State Reform School.

1t being pretty well settled that the ground
donated by the City of Marysville for the
purpose, is to be the site of the State Reform
School, which the Legislature have conclu-
ded to establish, Senator Parks has introduced
bill which provides for the erection of suit
able buildings and for the management Of
the institution. Und ,r his bill. the Legisla-
ture are in joint convention, to select three
Trustees, two of them residents of Euba
county, whose business it shall be, first to
erect a building on the spot above indicated, q,
suitable for the accommodation of at least
eighty boys, advertising for sealed proposals
in accordance with the plans and speciica-
tions of the State Reform School Commis-
sioners; second, to appoint an Architect
whose business it shall be to superiutend the
work; third, to pay contractors from time to
to perform various orher duties, specified.
They are to receive $500 per annum, each,
for their compensation. The sum of 500 600
is to be appropriated for the purpose of erect
ing this building, subject to the call of the
the Trustees The Trustees shall have con.
troll of the institution and See that it is con
Quoted H. accordance with the rules and reg
ulations which they shall make, said rules
and regulations subject to the approval of
the Governor Whenever any boy or youth,
between eight and sixteen years of age, shall

ital one or one involving imprisonment for
life, the court may in its discretion sentence
him to the State Reform School, or 10 such
punishment as is now provided by law
for the same otfense. When so sentenced,
the boy or youth is to be at once taken to the
Reform School. If he prove a fit sui ject of
reformation, he shall remain or be bound out
to a good master. If he prove incorrigible,
he shall be remanded to prison to suffer the
penalty provided in the alternative. Com.
mitments of boys and youths to this institu-
ton shall be for a term not longer than their
minority. They may be bound for the same
length Of time by the Board of Trustees, as
apprentices to any proper inhabitant of the
State. The boys and youths of the institu-
tion shall be instructed in the branches of
useful knowledge by teachers employed by
the Trustees they shall also be instructed
in some trade or course of labor or art. A
Superintendent shall be appointed by the
Trustees who shall have charge of the lands,
buildings, furniture, tools, implements, stock
and provisions and in short the entire prop
erty of the institution, giving bond for the
faithful performance of his duties lie shall
regularly account to the Trustees or sucl
persons as they shall direct for the manner il
which he has performed his duties All pur
chases for the school shall be made for cash
and vouchers sworn to and kept. The Trus
tees shall visit the school at least once q
month. Once in every three months every
department shall be examined by the Trus-
trees, and they shall report the result An
nual reports must be made to the Governor
and through him to the Legislature.
Such is a brief abstract of the bill, and, SC
far as we can see, it covers all the ground
that is necessary.

DELEGATES FROM FosrER's BAR-The pub
lie are aware that the regularly elected del
egates from Fosters Bar, to the Democratic
County Convention called by the Administra
tion County Committee, are Messrs. Dever
and Burns Lest some misapprehension
may have arisen from our remarks on the
subject of their election, in yesterdays issue,
it is proper for us to state that Mr.. Diver Is
an Administration Democrat and has been
ever since the split in the Democratic party.
He has been well known leader among the
Administration forces at Fosters Bar Mr..
Burns is fully as good a Democrat, but acted
with the DOuglas wing Of the DemoeracY

A LITTLE TOO FAsr-The Dickinson organ,
the political character of the Anti Lecompton
Democracy takes advantage of circumstances
in order to say, respecting the Republican
State Convention recently assembled at Sac
ramento:
"Among the delegates in attendance were
j. c. Uinckley, of Shasta, aid w. ii. Weeks,
of Sacramento who have heretofore professed
to be anti Lecompton Democrats. Each Of
these gentlemen addressed the Convention
gave in their experience, pointed to the time
of their conversion, and the circumstances
which brought it about After doing this
and swearing fealty to the Republican party,
it appears they were admitted into full Iel-
lowship
"Mr. Hinckley stated that Stewards cele-
brated Rochester speech, in which he inaug-
urated the irrepre>sfbe conflict between the
North and the South, had done the work for
him, and he had only postponed full con-
fes,iOn until he could be of benefit to the
party-which we presume meant, until he
could serve them as delegate to Chicago,
for he was a candidate for that position and
filled to get it. Republie(an)s are migrate
/ full"
This is all very nice, but it so happens that
j. c. Hinckley, so far from being an Anti
Lecompton Democrat, was the most rabid
LecOn'ptonite and supporter Of James Buchan-
an, all through the controversy on the Kan
sas question, to be found in the whole coun-
try. His papers the Shasta Republican, de-
nounced Douglas in the bitterest terms and
eXtolled the Administration to the skies.
Never was there such wise policy as its
Kansas policy Never was there a truer
patriot than James Buchanan! Never were
there more factous, outrageous, damuable
men than the Popular Sovereignty followers
of Stephen a. Douglas 1t appears now that
this uProarious Lecomptonite has suddenly
become Republican. The transition was
easy.

enough of land monopoly in this State al
ready, without having the balance of the
public domain cut up into huge landed pro-
prietaries, whose metes and boundaries are
to exclude, as heretofore, the honest and Ia
borious settler?
We may do Mr.. Parks's bill injustice, but
we confess that it wears TO our view a very
obnoxious aspect If the objections We have
made, are not valid, let the champions of the
lill so demonstrates.

