The schooI Superintendcnt..

Some OF the members OF the Senate
are firm in the belief that the Committee
for Courts of Justice were in error in
their opinion that school superintend-
ents must be appointed during the pres
ent session of the Legislature, in order
that the appointments may be acted on
by the Senate before adjournment. The
probability is that no action will he taSen
for some time to come, and the appoint
ments will be considered at an extra ses-
sion next winter, which, it is generally
conceded, will be held.

JUDGFS' VIEWS,

Judges Fauntleroy and Richardson
concurred with Judge Hinton.
Judge Lacy di,sented. lie thought
the case against the accused clearly made
out.
Judge Lewis said that at the begin
ming he WAS of that opinion, too, but
mature reflection had compelled him to
change his mind. That there was cause
for grave suspicion against accused there
wasno doubt, butsuspicionis not enough.
He also thought that it was grave error
on the part Of the Judge in refusing the
instruction referred to 10y Judge Hinton.
in the opinion of good many the
Judgment OF the Supreme Court Will ne
cessitate the discharge Of the prisoners,
unless since the trial important new evi-
dcncc has been discovered.
Judge T. G. Moncure. of Caroline,
presided in the trial, the Judge OF spot

CHILDS' CANDIDACY.

Everybody knows GEORGE W.
CHTLDS, of the Philadelphia Ledger.
They know him rs newspaper man,
who got rich publishing the sleepiest
newspaper in all the world. 1t was
Mr.. CHILDS' good fortune to publish a
newspaper in Il town where SleepineSS
Is at premium. and, consequently, the
sopOritic effects of his journal grew into
wonderful popularity. The result is
that the Ledger became gold mine to
Mr.. CHILDs. The proprietor of the
Ledger has made good use of his
money, and the record of his generous
deeds can be read in the manifold
charities which bless the Quaker City.
But Mr.. CHiI.Ds has hobby,
which is nothing more or less than
toadying to men who hold high station.
Ii is perhaps a pardonable hobby, be-
cauSe of its common prevalence. Mr..
CRlLDS IS not the only person afflicted
that way. His ambition never reaches
higher qualification than when he is eX-
tending the hospitalitieS of his home to
president of the United States. His
notorious fondneSS for dining presidents
is serving Mr.. CHuDs good service at
this tine i'll thar it is giving him preSi-
dental boom. 1t so happens that the
Republican party is hard up for
candidate at this time. With
BLAINE and SHERIDAN and all
the leaders who can create en-
tluSiasm declining to accept
nomination the party manipulators are
looking around for man who will put
up money for the tinSeled toy. ALL
son aud HAWLEY and some others are
anxious to have the prestige nomina-
ton gives, but they have no money.
SHERMAN has good bank account, but
his proyerbial StingineSS rules him out
OF the race. The man who let his friends
pay his expenses at the last Chicago
convention is not the man who can be
relied on to shell out literally in po
litlcal campaign. The machine operators
want Doodle, and they want candidate
who can be squeezed. 1t has occurred
would about fill the bill, so they are
after him nard to agree 70 take the NOM
inatiOl. But Mr.. CHILDS seems to
smell mouse. He makes an emphatic
statement in his paper that he does not
want the nomination and will not have
it. Still the machine operators con-
tinue to press him hard. and it may be
that he will consent in the end. No
one suppOSeS for a moment that MIR.
CHILDS possesses 4 single qualification
for the presidency, but that isn't essen
tiai for a Republican candidate. The
man who throws money into the cam
paign is the man that the party manipu-
latorS want.
