THE EVENING POST W. P. CANADA V. . C. MANN. - - Business Manager . . Managing Editor. Thursday. January 16th, 1873. Bnperintendent of Tablic Instrrtc tlon. His Excellency has found a competent rata who is willing to perform the ar duous duties of tbo aboife popitio- for the Ecant .salary attached to it. We have heretofore spoken ot the diflku'.tlts the Governor labored under in this rat tcr and arc. perlcctly well satisfied with his choice of the lion. Kemp I'. Battle if he will manage the office himself and fully appreciate the changed condition of affirs and govern himself according ly. We have every cociiicncc in the ability and integrity of this gentleman and shall be content, if he succeeds in making it, what it should be, a non political office. Wc do not objsct to the appointment of a demccrat to office in itself considered, except thai if a man is predisposed to liberal idea3 and & perfect comprehension of the clanged condition of afiUir?, he is npt to act v?ith the Repnblican party. So when nrnmincnt ilpmocrat ia St'ieCtod for t W - - some important duty we are always fearful that he will not bve that hbcr- alty and freedom from prejudice so essential to the proper du charge ot his Of thi Governor Caldwell is M.J. w it . iro lovi c 1 1 ft i r i i ri f run Well antic uu i us unit c fidence in him to believo that he wil -do nothing detrimental to the success of the party which is founded and built up exclusively upon the broad basis o human rights. Wc may be accu-ed of desiring a party man in this office ar.d to be frank, we did so desire. Wo be lieve that the Hon. S. S. Ashley was maligned ui 1 -uscd by the democracy solely on political grounds, and that our opponents forced politics into tlm' office, tio we refer to it, not thnt v are dissatisfied with the Gverinr' choice, lor we have confidence in hiuj and believe be witl net (or ihc b st iu terests of the State, but lncue ui nnnonents uraise the Gv rmr lor m;ik- ing it a non-political offi :e, bvcau-e tie has appointed one of their party to the office. This is a iittlo beyond our com prehension. The appoiutmeut ot Mr. Jatt!c is a good one and is endorsed by many ol oar prominent political friends at IU1 elgn and elsewhere. The following is the correspondence between the Gov ernor and Mr. Battle, which promises good and as wc most earnestly desire the establishment of good free schools throughout the State, we are ready to Aid the Superintoadcut any way in our power : Executive DurAUTiitNr, Jxalcigh, lith January, 1S73. Kemp P. Battle, Esq , Dbaa Sir: The office of Superin tendent of Public Instruction having oecome vacant by thedeath ot Rev. Jus. Raid, it devolves upon me 1 1 fin the vacancy. This is an office ot t,'rm ioi- nnranfn I r th, npm!l lit llnth r;ilr- . fe W . V mvr u w j j- - -' - - .... - - . and the successor failure ot our c 'in inon schools is largely dependent irum the qualifications nd tltuess of the pehutendent of Public Instruction. Al ter maturely considering the matter in fill its aspects, I have determined to len der the office to you. From a long ac quaintance, I be icvc thit you possess, in An eminent degree, all the qualities and qualifications which are necessary and requisite to maku - our common schools a success, aud that your appoint ment will give general, if not universal satisfaction. I am further persuaded that your freedom from iolitical preju dice and intolerance, will prompt you to taae as much interest, and manifest aa much zeal, in behalf of the educa tion and moral culture of oao race of our fellow citizens aa ot the other ; aud tIRit you will kr.oic, or 'avor, or ignore no ono on account of his or her race or previous condition ; but that you will administer this office, aud duciiarge its duties, impartially, nd without favor or fear. I trust, Sir, that you will ac cept the accompauying commission, and give me your valuable aid iu an honest effort to build up, nud maintain, a good system ol common cchuoitj iu our State. I am, Sir, very truly, Your obeditnt servant, Tod R. Caldwell, Governor. MR. BATTLE'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Raleigh, Jau. 14. 1S?. Hi Excellency, Tod R. Caldwell, Gcver.r of North Carolina : Dear Sir: A ;r careful deliberation, I deom it my duty to accept the posi tion of Superintendent of Public In struction, which you have so uncxptct , edly tendered me. The cause of popular education should be raised ab ve all partisin conM'tern tions. Reciprocating and bOLnring your motives in endeavoring to tff ct jjs great object, as shown iu the ap- ft XCtSk?3 pointment of one not of your party, I shall labor with earnest desire, as the Constitution provides, to diffuie the light of knowlege equally and im partially among the, youth of the State, without bias of politics or bias of race. To aid in relieving the intellectual famine of the rising generation, in re moving from the State the blight of ignorance, in rekindling the extinguish ed fires of our venerable University, once '-o honored and so usetm, in plac ing North Carolina bbreast with the most cultured ot English speaking peo ple; is surely worthy the ambition of any man. Deeply impressed, notwithstanding your favorable opinion, with a sense of my want of the requisite qualifications to accomplish the task, yet, intending to bring to the work, industry and zeal, I will enter en my duties, relying on your efficient aid, as well as on the co-operation of the Board of Education, the Trustees of the University; and most of all the Legislature ot the Stale. Thanking you for the kind terms of pr-i S with which you accompanied my commission, I am very respectfu'lr-yours, Kb mp P. Battle. " I'll go, if I walk every step." There's strength in suc-a words as these; strength for the souls of men. Many might say it to attain, what ? self-pleasure, self-emolument, self-advancement, sclf anything ; but how few would say it with empty pockets, feeble strength, and a lite full of days o'er - stocked with cares : and at the other end a f-ick and suffering friend a dy ing, aching friend. Mothe's oh ! yes, they we know would, and other ties ol kinship, but we're not talking about that ; and even in those cases the joy afforded self is like that given but when from the heart of one ot uod s servants such words come, and it is to go to caj of His Lambs that such strength proceeds, we look up with more faith after it, and look forward with more hope, yes, and struggle cn and cm trviuf to blot out the blank and empty hour, which, with nil their noth- 1 1 , - n n mgness, fill o iurge a space in God s calender. An .1 we could but think, as thf words fell into our souls yesterday, . v l f.,ii u,,rt ,,r ,mn ,.f m,r ritv ' , " A. ... bhepbeidMliat from among the pillows when the journey was ajcompiibncu, how sure how pure how strong and i -sustaining, would the 44 O, Father of nil Mtricies and G;ul of all Comlort, utiil to i in- enrs on whom earth's mu -ic had discorded."

