The Maine Law In Maine.

40 NE Editors 81 inc W. T. 1Sosne:
Thefollowing queries were addressed to
Nr. Dow some time since, As will be seen ly their
date. They ARE particularly pertinent, now that
the advocates of prohibitory legislation find that
they must buckle on their arplOr and prepare for
che contest. They who imagine that Temper
ance men are Gappointed at she failure Of the
Maine Law" IN our Legislative are altogether
mistaken. On the contrary, its passage was no.
considered very desirable by its friends. The fear
mas that the Rum interest would drive it through
before public sentiment was fully ripe for it,
In due season the law will come. And when it
u passed, no intelligent man can doubt that it will
be egarded as it is in Maine:

cess thereto, in consequence Of the
remoteness of their location. The
Superintendent recommends to the
Legislature the appropriation of $780,
600 for the support and encourage
ment of schools. This would be
material assistance TO the effort now
being made to rear up and sustain so
commendable a system. Some years
must necessarily elapse before any
considerable amount of revenue can
be derived from the public lands gran
ted to the state for school purposes.
And such q measure receives addition
al importance from the fact that it is
necessary TO encourage by every pos
sible means the emigration of families,
in order to make permanent the pros
perity Of our institutions. 50 long
as our government manifest list
lessness on the subject of education,
parents will reluctantly bring their
children among US. But give them
once to understand that California is
doing, and will do, all in her power
to afford them opportunities to edu.
cate their children, and the greatest
objection TO bringing families here
will have been removed.

AusTRh-The organs of the Austrian
Government are loud in their laudations
of Louis Napoleon The Hungarian
journals disapprove Of his conduct,
1t is currently reported in Vienna that
the coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon had
been long preconcerted with the En-
perors Of Russia and of Austria THAI
the funds necessary for its accomplish
ment were furnished by the former, and
that they were transmitted to Paris via
Vienna.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Lon
don Times says that considerable sum
of money which had been forwarded to
Hungary by the London democrats had
fallen into the hands of Government
As the account current books of an
Austrian banker have been examined
without any result, it is supposed that
the revolutionary funds in question were
brought into Hungary by emissaries
Although great many arrests have re-
Gently been made in Hungary, the pa
pers are completely silent on the sub
ject. The nocturnal meetings in the
house inhabited by Kossuth's relations
were made known to the authorities by
two students, one of which lodged on the
ground tlosr, and heard an unusual noise

The other manner OF

their vote. The other manner of
changing the constitution is as follows ::
2. And If, Mt any time, two thirds of
the Senate and Assembly shall think it
necessary 10 revise and change this
entire Constitution, they shall recon-
mend to the electors 1T the next cleo
ton for members Of the Legislature, to
vote for or against the convention; and
if it shall appear that mojority Of the
electors voting at such election have
voted in favor Of calling convention,
the Legislature shall. at its next session,
provide by law FOR calling convention.
TO be holden within six months after
the passage of such law and such con-
vention shall consist of number ot
members not less than that OF both
branches Of the Legislature.
How different this is from the ope.
ration OF the bill introduced by Mr..
Boggs. First, two thirds Of the Sen
ate and Assembly, must agree that the
Constitution requires to be remodeled
They then ask the people if they will
have convention for that purpose,
which they decide by their ballots
after they have thus decided, the
Legislature must make provision for
the convention, aud not force it upon
us whether we want it or not. But
another thing shows concluslvely the
stupidity if not guilt of the man who
concocted this scheme. The consti-
tuition provides that the convention
shall consist Of number of members
not less than that of both branches OF
the Legislature" But Mr.. Boggs'
bill says the number "shall be the
same as the number of members of AS
senbly from the respective counties"

