Syllabus

<p>1. Resignation of an office—and acceptance thereof. A county superintendent of schools addressed and presented to the county court of his county, a paper as follows: “ The undersigned hereby tenders his resignation as county superintendent of schools.” This paper was received by the court, and handed to their clerk to be placed on the files of the court, and was by him so filed. This was a virtual acceptance of the resignation, which was not subject to be revoked by the party presenting it. It was not necessary to enter an order upon the records accepting the resignation in form.</p> <p>2. County Court—of the number to constitute a quorum. The county judge and one associate justice constituted a quorum for the purpose of accepting the resignation.</p>
