The BUCKFIELD TRAGEDY.-The jury of in
quest on the death of Michael Brigham have
given their verdict and exonerate Thomas s.
Brigham from any intention of shooting him.
They say the death was by "mschance." We
learn from private letter of L. S. BRIGHAM
that he had no quarrel with the deceased at
the time he was shot. He says he never gave
him cross word. During the winter he had
been irritable and savage at times, and once
came at Thomas with pitchfork in the barn.
He has often been abusive to the female mem
bers of the family, and the day previous to his
death he had taken the tongs and a stick of
wood threatening to drive the wife of Thomas
from the house. About o'clock Saturday
evening, when Michael was shot, Thomas said
to him he hoped he would not do so again,
speaking very pleasantly to him. He said
calmly that he was an old ms and one of the
family. Thomas said yes, and that he had al
ways treated him as such. Then instantly he
became enraged, and seized a chair and drove
Thomas into q bedroom, shutting the door
and then opening it. Thomas told him he had
a revolver, thinking CT Fighting him, and
stepped over the door sill. The sight of the
revolver only enraged him the more when he
struck with the chair heavy blow, knocking
the revolver from the hand of Thomas, who
who soon picked it up, when another blow was
gwen and the pistol was discharged, the ball
entering his body Just above the groin on the
left side. He fell and spoke not. Thomas
says he has no recollection of cooking the pis-
toll. and how it was discharged he knows not.
Michael was sixty three years old and grand
uncle of Thomas.

Gov. FrNroN's message, which was deliver

ed yesterday, devotes nearly two columns 70
the discussion of the question of finance.
The State debt, over and above the amount
in the sinking fund, is SAL 592. The Gov
ernor holds that all departments of business
and enterprise are prosperous. The amount
OF tax paid to the general State, county and
town Governments by the people Of the State
of New York is put down at about $25 per
head. The real estate of the State has in-
creased in value over thirteen per cent. in five
years The entire value of real and personal
property in the State is put down at $3.50, 000,-
coo.
The Governor goes into a lengthy argument
on the necessity of sustaining the public credit
in regard to the public debt. His arguments
on this point are opposed to McCulloch's poll
cy of contraction, and argues against attempts
at a forced payment of any portion of the
debt, but for the postponement of both until
some future day. when the country has recu-
perated and labor is relieved from many of its
burdens.
The receipts from the canals from all sources
are u little over $4O00O00, of which over
81 600 have been paid out for maintenance.
A little over SoO0,OOO OF the war claims of the
State against the General Government has
been adjusted in the last year. The system Of
special legislation, which has grown to such
an enormous extent is strongly condemned by
the Governor. The question of education and
common schools is treated at some length, and
the Legislature asked to apply remedy for
the evils experienced in over-crowding the
schools in New York city.
The message closes with over one column
devoted to State and national interests on DO
litcaI questions generally. Under this head
negro suffi age is fatty endorsed and the poll
cy OF permitting the negroes of the South 10
exercise the elective franchise fully sustained
In reference to the condition Of the Southern
States at the close of the rebellion he holds
about the same views as Thad. Stevens.

The ENGLISH MINIsTER.-Mr Edward
Thornton, or Count Casilhas as he is author
lied to call himself everywhere outside of
Great Britain, will soon arrive in this coun-
try, clothed with power to open anew the sub
ject of the Alabama claims, upon which the
two governments are now at a dead lock.
According to the Washington Chronicle it is
understood that the delay in filling the va
cancy at Washington, caused by the sudden
and regretted death of Sir Frederick Bruce was
caused by a slight pecuuiary circumstance.
The diplomatic representatives of the United
Kingdom are variously remunerated accord
ing to the relative Importance of the country
to which they are accredited. Thus. the Min
lister to France receives $4,000 year; to Aus
tria, Turkey and China $4,000 each; to Prus-
STA, $4,000; to Spain, Persia, and Italy, $4,000;
to the United States, e4,5OO; to Brazil and
Portugal, 1000, and so on graduating lower
according to the dimished relative standing of
each country. The desire to place Mr. Thorn
ton, usually considered a very safe as well as
sagacious diplomatist, as Queen Victoria's
representative in the United States, and the
fact that the Importance of the mission of this
country has very greatly and rapidly increas-
of late years, has led, it is saidd, to an
augmentation of the British Minister'S salary
here from $500 TO about $4,000 per annum.
Even this is less than the remuneration at
Berlin, where the salary is the same, but the
cost of living is,nuch less, and there is a
handsome residence, the property of the Brit
ish crown provided for the Minister rent free
and richly furnished.
