 ANOTHER TRIMBLE CAsE!i JAMES WoopsoN BATES, Esq has been dismissed from a seat on the Superior Court Bench of this Territory We have received several letters, from different parts of the Territory, asking 's why has Bates been removed ln The only cause we know of, Is his eote against Col. sevier, at the last August election, for Delegate to Congt ess--it Is another 79.iae5ie case !! Will the People stand every thing3 We hope 10 be able, at no very distant period, to make farther deyelopements, as to the cause of this dismissal.
 Gr Since the above was put in type, we have been told that Col. scvier has written 10 some of his friends here, that lie had no agency, directly or indirectly, in the dismissal of Judge Bates ifso, the above paragraph will give lis friends an opportunity of defending him against a charge, which is currently reported and generally believed throughout Arkansas For our own part, we cannot but believe, If Judge Bates had voted for Scyicr in stead of Desha, Ire would have been re- tained as Judge of the Superior Court, and we ground this belief upon the fact, that short time after the last election, Seyier remarked, twhen speaking of Bates oppo- sition to him. that Judge Bates must not think lard Of liiin iflc slould De removed.
 .ashfey's hberato0cr-The last Gazette says, that the six lots offered as donation to the Territory, [by Ashley,l " provided tire Legislature would agree to erect a State-house on them, D 6 fohfered for sale, would command from $500 to $500 a. piece" Now, we do not hesitate to aver, that the lots alitded to, |" if offered fer sale" tomorrow, would not average S20O apiece. But the uaiuc aside. To whom do those lots 6eloag-in whom is the title vested! Ashley claims them, to be sure, Jas he does every thing else, when the oWnef' happens to be absent,) but he has not even q siadoao of tHie--and the mem bers of the Legislature knew very we'll, at the time, Chat he was offering them lots 10 which he could give title, and had no just claim. This will account for tie Colonel's iberalty!t The lots in ques- ton, righJmiy belong to the heirs of those of another dag.
