Senate yesterday by the President was
that of J. T.Hammond, of this city, to be
collector of customs for the district of
Annapolis, vice Thomas Ireland removed.
The appointment was made through the
influence of Hon Barnes Compton and
was somewhat a surprise to many. al
though 1t was foreshadowed in these col
umns some days ago, that Mr.. Hammond
would be the man. A more worthy APP
pointment could not have been made
Mr.. Hammond is an old citizen of Anna
polls, and held the same position under
President Buchanan's administration -
The salary is only $500 per year and there
were net great many aspiTants for the
place. The collector has the appointment
of inspector Of customs, an Office that
pays about $1,000 per annum. and has been
held by j. Guest King, Republican, for
the past twenty years and more, but un-
der the Democratic administration was
abolished on the LIST of January. The
Office was only sinacure, but, neverthe-
less The Republican party thought it Of
importance enough to continue the Office
for political reasons Fer this plum there
we've quite number Of applicants but
they al got left. 1t is thought. however,
that the Office will be re-established later

Let that cold of yours run on. You think
it is light thing. But it may run into

The Appointment of School Commission

The present mode of appointing the
Schoal Commissioners of the several
counties of this State is not at all In keep
ing with our form Of government, and we
hone the present Legislature will enact
law at this session taking the power out
of the hands ef the Circuit Court Judges
and placing il in the hands of the people
where il belongs, and who are better able
to Judge of those best qualified for this
important duty. 1t is matter in which
the people themselves are directly con-
cerned and interested In; and 1t is as
much their right and prerogative to chose
the persons TO manage their public school
affairs as il is to chose those TO manage
their county affairs. Several of the coun-
ties, we learn, intend introducing bills In
the Legislature to have the law changed
so that these officials will hereafter either
be elected by the people or appointed by
the Governor instead of by the Circuit
Court, as at present, but we think the
better plan would be to let the people Sc
lect their own representatives; and we
hope Anne Arundel will do the same
In some of the counties the judges have
refused to make the appointments, claim
ing that the exercise of such power was
noewithin the scope OF their constitu-
tional duties, and in those counties the
appointments have by law, been entrusted
to the Governor. Do ID less our circuit
court would be pleased to be relieved OF
this duty. Under the present system men
are often appointed upon the recommcn-
dation of some local politician for po-
litical purpose, who are utterly unfit for
the place and have no interest in the pub
lie schools whatever. The Circuit court
in exercising their judgment in making
these appointments, depend in measure.
upon the recommendation of the local
politicians, and in this way commissioners
are appointed who are unfit for the duties
and hold no interest in the public schools
except to make certain appointments OF
teachers, at the dictation of those who
put them in their places, and who are Of
ten as unqualified for the position as they
are themselves. The intention of the
present law was to take the public schools
out of politics as far as possible, but 1t
has failed its purpose, and we trust II
there is any change in the law at all it
will be put in the hands of the people
who are most interested.
