10 THE CHICAGO WISCONSIN. 4 Now Ohief-Jnstice of the Supreme ~ Qoart Will Be’ Appointed Next Week, Reminiscences of the Lato Chief-Jnstice Ryan and Mis Colleagues Upon tho Bench, ’ Political {Issues that Entered into Judicfat Contests—Defeat of the State- Rights Party. Special Correspondence of The Chteago Tribune, Manson, Wis., Nov. 6&—Some days ago Gov. Smith intimated to a newspaper main who was interviewing him that, ns soon 25 tho election was over and tho evlogics pro- notinced In the Suprome Court on the Inte Chlef-Justice Ryan, ho should turn his at- tention to the appointinent of his sue- cessor. The election Is over, and tho Court will meet on the 9th; so the question of tho new’ Chief-Justico is probably already settied in the Governor's mind, ad the annotncement will soon be rade pubile, to the rellef of suveral ambitious gentlemen who are walting totnke the dead Judge's shoes. ‘The vacancy occurred only two weeks ago, just onthe eve of an exciting Presidential campaign, when everybody wns so absorbed with politics that they patd little attention to any other subject; but now the press and the people of the State are industriousiy discussing {he ques- tlon of the Gevernor's appointment from the political ns well as the legal standpoint. The Suprome Court of Wisconsin consists at Present of five Judges, and before the death of the distingulshed Chlef-Justice there were two Demoecrats—Ryan and Orton—and three Repubiieans—Cole, Lyon, aud Taytor, It Politics is to be taken Into the secount nt all in such 0 ense, thenbovels as fair a division ns could be made, and gives the minority its full . share of representation npon the Bench, be- enuse the yuto of Wisconsin at the olec- tlon one year ago stood In round numbers 100,000 Republicans to 75,000 Demo- crats, Judge Ryan was the ablest and most conspicuous leader tho Wisconsin Democ- racy ever had, and had rendered his party the most briltiant service that any man ever be- stowed.on a bad enuav. Orton's political orthodoxy will always be a matter of dis- pute. He started in life asa Whig, then he Joined the Free-Soilers, then the Republic ng, then the Democrats, then the Green- backers, und then the Democrats again. In 1876 he ran for Congress In the Second Dis- trict nzalnat Caswell as the combined candl- date of the DEMOPRATS AND GNEENDACKENS, but, ag the Wisconsin Democrney were nt that time trying to out-Slerod Herod in the intla- tion business, it is hard to tell wileh head to elnssify Orton wnder=Demoerat or Green- backer. Mowwevor, as he was the cholce of *the Democracy for lis present position, and asthe Greenback party has nalther local hab- itation nor tame {n Wisconsin after Inst Tues- day’s work, It is but fair to charge his ap- polntment to the Democrats, Everybody knows that, however much tho scholar in polities may talk about the impro- priety of making a judicinl ofico the test of party atrencth, or of dragging the Judicial ermine through ‘the dirty poal of politics, tt is nevertholess true that in nine cases out.of ten when theoflice of Judge is an elective one partisan nomluations are made on both sides, and the party machinery ts ealled into play in avery instanee to elect thelr cnndidates, ‘The only party that gues into an independ- ent or‘peoplo’s movement to divest a fillet glection of Its partisan character fs invarla- bly the party that fs In such a smull minority that ft {s foolish and useless to put up a enn dMdate of its own... "Lho Republican party tn: Wisconsin’ was no sooner organ- ized -and got political control of ‘the State thon it nominated and elected the Hon, Orsainus Cole as Associate Justies of the Suprene Court over Samuel Crawford, Who was then a member of the Court and an able and worthy mn. ‘Chat was fn 1855, and both parties have kept up the partisan ehar acter of the contest uver since, all the while disclalming tholr Intention to make the cholva ayuarty test, During the twenty-llye years that the Repubtlean party has held sway in Wisconsin, there have been only two Instances ins which hag relaxed fi ried artisin polley in electing members of the preme Court, and those two Instances mid the cases that brought them about will be explained further on. On the other hand, the Democrats have seldom failed to run a candl- date of thelr own, or unite Ina eall upon some Intependent Republlean and give hin the full support of thelr party, Politleal tonsiderations have always entered Into the contest on both sides, and in one notable in- stance the doctrine of BTATH-RIGNTS caused a division in tho Republican party and the defeat of its regutarly-nominated candidate for Chiof-Justice, In another inatnnee, an Associate Justice wns selected as the Republican candidate malniy on the ground of entertaining extrome Stato-rights theorles, from the anti-slavery stand: point = In 1850 the = «Inte §=— Byron Paine was chosen Associnto Justice of the Supreme Court, and his chlet tecommendation was that he had made an Arguinent In the Booth-Iperatt cnse before Judge A. D, Smith, of the Supreme Court, In Cuvor of declaring tho Fugitive Slave act of 1850 unconstitutional and vold, ‘The origin of that celebrated caso was thist A runnwoy slave from Kentucky mamnd Joshita Glover Was overtaken in Milwaukee and Jodged in Jal, Sherman M. Booth, thon cilting a radical Abolition paper ealled tho Free Democrat, - mounted a horsa and rodo through the streets, shouting nt the top of his sonorous yolee, Freuinen to the Tesco!’ and nainob callected, broke open the jell, und set Gloverat liberty, Booth and John. tvernft were prosecuted undor the Mugitive Slaveact fur nding theslave Glover to eseape, butJudge Sintth, of tho Supreme Court, re feused thom on n writ of habeas corpus, holding to the ultra State-rights view of the case In tho decision. Booth was afterwards ruurreated and haprisoned in the Milwaukes Custom-House for many months, from whieh. fie was rescued In broad daylight by Prot. Daniels and wn nasoclate, but tefaken by. the United States Marahaland held in custouy until President Buchaaan pardoned hinont, ‘The history of this case and sts bearing upon State polities can only be alluded to da this connectlon; but It created {ne tenso excltement at the thie In” Wisconsin, divided theltepublican party into two sections, and was wade the Hyeliest kind of an lasue for many yeurs, Byron Paine had endured himself to the radical anti-slavery wing of the Republican party by his powerful urge mont jn favor of declaring tho Fugitive slave low unconstitutional and void, and) was choson Associate Justice of the Supreme Court principally for that reason, In 1439 CHIRESUBTICR WIITTON died and Goy, Randall appointed Luther 8. Dixon to fill out his unexpired term. When A Republican Convention was called to noml- _ hatoa candidate fur ChiefaJustice It was ns- certained that the Binterights wing of tho party hud 9 majority of delegates in that Convention, and, as Dixon had sided with the Conservatives, they decided to throw hin. overboard aud ta nowlnate the Hon, A. “Scott Sloan, who had givon his adhe- sion, to the nullification theorlea that swere promulgated in thea Booth case by fudge Smith, That Convention was a Tanunda a re continued, ‘Timothy O. Hawe, who had been defeated for United Btates Senator the year before on that very issue, was 9 member of the Convention, and jed the Cou- servative wing of the party {in favor of Dixon, and Carl Schurz, then 9 resident of Wisconsin, champloned the Stste-rtyhts mien, and both pritelnat disputants were sided by some of the ablest men of the State, chief suo tham was Booth himself, who had felt the Iron grip of the obnoxiuun Fugi- . tivo Slave law in his own person. ‘Tha up- shot was that Sloan was nominated, and the bolting Republicans und Democrats united on Dixon and elected him, Tho Madison State Journal, the recognized leading Re- publican paperin the State, openly advo cated the deteat of the rezuiarly noininnted caudkinte for Chief-Justice, and tho dlsaffece Hon was eeneral, dust here comes in an flustration of the mendacity and inconsistency of the Domo- eratic party, Tho doctrine in the Booth ense, as Inid down by Judge A.D. Sinith, and. the resofutfons indorsing the same by the Legis- lature of 1850, were tho very erenin of the celebrated Kentucky resolutions of ‘08, and would —haye pleased John C, h hou so much that be would not have altered them by dotting oan for crossing ont. But this’ assertion of the State-trights thers in that Instance, was made in favor of liberty, and not on the side of stavery; hettce the Democratic party of Wisconsii, trac to its devilish Instincts in support of human bondage, set its fee tke flint against the doctrine. {t could swallow Staterights when the doctrina was invoked fo perpetuate and extend chattel slavery, but it bitters opposed any application of it in favor of human freedoin, A DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION was eniled to take action In the matterof the Chief-JSusticeship, and {t resolver to support Dixon for the reagon that he wns not a State- rights Republican, and ft opposed Slonn and defeated him who now belungs to the played- out Democracy, and adheres to their State tights theories to-day as he did in 1860. Stoan had served ono term in Congress 8 0 Repub- ean, following tho tnte Charles Billinghurst, but was defeated by Charles If. Larrabee. Dixon was twiee redlected ChiefJustlee without serious opposition, and served fifteen yents on the Beneh to universal acceptance. ‘Thon the Rebellion broke out, and the eyes of the Republicans were opened to the