JUDICIAL RECORD.
The scales of justice were first poised in the old government mill, on the second Monday in July, 1849, by Hon. Bradley B. Meeker, Circuit Judge by appointment of Gov. Ramsey : Taylor Dudley. clerk of the court, Franklin Steele, foreman of the grand jury. The session lasted one week. The first session after the organization of the county, was held in a small house afterwards oc- cupied by Anson Northup. This was in 1852. Sweet W. Case was clerk of the court, Dr. Alfred E. Ames, foreman of the grand jury. The ses- sion was short, only two or three indictments being found. and these quashed by the judge. Following this, in the order given, were Judges A. G. Chatfield. M. Sherburne, Chas. E. Flan- drau, James Hall, Edward O. Hamlin, Chas. E. Vanderburgh, and A. II. Young. Judge Van- derburgh was elected in 1859, and has since filled the office. Should he continue until the expira- tion of his present term. it would make for him twenty-eight consecutive years. Judge Young was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Hennepin county. in May, 1872, by Gov.

HISTORY OF HENNEPIN COUNTY.
CHAPTER XXXV.
WAR RECORD OF HENNEPIN COUNTY -TAKEN FROM THE ADJUTANT GENERAL > REPORT. AFTER THE SAME HAD BEEN CAREFULLY SCRUTINIZED AND CORRECTED BY RESIDENT MEMBERS OF THE SEVERAL COMPANIES.
The date of the organization of the First Reg- iment of Minnesota Volunteers. April. 1861. will indicate the enthusiasm of the state in re- sponding to the call of the country for defenders. April 12th had heard the first gun at Fort Sum- ter: April 13th had witnessed the surrender of the fort : April 14th. Abraham Lincoln had issued his famous proclamation calling for 75,000 men, more than enough, we all felt sure. to wipe out every vestige of rebellion.
Minnesota. one of the youngest daughters in the family of states, comes to the front in April. and organizes her first regiment. Indeed. this regiment did not furnish places enough for men. wishing to enlist as privates, to show their patri- otism. The country was electrified by seeing this regiment of stalwart men. moving to the front in June. coming from a state of which many citi- zens had not even heard, whose record was yet to Iwe made. This young state was not only quick to respond to the demand for men, under the en- thusiasm that pervaded the country during the earlier stages of the war, but she held out to the last with her quota. through all the dark days that followed.
When it was ascertained that 75.000 men would not accomplish it, successive calls were made 300,000. 300.000, 500,000, etc .. until, at last. a grand total of nearly 3,500,000 had been furnished to do what it was anticipated a handful of men could accomplish in a few weeks.
Minnesota followed up these successive do- mands. until the very Indians thought ber terri- tory was nearly depleted of fighting men, and assailed her unprotected settlers. War was thus brought to her own doors, in forms more dreadful than Antietam or Gettysburg. The records will show how well the state behaved under the fiery ordeal of war. It belongs to us only to transcribe to these pages the roll of honor of the county. hoping to assist in immortalizing the names of
the patriotic and brave defenders of our flag. Here they are. rank and file. Honor them all.
