Wak PUBLIC sCHOOLS. “Tt is much to be regretted that’a member ‘of the legislature ‘of California should feel ‘Hidewelf called "ipon toutter such o mass ‘of slanders;~upon the people and the pub‘Hierachools of his state, as are to be-found in ‘the reported speech of Mr. Montgomery, in ‘the Assembly, while advocating a change in the school law for sectarian purposes. He depicted the public schools as hotbeds of vice ‘and infamy. In short—if his assertions . should gain credence, no parent or guardian, -of @véli ordinary claims to respectability, -would-ever permit a child under his—care to ‘enter a public school. Happily, for the pa‘rents and guardians, there istoo much intel-. ‘ligenee and-good sense in the state to permit the slanders of the sectarian champion to ~qrork any injury-at home. But,though innocuous at home,the libellous ravings of the bigotted Assemblymen may meet,with believers vabrond. His speech may find its way into . -eastern prints, and the dignity of his official position give it an undeserved prestige. The ‘effect of a widely spread and uncontroverted publication of such a tissue of false and slanderous accusations against the fair fame of California may. be readily conjectured. It would deter the pure and the worthy from casting their lots with us, while it would in‘vite’the vile and wicked to our shores.— ‘This base attack, on the very noblest institu‘tion that California can boast, was not made ‘in the heat of debate, when momentary irritation induces a man tu say things which in ‘hid cooler moments he regrets, On the con‘trary, it was a carefully studied attack, and the preparation for it was, no doubt, the employment ofdays and weeks. How the peo‘ple of Sutter county, Mr. Montgomery's con«stituents, will regard their Assemblyman’s effort te defame the state and crush the public-scheel system under » mass of malicious ifalachoeds, will be known hereafter. If they cover again permit him to desecrate the halls " .ofdegislation, they will prove themselves an worthy uf the proud appellation of Califormans, and the sooner they secede from the . state the better for its dignity and fame. ‘CALIrornnia CoNGRESSMEN.—If an extra »gession of Congress should be called by the President, within a month, of which there is rauch probability, California would be found ‘without a single member of the Congressional House of Representatives to obey the summons. The terms of Messrs, Scott and Burch expired on the 3d of March ; and, un‘less an immediate special election for Con.gtessmen should be authorized by the legislature, their places will not be filled nati September. 3 President Buchanan, in. one of his measa.ges, recommended all the states in the Union to elect their members of Congress on some day previous to the 4th of March, every alternate year. The Sacramento Union,which argues this Congressional Election subject ‘very cogently, contends thet, as the Consti‘tution of the United States only prescribes ‘that “The House of Representatives shall ‘be composed of members, chosen every wecond year by the people of the several “gtates,” the Cungresstnen should be elected iin the-fall of the year and hold office for two whole years, dating from their election. Under such an arrangement, unless death or resignation should step in, our State would always be prepared for the call of an extra @ession. As we have just remarked, there is much reason to believe that the President will convoke Congrese at an early day. The recent ‘pony news, if reliable, shows that events are thickening in the seceded states, and that the prospect of strife and blondshed is daily grow‘ing more decided ; besides,it is of the utmost importance that some material modifications of the recently enacted tariff should be made in order to re-establish friendly relations with France and Great Britain. An extra session seems indispensable in the present position of affairs. ated Inisu OFFICIALS.—Mooney, the historian . and editor of Mooney’s Express, points with much exultation, to Gov. Downey and Chief Burke of the San Francisco Police, both Irishmen, as two of the most efficient and eonacientious officials in California.

