ADVANTAGES OF A CASAL.-The
Mountain Democrat Of yesterday says
the South Fork Canal furnishes water
for more than four thousand miners,
who, were it not for this great work,
would have to oremain idle until the rains
come.
The people of this county, from this,
can form some idea of the Importance to
this county, Of the proposed works Of
the Wyando:t and Feather River Water
Company This canal, it is believed
would accommodate twice four thousand
miners, in equally as rich placers as that
watered by the canal in Eldorado coun-
ty Even four thousand miners at work
in our foothills during the past summer
and dry winter, would have done much
to build up Butte county. Instead of
languishing, as we have, under the ef-
fects Of drouth, we should see every de-
partment of business in a aourishing
condition The natural advantages and
mineral wealth of this county, are not
excellrd By any in the State, although
many may have taken precedence in IN
developm Mt Of their rcsoarcos We
Iarc gratiti4d to learn thatt prospects
Of a speedy CONNIE neement of the Wy.
andott & Feather River canal, are I'M
proving, and we hope. those Interested in
the business of the county, will lend
TIER assistance to the Accomplishment
Of the undertaking.

COMMON SCHOOLS.


We are indebted to Hon. Thos Wells
for copy of a bill introduced by Mr.,
Me0utchen,s authorizing common school
Commissioners to raise money ferrthY
erection of buildings suitable for school
purposes and other contingent school
purposes 1isd 81
The bill will be found IN another col.
" umn. Section first provides that the
Common School Commissioners of each
city, town, village or district in the State
shall have power to assess and collect It
tax for the erection of school houses.
The present State School fund can only
be used for the purpose ofpayiDg teach
ers, and we regard this bilt which pre-.
vides for the erection Of school houses,
in the most favorable light It is iright
and proper that the taxable property of
the State should be made to contribute
to the Advancement of the common
School system. Let this bill become a
law, and with the school fund now at the
command of the State, and California
will present system Of common schools
excelled by but few States in the Union.
We believe that common school educa-
tion should be absolutely free, and sho'd
this bill become law, the system in this
Z State would approximate nearly to
free system. We believe that the youth
of California, or of auy other State,
should enjoy the benefits of common
school education at the public expense.
The education of the poorest children
is a matter which concerns the State
even moie than it does their parents.
The tax necessary for the erection Of a
school house, would be but trihe, and
would meet with the hearty approval of
all, forit would afford parents an OPP
por.unity to educate their children, and
by presenting the advantages Of schools
