BIOGRAPHICAL

! Mr. Carpenter was fifty-seven years
| of age, and native of Vermont He
prepared himself for the profession of
| the law in the Office of the distinguished
! Rufus Choate. He became resident
of Beloit, Wis, in 1913, aud was Dist
riot Attorney for Rock county. He re-
moved to Milwaukee IN about 1858. He
was one Of the ablcst lawyers and most
brilliant orators in the West, and was
regarded by the legal profession as in
| the very front rank OF the constitutional
lawyers of this country His first g eel
ebrated case in which he was counsel,
! was that in the quo warranto proceed
! ings in the Wisconsin Supreme Court,
wherein Bashford successfully contested
| the right of Barstow to the Office of Gov
ernor. Up to the breaking out of the
/ Southern rebellion, Mr.. Carpenter had
been a leading Democrat of Wisconsin,
but then became Republican and has
been actively identified with that party
ever since. He was elected to the Unit
ed States Senate as the successor of the
Hon. James r. Doolittle, serving the
| full term, from 1869 to 1875. He was
again elected TO the Senate as the sue
cessor of the Hon. Timothy 0. Howe, in
| 1879, four years of his term still remain
ing.
There is something more than pass
ing regret over the death of Senator
Carpenter. He was man Of genius,
a distinguished iurist and Of fine per-
sonal qualities of character that willen-
dear bis memory to thousands. lie was
distinguished as an able expounder OF
law. and as a constitutional lawyer has
probably had no equal since the days OF
Webster. He was brilliant in debate but
his oratorv was not the mere perfume OF
words: il had the substance OF ideas
clearly and fiuently expressed. As an
orator he certainly had no superior IN
the present day. He is loss TO the
councils of state as well as to Wisconsin
and il viii be long time before ne has

IMroRTANr DECISION.

The case of Geo. G. Pierce, respond
ent, vs.. S. S. Stephenson, implicated
with Betsy Shaw, ct al, appellant, was
decided in the Supreme Court Feb, 10
The action was tried in Vernon county
to foreclose mortgage given by Betsy
Shaw to Pierce and W. b. Kemball to
secure the payment of three notes to
Pierce and one to Kendall due in one,
two, three and four years respectively,
Kembalr 5 note falling due last Kem-
ball sold his note to Stephenson. Each
note contained the following condition:
:. Should any of the interest not be paid
when due, it shall bear interest at rate
of 10 per ct. per annum; a failure TO pay
any of said interest within days after
due, shall cause the whole note to be-
come due and collectible at once And
this condition is in the mortgage; "a
failure to pay any of said interest or
taxes when due shall cause this mort
gage to become due at once, and it may
thereupon be foreclosed immediately"
The circuit court decreed foreclosure;
also, that the Solicitors fees and the
costs and notes of Pierce be paid. Then
out of the surplus if any, that Shepherd
sons costs and note be paid. The prop
erty not being sufficient to satisfy the
claim Of Pierce, Stephenson appealed
to the Supreme Court to have the decis-
ion reversed and the property distribut-
ed pro rata. The case was ably argued
by E. A. and j. o. Hayes for Shepherd
son and by Prof. j II. Carpenter for
Pierce, all prominent lawyers of this
city. The Supreme Court reversed the
decision Of the Circuit Court and ordered
pro rata distribution to be made This
ease establishes new principal of equi-
ty-in this state. hence give it for the
benefit of your lawyer subscribers.

Swedsn's Exodus.

Sweden is reported to be greatly
exercised In mind over the steady
depletion of her provinces by emigra.
tlOn and no wonder. It is her mis-
fortune that by far the greater party
of her territory 10 too rugged and
cold TO yield fair return to the
sturdy people who till IL, and that
being out Of the reach. of continental
roads that lead TO anywhere in par
ticular she cannot attain to manu-
featuring prominence. Fur more
than two centuries her venturesome
spirits have been straying to America
and the reports that they have sent
back havel resulted in little Swedish
colonies being planted all over the
northern half Of the United States,
where even the rudest peasant toll
produces far more comfort for the
home than can be extracted from the
forests and recks of the mother coun.
try. Instead of attempting to re.
strict emigration, as they are said to
be contemplating, Sweden's govern
ing class should follow the example
of the peasantry and emigrate, for
they understand statecraft and are
gentlemen besides, and America is
greatly in need Of such q class IN

Forged Postal Money Orders.
HARTFORD, Conn, May "a, 1881

The Hartford Post Office on Monday
received apparently genuine advices that
SIX postal money orders for $50 each had
been drawn In favor OF Adam b. Coles,
by the office at East Liverpool Ohio, and
accompanying the advices was sigma.
ture purporting to be that of Coles. Last
night 4 letter was received from Post
Office Inspector TIbbals, at Pittsbusg,
Pa, that L. ]. Groffecently Postmas-
ter at Linton, Ohio, had been arrested
for forging large number Of orders pYr-
porting to have been issued from the
East Liverpool office, and that among
them were six on the Hartford Office,
dated May IL. Croft, it appears, had a
printing press and outfit, with which he
printed the forged orders and then filled
them out, his plan Icing to send them to
various points east, follow them up and
collect the money at each place. The
trick was, however, exposed through an
informaiity in one of the orders, which
led to Its return to the East Liverpool
Office, whose postmaster detected the
cheat aud ipformed the. Wsshington
authorities. II is know that forged
orders were sent to other Office sin this
State, including that at New Haven. -
