Superintendent of Common Schools.

Under the Revised Code the Superintendent of
Common Schools holds over, and continues in office,
though no election is made; and election having
been made at the last session of the Legislature,
Mr.. Wiley, the present Superintendent, remained
in office, and will continue to do so for two years
more in case the Legislature should not see proper
to 60 into an election.
We have had opportunities as friend of public
instruction, as member of the Literary Board and
as the Editor Of public journal, of observing the
manner in which Mr.. Wiley has performed his
duties; and we can truly say that we have never
known any public officer to discharge his duties
with more fidelity, purity, or efficiency than he
has done. His removal at this time, and especially
on party grounds, would be an event very much to
be deplored by the friends of Common Schools in all
portions of the State. We earnestly and respect
fully appeal to the General Assembly not to intro
duce the spirit of party into our Common Schools,
and not to remove the present Superintendent to
make room for inexperienced and incompetent
officer: We are as good party man as any man
in the State; but in our humble opinion neither
the interests of the Democratic party nor the pros
perity of the Common Schools will be subserved by
the removal of Mr.. Wiley.

Mr. Reeves replied the old NV required 100 feet

not navigate the stream !; some hare passed down

Hea sked the House to vote down the amendments
Mr.. Dockery proposed to refer the bill back to the
committee for further consideration. .,,.r =
Mr.. Morehead considered the bill of much impor-
lance. There were SO few rivers navgable in North
Carolina that he thought the grievance, under which
the people labored ought to be removed. The river
ought to be made navigable to Wilksboro which
would bring down vast amount of produce and
make available large water power. He thought it
possible to facilitate navigation on the Yadkin at a
moderate expense. 1t was matter of importance
but had been formerly proposed on too great SCALE
The amount of produce to be transported would not
justify locks and DAMS but thought it might be ef-
fected by sleuce and batteaux navigation for forty
thousand dollars to Wilkesboro He hoped it would
not be passed in its present shape as there were va
rious ways by which to reconcile the different in
terests, without injuring the mill-owners A pas
sage for batteaux and for fish might be arranged.
He did not wish to interfere but he wished to make
the Yadkin navigable without destroying valuable
property. The bill was recommitted to the COM
mittee on Propositions and Grievances.

BILL ITS SECOND READING.
The bill concerning wild fowl in Currituck coun-
ty being read,
Mr. Baxter said the bill was one of deep interest
to the people of Currituck. He explained the bill
to be one necessary to the preservation of the rights
OF the citizens of that section He said gentlemen
from the north in the habit of killing and send
ing north large quantities of wild fowl but not
with the ordinary gun used from the shoulders or
arms, but large guns, 10 to 10 feet long, killing vast
quantities. It was war of determination, and he
wished to put stop to it, if not the fowl will be
either exterminated driven away from their
haunts. Another mode equally destructive
by freight at night" which frightened them
away. This bill would put end to the practice.
Though seemingly small interest, it was of the
utmost importance to his people
The rules being suspended, the bill unanimously
passed its second and third readings and sent to
the Senate
1t enacts that any person hunting at night, or
using any weapon, those fired from the should
er arms, shall be fined $25 for each offence,
half to the informer.
The House then adjourned.

THE COALFIELDS RAILROAD.

IHE COALFIELDS RAlLROAD.
Taking it for granted that the Legislature now in
session will devise some plan to aid in the develop
ment of the coal and other mineral deposits on
Deep River, and render them available to the State
source of rerenue, the question presents itself
hoU Gun 1T best be DONE? The stockholders of the
Fayetteville Coalfeld Railroad, asking for an
exchange Of bonds, and prefer that mode to enable
them to carry on their enterprise than soliciting
the State to become a partner with them. l have
glanced hurriedly over the pamphlet containing the
proceedings of the annual meeting of the company,
and noticed the report of the Engineer on the re-
cepts of the road His figures all seem to be right
and estimating only transportation of 500 1000
something over eighteen per cent on the capital
stock But this is a low estimate, and coal will
only be article, and that the least important,
far the profit dericed for transportation is
cerned, to be realized by the stockholders. The
opening of these immense treasures on Deep River,
aoW at direct the attention of the general gov
eminent and capitalists to that point, and soon
shall witness the erection of extensive toundries,
machine shops and rolling mills, in which will be
fabricated all manner of iron-works from simple
axe to the costly locomotive All these manufactur
ed articles (sohach pay more for their freight to
market than coal) will add to the receipts of the
road, equally as much in amount as the Engineers
estimate of the coal alone! Assuming, then, that
the receipts of the road will only be what the Eng
neer has estimated, the 500, 600 tons of coal will
yield eighteen per cent What then is the true
policy of the State in the matter to exchange bonds
with the company, or become a partnerin the enter
prize that is the question. l hold that the Safe
ought to become partner and from her investment
therein, derive revenue which would tend greatly
to lessen the loss she is sustaining, by reason
of her subscription to other soorks of internal inn
provement The dividends on $500, 900, at eighteen
per cent, would relieve the people of much of the
heavy tax imposed to meet the interest on rail-
road bonds.
:.
State partner, but if partnership be effect
ed, the true interest of the State is to make it.
The aid now asked for by the company might be
granted with the understanding, that the State have
the privilege of converting the bonds into the stock
of the company at any time within five ten years.

Hon. PhilO White.

Inc 1oHOWlng editorial article from Quito paper,
shows the high respect and regard entertained for
the Hon. Philo White by the citizens of Quito, Ecu
ador and is deserved tribute to the able discreet
and admirable manner in which he performed his
duties as Minister Resident in that country:
From the "Artesano" of Quito, Sept %, 1858.
ECUADOR.
TRANSLATED FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD
Mr. Phlo White, true representative of liberty,
of civilization, and of the progressive principles
which pervade the North American Union has been
relieved from the duties which devolved upon him
as Minister Resident of the United States in Ecua-
dor, by another gentleman of equal grade. And on
his retirement he leaves behind no clement of dis
cord nor of diplomatic scandal as has unfor-
tunately been the with some of the other for
eign diplomats accredited here; on the contrary
sentiments ofsprofound regret pervade this commu-
nifty on his departure from among us-a regret pro-
portioned alike to the probity of-his character and
the conservative principles be incucated as well as
to the concliatory of policy he ever observed
during the five years he sojourned in onr midst
which was eminently pacific, republican, popular
and social.
Devoted to the expansive principles of Democra-
cy,-always friend of the people, and an uncom-
promising advocate of truth and justice,-he has
given the most unequivocal proofs that he fully ap-
preciated, as he has most honorably fulfilled, the
cardinal purpose which his and other enlightened
nations have in view in sending diplomatic agents
abroad, -agents who, like Mr.. White, not only en-
joy the respect and esteem of their own country
men, but conciliate the most friendly regards and
enlist the warmest sympathies and admiration of
the governments and the people where they are &C
credited.
This tribute of respect towards Mr.. White from
the citizens of Quito is the sincere expression of
their personal regard and of their high appreciation
of his many virtues. We unused to the Ian
guage of diplomatic compliment which is too often
are the friends of all who are the friends and cham
pions of the peoples rights, we do no more than
sheer justice in landing the meritorious deeds, and
honoring the distinguished character Of the gentle
man who is the subject of this editorial article.
