DISTRIBUTION or PUBLIC SCHOOL MONEYS! !!
A Letter from the County Superin.
tendent.

EDITOR HERALD: TO show that a
recent attack upon the County School
Superintendent, for Withholding from
certain districts their proper proper
tien, has arisen from gross ignorance
as well as malice. publish sthe new
law on distribution. 1t became oper-
ative August 1874:
School LoW. Sec. 1858. "All school
moneys apportioned by the Superin-
tenden of Public Instruction (Hon. H.
n. Bolander) must be apportioned to
the several counties in proportion to
the number of census children be-
tween five and seventeen years of age,
as shown by the returns of the School
Census Marshals of the preceding
school year. The School Superintend-
ents of each county must apportion all
State and County school moneys, as
follows:
First. He must ascertain the total
number of teachers each district is en-
titled to, by calculating one teacher
for every one hundred census children,
or fraction thereof, if not less than fif-
teen census children, as shown by the
next preceding'schOoi census.
Second. He must ascertain the num-
Der Of teachers for the county, by add
ing together the number of teachers
assigned ty the several districts
Third. Five hundred dollars shall
be apoortioned to each district for ev-
cry teacher assigned to it; provided
that, to districts having ten and less
than fifteen census children shall be
apportioned three hundred dollars:
Fourth All school moneys remain
ing on hand after apportioning five
hundred dollars to each district having
fifteen census children or more, for
every teacher assigned it, and after APP
portioning three hundred dollars to
districts having less than fifteen GEN.
sus children, must be apportioned to
the several districts having not less
than fifty census children, in proper
tiOn to the numb Der of census children
in each disirict.r
Under the previous system, State
and County apportionments were pro
rata accorking to the number of GEN.
sus chileren, and in no other way.
Tarties not conversant with the new
law naturally may have supposed the
County Superintendent to have COM
mitted errors in recent distributions.
Under the old system, towns and
thickly settled portions, received an
undue share of moneys. Sparsely set
tied places received so little that edu-
cation to them was impossible The
new law is in the interest of large
class in the county formerly helpless,
1t is intended to equalise educational
privileges; to give the weakest dis.
trict an opportunity to maintain an
eight months school, as well as the
most favored. GEO. H. PECK.

PACIFIC COAST.
San Francisco News.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2Sth.
inquest on Ralston is concluded for the
present. An autopsy is being made
and the result will not be known until
tomorrow. The preliminary testi-
mony shows the conclusion that Rails
ton died from the effects of fit of apo
plexy, superinduced by going into cold
water while in very heated condi-
tion, and the verdict will probably be
to that effect. The funeral takes place
from Calvary Church on Monday at
IL A. NJ. Public bodies have been in
vited to participate and many will ac-
cept. The Stock Boards and the Pro-
duce Exchange met to-day and passed
the usual resolutions of coincidence and
respect. Every flag in the city is fly
ing at half-mast; also those of many
vessels in the harbor, and the Stock
Board rooms and the Bank of Caiifor-
mia are draped in mourning.
The stock brokers are much encour-
aged by the state of affairs to-day.
Many of them anticipate an early re-
sumption of business, and the Board
will begin again in week from Mon
day.
The Merchants Exchange and Trust
Banks promise an early resumption of
business.
Arrangements are being made to
have the reserve of the Sub-Treasury
here put into the banks, which will
be done by the middle of next week.
This amounts to $3,0O0,00O and will
help materially.
No brokers are as yet reported in
solvent.
The merchants are pressing country
merchants for all they can get, but no
rorced measures are taken except such
as are necessary to protect themselves
in law. Daily transfers are made to
the Sub-Treasury from New York.
By Tuesday or Wednesday next all
will be we'll with our banks here.
The Merchants Exchange Bank and
National Gold Bank and Trust Com
pany will probably open by the middle
of next week, when they will be pre-
pared to meet all demands that may be
made on them. There will be no SER
ious result from this panic, everything
going on smooth. No failures and no
of any. After the banks are
re-opened business will continue as us.
ual with probably an improvement as
there will be more money afioat than
will be required for all purposes. This
is very good natured break, nobody
seems to be hurt by it and there will be
no damage, as accounts are allowed to
stand as they are until preparations
are made to pay all necessary de-
mands. The Merchants Exchange
Bank, and National Gold Bank and
trust Company are as sound as ever.