FfxE EwEs.-We notice thata number Of
fine French Aierino ewes have just arrived in
this city to The order Of Mr.. Jones, of the firm
of Rockwell Il Co. They came by the sieam-
er of last evening, and are in excellent con-
ditiou. Doubtless they will be bought up at
once. especially 10y those who own rams OF
the same blood. for it is mlnirestly much bet
ter to raise the full bloods than the half
From one ram and one eve some of the larg-
est hocks in New England of the French
Merinos have been produced, and the like
may of course be done here. Besides there
is an advantage in purchasing now, for the
reason that the earlier the business of breed
ing hocks is begun the more profitable will
it be. Furthermore, the ewes imported at
this time will have increase, but the next
importation, If any there be, cannot arrive
before the season will have past These
ewes Of Mr.. Jones's are the finest, we think,
ever brought to this State and are well
worth visit even by those who are not in a
situation to buy. They may be seen in the
rear of 0. Fuller's livery stable, at the cor
ner of Second street and Maiden Lane.

CURIOUS RELIC AT the last meeting Of
the New York Historical Society, says the
Philadelphia Press, curious relic was pre-

OF the Hessiaus in New Jersey, and how mag

and hopeful. In fact he is happier than the
majority of sane men. 1t may be that he
can be cured for, we are inclined to think,
that his peculiar notions, during bis wander

INsANnY-As will be seen by the report
in another column, Jas. Skelton, the forger,
was found guilty. The plea of insanity
was well argued by his counsel They proved
that he was guilty of nameess practice,
the tendency of which they contended was
to produce insanity. and certain doctors SO
testified But, there was rebutting medical
testimony to the effect that, while the prac-
tice was calculated to weaken and destroy
the physical frame very materially, yet it
did not necessarily dethrone reason, The
jury at any rate concluded that there was
enough reason left in this instance to make
the man responsible, and so he will have to g
go the peniIentiary. Sentence will be passed
upon him Monday. SHELTON has been well
reared and belongs to a highly respectable
family in the States.

SENATOR HUNTER ON AMERICAN LABOR.
We make the following truthful and eloquent ex-
tract from speech delivered in the Senate in 1852
by Senator Hunter, of Virginia, in reply to Mr..
Simmons:
"But Mr.. President the Senator from Rhode Is
land made an appeal to us in the name of the Ameri-
can laborer; and whenever he speaks on that sub
ject he moves my sympathies because he is eloquent
and sincere he touches my heart if he fails to con-
vince my head; but when l come to reflect coolly
upon it, find that my theory Of doing it is very
different from his. l, too, would aid the American
laborer. The paths we, would pursue to reach the
same end diverge most wieldy. would cheaper the
axe with which he hews his way into the forest;
the hoo and the p!Ow with which he wrings from
the reluctant grasp of mother earth hard-earned
subsistence for his wife and his children; the
blanket which covers him by night and the coat
which shields him by day against the storms and
the ri gors of winter. would diminish the price of
the bolt with which the sailor fastens the side of his
ship together and cheaper the cordage which holds the
spars in their places and by all justfable means
in my power | would open to him every port upon
all the seas. I would cheaper to the manufacturer
the tools which he used and the clothes which he
wore; | would cheaper to him the sugar that
sweetens the cup that cheers but not inebriates
and would relieve him from the sense of dependence
for his subsistence upon bounties to be extracted
from the hard earnings of his fellow-laborers
would extend because would cheaper the cost of
making that iron path upon which our citizens of
every degree are speeding by day and by night in
pursuit Of their objects of pleasure or Of profit In
short, sir, would open wide the door to the self
development Of American industry, and leave it free
to pursue the bent of its own genius and if it did
not then achieve whatever is grand and useful or
curious and beautiful in art the fault would not rest
upon the want Of proper opportunity, but upon its
own incapacity. For myself, l am willing to abide
the result. do not distrust the capacity of nv
countrymen to do as much as has been effected by
any other nation in founding empires or building up
industrial systems"
