Reduction Of Salaries.

The Legislature Of Illinois, at its recent
session, passed an act reducing the salaries
paid tlreir Judges from $500 to $1,000:
and It was predicted by those who op.
posed the reduction. as it is now predicted
here BY those who oppose the constitution
on the ground Of the law salaries which
i establishes, that competent jurists could
not be found willing to accept the places.
An emphatic answer 10 all this is given in
the fact, that few days since three Of the
Judges who had been serving for $500
per year-Messrs. Shields, Thomas, and
Caton-were reelected BY the Legislature,
and Of course consented to serve for the
diminished salary. And 50, we enter
tain not doubt, it would be here-ths
men now on the bench, or others equally
competent, will be found willing TO accept
seats on the State bench for the paw des-
ignated in the constitution, should it be
adopted. Satisfied, however, as we are.
that it is perfectly safe to anticipate such a
result, we still adhere to our original opin-
ion that the salaries arc inadequate. The
mere fact that the services Of men Of COM
potency can Be procured for compensa-
tion barely equal to the subsistence Of
their families, seems to us to Be but Door
reasonfor Withholding from them liberal
allowance, where the ability to pay exists.
In The first organization Of the State gov
eminent, with q comparatively small pop
u'aiion to bear the expenses, it may BE-
proper enough to economize to the utmost
extent; but tho policy Of prohibiting any
interference with the salaries established
for . long > period - ten years, As pro-
vided for in the constitution, may well be
questioned. We should have been better
pleased had the period been fixed at five
years, but the objection will not generally
Be regarded. % Of much moment. AZ !.

IL Should the Texas and Oregon bills
both fail in the Senate, many think an ex-
ira session Of Congress will be called.
Mr.. Polk, we feel confident, has too much
good sense to take such step. In the alb
sence Of any positive necessity to justify
him in converting the new Congress be-
fore the arrival of the time fixed by law, he
cannot so soon have forgotten the admitted
fact, that the last two extra sessions have
been attended with fatal results to those at
whose instigation they were called.

party would devote itself simply to the all
important purpose of getting the vote-of
testing proposals for amendment in every

fail-we have little doubt that a majority
