bents of the other county offices, with

County clerk, Henry II. Smith 1868 to the

Prior to 1856, county judges, judge of pro-
bate and sheriffs were elected by the poo
pie from that date until 1850 by the legis-
lature and since then by the people.
States attorneys were appointed by the
county court until 1907 then elected by
the legislature until 1850; and since that
time by the people. The county clerk and
registers of probate have always been ap
pointed, as now, by the judges of their re-
spective courts and the state senators by
the people.

Capital Crimes in Massachusetts.

The following list compiled from the
records of the secretary of state shows the
number of persons convicted of capital Of
fences in the supreme judicial court OF
Massachusetts from the adoption of the
constitution in 1880 to the year 1875, with
the nature of the crimes and number exc
cuted, died in prison, commuted and par
doned: Convicted of murder, 70; burglary,
81 arson, g.; treason, 10; highway rob:
berry, 8; robbery, 3; rape, g.; piracy, 1
in all 1877. OF this number, 70 were exc.
cuted, 25 were pardoned. "a had sentences
commuted and died in prison. Thus il
will be seen that the number of convictions
for murder have averaged less than one a
year for period of ninety-fve years. The
convictions for treason were all of persons
engaged in the Shay rebellion, none OF
whom were executed.

Henry Wilson dies as poor in this worlds
goods as when he first entered the public
service no suspicion of a job attaches to
his name and not penny of the public
money has stuck TO his fingers-his integ-
rity was unquestioned, and 1t is something
to say this of public man in these latter
days of political degeneracy. He was
kind, affdble, and easily accessible to the
most humble of his countrymen. He was
a man of the people, capable, faithful,
honest, and as such he will be sincerely
mourned by all classes of his fellow cit
liens. The country will not soon look
upon his like again.

from Connecticut, who died at Norwalk,
Sunday, was a native of Bethel, in that
state, where he was born August Is, 1928.
He was graduate of Yale college, law
yer by profession, and had been states at
torney, judge of probate and a member of
the Connecticut state senate. After being
member of the Thirty-sixth congress, he
served during the war of the rebellion, first
as colonel and afterwards as brigadier
general. He was elected United States
senator, to succeed Lafayette 8.
Foster, and took his seat as such March
4, 1867, and was reelected in 1872, in op.
position to General Hawley the regular re-
publican candidate, receiving the entire
vote of the democracy and enough of the
republicans to elect him. He always actet
and voted with the republican party, was {
man of more than average ability and Of
conspicuous integrity. His last speech il
the senate was powerful and conyincnt
argument against the validity of Pinch
backs election. He will be succeeded by
democrat.

The postmaster general of Japan has
made his annual report from which it APP
pears that the cost of The postal service, in
that country for the year ending June 80,
was five hundred two thousand one hun
dred and ninety dollars against receipts of
three hundred fifty-two thousand two hun
bred and forty-four dollars. During the
year, five hundred and sixty-two dollars of
money and seven hundred and seventy dol
lars in postage stamps were stolen from
the postoflices, and the mails were robbed
of one thousand and eighty-five dollars
but, with the exception Of twenty-eight
dollars, the money was recovered and the
thieves confessed and punished. The post
master general, having in his minds eye
American postofices, and toreeeeing the
surprise that will be caused by his exhibit,
explains that postmasters, honorable men,
are proud to work for the government at
small pay, because understanding the
true object of the establishment of the
"postal system they deem it honorable to
voluntarily perform such duties as tend
to benefit and promote the welfare of the
"public. 1t is expected, however, that
the spirit of our people will change and
they will become mercenary." OF course
it will, and then Japan will see the beauty
of sending her young men over to this
country to be educated.

1t is reported that the administration

1t is reported that the administration is
satisfied with the decision of Chief Justice
White, dschargng Brigham Young from
custody; the attorney general being of the
opinion that "the woman in question:
that is what the administration calls Ann
Eliza--in marrying Brigham, violated the
laws of the United States and, therefore,
could not avail herself of her own wrong
by receiving alimony. This being SO, per-
haps it would look little better if Brigham
Young, tic main party to that violation OF
the laws of the United States, was prose
cuted for his crime. Why is he not sc
prosecuted THAT Is what the country
wants to know. The answer, perhaps, is
easy and is to the effect that to give
Brigham any trouble is not part OF the pro-
gramme.
