THE LAW IN THE CASE.

We mentioned last week that two of our young men had been appointed by county Supt. Moses as beneficiaries to the Arkansas Industrial University and ex- pressed our opinion that such ap- pointment was irregular and not made in accordance with the law as it now is. In support of our opinion we now refer to sec. 6 of an act entitled "An act changing board meetings and establishing the office of Regent for the Arkan- sas Industrial University and other purposes" approved March 6, 1875.
 This section provides that the Board of Trustees shall apportion the number of beneficiaries among the different counties of the state according to population, and shall notify the JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT of each county of the num- Der ofbencficiaries apportioned to his county at least one month prior to the annual meeting of the county court for levying taxes; and the COUNTY CoURT at said meeting shall appoint from actual residents of the county, the num- Der of beneticiaries apportioned to the county, preference being given to those noted for diligence and proficiency in study, and the appointments so made shall be entered of record in the proceed ings of said court. Any vacancy which may occur during the term shall be filed by the COUNTY JUDGE.
 From this it will be seen that Mir. Moses erred in making the appointments. His selections were excellent, and we would have no objection to that officer making the appointments IF IT WAS THE LAW.
 Judge Thach informs us that he has received no notice yet of the apportionment, but as the court does not meet until the 25th day of Oct, there is ample time and we presume that the matter will be attended to in due season.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-08-26

Since writing the foregoing, Judge Thach has shown us an announcement which he has just received from the Secretary of the Board of Trustees from which it appears that Pope county is enti tied to four beneficiaries and+that there are four vacancies to be filled. Benefciaries are required to pay a matriculation fee of $5, ,O0. Board in the town and and vicin- ity $500 to $3,50 per week.
