MONDAY, APRIL Sth, 1861. =a ‘THEOLOGY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS __ SMe Montgoniery, Assemblyman fron SutSter county, lately introduced a bill, a copy of “which has just reached us, which proposes to wniend—or, father, alter—section thirty-three -of the existing school law, so that any school, “numbering at least thirty pupils, shall have “the right to apply;-tbrough s board of trustees, to the State Superintendent of Public “Inetruction, for said. school to be enrolled among the public schools, under the appella“tion of a freé public school, and to receive a “pro-rata: share of the public school funds, aub“ject to the following regulations and provis‘fons: That the usual English branches shall ‘be teught for five hours daily; and.that,_ “when, at the instance of the parents or guar-dians; the pupils shall: receive religious inwtruction, such instruction shall not lessen “the five hours of secularedueation. Ibis al“#0 provided that where thereis no other pub‘Vie school within a mile, any parent or el dian shall have the right to send pupils to ‘this theological school ; anid if he object to ‘the religious instruction, the pupileof the “objector will be dismissed at the termination ' ‘the five hours.

The result will be, awhasever been the result where Theologians have managed to insinuate their fi.gers into the peculiar affairs of state, that the public school system, from being the very noblest institution in California, will degenewate into a series of jealous, hating, snarling, fighting, hot-beds of sectarianism. We have exactly the same respect fur the political Tights of the Catholic that we have for the righte of other Christians, and no All sects have ample protection, in the legitimate propagtion of their peculiar ‘tenets, and they ought to be satisfied with what they have, without attempting to seize upon the public schools to transmute them into theologica! stalking horses. “Tn no other state in the Union, in which a ‘eommon schogl system of education exists, ‘ig any sectarian doctrine or discipline been @dimitted, and we hope that our legislators Will have wisdom and manhness enough to wWaintain the system in California harmless from all such demoralizing influences. Our public schools were designed to educate our Boys and girls into intelligent and useful men and ‘women, not noisy, brawling, perse‘euting sectarians.

Eo SECTARIAN ScaooLs.—Mr. Montgomery, Assemblymen from Sutter, has introduced a bill intended to change the present school H iw of the State, so as to enable Catholic Schools to obtain a portion of the public ‘schoul fund. The Board of School Commissioners met in Marysville, last week, and in’ view of the proposed alteration of the school system, vesnimeusly passed the heapeieer., résolusion : Whereas, In view of the . measures . now being taken throughout the State to procure for Sectarian purposes, a division of the: State School fund: and whereas, a Bill to secure this division is now before the Legislature: and whereas, believing that the enactment of this Bill into a hws would be fatal to our whole Public Scheol System—therefore Resolved, That;we, the Commiasioners of: Public Schools, for the city ot Marysyille, , earnestly protest against the passage of this Bill.

The plan; it will be notieed, is evidently derived from the towers on wheels, which, during the Crusades and av im -through a large part of the dark ages, were used for conveying men and destructive agents up to the very walls of fartresses, furnishing them shelter there against assault from above while the destroying ugency was being carried onin the undermining the walls or setting some practicable portion of them on fire.— As used on the field ot battle, it would seem. to be a cross bet ween the modern locomotive. and the ancient chariot m which the demigods of Homer rode through’ the ranks of their enemies. It is highly probable that Greek fire is one of the destroying agents which the new machine is to throw out, as that deadly mixture is unquestionably about being again bronght into use bysome of the European nations. MorKevs as Foop,—Mr. Edwards, in his “‘ Voyage up the Amazon,” has some curious comments on the varieties. in the diet of his party, He says monkeys are eaten in that region, and are esteemed beyond all the wild game. When cooked they make a most delicious dish, though the rules by which they are served up are not to be found in any of the various cook books. One of Mr. Edwards’ party shot a sloth, and had the animal skinned, , with the intention of preserving the bedy for an anatomical friend.— But the cook was too alert, and had the sloth in the stew pan before an explanation was made. The hunters did their best to look with favor onthe dish, but the lean and tough flesh could not be compared to the delicate flavor of monkey.
