STATE Board OF EDucATIoN. The
manifest deficiencies of our educational
system, and the consequent deterioration
of our schools and the increased inatten-
tion to them on the part of the people,
have reused many of our leading men to
attempt some improvement of this most
important branch of the public interest.
Differences of opinion have heretofore
prevented cordial and united action on
this subject, and through division, the
friends of educational improvement have
been defeated Now,we are glad to find,
there seems to be good degree of unau-
unity in favor Of urging upon the Lesis-
latufe, at its approaching session, the
creation of State Board of Education
in place of the present Superintendent
system made obsolete by the inaction Of
the Legislature.
We have preferred, hitherto, to make
thorough trial Of tho old system allow.
ing improvements to come after, as ex.
perienco might suggest. For three years
past, however, we have had only Gtrial'
of tho loyalty Of the Legislature, and
that, too, of 80 uDpromising character
as plainly to require resort to some
other measure. We shall accordingly
cooperate heartily, so FAR as it may be
in our power, in favor of the plan at
present proposed, and hope it will be ia.
vorably acted On by the Legislature. An
able aud influential committee have this
subject in charge and petitions are in cir.
culation, for this object, which we trust
will be numerously signed.

INDIAN VALLEY. January. 26.

INDIAN ALLEY, January, 26.
Mr.. Editor.-At the request made to me
by the inhabitants of this valley, write in
relation to the article which appeared in your
paper of the 31st December, SO, that of
Hanging white man for killing an Indian"
The facts are these-the truth to the letter
will adhere to, and for the satisfaction of the
residents of this valley, and the community at
large, you will be pleased to insert the follow
ing in your paper
The writer was in the house of J. 7. Taylor
& Co.. with the deceased George Rose, on the
evening of the 18th December on business,
talking at the counter with Mr.. Taylor, no
other person being present After some pur-
chases were made by the subscriber and de-
ceased, the latter walked to the place,
and lighted his cigar, having previously re-
marked to Mr.. Taylor that the Indians of this
valley were ''no 6uea0." The Indian who
was killed, was sitting peacably at the fire.
place with his father, when Rose without any
provocaton whatever. on the instant pulled
pistol out of his pocket, and shot the Indian
killing him on the spot-''he lived but three
minutes" The other Indian was immediately
going to escape, thinking he would share the
same fate, which he undoubtedly would, had
he not been put out of harms way The de-
ceased was allowed to go home and on the fol-
lowing morning was arrested and brought
back to the Ranch of Messrs. Taylor & Co.,
when Court was summoned, and general
meeting of the citizens called. President was
appointed, jury of twelve men empaneled, to
try the prisoner. After long and impartial
trial, from the evidence given, the jury re-
turned a verdict of murder in the first degree,
appointing the 18th December, at . o'clock
Z. NJ for his excucution, which solemn cere-
mony took place. The unfortunate man on
the scafold confessed his crime, said he had
been bad man from the time he was ten
years of age, and the bad end which he had
come to came from drunkenness. He had
counsel furnished him, as also tie State. The

@- The Editor of the Express labors un-
der mistake, not intentional of course, when
he asserts that we have attempted to traduce
the Hon. Richard Irwin, in regard to his course
upon the removal question We said s.Mr.
Irwin was absent" and hoped ;she would be
able to account for it in manner satisfactory
to his constituents" The vote upon this
question, we found in the Express, and Mr..
lrwins name acas not in the list. But since
the Express says that ,cas not so, we stand
corrected. We are disposed to be accommo-
dating if we can.
With regard to Mr.. Irwin opposing the cleo
ton of Senator this winter, we do oppose
the course he has pursued-so do his constitu-
ents--under the belief that he has been undu-
ly influenced by this monstrous scheme of
fraud and corruption. The Express, in COM
ing to his rescue, has but obeyed the nod of
their mutual Lord and Master, and if the
scheme succeeds will doubtless receive its re-
ward.
fit was not the Editor of the Express who
wrote the article saying they had no objec-
tions to "the removal to Sacramento, if it
could be permanently located" or something
to that effect, have the kindness to inform us
of the fact, and also how we are to discrimin-
ate between the articles of its Editors, and
those of its scapegoats, and we will be careful
to apply our remarks more carefully for the
futnre. We shall then probably have no occas-
ion to mention the immaculate, dignifed, pure
and angelic. consistent and incorruptible,
straight forward and honest, unbought and
unsaleable geniuses, the ostensibles of the Err
press.
