address upon taking the oath of office.
CHIEF JUSTICE BEASLEYs SUCCESSOR

Governor Griggs of New-Jersey has now be-
fore him the delicate and important task Of Sc
Letting a successor to tie late Chief Justice Of
the Supreme Court, Mercer Beasley. for the I'M
expired term, which ends in 1899. The salary
is $4,000 a year and the term seven years, with
a reasonable prospect Of reappointment, as. for
instance. in the case of Mr. Beasley. who held
the office for thirty-three years. From every
point Of view the appointment is therefore, re-
garded as a prize second only in attractiveness
10 n seat on the bench Of the United States SUI
preme Court.
New-Jersey's Supreme Court consists OF
Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. The
terms are Of equal duration, but the Associate
Justices have $1,000 year less than the presi-
dent of the court. At present the court consists
Of Justices Depue Dixon, Magic and Gum
mere. Republicans. and Justices Van Syckel.
Garrison. Ludlow and LippincOtt. Democrats.
Naturally. the Governor will select Repub-
lcan to fill the vacant Chief Justiceship. First
however, he must determine whether or not the
appOintee shall be chosen from among the AS
socate Justices The senior Justice, David A.
Depue is an able and accomplished jurist, but
the fact that he has passed his seventeen birth
day initiates against him. Justice Jonathan
Dixon is regarded by many lawyers as the most
learned member of the court but in the last year
or so his health has been poor. Justice William
s. Gummere was appointed only two years ago,
and he is not yet fOry-five years of age. The
application of this sitting process leaves Justice
William J. Magic alone as eligible to promotion,
and If the Governor should decide TO confine
himself to n selection from those who served
with Mr.. Beasey it is reasonably certain that
his choice will be Justice Magic Mr.. Magic is
sixty-four years old; his father was the Rev.
David Magic; he graduated from Prince
ton in 1866, served three years in the State Sen
ate and has been on the Supreme Court bench
for seventeen years.
But it is by no means certain that Governor
Grggs will not go outside of the court for
Chief Justice. In hundred years only two
Chief Justices were appointed from the bench
and Mercer Beasley was without any judicial
experience whatever when he was called. in his
fOrty-ninth year, TO an office that he graced for
thirty-threc years. The lawyers named in con-
nection with this high and honorable office are
Samuel II. Grey, Of Camden, and Gilbert Col
lins, of Jersey City. Mr.. Grey is already booked
for appointment as Acknowledgement, TO sue
coed John l.. Stockton, and while il is no doubt
true that he might prefer that office just now,
he will probably respond TO any call that the
Governor may make upon him. In any case, the
State is fortunate in the high character and abil-
ity of all the men eligible
