NONSENSE.

We are with the San Francisco Post like
it is with Judge Louderback; we believe il
to be honest, and we believe it intends to be-
"A just paper, yet every now and then it i'm
poses some thing on the people, which seems
so contrary with our best teachings, that
we are compelled to take exceptions. a
short time ago in speaking of female teach
ers marrying it said: "The marriage of IA
female is likely, to a certain, and, perhaps
to serious extent, to disqualify her from,
teaching. A woman who is raising n
family has enough to attend to at home, and
there is no use of woman marrying a man
who is not able to support her. Now, we
had intended to 20 after the Post for say
ing this, but we find what We would say so
well said in the San Jose argus, that we
give its words as follows:
"This idea of the Post is one of the great
obstacles in the way of marriage, and is the
cause of much misery to woman and de
moralizalon Of society The ability and
willingness of he wife to help the h ashland
earn competency should be encouraged
not repressed, and to make marriage an ob-
jec'ion to the employment of lady teacher
is not only bad policy, but also unjust and
ungenerous. There are five married ladies
now employed as teachers in the public
schools OF this city, and they are among the
very best teachers in the department. Thor
oughly qualified and devoted to their D O
fession. there is never a word of complaint
of the manner in which they discharge their
duties, and they are at the same time model

TAXING r ,ILRoAD LANDs.-The San Fran
cisco Bulletin says:
'There is a proposition before Congress
to allow counties in which lands grated to
railroads are situated to tax the same. There
is no reason why these lands should not pay
taxes AS well as other property. Under the
system which now prevails the roads are en-
abled to hold them for speculative purposes.
1t, on the contrary, they should be compelled
10 pay taxes like other landed propretors,
they would have to put them on the market
AS soon as they possibly could. But this
does not by any meals cover the whole OF
the difficulty. Railroads are not only un
der the exemption mentioned, enabled to
hold the lands for speculation, but in some
of the Western States they are actually in !,
position to save the persons to whom the,
sell from taxation. There is given at the
lime of purchase, nothing but u bond for n
title at some future date. The purchaser,
under this little arrangement, escapes taxa
non for IN indefinite period. The title re-
mains still in the railroad, and there is.
therefore, nothing to tax. 1t is true tha;
this little game should be broken up. The
State and county treasures now here are in
such plethoric condition ii at exemptions
OF so extensive nature should be any
longer tolerated. The railroads have had
already enough of advantages in their deal
ings with the people.

RELATIVE To SAVINGS BANKs-We have
received from Senator Neff his bill to abolish
attorneys fees and other charges in savings
banks. At present it is common clause
in Bylaws of Savings Banks that ali
expenses for examining titles or perfecting
insurance of property, on which tie Bank
loans money, shall be paid by the applicant
Mr. Neff's bill proposes that loans shall be
made by such corporate ms without any ex-
pense to the borrower, except the m,eres t
IN the money loaned. Now, if the bill was
going to help those poor men who borrow
money from the Banks TO avoid immediate
financial destruction after mortgaging every
thing they have in the world as security
we would emphaticaly favor it; but we fail
to see that it would have such result
The Banks, for the good of the country
must live, and the more tax or expense you
impose upon them, the more interest they
must charge on loans, making the question
just as broad as long, for it must come from
the borrower in the end, fix it how you may.
We fail to see the application OF the bill for
good.

PooR PLACER. R.-There has been bill on
Representative apporlionment passed by the
House, which if we must have reappor-
tionment without taking the census, was as
nearly just and satisfactory as bill can le
But this bill no sooner reached the Senate
than they began to back it up with amend
ments, and we now fear-not for ourselves
but for those who were SO anxious for re-
pportionment-tha the poor thing will Le
so mutiated by the time it gets back to the
Assembly, that that body will refuse to own
it, and what was once the making of good
law will die in its parents hands of abuse
and neglect 1t was amended in the Senate
allowing Placer only one Senator and one
Assemblyman, and then they cry poor Pla-
Ger. Thus amended it would be poor Pla-
Ger, sure enough, but the effect of lust
such extravagant, unwarranted, unreason-
able amendme ITS will be the means of send

THkEE SUPERVISORS.

We are informed that a bill is likely to
pass the Legislature reducing the number of
Supervisors of Placer County from five to
three. We have not seen a copy of the
bill, but understand that it provides for the
present Board holding office, unchanged, un-
til the next genral election, to come off in
1875, and then elect an entire new Board OF
three members, one from each Revenue
District. And it further provides that the
new Board sh II take their seats on the first
Monday in February after their election, in
stead of the first Monday of December, as
at present The change in all respects
would be wise one. In the first place, if
we are going to make the change, it had
better be done at once and effectually. And
a change from five to three is advisable as
matter of economy in two ways, for we
would not only have fewer to pay, but
would not have to pay those few for as
much time. The fewer the members the
greater is business facilitated. And we do
not know of single instance wherein three
members cannot be as effici ent as five. We
say let the bill become law.

