In 1s49, the gold fever having broken
out, he went to San Francisco, where
he opened q law Office and was one OF
the party that founded Marysville, be.
coming tho first alcalde of that place.
This Office he held until the organiza.
ton of the judiciary under tho constitu.
ton of the state.
He served in the legislature from
Yuba county the first year after Cali.
fornia was admitted into the Union: In
1857 he was elected judge of the su.
preme court of California. When in
September, 1869, Chief Justice David S.
Terry resigned, Field succeeded him
and filled that Office until appointed to
the supreme bench as war Democrat
by President Abraham Lincoln in 1858.
In 1880 he was placed in nomination by
his supporters for the presidency at the
Cincinnati convention Of the Demo.
cratic party, receiving 65 votes ON the
first ballot. In 1873 he was appointed
by the governor of California a member
of a commission to examine the code of
laws of that state and prepare amend
ments.
The Killing Of Judge Terry.
It was in 1889 that the dramatic kill
ing of Judge Terry-the same who was
succeeded by Field as chief justice Of
California-took place. Judge Terry
had married the notorious woman Sarah
Althea Hill. She had long been en-
gagged in litigation over the estate of
Senator Sharon Of California, whose
wife she claimed to be. Terry had
acted as her counsel before his marriage
to her and was very much incensed at
Justice Fields decision that the mar
riage contract produced by the woman
was 2 forgery. 49,
In Superior Judge Sullivan's court q
favorable verdict had been given to her,
and when Justice Field reversed this
decision she tried to shoot him in court
and for this was promptly arrested.
Terry drew q bowie knife in order to
prevent her arrest, and both were sent
to prison. When they were released,
they were desperate and practically de-
and threatened Justice Fields
life openly.
Deputy Marshal ~ y Protector.
His friends warned him that the Ut
most caution was necessary on his part,
and, accordingly, Deputy United States
Marshal Nagle, acting under. instruc-
tions from the attorney general Of the
United States and Marshal Franks,
accompanied Field wherever he went.
At Lathrop, CAL, while Justice Field
was breakfasting, Terry approached
him and without warning assaulted him
from behind. Nagle was at hand and
very promptly shot Terry, killing him
instantly. Both Deputy Marshal Nagle
and Justice Field were arrested, but
in the way Of punishment ever
came of the arrest.
Justice Field was not married until
he had passed the 40-year limit by sew
eral years, when he wooed and won
Miss Swearingen, the daughter of his
California landlady. They had no chill
dren.
Justice Field retired from the su-
preme bench Dec. /, 1897, his term of
service on that tribunal being the long
est on record. He was succeeded by
Attorney General McKenna, also Of
California.

ISLAND PoND, JANUARY 20.
Senator Ross.

The appointment of Judge
Ross to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Senator
Morrill, seems to be quite fortu-
nate. At this particular time
the country requires men in the
Senate of legal ability and states
manship; men who have been
accustomed to study the funda-
mental laws of the country and
who are up in the history
and workings of our system.
1t requires patient, cool, per-
sistent and working men who
will study the new problems
now presented to the coun-
try and who will act indus
triously and vigorously and yet
conservatively. Judge Ross
long industrious service on the
bench, his acquired facility i'll
dealing with public questions,
and especially those that arise
out of the legal condition OF
things, as we'll as his calm and
unruffled disposition and meth,
DDS, and his freedom from cur
rents of public excitement GER
tainly seem to suggest him as the
man for the time and place. AnC
if he is placed there with the pur
pose of continuing him as Ions
as he shall be regarded as ith,
best man for the position it il
well. But if it is with an,
design to clear the ring for ;
persona! performance the Stat
will be embroiled in the bitteres
personal contentious which ar
frequent and uncomfortable
enough without being sough
and deliberately planned.

cline or retrogression of late in
the quality of congressional rep
resentation. The passing away
ofveterans like Mr.. Morrill, and
the virtual withdrawal from
public lie OF such distinguished
men as Mr.. Edmunds are mat
tiers of course to be regretted, but
their places are being taken by
men of greater energy and larger
ambition, if not of equal ability.
There is certainly qualification
in knowing that large proper
ton ofourpublic men are country
boys who have secured their edu-
cation under great difficulties

Looking on the staid and
sturdy people of Vermont one
would think at first glance that
each was so engrossed in his life
purposes and occupations as to
give no thought to personal am
hitions, much less to be possessed
of a feverish desire for promi-
hence. Such is the general every
day appearance of the people of
Vermont. But let a vacancy oc-
cur, and the ground in almost
unnumbered localities is alive
with candidates. Every locality
of any Importance has just the
right man and some of them a
half dozen, more or less, and the
location of each is just exactly
right. And so the governor is
overwhelmed with personalcon-
siderations, reminders of party
considerations, and every other
inducement that can be invented
or thought of. So intense is the
pressure that the chief magis-
trate feels compelled to with
draw from the fierce persistency
of different followings and ap-
point a man who has taken no
part in the scramble for the place.
Now this was probably the
wisest thing to do. But if as
has been suggested the appoint
ment has been made with any
understanding that the ap-
pointee is expected to continue
only until the next session of the
legislature it presents situation
somewhat new for it is but the
preparation OF a purely personal
squabble for the position hereaft-
er. Men and not principles will
be involved in the contest. The
men stand alike probably in re-
iation to all the governmental
issues before the country. The
contestants have been vieing
with each other already to see
who should most zealously ex-
hibit devotion to the new learn,
ing. So that it is reduced to a
purely personal matter and the
State will soon be embroiled in
an individual contention which
involves no issue relating to the
methods of conducting the gov,
eminent. This to say the least is
unfortunate.

VermOnt'S New Senator

is Jonathan Ross, chief justice of
the Supreme Court of the state,
who resigned the place in order
to go to the upper House at
Washington. He is a man of
marked ability, which suggests
the fact that all of the New Eng
land representation in Congress
for many years back has been of
a signally high character. The
New England States. like many
of those in the South, have the
habit of keeping their senators
and representatives in Congress
instead of changing them every
term or two, as we do here
abouts, and that, of course, in.

ence and efficiency. We are not of
