Death of judge Norton.

From the Chicago Journal. 4tA.-.
Hon. Jesse o. Norton died last night at
his residence on Greenwood avenue, Hyde
Park, FROM the gastric fever with which he
had suffered during many weeks past
The people of the whole state will be sad
dened by this intelligence. for the genial
character as we'll as the learning and integ-
ritv Of the departed had given him warm
place in the hearts of the people OF the en-
tire state of Illinois.
Judge Norton was born in Bennington,
VT, in 1912, was educated at Yale, came
west, went to Missouri, finally settled in
Joliet, Will county, where his legal attain
ments attracted attention, and gave him "a
high standing in his profession. In IS47.
he was elected member of the constitu-
tional convention, aud took bold and
manly stand against the proposition to ex,
clude negroes from the state. la 1850 he
was ELECTED to the legislature, and took a
prominent part in the deliberations of that
body. In 1852 he was first elected to COL
gress, aud re elected in 1854. He made
an eloquent speech ainst the Nebraska
bill, for which he received a high compli-
ment from Senator Douglas He also as
sisted materially in the movement which
gave about $2,000,000 worth CT swamp
lands to the state, and favored the APP
preparation of 100000 for the deepen
ing of the Illinois and Michigan canal, but
the measure was lost in the senate. In
1857 he was elected Judge of the circuit
court, in which position he served until
the summer of 1861. He declined a re-
election.
1t will be remembered that it was be-
fore him that the celebrated Burch divorce
suit was tried In Dupage county. While
presiding he displayed very high order
of judicial ability. In 1862 he was once
more elected to congress, Appointed by
President johnson United States district
attorney for Northern Illinois, he came to
Chicago and held that Office until 1868,
when he entered into law partnership
with Senator Doolittle, the firm being
Doolittle & Norton, with Mr.. Frank l.
Chase and j. r. Doollttle, Jr., as juniors.
The fire dissolved the partnership. Mayor
Colvin appointed Judge Norton corpora
ton counsel, position which he filed un-
| til failing induced him to resign,
| He subsequently resumed the active du.
ties of his profession, which he followed
up to the time of his last illness. At the
bar, as citizen and as man, Judge Nor.
ton ranked among the first. He easily
surrounded himself by his affectienate ma
ture with many firm friends, and his ac-
knowledged ability won for him the re
spect of all men. Judge Norton leaves 9
widow and three daughters,

Some Evidence of Repentance.

Justice Pinkley. now that THE ARGUS
has posted him in regard to how much he
was entitled to receive as one of the
town auditing board, says he is willing to
pay back into the town treasury the
amount which he has taken illegally at
each meeting of the town board, if Sup'r
Krell calls on him for it. 1t is not very
likely that Krell will do any such thing,
for Krell helped vote it to himself as we'll
as to Pinkley and the other members.
Pinkley pretends to be a conscientious
member of the Methodist church. He,
and Krell, and Chopper, and Beardsley,
know that they have money in their peck
cts which belongs to the people, 1t is
their duty to return it to the peoples treas
ury. They know, too, that they have al
lowed other and enormous bills for which
there is no authority Of law for allowing.
What are they going to do about it?
