The following ought to make the ears OF delin-
quent subscribers Jingle with shame. 1t may star
tic some whose names ought to be on the black
list. Those gentry who think they can go scot free
and cheat the printer with IMMUNITY, will find them
selves mistaken. We have some few investments
of the kind spoken Of and they may yet make US
rich. The law is, that man is considered sub

ssNIr Jasper HarAing, of Penn. not long since re-
covered large sum, (abont $3.50, we believe,) for
subscription to the Pennsylvania Inquirer, Of man
residing in Rhode Island. The circumstances were
these: The subscriber took the paper for some
time, and he sent the publisher notice OF the dis
continuance, without forwarding the money for ar
r.raees The publisher took no notice OF this, nor
several subsequent notices ofrefusa to take the pa
pers from the post Office The result was, that not
w.hstanding the Rhode islander did not receive the
paper for erel years, yet he was forced to pay
Mr. Harding the whole amoupt up to the periou
claimed in the bill.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INsTRUCTIoN.-The
Iowa Republican falls in with the suggestion that
William G. woodward be run as an independent
candidate for superintendent of Public Instruction..
II gives long article upon the derelictions Of duty
of Thomas II. Bento on, Jr., and gives better rea-
son than we were before aware Of, why Mr. Benton
did not, as the law directs him to do, visit the
school districts the State and lecture before the
scholars. He ,cds absent attending to his orn bust
ness! He was making preparations to go to Cali
fornia, regarding his golden trip as of more impor-
lance than the educational interests of the State
Mr. woodward does not wish to run but we appre-
bend the matter has gone too far now for him to in
terpose any objections to the use Of his name. II
is important that the office should be in other hands
and If the people wish to know what has become
OF that 10000 that Mr. Benton cannot account for
let them elect Mr. Woodward, and he will ferret il
out.-IMuscatine Journal.

superintendent Of Public Instruction. Out Of his
own mouth he stands condemned. His own report
shows this. He has misapplied the peoples mon
ey. Instead of appropriating the interest, accord
ing to Law, the principal has been illegally alb
sorbed. The people know this. They suffer from
il and nothing but the most bigoted party feeling
can secure him single vote on the lrst Monday OF

The Hon.. (9) Thomas H. Benton has at last COM
menced lecturing to the people on the subject Of
Common schools, as will be seen by the following
paragraph which we cut from the Fort Madison

Last summer while he should have been lectur-

turing to the good people just the eve Of an cleo

From the Dubuque Tribune.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC 1NsTRucTIoN.-A
few Lccofocos in caucus at Iowa City have renom
mated Thos. H. Benton. Jr. for the above Office
1t was so generally desired and believed that Mr.
Harlan would again become a candidate for the
office that the Wings made no calculation upon a
nominating convention; ana now it is too late to
think of assembling one. Several presses IN the
middle and Southern portions Of the state have
suggested VIM. G. WoopwA RID, Esq Of Muscatine,
as suitable person for the Office. To this we cor
daily assent. We know Mr. w. to be well quail
fed to discharge the duties Of that important post
and shall take great pleasure in supporting him, II
he will allow his name to DO used. We have not
yet seen anything from him on the subject, but
hone to do so. ..@".-" a@@

Better than going TO Caiifo,nia.-H. B. Hender-
shott was allowed twelve dollars lay, out Of our
state Treasury, for surveying and marking out our
Southern Boundary. The wing papers, generally,
all over the state, are complaining OF such waste
fll expenditure Of the peoples money, while the
,ocofocos say that the Supreme Court commanded
the Legislature to pay that sum for 1877 days ser
vice-4e, 24l-and it was bound to make the appro-
priation In accordance with the mandate. This is
60 new way to pay old debts'--it is precedent
that should not be tolerated. II Is giving up that
power to the U. 5. supreme Court which rightfully
belongs to our Legislators. II outsiders, however
dignifed, can thus specify what the people Of
Sovereign state shall pay for such job as this,
they may for others also; and thus, the appropria-
ton Of our revenue, obtained out OF the hard earn
ings Of citizens, may be taken out Of the hands
OF our representatives.. From all the lame vindi-
cation that has been given to this enormous ex-
penditure BY loco foco editors, We ore inclined to
think the Legislature let down its dignity amazing
~ and actually rclnquished its rights, in not mex
ing fsir appropriation to Mr. Hendershott for his
services, and putting on him the ouus of obtaining
the extras the best way he could. We wonder, il
Mr. II. had been q whiS. whether the legislature
wouldn't have done differently. Oh, loco focoism,
loco focoisn, how dost thou delight to put money
in the pockets OF thy votaries!

Superintendent Of Public Instruction.
II will be seen that we place the name Of VIII
LIAM q. WOODWARD, ESQ.,, OF Muscatinc, at the
head Of our columns as a candidate for Supernten-
dent OF Public Instruction. The people of Iowa
cannot find more suitable man for this response
Bile Office, than MIR w. He is a gentleman Of fine,
commanding talents, emphaticaliy working bust
ness man, and just such q man as is needed in the
Office AT the present time to look into the deranged
condition Of the school Fund in some of the coun-
ties, and give new impetus to the languishing
cause OF Common school Education in the State.
The ineficiency and inability of Mr. Benton, since
he has been in the office, must be apparent to all,
from the confusion into which the affairs Of the Of
hce have fallen. We trust every friend OF educa-
ton in the state, and especially every Wing, will
turn out and give MIR w. cordial support. Let the
friends of Education In Wapelo remember that
this Is one Of II not the most important oiice IN
the State, and should be filed by man in every re-
spect qualified for the office. Mr. w. is the man,
elect him and you will never regret it. Wg,

cnt, the FHlTHeld Ledger says:- II
Mr. Benton the present incumbent, is the nomi
nee OF the Locofoco office-holders at Iowa City,
and is entirely unworthy and unit for the post
The Office in his hands has been grossly neglected.
which his last report fully shows, and he acknowl-
edges himself in SO many words that he is either
incompetent or unable to attend to its duties. He
says, in speaking of the many duties incumbent
upon him, ssthat portion OF the duties must DC TO-
tally neglect or that all Of them WILDE impefectg
attended to-" Now does il look plausible that
man who is actuated by pure motives would be SO
anxious, as Mr. Benton appears to be, to fill an
office, the duties of which he knows, at the time, to
be more than he is able to attend to, in proper
and Legitimate manner We think not. No honest
and purely public spirited man would accept OF an
Office under any circums tances whatever, when he
knew himself to be unfit and incapable for the dis
charge of its whole duties. .E
