THE "ALDRIcH" BEE HIvE.-Mr. D. NJ.
Altirich, of Mokelumne Hill, who is engag
ed in the Bee business, has invented new
sort of hive, which, in our opinion, com
bines more excellent qualities than any
hive yet patented, OF when we nave any
knowledge. Each hive is so constructed
that the interior is flled win frames about
eight inches long and SIX incheS deep, so
arranged that each frame WI cou'ain one
comb of the ordinary thickness, which
when full, and the insects are AT work on
others, may be taken out without disturb
ing the workers or in any way breaking
the adjacent combs. By NJ o.her nice ar
rangement, each part of the hive so con-
structed that the bees haveactes 10 all th, /,
'e ,artments through the small passages
between the combs when the frames are
filled with honey; and thus, if moth or any
other insect, fatal to the swarm in ordina-
ry hives, gets into any chamber, it may be
at once detected and destroyed by the in
telligent little workers. In ordinary hives,
when the surplus money is to be taken out,
the whole colony is disturbed, the comb
must be broken, and, even with the most
careful management, some waste follows.
But in Mr.. Aldrichs hive all these evils are
avoided. The comb, being separate by
means of the frame above noticed, any por-
ton of the aggregate of honey in the hive
may be removed at any time when ii is
wanted, without disturbing the bees or
breaking up the comb. We learn that he
has taken steps to have his invention pat
ented. and if we are not much mistaken it
will become the most popular hive in the
country.-Sdn Andreas Independent.

In this table the greatest number of
Senators and Assemblymen allowed by the
Constitution is reached-forty Senators
and eighty Assemblymen. The apportion-
ment is based on the number of white in
habitants reported by the last census.
1t will be seen that Nevada loses two
Assemblymen Eldorado loses five Assem-
blymen and two Senators; Placer loses one
Senator and one Assemblyman &c.
The Sa.. Bee, from which the above
table has been taken, says the representa-
tives from the losing counties became great
ly excited on seeing their counties cut
down at so fearful rate. However much
our representatives may become excited on
the subject we can assure the Bee that the
people at large are perfectly satisfied with
any arrangement which is just to all the
counties of the State. Nevada would not
have grumbled had her delegation been
cut down to one Senator and two Assem-
blymen provided that number was her por-
tion. Everybody here feels confident that
the census of our county was not nearly
taken, but that it is no fault of the Legis-
ture, who in making an apportionment
must go by the figures given in the census
report.

NATION TO THE ISsANE.-Dr. Tildcn, re-
Gently elected physician to the Insane Asy
lum at Stockton, has chosen Mrs. E. j.
Farnham as Matron. That DR.. Tilden has
selected so competent person as Mrs.
Farnham for the post is evidence that his
administration of affairs at the Institution
will be successful and popular. Mrs. Farm
ham is lady of high intellectual endow-
ments. She has given the subject of treat
ment of criminals, who may be said to be
morally insane, the closest attention. Her
experience as matron at Sing Sing, where
che acquired not short-lived reputation,
will be worth much TO her and the patients
under her charge at Stockton We deem
thi. appointment as one eminently fit 10 be
made.

We hear great deal in the Herald, and 9TH
organs of disunion, of the wealth of the
Southern States and their immense investment
in public securities. recently estimated in the
Herald at $3.50, ,000,0iG. They are ha d Y on :
tenth this amount. W tn the ex :eption of South
Carolina and Georgia, nearly all the railroads
of the South have been built with Northern or
European capital. To construct the railroads
of Virginia, that State has issued Bonds to the
amount of more than $35.000,n ,n0n, the great r
part of which are held in the Northern States
and abroad Without such aid, her people
could have hardly constructed their first road.
The Missouri railroads have been constructed
by the creation of debt of nearly 30,n00, 900
Those of Tennessee by a S-ate debt of some
Sl6,O00,0O0. The Railroads Of North Carolina
have. with two exceptions, been built with the
proceeds of State Bonds The Florida railroads
have been constructed chiefly with the proceeds
of her Internal improvement Bonds. The State
of louisiana has also made large issu.s S TO h'r
railroads. The means for building the Mobile
and Ohio railroad, the great work of Alabama
were very largely drawn from England. In
fact, nearly the whole Southern system has
been built with the proceeds of bonds sold at
the North and in Europe, not dollar of which
could have been sold with the present secession
movement threatuing. Virginia has only par
tally executed her system, and must sell SlO.-
100000 more bonds te complete it. North
Carolina is in a similar prcdicament; so is
South Carolina so is Louisiana; so is Tenn
essee and so are the other Sou b rn States. If
the works assisted by these S5;it,s must stop,
w much more those based entirely upon pri-
vate means or the credit IF companies. For
every hundred dolllrs that Virginia raises to-
day she pays thirty in addition to interest. Ii
secession he such an K client remedy, the ma
terial salvation of the Southern States and the
S ping stone to n of commerclal
gr ness and weat tt, why is it that ths great
thermometer Of public opinion, the price of
their securities is so much depressed? Why
should not those of New York and Msssachu-
sets share the same fate? If the South is as
rich as is claimed, ard has confidence in her
self, why does she suffer her credit to be de-
stroyed by the mere apprehcnsions for the fu-
ture? But she has no means sufficient to carry
forward her enterprises, and, henceforward, If
she continues the secession movement, no cred
il. AS for strength, how idle it is for a people
u boast of this attribute, who cannot, tn
their own means, lace their products, upon
which they dep md tor their very existence, one
foot beyond their own soil, but every year must
intrust their whole wealth to those whom they
affect to treat their bitere.t foes, to be taken
to foreign countries and returned again in forms
fitted for use. The North has as yet done moth
ing to fo-feit this confidence. Can the South
say as much IN y. Times.