Sacramento Umon, Mr. Banks, of San Francisco, in his reply to Montgomery, called upon him for a retraction of the slander or the name‘of the person who had communicated it to him. Montgomery refused to retract, but gave as the author, Wm. G. Wood, of San Francisco, Minute Clerk of the House, (a position which he has occupied fer two.or three winters) but also stated that-the latter did not pretend to have “seen the transac-. tions,” deriving his precious information from ‘‘heresay.” CHANGE OF VENUE.—The Supreme Court of the state having decided that the late special act of the legislature, authorizing a change of venue in the case of Horace Smith, is not unconstitiitional, Judge Campbell, of the twelfth district court, made an order, on Saturday,transferring the custody of the prisoner to Placer county. The decision of the Supreme Court, iu this mutter, is.a long and labored one, and was written by Judge Baldwin. Judges Cope and Field concur in the opinion that the act of the legislature is constitutional, the latter taking exceptions to some of the views and reasonings of Judge Baldwin. MATRON OF INSANE AsYLUM.—Dr. Til den, who was recently elected, by the legislature, Chief of the Stockton Insane Asylum, has made one appointment which goes far to prove that he “is the right man in the right place.” “Among his first official acts was to” procure the services of Mrs. E. J. Farnham, as matron of the institution. Mrs. Farnham ranks among the first and foremost intellects of the day, and her heart is a perfect fountain of benevolence. For many years she ocpied the post of matron of Sing Sing prison, New York, and the reformatory discipline she introduced into that institution, remains an enduring monument of her intellectual strength-and goodness of heart. FATE oF A REFORMER.—The orignal of the ancedote imposed on the biographer of Wilberforce to the effect that, when a boy, his father showgd him a picture of the Saviour on the cross,as a warning of the fate to which all reformers were exposed, occurs in the * Beo,” a periodical o {the 18th century, and is as follows :*“ The old man takes his son by the hand, and drawing back the cirtain in the room, discovered a crucifix exquisitely painted. ‘My son’ said he, ‘you desire to change the religion of your country —behold the fate ofa reformer !” nn RE ALTERING STANDARD oF Corn.—It is said a law will be passed as soon as the Southetn Union is recognized, fixing the standard of coin lower than the present one, thus inviting immense quantities of our coin for remelting. Should the percentage be even slight, the difference would be imaiénsé in two or three mfllions. ae FREDERICK NAFZIGER.—Inquiry is made by the Sister Superior, at the Convent of Notre Dame, Marysville, after Frederick Nafmger. He is a Swis by birth,and speaks the French language. He was last heard from in that city in 1852. te It is thought that Mrs. Lincoln must be a model of feminine piety, because every night she “ reposes on Abraham’s bosom.” 9 The Douglas State Central Committee is called by J.

It seems that a good many of the applicants for office from California inaugurated a war against Senator Baker, and he and they had a meeting and a wordy set-to in the presence of the President. Simonton, of the 8. F. Bulletin, acted as the talking champion of Baker's foes. Simonton reud papers against Baker, which the President unceremoniously threw into the fire, because he considered them disrespectful to his friend of twenty-tive’-years standing. Mr. Lincolo acted quite Jacksonly on the occasion. At asubsquent meeting of all parties matters, itis said were arranged more pleasantly There is anugly squinting at war at Charleston and Pensacolo. Fort Sumter was still oceupied by Major Anderson’s command at the date of the last advices, and. a United States vessel, on the night of the 3d of April, in attempting to enter Charleston harbor, was fired into by the battery on Morna’ Island, and was compelled to put back. Major Anderson's command, at the last dates, was completely cut off from all supplies, and there was an inflexible necessity for either evacuating the fort or relieving it jmmediately. The Brooklyn navy yard was jn ‘great activity and several armed vessels were about to sail, most likely for Fort Sumter or Fort Pickens, or both. It is~ stated that there are strong indications of immediate attacks on both forts. The Secession Commissioners at Washington have peremptorily demanded the surrender of Sumter and Pickens.: The U. 8. Government, there is reason to believe, will reinforce Fort Pickens. What isto be done.wih Fort Sumter is notknown. The probability 1s that an attempt will be made to throw reinfotcements ‘and supplies into it. The troops that lately arrived from Texas have been ordered southward, There are many circumstances men tioned in the pony’s news going to show that the Federal Government means to fight. “The Virginia Convention adjourned sine die, on the night of the 4th of April, refusing to pass an ordinance for immediate seccesion by a vote of 45 to 85. The Republicans have carried the State offices in Connecticut, losing two Congressmen. The Anti-Republicans have carried ‘Rhode Island, including two Congressmen, and the City of Brooklyn by 4,500 majority, Ci ti by 2,000 majority, St.Louis by 2,600 majority, also, Cleveland, Sandusky, and Toledo, Ohio. The Secessionists have carried Richmond, Va., by 1,000 majority. The Republicans have been victorious in Portland Me., Monmouth and Warsaw, Ill., and Dubuque, Iowa. ‘ The Mexican General, Ampudia, is marching'a force against Brownsville, Texas. What with the Mexicans and Indians, the Te xans have their hands full. Their secession and dismissal of the United States troops have brought an infinity of treuble upon their hands. They will soon wish themselves back in the protection ofthe Union. “There are a good many other items in the pony’s news. which carry too much of the sensation stamp to warrant belief. Our space forbids adverting to them now. INDIAN BATTLE.—A correspondent of the Union, writing from Silver City, April 13th, says: The Pah Utahs and Shoshones had an engagement last week near the sink of the Carson, in which the Pah Utahs were completely routed, and lost several killed, causing their squaws to wail greatly over their loss. =a .
