MONDAY, JAN. 13th, 1873. Appointing Superintendent of Public Instruction. The vacancy in the office of Su perintendent of Public Intruction, caused by the death of .Rev. James Iteid, has to be filled by appoint ment of the Governor, and that duty devolving upon the Executive, andthependingperformance thereof, has provoked some premature, ill natured, and unnecessary criticism and speculation. It is understood the Governor feels that the success of his admin istration depends very much upon his ability to establish a perfect, practicable and successful system of public education for the unlettered masses of North Carolina. If he succeeds in doing this if Governor Caldwell can accomplish the great work of opening a public school in every township of the State, and thereby educate all the children, white and black, of the State, he will have done more than any man before him ; and such success will redound to the everlasting pride and glory of the Republicans of North Carolina. It then becomes the Governor to The Raleigh News Nils been much exercised of late, for fear that Governor Caldwell would appoint some Democrat Superintendent of Public Instruction. The News was neither so facetious nor apprehen- place in the office of Superintendent sive about the time it was receiving of Public Instruction the best man the State Printing through the aid, for the position the State of North CO-operation and management of Carolina affords. He should be, leading Republicans, in and out of first, a native of the State; second, An Act to Alter the Constitu tion of North Carolina. the Legislature. The imputation of some that Mahone'scash influenced the pro ceedings stopping the sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad is unjust, unfounded and at total variance with the truth. No mat ter if Mahone did say it was his purpose to get possession of the Road and " blow down the ledges politician. 41 of rock which overhang the road, "and close it up," thus depriving the West of a Railroad for all time to come, no man in North Carolina can impute improper motives to Governor Caldwell. He may make mistakes, as who does not ?

Add a new section to the second article to be styled " section thirty," and to read as follows : " The mem bers of the general assembly shall each receive three hundred dollars as a compensation for their services during their term, subject to such regulations in regard to time of payment and reduction for non-attendance as may be prescribed by law ; but they may have an addi tional allowance when they are called together in special session, and mileage shall be ten cents per mile for each session."

He must discard every other con sideration except peculiar fitness for the position. The office of Superintendent of Public instruction is in no wise a Era regards the delay caused by political office, and if Governor Caldwell has determined not to make of it a political machine, he gives hope of success at the outset.

Vaccination in the tiary. Peniten- A correspondent of the Era Write to complain that the con victs in the State Pen are not vac cinated, and on the .principle that an ounce of preventive is worth "a pound of cure," urges that the Physician to the Penitentiary be required at once to vaccinate all the convicts. , If we lived in a State where in telligent and competent manage ment characterized the government of our public institutions, it would not be necessary to call attention to this matter now ; forlthe public has certainly labored under the impres sion that all convicts were vaccina ted the first thing on entering the enclosure. It appears, however, that such a thing has never entered the stupid brain of the management of the North Carolina Penitentiary. The small pox is raging all over the country. At least three of the counties adjoining Wake have it now, and it has been reported in Wake county, only a few miles from Raleigh. That it will be in the city is more than probable, and it may therefore be looked for any day. The convicts in the State Pen should be vaccinated without an hour's delay. Mr. .President Bled soe and Deputy Warden Hall should be i prevailed on to suspend their diverting operation of the shower bath until the convicts can be vac cinated and recover therefrom. And if they cannot be prevailed on by the humanity of public opinion, then let a deputation of the Young Men's Christain Association wait on the Penitentiary authorities. The correspondent of the Era calls attention to the fact that the stHiuently enlist the support and co-operation of all, or meet with no success. It is an appointment in which the prejudices of our political oppo nents have to be regarded if we are to appeal to them for their aid in establishing an effectual public school system for North Carolina ; and Gov select tion, and it matters not from which side he is supposed to come if he possesses all the requisite qualifica tions for the position.

Therefore, in this matter of appointing a Su perintendent of Public Instruction the Era will sustain the Executive, if his choice shall fall upon a com petent and wrorthy person, regard less of any mere political circum stance or consideration.
