THE NEVADA JOURNAL. ——=_— FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 18, 1861. That Petition. We briefly alluded in our last to a petition in circulation for signatures designed . to procurea division of the school fund, . that the Catholics may establish separate schools of their own. The document we! have mot seen, but are informed it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to discover its . object at the first reading, and we are very much mistaken if it did not confound the perception of some lawyers in this city not from Philadelphia, The document is represented as most adroitly worded. A Jesuitical keenness is discovered in the entire language. The real object is cunningly left to be suspected. Why the Catholics do . not come boldly out and ask for their quota . of the school fund in so many words, is a mystery. There are no racks, wheels or thumbscrews for them here that they should beat the devil round the bush rather than spesk out like men. Boldness and frankness command respect, where the opposite qualities do not. Perhaps had they been more plain and explicit in their requests their object might have commended itself more strongly to . those who did not sign the petition because of its blindness. Weare not sure if the Catholics had not couched their petition im . such suspicious langnage as if they were ashamed to let its object be known, that its purpose might have struck the minds of all classes of Christians as highly commendable. It might have been the major premise of a great many good arguments which ought not to be spoiled on account of the want of a little plain Saxon. We rather like the idea of dividing up the school fund. It furnishes a good subject for discussion. We go in for allowing the Catholics their . share, the Presbyterians theirs, the Baptists theirs, the Methodists theirs also; and then the Spiritualists want theirs of course and are entitled to it. Then there is a large class who are persuaded that “ ignorance is bliss” and would like their share in cash. We are in favor of accommodating every class to their liking. Let every religious denomination have its own school and con. acientious atheists have theirs too. It will . add to the material progress of knowledge. . We shall have a school house every few . rods or none at all. Schoo! masters will be . thick as blackberries in fly-time. Carpenters andlumbermen will get more business ; potatoes and garden truck will sell at better prices, fur nearly every other family will contain another consumer—the school master. The human mind requires novelty. Why not introduce the novelty of schools gotten up on the homeopathic system? The! . economy in the use of public funds . favorable. old fogy notion that itis better to send a ebild two miles toa good schoo] than two rods toa poor one, it is true, prevails to some extent yet, but the plan of a teacher . to each scholar, or every boy his own schoolmaster, has not been tried since the dark ages. We have no objection to trying it again provided the wishes of each parent . of a child are equally respected. We want the plan carried out ‘ithfully. Let the} Catholics have their pro rata, each denomination of Christians theirs, and if a father who deems it “ folly to be wise” wants his share in shillings, let him have his rights . too. Treat all alike and let the rising gereration grow up under the festering care of the government, without prejudices one against the ether, on account of different . religious and moral views. So shall fraternal feelings and good neighborhood be cultivated and a multitude yet unborn rise up and bless the McIinnigins, MeDoodles, McNoodles, and O’Goudies, who signed a eertain petition in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one. Tue Expcneine Prosect.—The Marysville . Appeal takes our Broad street neighbor to task for its remarks on the proposed coope. ration of the Republican Legislators with the Anti-Lecompten Democrats in expungiag from the journals of the Legis!ature the resolutions condemnatory of Broderick, passed in 1859. In the main, we agree with the article of cur Marysville cotemporary, but we radically differ with it on the prop-. sition to mutilate the journals. Not for the advantage of any party, or to gratify . any set of men would we alier the record . asit stands. The proceeding is not without . precedent in the doings of the American Senate, but nevertheless, we insist that the Legislature of California has no more right te erase a resolution reflecting upon a Sen. ator of the United States than to blot out} the resolution declaratory of the innocence . of Col. Whitman ona trial for impeach. ment; no more right than to put us down! for having supported an infamous bill, when we stand truthfully upon the record as opposed toit. Itis the boldest and most barefaced assumption for a parliamentary body to mutilate the record of its predecessors. . If there is anything disgraceful on the journals, let it stand to testify to the disgrace of the actors. After Legislatures do not blot out the disgrace by blotting out . the record of it. They ought not to attempt . it. Itis mutilating the written history of the State.

In the present aspect of parties, and condition of the State treasury, the question of who ought to be Speaker is one in a great degree of dollars and cents. ter, and any man who manages a newspaWithout knowing more of the Republican he would not willingly indulge in any extravagance judging by the school in which ie ars . . : he has been trained.

Granting that he possesses the requisite knowledge of parliamentary rales to fill the seat of Speaker, and passing over his Buikhead and extravagant record, there is another blot on his character as a Legislator which by no means should be overlooked. reasonable or fouler law was never proposed We undertake to say a more un. than the Libel law of last winter, and ConTo elect him to the Speakership is no encournable as it was and always will be. agement to a Legislator to establish an unbut reckleesness if nothing worse. tarnished record, rather encourages While, then, the House ought to organize, it really should not do so by the election of Conness. We regard him as one of the most objectionable men in (he whole body not on account of his ability, for that is unquestionable, but for the unsatisfactory . st course he has hitherto pursued towards the . people and A disposition seems to be evinced to ef. fect a union between the two wings of the } Democracy in the settlement of the Speak. . ership question, if we are to judge from the j tone of some of thedebators.

