Our Jacksonlan Governor.

The admirers of Governor Plaisted
praise him for his alleged Jacksonian
qualities, although most people think he
bears a stronger resemblance to another
kind of a Jack, which is equally stubborn
and equally impervous to reason. For
example, it has been impossible to con-
vince him that he is not a dictator, but
simply the Governor of Maine, possessing
no greater powers than those who have
preceded him in this office. He cannot
he made to comprehend that the Supreme
Court of the State or the laws of State
are of the slightest consequence. but
coolly ignores them when they stand in
the way OF his usurpations. There is
nothing new in his last performance.
The principle, or want Of it, is the same
that Garcelon x Co acted upon in count
ing in a Legislature not elected by the
people What Garcelon & Co. did in Vi
olation Of law, COY. Plasted has done
under cover of the law.
BY reason of the change to biennial
elections a number OF vacancies Will oc-
cur in the county offices at the close of
this year. The appointments to fill
these vacancies deyolve upon the Cover
ner. The most natural and proper thing
to do would be to reappoiDt the officers
who had been elected to these positions
by the people. But perhaps that is the
reason why Gov. Plaisted, instead of pur-
suing this course, which must have met
with the approval of all tairminded per
sons, has proceeded to make new appoint
ments, with two exceptions, all from his
own party, and some of them men who
had been defeated at the polls fer these
very positions. That the Council will
"advise and CONSENT to these appoint
ments was of course not expected 10y
Gov. Paisted or his followers. The Gov
ernor only wanted another opportunity
to exhibit his jack-Jacksonian traits
and presumably cares nothing for the
consequences, 50 far as the interests of the
people are concerned. The outcome of
this matter is thus indicated by the Lew
iston Journal
The result probably will be that for the next
twelve months, most if not all. the fifteen coun
ties IN the State will get with a slightly di
nlnished force Of County Commissioners An
droscoggin, Hancock and Somerset are the only
counties in which vacancies occur in the Office OF
Sheriff and in these eases the law makes admra-
bic provisions for Jacksonan crises. There are
but three vacancies in the office OF Clerk Of
Courts The Courts provide in part tol any
difficulties arising from shortage of clerks.
There is but vacancy in the office Of County
Attorney-and that in Franklin county, and the
Court can there be Of material assistance

1881.

The year fast drawing to a close has
been one Of unexampled prosperity. All
trades and industries have tiourished.
Business of all kinds has prospered.
Even shipbuilding, which threatened to
become one of the lost arts, has been re-
yived. Although crops were less abund-
ant than in 1880, the farmers as a class
have little cause for complaint The tide
of emigration has added largely to the
Nations wealth, present and prospective

zens brought with them, and prospective

not only has the emigration Of this year
| been larger than ever before, but that it
| has contained greater proportion OF the
| better class-skilled artisans and expert
enced farmers and stock raisers. The
railroads have been greatly multiplied,
in part to open up country for the new
corners, and also to meet the demands Of
general business activity. The work OF
construction is still going on, and it is ex-
pected that 10000 miles of road will be

Michigan has been terribly stricken with
fire. In some sections the season has
been one of unusual drouth In New
York city, Washington and Richmond
there were serious apprehensiOns of a
water famine. Disastrous floods visited
the western and southwestern sections Of
the country, scattering widespread ruiz
in their path. Hurricanes and cyclones
have devastated larger sections of land,
and severe gales have swept the coasts.
Marine disasters have been numerous.

This brief summary, it must be admit
ted, tends to diminish the satisfaction
with which we can look upon the nation
al record for 1881. But when all the cir
cumstances are taken into consideration
the vast extent of territory, the sparse
ly settled sections where the work of civil
ization has but just begun, the incen-
tives to crime which exist in this as in al
other countries-we have little cause fol
dependency, and much to be Thankful
for.

Wendell Phillips opposes capital pun
ishment ia an article contributed to the
North American Review. His argument
is certainly not strengthened by his refer
ences to the Guiteau trial. He says the
feeling against this miserable assassin, as
evidenced by the tone Of the press, ispure-
ly one Of revenge and that if Guteau is
hanged 't will be blot upon the JUS
tice of the American people, which, prob
ably within five years, men would do any
thing to erase" SO far as the press is
concerned it has, with practically a unan-
imous voice, demanded that the assassin
be granted a full and fair trial, and has
condemned the attempts to put an un-
lawful end to the murderer's existence
AS to Mr.. Phillips second proposition, we
believe it will be blot upon the justice
of the American people if Guiteau is al
lowed to go unhanged. That is the law
full punishment prescribed for the crime
of which he is undoubtedly and confess
edly guilty, and we know of no reason
why an exception should be made in his
case
