: ; i _ gt eA MON LIGA SET wo ied instead of from Californie.” paneer ei SATURDAY, NOV. 27, 1869. THe Pustic Scnoo. System.—It is apparent that the time is not far distant when the friends of the Public School system of America will be called upon to defend it against its cacmies, and it is well for these who hold that the education of children shall be provided for by the State, and that the 80 established should be free ir sectarianism to be ready for the issue. Only a few years since a strong effort was made in this State to divide the school fund among denominational schools, and the Board of Education in San Francisco has to all intents and purposes placed one of the schools, to which the public funds are appropriated, under sectional control. This is all wrong, anda violation of State law, _ which woald warrant the Superintend_ent of the State in withholding the State money, and it should be done. In New York City, the authorities have gone further than they dare goin San Francisco, and mode an actual division of public fands among denominational schools, Harper’s Weekly says: In the city tax levy there was a clanse inserted, directing a certain sum should be taken from the city revenues and given to such schools, * * * The result is, that $214,987 have been taken from the city money and given to fifty___ three sectarian schools. Of this sum, ' ceive $153,888 and twenty-eight Protestant schools receive $61,107. This is a step towards the overthrow of our system, and it matters not from what source it comes, it sheuld be crushed ip the beginning. Give over the control of the public schools to the influence of Demiocrats and they will divide and subdivide until their efficiency is entirely destroyed. The public school system is indispensible in the United States,and it has been the study of our greatest men to so improveit, as to make it acceptable to every man,and to so guard it that neither party nor . geet shall enervate or destroy ft. Let the people guard it well, if they would preserve it-from the attempts now being made to destroy it. Siatees cao : An Ieportant Cask Decipap.—We ‘clip from the Bulletin of Novy. 15th. Following are the principal points in a case recently decided in the Fifteenth District. Court, in which the People were plaintiffs and the Hibernia Bank and seven others were defendants, and in which the plaintiff sought to recovet the amount of taxes assessed to. the ~ defendants and alleged to be delinguent. Section 4, of the Act of 1862, provides that the assessor shall assess on all money: at interest or loaned, and on all solvent debts over and above that the person assessed may owe. Section 3, of the same Act, provides that all money on hand or on deposit, or on interest, or gold dust, shall be assessed for taxes. ' It was shown that the; Assessor went to the Hibernia Bank and: proposed: to assess the amount of money that they had on hand. The officers of the Bank protested that he ought to assess the depositors. But the assessor said‘ he would assess them, and then when he found any depositor who said he had funds in that bank, he would compute the taxes thereon and strike out the assessment against the Bank to the amount. The Court held that the Assesgor did wrong by proceeding in this, manner, and that he should have assessed the depositor in each case, as the Banks always owed more to depositors than the amount which they had ‘loaned out. Judgment was theretore given in favor of the defendants. THE Cal says that “the C.P.R. R. extending to Ogden, will prove a decided gain for our merchants and traders, because henceforth they can send goods direct to Ogden—no tranghipmeat at Promontory—and from the former town the Mormons have their . ‘own road ta, Salt Lake City. Over the latter road we suppose our merchants will enjoy equal privileges with Eastern merchants and traders. Our town will hereafter have a chance of supplying Utah, instead of that market being glutted by the sharp fellows from Chicago, With that fifty-five miles in bands of the Union Pacific, our traders were placed at a disadvantage, aa it Wes to the interest of that Company to encourage}'shipments from the East, = aily ‘Transcript, RoBBING THE DEAD.—Just after the inst,, the body of Judge Baldwin, says the Oakland Transcript of the 22d, was robbed of two diamond pins and a sum of money. Capt. Tarbett was informed of the circumstance, and he has taken great pains to ferret out the miserable thief. The police arrested’ man a few days since, supposed to be the culprit. The evidence is-entirely circumstantial, though 4pite convincing, and the prisoner will Hive a hearing before the Police Court.” aDixtne Car.—The Pallman palace dining car International arrived in Sacramento by the Central Pacific train Thursday morning. It is the intention of the Central Pacific Railroad Company to attach it to the accommodation train on the Western Pacific Railroad, which leaves Sacramento at 630 a.M., and returning leaves San Francisco at 4 *. M. Passengers by the former train will be furnished breakfast, and those on the afternoon train with dinner. WHeEatT vs. Cueat.—Wheat never turns to, cheat, (tares) nor does cheat ever turn to wheat. If cheat is not sown with the wheat, and there is none, on the ground, there will be none found in the growing crop. Cheat is often found growing so closely among the roots of wheat as to have the appearance of having come from the seed.— Bat that is not the case. Wheat will never become cheat, however badly it ‘may be damaged or degenerated. The two are quite different plants, Durie the five years since the mechanics of Charlestown, Massachusetts, opened the co-operative grocery and provision stores on Banker Hill and Main streets, the association has paid, in dividends, interest and percentage on non-members’ trade, over $15,000, the capital stock averaging not over $6,000. They do a stricely cash business, and their receipts in a single night have exceeded $1,000. a ee ; Ox the night of the 18th inst., there escaped from the Yolo County Jail four persons—Gus Hamilton, Thos. Hodge, Thos. Harris and —— Reynolds, Hamilton is five feet eight inches high,spare built, small mustache; Hodge has a light mustache, is of light complexion, five feet eight inches high, and looks sickly : Reynolds is five feet six inches in hight, black hair and mustache, and has a downcast look. Goop FoR OMaHA AND ProMonToRY. An Dmaha special of Nov, 23d, Bays: “Vigilance