The _reason given out for this was, that the interests of the cause -of common school education in the State requir ed an official organ through which the State Superintendent couldspublish authoritative in • attections to directors, teachers, and - others, 'upon such, portions of their. respective. duties as were' not fully sit forth in the act of As sembly, and give constructions and decisions in regard to such portions of the act as might be liable to be misunderstood, or about the true intent and meaning of which dispute( might arise among those engaged io The eze outioa of•ita vations,p(ovisions. The adoption of this plan was generally acquiesced in by the people of the State, -and in accoidance with its suppoied object, the "decisions" of the "State Superintendent, as published from time to time, hava been re ceived by everybody, if not as "law," yet as authorized construction •of law, - and fully binding, unless set aside by the -State courts. So far were the decisions in this department considered. binding, that no one thought of questioning their official:force. •• They might •not always be satisfactory to all interested, -7 • as was not the law—yet they were acquiesced in tied their direction, complied with,the fault being chaiged, to the law itself. In practice then, these decisions have been as legal is the decisions of.ottr district coons. • Bat the, ,recent controversy between the Suite Superinterldent and the SuPeriatendent of Schuylkill county, has thrawt a new light open this subjeet. - The" power of removing. County; guperintendents is vested,by the law, in the Sate Supelinteudent. In construing this feature of the law, that official state. that they are entitled to a "fair hearing upon the charges and testimony against them, if they deire it." Bat when Mr. Hickok was asked 'to remorse Mr. Krewson, instead of notifying hiui that certain charges had been filed against him, - and that he' could, if be desired, have a fair hearing:upon them, -and, after - such bearing, making up his opinion in the -matter, and it adverse to the incumbent, removing him and then. making proper in• (pity as to who in the county was best salted to fill the vacancy, he, - Ito far as the record shows, plots in secret with Mr. Rrewspn's enemies and tivals, selects a snccesor, and itifOims.Mr.Krewson that be has been ousted. Of course tie inquiries are made—for 'whit am I removed !, • -•-and who are my . accusers! But the only re‘ponse is, in substance : "It is enough foe you to_ktiow that another is 'all your Station, and you have no privilege to chatecliise me as to my reasons.' - When reference is made to his own "decision,"-he creps out I ppon the shallow 'pretext :-- 1 -My decisions are noi law, I' am not bound by • them.? What nonsense 1 . A.4.,,we1l might a judge rule a point of ' law one way lo -day, and another way to morrow, and then en deavor to shirk responsibility by saying that his own decisions were 'snot law." 13y the man's own,record is he condemned. If his decisions are not: binding upon himself, directors, t+chers,---everybcdy—should pudiato hint and them With deserved con tempt. He having denied their validity,they should henceforth ho treated as though they bad not been'made. Any other course would be the utmost extent of fully. The repudiation of the ••officia7 Depart meta" by its authoi, naturally leads to the inquiry—By what . _ aMbotity are ;the tax payers of the Siate4required -to. contribute a large burn of money annually for the support of a particular journal 'The "offic al" feaiure being removed,the State-has no, more dutbority isubscribe., tlousand.copient of atoo be distributed free, 'than it has'to pay for a like number of any other educational, agricultural, scientific, - literary, political, br other publication in the State, or elreithere. Is it because it may chance to he a good , . joitinal I There are plenty of others'..qually valuable,' and per hap' many a great deal better. We knots of I but one feature about this - that lis, not post secsed by many others. Its editor was tune of the heroes of the notorious "Buck-Shot , War," who desired to treat the elections as though they had river been, held" In this respect it has no competitors, but whether this entitle - sit to be pensioned upon the State. We leave all-'to determine for themselves. One - thing deserves particular notice. Tue cditor in his attempt to bolster up the act of, the State Superintendent, was but aiding to carry out, on a snuffler plan the 13uck-Shot War creed Of 'fleeting the elections as though they . had never been held." In the first case he wisbejl to• set aside a State election; in the latter he aids in repudiating the twice repeated and alnuist unanimous voice of 12,000 qualified electors, given through the prope'r tedium; the school boards of the respeetivif d ists iota of Schuy. lki nottity. • Perhaps -the Sate Superintendent may. be acting in this -matter at .the 'asthma) :of others, but if so, it is no palliation, of the error. Men should-trot. suffer themselves to be: used as cafe-Paws to do the Lot jobs of . scheming patties. :The course of- the editor of thelancaster Jeurnal and certain parties in Pottsville, tend-to convey the impression that a combination kas been in existence to take from Mr. K. whit was bis by * gift of the people, and.bestow . it upon - those who had. out the merit that entitled them to it from the hands IX those whose right it waffle judge the, claims of Candidates.