The . war of factions, notwithstan r the soothing remarks of Dela Gue not over. While Buchanan is blubbering like a booby or praying like a Pharisee, Douglas scowls and is “spilin for a fight.” And these in. dications show us that parties are in a great measure soon to be dissolved. California . Legislators may patch up a compromise g J between the wings of the Demecracy for . March, when the new President shall have declared for Union and the integrity of the States, the conservative men of the country will rally to his support without distinction of party. If the members of the Legislature are desirous of changing politics and political phases as often as possible, a spell . of harmony between the Deniccratic wings . may do. Rats Leaving tue Suair.—The proverb . of rats leaving a sinking ship is strikingly exemplified in the desertion of the Cabinet } of Buchanan. The Administration is about sinking beneath the contempt of the Amer} ican people, and three of the Cabinet have made haste to leave the rotten hulk before it disappears for ever. Cass, Cobb and . Floyd have deserted in the time of sore dis. tress, leaving the old Public Functionary . with nobody to helo him in the hour of. need. It must bea doleful state of affairs which would compel these office holders to . let go the public udder. Itis the werst lookiug feature of the times.

WuHaT WILL BECOME OF THE Patent OrFICE IF THE Union 1s Dissonvep ?—The above inguiry we extract from a business . letter received from a correspondent residing in Alabama. The idea ot a dissolution of the Union has forced upon his mind a painful interest in behalf of one of the noblest The dissolution of the Union can only be effected by a secession of some of the States. This would not necessarily break up the Federal Government, and, for the present, its seat of power would remain at Washington. Should the government acquiesce in the peaceful secession of the States, then, to all intents and purposes, these seceding tries, and theér itizens treated accordingly. But the business of the Patent Office would still go on, and al! applicants for pateuts . would be dealt with according to law. under such circumstances, be subject to all legal inabilities imposed upon foreigners, and upon a presentation by one of jthem of an application for a patent, the government fee would be $300. If an inventor could swear that he was still a citizen of the United States, even though residing temporarily in a foreign country, he would be required to pay a fee of only We believe we have stated the matter . fully and correctly, without reference to any of the political issues that connect themselves with the subject. Inventors who are desirous of applying for patents, and are apprehensive that the States in which they reside will withdraw from the Union, had better file their applications at once, and thus save themselves $270, being the Houses shall keep records of their pro.

If the present or any subsequent Legislature wishes to make amends to the shade of Broderick for injustice done to Broderick living, there is a proper mode. They can resolve, re-resolve and yet resolve again, and spread the whole upon their journals. They can declare their predecessors to have been unwise, impolite and unjust, and there will be none to dispute their right to do so, ahd few to question their judgment. But the Vandal spirit that would demolish the proud triumphs of barbaric act to wreak revenge on @ conquered race, or to gratify religious, or partisan fanaticism, is not to be commended.