Report Of the Superintendent of Public In

Report of the Superintendent of Public In
structiou.
Through the kindness of John c.
Marvin, the State Superintendent of
Public instruction, we have received
"a copy of that officers first annual
report From the character of our
population, we can readily imagine
some OF the difficulties with which he
has had to contend, in arriving at any
thing like an accurate understanding
Of the situation of the various counties
ard cities in the State in relation to
schools and scholars. The document
before US however, appears to have
been made up with the utmost care
and great labor, and no doubt it is as
near accurate rs circumstances would
allow. From the report it appears
there are 6000 children in the State,
between the ages of and rs years,
and about 45 schools. Of these. San
Francisco county has 1000 children,
and 8 schools; Contra Costa. 400
children, and no schools, except in
private families Monterey, 500 chill
dren, 8 schools Napa, 100 children
3 schools; Nevada, 250 children, 4
schools; San Joaquin, 250 children,
2 schools; Sacramento, 400 children
3 schools Santa Clara, 800 children
: 3 schools Sonora, 250, children, {

Another lamentable fact we learn
by this report, is that in the remain

, 5000 children, no schools, except oc
casionally very inferior one, is to b,

LOWER GOLD TusNEL. On yesterday
we paid visit to this tunnel, and from
what we there learned, in connection
with what We had before seen and
heard. we are convinced that better
perhaps rs good, mine does nor exist
in California. If some other y ines,
faough certainly not as rich as this, have
failed to be profitable, it has more fre
quently been owing to bad machinery
or extravaganza in the expenditure Of
money, than to lack Of richness Of the
lead Such enormous wages have in
some instances been paid, as to preclude
the possibility of remuneration. If u
system Of economical expenditure OF
capital were adopted, it is certainly i'm
possible for such lead as that Of the
Lower Gold Tunnel to fail of returning
to its proprletors an immense fortune.
The rock is quite soft--in state Of al
most complete decomposition, and the
crushing is easily accomplished. The
god, though fine, is plainly visible
wherever the leaG is broken So far as
the company have progressed, they have
crushed about twenty tons Of ore. From
this they realized $1,000 The machi-
merry used was very inferior, and lost
near half, as is proven by the tailings,
in which gold is found abundantly.
! This lead is the same as the Old Gold
Tunnel lead, but much lower down,
from which wo are convinced that as a
general thing, the deeper q lead is
traced the richer it is We picked up
n piece OF the rock weighing 6 OF pull
verized and washed it, from which we
got three dollars

A Good Joke:

The following story of Neil McKinnon, a
New York wag, surpasses in impudence any
thing within our recollection Read and
speak for yourself, gentle reader;
When the celebrated g Copenhagen Jack
SON. was British Minister in this country,
he resided in New York, and occupied q
house in Broadway. Neil one night, at a
late hour, in company with bevy of rough
riders, while passing the house, noticed it
was brilliantly illuminated, and that several
carriages were waiting at the door.
"Hallo?'' said our wag, "whats going
on at Jackson's
One of the party remarked that Jackson
had party that evening.
"What!" exclaimed Neil, "Jackson have
a party and not invited? I must see to
that"
So stepping up to the door he gave ring
which soon brought the servant to the door.

said Neil
You must call some other time," said
the servant, "for he's engaged at game of
whist and must not be disturbed"
Don't talk to me that way" said Nc.
Kinnon, "but go directly and tell the Bri-
fish Minister that Unjust see him Immediate
ly on special business"
The servant obeyed and delivered his
message in so impressive style as to bring
Mr.. jackson to the door forthwith.
WE'LL" said Mr.. jackson, "what can be
your business with me this time of night
which is so very urgent"

The PREss.-Mr. Winthrop, in an ora

thus comments on the Press of America:
"And then, the press of America-the
periodical press, the pamphlet press, the
light literature press, and above all the
newspaper press of America-that tremen-

side, at morning and noon day, beneath al

competitions so often betray it into fatal
oomplaisanees, with the prejudices, the pas
sions, and even profigacy of its supporters.
Who, can estimate the influence of such an
enginery upon our social and moral condi-

effect upon the community of a single cor
