The SCHOOL FUND-We believe all the
papers in the State that have said anything
on the subject, are opposed to the bill in-
troducad into the Assembly by Mr.. Mont
gomery for the establishment Of sectarian
schools. The Grass Valley National Of Sat-
urday, after giving the leading features Of
the bill, says:
1t will be perceived, at once that the incorpo-
ration of such provisions in our common school
laws would open the widest possible door for the
general establishment Of Sectarian schools, and
the consequent total Generalization Of our en-
tire system of cducatOn-would take the i'm
portant cause of education from the impartial
hand Of the State and lodge its entire control in
the persons of denominational leaders. Re
ligious instruction should be confined exclusively
TO the family and church-it is a matter which
should be kept entirely aloof from any State in
huence either directly or indirectly. The As
sembly viii do wisely in refusing further to con-
slider such dangerous innovation upon the
long established practice of common school ed
ucation in America.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-16

An INNOCENT MAN HUNG.-A colored man
named George 0rem died in Baltimore, a
few weeks ago, and confessed to number
of persons, while on bis death bed. that he
had murd red a colored man named VIM.
King. in August, 1858, and that John H.
Cyphus, another colored man, was tried
and convicted of the murder. After his
conviction, application was made TO the
Governor for a pardon, or Communication
OF the sentence, but the application failed,
and he was hung in April, 1859. While on
the scaffold, Cyphus protested his innocence
OF the blood Of King in the following Ian
guage:
"Gentlemen-You see here another innocent
man who is going to be hung. They have given
me false name-One that was never known
by, and convicted me for what didnot do. But
am going home to heaven to meet my God.
My way is all clear there. so just goodbye my
friends"
Orem, il seems suffered greatly from having
committed the deed, and after the execution
ofCyphus became very much depressed in
mind. Disease at length overlook him,
for several months he was confined to his
bed, and being informed that bis end was
approaching he confessed that be had COM
mitted the murder for which au innocent
man had been executed.

plentiful supply OF pure blood is as

proper circulation of the vital fluid is impeded sick
ness is the inevitable consequence the secretons be-
come unhealthy, the liver becomes cogged with i'm
