G. Ryan Chief Justice, filling the place
made vacant by the resignation Of Chief
Justice Dixon. He will hold the office
till his successor is elected and qualified
Justices of the Supreme and Circuit Courts

believe they do net qualify till the first
OF the next year. Ii SO, Justice Ryan will
Lcld the office till the first of January
1876
Mr.. Ryan is we'll Known as a profound
awyer and an able advocate. He is also
known rs man Of easy excitability and
strong passion. 1t is not known whether
as Chief Justice he will be able to control
bis excitabiIity and passion, and apply
his knowledge of law, and exercise good
judgment in the administration OF Justice
If he can and does he will make all able
Chief Justice: If he can not and does not
he should leave the office. The Chief
Justiceship has been honored by the self
C 'ntrol, the ability, the impartlality, the
dignity, and purity of "a Wilton and a
Dixon. IL should never be dishonoIed
by the excitability, the passion, the want
Of self control and, the alb ence of dignity,
of Ryan. Chief Justice Ryan may,
however, and we hopeawill, do honor to
the Office.

CONVENTION OF THE WISCONSIN EDITo-
RIAL ASSOCIATION.
The Wisconsin Association of editors
and publishers commenced their elgh-
tenth annual session at the Academy Of
Music, Milwaukee, on the forenoon cf the
10th instant. TIE convention being
called TO meet at the Court House, many,
not knowing OF the change, failed to find
the way to the Academy Of Music. Those
who were present registered their names
and the convention soon adjourned.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention met at 2 O'Clock in The
Academy Of Music, but unfortunately
there was but light attendance. The
exercises were opened by the President,
Mr.. Sam Ryan, in lew we'll chosen re-
marks of graduation.
Mr. Ryan regretted that the conven-
ton opened with SO slim an attendance
There are IA newspapers represented in
this convention, but 8 large portion Ct
them were missing. They are wander
ing around like lost sheep Of the houlse
Of the Israel He thought that the
change in the place of meeting was,
perhaps, the cause for this arrangement.
In the papers and on the printed pre-
grammes, the courthouse had been de-
sgns,ted as the place of meeting, and be-
iieved that large number of the dele
gates had not yet become aware Of tie
change. He saw many OF his brother
editors at the Opera house on last night
and he did earnestly hope. that they had
not been beguilt from the paths of rec
titude by the temptations which are sc
common in all metropolitan cities. O.
course the main object of this meeting il
social enjoyment, but still the members OF
the ASSOCIATION must not forget that they
have duties to perform and responsible
ties TO meet, and that while there is 8
time to laugh and play. there is also 6
time to york. We must behave we'll and
bring no blush Of shame to the faces OF
our friends

In distant lands chiefly as it is reflected in the

is this the first time I have expressed the
conviction that in her local press, Wisconsin
is without superior among the states OF the
Union.
We have been pleased to notice, too, that
in your loyalty to the state, you have never
lost sight of the claims OF her metropolis, but
have labored-and not, as believe, in vain
20 make it city of which the state may be
proud. And now that you have come among

the utmost earnesiness of our hearts, we
bid you welcome.
The Chairman stated that Gen. James

BREAKING IN GENTLY.
D. Nal Tain

Yes, l remember that aGecdote, y
the Sunday-school Superintendent said,
with the old pathos in his voice, and the
old sad look in his eyes, 1T was about
a simple creature named Higgins, that
used to haul rock for old Maltby. When
the lamented Judge Bagley tripped and
fell down the courthouse stairs and
broke his neck, it was a great question
how to break the news to poor Mrs.
Bagley. But finally the body was put
into Higgins wagon, and he was IN
structed to take it to Mrs. B., but to be
very guarded and discreet IN his Ian
guage, and not break she news to her at
once, but do it gradually and gently.
When Higgins got there with his sad
freight. he shouted till Mrs. Bagley
came to the door.
Then he said, docs the wilder Bag
ley live here "
"The avidouv Bagley? No sir! "
srIl bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live
here
Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
s'I'n bet he don't. But never mind,
it amt for me to contradict. Is the
Judge in F."
mo, not at present"
81 lest expected as much. Because,
YOU know-take hold O. suthin, mum,
for I'm a going to make little commu-
nication, and l reckon mayby it'll jan
YOU some. There's been an accident,
mum. I've got old Judge curledup out
here in the wagon, and when You see
him you'll acknowledge yourself that an
INQUEST is about the only thing that
could be a comfort to him"
