California election are very slowly reported,
considering that the Telegraph is in working or
der between San Francisco and Portland The
election was held on the 9th inst and the dis
patches OF the evening of same date, state that
San Francisco elects TO the State Legislature an
equal number of Democrats and Repubhcahs.--
THIS Is large Democratic gain Last year the
Republicans carried San Francisco, we believe
by some 8 600 majority. No returns from other

SCHOOLS?
Mr.. W r. Yocum, states that the Public school
of this city viii likely be re-opend by November
or December next 7 hadn't the "cheek' to in
quire of NJ -la actual condition of affairs
as they relates % said school though, he would
no doubt, have ral Oily accee3ed to ny request
on this score, jud gug however, from a state.
ment published in your paper ONE TWO months
ago it is fair to conclude that the "stuatiou"
of things is somewhat "muddled." There are
some 200 children living in the Walla Walla
District, and it is high time that the public
school was established upon permanent and
satisfactory basis. The system of public school
education is the proud boast of Onr land, and
even on the Pacific slope is fast attaining an
elevated and creditable position The custom
which has been in vogue for the past five
years of employing, as teachers, Tom and Dick,
to preside over the shool seems utterly futile and
expensive in the long run IN the very elegant
(?) parlance of the country, tbs time it was
"played out" Observation has convinced us
that there is entirely too much of the routine
and tread-mill style of managing some of the
public schools. The Poet Cowper appreciated
this fact; in his ''Tlrocinium, or Review of
Schools, - he believes that
"For public schools It's public folly feeds,
The slaves of custom and establish'd d mode,
With pack-horse constancy we keep the road,
Crooked or straight, through quags or thorny
dells,
True to the jngling of our leaders, bells"
1t is gratifying, however, to know that while
our public school slumbers, at the present
writing four privaie institutions of learning are
in successful operation. VIII you permit partic-
uarization2 There are, then, the Academy of
St. Vincent for girls, under the presidency of
the Sisters The college of St. Joseph for boys,
under the guidance Of the Reverend Father c.
Delahunty. The school of Rev. Mr. Chamber
lain and lady-and last, though not least, one
opened in the NJ. E. ch1ych, on the 2sth of Au-