pers wfefous theorfes they hind adopted, Smith's opinion was quoted approvingly in the South aga fustifiention for dsobeying an act of Congress that mfmlt be distasteful to the cit- {zens of a certain State, aml the Southern people sald that If the people of, Wisconsin were not bound to obey an act of Congress relating fo the enpture and rendition of fuxl- tive slaves, they were not hound to acquicsea in the election of Abraham Lincoln, and they: wonld not do it, The Republicans took the back track. How ected to the United States Sen- ate, which was a triumph of the Federal wing, and the Republican Legistature repeated the foulish State-rights regulutions of 1850, THE RAILROAD FARAONTAAGH question was the next one that entered Into the election of a Supreme Judge, and it was inde a test nt the ballot-box. Some 6,000 farmers In Wisconsin liad mortgaged thelr honiesteads In exchange for stock Ina num ver of proposed new rallronds, end these mortgages had been sold to ralso money with which to bulid tha ronda, Nearly all. the companies failed, efther through fraud, imfsmanage- inont, or other causes beyond human control, and, being powerless to protect the mort- rAgcors as Agreed, the foreclose of them wags Nevitable, Great exeitemont followed, and the q entered into politics, ‘The roads had not been built, the agreement on the part of the companies upon which the morteages had been executed and delivered had’ not been earrled out, but the anortages had passat! Into tho hats of Innocent purehasers, Sho farmers erjed frand, oud claimed that they hid recelved no valuable consideration or ‘equivalent, and resisted the collection of the mortyages, ‘The holders undertook to enforce collechon, nnd the Cirewlt Courts Mecided in ail eases In favor of the farmers, The first case tat was carried to the Sue free Courton an peat was that of Clark vs. Marrington, from the Dodge County Ciretlt, and the Suiroine Court held that the mort- pace wag valid on its face, and, belug in the hands of an innocent purchaser who had wd aw valuable consideration for it, it must he paid ike ather camtmerctal paper, ‘Tho Court refused to go buek and in- quirs into all the details relating to issuing tho mortgage, and the nllezed fraud, ant want of constderation, but held that they were valld and must be paid. Assneinte- Justles Byron Paine wrote the decision of the Court, in whieh Dixan and Cale aequile esced, dndge Cole's term had just expired, and he was « candidate for retteetion. O£ course Mere was n party organized to defeat Im on the ground or the Farm-Mortenge deelsion, and the Inte James IL, Knowlton, thon a resident of Jancaville, who died fn Chiengo tivo years azo, was selected (0 make the race agulitst Cole on this ngrariin Issue, Fe, JUDGE KNOWHtON had been aman of mark in Wisconsin poll- tles for many years, Me had figured as counsel for Coles Bashford In the celebratod quo-warranto proceedings against Goy.

Lut the oMelal returns svttled the ease in favor of Cole, and thus ended another effort to decide nstrictly judicial question ata town meetlig, . A DEMOCRATIO VIEW, : For twenty-five years the Supreme Court of Wisconsin consisted of but three mene bers, and since the defentof Samuel Crawford, In 1855, the Democrats did not have a repre- sentative on the Beneh until the appolnt- ment of ChietJustica Ryan in 187. ‘Tho Democrats claim that thoy have amoral right lo two Judges out ot the five as the Court Is how constituted, and petitions are now being circulated asking the Governor to appoint the Hon, A, A, 1, Butler to the office of Chief dustice, Mr, Butler is n distinguished law. yer ond citizen of Milwatkeo, who has served ono torm as Mayor of the “Cominercial Emporium of Wisconsin, and fs fitted by educatlon, professional training, and experience at the Bar to {itl aecentably any position of publle trust to whieh be catled; but (tis not at alltikely that elther hoor any other Democrat will be usked to AML the chalr of tha late Chict-Justice, ‘This is n poor year for Demoernts to But Into ofice under any pretext, nnd the Governor will doubtless try and dnd n good Hepublienn to occupy the place. Tho Repubileans have been much more generous te the Damocracy in respect to the appolitinent of the dudes of that Court than thoy hind any reason to ex- pect, or than the Democrats — themselves seemed to appreciate, As before stuted, he nay dudge Ryan was appointed: Chief Justive by Goy. ‘Taytor, fill out dndge Dixon's unespired — torm, nil every- one expected including Judge Ryan himself, tl Republican would. be nomlnated ane elected ng hia successor ns soon ns his term was ont. dtyan had been the ablest and most bitter foo the Republican party had ever en- countored tu tho State, and It had felt dis hereulean blows from {ts eradie to the