Sound on Crane.

Mayor English of Sacramento has made
himself foolishly ridiculous by vetoing an
ordinance passed by majority of the
Common Council of that city, for the es-
tablishment Of free common schools, for
the education Of colored children. While
the Mayor admits the necessity of educa-
ting the rising generation, in order to fit
them to successfully take care of them
selves, and not become a burthen and a
curse to the community, hcallows an i'm
aginary prejudice ofmen from the south to
override and outweigh the necessity he ad-
mits to exist. Ignorance is said to be
the parent of crime Mayor English is
willing to allow crime to increase, because
he imagines portion of the people are
not sufficiently infused with the idea that
can ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure"
The fact is, there is no prejudice among
southern men so far as we know against
the education of colored children in schools
by themselves. On the contrary the gen.
eral expression is, so long as the colored
races are made to contribute to our school
fund, they should receive some of the ben
efits of the same. But the real reason
why the Mayor used the highest preroga-
tive of his Office was an extreme desire to
show that he was not only sound, but par
tlcularly so, on Grape. The fear that
some brainless individual would hiss "abo-
litionist" between his teeth at him, has de-
tered many northern doughface from
doing his duty. Such conduct is held in
contempt by the very men whose favor
it is intended to gain. If Mayor English
was opposed to the passage of the ordi-
nance, dozen more plausible pretexts
might have been urged for the use of the
veto power, than the one he alleges as
the grounds of his opposition.

New INvENTIoN.-Dozens of our citi-
zens have lately examined a new machine
designed to save the minutest particles of
gold, which is in operation on Deer Greek
Immediately below the Gold Tunnel
Quartz Mill. The machine is very simple
in its construction, and is called by its in
ventor Ford's Rifflc-Bex. The best prac-
teal miners that the vicinity affords, give
favorable opinions regarding the probable
utility of the invention.
We have it from excellent authority
that the machine was applied by way of
experiment to the tailings OF the quartz
mill of Mr. Stackhouse in Grass Valley.
after they had undergone the complicated
process of amalgamation in use at that
mill, and every particle of gold was sup
posed to be extracted which could be by
any known process. In four days S34
we're collected by the new machine So
well was Mr.. Stackhousc satisfied with the
result, that he made arrangements to
substitute the invention in the place of
his amalgamator, purchasing the right to
do so of Mr. Ford.
Men of character and undoubted veraci-
ty inform us that the owners of the Rifle
Box are without spice of the humbug in
their composition, and that all the state
ments they may make regarding the quail
itiet and capabilities of their patent are
entitled to the fullest credence. But they
ask and expect no one to believe until he
has examined for himself Miners are
invited to witness tha operation of the
machine, and judge of it by what they
see.

TURNPIKE TO WAsHINGToN-By an adver-
tisement in another column. it will be seen
that an effort is about to be made by our citi-
zens to build turnpike road from Nevada
to Washington. On survey it is found that an
easy grade is obtainable. The only question
to be considered before investing in such an
enterprise, is, will it pay? A turnpike or
plank road to Grass Valley would doubtless be
a profitable enterprise. To Washington others
know best.

NUMERICAL RELATION OF THE SExEs-The
annual Of Scientific Discovery contains the
following interesting facts concerning the nu
merical relation of the sexes. If the number
of males and females born were exactly equal
the result would be, that before they reached
middle age, the female sex would be reduced
too low. In fact, the number of females born
is always greater than the males, by about
four per cent. At twenty years of age this
preponderance is entirely lost, and there are
more females than males. AT forty years. the
balance is again the other way, and there are
more males than females At seventy, the
sexes are about even, and the ultimate age of
the human being is reached without any de-
cided advantage to either sex. Both the GEN.
suses of lS40 and 1850 prove the law. Beyond
the age of forty years. the probabilities of
longevity are much greater for American
women, than American men. This fact, as
has been shown, however, tells tremendously
on women between the age of ten and forty,
when their mortality is very great. The
longevity of some women is very extraordinary.
There are now 80 American women over one
hundred years of age.
