might also lie mentioned. In 1827 she hail a fixed paper circulation, in the form of lank notes, but which were incon vertable, of upward of $12,000,000, e.-tim.itcd in ii..1 iut i..!:c ruble, and which liad remained for vears with nit fluctuation, having nothing to stist-.iii it btit th;:tiwas;ec ividin the hies of the (Jovcrnnient, ar.d that too, - till a tevciiue of only about SUO.COO 'J(;0 annually. I speak on the au thority of a respectable traveler. Other instances, no doubt, might be added, but it needs no such support." Mr Jcfh-rson, back of Mr Calhoun, in 18R5, hold the same views. He used tl.t. fallowing language in corres pondence with bis fiieml, Mr Eppes : "In the war of 177.") our State availed i-clt of this fund by issuing a paper money Lotiomed on a specifi. tax for its rcdi niption, a:ul, to insure its credit, bearing an interest of per cent. Within a very short time not a bill of ibis emission was to be found in circulation. It was locked up in chests of executors, guardians, widows, fanners, itc. We then issued bills bot tomed on a redeeming tax, but bear inir no interest. These were readily j received, and never depreciated a single farthing. On the matter of what would be a sound relation of amount to be issued, the amount to be annually absorbed by taxes, attention is called to the first extract, by which the relation of 4 or 5 dollars of currency to one of taxes annua ly levied is safely pre scrvtd. Upon this rule at the outset the credit ot our State would Uoat sav as much r.s $5,0;0,000 yet my judgment would Ik? 4,000,000 to .-tart with. Then, as our prosperity inciea.-td, and as our earnestness ap peared, and as the crrUthi yrwt.s of redemption ly taxation was demonstrat ed our confidence and that of otheis would grow, and our credit strength en and harden. Under the effect of such an experience a much larger amount could be floated without un due depreciation. However the elu tir feature of the plan would govern the amount. It may be objected that to issue such pajier would be in conflict with the Federal Constitution, that inhib its the issuing or enduing of a bill of j credit, i he case of Craig et als. vs. the State of Missouri, 4th, l'cteis.is no authority to show illegality. In that case Justice McKeansaid: "If the Suite of Missouri in the discharge of its debts had paid such certificates, I the act woulJ not nave been illegal. ! James Madison held, that for such tianer to become obnoxious to the Constitution, it must be made a lend , tlC inrowiiH' otu a ''cneral iiromise 1 v the Slate to redeem, "when no fund has been provided, or no .certain means ol absorption create!, ilie power of taxation is great enough and cei tain t ncugh to take up the paper contt niplaUd. 15ut why argue this? Can the State give its obligation for a t'ebt evidencing the same bra bond, a promissarr note or a warrant? As to the element of circulation, this does not effect the question. Ry provid- inga f::ml, r.s a Lws of credit, the state foinicrlv had in xrirculatic-n her not s issued by the banks cf Tcunes- jssc.eu oy ine nanus 01 tcuih-s-; On this poiut I refer for author- j at is conclusive to the case cf ! see, ity th; NUMBER 38. BrUcal vs. Bank of Kentucky, 11th Peters; and to-Darrington vs. Bank of Alabama, 13th Howard. There are other views I would be pie tsed to pre.-ent, upon a subject to my self La.t very interesting, but the length of iN's is already much be yond my intention. I bcsper.k reflec tion, we must nil go up together or ali go down together Roth my self ishnos and patriotism interest me very much iu the rerolution of the wheel of our fortune. I trust that iu its turning it may throw us upon a higher kvel of prosperity and happi ness than ever. W. A. C. A Hint.
