The Express finds fault with us for not publish
ing Mr.. Hiram Ketchum's late speech in full. We
really must insist on being allowed to judge what
to publish in these columns out Of the immensely OF
matter constantly pressing upon US. We printed
MI Ketchum's text and his summing up of the
case, and we confined our comments to these.
We could not have printed the entire efnsion with
out croading out news that seemed to us of more
general interest If any of our readers were
moved by what We gave to desire more of the
same sort, they know where to look for it. We
think, however, they generally had enough fit.

JUDGE FITZHVGH.

We published some time since Il communication
from Oregon, calling attention TO the fact that Nr.
Edward {. Fitzhugh, who had lately been ap-
pointed by the President one Of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court of the Territory of Washington,
was at the time Of his appointment aboring under
a charge Of murder.
The trial of Judge Fitzhugh took place on the
10th of March, before Chief-Justice McFadden,
aud report Of it in The Olympia Pioneer and
Democrat is now before Us. forwarded to us by the
Judge himself, with the request that, as an act of
Justice to him. we should transfer it to columns.
II is too long for that, but We shall accurately
state the substance of it. According to the testi
timOny of two witnesses who saw the ARRAY, a
part Of it, Wilson, the party killed, was drunk at
the time Offended at being ordered by Fitzhugh
81 his premises be challenged Fitzhugh to fight,
approached him aud seized hold Of him, just at
which moment Fitzhughs pistol went of, wounding
Wilson in the groin of which wound be afterward
died There were two other persons present at
the time, one of whom took the pistol away
Neither of these was examined at the trial.
but the declarations made at the time by
the person who took the pistol sd
mitted, TO the effect that when he took it
both parties had hold of 1t; also Fitzhugh's
declaration at the time that he did not intend to
harm Wilson, and that, in fact, Wilson shot him
self 1t was also testified that Fitzhugh, upon
going to see the wounded man, told him that, if it
had not been for his (Wilson's) folly in grasping
the pistol. il would not have gone of 1t was tes-
tilted that Fiizhugh's hand and coat-sleeve were
burnt by the powder.
The indictment would appear TO have been
based upon deposition made BY Wilson himself
previous to his death which deposition or testi.
mony as to its contents the prosecution proposed
TO introduce S. dying declaration; but the pre-
siding Judge excluded it, as not coming within the
rule The Judge instructed the Jury, on the re-
quest of the prosecuting attorney, that the pros
ecution had failed 10 make out ease either of
murder or criminal granddaughter, and the jury
acquitted the efendant at once.
We are not disposed to quarrel with this ver-
Diet though the prosecution DOES not seen to have
been very vigorously pressed AT the same time, We
must still remain Of opinion that it is not quite the
thing to appoint man as Judge who has charge
of murder hanging over him, even though that
charge may result in an acquittaL II is rather
delicate thing for the colleagues Of Judge to be
obliged to try him for murder, or anything else;
and we think it would have been more dcoorous
that the trial should have preceded the appoiat
ment A 10 the charge Of The Pioneer and Demo

The Republican majority Of the Senate of
Connecticut met in their chamber at Hart
ford on Tuesday evening, aud nominated Thaddeus
Welles of Glastonbury for President. Calvin III.
Carter for Clerk, and Day Il Clark of The Con-
rant for Printers. Those Of the House nominated
Augustus Brandegee of New-London for Speaker,
but he declined, because of the sudden death, on
Monday, Of his father, which constrained his ab.
sence for time from the House They then pro-
ceeded TO nominate Oliver II. Perry of Fairfield for
Speaker, and VIM. ". Stone of New-iiaven for
Frst Clerk; but, before proceeding to nominate
any Clerks the following resolution was introduced
and passed unanimously

voted extra compensation TO its subordinstes, as IT
had no moral and We think no legal right to do
but, of course, according TO precedent We are
disappointed in not learning that there was one

least two of them who now wish they had done so

The Associated Press think it due to the public
to state that the Nova. Scotia Telegraph Company
have, regardless of the wishes of large majority
of the leading presses of the couotry, and OF the
owners of the telegraph lines west of Novs-Scohs,
put an end to the foreign news arrangements which
baye existed during the past ten years. 1t Is I'M
derstoud that the managers # the NovaScotia line
have made secret and exclusive arrangements with
Il private party, who, there is reason to believe,
may attempt To use the European news for sPecu-
lative purposes. For the present, therefore, the
public should stand upon their guard. So soon as
the NiagaIa's Dews CONES to bapd, it will be made
public upon the boards of the journals, and
until that time commercial men must be at the
mercy Of the Nova-Scotia spectators. We have
