DEATH OF JUDGE TRIGG.

Hon. O. F. Trieg, judge OF the
United States district court for the
eastern and middle district of Ten
nessee, die1 ut his residence In Sulii,
van county, Sunday evening, at 8
O'Clock. His death was not unex~
pected, as he has been seriously III,
without hope of recovery, as was un-
derstood, for several weeks. But he
bad many warm friends here and
elsew here, who will regret to hear of
his death.
Judge Trigg was native of Wash.
ipgton county, Virginia, where he
resided up to about 1855 or 1857. when
he moved to Knoxville. He read
and practiced raw there, successfully,
for several years. He was also a
prominent whig politician, and served
several times on the whig electoral
ticket. He was also a can
didate for congress at one
time, and, although his district
was overw helmipgy democratic, he
came within q few votes of an elec~
tion. He was exceedingly popular,
and being an impsssioned and v'gor-
Gus stump speaker, he was always
stronger than his party.
Upon removing to Knoxville. or
soon after. he formed law partners
ship with ex. Chancellor o. P. Temple,
and was regarded as one OF the leading
advocates at the Knoxville bar, then
one OF the strongest in the state, He
continued to praclice law uniil the
beginning OF the lac war. In 1851
when the question OF convention to
take Tennessee out OF The Union was
voted upon by the people, Judge rr gs
was el.c cd TO the convention on the
Union ticket, as delegate from Kn, K
and Sewer counties. Tue state voted i.
however, at the same time against
holding q convention, and 1t was
never held. He was leading
unionist, and by his eIoque Mt aud inn
passioned appeals to East Tennesseaus,
did much to crystaiize the national
union sentiment which existed, aud
for which This section was afterwards
Distinguish
In December. 1881, or about that
time, the delay of the federal army In
reaching Knoxville having made it
unpleasant for men Of his pronounced
views and prominence to remain here,
Judge Trigg left here, crossed the Cum-
berland mountains, and took refuge
within the union lines. In 1852. he
was appointed district judge fIr the
district of Tennessee by President
Lincoln, a position he has held ever
since up to his death. Before the
war closed he organized the federal
courts in Tennessee, and his courts
were crowded, for years, with cases
growing out of the war. He was nat
urally kind-hearted man, and while
com plants have been made by some
that he was not vigorous enough, no
one ever charged him with being OPP
pressive or tyrannical. Through the
kindness of his heart, the lightest pun
ishment possible, under the circum-
stances and the laws, as he Interpreted
them, were ibfiicted. He was a genial
mpanion aud was much beloved by
his associates. He was in his list
year, and under the laws OF congress
might have retired from the bench
this year on iull pay. His remaius
will be Inferred at Abingdon, Vngiuia,
his old home, where his youth vi days
were spent, 10. morrow.
