HOWARD HENDERSON.

Our distinguished friend and fellow
citizen, whose name furnishes a caption
for this article, isa candidate for renom-
ination to the Office of Superintendent
of Public Instruction. We have
known HOWARD HENDERSON, man
and boy, almost as long as we have
known any one. We were children
together, afterwards schoolmates, and
we have watched his brilliant career
in the pulpit and in letters with pride
and delight. He is a small man in
form, and feeble: yet in intellectual
ability and forensic force he is one of
the giants of the land. Infrm of
health, many men in his situation
would have laid down and died and
made an end of it. But his indOm-
table spirit of industry proved the
master of disease. He absolutely did
not have time to give up the ghost.
Such men as he are few in the world.
And while the body was always on the
move his mind and fingers were never
idle. He is creative, not initiative.
When he took hold of the Common
School system of Kentucky it was al
most in state of chaos; had been so
incompetently and unsuccessfully man.
aged that in many localities it was
looked upon with disfavor, and in some
totally rejected. His predecessors in
office knew nothing of what was need
ed to bring order out of confusion.
Legislation was needed to found and
perfect a system Ofgeneral instruction.
They were aware of this, and every in
telligent citizen knows the result.
The earlier laws relating to the subject
were worse than no laws at all. How
ARD HENDERSON saw the difficulties
to be encountered-difficulties that
would have discouraged any other man.
But he grappled them with pluck
born of the tireless energy for which he
is conspicuous, and, although his la
bors with the several Legislatures were
slow in producing results, yet the re-
suits did follow. One by one he gained
his points, step by step did he make
his way towards that perfection of our
educational system which is the dream
of his lite-a perfection not yet attained
but which he isapproaching nearer ard
nearer as the years roll by. Rotation
in Office is wise and profitable to the
people when an incompetent man fills
an office; but it is unwise and disas-
trous when we have good, cOmpe-
tent, energetic and faithful man in
harness. Such a man is HOWARD

muneratively employed. 1t would be
a grave error to set him aside now, just
rs he is upon the threshold of perfect
ing a system of free education that
will be not only an imperishable mon
ument to his creative genius, but an
honor to the State, and a lasting bene-
fit to all who are to follow after us.

At Elberton, Ca, on Saturday last,
there was a dispute about an account be-
tween Mr.. John Eberhart and DR.. Strib-
ling, which to all appearances had been
passed over, or rather abe parties in dis
pute had agreed to disagree. Some few
minutes after. without any appsyre ut prov
ocation, Mr.. Eberhart struck DIR. Strib-
ling with his stick, knocking him down.
The latter attempted to rise, when Jacob
Eberhart, son of the first one named,
knocked him down again. The second
time the Doctor essayed to get up John
N. Eberhart, another son, ran up and cI'i
HIM in two places, one of which was in the
bowels, with a dirk, producing a fatal
wound. At this juncture Mr.. Richard
Ward came up and took stand between
the contending parties, in order to prevent
any other assault on the Doctor. While
the senior Eberhart engaged Mr.. Ward in
front, John, the younger, came behind the
peacemaker and drove his dirk in his back,
directly under the shoulder blade, the
blade penetrating six or eight inches. pro-
dueing, in the opinion of the physicians,
fatal wound. The Eberharts are all un~
der arrest.
