Dear Sir I have the honor tn ro.
pointment by His Excellency, Governor

Assured as 1 am, from an acquain
tance with you of more than twenty
years, of your eminent fitness for the
duties of the office of Sunerinfpndpnfr
oi ruuuc instruction, l would cheerful
J? T- I ! T i . .
ly surrender the office to you if I be
lieved that my term of office had ex
pired, or that the commission under
which you claim is legal.
uy the first section of Article 3
oi the state Constitution the term of
omce of all officers of the Executive de
partments shall commence on the first
day of January next after their election
ana continue until their successors are
elected and qualified. By section 13
of the same Article r Tf ' th nflW
- " . VAUVV
of any of said officers shall be vacated
by death, resignation, or otherwise, it
shall be the duty of the Governor to
appoint another until the disability be
removed, or his successor be elected and
quaanea.
. An officer is one v.' ho ia ..invented with
an office. Mr. Reid had not been in
vested with the office, and therefore
he was not an officer. Tho office
ot Superintendent of Public Instruction
never became the office of Mr. Reed, and
therefore it was not vacated by his
death or otherwise. The Constitution
continues the term of the nrrsent. in.
cumbent, and no vacancy hns occurred.
ft . . it .
.it is reasonaDie mat the Constitution
should designate the person, if it has a
suitaoie person on hand, to continue in
office, in case the person elected dies or
refuses to qualify ; and the Constitution
of North Carolina does this very thing.
It continues the term of the incumbent
until his successor is elected and nunli.
jied. No vacancy occurred, and His
Excellency had no authority to grant
the commission to which .you refer; and
for tpat reason the commission is null
and void.
I, therefore, most respectfully decline
iu surrenuer to you tne oltiee oi Super
, mienaent or a-udiic instruction.
Sincerely yours,
Alexander McIver,

slave of the late Doctor F. J. Hill. He
walked to Pittsboro on every election
aay, ana always voted the straight
Democratic ticket, casting his last vote
for Greeley and Brown. He was in the
full enjoyment of his faculties to the
day of his death, being wonderfully
well preserved, and bid fair to live
many years longer, but his house catch-
ing on fire he made such active efforts
i 11 A
to subdue the flames, &c, as to com-
pletely overcome him and he died in a
moment. His house with its contents
burned to the ground.
