The 'Ehorndikc Murderer.

The last act connected with the trial OF
John T. Gordon, the Thorndkc murderer,
took place Tuesday at Belfast. Maine. At
o'clock the prisoner was brought into
court. County Attorney Foelcr, in the
absence Of the attorney general, moved
that sentence be pronounced. In reply to
an inquiry by Judge Dickerson if he had
anything to say in his behalf, Gordon, in a
firm voice and without any apparent emo
ton, spoke substantially IA follows II
am not guilty, III the first place, although
circumstances, evidence and false witness
es are all arrayed against me, and, al
though there are doubts about the exist

who committed the murder, and who was
seen by more than one person in Thorn

with me, might go back and review the
relationship which existed between my
brother, his wife and family. and myself.

lady with whom | was keeping company,

full evidence enough to grant me new tri-

life has been distorted to great extent,
even after the murder was committed.

about the murder Public sentiment has
been strong against me. If you feel in

Judge Dickerson, in s,lemn and i'm
pressive manner, then sentenced the pris-

A Terrible EHoinicide i'm New JcrAcy.

The township of Reayillc. llunlcrdon

qucncc Of "A cold-bloOdcd and deliberate

crime was committed, several days elapsed
before the particulars Of the affair became

Morocco, Cruises half brother, finding all
efforts to restore animation futile, cXclaim-

house, and arming himself with a carving
knife, started off in search Of the supposed
murderer, accompanied by negro named
George Thompson. They soon found the
fugitive concealed in cedar grove about
half mile from the hut, and Morocco at
once attacked him, and after beating him
severely stabbed him with the knife in.

the national House of Representatives, to
the effect, that the speaker shall not enter

after the journal is read, and then only on

that is allowing the rules to be suspended
during the last ten days Of the session
Most Of the measures, which have proved
so obnoxious to the country, have passed
during these last ten days-the larger pro-
portion thereof under suspension Of the
rules, Many instances of this might be
noted, but it is sufficient to refer to the in
crease OF salary act, with its3 retroactive
clause, which was rushed through the
House and Senate in the closing hours Of
the last dayof the last Congress. Tuesday,
an amendment to the rule was reported
from the committee upon that subject,
not essentially changing the rule, but re-
quiring that motion to suspend shall be
seconded by majority before it shall be
considered by tho House. 1t would seem
to the uninitiated that this was matter of

thirds ma ority can be found to vote for q

may be obtained to second a motion for that

is difficult TO see how there can be any dis

years ago, law was passed by Congress
and approved by the President, limiting the
amount of treasury notes, or grccnhacks, TO
four hundred millions of dollars. This. of
course, fixed the maximum amount for the
time being. Subsequent to this, another
bill passed through Congress and received
the approval of the President, thus becom-
ing law, reducing the amount, and fixing
it at three hundred and iifty-siX millions of

and is now being again used. The effect
of this is to give to a single man the right
to initiate the currency of the country TO the
amount of forty-four millions Of dollars.
When the currency has been SO inflated,
and the country has settled itself down to
doing business on this basis, then this same

amount of currency. 1t is a dangerous
power to place in the hands of any man,

be claimed. Here are two acts of Congress,
on the same subject, the provisions of which

The New Chici Justicc.

The following sketch of Hon. Morrison
Il. Waite, is from the Norwich Conn. }
Bulletin of Tuesday; with Ohio, Con-
nccticut is honored by the choice. Our
own county was his birthplace, and our
own city contains many whose intimacy
with Mr.. Waite, through ties of blood and
friendship, had taught them long before
the country began to know and honor him,
which his great qualities as lawyer, stu
dent, and heightened gentleman were
Mr. Waite was till recently, an unknown
man, at least throughout the country. In
his own state, and more especially in his
own town, he has been regarded for some
years as u lawyer of far more than average
ability Appointed by the President to as
sist Gen. Gushing and William NJ Eyarts
as counsel for our government before the
Geneva Board of Arbitration his name was
Swallowed by the then greater fame of his
two associates. Not so when he finished
his labors there, for by an argument of al
most unequaled power, force, and clearness
nc attracted the general attention of the
country, and was speedily thereafter ac-
knowledged as one of the leading legal
lights of the land, Those who had known
Mr.. Waite, however, previous to this
were prepared for the brilliant effort
he then made. More recently, as Presl-
dent of the Ohio Constitutional Conyen-
ton, he has still further added to his
reputation. AS lawyer. Mr.. Waltc's
qualifications for the high position are un-
questioned. Possessed of mind keenly
logical, his early training developed still
more strongly its powers. His father was
eminent as lawyer, and an honored chief
justice of our highest state court. But by
a lifelong and intense application to the
study he was by nature and training so ad-
mlrably fitted for, by and an extensive
practice at the Ohio bar, he has perfected