Committee gave the gamblers. yesterday six hours to leave, which they cid instantly. The Vigilance Committee at Promontory also drove out all thieves and gamblers.” We all Know that Promontory was overrun by these villains ; and it is possible that Omaha was much annoyed by them also. Omaha claims to have & population of twenty-five thousand. At Utica on the 28d instant, a jury rendered a verdict for $18,000 damages in favor of Norman T, Smith, an. engincer of the Central Railway, against that company. Smith had received-injuries a year ago by the collision ef two trains on the road. > if THos: Mooney made a speech at San Francisco toa large audience, in . which he favored a State tax of $30 per month on Chinese working here and a fine on those whe employ them. . THE heaviest hammer in the world has recently been manufactured by an English firm tor the Russian Government. The hammer, aavil block and all weigh one thousand tons—the hammer alone forty-two tons, It is to be used in forging cannon. In tearing. dowa./the wall of an old building in Helena, M. T. the other day, a workman came across two gold bars, worth $500 each. Noone knows who,placed them there, and the probs, bility is they will fall to the lucky finder. He Buabey, iu his distilling works in the Natoma Vineyard, El Dotado‘coun‘ty, is said to have one of the best stills in the United Sta is publican as, follows: “Passengers over the Western Pacific Railroad can not fail to notice the marked and rapid improvements in the way of building and farming along the line of its route. Many acres which a few months sinee were unmarked by the husband‘Tian, are now converted into wheat fields, and at every station between Sacramento did the mouth of Alameda canyon, thriving viljages have sprung up and an active basiness is created. Nearly every foot of the W. P. BR. passes througha rich farming region, which will not only make the stations already ¢stablished places of importance and pecuniary benefit to the road as well as great advantage to the surrounding country, but will necessitaie the opening of many other depots at points not yet provided for. At Galt, Woodbridge Mosedale, Banta’s, Corral Hollow (or Ellis’,) Zinc House, Tiptop, Livermore and other stations along the road, many substantial buildings are already eompieted, and others in' course of construction, while at each place a thriving and remuhersative business is already established.” Tue Cost. or a CaLirorniA Trip.—aA traveler gives the following list of his expenses from New York to ‘San Francisco: Through ticket in New York, $150; Pullman car to Chicago, $3; to Promontory, $8; to Sacramento, $6—making $20. Meals, seven days, all incladed, $15. Total, in greenbacks, $135. The figures from Chicago at this rate would be about $160. : Tae St. Joseph's Convent, at Toronto, Canada, was destroyed by fire November 171 but all the inmates were saved. A MOVEMENT is on foot to abolish the present city government of Los Angeles, and secure the passage of an act county under one government. J. Ross Browne is to make a tour of the southern counties in behalf of a railway from Stockton to Tulare valley, San Bernardino and Los Angeles.
Asorner Propicy.—There is now living one mile from Stony Point, Jackson county, Missouri, a boy born in Mercer county, Virginia. He is now about nine years. old, and has never sag not a member of the family. hen alone with his brothers and sisters he converses er d and plays lively; when neighbors’ children visit them he will accompany them, but will not te a word in their hearing. While and not aware of the presence of others, he has been heard to whistle and sing. He displays some genius in making sleds, wagons and many other things that children amuse themselves with. He weaned. himself at seven months old from his mother’s breast, afterwards, His father came to Missouri on board of a boat. The passengers discovering his singular freak,tried all manner of plans to induce him to speak offering him large sums of money, but all devices failed. His mother says she has coaxed at times, af others teased, and at others pie i and yet he will not speak one word to her. When be is not tar away at play, and she calls for him, he will come as quick as he can, and do what she telis him with a lively good humor. In the presence of strangers he is bashful and distant. —[Exchange. A cuRtIous fact is brought to public attention by. recent statistics published in England. In thirty-two counties of that country, and in twelve of Wales, there are one thousand three hundred parishes and hamlets in which no liquor is sold. Nortolkshire contains one hundred and twenty-seven parivhes and townships in which there is neither beer shop nor public house. Lincolnshire places, and Dorsetshire one hundred and eight; Gloucestershire has eighty-three and Leicester eighty ; Hertfordshire \as one. Devonshire twenty-three and Cornwall twenty-five PostaGE STamPs.—The following is a description of a new design made by some one in the Bureau of Engraving Washington: me Inthe centre of the stamp is the head of President Grant, with a beautiful tig peunsiet weaved lines of dif. erent colors are put. some of the stamp, which add Se gg yg appearance, and isa’ perfect protection against ph aphi being used the second time, The photographers can take exact copies of aby stamp containing but one color, but when there are several colors to be copied their art tails, Hence the great value of the proposed new stamp, with its vari-colored ‘borders.

Let net your prejudice usurp your reason to the everlasting injury of your health. If you are sick and require a medicine, try theee Bitters. . When the bodily energies are worn out by anxiety and need a stimulant, this is the best that can betaken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent it from fevering the blood; and hence :t does not produce a mere temporary excitement, to be followed by injurious reactionbut commanicates a permanent potency to the entire vital organization. Some ofits herbal cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of neryous disease, a dose of it taken towards bedtime will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitat:on of heart, tremors, hysterics, fainting fits, general restlessness and the causelees fears and distressing fancies to which iadies are especially subject, under certain morbid conthe Bitters will be found the most agreeable and certain of all counter irritants.
