ERATHER FINE.-Rev. Mr.. Rich, Superin-
tcndent of Schools for Alameda county. has
printed catechism of ten questions which he
submits to persons applying for certificates to
teach in the public schools of that county.
The following questions are included in the
list:
/. What is your standard of morality?
2. Do you ride or drive on the Sabbath
day2
8. Do you play games of cards or bill
liards?
4. Do you make use of prOfane language
5. Do you drink any intoxicating hquor
as beverage?
6. Do YOU drink anything at bar s?
7. Do do attend public balls?
8. Do you attend divine service on the
Sabbath day? %
N. B. No. of credits, 100; time, 80
minutes.
We venture to suggest, says the San Jose
Mercury. that the catechism is incomplete, IT
addressed to gentleman, without the addition
of the following: "Are you married, and if
SO, do you ever kiss your wife on Sunday 2"
Seriously, while we hold that only those of
correct habits and good principles should be
entrusted with the education of the young,
such a category of questions as the above is
not only contrary to the spirit and purpose of
our public school system. but is an insult to
any sensible teacher.

The People MovGNG.-An immense mass
meeting was held in San Francisco on the
2jth of June, to ratify the nominations of
the Union State Convention. 1t is estimated
that over five thousand people attended the
affair, and no meeting ever held in the State
exhibited greater amount of enthusiasm
The meeting was addressed by Senators Con-
ness and Stewart, General Miller, Governor
Low, Frank Pixley, DR.. Cox, J. w. Dwi-
nellie, r V. NJ. c. Briggs, and other able
speakers. Letters endorsing the State NOM
inees were read from Gov. Stanford, A. A.
Sargent, General Rosecrans and other dis
tinguished men who could not be present at
the meeting. The Governors Of Oregon and
Nevada sent CO ngratulatory dispatches. and
urged Union men to unite in opposition to
the Copperhead enemies of the country. The
Alta declares that the party actuated by
such enthusiasm and determination as was
evinced at this mass meeting, must sweep the
State by 1t large majority. and predicts a
glorious victory for the Uai on cause in Sep
enJer.

ITs OCCUPATION GoNE.-Under this caption
the Sacramento Daily Record, wide-a~ axe
Union paper, makes the following truthful
and pungent remarks:
All the heretofore Union papers of the
State now support the Union ticket, except
the Bulletin, Union and Bee. The Union
has ceased to exercise its usual habit of man
ufacturins public opinion by selections Of the
most malignant items from the interior pa
pers. because the interior papers are loyal,
aud it is now forced to depend upon extracts
from the loyal Examiner, the patriotic Bule-
tin and the honest Call, or upon some sore
headed correspondent in Jackass Gu!ch or
Groundhog's Glory. BY its silence on the
subject it confesSes that the efforts to compose
a new party from disappointed Office seekers
has been a weak and twaddling failure
Once great and powerful, because its pulses
beat in unison with the loyal heart of the
country, its present insane drivel between
supporting lpvalty and treason but excite the
ridiculc of the country press. For thou art
neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm, and be
cause thou art lukewarm | will spew thee
out of my mouth"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

There is nothing Of Importance TO notice Ia
the condition Of the money market. Abundanos
Of currency, low rates Of interest," and prevailing
ease still continue. Loans have been made in
some instances as low as three per cent. on Gov
ernment securities, while the offerings at bank
have been very slender, and commercial paper
has been readily negotiated at six to ssvon per
cent. The quarterly statement Of the condition
Of the national banks In all parts Of the country
exhibits very satisfactory state Of Affairs, and
puts At rest any fumors that may have prevailed
in relation to these important financial institu.
tions.
The whole country, as indicated BY the M.
tional banks, is In q very sound and healthy con-
dition; much more 90 than II ever was or could
bs under the old State bank system. At
this time there could hardly be . better evi.
dsncs, not only Of the generally sound condition
Of general business In New York at this time,
but Of the prudence with which thecity banks
have been managed. than the fact that there 10
not one Of these institutions the stock Of which
Is sold below par at tho Stock Exchange.
August has been looked forward TO as the
month whom . moro active demand for money
from the West wsuld cause an advance Of rates
Of interest, and gradual tightening Of the money
market. But with an increase Of business, there
is still no indication Of o stringenoy In money,
nor Is there likely To be any, for the very good
reason that more money will DO required 10 pay

Nothing has occurred to diminish the conf

on the contrary, every days reports only tsnt

Dry Goods.

The dry goods market is very favorable
for purchasers; the supply Of seasonable
goods is large, and prices still remain at
the summer depression. The carly fall
trade, which usually begins in the latter
part Of July, is not yet preceptibly felt
but when it comes along, as it certainly
must come soon, II will doubtless cause
prices TO stiffen up. The first come will
be the best served. Manufacturers keep
their agents well supplied, and this full
supply keeps prices from rising. In i'm
ported goods there is but little doing.
1mportations have begun to increase, but
they are still long way behind the i'm.
portations Of 1866 and yet there is q
larger market for goods this year than
there was the last. We have added three
hundred thousand consumers to our popu.
lation by immigration alone, while the
South and the Southwest are in q greatly
improved condition, SO for as their ability
to pay for dry goods goes.
Very little change in the scale Of prices
since last week is to be reported. Some
styles Of heavy domestics have declined O
trife, but the summer market is essential
ly the same. The promise Of an active de.
mand for brown shirtings and sheetings
early in the month has not been fully Just
fled by events. Jobbers are beginning
now to lay in their supplies Of bleached
goods, and the demand for the better quail
tiles has somewhat increased without sen
sibly affecting prices. An improved de
mand has been shown for stripes and ticks
but denims and cottonades are not in re
quest. An attempt to force sales woul,
necessitate reduction of prices.
Fall styles Of dark prints have been of
fered by agents, and the stock is quite
large, although the demand has not We
been sufficient to bring out full lines o
the choicest patterns. Prices are wei
sustained.
For rolled jnconets and cambrics tn
demand has been something better. Ii
delaines there is not much doing the sea
son is too early for fall styles, but they ar
already in the hands Of agents, and will
be produced in full lines next month
Fancy cassimeres and satinets are in bet
ter demand, and prices are firm withou
any advance. Flannels and blankets ar,
more inquired for as the season advances
The market for foreign goods is quiet
but there is no indication Of decline il
prices, especially in seasonable goods
which are firmly held by importers. Ther
have been no new failures reported durin
the week, and the effect which was pre-
duced lately by the failure of two larg
importing houses of British and Germa
goods has about worn of.