Too HARD BLow.--lhe State Militia,
consisting in the main of tinsel tiI ped bum
mers and shoulder-strapped and epauletted
gentlemen, whicl, have cost the State at the
rate of not less than $75 900 per year,
was, by one master stroke of the Reiormers.
last Tuesday, knocked ont Of existence, and
by that stroke this neat sum of money VII
be saved each year to the taxpayers.
What this expensive militia have ever done,
either in time of war or time of peace, the
people are unable to appreciate, and that the
abolishment of the system will meet with
popular favor there is no doubt. But we
think the blow was too hard. We would
favor the exis tence Of an Adjutant General,
TO be paid by the State, and would give
encouragement to the organization and
'lrilling OF self-supporting companies, by Of
fering premiums, all to be under the control
Of the Adjutant General but to receive no
compensation from the State, unless called
into actual service by the General.

CODE COMMISSIONER RELIEF BILL.

We dou't approve Of any extravagant al

lieve the Commissioners Relief Bill to be;
nor do we approve Of the plan some men
adopt Of exalting themselves by denouncing
others. Therefore, we publish the follow wing
extract from communication published ov-
er the signature Of Hon. John w. Dwnelle
in reply to Hon. Charles Lindley's letter, de-
nouncing severely bis associate Commission
ers, which has been extensively published.
and in which he attempts to exalt himself:
"Being one Of the examiners Of the code,
have thought it proper to prepare the fol-
lowing statement, as a matter Of public jG--
tic the Code Commissioners not deeming
it either necessary or proper to do it in their
own behalf.
There ia no claim, account, bill or act be-
fore the Legislature in favor of Charles
Liudley, connected with tn, codes in any
manner. There is claim in favor Of Cur
ris II. Lindey, son Of Charles Lindey, for
the sum of 81 800, for clerical labor per-
formed upon the the Codes, in the employ
ment ,f The Code Commissioners. Gun tis
H. Lindley received that appointment on the
nomination and with the concurrent vote of
his father, who was then one Of the Code
Commissioners, and has since been retained
10y the present Commissioners, notwithstand
ing the resignation Of bis iather, more than
two years ago. Charles Indy knew and
knows all these facts, and knew and knows
that while he himself has no claim in the
premises, yet his son ha, a just and valid

IT has been said that the people through

House bill on Fares and Freigbts. This is
not so. The Colusa Independent says let

bill will prove success And it bases that
belief on the principle advanced by us last
week, that the less the rates the greater the

MIGRATORY STOCK ..

This bill excited warm contest. Mr. Boggs
leading off in favor of having stock taxed where
it was owned, and was assisted by Mr.. Hopkins,
Of Calaveras. McKusick was the strongest adj
vocate of the bill. There was much sharp shoot
ing, but the final result was what is equitable.
Stock is to be taxed oneh half where it is owned
and the other half where it is pastured. Irwin
md Farley took part with McKusick, and your
Senators voted along with them. The owner,
when the Assessor comes to assess his band OF
stock, has TO give, under oath, the county to
which he expects to drive his cattle or sheep,
and the latter county gets credit for and the
former county is charged with one-half the
assessed taxes.

STATE NORMAL SCHo L. From early in
the Legislative session we have advocated
the idea of establishing the State Normal
School at Berkley, in connection with the
University. We have shown wherein such
an association would result in numerous and
lasting advantages to both of the instit'-
tions and the pupils of each, and how such
an association would be a lasting act OF
economy to the State; and we have shown
how successfully the plan of assocating
State Institutions of learning has been car
ried out in the Eastern States. As plausi-
BILE and commendable, though, as the idea
is, no action has been taken by the Legisla-
ture in that direction; nor has any Journal
come to our aid in advocating the move, ex-
cept the San Francisco Post. When eight or
ten thousand dollars year can be saved
and better results obtained where is the ex-
cuse for not saving it? That is the ques-
ton.

Niger IN THE FENCE.-1he bill for
driving the present Harbor Commissioners
from Office and providing for the election of
new ones at an early date by the Legisla-
ture, contains niger in it somewhere We
have weighed the matter, and looked into it
as far as we can with the means at hand
and al that we can see in the back ground is
the dim shadow of three men, on whose
brows, by close inspection, we see in dim
letters the word "MoNopoLY" coming for
ward to take the place of the three good
men that are ruthle sly deposed by this bill
Ther is, as manifest by this measure, an
element in the Legislature which is endeav-
oring to impose on the people repetition of
a few of the old and cursed Il hicks of Rad
icalism. They need watching. AS for
this particular bill we have no fears, how
ever damnable it may be, because we have
confidence that the Governor will not give
it his approval.
