A MURDERER's RUsE TO ESCAPE HANGING.
The Albany EUeniag Journal says Ruloff. the
condemned murderer, has been interviewed, a,
bis own request, by twelve men learned in
philology, to whom he unfoIded his "great and
wonderful theory of language" He failed to
impress them, however, that his unSoldincs
amounted to anything more than a specious
attempt to get their signatures to petition
asking the Governor to grant him a reprieve.
The important discovery in the interest OF
science" as near at the delegation could dis
cover, is utterly devoid of substance or coher
ence, and it is evident that the '1earnel pun
dit has been "playing it" upon the public
with the hope of escaping the punishment due

Opinion on Section IS, 80 and
100, California School Law.

By the provision of the California School
Law, approved April 4th, 1870, it is made
the duty of the County Superintendent in
each county, on or before the lst Of March
of each year, to furnish the Board of Sup
ervisors and the Tax Collector respectively,
with an estimate of all the costs and expen
ses attendant upon maintaining a free
school for eight months in every school
district in the county, the estimate for
each district to be stated separately.
The Superintendent should, likewise, in
connection Herewith, furnish an estimate
of the school moneys to be apportioned to
each distrtrict-s striking balance so that
the Board may know how much money it
will be necessary to levy in each districtin
order that the school may be maintained
the term of eight months.
Why the Tax Collector is to be furnished
with the statement, Icannot conceive, and
it is unnecessary TO inquire. The law re
quires it, and the officers must obey with
out questioning the reason.
The County Superintendents, in making
their estimates and reports under the law,
are not'presumed to know anything of the
assessed value of the property in any dis
trict, but they are to treat all alike, baseing
their estimates of the expenses of the
school upon their knowledge of the number
of the scholars, and the grade of the school,
in the district
Upon that estimate the Board of Super
visors are bound to levy tax upon each
district separately, to be collected as other
taxes by the Tax Collector, sufficient, taken
in connection with the money apportioned
to the district to maintain the school eight
months, unless the district shall have been
exempted from maintaining the school for
that term, upon the proper showing from
parties interested.
Every district in each county, without
exception, is required to maintain and sup
port free school for eight months in each
year, and cannot exempt itself, nor be ex-
empted in any manner, or by any proceed
ing from the obligation and duty to main
tain such school eight months in each year,
except such district has not more than
$4,000 of taxable property, and not more
than 20 children, between the ages of. 5
and Is years, both of which must concur !;
and then only by proper showing of facts
by petition from Trustees and patrons,
the parties interest, to the Board Of Super
visors, before the first Monday in Septem-
Der of each year, and procuring an order
by said Board, exempting such district
from the requirement of maintaining a free
school eight months.
But if there be more than $4,000 of
taxable property in the district, it matters
not how few the number Of children, or if
there are 26 children, no matter how little
the value of the taxable property in the
district, the Board of Supervisors have no
authority to grant any such exemption, nor
any such authority upon their own motion
in any case unless on proper showing.
What proper showing is, must of ne
cessity be petition by the residents of
the district, and determined by the Board
of Supervisors.
Their authority is delegated and limited.
Respectfully submitted,
G. X. GODFREY, Sup't.
