Ne Hon. John Pattison for a copy of the ‘bill introduced by Mr Hunt, of Santa _ provides that the Cotinty™ Superintenden all each year set apart ten dollars from _ the county fand for each district, which he ig’ directed.to draw whenever a like amount shall be raised by-fax or contribution by the ‘Trustees. A librarian is to be elected year__ ly, 9nd is required to make an annual report. themselves of the privileges conferred under Becker arre¥ this act, the County Superintendent is ane _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 paying over agnin for duing what five are alStare Wormar scuoor.—The Bulletin says the next term of the State Normal Schvol will open on Monday, January 15th. _ Applications for admissivn are numerous, ~ and the achool will provably be well filled, The senior class will be composed principal_ Ip of young men aad women who have had sovetal years experience in teaching.

Another spring, near FI ‘State, throws ~ * t' confidence was restored assoon as i dition of affuirs in. our neighboring State . 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 certain te foll PREACHING SuUNDAY.—Rev. D. A.

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.” Gakat Sruings.—There ie x Spring ia the center of the town of Huntsville, Ala., from which flows a stream of water large’ enough to float a 30 ton batteau.