Purity and Reform,

1t was the purpose of Messrs. BRI-
ERLY and BoUToN when they put up
the Republican county convention and
threw over it the thin Independent
covering to require of the delegates an
endorsement of HoUGHToN for Con-
gress, but on reflection it was thought
more polite to say nothing about him
in the convention and compel an en-
dorsement and support by Indepen-
dent speakers from the stump, and in
the columns of the Independent organ.
This resolve Messrs. BoUTON and BRI-
ERLY made known to the Independent
candidates after their nomination and
few Gemurred, saying that they pre-
ferred to support the Independent
nominee. These murmurs were quiz
ted bya threat from Messrs. B. and B.
that unless the Independents agreed to
support HoUGHToN they would call
Republican county convention, nom-
. mate, straight-out Republican ticket
and beat every Republican nominated
by the so called Independent conven-
tion. This was a clincher and the
Republican, HoUGHToN, secured the
support of the Independent county
candidates. The next move was to
force the Independent, the Independ-
ent campaign paper, to advocate the
election of HoUGHToN. When rails
ing the funds to run that paper Judge
THOMPSON, Independent nominee for
Congress, was assessed three hundred
dollars, but in consideration of the fact
that his field of operation extended
over the entire district, his assessment
was reduced to one hundred dollars.
After the paper was started the
HOUHGToN managers of the Indepen-
dent movement waited on the editor
of the Independent and threateningly
demanded that he should discontinue
his support of Judge THOMPSON and
and advocated HoUGHToN. The
threat was unheeded and the demand
denied, and the Independent is not
popular with Messrs. B. and B. nor
with the majority of the candidates
whom it supports. We mention this
incident in the inside workings of the
so called Independent party of this
county to illustrate the difference be-
tween the profession and the practice

The CoIored Voters.

On Monday evening, August 18th,
the colored citizens of Los Angeles
met in mass meeting to determine
upon the course they should pursue in
the present political campaign.
The meeting was organized by the
election of ]. Fletcher Gordon as
Chairman and J. M. Redding as Sec
retary.
The Chairman very briefly stated
the object of the meeting, when, on
motion, the following Executive Com
mittee was elected to attend to the
political affairs of the colored people
of this city: J. Fletcher Gordon,
Chairman; j. M. Redding Secretary;
Philip Pearson, George Van Buren,
Lewis Green. t46
On motion, the colored people
agreed to support the Republican State
and Congressional ticket, leaving the
making up of a county ticket to their
own election.
The committee were instructed to
look after the registration of the col
ored voters particularly and of others
generally.
The name Of Lue Green has been
dropped from the committee for nom
attendance upon it's sessions.

NEWS OF THE MORNING.

Judge Thompson, Independent nominee for
Congress, addressed small audience in this
city last evening
The most intense feeling over the death OF
Ralston still prevails in San Francisco. 1t is
yet unknown whether he committed suicide
or was accidentally drowned.
The excitement over the failure of the Bank
of California is subsding in San Francisco,
and it is believed business will be generally
resumed tomorrow.
The banks of this city transacted no busi-
ness yesterday. The managers thought it best
TO await the result of the panic In San Fran
cisco. Depositors in Los Angeles banks need
be under no apprehension. For every dollar
our banks are responsible, they hold two dol
lars worth OF the soundest securities.
The inquest on the body of Mr.. Ralston will
not be held until tomorrow.
Passengers who left San Francisco yesterday
per steamer Ancon VIII arrive tomorrow.
Late advices from San Francisco say that
the Bank of California will do no more busi-
ness. but will settle up as it can be done with
out sacrificing the securities.
The attempt OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to obtain control of the At
lantic and Pacific Telegraph Company's lines
has failed.
A dispatch from San Francisco says the
Republicans are distributing throughout the
State Democratic tickets in which they have
printed the names of some of their candidates,
including their candidate for Congressman.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-08-29

We heard an Independent remark
yesterday that Mr.. TEMPLE only
wanted the Treasurer's office for the
money he could make out of the coun-
ty funds. We presume this is true,
but we think the people had better
keep their money in the hands of a
man who has it on hands each month
when the officer of the law call to count
it. TEMPLE and WORKMAN agreed
with the City Council to pay stated
interest on the city funds and though
it is generally understood that the
money is in their bank and that they
are using it, they have never paid a
cent of interest and do not intend to.
Rowan has proved an honest custo-
dian of the county funds, and if the
people are wise they will retain tried
and faithful servant.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-08-29

they are for party and how little for
principle; it convince the most scepti-
cal that the cry of "purity andfeform"
is but hollow sound-a fraud and a
deception, intended to deceive the peo-
pie into placing the old extravagant
and corrupt Republican party again
in power. 1t was not enough to force
the Independent convention to nomi-
nate Republicans forcounty offices and
then forcethem to support HGUGHToN.
Prescription must be carried still fur
ther and the paper which Judge
THOMPSON was assessed to support,
was threatened with annihilation if
it did not advocate his opponent. And
this is the purity, reform and indepen-
dence of the Independent party of Los
Angeles county.