THE NEVADA JOURNAL. ——=_— FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 18, 1861. That Petition. We briefly alluded in our last to a petition in circulation for signatures designed . to procurea division of the school fund, . that the Catholics may establish separate schools of their own. The document we! have mot seen, but are informed it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to discover its . object at the first reading, and we are very much mistaken if it did not confound the perception of some lawyers in this city not from Philadelphia, The document is represented as most adroitly worded. A Jesuitical keenness is discovered in the entire language. The real object is cunningly left to be suspected. Why the Catholics do . not come boldly out and ask for their quota . of the school fund in so many words, is a mystery. There are no racks, wheels or thumbscrews for them here that they should beat the devil round the bush rather than spesk out like men. Boldness and frankness command respect, where the opposite qualities do not. Perhaps had they been more plain and explicit in their requests their object might have commended itself more strongly to . those who did not sign the petition because of its blindness. Weare not sure if the Catholics had not couched their petition im . such suspicious langnage as if they were ashamed to let its object be known, that its purpose might have struck the minds of all classes of Christians as highly commendable. It might have been the major premise of a great many good arguments which ought not to be spoiled on account of the want of a little plain Saxon. We rather like the idea of dividing up the school fund. It furnishes a good subject for discussion. We go in for allowing the Catholics their . share, the Presbyterians theirs, the Baptists theirs, the Methodists theirs also; and then the Spiritualists want theirs of course and are entitled to it. Then there is a large class who are persuaded that “ ignorance is bliss” and would like their share in cash. We are in favor of accommodating every class to their liking. Let every religious denomination have its own school and con. acientious atheists have theirs too. It will . add to the material progress of knowledge. . We shall have a school house every few . rods or none at all. Schoo! masters will be . thick as blackberries in fly-time. Carpenters andlumbermen will get more business ; potatoes and garden truck will sell at better prices, fur nearly every other family will contain another consumer—the school master. The human mind requires novelty. Why not introduce the novelty of schools gotten up on the homeopathic system? The! . economy in the use of public funds . favorable. old fogy notion that itis better to send a ebild two miles toa good schoo] than two rods toa poor one, it is true, prevails to some extent yet, but the plan of a teacher . to each scholar, or every boy his own schoolmaster, has not been tried since the dark ages. We have no objection to trying it again provided the wishes of each parent . of a child are equally respected. We want the plan carried out ‘ithfully. Let the} Catholics have their pro rata, each denomination of Christians theirs, and if a father who deems it “ folly to be wise” wants his share in shillings, let him have his rights . too. Treat all alike and let the rising gereration grow up under the festering care of the government, without prejudices one against the ether, on account of different . religious and moral views. So shall fraternal feelings and good neighborhood be cultivated and a multitude yet unborn rise up and bless the McIinnigins, MeDoodles, McNoodles, and O’Goudies, who signed a eertain petition in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one. Tue Expcneine Prosect.—The Marysville . Appeal takes our Broad street neighbor to task for its remarks on the proposed coope. ration of the Republican Legislators with the Anti-Lecompten Democrats in expungiag from the journals of the Legis!ature the resolutions condemnatory of Broderick, passed in 1859. In the main, we agree with the article of cur Marysville cotemporary, but we radically differ with it on the prop-. sition to mutilate the journals. Not for the advantage of any party, or to gratify . any set of men would we alier the record . asit stands. The proceeding is not without . precedent in the doings of the American Senate, but nevertheless, we insist that the Legislature of California has no more right te erase a resolution reflecting upon a Sen. ator of the United States than to blot out} the resolution declaratory of the innocence . of Col. Whitman ona trial for impeach. ment; no more right than to put us down! for having supported an infamous bill, when we stand truthfully upon the record as opposed toit. Itis the boldest and most barefaced assumption for a parliamentary body to mutilate the record of its predecessors. . If there is anything disgraceful on the journals, let it stand to testify to the disgrace of the actors. After Legislatures do not blot out the disgrace by blotting out . the record of it. They ought not to attempt . it. Itis mutilating the written history of the State.

The . war of factions, notwithstan r the soothing remarks of Dela Gue not over. While Buchanan is blubbering like a booby or praying like a Pharisee, Douglas scowls and is “spilin for a fight.” And these in. dications show us that parties are in a great measure soon to be dissolved.

March, when the new President shall have declared for Union and the integrity of the States, the conservative men of the country will rally to his support without distinction of party. If the members of the Legislature are desirous of changing politics and political phases as often as possible, a spell . of harmony between the Deniccratic wings . may do. Rats Leaving tue Suair.—The proverb . of rats leaving a sinking ship is strikingly exemplified in the desertion of the Cabinet } of Buchanan. The Administration is about sinking beneath the contempt of the Amer} ican people, and three of the Cabinet have made haste to leave the rotten hulk before it disappears for ever. Cass, Cobb and . Floyd have deserted in the time of sore dis. tress, leaving the old Public Functionary . with nobody to helo him in the hour of. need. It must bea doleful state of affairs which would compel these office holders to . let go the public udder. Itis the werst lookiug feature of the times.

WuHaT WILL BECOME OF THE Patent OrFICE IF THE Union 1s Dissonvep ?—The above inguiry we extract from a business . letter received from a correspondent residing in Alabama. The idea ot a dissolution of the Union has forced upon his mind a painful interest in behalf of one of the noblest The dissolution of the Union can only be effected by a secession of some of the States. This would not necessarily break up the Federal Government, and, for the present, its seat of power would remain at Washington. Should the government acquiesce in the peaceful secession of the States, then, to all intents and purposes, these seceding tries, and theér itizens treated accordingly. But the business of the Patent Office would still go on, and al! applicants for pateuts . would be dealt with according to law. under such circumstances, be subject to all legal inabilities imposed upon foreigners, and upon a presentation by one of jthem of an application for a patent, the government fee would be $300. If an inventor could swear that he was still a citizen of the United States, even though residing temporarily in a foreign country, he would be required to pay a fee of only We believe we have stated the matter . fully and correctly, without reference to any of the political issues that connect themselves with the subject.

If the present or any subsequent Legislature wishes to make amends to the shade of Broderick for injustice done to Broderick living, there is a proper mode. They can resolve, re-resolve and yet resolve again, and spread the whole upon their journals.
