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.
