to the Supreme Court. The question then arose,
as to whether the appellant must give security
Tor costs. Decision that he must. Appeal to
General Term, and decision affirmed the Off
ciai bond of the State of Virginia sent on as
security for the costs. The security objected to
and rejected by the Court, because given by a
nonresident.
ms brings us up to the present time. In
the place OF the rejected security, a new bond
has been given by the attorneys of Mr.. Lem
mon.
b" The case will probably come on for argu-
ment before the general term of the Supreme
Court next November Mr.. Lapaugh, for the
appellant, (nOminally Mr.. Lennon, actually the
State Of Virginia, will be assisted 10y the Attor.
ney General of Virginia. Mr.. Culver, we under.
stand, will probably be assisted by Ogden Hoft,
man, Esq, Attorney General of this State
Whichever way the case is decided, it will be
carried up to the Court of Appeals, and, with
out doubt, eventually to the Supreme Court OF
the United States
We understand that the State of Virginia
if successful, intends applying to the Legislature
OF this State to be reimbursed for their expen
SEES. If unsuccessful, then they will attempt the
passage of a special act through Congress, to be
paid out of the National Treasury"
The decision in this case will be looked fol
with much interest. Some gentlemen learned
in the law feel very sanguine that the Supreme
Court of the United States will declare the sci
| zure and liberation of the slaves, under the cir
cumstances, to be illegal.

THE LENNON SLAVE CASE.

Almost every reader recollects tb, case OF
Jonathan Lennon, of Virginia, who, spout two
years ago, took family of slaves Wis him to
New York, for the purpose of embarF$ng with
them for Texas, where he intended ! D reside.
Information of the presence of LemRsn in the
city of New York with his slaves was: given by
one Louis Napoleon, colored man and the
slaves were taken before Judge Pain., of the
Superior Court, on a writ of habea' corpus
The slaves were declared to be free un Ger stat
ute of the State, and were sent off to Canada,
under the direction of the "philanti sopists :"
Some citizens of New York, however, nade up
the value of the slaves to Mr.. Lemm0r, and he
returned to Virginia.
{ This created much excitement in tts; State of
Virginia as MIR. Lennon had not attempted to
introduce slaves into New York, but wses mere
traveller through it. The Legislature authoriz-
ed the Governor to institute proper pr ceedings
on an appeal from Judge Paine's dec zion, and
The Attorney General was sent on to rsgue the
rase, and to carry it through the sever Courts
up to the Supreme Court Of the Unit States,
