CHIEF JUSTICE GILFIILAN.

The appointments by Governor
Davis Of James Gil6llan, of St. Paul,
as Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court,
in place Of Judge Mcmillan resigned,
gives the greatest satisfaction. He il
in every way eminently qualified for
the position. 1t will be remembered
that he was once before appointed
Chief Justice, in 1863, to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation Of
Judge Wilson. Through certain po-
litical combinations made in the Re-
publican State Convention he was de-
feated for the nomination. The Re-
publican party will be guilty Of an
inexcusable piece Of folly if it repeats
this trick next fall-that is, it would
If it were not dead.
Judge Gilhllan was born in Scot
land in 1929. He studied law and
graduated at the State National Law
School, of Balston Spa, when he re-
moved to Buffalo, n. Y, where he
studied two years more, practicing
law in that city for four years. He
came to St. Paul in 1857. He en-
tered the army in 1862, and in 1864
was commissioned Colonel of the
Eleventh Regiment Minnesota Vol
unteers.

Washington Special ( March eth,) Ch'eos

Washington Special (Afarch eth,) Chicago
Tribune. 5s -.
Bill King arrived here this morn,
ing as mysteriously as he arrives
everywhere else. He was found in
the fourth story Of a house fronting
on Lafayette square by friend,
whom he familiarity greeted, GLOW
are you, old fellow2" The drift Of
Bill Kings story was this: BY I'D.
vice Of counsel he declined to say
anything whatever concerning his
connection with the Pacific Mail Sub.
sidy business, but he said: $50 help
me God, ! did not make any ithprop'
er use Of one dollar of the money"
He was glad to say that the Commit.
tee, as he put it, INDICATED him on
that subject. He will claim his seat
in the next Congress; will not resign
will boldly meet all charges. He
says he can fully explain the appa.
rent discrepancies as to his testimony
and can disprove the pack of lies told
against him. He was not at Buffalo
nor 1lion, nor Boston, and never bare
" escaped being caught while crossing
the Canadian border. He went tc
Canada by advice Of counsel, and also
to look after notes for stock, some o.
which had been protested, and to ex'
tend the time on others. He is going
to St. Paul to defend himself against
the suit Of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. He says the stories
that he is rich are false.

The Chicago Tribune, which is un-
usually well informed in Minnesota
politics, makes the following very
correct statement concerning an affair
Of some interest which recently occur
red in this State:
Mr.. Ramsey, of Minnesota, also gives
place 10 another Supreme Judge of long
experience, 8. J. r. Mcmillan, having
been upon the bench the same length Of