A Css1EF JUSTICE East.

The supreme court of the United States
has, at last. chief justice; Morrison X.
Waite. of ONO. having been, practically,
unanimously confirmed by the Senate in
executive session, Wednesday. He received
the votes Of republicans and democrats
alikc-a tribute rarely paid to IA man SO
little known as he was. He received the
votes of siXty-thrcc Senators "a full Senate
consisting of seventy-four members while
there were nine absent and two vacancies.
If we may judge by the reputation the
new chief-iustice attained at the Geneva
award, his flattcring standing at the Ohio
bar, and the enthusiastic manner in which
the intelligence OF his nomination was re-
ceiYed by the Ohio constitutional cOnven-
ton, Of which he is president, we may say
that he is emphatically the right man in the
right place 1t sad, moreover, that the
associate judges received notice Of his APP
pointmcnt with satisfaction and approx =
ton. # is often said that American
families degenerate; that the talents of the
father do not descend to the son and that,
certainly, in the third generation, there is
no trace OF the character and talents of the
ancestor. Many families are pointed out
to Illustrate this and, as a general rule,
there Is much Of truth to it. But there are
many exceptions to the general rule. which
may, after all, only tend to prove the rule.
On the other hand, the Adams family has
been often referred to, as one in which the
family trait Of craftsmanship has been
transmitted for -four generations, at least
and it is as yet, too early to predict as to
the fifth John Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Charles Francis Adams, and two
sons Of the latter, John Quincy and Charles
Francis. jr., show this in four generations.
So, too, the Waite family may he taken as
judicial family, Morrison II. Waite being
the second chief Justice of the family and,
if wc mistake not, the third Judge in regu-
lar succession from father to son and
grandson. Those who knew the present
chief justice in his earlier days, say that
mantle of the father and grandfather have
descended to the son and grandson. We
have every reason to believe that we have
the fright man in the right place AMI it
is certainly, no drawback that he was
born, bred and always lived in a judicial
atmosphere,

with a population of forty millions, the

AFTERNOON.

The llrsl paper was read by DIR, T.. L..
Sturteyant of South birmingham, Mass.
on milk, in connection with breeds, and
qualities of butter and cheese, detailing
the results OF some elaborate experiments
made by him on the milk of herds of differ
ent breeds.
Considering the typical breed of COWS,
he SAID the Short-hOrn, massive and square
is the type for cheap and abundant meat
and the Ayrshire for cheap and abundant
milk. Considering the typical udder we
find the Ayrshire with glands 1atlened
teats short, small and cylindrical rather
than cone shaped; the Jersey with cone
shaped teais the lIolstein glands elongated,
and teats elongated cones.
The relative proportions of butter,
cheese, water, etc, in milk, were indicated
by cubes, exhibited by the speaker. Breed
determines the proportion of butter and
cheese to large extent, The milk globuc
of the Jersey is larger than others that of
the Ayrshire intermediate between the
Jersey and H0lsten that Of the latter
smallest and fewer in number. DR.. Stur-
teyant divided the Ayrshire into two fam
lies, one especially fitted for butter, the
other for cheese. AS to color, the butter
from the Jersey COW is highest, having a
tint OF orange; the Ayrshire yellow; the
Hostein paler
In keeping qualities the Holstein is supe-
nor Experiments showed that of the
three Kinds kept under like conditions In Il
warm place, the butter from Jersey cows
was rancid and mouldy in seven weeks
that the Ayrshire less rancid, that from the
Dutch little injured. All kept long enough
for practical purposes.
