conclusive. France is Mt the feet OF Ffus-

4 REFORMED DESPERADO.

Edward Norton the most noted criminal in
the State of New Jersey, whose name was for
years the terror of Trenton and the surround
ing country, has just been pardoned on the ex-
piration of half the term for which he WAS
sentenced. Norton has for long time been
the principal object OF interest to persons WIS.,
ting the State Prison. In 1866, when "A
years old, he was found guilty by fourteen
juries, on as many indictments, without SIM
gle recommendation to mercy; and the ex-
tent Of his sentences, could they have been
inflicted, would have been imprisonment for
1870 years and fines amounting to over $l2 600.
The Court at this his last trial, sentenced him
to 30 years Imprisonment. On hearing his
sentence, he arose and called down such curses
upon the Judge as made every person in the
crowded courtroom shudder. This was in
January, 1856. For five years this man was
the terror of his keepers, as he had been of
the citizens. Scarcely had he been confined
when he succet ded in escaping from his cell,
| and Selling large knife, forced an entrance
into the front corridor, where he barricaded
himself and proposed to fight his way out.
So greatly did the authorities fear him that
ithout any attempt to recapture him, he was
deliberately shot down by Deputy-Keeper,
who aimed rifle through the iron bars divid.
ing the corridors. He was then placed in close
confinement a ball and chain were attach,
to his legs, and he was closely guarded Yet
he twice escaped and returning to his old
haunts, spread fear through the city. For five
| years he was chained down and guarded.
Ten years ago he professed to have come
under the influences OF religion. His conduct
soon won for him the confidence of his keep
| ers, and all the liberties of the prison were
given him. His known daring gave him au-
thoIiry with the other prisoners. In 1868 a
portion of the lnson was burn. d, and in the
confusion the DOORS were thrown open, and
the prisoners thronged into the yard An at
tack was organized, the prisoners agreeing to
| force an escape. AT this ju cture only the
presence and authority Of Norton prevented
| terrible massacre. The prisoners were armed
with implements from the shops, and the 500
desperate. men could have easily muir
dered the handful OF keepers opposed to Them
had 1t not been for the superior daring and
determination Of Norton, This act probably
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1871-01-27

secured him his pardon. From that time his
position has been almost that of deputy
keeper. In October last the Court of Pardons
granted him pardon upon the expiration OF
halt his sentence, which took place on the 10Th
of this month. During the last ten years, al
the money he has been able TO earn by work
ing over hours, amounting to several hundred
dollars, has been given to the support of an
aged mother whom his disgrace has nearly
killed. The first thing Norton did after being
freed was to walk up State street to the house OF
Chief Justice Green, who had passed sentenc
upon him, and upon whom he had called down
such terrible curses. He requested to see tn,
judge, and on being admitted begged his par
don, and stated his intention of living thor
oughly reformed life. The Judge greeted him
cordially. 1t is Norton's intention to entel
into business in another State.

We have assumed 10000 rs the proba-
bic ratio of representation under the new
Census; u higher would reduce the num-
Der of Electoral Votes, rs lower would
increase it, but neither would materially
affect the majority.
Missouri was not carried by the Demo-
Gratis in 1870, but by the Sehurz and Gratz
Brown Republicans; but We assume that
enough of these will probably go clear
over to put the State against us in II.
We trust they will get sick Of their strange
company, and come back in season fol
-.
Connecticut was carried by the Demo
Gratis in the April State Election of '6o,
but went Republican in the ensuing Pres
idcntial contest, and she probably will in
~.
Oregon went Democratic in 1879 by &
far smaller majority than at her State
Election of S. yet, when She came To
vote for President, she gave Seymour but
l6I majority over Grant while California
(also Democratic in her preceding State
Election) went for Grant by 5l4 majority.
We regard both of them, with Nevada, as
very doubtful for1o72.
Virginia, Indiana, and Alabama, were
barely carried Democratic in 20, and may
all be recovered upon the full vote always
cast for President. SO may North Caro-
lima, especially if the Democracy turn
Gov. Holden out of office. rs they are
quite likely to do.
Of the States we have placed in the Re
publican column, only Pennsylvania,
Florida, and Arkansas, are at all question:
ble Arkansas gave some 1000 Republi-
can majority on Congress, though we
threw away two of the three Representa-
tives in Congress by personal feuds
but the Legislature is very strongly
Republican. Pennsylvania was close
on the popular vote last October, but if a
fair allowance is made for the districts dis
tracted by personal feuds, there is Re-
publican majority. Florida is disputed,
but Republican by close vote.
We drifted astern much further in 'G2
than in 70, but more Than recovered our
lost ground when we came to Presidcn-
tial year. when almost every legal voter
comes to the front. We purpose to repeat
the dose in lS72.-New Io,k Tribune.

only what was generally anticipated. The
disasters which the French armies suffered
IN the recent battles were significant OF
the nearness Of the final catastrophe.

The Maine Standard from asserting that
Senator Morrill, did not love" prohibition
land treated it with contempt" now en-.
deavors to skulk out of its false position
and libel upon Mr. Morrill,, by inquiring if
it was not right in saying that while he
was Governor he took no steps to establish
State Police.
In what issue of the paper the Standard
said this we are at a loss to know certain
ly not in the article to which we took ex-
cepuon. But admitting that it did in its
ignorance say such thing, the plain
answer is that the State Police question
was not raised while Mr. Morrill, was
Governor. but came into existence and
public agitation alter he left the executive
chair AS the child was not born we do
not see how he can be held accountable
in the promises. Certainly the Standard
would be quite right in saying Chad it
done SOY that he took no steps TO establish
State Police, for neither had the tenn
perance party nor anybody else at that
time.