present, not only in time of peace. but during Hie Rebeliton, when the Nation was. im pestle by reyolution and civil war, When 10 DEMOCRATIO STATE CONVENTION met In the dark duys of 1€63, ond It was a question of life or desth with the Republio, Ryan was made Chairman of the Committes on Itesolutions, and wrote the platform, and what has slice passed into history aa the “ Ryan Address” was the result, It hnd been prepared with great care be forehand, and to the disloyal work the late distinguished = Chief Justlee brought all his learning, knowledge of constitutional and International law, partie san hate of-Mr, Lincoln's Administration, aud all the rare arts of scholarship of whieh ho was a perfect master, ‘Tho Address was a Hea for n white man's Governments that the War shold ba conducted constitutionally; ire tho Rebeltion wron ‘ but J aust if jn 3 nt a ccordiny law,—the Whole brilliant but specious argument bolts beautifully decorated with the Copperhun doctring of Stute rights, Matt Carpenter undertook ta answer it but Mutt is nota seholar as Ryan was, und never set himsell down to any Hard, studions work ontslde of hls Taw cases, and the Ryan Address goes uit guswered to this day. And. yot ft ts ta bo wcordud RY an exauple of “the forgiving disposition of the Republican party of Wis consin that they should yote Ynnnhnously almost to make thelr most violent polltieat opponent the honored Chief Justice of the State. Leds to tholr credit that they didso, for bo ft hers recorded that Wiseonsla never held a man within her borders, Jbving or dead, that wus to be compared with Edward G ityan in point of natural and acquired ability, in scholarship, in. the extent and variety of — his andy ils knowledge ot tg twee and in its intuitive application to meot tho tle mands of Jnatice, Hs written opinions dur ing the seven yenrs he filled the oflice of CHIEF JUSTICE are fine examples of perspicuity and fnelstve- ness, nd the Cornell Untversity selected them as models in English composition for thoso of her students who designed to study for tho Inw, But the Democratic party had only ono such man who towered up so much above his fellows, and thore 19 no necessity for the Governor to zo outside the atouubuenn party to find nition for the position. There {3 another reason why, the Covernor should not be asked to appotita Democrat. That crowd fins not kept faith with the Esprit ansin the matter of non-partisnnship, nor have they seemed, to nppreeiato the Rendrosity extended to them by the dominant party of tho State. The Res publieans allowed ynn’s | Inst election to go uncontested, fleres and bitter Bourbon that he wag, and then graciously periitte the Democrats to select one of the two new Judges that were required by tho amendment to the Constitution adopted dn 18% But the Democratle politicians forgot all thts as soon as Judee Cole's term expired, and thoy made f partisan test of it and supported Judo Cothern of ho other ground but that he was an old _ Bourbon Democrat, with not one-tenth of Cole's abllity or fitness for the oftlce, From what they have alrendy. dong it is safe to say that the Democrats woultl make n clean sweep of nll the Kepub. Neans from the Supremo Bench if they had the power, aud they have no teason to com: plain of the treatment that they have already recelved. TI NEW CHIRF-WUSTICE. ‘The Court meets on the Oth, when enlogtes will be pronounced upon the late Chicf- Justice Ryan, atter which it will adjourn for natated parfod out of respect to his memory. ‘The general drift of opinion In tho State ainong the legal fraternity 1s that the Gover- nor will appoint Judge Cole to tho position of CliefsIustice, andthe Hon.

Comparatively few people know anything about logarithms as an ald to ealeniauon; and to most of those who are able to uso them the nature of tho logarithm ts an ine serutable mystery, Indeed, the method of reasoning by which they are developed ts not conelustye to 8 considerable proportion of those who rend the Inngunge of the cal- eulus; a3 It requires tho «iiferential of a variable quantity to-be absolutely zero, in witich case It may be objected that the quantity is really not a variable s but o constant, It is proposed, in this article, to show how a tabla of Jogarithms maybe developed from first principles, without resort to the processes of tha higher mathematics, The most diMen|t partot tho operation is the extractlon of the square root, with which every one who hag received o common-school education ought to ba faimis{ar. Of course ft is not necessary now to perforin the work hero indicated, bes enuse the desired tables of logarithms ‘have long sinca been calenlated; the process fg. presented only for the purpose of showing the relation which a logaritlim bears to its corresponding nuinber.
