Mr.. Editor-l notice in your paper of Mon
day communication from worcester North"
in regard to the nominations to be made on the

communication which speaks approvingly of
our present Sheriff and District Attorney,
fully agree. With that part in regard to Coun-
ty Commissioner, not so fully. / have the adj
vantage little of Worcester North" being
acquainted both with Mr. Bigelow and Mr..
Holman, of whom he speaks that is, if he
means Amory Holman, Esq, of Bolton. While
| have no wish to dsparage Mr. Bgelow, |
would say that do not believe any qualifica-
ton can be urged for him which Gen Holman
does not eminently possess. He is a gentle
man whose judgment has been often employed
by his t0wnsmen and others in public and pri-
vate matters, and always, believe, with sat
isfaction; whose "official life" in both branch
es of the Legislature has been certainly more
than Mr. Bigelow's, and as popular; whose
cage" is uneXceptionable, and whose integrity
of character and temperate habits cannot be
impeached. He is a practical and experienced
surveyor and engineer, and in these as in all
other respects, is fully competent to perform
the duties of the office of County Commission

would change the Office from the western to
the eastern part of the county, we claim it
would be no more than just in consideration of
how much the office has been in the western,
and how hHtein the eastern part of the county
Mr.. Holman was prominent candidate before
the convention last year, and we trust he
will this year secure the nomination, feeling as
sured as we do that he will not disappoint the
expectations of those who may give him their

bondholders. Twenty-six Others, holding &c.
900, wish to be called on again. This makes
$44.550 by 1879 bondholders. Add the $1,000

The death of Senator Broderick affords
many OF our contemporaries topic for lengthy
defamation. We have no tears to shed over
his grave. He assented in advance to the
bloody and murderous code in strict accordance
with which he fell. Better, infinitely better,
for him TO have died on the field, than to have
lived, like his murderer with the brand of
! Cam on his forehead, and fly ing for momen-
Stary relief from the sight of his fellow men !
Whatever satisfaction it may afford to repeat
the record of his peronal virtues, and to cover
his disgraceful death with every excuse n
correct life may justify, justice to the living,
and obedience to good morals demand that ap-
probation of anything like chivalry or manly
daring should be stripped from the duelist,
whether he escapes or falls. His violent and un-
timely death will berecorded with sorrow wher-
ever his name and his personal courage were
known, and wherever the cause to which he
devoted the later months of his life has been
advocated. But there was nothing in the man
ner of his death, or in the causes which led to
1t, mt to excite the praise or the admiration of
any one. Judge Terry will go through the
world without knowing the satisfaction of
friendship, or the esteem of good men and
charity alone can afford mantle broad enough
to cover the grave of his victim. Guided by
higher impulses, and controlled by better prin-
ciples, there was an admirable field in Califor-
ma for the exercise of the virtues of disposition
and character which Mr.. Broderick possessedin
an eminent degree. He chose rather to sacrifice
them all in obedience to false estimate of
honor, and for the sake of gratifying the bad
impulse of revenge.