I ', ' . ; - THE WORK OF THJE SECRET sSCtETTJSS. '"' The experience of our yoke haa taught us, how correctly- from the beginning ot this persecution, promoted, by the machinations of wicked sects, and per petrated and carried on by their disci ples it the head ot public affairs. We frequently in our allocutions and apos tolic letters have asserted openly, that the sovereign ' rights of 'our secular princedom were attacked with so much force for no other reason than that so a way might be laid- towards abolishing, it that could be done, the spiritual au thority in which the successors of Peter, are glorious, and to obliterate the Cath olic Church, and the very name 'of Christ himself, living aud reigning in it. . THE SUPPRESSION Of TIIE BELIQI0U8 HOUSES. Very clearly, indeed has that been shown by the hostile acts'of the Sub-Alpine government, especially by those in iquitous laws by which even the clerics, torn from the foot of the alters and de prived of their immunity, have - been summoned to the military service; by wnieffeven bishops have been deprived ot the right ot teaebing youths, and their seminaries have been closed. - Still this purpose of theirs shall be made still more clear by us. Iu this very city the religious congregations are disturbed uader our own eyes, or violently driven out from their houses and' the Drooertv of the Church subjected to an enormous tribute and handed over to the disposi tion of the civil authority. Even now there has been proposed in the Legisla- j tive Chamber, as they call it, a law not wholly di.simillar from that which notwithstanding our protests and sol emn condemnation has already been put into execution in other parts of It aly, which must extinguish, even here in the centre of Catholic faith, the reli gious congregations, and confiscate the goods of the Church and offer them at pubic aution. A SPECIAL OUTRAGE IN ROME. v But this law if, indeed, we can hon or by such arname a decree so repulsive to natural, divine and social right is much more iniquitous and criminal in Rome and the adjacent provinces. It iniures more deeply and sorely the 1 rights and possessions- of the nniversa Church. It attacks the very foundation of the true social civilization which the religioU3 orders, .with unceasing labor and equal coui age and constancy, have promoted and perfected not only in our territory, but which they have brought j and still bring to foreign and barbarous nationS despising difficulties, dangers, i losses, even lue itself. AN attack on THE spiritual power. iQ fine, this law attacks the righls and privileges of our apostolate, dnce if the religious bouses were obliterated or no tably reduced, and the secular clergy reduced to destitution and gradually diminishing in numbers, owing to the military conscription, not only here as elsewhere would there be wantiocr those who should break the bread of "life to the people, wbobhould administer the sacraments to the iaitmui, woo suouta teach the young and strengthen them against the innumerable snares daily laid for them, but. the Roman Pontiff would be deprived ot those aids which, as the universal master and pastor, be so much needs for the government of the entire Church. international aspect of the confis cation. The spoliation ot the Roman Church would include those . treasures which have been gathered here and placed in the centre of unity by the generpsity of all Catholics rather than by the gift of our own people. And so those treasures which were brought here for the use and increase of the Universal Church will be impiously converted to the use of others. A RENEWED BROTEST. Scarcely bad we learned that one of tho ministers of the Sub Alpine govern ment had signified to the Legislative Assembly his purpose of submitting to it a law cf this kind, than wc exposed its monstrous character through a letter it the 16th clay of June bf this year fl872). addressed to our Cardinal oec- - ' retary of State, and we commanded him that; he should make known to the Am bassadors of 4the. foreign princes near l.i T-r i li ii.:. j i luc m-Fcuu- me over us. Nevertheless, as the lbreatened law has Been proposed, ihe duty of .our apostolate requires that we should renew with a louder voice the expostulations already made in your presence, venerable brothers, and before the Universal Church.
