The three modes of selecting the Chief Justice are by electing or

appointing one as such, by leaving the judges themselves to determine

which shall act, or by a provision making the one whose term expires first

act. These modes are indicated in the table by A, B, and C, respectively.

In the salary column, where two numbers appear, the upper is the salary of

the Chief Justice. In giving jurisdiction of Circuit courts, L means law

only, LE means jurisdiction in both law and equity, 30, C, c, L7 means 30

years old, a citizen of the US and of the state, and seven years legal

practice. LL means "learned in the law".

In Me, Mass, N.H., and S.D., the Supreme Court is required to give legal

advice to the Governor.

[Footnote 1: Called Superior Court, at least one in each county. This

court also exercises the Probate powers.]

[Footnote 2: Probate Court given some other duty, unrelated to its regular

function. L means that it has also certain civil jurisdiction.]

[Footnote 3: Continuous.]

[Footnote 4: Competent number.]

[Footnote 5: As many as are needed.]

[Footnote 1: The Chancellor is responsible only to the Emperor. The

administration is through the Bundesrath in seven standing committees.]

[Footnote 2: These appointees must have held high office, or be eminent in

science, literature or art, or pay annual taxes of at least $600.]

[Footnote 3: Sweden and Norway form a F.H.M.]

In giving qualifications, N means _native_, and P means a _property_

UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT.

Each Congressional District and Territory--also the District of Columbia--

is entitled to have one cadet at the Academy. There are also ten

appointments at large, specially conferred by the President of the United

States. The number of students is thus limited to three hundred and

seventy-one.

Appointments are usually made one year in advance of date of admission, by

the Secretary of War, upon the nomination of the Representative. These

nominations may either be made after competitive examinations or given

direct, at the option of the Representative. Appointees to the Military

Academy must be between seventeen and twenty-two years of age, free from

any infirmity which may render them unfit for military service, and able

to pass a careful examination in reading, writing, orthography,

arithmetic, grammar, geography, and history of the United States.

The course of instruction, which is quite thorough, requires four years,

and is largely mathematical and professional. About one-fourth of those

appointed usually fail to pass the preliminary examination, and but little

over one-half the remainder are finally graduated. The discipline is very

strict--even more so than in the army--and the enforcement of penalties

for offences is inflexible rather than severe. Academic duties begin

September 1 and continue until June 1. Examinations are held in each

January and June.

From about the middle of June to the end of August cadets live in camp,

engaged only in military duties and receiving practical military

instruction. Cadets are allowed but one leave of absence during the four

years' course, and this is granted at the expiration of the first two

years. The pay of a cadet is five hundred and forty dollars per year. Upon

graduating, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United

States Army.

The Academy was established by act of Congress in 1802. An annual Board of

Visitors is appointed, seven being appointed by the President of the

United States, two by the President of the Senate, and three by the

Speaker of the House of Representatives. They visit the Academy in June,

and are present at the concluding exercises of the graduating class of

that year.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY AT ANNAPOLIS.

There are allowed at the Academy one naval cadet for each Member or

Delegate of the United States House of Representatives, one for the

District of Columbia, and ten at large. The appointment of cadets at large

and for the District of Columbia is made by the President. The Secretary

of the Navy, as soon after March 5 in each year as possible, must notify

in writing each Member and Delegate of the House of Representatives of any

vacancy that may exist in his district. The nomination of a candidate to

fill the vacancy is made, on the recommendation of the Member or Delegate,

by the Secretary. Candidates must be actual residents of the districts

from which they are nominated.

The course of naval cadets is six years, the last two of which are spent

at sea. Candidates at the time of their examination for admission must be

not under fifteen nor over twenty years of age, and physically sound, well

formed, and of robust condition. They enter the Academy immediately after

passing the prescribed examinations, and are required to sign articles

binding themselves to serve in the United States Navy eight years

(including the time of probation at the Naval Academy), unless sooner

discharged. The pay of a naval cadet is five hundred dollars a year,

beginning at the date of admission.

At least ten appointments from among the graduates are made each year.

Surplus graduates who do not receive appointments are given a certificate

of graduation, an honorable discharge, and one year's sea pay.

The Academy was founded in 1845 by the Hon. George Bancroft, Secretary of

the Navy in the administration of President Polk. It was formally opened

October 10 of that year, with Commander Franklin Buchanan as

Superintendent. During the Civil War it was removed from Annapolis, Md.,

to Newport, R.I., but was returned to the former place in 1865. It is

under the direct supervision of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department.