SHAMEFUL AccUsATIoN-ZackM Montgom-
ery, Catholic, and the chief fugle.nan in
the attempt to destroy the school system OF
the State, made a charge III speech in the
Assembly, that the common sc'ools Of San
Francisco were schools of infamy. 1t ap-
pears that girl of bad character once OBJ
tanned admission to the public schools and
soon after gave birth to an illegtimate
child. The girl was bad when she became
q member of the school, but she lived with
a respectable family and her real character
was not known.
This case should certainly furnish no
grounds fer the sweeping accusation Of Mr.
Montgomery He is n Catholic. How would
he like to have the Catholic priesthood
judged by the notorious padre in Italy who
corrupted all the young girls who came to
the confessionalf

THR scH0oL QUESTION.


The prominent topic of the day next to
secession is the ,chool question. bill is
pending before TIE Legislature and urged
by Catholic influence TO become n law
having for its object the division of the
school fund 30 that the Catholics may take
their pro rata and establish schools where
in their own religious tenets may be betaught.
We gave Warming some months since
that very deStronsly drawn petition was
the Legislature in favor of such measure
as that now tetcre the "assembled wisdom
at Sacramento. A great many names were
obtained from those who took little pains
10 learn the pnrport of the paper they
were signing. The petition was gotten up
in the most adroit style, and the bill is like
wise drawn IN mastery manner. Ian
guage has been used in both cases TO con-
ceal ideas. The gist of the whole thing
when attention is called to it, is plain
encngh. The Catholics believe, and other
religious denominations furnish them argu-
ments in support of their position, that re-
ligion should be taught in cchools, and rs
the State system of education ignores Sec
tartan instructions in her schools the Cath
olics are ,aboring to reverse the system -
Tho Catholics have heen, and are adverse
to allowing their children TO be educated in
Protestant schools. The prejudice is as
strong al the affection of the members Of
the church for the church itself 1t is
part of Catholic church polity that Catho-
lie children are not to be educated in schools
where heretics, as Protestants are called,
are teachers. No other sect is thus partic-
ular. The Catholics alone, deriving their
notions from remote ages, demand to-day
what they would have done fge hundred
years ago.
This school question, it is plain, must be
settled, and the sooner the better Once
for ali the Catholics had better understand
that the American system Of education is
uOt " Ue ONtTluTOWu. 10 accom- mulOudtc
their rrejudced notions. If they can ask
separate share Of the school fund, anv 9TH
er denomination of Christians have the same
right. 1t is plain that no such right can
be recognized, as it would be destructive
to the whole common schoo, system. The
school fund would be liable to be divided
into dozen portions in each township and
the share to each denomination would be
so insignificant as to amount TO nothing in
the wages of a teacher.
In the more advanced portions of the
country, union schools have been insti-
tuted in order to obtain a larger amount of
public money for one school, and it
has been found that more learning can be
dispensed by the union of schools into one
than by the small and many schools scat
tered along the roads. Tie Catholics
would reverse this rule, and instead of
large schools with funds to command the
means of instruction, they would have the
dryest little assemblages of scholars, that
might be model show of school of the
dark ages.

A PRACTICAL JoKE.-On Sunday night,
couple of gentlemen, who have both a
loving fancy for the same fair one, met at
the house of their mu III inamorata and
did then and there attempt 10 prosecute
their suit, but the lady could not well have
two strings to her bow and accordingly
went out of the room with one of them, aud
the other, to be revenged, took his adver-
saryS hat and made off, leaving his more
favored rival to go home bare-headed.-
When the gentleman whose hat had been
abstracted discovered his loss, he was
wroth and went and entered complaint
against the abstractor of his tilei so the
case came before the recorder yesterday,
but compromise was effected BY the party
who took the hat being released on condi-
tion that he restore the property forthwith.

BrRxE, of the Mountain Messenger de-
tends the character of mountain society
with spirit, against the slanderous attacks
made on it By some folks. Byrne says some
of the private residences in the mountains,
particularly in Nevada county, would do
credit to any city; that no better lawyers
can be found anywhere; that the people
live comfortably that even-handed justice
Is dispensed, and that mental culture is
found no less in the mountains than else
where.
