The Supreme Court Judgeshin.

MADISON, Jan. 23.-It is understood
that meeting of members of the bar
of the state will shortly be held in this
city to consider the subject of candi-
date for associate justice of the supreme
court. Judge Taylor's term expires
with the present year, and his successor
will be ch, sen at the spring election.
1t is said that Judge Taylor was at
one time inclined to refuse being a can
didate, but that in Difference to the
urgency of friends, who wished him to
remain on the bench, he has concluded
to accept reelection if it is offered him
There will be some opposition to him
on account of his age and the length of
the judicial term, which is now ten
years. Judge Taylor is about 68 years
of age and if he were to serve another
term would be rs at its close. He is a
well preserved man, with naturally
vigorous constitution, which has been
favored by correct habits, and he has
yet good many years of work in him,
but, unless exceptionally fortunate in
his health, can hardly hope to be equal
to the severe labor imposed on our SUI
preme court Judges to the end of auoth-
er term.
In case he is not taken up as can
didate, the persons most spoken of in
connection with the Office are said to be
L. b. Villas, of Fan Claire, brother Of
Col. Villas, S. ID. Hastings, Jr. of Green
Bay, and S. u. Pinney, of this city.
All these gentlemen are well and favor
ably known as lawyers; in politics Hast
ings is a Republican and Pinney and
Villas arc Democrats.

measures before the Senate, aud appear
to be not perceptibly nearer the point
of action than week ago. Ii is prob
able that their discussion will outlast
the present week, if not set aside.
There is disposition on the part on
the friends of the various prominent
measures now pending to antagonize
the appropriation bills. MIR Hewitt, Of
New York, viii endeavor to call up n
bill TO carry into effect the provisions of
the Mexican Reciprocity treaty, during
the week. Mr.. Townsend will press

Some of our readers have criticized
the word s'demotion. That was ex.
pected. 1t is probably not yet in any
of the editions of Worcester or Webster.
And yet its use may be defended TO rsev.
eral reasons. First, lit is needed. The
idea which it expresses is a very COM
mon one to the teacher, and there
ought to be some word for it without
tedious circumlocution. Second. the
formation of the word is ineligible,
euphonic, and in accordance with
analogy De-motion plainly expresses
the opposite of promotion. Third, -
its use may be considered reputable, for
it is frequently employed by prominent
educators, and is quite widely acknowl-
edged valuable addition to the Ian
guage. Perhaps there is no better author
ity for the use of many of the technical
words of the trades and professions
than those who have most frequent
occasion to use them.
