Ne Hon. John Pattison for a copy of the
‘bill introduced by Mr Hunt, of Santa

shall be raised by-fax or contribution by the

_We have giv
the librarians report directly to the County
erintendent as: well as to Trustees, be~ eause in many cases it is a difficult matter
to get Trusteestu attend to their duties. —
The amoust taken from the School Fund
each year is so. small as to be scarcely missed, and the conditions upon which it is given-ate such as will insure the contributions
required. . With « small amount each year,
ia a short time a respectable school library
could be secured. We think that instead
of giving ton dollars to each district, it
‘be given to each Public School in:
the. county. In many districts there are
twe-or three schools, many of them several
miles apart. In such cases, though they
are equally deserving and contain as many
pupils, only one-half the money is given
them. These matters will no doubt be canvassed when the bill comes.ap for consideraTae Legislature bas o bill belure it
which provides for ‘the appropriation of
$3000, to send Surveyor Geueral Houghton
to Washington, in order to facilitate the
adjustment of difficulties between this State
and the United States, in relation to the
grants of land Congress. We think
thatthe passage of such an act by the Legislature would be a feflection upon the integrity and ability of our Repreeeutatives
at Washington. We have two. Senators
and three Representatives in the House,
. and they cértainly ought to be able te do
the business as well as the Surveyor Genoral, or any vther man. The passage of such
® law would be equivalent to a declaration
by the Legislature that the interests of the .
State cannut be safely intrusted to the California delegation in Congress. Even if it
were necessary to send the Surveyor General
East; the eppfipriation is too large. ‘The
amount proposed would maintain him in
good style for a year in the East, and he
already gets @ good salary. The land grants
had better be left to thuee who are already
at Washington, for no other purpose than to
look aftér.the interests of the State, and if
the business is not properly attended to let
them be held responsible for a neglect of
daty. ‘We donot believe in the idéa af

. and people are united in demanding relief;
either at the hands of the Legisiatare, or by
a reversal of the decision of the Court.—
With this example before them, members
of our Legislature who seek to repeal the
law, must be unmindful of the best interests
ef the State. If the object is to make grecabacks the circulating medium’ of the State,
those who hope to do so will fail._The citizens will meet and pledge themselvés to do
businese upon a coin basis ‘The repeal of
the law will effect nothing more than to
secure for unprincipled scoundrels the opportunity of swindling their creditors. The
General Government is determined to withdraw greenbacks from circulation as early
as possible. The Contract Act dves not
exclude them, it only ' provides for the enforcement of contracts, and it is not this law
which makes gould and silver our circulating
medium, but the nature of our buiness, and
the convienence of business men. We cannat believe that the nixjority in the Legislaturé will be willing to-repeal this law, and
bring upon-us the financial discord which is

Post Orrice Rerour.—The report of
the Postmaster General shows that the revenues of tia Department have exceeded the
expenditures fur the last fiscal year, by
$1,430. The receipts were $14,566,158;
$14,556,158; expenditures, $13,694,728,—
The estimated expenditures for the current
Year are $18,678 ,vUv, und the revenues $17,
470,543; leaving a deficiency of $1,207,457
willbe required, as the sta:.ding uppropriations for be last three years, amounting to
$2 100,000, are anexpended. It wiil be

~ THe Sacramento Univo advises the Legislature to “turn off the gas.” The Com
mittee on Federal Relgtions seems to be an
admirable “cut off” tht purpose, asd
the majority of the Legislature understand
how to work it. The Oppositian members
bring up. some question fur “buneombe,”
immediately a motion is made to refer the
watter te the Committe on Federal Relatious, and away goes the resulution to “sleep
the sleep that knows no waking.” Citizens
who prefer to have the Legisluture do the
work fur which. that body convened, are
ploused that the majority wake such good
use uf the “cut off.”
