Viewed in the light of later de* velopments there are certain aspects of the late election of School Superintendent which deserve some further notice than was given last week. Two men received vote? at that election, both of whom we have no doubt are men of honor and ability. Familiarty with the duties of the office could be urged in favor of the one; practical knowledge of the business of teaching was to the advantage of the other, and the election could not fail to give us a good officer, whichever way it went. Now, if any of the gentlemen who voted at that election chose to take the ground that neither personal nor political consideration should be regarded in choosing a school officer we shall agree with them at once, and readily admit their perfect right to vote in accordance with what they believed to be the best interests of the schools. But what we do not admit is the right of any man to bind himself with repeated pledges to perform a certain act with the deliberate intention of violating every pledge when it was given. The course of a Certain trustee from the northern part of the county is not likely to be forgotten. Esan sold his birth-right for a mess of pottage, and at this day some men are able to dispose of self-re-spect and the esteem es their fellowmen at about as cheap a rate.
