STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

"Senator Laine has introduced q bill ap.
propriating $40, 900 for two years for the
further Improvement of the building and
grounds of the State Normal School, at San
Jose. Before this is passed it would be well
to inquire whether great deal of money
could not be saved by incorporating the
State Normal School with the State Univer-
sity, and making the same Professors and
the same building do for both. There is no
need in making two separate establish
ments. IS. r. Post.
In this short paragraph, the Post merely
makes mild suggestion; but the import
ance of the subject demands for it the most
earnest considerat ion. 1t is standing ar
gument which cannot be denied, that the
State Normal School would turn out much
better results at much less expense if asso-
cated in conjunction with the State Univer
sity. We do not think the same professors
and the same buildings would do for both in
all respects, though in great measure they
would. The Professors of Science and
Philosophy in the University have ample
time, and could give all needed instruction
in these branches in the Normal School,
which would be saving in this particular
cf at least one-half. In regard to the build
ings, we think there should be a separate
structure. for purely Normal Instructions.
Still in this particular much could be seved,
as the same lecture rooms, the same de-
partments for apparatus, books, ETC., would
do for all. Aside from the economy of tie
change, which would amount to an individ-
ual fortune annually. the advantages to the
pupils are numerous. The use Of the ex-
tensive library and apparatus, and the priv
ilege of attending lectures, besides an asso-
citation with the highest literary talent would
be of incalculable benefit to the Normal
pupils, advantages which they cannot have
at their present location without an i'm
mense additional outlay by the State, which
would not be warranted. All tins is in fa-
vor of removal, say nothing about the in
crease in the number of pupils that would
attend the Normal School, and consequent
increase in results, which would naturally
arise, were the school located close to San
Francisco, the great parentage of our Nor
NAL and University applicants.

AUBURN, JANUARY "a, 1874.
kAMIE AND JUTE.

We have received from Commissioner
Watts, of the Agricultural Society, a PAM
phlet on the Couture and Manufacture of
Jute and Ramie." it speaks favorably of
the profitable culture of these articles in
the United States, particularly that Of Jute.
The American trade now dsbnrses millions
of dollars annually in gold to pay for the
manufactured and unmanufactured jute re-
oeived from Bombay and Calcutta. The
cultivation and manufacture of this article
IN the United States would relieve us Of
this immense annual tribute to foreign pow
*. and experiments have proved that a bet
tor quality, and more to the acre can be
raised in the Southern States than even in
Hindoostan, which now supplies the world.
From the description Of the soil and climate
required for its culture, we should judge
that California, particularly the Southern
part, is the place of all Others where it will
thrive best. This State uses more of the
article than any other State in the Union,
and pays a heavier tribute for its importa-
tion than any other, which fact, taken in
connection with the favorable conditions of
our soil and climate for producing it, should
demand an effort in that direction at once.

REFORMATION OF CRIMINALS. This sub
ject seems to be demanding considerable at
tention from our Legislators just now. The
idea is good one, if well carried out. The
only trouble with such measures is, they are
apt to involve too much red tape. Senator
Tuttle has introduced a bill entitled "An act
to establish State .Reformatory," which
re-organizes the State Prison system en-
tirely, and which would require an amend
ment of the State Constitution before it could
be adopted. Senator j. II. Neff has intro
duced bill to establish State Reformatory
at San Quentin, which provides for the erection
Of Reformatory outside of the walls of t. e
State Prison, where prisoners under the age
Of twenty-one shall be sent, and where they
shall receive moral instructions at least two
hours each day. The object sought is a
good one, but the means of accomplishing it
would be very expensive.

1t is pity to spoil such pretty romance.
But it is so exceedingly thin we cannot

the Clerk of the House of Representatives,

a letter to the Assistant District Attorney,

not address him as civilian Harrington,

sational newspaper correspondents.
This Infamous trick is only another evil
dencc of the lack of real capital which the
Democrats of Louisiana have to operate
with. They appear not only willing, but
anxious, to commit all the crimes in the
calendar to encompass their objective point
the control of the State government.
But this should surprise no one. Men who
will deliberately plan treason and murder
innocent citizens for power and place can
not be expected to stumble and halt at the
lesser crime of forgery.

THE spirit Of mob law and murder now
50 rampant among the Democratic leaders
in the extreme South appears contagious.
1t will be seen by reference to our dis
patches elsewhere that it has even reached
the First Congressional district of Virginia,
where the Hon. ]. B. Sener, Representa-
tive in Congress from that district, was
mobbed and nearly murdered on Monday
while engaged in a joint discussion with
his opponent. 1t has been evident for
some days past that the Democrats were
becoming FESTIVE at the prospects of defeat.
And this uneasiness has also been exhibited
by their candidate in the resort to offensive
remarks, designed to stir up personal strife
upon several occasions. His tactics have
been to meet argument with in
vective provocative Of quarrel and
with the relation of smutty anecdotes Of
the merits of the discussion on Monday the
accounts are barren, but it is safe to say
that Mr.. Sener carried himself with his
usual gentlemanly courtesy and confined
his remarks to rendering an account Of his
course in Congress and vindication Of the
policy ofthe Republican party. His oppo-
nent appears to have given the signal to his
followers by throwing q tumbler at the
head of Mr.. Sener, when the whole pack
set upon him in the true Southern planta-
ton style of chiYalry. Such ruffianly and
murderous interruptions of free speech are
disgrace to any community, and more es-
peciaIly to those of Virginia, who have
pride6 themselves latterly upon their free
dom from such lawless disturbances, This
personal attack upon peaceful, lAw-abid-
ing citizen and faithful Representative will
not gain any votes for Major Douglass.

as due solely to the newspapers, who had

sation and directing attention to them.
selves. As for his making any statement
on the subject, he had never thought of
suck a thing, nor had he ever talked on
the subject with any one. He did not
think it would comport with his dignity as
President Of the United States to make
statement on this question in response to
the ciamors of the newspapers.
These expressions Of the President were
heartily Endorsed by the members of the
Cabinet, who attribute the attempts of GER
tain newspapers to force any opinion what
ever from him regarding the subject to a
desire to make an exhibition of them power.
